In 1344, with drought, locust plague, and plague, Zhu Yuanzhang witnessed his parents and eldest brother being taken away by the plague god, and he and his second brother had to eat the bark of the grass roots. When he couldn't hold on, he found that what his parents did when he was a child could save his life.
The roof leaked during the overnight rain, and the people in the Huai River Basin were really miserable at that time. I hadn't seen any rain for several months, and just when everyone was kowtowing to the Dragon King and begging for rain and anxious about a bad harvest, the locusts that suddenly came from all over the sky ate the few grains left in the rice field. At this time, the common people only want to be able to eat a full meal, which is also a luxury thing.
However, the disaster is not alone, a strange disease has invaded, many people have fallen ill, coupled with the time of nibbling on the bark of grass roots and trees, the nutrition is not enough, the disease is like a mountain, and many people lose their lives in a day and night.
At first, this matter was not taken seriously, until the family died, every day people died, this panicked, people from various villages fled with their children, and even ignored the sick in the family.
In taiping township, more than a dozen villages were desolate and dim overnight, and the population was sparsely populated.
The Zhu family in Guzhuang Village, a family of three, was taken away by the plague god, leaving only Zhu Yuanzhang and the second brother Zhu Zhongliu. They witnessed the fall of their parents and eldest brother, but because they were so poor, they could not buy a coffin, let alone the graveyard where their deceased relatives were buried.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang should be desperate, right? As the owner of the field, the main guest of the Zhu family for several years, when Zhu Yuanzhang begged him to give him a piece of buried bone, he not only ignored it, but also said some unpleasant things. Later, Liu Jizu, who was still in the same village, gave away a piece of land so that the dead parents and brothers could be buried in grass.
After the death of his parents, he did not leave an inch of soil or grain of rice, and after being hungry for a while, he wanted to find a job, but found that the large families had fled the wilderness and fled the plague, and the remaining poor and small households were also starving and could not afford to hire people. So when he was too hungry to do so, he ate the bark of grass roots.
Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to turn to his relatives and friends, but found that the six relatives were all broken, the heavens and the earth were vast, but there was no place for him. When there were more and more locusts, over time, even the bark of the grass roots and trees had been eaten, and he and his second brother could not hold on any longer. After crying for half a day, the second brother came to the conclusion that he was going to go far away and go their separate ways.
However, the second brother was very reluctant to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the two of them hugged their heads and cried bitterly, which made the neighbors sigh with emotion. At this time, there was a Wang Da Niang next door, and she remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang's father had made a wish at the Huangjue Temple and promised to give Zhu Yuanzhang to Master Gao Bin as an apprentice. And Wang Da Niang also reminded that Zhu Yuanzhang could be allowed to become a monk, first, in order to repay the wish, and second, to be a monk and eat light rice, so as not to be starved to death.
It turned out that when Zhu Yuanzhang was born, he would not eat milk for three or four days, and his stomach was swollen and swollen, and he was anxious to break his family. His father, Wusigong, dreamed that he had given Zhu Yuanzhang to the temple, but returned home because he found that there was no one inside when he docked with the temple. As a result, the dream woke up, the child was crying, but he was able to breastfeed, and after a few days, his stomach bloating was better. After growing up, Zhu Yuanzhang was still sick and weak, his parents were flustered, remembering that dream, they went to the temple to make a wish and gave up their bodies to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After being reminded by the eldest mother, the second brother felt that there was no way to do it at present, at this time, being able to eat a bite of rice was equivalent to surviving.
As a result, the Huangjue Temple has had a small shami since then, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been shaved off, has become a disciple of the Buddha, accompanied by the sound of bells and wooden fish every day, and playing bells, drumming, and chanting are daily routines. But because of this, he did not starve to death.
@Forgetting the song is slightly drunk Will descend to the Great Responsibility of the Si people, they must first suffer their hearts and minds, and work their bones. I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's life experience is very good to verify this sentence, so he can go from a monk to a beggar to a king of a country and complete a counterattack in life.
Although becoming the king of a country is also inseparable from Empress Ma, and without the assistance of Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Liu Ji and other military generals, he is a man who suffers bitterly, and his own tenacity and efforts cannot be ignored.
This is also why, after becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was still admired for his diligence and frugality. He still likes to wear old clothes, and after Chen Youyu gave him a gold bed, he even destroyed the bed directly. For him, the experience engraved in his bones reminds him that pragmatism for the people and extravagance cannot last long.
Xiao Bian believes that Zhu Yuanzhang is a very inspirational emperor in history, what do you think?
