| Ming Chengzu Zhu Di had a personality, and the celebration meeting divided people into four classes, and the lowest class could only watch others eat
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, many believe that he is one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history. No matter from which point of view, Zhu Di is not a good person, he is cruel and ruthless, unscrupulous. If he were an ordinary person, I believe that no one would be friends with him, but he was an emperor and a really good emperor.
The old saying "Mercy does not control the soldiers, righteousness does not manage money," this sentence is also applicable to the emperor, a will be a thousand bones withered, you see how many emperors in history are really good people? The emperor was too benevolent and doomed not to work long, and Zhu Yunjiao was like this, so he would be overthrown by his uncle Zhu Di.
Therefore, Zhu Di is not a good person, but a good emperor. During his reign, he worked hard to govern, following the example of his father Zhu Yuanzhang, who got up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs. During his reign, the Ming Dynasty appeared a rare glory in history, which fully met the criteria for the definition of prosperity in later generations, because during his reign he was called Yongle Shengshi.
In addition to being a good emperor, Zhu Di was also a war maniac, and every time he fought after his ascension to the throne, he was a royal conquest. When he was still the king of the domain, he experienced the baptism of war and achieved good results, laying the foundation for his later overthrow of Emperor Jianwen.
In ancient times, the northern borders of China were always invaded by nomadic peoples, and many emperors sent people to conquest throughout the dynasties. The war maniac Zhu Di naturally would not let go of this opportunity.
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, the Northern Yuan split into two parts, namely Tatars and Vala, in 1409, Zhu Di sent 100,000 troops to conquer Tatars, and finally failed miserably, Zhu Di was furious, in order to ensure the stability of the northern border, in 1410 he personally marched and began five pro-conquests of northern Mobei, only the second target was Vala, and the remaining four were all for the conquest of Tatars.
The first expedition reached half a million troops, and although the enemy army was defeated, it was not worth mentioning the attrition of its own army. The second Yongle twelve years, this is the best result. The Wallachian army fled in defeat, and more than a dozen princes were captured. Zhu Di's army won more and less, but lost much more than the Wallachians.
The third time, in the twentieth year of Yongle, Zhu Di went out to attack the remnants of the Tatars and led 300,000 troops deep into the steppe, but because the Tatars had no intention of fighting, they found nothing, but they heard the news that Wuliangha had returned to Tatars, and turned to fight Wuliangha.
This personal march did not achieve much results, but after his class returned to the dynasty, he still held a celebration meeting, and he still had a personality. He divided the people who went out with him into four classes according to merit and merit, the first class was meritorious and had no fault and ate the best seat, and the second class was the person whose merits and faults were offset, and ate a little worse.
The third class is no merit or fault, and can sit at the bottom and eat the worst seat. The last wait is miserable, that is, people who have no merit and no faults, they have no need to sit, they can only stand aside and watch others eat.
Judging from the results of the third personal enlistment, presumably the most are those who have no merit and eat the worst seats. I have to say that this Ming Chengzu Zhu Di can also play!
Later, the fourth expedition also had no success, but there were unexpected gains, although it did not personally suppress the Tatars, but the Tatars were wiped out by the Wallachians, and the northern border had a temporary tranquility. The fifth time was more ridiculous, did nothing, went back directly empty-handed, Zhu Di, a war maniac, even died directly on the way back to the dynasty.
For these five pro-conquests, the evaluation of later generations is also mixed, although it has dealt a heavy blow to the remnants of the Northern Yuan, but it has not fundamentally solved the problem of the border. On the contrary, it led to a deficit in the national treasury, and the people suffered money, and later Emperor Akihito and Emperor Mingxuanzong both chose to recuperate.
Dear officials, what do you think about this, welcome to leave a message in the comment area to interact, discuss the Ming Emperor's things together, like not to forget to like and pay attention to Oh!
