In the more than 2,000 years of feudal history on the mainland, more than 20 feudal dynasties have appeared. 当然，这二十多个封建王朝都是统一的封建王朝，在这众多的王朝中，有绝大多数都是通过好几代人的厮杀共同努力才建立起来的。
但是仅仅靠白手起家建立起来的只有一位。 这便是明朝皇帝朱元璋，他以草根出身最后却登上皇帝的宝座，这中间到底经历了些什么呢？

First, born poor, helpless to become a monk
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in 1328 in Haozhou in a poor peasant family. 因为他在兄弟中排行第八，所以父亲给他取名为重八，后来在他十五岁的时候，濠洲大旱，第二年又发生瘟疫，本来就穷苦的家庭更雪上加霜，朱元璋的父母和大哥先后去世，只剩下他和二哥，他们两个没有钱，好心的邻居送了块地，他才用破布料把亲人简单的葬了。 之后，为了活命，两兄弟决定分开谋生。
Desperate, Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly came to the Huangjue Temple and became a monk. Later, there was also a famine in the temple, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to go down the mountain and start a life of begging.
Zhu Yuanzhang set out from the Huangjue Temple, begging while walking, and it was several years later, and in the past few years, he visited Huaixi, opened his eyes, met the world, and came into contact with a lot of customs and people.
Later, he received a letter from his childhood friend Tang He, in which he told Zhu Yuanzhang that he had joined Guo Zixing's rebel army and wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to participate in it, and after his deliberation, he chose to defect.

Second, he fought bravely and was appreciated by Guo Zixing
After Zhu Yuanzhang joined the rebel army, he was brave and resourceful in every battle, and soon won Guo Zixing's appreciation. After that, he completed everything that Guo Zixing distributed to Zhu Yuanzhang beautifully, so he also became Guo Zixing's confidant, and later, he gave his adopted daughter Ma Shi to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Later, as the generals in the army clashed and wanted to kill Guo Zixing, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that these people would only compete for fame and fortune, and would not achieve great things, so he decided to achieve a career on his own.

So he returned to his hometown to recruit soldiers, and his childhood friends heard that he was now a small leader, and they all came to help. Zhu Yuanzhang soon gathered eight hundred men and horses.
随着时间的流逝，郭子兴并没有外出征战的意思，朱元璋坐不住了，他带领心腹汤和与徐达等人迅速离开军营，南下征战。 On the way south, he collected more than 3,000 people, relying on these people to defeat the Yuan army stationed in Dingyuan, and again recruited the elite 20,000 people. Zhu Yuanzhang led his rebel army all the way south, capturing several cities in succession.
In 1955, Guo Zixing died of illness, Xiaoming King Han Lin'er appointed Guo Zixing's son Guo Tianxu as the marshal of the capital, although Zhu Yuanzhang had his own army, but still subject to the control of the Red Turban Army, during this period, Marshal Du pointed fingers, although Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling, but he could only bear not to break out, and has been secretly strengthening the strength of his army.
Third, take the initiative to establish Daming
In order to continue to expand his strength, Zhu Yuanzhang took the risk and began a struggle with Chen Youshu and Zhang Shicheng. Due to the geographical restrictions, if you want to win, you must take the initiative, and in order to prevent Zhang Shicheng from sending troops to support, he fought quickly against Chen Youcheng's troops. When Chen Youcheng died in the battle in Poyang Lake, his troops collapsed
After eliminating Chen Youcheng, Zhu Yuanzhang mobilized his army, step by step, and began to devour Zhang Shicheng's sphere of influence, occupying several of his cities and trapping him in Suzhou. Half a year later, Zhu Yuanzhang attacked the city of Suzhou and captured Zhang Shicheng.
Zhu Yuanzhang won successive victories, not only unified the Jiangnan region, but also gained the power of many rebel armies, and successively dominated the hegemony.
In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang declared himself emperor and formally established Daming, and began the war to unify the country.

4. Unify the whole country and promulgate regulations
明朝成立之后，朱元璋便下令奖励农民耕种，支持开垦荒地，免征赋税。 组织各地居民修建水利工程，恢复奴隶，解放了大量的劳动力，这样的措施使明朝建国后全国耕地面积比元朝增加了一倍多，大大促进了农业的发展。
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a farmer, and he knew how hard farmers worked. 于是他制订了一系列惩治贪官污吏的措施，而且为了防止豪强阶级的出现，他利用各种原因消灭了诸多地主阶级。
The promulgation of the new regulations not only solved the burden of people's lives after the Great War, but also cultivated themselves and gradually restored the country's economy.
However, in order to consolidate his rule and keep his position from being threatened, he still killed countless founding figures. These heroes made great contributions to the meritorious deeds, and in the end they could not escape the fate of being killed, which was also the choice made by Zhu Yuanzhang to strengthen the imperial power.
Zhu Yuanzhang's step-by-step move from a grass citizen to a symbol of power, and his resourcefulness, courage and good fighting, Corporal Lixian is inseparable, and after the establishment of the new dynasty, he also took a series of measures to benefit the country and the people, although he became violent in the later period, it could not hide the fact that he was an emperor from scratch.
