When Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was still a monk, he once passed by a small place named Wu Jun. Due to the remoteness of the place, the imperial court rarely bothered to take care of it. Later, Prince Xu of Wujun Taishou established himself as king and changed his name, Junguo. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was in decline, and rebels rose up one after another, so they didn't care about this place.
The people here are more business-savvy, and although the place is not large, it is very prosperous. At that time, when Zhu Yuanzhang came here to turn his fate, an old man brought him some food, and told him that he couldn't turn his fate into something, so he just came to me.
Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in Junguo for more than two months, and the old man kept his promise. As long as he comes every time, he will give Zhu Yuanzhang something to eat. Zhu Yuanzhang was very grateful, and when he left, he came to pay to the old man.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang got acquainted with Miss Ma and became a subordinate of Guo Zixing of the rebel army. fought bravely on the battlefield and made great achievements, which was appreciated by Guo Zixing. married Miss Ma again, and started his open life.
Through his efforts, he finally became the emperor and founded the Ming Dynasty. In his life, he hated corrupt officials, treacherous villains, and deceitful people. The story begins in the sixth year of his reign as emperor.
One day Liu Bowen came to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: Your Majesty, there is a small country in the north called Junguo. The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is included in the territory of my Ming Dynasty, in the future, Tatar can be used as an important granary for the conquest of Warat.
He is a small county, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the court was in turmoil, Prince Xu took the opportunity to establish himself as the king, and the Yuan court only cared about the rebel army at that time and did not care about him. Now it's the world of the Ming Dynasty, and I think he should be taken back.
At that time, it is only necessary to let Zhu Di, the king of Yan, send troops from Beiping, and he can take it in a few days. You can put a large amount of grain there, north of Junguo, the land is vast, you can station troops, and you can attack Warat and Tatar at any time.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, Junguo reminded him of when he was a monk and lived there for a while. He said to Liu Bowen: I used to stay there for a period of time, and the people there were very simple, who is there now?
Liu Bowen replied: It is Wang Zixu's eldest son, Wang Wenxing. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: If it wasn't for the old man, it would have been possible for me to starve to death by now. In this way, Berwyn, sent an envoy to the country, and the two countries continued to maintain a friendly attitude.
They are still their handsome country, let them agree that we can store food there and station troops. Think of it as a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty. Liu Bowen saw it, didn't say anything, and retreated.
After more than a month, the envoy came back and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang that Wang Wenxing, the king of Junguo, very much agreed with His Majesty's approach, and hoped that the two countries would always be on good terms, and that they would pay tribute to us every year to express their friendly attitude.
The envoys of Junguo also followed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and brought a lot of gifts to the Ming Dynasty. The envoy of Junguo said that Zhu Yuanzhang is a generation of benevolent monarchs, and we feel very honored that Junguo can be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang also gave back some Ming specialties to Junguo, and the two countries have always maintained a friendly attitude. Later, many businessmen from Junguo also came to Daming to do business, but because of this, it finally led to the end of the country.
Once Hu Weiyong was walking on the street and saw a lot of people in front of him, so he stepped forward to see what was happening. When I looked closer, I realized that it was a merchant from Junkook who was selling a medicine.
This medicine is called longevity pills, those who are sick can cure all diseases, and those who are not sick can prolong their lives if they eat it, and it is very expensive to sell. Hu Weiyong asked curiously: Is it true or false that this medicine cures all diseases and prolongs life?
When the merchant saw this, he replied: "His father had been bitten by a poisonous snake when he was farming, and he couldn't see a man. A merchant passed by and took out a pill for my father to take, and after a while he was fine.
I think this medicine is very spiritual, and in order for more people to have a good body, I have been buying it from him since then and selling it all over the country. This adult, you said that one or two pieces of silver, one a month, how cost-effective is good health?
Hu Weiyong walked over and picked up one and looked at it, put it in his mouth and tasted it, a little sweet, and asked the person again. I bought this for a friend, if there is any problem, watch your head.
The man smiled and said, "Oh, my lord, you can laugh, the little one doesn't dare to have ten guts." Hu Weiyong took out fifty taels of silver and bought fifty longevity pills.
After he bought it, he immediately entered the palace to meet Zhu Yuanzhang and offered fifty longevity pills to him and Queen Ma. Zhu Yuanzhang picked one up and said: Is this medicine really so spiritual?
Hu Weiyong knelt on the ground and said: Your Majesty, I have already tried it, this medicine is indeed very magical, and I am refreshed after taking it. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him again and put the pill in his mouth.
After Zhu Yuanzhang ate it, he felt clear-headed and instantly refreshed. So I picked up another one and let Queen Ma taste it too. After Queen Ma finished eating, she felt that the effect was good, and praised Hu Weiyong.
Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang bought this medicine in large quantities and distributed it to his emperor and so on. However, in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, after the prince Zhu Biao returned from inspecting Shanxi, he caught a cold on the road and died of illness soon after.
Zhu Yuanzhang was grief-stricken and remembered the medicine Hu Weiyong gave him back then. Didn't it say that this medicine can prolong life? Why did Biao'er die of a cold? The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became.
So he arrested the vendor who sold the medicine, escorted him to the Zhenfu Division for questioning, and finally found out the truth of the matter after being tortured. I don't know if I don't know this, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was angry, was furious.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered all the merchants of Junguo to be arrested, and he wanted to interrogate them personally. This made the city full of wind and rain, and a large number of Jinyi guards were dispatched to arrest all the Junguo merchants.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to a vendor and asked: What are you selling, to be honest, I don't like others to lie to me. The peddler's frightened face turned white, and all the 1510 were recruited.
In the past, they sold their goods far away, and they made less money. Since coming to Daming, it can basically be multiplied more than ten times, and slowly began to cheat to minimize the cost. This is also allowed by the king, saying that the money of the Ming Dynasty is easy to earn.
Although we sell counterfeit goods, we are taken care of by the government, plus the support of the king. We dare to do this, Your Majesty the Emperor, spare your life.
The merchant took the pill in his hand and looked at it, and returned to His Majesty, it was the longevity pill sold by the grass people. Zhu Yuanzhang scolded: Then tell me, what's going on with this pill?
The vendor said: This pill is made of a layer of crispy skin on the outside, and flour, mint, and cane sugar on the inside. Peppermint is refreshing and refreshing. Nowadays, many elderly people are more health-conscious, so they will buy no matter how much money they have.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to another vendor and asked, "Then what are you selling?" The vendor replied: I sell duvets, and there is a small pocket here, which is filled with high-quality down.
But the down is so true, the quilt is full of adulterated fake down. Others also said: I sell health care products, and the elderly can live for more than 100 years after eating. There is also some water in a bamboo tube, which is baked with a candle and applied to the acupoint to prevent the plague.
There are also people who sell geese, which are very cheap, in fact, they are a kind of flying bird, called South African geese, which look very similar to geese. There are also those who sell solar carriage boosters, which can save the horse's physical strength and run longer, in short, sell everything,
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked after hearing this, and said angrily: I didn't want to have a conflict with your Junguo, but you used my Ming Dynasty as a cash cow and harmed my Ming people.
Xu Da, how many troops are stationed around Junguo now? Xu Da replied: Your Majesty, there are only 30,000 troops stationed there at present. Okay, you go and command the army to attack Junguo, and bring the king Wang Wenxing to me.
Escort all the people of Junguo back to Beijing and investigate who is a profiteer and who is a civilian. I will send another 80,000 troops to help you crusade against Junguo, you go and prepare.
After Xu Da set off, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately planned to recruit and sent people to Beiping, so that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, could send troops to attack Junguo. Zhu Di saw that his father-in-law was coming with troops, so he prepared sufficient food and grass, ordered 80,000 troops, and went straight to Junguo.
Junguo is quite large, with a population of about 400,000, but the army is not very strong, but it is rich. Envoys were sent to ask for reinforcements from the Tatars and Warat.
The Tatar Ministry let Xu Da and Zhu Di fight on their stomachs, and Warat only brought 30,000 cavalry. They were suitable for fighting on the plains, but Junguo was too hilly for cavalry to fight, so they watched from a distance.
It didn't take long for Zhu Di's 80,000 elite soldiers to surround Junguo, and Xu Da also led 30,000 elite soldiers to arrive. Originally, he wanted to persuade them to surrender, but Wang Wenxingfei wanted to find death, but he didn't expect to break through the city in only four days.
Xu Da escorted 400,000 people of Junguo and King Wang Wenxing back to Nanjing, and Zhu Di left 20,000 people to guard Junguo. Then he returned to Beiping with the rest of the generals, and a prosperous small vassal state instantly became lifeless.
After two months of interrogation, 17,000 of them were profiteers, and as long as they were profiteers, they would directly exterminate the three tribes. Wang Wenxing and other ministers involved in the counterfeit case were punished by the nine clans. Since then, Junguo has been drawn into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Nearly 280,000 people were convicted in connection with this case. Selling fakes and harming the hard-earned money of the common people will be retributed sooner or later. Even if you are fine, sooner or later it will be retributed to your family.
This story is pure fiction.
Now their scams are ever-changing, and everyone must be aware of them, especially the elderly. I just watched a lot of these videos and wrote this article on a whim.
It is not easy for ordinary people to save money, but in the end they are deceived by them. Anti-scam awareness must be improved, and when you pick up the pie, there may be a big trap below.
