The Ming Dynasty is a more special existence, "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty" is a mess of fire, to be honest, I have not seen it, because it is relatively close to the present, how to say that it is those things.
The Prison of Hu Lan
In 1368, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he further strengthened the centralization of power. This may be related to the fact that he is the most humble origin in history, the lowest level to become an emperor, what a creation, sincere fear, must try every means to consolidate the power. The first step is to cook the rabbit and the dead dog. In order to prevent the heroes and powerful people from rebelling in the future, the first attack was strong, and after two political campaigns of the "Prison of Hu Lan", tens of thousands of founding heroes and civilian military generals were killed. Xu Da, a great hero, is said to have sores on his back and cannot eat hair, so Zhu Yuanzhang sent steamed geese to him to eat, so he treated the brothers who fought in Jiangshan together, which was really non-toxic and not a husband.
Jinyi Wei
Zhu Yuanzhang also abolished the system of ministers, reformed the setup of central and local organs, divided powers and opposed corruption with both hands, and firmly controlled the military and political powers. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also had to control the thoughts and actions of officials, set up the Jinyi Guard, and the emperor directly commanded this secret service agency to monitor officials in all directions. Later, the Ming Dynasty further added secret service agencies, and the East Factory and the West Factory were all led by eunuchs, breaking the rule that eunuchs could not interfere in politics when the country was founded, and the eunuch dictatorship was extremely serious in the Ming Dynasty, gradually destroying the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule.
Not only was there surveillance of officials, but there were also court staffs in the imperial court, and if they didn't agree, they had to be beaten on the board, and Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed a bit violent and shady. As for the literal prison of thought control, it is even more conceivable.
The reign of Hongwu
Judging from the two points of view, Zhu Yuanzhang still has a view of the overall situation; he has rectified the rule of officials on the one hand, developed the economy on the other, created the "rule of Hongwu", and the world is stable and prosperous. From the perspective of a politician, Zhu Yuanzhang's various means to strengthen imperial power and establish the basic system of the Ming Dynasty were nothing more than to leave a stable Jiangshan Society for future generations, and Taizu's pioneering deeds cannot be denied.
Zhu Yunjiao
Zhu Yuanzhang realized the drawbacks of the Great Song Dynasty's strong cadres and weak branches, as well as the remaining Mongol forces, and had to divide his children and grandchildren as the kings of the domain and guard the fortresses throughout the country. The key time is still that their own family is reliable, let them be strong and strong, and let their children and grandchildren destroy him wherever they dare to rebel. Crown Prince Zhu Biao died too early, and when Zhu Yuanzhang died, Zhu Biao's son, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunjiao, took the throne, and he was Emperor Minghui, with the era name Jianwen.
Map of the situation in the Battle of Jingnan
Uncles have heavy troops in their hands, if they do not cut the clan, they may be "cut by the clan", maybe they are young and vigorous, the rhythm is not grasped well, a little too hasty, the Yan king Zhu Di watched the brothers gradually being abolished, sitting and waiting to die is better to take the initiative to attack, "The Battle of Jingnan" (in the name of the emperor's side by the traitors, sending troops to Jingnan) was staged. Zhu Di's strength was strong, and the Central Army was not a ragtag group, and it took three years of fighting to divide into victories and defeats, and finally Zhu Di won the final victory. After entering Nanjing, emperor Jianwen evaporated and his whereabouts were unknown.
Zhu Di
Zhu Di is the famous Ming Chengzu in history, and later moved the capital to Beijing. Although he was not in the right position, nor was he a benevolent prince, after twenty-two years on the throne, he was definitely the wisest and most promising emperor of the Ming Dynasty. During his reign, he did many important things, such as personally conquering Mongolia, recovering Annam, consolidating the border defense between the north and the south, and maintaining the unity and integrity of China's territory; building the city of Beijing and dredging the canal; compiling and repairing the Yongle Canon; sending Zheng He to the West to strengthen Sino-foreign friendly exchanges. The development of the chaos of the Battle of Jingnan into the "Yongle Prosperous Era" with strong national strength is indeed a grand plan, and the wenzhi martial arts can be called outstanding.
Later generations of Renzong and Xuanzong completed the transformation of the Ming Dynasty from founding to governing the country, but there were also many problems in the subsequent "rule of the world".
The Transformation of the Civil Fort
During the reign of Emperor Yingzong, the "Change of The Earth Fort" occurred. In the face of The Invasion of Vala, at the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen, Emperor Yingzong ignored the objections of his courtiers and marched in person. Under the command of Wang Zhen, who held great power, the "Wise Ming" army besieged the Ming army at Tumu Fort outside JuyongGuan and captured Emperor Yingzong. This was an important event in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the elite of the Ming Army was completely lost and the vitality was seriously injured. In addition, don't forget, Wang Zhen is a eunuch, and he still holds the military power, what kind of system is it?!
Yu Qian
At the critical moment when Vala was holding Yingzong hostage and approaching the city of Beijing, Yu Qian (the author of the < lime yin >, who was crushed to pieces and bones, and wanted to remain innocent in the world) stepped forward and resolutely advocated defending Beijing, avoiding the ruts of the Southern Song Dynasty, and supporting Zhu Qiyu to succeed to the throne, that is, Emperor Jingtai. Under Yu Qian's organization, he fought a battle against the water and used his superiority in weapons to force the Wala army to retreat, which was for the "defense of Beijing". Yu Qian is a great hero!
Ming Yingzong
Under the favorable situation of successive victories of the Ming army, in order to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, Vala decided to return Ming Yingzong. Emperor Taishang returned, how embarrassing Emperor Jingtai was, and because of the fear of not securing the throne, Emperor Jingtai put Emperor Yingzong under house arrest. A few years later, Emperor Jingtai fell seriously ill, and because there was no clear choice for crown prince, several military generals jointly launched the "Nangong Coup", restored Emperor Yingzong, and deposed Emperor Jingtai. At the same time, Yu Qian and other officials who supported Emperor Jingtai were executed, and a generation of loyal subjects ended in injustice.
