One emperor through the ages.
Zhu Yuanzhang started with a bowl, which contained broken mountains and rivers, as well as the dignity of the Han people that had fallen for 400 years.
The Han people of the Yuan Dynasty lost not only their self-confidence in the world but also their ceremonial clothes. There are ten Confucian scholars and nine beggars in the land of China. The style of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty have been shelved in the high cabinet, and the Chinese civilization has fallen to the extreme loneliness.
When Zhu Yuanzhang regained Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Liaodong and other places that had been lost for hundreds of years, the Han people in the north were dressed like Hu, their language and customs changed drastically, and the identity of the Chinese nation almost collapsed.
Without Zhu Yuanzhang's strong efforts to restore the Chinese attire, reshape the Han identity, and continue the cultural heritage, it would be almost impossible to have a unified China.
Zhu Yuanzhang washed away the weak Song Dynasty, drove out the strong Han captives, restored China, and established a strong and strong Ming Dynasty. Save the Chinese Han people from slavery and humiliation, and strengthen the Ming Empire to become the common ruler of the world. His historical achievements are as far ahead as those of Tang Zong and Han Wu, and directly catch up with Qin Shihuang.
Some people falsify historical records, slandering his severe punishments and cruel temperament, and even falsely accuse him of massacring meritorious officials. I write this article now to clear up the injustice.
Here is an important point: Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty treated his people with kindness that no emperor in the past could match. It is for this reason that the Ming Dynasty was able to recuperate and recuperate for thirty years, making the country prosperous and the people peaceful, and prospering.
Emperor Hongwu, the descendants of the Han family who were deeply blessed by Heaven, kowtowed after 600 years! Bow down!
This article also tells the historical truth. It will jump out of the history textbooks that have been flooded with water and reveal a Ming Dynasty that is more powerful and glorious than we know.
The story involves two generations of emperors, Hongwu and Yongle, spanning 50 years.
