The iron-blooded Yongle Emperor Zhu Di spent his life as a soldier, killing and conquering the country.
In an accident, his soul passed through the shadow of a candle and on the night of the sound of an axe, he became Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, who was criticized in later generations.
He took over a broken dynasty with an unfair position, rampant civil servants, and weak military equipment.
In the north, there are Khitans entrenched in Yanyun, eyeing the Central Plains; there are aristocratic families in the country who control the affairs of the court and cannot be defeated; the Zhao family emphasizes culture over military affairs and has been in peace for a hundred years.
Joke.
How could King Ma, who had been on the battlefield of Jingnan and conquered Mobei five times, endure humiliation and seek peace?
Abolish the Wuzu system, purge redundant officials and redundant soldiers, and eliminate hidden dangers in the court with an iron fist.
He personally led the three armies in the Northern Expedition, defeated the Khitan, and recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Is it true that civil servants are harming the country by empty talk? I have rules to punish the ten clans.
The remnants of the vassal town, foreign enemies and barbarians, and powerful officials of aristocratic families, all who stand in the way will be killed.
From now on, there will no longer be a weak Song Dynasty that is poor and weak, but only a strong Song Dynasty with iron and blood, with guests from all over the world subdued, and all nations coming to court.
