Great Ming: Oh No, Zhu Yuanzhang Has His Eyes on Me

Why are everyone so opposed to Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of officials? To tell the truth, among the many emperors in ancient China, no one could be found who was as good to the people as Zhu Yuanzhang. To put it simply, as a common man, I wish that Zhu Yuanzhang would kill all the corrupt officials.

Among the 150 founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, only 26 actually died at the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, accounting for about 17% of the total. Therefore, it is inaccurate to say that "all the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty, except Tang He, were massacred by Zhu Yuanzhang". There has always been a folk saying that after Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, in order to ensure that the Zhu family was passed down from generation to generation, he went on a killing spree against those who had followed him in the southern and northern wars and made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Almost all the founding heroes were brutally massacred, and only Tang He survived and was able to start well and end well. Is this statement accurate? First of all, it should be clear that after Zhu Yuanzhang stabilized the Ming Dynasty, he did kill many of the founding fathers. From the Hu Weiyong case in 1380 to the Lan Yu case in 1393, Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Wang Guangyang, Yang Xian, Lan Yu, Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Wang Bi, Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, Zhou Dexing, Cao Zhen, Zhang Yi, Zhu Shou and other founding fathers died at the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang. However, there were many founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country. Except for Tang He, most of the founding fathers were not killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing, he once knighted 150 people who had made outstanding contributions to the founding of the country. They include 25 dukes, 79 marquises, 12 earls, 11 viscounts, and 23 barons. Let's first look at the 25 Dukes, namely Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, Li Shanchang, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Deng Yu, Tang He, Lan Yu, Fu Youde, Hu Dahai, Geng Zaicheng, Zhang Desheng, Zhao Desheng, Ding Pulang, Yu Tingyu, Liao Yongan, Mao Cheng, Yu Tonghai, Ding Dexing, Yan De, Tao An, Pu Ying, Kang Maocai, Kang Duo, Feng Guoyong. Among these 25 dukes, only four, Li Shanchang, Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, and Fu Youde, were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, accounting for about one-tenth. Some of the remaining 21 dukes died in the war, such as Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu, Hu Dahai, Geng Zaicheng, Zhang Desheng and others. Some died of illness, such as Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Tang He and others. What's interesting is that although Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Tang He and others all started well and ended well, they are not very old. Xu Da was 54 years old, Li Wenzhong was 46 years old, and Tang He was 70 years old. Tang He lived the longest among the 25 founding Dukes. However, he still did not survive Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was 71 years old and died of illness 4 years after Tang He's death. When Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness, there was no founding duke around him. Let's take a look at the 79 Marquises. Among the 79 marquises, the founding fathers we are familiar with include Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, Zhou Dexing, Hua Yunlong, Gu Shi, Geng Bingwen, Chen De, Guo Xing, Wang Zhi, Zheng Yuchun, Liao Yongzhong, Mu Ying, Zhu Liangzu and others. According to historical records, there are Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, Zhou Dexing, Zheng Yuchun, Fei Ju, Zhao Yong, Zhu Liangzu, Hu Mei, Huang Bin, Lu Ju, Xie Cheng, Cao Xing, Ye Sheng, Cao Zhen, Zhang Wen, Li Xin, Chen Huan Twenty people, Zhang Yi, Zhu Shou and Sun Ke, were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang because they were involved in the Hu Weiyong case or the Lan Yu case. Although two others, Yu Tongyuan and Xue Xian, were pursued as Hu Weiyong's associates, they had already died before and were not punished. As a result, about a quarter of the marquises are Zhu Yuan

I find that many of you are saints. Is Lao Zhu a good emperor? Yes, is Lao Zhu good to the people? Good! Is Lao Zhu nice to officials? Basically, he is the worst one in the orthodox dynasty. If I traveled through time and I was a commoner, I would support Zhu Yuanzhang. If I were the management, or had the ability and merit, would I assist Zhu Yuanzhang? I will do it only if I want to die. According to statistics, Lao Zhu killed nearly one-third of the heroes, one-third! What is this concept? One of the three died. This is after deducting those who died of illness before Zhu Biao's death, and those who were wrapped in horse leather. If these are also counted, then nearly half of the heroes did not survive Zhu Biao's death. Moreover, Lao Zhu did not kill just one person, but asked your whole family to accompany you to play mahjong below. If you traveled through time, I would not be stingy about it. Help the people, but make me unable to burn coal in winter (Li Dongyang), eating meat becomes news (Hai Rui), cannot afford to raise my daughter and watch him die (Hai Rui) in order to exchange for the people's health. I am not a saint, I can't do it. Isn't this just like 007 does not pay overtime in a company that produces high-quality and cheap goods? How many people can do this? Sacrificing me for everyone's happiness? Sorry I can't do it! And I'm sure that 99% of the people here can't do it!

Why do some people always ignore that Zhu Yuanzhang was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty? ? ? The dynasty that made the Yuan Dynasty so bloody had a very low sense of existence.

Anyone who crosses Lao Zhu's body will kill officials. If it were me, I would kill more

What have you been writing about lately? Changed the protagonist? Why do you need a protagonist with this posture? Just write Zhu Yuanzhang 🙂

Why don't you rebel and become emperor yourself? Although Zhu Yuanzhang is good, can't he do it himself? Isn't it possible that Pig's Feet is not confident in winning the founding war?

The more I watch it, the sadder it becomes. I can already see the future plot.

It's not Zhu Yuanzhang. We in the north are probably even more barbaric. It is impossible to say that the country is already divided. After all, the north has been ruled by alien influences for hundreds of years, so from this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang is ranked among the top three emperors. Don't tell me that there are other rebel armies. The Yuan Dynasty still has strength, and most of the north is still in their hands. And how can other rebel armies compare with Zhu Yuanzhang? Zhu Yuanzhang has been studying hard, but he has certain limitations in thinking, but his role and influence on China is comparable to that of Qin Shihuang. Some people are so shady, I am also drunk. The Ming Dynasty spent decades changing customs and shaping its roots, otherwise we would still be doing shit here.

This, this, this, today, this is the plot of a TV series, don't bully us for not studying enough
