The Ming Dynasty’s First Minister

I think there is no need to write so many scenes for the purpose of writing about female protagonists, equality between men and women, and the aura of the protagonist. In ancient historical texts, what everyone would rather see is how to run a country, how to govern, and how to use troops. It is too damn nonsense to engage in so many industrial revolutions and personality revolutions in such articles. The advancement of the wheel of history is not only spiritual but also material development. In ancient times, how could spiritual equality be achieved when there was such a huge gap in physical strength between men and women? Isn't it necessary to engage in personality revolution in order to govern the country? Isn't it okay to have feelings for the family and the country, to govern the country, to command the march, and to be loyal? Is it possible to achieve so much spiritual improvement without advanced technology? For the sake of the halo of the protagonist, it is necessary to write about equality between men and women. Either write a heroine like Queen Ma, or write a pure novice. Don't do so many dramas about love and personality equality. Historical novels are not science fiction. If there is no equality in social production capacity and technology, how can there be equality in personality and spirit? I really regretted buying the whole book at once.

What is the most sacred word in the book, a word with a mission? Even though the protagonist's name is Zhu Yuanzhang, it's not the Northern Expedition! I have always said that as the protagonist, the time traveler knows the general trend of history. If his time travel comes, it will not speed up the pace of Zhu Yuanzhang's ascension to the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and it will be meaningless for him to time travel. In history, Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled before and after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in 1368, which took 15 years in today's Nanjing. But now Zhu Yuanzhang in the book will only ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor at a faster speed, start the Northern Expedition, march northward with a three-foot green front, drive out the Huru, and restore the Han family to a unified country. On that day, hundreds of millions of people dawned. Hundreds of years ago, there were countless people with lofty ideals in the Liang and Song Dynasties, such as Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Xin Qiji, Wang Anshi and so on. The China they longed for in their hearts is back, no longer occupying half of the country but occupying the entire territory. The glorious China they longed for is once again standing on top of this world. The climax of the book is undoubtedly the Northern Expedition. The word Northern Expedition carries an innate sacred mission! Since Zhuge Liang, he has made six expeditions to Qishan, and Jiang Wei has made nine expeditions to the Central Plains. Zhuge Liang died of illness five feet away, how can the sky be so kind to me? Jiang Weichen and others are about to fight to the death. Why did your majesty surrender first? Xie Xun who heard the chicken dance, the constant temperature of the Northern Expedition, the golden horse and the iron horse, Liu Yu who swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger destroyed the five kingdoms and dethroned the six emperors. Who can rival the heroes of the world? The Northern Expedition still ended in failure. It's hard to calm down! The great wheel of history rolled by without mercy. It lasted for hundreds of years. Countless dynasties rose and fell in the Central Plains, regimes were established one after another, and emperors died one after another. History has come to the year 960 AD. Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao rebelled against each other and joined the Yellow Robe. He established the Northern Song Dynasty as the founding king. At this point, the Northern Expedition began, and the two Song Dynasties began again. For more than 300 years, countless influential figures interacted with each other, and the Northern Expedition fought many battles. The most inescapable thing is that Grandpa Yue Feiyue who traveled eight thousand miles to Yunheyue, and before he died, the sun was shining brightly, and the sun was shining brightly! The man who spent nearly ten years trying to conquer the Hanjia River in the Northern Expedition and leading the Yue Family Army of the Song Dynasty, who was invincible and victorious in every battle, finally died in the hands of the emperor and traitorous ministers under 12 consecutive gold medals. The Northern Expedition seems to be far away, almost a thousand years ago. Looking back, the Northern Expedition was a failure. Perhaps it should have succeeded once, at least once, to make the wish come true, and let the men of the Han family march north with 100,000 cavalry and cross the horse to show off their power over the grassland. Then Zhu Yuanzhang appeared. In the history of thousands of years, behind the only man who succeeded in the Northern Expedition was a man who was called a tyrant by countless scholars, who completed the wish of the ancestors. The Northern Expedition was successful and the world was unified! Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's life, it can be evaluated in two sentences. He was bound to hate evil as much as he wanted to. Looking at the first half of Zhu Yuanzhang's life, it was not only bumpy, it was extremely bumpy. I have seen the good and evil of people in the world, and I have also seen the ugliest side of human nature. Therefore, when Heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a person, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions, so tempting his mind and forbearance will benefit him beyond what he can do. He was born at a young age, between the rise of grass and temples, and established the last 276 years of glory for the Han Empire. Emperor Hongwu!

It's really well written, and Zhu Yuanzhang was so badly criticized that he easily blamed the hero for killing him. In all the powerful unified dynasties in the past, disobedient heroes would be killed. Qin Shihuang did not kill them because he was not the founding king. His ancestors killed the two biggest heroes, Shang Yang and Bai Qi. Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu, Zangcha, Chen Xi, etc. Of the Han Dynasty... Tang Zhi, Li Jiancheng, Liu Wenjing, Beiji, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji, Li Junxian, etc… Mingzhi, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu, Fu Youde, Zhu Liangzu, etc. The above are all the heroes killed by each dynasty. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the heroes, and the pure and dark novel Ming Yingzhuan is in the dark Xu Da, Chang Yuchun's son Chang Mao, Zhu Sheng, Tang He, Li Wenzhong, Mu Ying, Deng Yu, etc., And many more heroes died well. Many people also double-mark Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that in the Lan Yu case, tens of thousands of people were killed, which means that Zhu Yuanzhang killed the most heroes. They included all the soldiers and family members of Lan Yu's party as heroes. Then, let me ask about the three tribes of Yi, Han and Xin in the Han Dynasty, the three tribes of Pengyue, Yingbu, Zangcha, Chen Xi, etc. The army was wiped out together. Which time was it not tens of thousands? In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Liang and Li Junxian were killed for no reason, and Li Jiancheng was killed in the Xuanwumen coup. In which case did tens of thousands of people not die?

In Zhang Ximengxiu's History of the Song Dynasty, Su Shi was criticized as "politically useless" and "a complete mess", and even classified as a "Confucian scholar", directly regarded as a rotten scholar who knew nothing but writing articles. First of all, does this represent the author's point of view? If the author really thinks so, then I feel bad about it. In terms of high emotional intelligence, my evaluation is "questionable". Low emotional intelligence statement: "It is completely inconsistent with objective facts and is full of stereotypes and emotional words". This deliberate attempt to "overturn the verdict" is, at best, "unconventional, and the fact-checking needs to be improved"; at worst, it is "suspected of historical nihilism." Many readers have even been misled and agree with this. And when I put the hard facts in front of them, they are often speechless. Some even become ridiculous repeaters, trying to gain an advantage in the debate, but in the end they only make them laugh. How many of these misinformed readers are teenagers? I can't comment on this issue, but I think even one would be considered a big failure. Please don't think my words are harsh. I am also an old reader who has read several of the author's books. The results achieved by this book are also the best among the author's many books. Therefore, I hope that the author will not be influenced by emotional remarks and break through himself to write better and better books. I wonder if the author has ever been to West Lake in Hangzhou? I guess not. Anyone who goes there would never be able to write such an unfair evaluation of Su Shi. Before Su Shi came to Hangzhou, West Lake was basically a polder, and its flood and water storage functions were almost non-existent. Anyone who has studied geography in high school knows that this is a hotbed for floods and droughts. However, after Su Shi took office, he managed the West Lake well, dredged the bottom of the lake, and abolished the polders (many of which were occupied by powerful people, which shows how difficult this matter was). Every Chinese knows Santan Yingyue, unless this person has never used money since he was born. The three stone towers were built by Su Shi to indicate the depth of mud at the bottom of the lake. Sudi was also built with excavated silt. Moreover, Su Shi's dredging of the West Lake was quite cost-effective. It was built with the help of 100 ultimatums issued by the imperial court, and 200,000 migrant workers were recruited to work for relief. As long as you go to West Lake and find a tour guide, the above story can be told to you. As long as the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon and the Su Causeway exist for one day, Mr. Zhang will be slapped in the face with the objective facts! Su Shi not only controlled floods in Hangzhou, he also controlled floods in other places, but Hangzhou was the most famous. In 1077, when Su Shi became the magistrate of Xuzhou, he encountered a burst of the Yellow River only three months after taking office. The floods quickly reached the Xuzhou city. But when the wealthy people in the city fled the city in fear, Su Shi personally took charge and remained calm, not allowing people to leave the city. He organized the people of Xuzhou to fight the flood together, and finally achieved success. In Yingzhou, he was also trying his best to control the water. He stopped the unscientific excavation of the Bazhang ditch project to prevent the people from being harmed by floods. Dredging the Qinghe River and Yingzhou West Lake has made great contributions to Yingzhou's water conservancy. Even if he was demoted to Lingnan, he still contributed to the water conservancy project. First, he and a Taoist priest designed a system to divert mountain spring water into Huizhou. And now there is also a "Su Causeway" in Huizhou, which is also a water conservancy facility built by Su Shi in Huizhou. Because he was demoted here, he didn't even have access to the resources from the court, so he had to pay for it out of his own pocket. In 2019, the Ministry of Water Resources announced 12 historical water control celebrities, namely Dayu, Sun Shuao, Ximen Bao, Li Bing, Wang Jing, Ma Zhen, Jiang Shidu, Su Shi, Guo Shoujing, Pan Jixun, Lin Zexu, and Li Yizhi. Being able to be ranked alongside these people,Su Shi's ability to control floods has been recognized by ancient and modern people. The author's evaluation of Su Shi really has the feeling that "putting aside the facts, Su Shi is a worthless corrupt scholar"! In ancient times, officials who knew how to control water were all capable ministers and officials, and they could never be said to be mediocre. In this book, wasn't it because Jia Lu could manage the Yellow River that he was quickly accepted by the Ming Dynasty? When Zhang Ximeng criticizes Su Shi like this, what will Jia Lu and his disciples and grandchildren think? Is this the end of the rabbit and the end of the bird? In my opinion, the most fair evaluation method of Su Shi in the Zhang version of "History of the Song Dynasty" in this book should be like this, which is consistent with Zhang Xianggong's long-standing values: First of all, put Su Shi in the "Xunli" volume, and affirm Su Shi's local contributions. However, the reason why Su Shi could not be reused despite his talents and was repeatedly demoted was because in the Northern Song Dynasty, only those who could engage in political struggle could climb up the ranks. They believed that "there is no relationship between government affairs and doing practical things", so there were not enough promotion channels for capable officials at the upper levels. Then say, "My Ming Dynasty is not like this. A capable official like Jia Lu, even if he was an enemy before, must still be reused." This is correct. I can boldly guess what Mr. Zhang's disciples will do a hundred years from now. Since Zhang Xue is the official ideology of the Ming Dynasty, it cannot be wrong. In order to make Mr. Zhang always correct, they will choose to modify the reality and go to all the places where Su Shi served as an official to erase the traces that can prove Su Shi's achievements. For example, tearing up Su Shi's embankment, destroying Three Ponds Reflecting the Moon, and destroying all places where people commemorate Su Shi. Only in this way can we "prove" that Su Shi was indeed a "corrupt scholar who is good for nothing but writing articles"! I hope the author will not be swayed by some emotional remarks, so that he completely deviates from the facts and becomes the person who "puts aside the facts" he has always caricatured.

Why do some people always think that heroes should not be killed? Dragon slayers are very likely to turn into evil dragons, and arrogant generals are the ones most likely to turn into evil dragons. They all feel that they are privileged because they are heroes, and they will not be punished for breaking the law. However, they drink from the golden cup together and show no mercy. Merits and prestige are usually talismans, but when they threaten their rule, they become life-threatening talismans. Revolution is not the end of a great cause.

A common problem in male videos is that the female protagonist is a cancer, and the male protagonist and the female protagonist instantly become mentally retarded. Let's delete the heroine!

After reading the 176th chapter of the imperial examination, I started to get very toxic. I couldn't bear to see the father's kindness and son's filial piety... It's a pity that the author wanted to throw private goods in but had no vision at all. It was a bit ridiculous to sit in a well and look at the sky 😒

Author's current chapter. . It can only be said that the author has his own views on the operation of society, but it is difficult to justify it before it is stable and suitable for the colonial system in the post-feudal era. First of all, the most criticized issue is the equality between men and women. In fact, it is too stretched to the extreme. For male feudalism, this is a fantasy that goes against the times; for male progress, this is a blind move that goes against the development of productive forces; for little fairies, this deprives them of the possibility of getting something for nothing; for progressive women's rights, this is a charity from superior male exploiters. No matter which angle you think about it, you deserve the beating. Then there is the vassal system. The vassal system itself was perfected and tried to be carried forward by the Ming Dynasty. Now we are trying to replace it with a colonial system but it cannot operate stably. Even in the latest chapter, the method of digging holes and setting up traps without teaching is used, which is incredibly blind. To put it bluntly, the digestion of the Korean Peninsula can be realized naturally under the operation of the protagonist in a hundred years. It is unwise to have to resist such a huge burden in advance. Finally, there is the new system implemented by the protagonist. I originally thought it could be done very well, and I also thought it was very good. However, it turned out that the overbearing style was copied intact from British colonialism? Do all overseas vassals clearly insist on engaging in this kind of exploitation? No matter how bad it is, you can still learn from what France does. It can only be said that the core protagonist's thoughts in the article are indeed limited by the author's ideas. It would be a waste of points to blindly and unwisely perform a set of external operations in the later stage.

I saw a hypothesis on the Internet: If my mother is Wu Zetian, my uncle Zhu Di, Prime Minister Yang Jian icon, General Zhao Kuangyin, the eunuch is Zhao Gao, and my brother is Li Shimin. How to revitalize the overall situation? The following is the most interesting reply from netizens: As long as you are not too stupid, your mother will support you. As long as you don't think about killing him every day, your uncle will be a good uncle. As long as the above two are present, the prime minister, generals and eunuchs are all loyal ministers who can be relied on. If so, the power will most likely be in your hands. Then there is a high probability that your brother did not have a group of people from Admiral Tiance's Mansion to support him in rebellion every day, so what is this? This is a fairy brother with incredible abilities! Hurry up and seal yourself as the Iron Hat King. Of course, the premise of everything is that you don't be too SB, this will be too difficult. You will find that your mother controls you every day, and does not let you eat melons or raise chickens. A group of people say that your uncle is domineering every day, saying that the border gates only know that there is King Yan but not the emperor, and that the vassal kings in various places are really planning to rebel. Prime ministers and generals often try to win people's hearts. The eunuch around you asks you to take over power and dictatorship as soon as possible every day. Your brother may secretly tell you every day that if you give him tens of thousands of people, he will reduce the vassal status for you, and this is really good for the country. Do you feel that the country is in turmoil? In danger? That's right! Being an emperor is a tightrope walk. Those emperors who were usurped were not fools, and some were even very smart. Then what is not stupid? Be honest and filial to your mother, and ask for advice sooner or later if you have any questions. Maybe when you are 30 years old, you still cannot give good treatment to those who followed you in the early years. You are treated like a child every day, and your life is very frustrating. But you have learned to engage in politics and gained the reputation of filial piety. Your brother's attitude towards you may also become dead-set. Cut down the vassal slowly and gently, and don't be too harsh on your relatives, but then the civil servants will scold you every day for not knowing right from wrong, and the people who were abused by the royal family will create rumors about you in the society, saying that you and the noble concubine play around every day. The ministers should be given clear rewards and punishments, and they should know how to make good use of people. The premise is that you have an intelligence system that you can trust very much. The result is that the politics are very clear, but everyone says you are a tyrant. No one is afraid of you and no one disrespects you. Your own wife and children also think you are cold-blooded and only want to please you or stay away from you. Well, you are now a great Mingjun who will be praised in future generations. Can I come and see how you live your life? Since you became the emperor, you have lived humbly in the shadow of your wise and powerful mother for the first half of your life. Most of the ministers don't care about you. When something happens, they want to know what the Queen Mother thinks. Only your brother and your close ministers will often look at you and accompany you. Of course, there are also many times where you don't know whether he is loyal to you or your mother. Wait a hundred years after your mother, you may be over 40 years old. Some of your close friends were killed by you because they had been suppressed for too many years and acted arbitrarily after gaining power. Everyone praised you, but you no longer have friends. Your smart brother, looking at his grown-up nephew, asked himself to guard the border. He has not seen him for several years. You don't dare to completely believe the prime minister and the general. They are also very afraid of you because you once randomly took out a card that he couldn't find in the card game last night and gave it to him. They often lament to outsiders that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. Your uncle is retiring in the capital, but he resents you for depriving him of his title and finds something to disgust you from time to time. Your own son, in order to prevent him from thinking about things he shouldn't think about, you killed batch after batch of friends around him. Do you like this kind of life? You may be a good emperor, but you feel like you are not even a human being. Until one day, you were lying in bed, and your brother came all the way back to see you off for the last time. Your son was crying beside you. You looked at your newly promoted talent kneeling below, and then at the smart wife you married at the request of your mother. You feel like your son is going through your life all over again. But you are free. In this way, you have lived your life as an ordinary wise king. Looking back on the past, you feel that the happiest time in your life and the only time you can control your own time are only the vague short days before you ascend the throne.

It is certain that Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials, but it is not certain that he loved the people more. Everything he did was to maintain his rule. There were quite a few peasant uprisings during his reign, haha. Let the author write like a saint, funny.
