The Ming Dynasty in the thirty-first year of Hongwu is like a young and high-spirited teenager, full of vitality in all aspects.

Emperor Taizu Gao left Zhu Yunwen a large empire with an area of nearly 8.5 million square kilometers, a population of more than 60 million, and an annual tax of 30 million taels.

Due to the in-kind tax implemented in the Ming Dynasty, there was not much tax silver in the warehouse, but there were mountains of grain and silk, which was the confidence of the Hongwu Dynasty to raise nearly one million soldiers while setting up guards throughout the country.

350,000 in Beijing, 210,000 in Jiubian, 60,000 in Gansu, 100,000 in Minzhejiang and 150,000 in Yunnan, this is the combined number of the military department and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies after counting the military register.

As for the guards in those places, they are not included in the statistics, the number is even larger, I am afraid that there are nearly two million, but these guards do not eat the imperial grain, and their main task is to farm, and Dingtian is considered a militia, which is not in Zhu Yunwen's attention.

As for the political field of the Ming Dynasty, it is well known to later generations that there are two capitals and thirteen provinces, that is, two capitals in the north and south, and thirteen political envoys.

But in the Hongwu Dynasty, there is no two capitals and thirteen provinces, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing Road, that is, Nanjing in later generations, changed Jiqing Road to Ying Tianfu, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, should be called Nan Zhili under the rule of Tianfu, and the place of governance is called Jingshi, also called Jinling.

The Northern Expedition was against the Yuan, most of the capital was recovered, and most of the capital was changed to Shuntian, and the rule of Shuntianfu was called Beizhili.

And the title of Beijing was thrown by Zhu Yuanzhang on the head of Kaifeng, Henan.

Later, in the eleventh year of Hongwu, the title of Kaifeng Beijing was dismissed, and it was given to the head of Shuntian, and since then, for hundreds of years, it is the capital of the later generations that we are familiar with, Beijing City.

Zhu Di rebelled, moved the capital to Beijing, with Jinling as the accompanying capital, but in the process of building the Beijing Imperial Palace, there was a mistake, the Beijing Imperial Palace is the Forbidden City of later generations, the blueprint for the construction is the Jinling Ming Palace, when the three major halls were built, namely Fengtian, Huagai, and the three halls of Jinshen, were split by thunder.

The three halls were burned down, so Zhu Di thought it was the wrath of heaven and the punishment imposed by Zhu Yuanzhang who was angry at his rebellion, so he issued a holy decree, still taking Jinling as the capital, renamed Nanjing, and Beijing was still the capital and the place where he walked.

Since then, two of the 13 provinces in the two capitals have been considered neat.

But Zhu Di has lived in Beijing for a long time, the ministers of civil and military affairs are all in Beijing, and Nanjing, the capital, is an empty shell, what is this called?

So, Zhu Di asked Nanjing to re-establish a set of government teams, what Beijing has, Nanjing has, what six departments, five mansions, Jinyi Wei, all live.

So later, we often saw in TV dramas, why there were two Shangshu in a ministry in the Ming Dynasty, and one of them was from Nanjing.

Later, Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne, Zhu Gaochi didn't like Beijing, because he grew up in Nanjing, and he preferred Jiangnan, so he planned to go back to Nanjing with the imperial court, and let the prince, that is, Zhu Zhanji, go to Nanjing to repair the palace.

Unlike his father, Zhu Zhanji grew up in Beijing, so he had the idea of changing the capital to Beijing, otherwise, people should say that the three generations of the Zhu family are staying in the city and not returning to the capital, what is this called?

But when the capital was moved back to Beijing, the three major halls had to be repaired, but it was also strange that the three major halls were struck by lightning as soon as they were repaired, and they were struck by lightning as soon as they were repaired. ”

If there is an official who is not afraid of death, he will talk about Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, has you forgotten that Emperor Taizongwen tampered with history?" ”

It turned out that after Zhu Di became the emperor, he was worried that future generations would say that he rebelled, so he deliberately erased this period of history, so he merged the fourth year of Jianwen into the Hongwu year, and the fourth year of the reconstruction of Wen was the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu.

But who is the historian? Those are all iron-clad men, "History must not be tampered with!" ”

Zhu Di was furious, "You want to learn from Fang Xiaoru, please punish the ten clans?" ”

The historian is also tough, not to mention the ten clans, a hundred clans are fine, history just doesn't change.

Zhu Di didn't dare to kill the historian indiscriminately, and it must be unknown if he killed the historian indiscriminately. But Zhu Di still drove this group of historians back to his hometown, and found a group of henchmen to compile history, saying that he was the orthodox successor, and he would inherit the throne as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang died.

Zhu Zhanji figured it out, so he changed history back, saying that Zhu Yunwen was the orthodox emperor, and Zhu Di was indeed a rebel and rebelled against the world.

As soon as the history was changed, the three major halls began to be repaired one after another, this time it was not struck by lightning, but it was not repaired, Zhu Zhanji also hiccuped, and after his son Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, the temple was completed, and from that moment on, Beijing was regarded as the orthodox capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The mess of the old Zhu family also directly led to the history of the Ming Dynasty causing different opinions in later generations, coupled with a bunch of traitors and Manchu students to arrange and smear them, so that the Ming Dynasty always made people feel like they were looking at flowers in the fog.

It's like what the Ming Dynasty should call the emperor, long live? Emperor? Your Majesty?

As everyone knows. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, it was for the Qing Dynasty, and later generations had a pathological enthusiasm for the filming of Qing court dramas, so that people gradually had the illusion that the emperor was the exclusive title of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty started in Tunguska, their initial leader was called Khan, which is basic common sense, and later the founding of the country, everything in the court was blank for them, so everything in the Ming Dynasty was copied from the past, and even everyone may not know, even the original General Intelligence Bureau was called Jinyiwei at the beginning.

The title of the emperor became the main title in the Ming Dynasty, and in ancient times, the people mostly set up immortal tablets for the emperor at home, and the tablet was written as "Long live the emperor today".

Since it is prosperous in Ming, this title is not a taboo word, why can't it be mentioned?

This is because of the Qing court dramas that filled the streets in later generations, as soon as the emperor was mentioned, he thought of Tunguska, so he felt disgusted in his heart, why did they use it more often, and this title belonged to them?

It's like the stick shouting that Confucius is theirs every day, is it possible that one day in a Korean drama, a group of stick readers kowtow to the Confucian saint, and we will give Confucius to them from now on?

Overkill.

Not to mention the history of the Ming Dynasty and the history of the wild written by the Tungusic scholars such as Zhang Tingyu and Cai Dongfan in later generations, in the Ming Shilu, the emperor is called the emperor, which has a source.

The Confucian scholar Shen Shirong slapped Zhu Yuanzhang's sycophants, and used this word many times: "The emperor has conquered the world with martial arts, saved the people from fire and water, laid the four seas in the safety of the pillow, and drove Di to restore the middle summer." ”

In the officialdom, Qin Tianjian once had a notebook, in which there was such a sentence: "Since the emperor carried it, although it has been in the name of unification." ”

The Ming Shilu was compiled by Xie Jin and others in the Ming Dynasty to fully explain that there is indeed a source for calling the emperor the emperor.

The reason why everyone has a lot of disputes in the history of the Ming Dynasty is because the affairs of the old Zhu family are too chaotic.

Zhu Yunwen's cognition of the Ming Dynasty in his mind was only superficial when he watched so many pieces of music from all over the world for more than three months.

Really, Da Ming in the fog.
