A brief story about Chapter 6: Li Teh led the rebel army to attack Chengdu and was defeated and died, and his son Li Xiong conquered Chengdu and established the Cheng Han regime

。

In fact, the process of the founding of the Cheng Han Dynasty is quite complicated, and I only write about Li Xiong's conquest of Chengdu in the story, which aims to show that Li Xiong, the lord of the Cheng Han Dynasty, is much higher than his father Li Teh in terms of military ability, but the country of Cheng Han is based on Li Te's uprising.

In feudal society, there are really few cases of successful seizure of power through peasant uprisings, and peasant uprisings are often unable to become or integrate into the ruling class at that time because of the limitations of the peasant class, and eventually when they are about to become famous, a series of problems will arise, which will lead to the failure of the uprising, or the theft of the results of the uprising.

After thinking about it, I feel that the more successful peasant uprising is Zhu Yuanzhang, who established the Ming Dynasty. Although Liu Bang was also born in the peasant class, he still has some assets and status after all, he was born in the Surabaya Pavilion during the uprising, and he can be regarded as a local small cadre, while Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a thoroughly poor peasant, he was a monk, he had to eat, and he had no capital to use. Next, let's talk about the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, as a monk of Huayuan, in order to make a living, took refuge in Guo Zixing's army of the Red Turban Rebel Army as a soldier, because Zhu Yuanzhang begged all the way, broad-minded, and when he was young, he had studied private school for two years, and he was quite a bit of culture, so he was a personal soldier by Guo Zixing's side, because of his flexible brain, he won Guo Zixing's trust, so after Guo Zixing's death, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually became the leader of the rebel army, but the peasant army he led was still relatively weak, Zhu Yuanzhang began to recruit Confucian students, develop his own strength, So that he quickly integrated into the Shu landlord class.

After the rebel army defeated the main army of the Yuan Dynasty, the rebel army led by Zhu Yuanzhang stood out in the wave of the Red Turban Army uprising across the country and became a force to be reckoned with. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, understood the suffering of the people, and created the rule of Hongwu.

After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, because of the early death of his prince Zhu Biao, he set up his grandson Zhu Yunwen as the emperor, which is the very mysterious Jianwen Emperor in history, but Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Di guarded Beijing, and was not satisfied with being a vassal under his nephew, and because Emperor Jianwen in view of the excessive strength of the vassal king, threatened the imperial power, and began to cut the domain, Zhu Di used this as an excuse to launch the Battle of Jingyan, after four years of war, finally ascended to the emperor's throne, and Emperor Jianwen was also missing, becoming an unsolved case for the ages.

Speaking of which, what I want to say is that at the beginning of each dynasty, there is a shadow of the aristocratic landlord class, but the mainstream ruling class is not them, because once the dynasty is stabilized, the ruler is well aware of the threat of the aristocratic landlord class to the imperial power, so after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties are constantly trying to weaken the aristocratic landlord class, Zhu Di's successful usurpation does not mean that the aristocratic landlord class regained power, because after Zhu Di usurped the throne from the vassal king, he spared no effort to weaken the power of the vassal king, so that the royal family is in a state of captivity. The Ming and Qing dynasties were extremely strict in the control of the royal family, the Ming Dynasty imprisoned the prince with the same surname in the field, and the Qing Dynasty imprisoned the kings of the clan in the capital, and the prince of the Qing Dynasty was by no means as free as the modern Qing court drama, so in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the aristocratic landlord class completely lost the capital to become the ruling class.

After Zhu Di became the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, he was the famous Yongle Emperor in later generations, in order to put an end to the invasion of the nomadic Mongols on the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Beijing, and stationed the border of the country with the respect of the Son of Heaven, which greatly strengthened the control of the Central Plains Dynasty over the Mongolian Plateau. Of course, there are many feats made by the Yongle Emperor, not listed here, here is a special point, that is, the Ming Dynasty is definitely not as some scholars say, is a dark dynasty, in the Han Shu landlord class as the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty, must be the interests of the Han people in the feudal society to the maximum, although the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty have come out in large numbers, but the same cabinet composed of the children of the Han Dynasty, still makes the Ming Dynasty operate in a normal state, Moreover, the frequent peasant uprisings caused by land annexation were a common problem of the feudal dynasties in previous dynasties, and the contribution of the Ming Dynasty to history cannot be completely negated on this basis.

The rulers of the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Di, Ming Renzong and Ming Xuanzong, can be said to have done their best for the governance of the country, so that the early period of the Ming Dynasty's reign also reached the strong state that the feudal dynasty should have, known as the rule of Renxuan. However, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there would still be a stage of decline peculiar to feudal dynasties.

When Ming Yingzong, the son of Ming Xuanzong, the Ming Dynasty was unfavorable because of the unfavorable battle with the Mongolian army, which led to the Tumubao Change, and Ming Yingzong was captured, although the Shu landlord class in the court supported Ming Yingzong's younger brother Ming Yingzong succeeded to the throne, and successfully led the defense of Beijing, defeated the invading Mongolian army, and welcomed back the captured Ming Yingzong, but in the face of the temporary succession of Ming Dynasty, the two brothers inevitably carried out a struggle for imperial power, Ming Yingzong won the victory of the change of the door, and re-ascended the throne, The internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty came to an end temporarily, but the entire dynasty also began to decline.

After the death of Ming Yingzong, his son Ming Xianzong succeeded to the throne, because of the ups and downs of his father's status, Ming Xianzong often relied on the palace maid Wan in his childhood, although after his succession, there were also some measures to govern the country, but because of the inappropriate love with Wan and the belief in eunuchs, and the belief in magic, Ming Xianzong finally entered the ranks of faint monarchs

Because Wan's hand on the harem covers the sky, Ming Xianzong has never been able to get a son, but the tiger also has a nap, when the palace maid surnamed Ji risked death to give birth to a son for the emperor and secretly raised in the palace for six years, Wan only realized that in the case of seeking an opportunity to poison the prince failed, Wan's melancholy died, Ming Xianzong also because of his attachment to Wan's and drove the crane west, this prince succeeded to the throne is Ming Xiaozong, Ming Xiaozong was born in distress, so the ruling is based on the concept of good deeds, although there is no vigorous merit, but it is diligent and generous, The Ming Dynasty reappeared in the prosperous era, known as Hongzhi Zhongxing, and Ming Xiaozong was born in the cold palace, knowing that the harem is sinister, is the only one in Chinese history with only one queen, no concubine emperor, but unfortunately, this emotional single-minded emperor died young because of the treacherous environment of his childhood, frail and sick, and diligent in political affairs.

Then succeeded to the throne of Ming Wuzong young and fun, built a leopard house, enjoyed it all day long, ignored the national politics, ended the prosperity of Hongzhi Zhongxing, but under the dominance of the Shu landlord class, the Ming Dynasty still maintained a relatively stable situation, the playful Ming Wuzong because of boating and fun, accidentally fell into the water, and died of illness in the leopard room. Because they had no heirs, the landlord class of the Shu nationality followed the law of etiquette and supported the nearest Xingxian king, Zhu Houxi, to succeed him, who was the Jiajing Emperor.

Emperor Jiajing half a lifetime of wisdom and half a lifetime of confusion, complex nature, although in the early stage of his reign to eliminate the evils, but also briefly pushed the Ming Dynasty to prosperity, and there was a germ of capitalism, but in the second half of his life because of the great etiquette dispute, the Shu landlord class swore to the death to maintain the ban on etiquette and resentment, simply alchemy and immortal no longer go to the court, so that the government was controlled by the traitor Yan Song, the Ming Dynasty was in a mess, the Qing official Hai Rui criticized Emperor Jiajing: "Jiajing, Jiajing, the family is clean!" "With Emperor Jiajing taking a large amount of pills, he finally ascended to immortality.

His son Emperor Longqing succeeded to the throne, and with Zhang Juzheng to carry out reforms, known as the Longqing New Deal, but there is a father must have his son, Emperor Jiajing likes pills, Emperor Longqing is addicted to aphrodisiacs, just a few years to become a ghost, but its opening of customs, for us to introduce corn, sweet potatoes to feed the hundreds of millions of people in later generations, for our country to become a populous country to lay the foundation.

Wanli Emperor inherited his father's will, reused Zhang Juzheng's reform, although in the early stage of his reign took some results, but after Zhang Juzheng died of illness, Wanli Emperor favored Zheng Guifei, worried about political affairs, the Ming Dynasty court party struggle intensified, and because of the country's dispute, Wanli Emperor and the Shu landlord class were incompatible, but in the end Wanli Emperor had to compromise, although there was unwillingness to attack the case, but still set up the eldest son as the prince, and because of the Wanli Emperor's three major campaigns, greatly consumed the strength of the Ming Dynasty, even if he consolidated his rule, However, the Ming Dynasty also went into decline, the history records that the Jiaqing Emperor did not go to court for several years, did not take care of political affairs, but its tomb was excavated, archaeological experts found that its remains had a lesion in the leg, I am afraid that it has not been in court for many years for another reason.

Emperor Wanli after the Ming Guangzong succeeded to the throne less than a month, in the continuation of the national dispute in the red pill case, his son Emperor Tianqi succeeded to the throne, is the famous carpenter emperor, all day long ignoring the government, has been a carpenter for fun, the power of the court is in the hands of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the court on the Shu landlord class also for the control of power and the party struggle, so that the entire Ming Dynasty began to enter the abyss of no return. You must know that it is not accidental that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was obsessed with carpenter's work, because in the late Ming Dynasty, planers were introduced into our country from overseas, which made the workmanship of furniture begin to be excellent, and because of the change in the way of living of the people, there was an urgent need for furniture improvement, and the feudal dynasty naturally had to comply with public opinion. But the Emperor of the Apocalypse as the ruler can vigorously promote the revolution of furniture, but he is addicted to it, which is really ridiculous, fortunately, God took away this genius carpenter as soon as possible, but the Chongzhen Emperor supported by the Shu landlord class, although there is a side of its virtuous name, but the Chongzhen Emperor's self-righteous personality finally made the Ming Dynasty completely destroyed.

The evaluation of Emperor Chongzhen in the history books is relatively high, but I think that as the ruler of the feudal dynasty, although he is diligent in political affairs, but his employment is suspicious, and the way of governing is divorced from the fundamental interests of the Shu landlord class, when Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, the Shu landlord class was extremely disappointed in it, and he could only hang the Chongzhen Emperor on the white silk of the peasant uprising, and re-choose a new ruler, but unfortunately Li Zicheng, who was born in a poor peasant, retaliated more strongly against the Shu landlord class, so its defeat in Shanhaiguan was inevitable, The rulers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty saw the strength of the Shu landlord class, and willingly broke away from the aristocratic landlord class and eagerly moved closer to the Shu landlord class.

The Ming Dynasty was successfully established as a peasant uprising, and successfully gained power because it relied on the Shu landlord class, but it also finally perished because it broke away from the Shu landlord class, which shows how powerful the control of the dynasty was by the Shu landlord class after the Sui and Tang dynasties as the ruling class.

Li Te, Li Xiong father and son are all Di people, must belong to the children of the Han family, the country of the Han Dynasty created, although only a corner of Shu land, but from the country of the Han Dynasty can also be seen, the Hanmen Shu people's desire and efforts to become the ruling class, but because of the strength of the Shi landlord class, the country of the Han Dynasty can only survive in the gap between the Shi landlord class and the aristocratic landlord class, and for the rule of the Cheng Han Dynasty, it is necessary to rely on the Han Shu clan and also rely on the family, it can be seen that The troubled times of the Sixteen Kingdoms were the formative period of the Shu landlord class.
