Which of the ducal families of the Ming Dynasty was the strongest?

There are many people who may think of the six dukes who founded the Ming Dynasty.

Lee Sun-chang, the Korean Gong;

Wei Guogong Xu Da;

Cao Guogong and Li Wenzhong;

Feng Sheng, Duke of Song;

Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo;

Zheng Guogong Changmao (son of Chang Yuchun).

Or add a few famous generals later.

Shin Ko Ko Tang He;

Yingguo Gong Fu Youde;

Liangguo Gong Blue Jade.

Actually, no, these dukes really stayed in the last years of Hongwu, and the descendants are not straw bags of the Xu Da family of Wei State.

However, immediately afterwards, the mountains and rivers are changeable, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, ascended the throne, this Zhu Laosi is equivalent to beating the country again, and his team is of course also treated like a founding hero, and Zhu Laosi treats heroes well, far more than his father Zhu Chongba, so the status of the princes of Jingnan, that is, the princes of Yongle, in the Ming Dynasty is far better than the princes of Hongwu.

Yongle was the beginning of the beginning, and the four princes were sealed.

Qi Guogong Qiu Fu;

Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng;

Zhang Yu, Rongguo Gong;

Jing Guogong Chen Heng.

Among them, Zhang Yu and Chen Heng were posthumously sealed after they died in battle, and at that time, the most noble ones were Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng.

However, the world is unpredictable, and soon Qiu Fu was defeated and died, and Zhu Neng died of illness on the journey.

At this time, Zhang Fu, the son of Zhang Yu, the Duke of Rongguo, was born, Ping'an South, conquered Mobei, and became the first general of the Yongle Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was very happy, and crowned Zhang Fu as the British Duke, since then the British family has become the most powerful nobles in the Ming Dynasty, passed on the ninth generation, until the death of the Ming Dynasty, the last British Duke Zhang Shize was killed by Li Zicheng's army.

In fact, the reason why the British family has been able to survive for nine generations and more than 200 years is not only because of Zhang Fu's military exploits, but also because they do not take credit for themselves, are loyal to the royal family, and never interfere in court politics.

This generation of British Gong Zhang Weixian is the same, let your Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party fight for power and profit, fight to the death, the emperor does not speak, he never intervenes, but honestly manages the Beijing camp and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, silently guarding the safety of the capital.

However, if the descendants of the generals under Zhang Fu in the past have something to ask for, the British government will not stand idly by, as long as you politely go to pay respects, they will help.

Of course, this help is not like Wei Zhongxian, any garbage and scum are pushed up, the British government will not interfere with the normal operation of the imperial court, if you want to take the position, you must rely on real skills, the British government only guarantees that you can get the opportunity to compete fairly.

Like Zhang Bin, the last two times were begging for the British government.

For the first time, he paid five hundred taels of filial piety, and the British government greeted him, and in the imperial examination, no one dared to brush him down inexplicably.

The second time, it was also a filial piety of five hundred taels, and the British government said hello again, and the officials quickly arranged for him to be vacant of a county order, otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have to wait to be on the top line.

Like Sun Chuanting, I don't know what he has honored, anyway, from the title of the gold list, to the county order, to the promotion to the head of the ministry, the ministry Langzhong, the whole journey was very smooth, and no one messed with his ghosts.

This time, after Zhang Bin came out of the ministry, he came to the British Mansion in Dashi Yongfang, ran to the gatehouse in person, handed over the famous thorn, and put on a thousand taels of silver.

This means that he is preparing to visit the British Duke and ask for something.

In fact, this is a process, the British government will not come forward to meet him, but will only send a steward to ask him if there is anything to ask for, if it is not against the principle, the British government will send someone to greet him.

On the first two occasions, after the thorn and the silver were handed over, the British government sent a steward to ask him what he wanted.

He told the steward, and then, the title of the gold list, and the appointment of the county magistrate went smoothly.

This time, he thought it was still a steward to ask, and then he just went back and waited for news.

But he never thought that the steward was one who came out, but he didn't ask him any questions, but said directly: "Master Zhang, Grandpa Guo happens to be free, and his old man will let you go in and see him." ”

This meeting can't be simply understood as a meeting, he has also been a boss, so he naturally knows that the boss generally does not talk to people below, and if he talks to someone, there must be a reason.

Either someone sues you, and he wants to educate you well.

Either that, he thinks you're a talented person and is ready to be promoted.

Someone complained, naturally impossible, he didn't have anything worth suing to the British duke, Zhang Bin guessed, it was probably because the British duke wanted to promote him.

No wonder Sun Chuanting said that his future is limitless, and it seems that the British public should be concerned about himself.

Zhang Bin was so excited in his heart, he knew the transcendence of the British public status, although he did not interfere in the government, but his words still carried a lot of weight, as long as he had the ability, he was not afraid that he would not be able to get ahead.

With great excitement, he walked after the steward for about two quarters of an hour, and at last came to a large hall.

The steward did not go in, but made a gesture of invitation to him.

It seemed that the British Duke was inside, Zhang Bin tidied up his clothes and walked in respectfully.

I saw that facing the door, an old man in his sixties was sitting majestically on the Taishi chair, looking at him carefully.

He hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Senior Zhang Bin, meet Grandpa Guo." ”

The British Duke nodded and said kindly: "Get up, sit, you're welcome." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bin slowly got up from the ground and sat respectfully on the chair beside him.

The British Duke looked at him carefully for a while, and then he opened his mouth and praised: "Well, sure enough, you are a talent, you are Zhang Jisheng's descendant?" ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly nodded and said, "Grandpa Guoguo, exactly." ”

The British Duke sighed: "Alas, there are fewer and fewer descendants of the generals under the ancestors, young man, you are very good." ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly said modestly: "I don't dare to praise the grandfather of the country like this." ”

The British Duke nodded and said with satisfaction: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Bin took a breath and plucked up his courage to say: "Returning to China, my subordinates want to enter the military department or the metropolitan procuratorate." ”

When the British public heard this, he frowned and sighed: "Alas, the Metropolitan Procuratorate doesn't have to think about it, they are fighting very hard, they are all about to use the knife, the military department is only slightly better, but it is also very intense, my father's words may not work, if you want to find a state capital or a general judgment or something, it is not difficult." ”

Zhang Bin chuckled in his heart, it's troublesome, the British duke is not sure, I'm afraid it will be difficult for this military department to get in, but if you don't go in, how can you compete for the governor after three years, the qualifications are not enough, and it's useless to blow the sky!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Please also ask Grandpa Guo to fulfill it." ”

When the British public heard this, he thought about it and suddenly asked: "What should I do if I am besieging the thieves today, if the thieves are prosperous, and I have few thieves, or the places around me are scattered, and my troops are not enough?" ”

This is the art of war test, or the easiest school test, Zhang Bin knows, this is a paragraph in the eighth volume of the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", the British Duke wanted to see if he was familiar with the book of soldiers, he hurriedly replied: "If my soldiers are not enough to defend it, there will be a lack of a way to survive, and the division of troops will be hidden on the road ten miles away." ”

The British duke nodded in appreciation: "Okay, this duke pulls down this old face and tries it." ”

With that, he picked up the teacup on the coffee table, blew on it, and then put it back down.

This is the meaning of serving tea to the guests, Zhang Bin hurriedly stood up, bowed and said: "Thank you for the grace of Grandpa Guo, the younger generation will retire." ”
