The Zhu family's food was quickly eaten up, the family began to starve, his parents starved to death, except for the elder brother who was in the door and the sister who got married, only he and the second brother were left in the family. When my parents are dead, but I don't even have a place to bury them, can the worst situation in my life be worse than this?

Later, everyone knew that with the help of the kind-hearted fellow villager Liu Jizu, he and the second brother finally buried their parents, and then the second brother left him and fled separately.

There is no way, Zhu Yuanzhang can only be a monk in Huangjue Temple, hoping to eat together, but the problem is that the monks in the temple are not the monks who are shown on TV, they are also a group of secular people, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.

The young Zhu Yuanzhang stayed there for a while, doing rough work all day long, and was bullied by them a lot. But he is a strong person, is a motivated person, in the days in the Huangjue Temple, he did not eat all day and wait for death, but used the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Huangjue Temple, began to study hard, self-taught, and had a certain cultural foundation.

This foundation helped him a lot later.

Three years later, there was no food in the temple, so he could only go to Huayuan, to put it bluntly, to ask for food. During the three-year begging for food, Zhu Yuanzhang traveled to many places and met many heroes and heroes, and in the final analysis, he was also a group of people who asked for food.

Although this experience is rarely mentioned in the history books, the author believes that it will be very helpful for his future growth. Because the White Lotus Sect was prevalent at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang must have been in contact with the White Lotus Sect when he asked for food.

You must know that the heads and brains in the White Lotus Sect at that time, like the helmsman and the incense master, were definitely not staged on TV, all of them were brightly dressed, there were groups of slaves, and they looked like successful people, in the final analysis, they were all called Hanako.

Who is rich and powerful, who is going to hang out with cults all day long, thinking about rebellion and changing the status quo all day long?

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang must have had contact with these martial arts masters in his three-year career, stealing a chicken with Lord Chen Helm today, touching a dog with Lord Wei Xiang tomorrow, and by the way, taking a look at the widow in the east of the village taking a bath, and thus forming a friendship with the rivers and lakes behind him.

If Zhu Yuanzhang's personal connections saved in the past three years were not worth it in the peaceful and prosperous times, but if they were put in the troubled times, it would be two words.

We all know that Zhu Yuanzhang later defected to Guo Zixing's troops, according to the records in the history books, Guo Zixing hit Zhu Yuanzhang at first sight, not only promoted him to be the commander of the ten, but also married his goddaughter to him.

According to the general point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Zixing's wife, felt that this person was not ordinary, and called him a strange person, so he cultivated him a lot.

This kind of record is used by most people in power to add mystery to themselves after coming up, and Guo Zixing's wife is not in the past, how can he think that he can achieve great things when he sees Zhu Yuanzhang, a beggar?

In fact, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to quickly attract Guo Zixing's attention, and then rely on his attention to achieve great things, was because of two very practical reasons. The first is that he is literate, although he is coarse and literate, when he was already rare in the rebel army at that time, leaving him as a personal soldier can at least deal with copywriting matters.

The second is the connections he has saved for three years, you must know that in the anti-Yuan rebels at that time, Guo Zixing was just a small person, at best a third-tier figure. The first-line characters are Liu Futong and Xu Shouhui, and the second-line characters are Sesame Li, Zhang Shicheng, Peng Da, Zhao Junyong, and Guo Zixing are not ranked at all.

Whether it is a world or a troubled world, the most effective way to develop yourself quickly is not to work hard, but to hug your thighs. At that time, Guo Zixing wanted to hug his thighs, except for Zhang Shicheng, the big heads mentioned above basically believed in the White Lotus Sect, so if you want to have a relationship with them, you must first have a relationship with the White Lotus Sect, but Guo Zixing himself does not believe in the White Lotus Sect, he is from a large family, and there is no need to join the cult of anti-government and government, so he can't climb the high branches of other people.

So at this time, the connections that Zhu Yuanzhang saved when he asked for food played a role, as soon as I said that I had stolen chickens with Lord Chen and touched dogs with Lord Wei Xiang, then Guo Zixing had to weigh it, with Zhu Yuanzhang as an acquaintance, it would be easy for him to catch the line of the White Lotus Sect.

So he promoted him to be the commander of the ten soldiers, and later married his goddaughter to him. Note that it is a goddaughter, although there is only a word difference between a goddaughter and a daughter, but the difference between it is known to those who have had children.

And Zhu Yuanzhang lived up to expectations after getting this opportunity, and quickly won Guo Zixing's appreciation with his excellent business ability, specifically killing people, kidnapping tickets, extorting food, and arresting strong men.

As for how Zhu Yuanzhang established his prestige in Guo Zixing's army, it is actually similar to the current gangsters in the underworld, that is, two points - cutting people and drinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very interesting, or he is very tolerant, he rushes fiercely when he fights, retreats last when he retreats, and when he wins the battle, he says that he has a good command of the leader, and when he gets the reward, he will distribute it to his brothers, so he has established his prestige little by little.

When drinking with his brothers, he was also very practical, and gradually the brothers felt that he was very interesting and bold, and they were willing to be close to him.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige was all shot with a knife, and he was bought by escaping death many times, and his friendship with his friends was all drunk from a bowl of wine, and they were all saved little by little. It's not easy, it's really not easy.

As for what the book says, those people feel that Zhu Yuanzhang is not ordinary when they see him, so they are willing to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers to him, that is pure nonsense, will those big old and rough people still meet?

When they followed Zhu Yuanzhang, they probably didn't expect this person to be the emperor in the future, but they didn't have any other place to go for the time being, so they stayed because they thought this person was not bad, who knew that they could get mixed with the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's first pot of gold, as for the later much smoother, after occupying Jinling City, immediately implement the village grain, catch the strong men to be soldiers, train hundreds of thousands of soldiers in one or two years, and go around to conquest, with sufficient supplies, strict military discipline, correct tactics, good luck, gradually flatten the heroes, and achieve great achievements.

After becoming the emperor, he still did not rest, always guarding against others to avoid his Ming Dynasty, for this reason, he mainly adopted two methods, the first is to set up the vassal king system, the Ming Dynasty's military power from the hands of those founding generals, gradually transferred to his sons, for the Ming Dynasty's country on an additional insurance.

The second way is to create gods, he found a bunch of royal literati, let them hollow out their minds to shape themselves into an incomparably wise image, so that the subjects of the world bow and worship, as soon as he mentions the five bodies he admires, he does not dare to look up, let alone challenge his authority.

The specific way is to write that when he was still a dick, there were many, many big people who thought that he was not ordinary, and he would definitely make a difference in the future, increasing his protagonist's aura, and then the famous theory of beating Chen Youliang first and then Zhang Shicheng, which has been worshiped by countless people until now, which has become the most powerful evidence that Zhu Yuanzhang is like a god.

However, his god-making movement was hindered by a group of people, that is, the old brothers who followed him to fight the world, how he got up, and his black background is clear to these people.

Maybe when Zhu Yuanzhang boasted about making a god in front, this group of people were still laughing at him while drinking in the back, Lan Yu is a typical example, Zhu Yuanzhang has become the emperor, and when he mentioned him in front of people, he still had a Zhu Yuanzhang, and he didn't even call the emperor.

These people don't worship him, Zhu Yuanzhang also knows in his heart, plus some of them are not honest, Zhu Yuanzhang will kill him, because he feels unsafe, and there are two types of people who can make him feel safe, the first is the person who worships him as a god, and the second type is the person who works for him honestly.

So those people were all killed by him, he has been an emperor for thirty-one years, he has been worried all his life, he is tired, he is too tired, it is time to rest.

Zhu Yuanzhang was lying on the bed, his body couldn't move anymore, and his consciousness began to blur, he seemed to see many of his old friends back then, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and seemed to be coming.

In a daze, he seemed to hear a voice that made him extremely excited and missed: "Father, the son is here to pick you up." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears in an instant, and muttered with a crying voice: "Biao'er, how have you been doing all these years?" ”

"Father, the son is doing well, and now the son is here to pick you up. Look who's coming. ”

"Juhachi, it's time to go home. You're tired, it's time to rest. ”

"Xiuying ......" Zhu Yuanzhang finally slowly spit out these two words, and then closed his eyes forever, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the tenth day of the fifth month of the leap month, the most legendary emperor in history, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, died in the Forbidden City of Nanjing. The time of his death is exactly the same as recorded in history, and it has not changed at all because of Zhu Ao's crossing, in the end, he is a real self-made emperor in history, and his life is hard.

Zhu Yuanzhang started from the subtlety, forced to join the righteous army for a living, and since then he has fought in the north and south, struggling to survive in the cracks of the heroes, and later occupied Nanjing.

He took refuge in Liu Futong and asked him to help him cover the government troops of the Yuan Dynasty in the north, and he calmly grabbed land in the south, repeatedly rubbing with Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang's Tianwan regime.

Later, the Tianwan regime was infighting, and after some twists and turns, Chen Youliang obtained the throne, but at this time the Tianwan regime had been divided, and the Ming group seized Sichuan, and the land that was originally Tianwan was divided in half. There are also many generals who are not satisfied with Chen Youliang's understanding.

In fact, Chen Youliang's inheritance was not even half of the peak of Tianwan, but it was still the strongest at that time, with this capital, Chen Youliang repeatedly sent troops to attack Zhu Yuanzhang, but in the end, because of tactical mistakes, he was unlucky and defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang annexed Chen Youliang, he took advantage of the fact that Wang Baobao and Li Siqi of the Yuan Dynasty were busy with the civil war, quickly destroyed Zhang Shicheng, unified Jiangnan, and then sent troops to the Northern Expedition to drive out the Tartars and restore China. He became the only emperor in history to unify the whole country from the south to the north.

After ascending the throne, he abolished the village grain, began to recuperate, set up guards, had enough food for soldiers, and raised more than one million soldiers. Severely punish corrupt officials, crack down on traitorous parties, abolish prime ministers, decentralize power and rule, greatly strengthen imperial power, set up a perfect system of lieutenant chiefs and chiefs, compile a perfect atlas of land and fish scales, and control the population, land and other resources of the whole country in their hands, and the treasury is always very sufficient, where there is a famine, it can be relieved in time, and where there is a rebellion, troops can be sent to suppress it in time.

The descendants have relied on this business for more than 200 years, which is remarkable, really remarkable.

There are many controversies in his life, and killing heroes and opening burials are all stains on his life. However, everything he did was for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, and it was definitely not what some people said, and the Battle of Jingjing was caused by his mistakes.

He was the smartest man of his time, and he could certainly think of the problems that the rotten Confucians could think of.

He can be misunderstood, he can be hacked, but he cannot be underestimated.

"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang. Wake up. After Zhu Yunwen woke up, he touched Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand, and suddenly felt a coldness and stiffness, and screamed in his heart, probing his snort, there was no breath, and he knew that the imperial grandfather who had always loved him the most had left.

"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang." Zhu Yunwen lay on Zhu Yuanzhang's corpse and cried sadly, his crying was sincere, because Zhu Yuanzhang was really good to him, not only passed the throne to him, but also did not hesitate to kill to pave the way for him, and he has been teaching him the truth of being an emperor in Dundun, and he is a person who really wants to make him good.

Now, the emperor's grandfather, who was the best to him, suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart, as if a towering tree he was leaning on suddenly collapsed, making him feel a little dazed.

Before, he would ask his imperial grandfather any question he had, but now who can he ask if he has a question?

"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang." Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen cried very sadly.

Zhu Yunwen's cry alarmed the eunuchs and imperial doctors in the palace, and after the imperial doctor ran over to check Zhu Yuanzhang's pulse, he shook his head helplessly, and then knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty." ”

"The emperor has died!" "The emperor has died!" "The emperor has died!" The eunuchs in the palace spread the news from the hall layer by layer to inform everyone.

All of a sudden, everyone inside and outside the palace knelt down, whether it was sincere or false, and they all cried anyway.

A row of palace maids were carrying plates to deliver fruit to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom, and after hearing the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, they all put down their plates, knelt on the ground, and cried.
