In 1368 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang built the capital of Yingtianfu, ascended the throne and called the emperor, the year name Hongwu, the country name: Ming.

Zhu Yuanzhang has a tough and strong personality, disgusted with corrupt officials and evil officials, since he became emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang has strong governance methods, and has successively created the four major cases of Hongwu, namely the empty seal case, the Guo Heng case, the Hu Weiyong case, and the Lanyu case. It has killed tens of thousands of people, but it has effectively stabilized the form at the beginning of the founding of the country, and gradually has the momentum of a strong country, shocking the Quartet, and creating a prosperous era of Hongwu.

In 1398 AD, the old Zhu who had been the emperor for 30 years could not do the time, and died, originally with the meaning of the old Zhu, the most suitable successor to the throne was the prince Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao was not blessed to enjoy, and the first old Zhu left in six years. Therefore, Lao Zhu passed the throne to Zhu Biao's second son, that is, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson.

So, 14-year-old Zhu Yunwen reigned in the world like this, and the year name was: Jianwen. In order to manage the huge empire passed down by the old man, the young Emperor Jianwen used Fang Xiaoru, who was degraded by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai to help the auxiliary government.

In ancient times, the emperor was afraid to take charge of the military power, but Lao Zhu was different, in order to manage his own territory, he made his son the king and distributed it to various places to guard the Zhu family.

But the old saying is even more cloudy: the dragon has nine sons, each of which is different. What's more, Zhu Yunwen is only Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, so Zhu Yunwen doesn't want to do that, he wants to cut the feudal domain and seize all the rights into his own hands.

Just do it when you think of it, this is probably the only place where Zhu Yunwen is like Zhu Yuanzhang, at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, according to the rules, at least you have to make an edict, exempt from taxes, pardon and pardon prisoners. But Zhu Yunwen directly began to cut the feudal domain, first demoted the emperor's uncle Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, and Zhu Yu, the king of Qi, to concubines, and everything went smoothly and in an orderly manner.

Zhu Yunwen was also very busy, but he immediately encountered a hard bone, that is, Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, this imperial uncle is very backbone, and he would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile! directly led the whole family to resist arrest, and committed suicide by burning the palace.

This can make the hot-blooded Emperor Jianwen dry, I thought that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was the hard bone, so he took the advice of Huang Zicheng and a few people, cut his wings first, and start from the weak, but he didn't expect to encounter a thatched pit stone at the corner, which was smelly and hard.

But Emperor Jianwen is not easy to get along with, with the encouragement of Fang Xiaoru and others, he continued to cut the feudal domain, so that Zhu Lao Siyan Wang Zhu Di will not do it, you will belittle the imperial uncle as a common person, and now you are still forcing the imperial uncle to commit suicide?

In addition, Zhu Di has an old monk who has more than seventy and has achieved nothing: Yao Guangxiao, law name: Daoyan. This person is amazing, a handful of age, reads through books, and is proficient in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism! But he didn't make any achievements, so Yao Guangxiao just wanted to do a vigorous thing before he died, prove himself, and show his strategy.

Obviously, resistance is the best opportunity, so Zhu Di raised the flag to resist under the instigation and planning of Yao Guangxiao after several failed attempts to weaken Emperor Jianwen.

There is an old folk saying: carry the banner and occupy the reason. Zhu Di went deep into the people and knew this truth well, so he began a vigorous resistance movement under the name of 'Jing's internal difficulty, Qingjun's side'.

After four years of hard war, Zhu Di raised an army of 800 people, grew all the way, and finally hit the city of Yingtianfu, Emperor Jianwen knew that surrender could not escape death, followed Zhu Bai's example, and took the queen and the prince to commit suicide.

Since then, Zhu Di ascended the throne in Yingtianfu in 1402, with the era name: Yongle.

In the third year of Yongle, the panic of the Battle of Jingyan has long passed, and Zhu Di, a workaholic who is more desperate than Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, has made the Ming Dynasty peaceful and peaceful. Although it is not said that it is not closed at night, it can be regarded as wealth, and the Yongle Emperor relaxed the suppression of merchants to a certain extent, which made the rapid rise of commercial development.

But this wealth is dangerous, because the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang formulated the household registration system, the main ones are "military, civilian, craftsman, stove" four kinds, as well as wine households, tea households, vegetable households, fruit households, donkey households, etc., etc., there are many projects, countless.

These household registrations are to be inherited from generation to generation and cannot be replaced, that is to say, your grandfather is a vegetable seller, you are destined to be a vegetable seller when you were born, and in the future, your son and grandson will also be a vegetable seller, do you want to sell wine? Sorry, it can't be.

However, the total population of the Ming Dynasty is only more than 70 million, and there are too many types of household registration, on average, there are only dozens of people in each household registration type, except for millions of military households and princes and nobles who do not enter the household, some household registrations are estimated to have only one person, or even no one.

Such a huge household registration system is difficult to manage, so there are some black households in society, that is, people who do not have household registration, or who voluntarily leave the household registration. The advantage of this is that you don't have to sell vegetables and wine for generations, go out and break through, and you probably can mix well. The disadvantage is that you may not be able to stay in a hotel at night, and you can't enter some cities that you want to lead by, and once you are caught, you will either be charged into the military household or killed.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the rich could not wear silk, but the peasants could. But silk is a luxury, how can you wear it without money? So there's a very strange phenomenon. Rich people, rich and very low-key, bought silk can only be worn at home, black households have money, even more dare not publicize, even dare not buy it. Farmers with household registration can wear it and want to wear it, but they don't have the money to buy it.

As a result, more and more people don't want to do one thing for generations, coupled with the idea of seeking wealth and danger, risking death to leave the household registration, become a black household, work their own, and look for business opportunities.

When some people are rich, there will naturally be people who covet them, except for enemies and thieves, it is naturally the service industry. When the rich have money, they naturally want to enjoy it, but those who are open dare not, but those who are underground can. The brothel is one of the best in this, and it is the biggest beneficiary of this service chain.

But you can't sell them all, can you? Therefore, some other people have taken a fancy to another point - to provide security and escort for businessmen and wealthy people or their belongings.

This business is somewhat similar to the post station of the imperial court, but the service object of the post station is only for the imperial court, and it is basically some documents such as letters. If you want to send something to a distant place, you can only ask someone to bring it. Either you can go on your own and go through it.

But once or twice, no one can stand the number of times, especially some businessmen who need to purchase goods from other places, so come and go, spend too much time on the road, it is not cost-effective. Second, if the road is far away, it is inevitable that you will encounter some masters who opened this road, that is, bandits.

As a result, there is a huge business opportunity for providing security escorts and escorts, and it has grown rapidly in a short period of time, and the people have called these organizations 'dart bureaus' in response to the concept of the supremacy of money for these people.

There are steamed buns, there is war, because it is a human eat, the dart game is no exception, you make money, others naturally want to make money, and our Chinese descendants have a fine tradition, that is, to follow the trend, as long as there is a meat seller on a street to make money, all people will want to sell meat, if it is not for Lao Zhu's household registration system, it is estimated that the whole street is selling meat.

The dart game is illegal according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, at least on the bright side, you can't come out and shout that you are a dart game, but this also gives some people convenience, because I robbed you of your business, and you don't dare to report to the official.

Dingyuan Dart Game is the strongest and most influential dart game in the industry, standing in the fiercely competitive dart game industry for ten years. Because the Dingyuan dart game has a very bullish big boss.

The structure of the dart board is a line, the largest one on the top is the big master, and the next is the second master, the chief dart head, the dart head, the dart master, the executioner, and the bookkeeper and the miscellaneous man who manages the chores, and the guards who take care of the house.

The big boss of the Dingyuan Dart Bureau was the leader of the personal guards of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang during the Hongwu period, and later because of the defense of Lao Zhu, he was injured at work and blinded.

But this person is not willing to be lonely, and directly founded the Dingyuan Dart Bureau in Penglai, where the government office of Dengzhou Mansion is located in his hometown, and with his outstanding martial arts, he actually won the fifth ranking in the martial arts, and he was nicknamed: Blind God Pupil Peng Shuangyu.

The divine pupil is the divine pupil, and it is strange to add a blind man, but this cannot erase Peng Shuangyu's connections, this former commander of the inner guard has been in Yingtianfu for more than ten years, as the saying goes: under the root of the imperial city, you can hit a third-grade official with any spitting and foaming, not to mention that Peng Shuangyu is still a person who circles around the emperor, although he does not wear a pair of pants with the first-grade officer, but the second-grade officer still knows a lot.

This made the Dingyuan dart game have the court as a backer in disguise, and officially transferred the dart game that could only survive in the dark world to the bright side, but low-key is necessary, and those who can only call themselves horse gangs to the outside world, that is, the so-called porters. It's just to help people transport things and collect some hardship fees.

Otherwise, if Lao Zhu finds out that there are people in the people who raise troops privately, hide weapons, and cross their nationality, it will be considered light to punish the nine clans.

Dingyuan Dart Bureau was established for more than 20 years, has not lost a dart, excellent reputation, now Dingyuan Dart Bureau in addition to the big master, there are ten rivers and lakes ranked within 30 of the top master as the dart head, usually darts are two dart head group, leading three dart divisions and dozens of executioners, but also unprecedented creation of the sea darts, to the east to Goryeo, East Ying Ryukyu, to the south to Siam, Manchu Thorn Plus! There is no other game in the dart game for a while.

Dingyuan Dart Bureau has branches in the more developed cities in the country, and there are bookkeepers and a few to dozens of people waiting on standby, so as to cooperate with the dart walkers who go here to ensure the safety and smoothness of the darts.

The status of the martial artist of the Ming Dynasty is very strange, for example, a person from a military household has no power to restrain the chicken, but when the country needs to recruit soldiers, he still has to be a soldier, on the other hand, if you are strong in martial arts, but you are an embroiderer, then you are honest embroidery, military camp or something, or don't think about it.

This is also the reason why Dingyuan Dart Bureau can recruit so many martial arts masters, because the vast majority of these people are black households, a group of strong people who are not willing to be lonely, and they will never embroider at home honestly.
