019 Yongle the Great, worthy of his name

[After understanding the process of the son of the plane ascending to the throne, let's take a look at whether Zhu Di is worthy of being ranked seventh among the top ten Ming monarchs. 】

[During his reign, he changed the rules of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's direct leadership of the six ministries, and gradually established a cabinet system. 】

[This system not only avoids the inability of the government institutions to operate due to the emperor's mediocrity and neglect, but also avoids the irreparable losses caused by the emperor's arbitrariness. 】

[It's an extraordinary feat!] 】

[What is even more commendable is that during Zhu Di's reign, he completed the relocation of the capital to Beiping, creating a precedent of "the king dies and the Son of Heaven guards the country". 】

[With its tough foreign policy of not making peace, not paying tribute, not allied, and not paying currency, it was praised by later generations as "Yuanmai Han and Tang"! ] 】

[The sentence that best represents the character of the Yongle Emperor, and the sentence that can best express the character of the Ming Dynasty, is from the mouth of Zhu Di. Because of the encouragement of this sentence, there was almost no soft egg emperor in the Ming Dynasty! 】

[Whether it is Zhu Houxie, who seems to be messing around, or Emperor Wanli who has not been in court for decades, or Emperor Chongzhen who died in death, even if it is Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong, who is ambitious and talented, all of them are like this! 】

[Even after Zhu Qizhen was captured by Wara, the Ming court directly supported Zhu Qiyu to ascend the throne as emperor, and refused to accept Wara's blackmail, which was the only one in all dynasties! 】

[Daming wind bones, strong as this! ] 】

[Back then, when Zhu Di returned to Beijing in triumph, he said: I am the respect of the country, and I am beyond my predecessors! His slaves in the north and the south of the West and the South Island of the West, there is no harmony between the Han Dynasty, no alliance with the Tang Dynasty, no currency from the Song Dynasty, and no gift from brothers and enemies! 】

[All four barrens and eight wildernesses, all of them are concubines! ] 】

In the video, a man who exudes majesty stands on the tower of the Forbidden City, gazing at the north with a deep and wise gaze.

There, there were nomads who had plagued the Central Plains for many years, and there were Northern Yuan people established by the remnants of the Mengyuan Yuan.

Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty: "It's really not good to be friendly, I sent Zhaojun out without knowing it!" I regret it! ”

Liu Bang: "At some point, it seems to be quite cost-effective to exchange a woman for a short period of peace!" Why is the broadcaster so disgusted? ”

Liu Che: "Even this guy dares to say that he has surpassed me?" Is his surname Yang or What's Di? ”

Yang Jian: "It seems that I have also done the matter of harmony." In panic, solve! ”

Yang Guang: "I know the Han Dynasty, old soft!" Give sister paper to others at every turn! But what the hell is the Tang Dynasty? Looks like it's very praised? ”

Li Er: "Seems to be insinuating me?" It doesn't seem like a disadvantage for me to form an alliance with those foreign tribes and form a brotherly state, right? ”

Zhao Zhen: "The matter of sending New Year's coins didn't start with me, so there's no need to say it, right?" ”

Zhao Heng: "The alliance of the abyss is very cost-effective!" Although I gave a little money, I got peace in exchange and made money back from business, no loss! ”

[If he just knows how to fight, Zhu Di is at most a reckless man, a martial artist, and a lone man, and he doesn't deserve the title of the emperor, let alone being regarded as the second ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[In terms of cultural governance, he presided over the revision of the "Yongle Canon". This book brings together seven or eight thousand kinds of books from ancient times to the present, and sorts out a vast amount of literature from the pre-Qin to the Ming Dynasty! 】

[Compared with the Qing Dynasty's "Siku Quanshu", the books included in the "Yongle Canon" have not been deleted or changed, and there is no beautification or tampering at all. The style is very different! 】

[It is the largest and most complete book in the history of China, and it is also a large-scale encyclopedia recognized by the world, more than 300 years earlier than the complete book of Xiyi, which can be called a treasure in the history of Chinese culture!] 】

[The most commendable and most non-negligible achievement of the Yongle Emperor is that he sent Zheng He to the West seven times! ] 】

[In ancient times, there was no second person who could think of and put the Great Voyage into practice except Zhu Di! 】

[Because of the limitations of history, all the dynasties in the history of China regarded the northern nomads as a great trouble, and their understanding of the sea was extremely superficial, and they were ignorant of the dangers from the sea! 】

[Including Emperor Hongwu, the same is true!] 】

[After Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, he changed the ban on the sea of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and sent Zheng He to the West seven times to trade and raise the prestige of our country! 】

[At the time of the largest, there were dozens of 100-meter-long treasure ships, tens of thousands of personnel, and countless materials! ] 】

[When Zheng He returned to the West for the sixth time, more than 1,200 envoys from 16 countries and their families were on board. 】

In the video, a mighty fleet of ships, facing the wind and waves, sailing on the vast sea.

The well-trained sailors, the mountains of goods, and the mighty soldiers all show that this is a mighty army, a victorious army, and an invincible sea force!

Great, Daming!

Great, Yongle!

[In the thousands of years of history of China, cultural export reached its peak in Yongle! 】

[It has truly achieved the prestige of the four seas, Germany is in all directions, and the small barbarian countries have expressed their submission to the Ming Dynasty, and there are more than sixty countries that come to pay tribute at most! ] 】

[There are also four kings from overseas countries who have come across the sea, and three of them are buried in the land of China, which is unprecedented! 】

[At this point, the status of the Ming suzerainty has been firmly established, and everyone knows that there is a powerful country in the east, called, Daming! 】

[And the person who created all this is the Yongle Emperor, Zhu Di! ] 】

Inventory of the top ten Ming monarchs in the history of China, the seventh:

Character: Zhu Di

Alias: Ming Chengzu Yongle the Great

Politics: ★★★★

Economy: ★★★ ☆

Military: ★★★★

Culture: ★★★★

Reason for being on the list: Wencheng Wude has King Yan, and he went to the West to conquer the south and the north!

Zhu Yunwen: "According to what you say, I'm nothing?" I'm just living to hinder my dear fourth uncle's achievements? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "The fourth child can do it!" It's just that you're so powerful, why didn't I find out? ”

Yang Guang: "I'm phew! Isn't it just going to the West, I built the canal, and the merit of taking a lot of beauties to the south of the Yangtze River is not bad! ”

Qianlong: "That's it! I've also gone to Jiangnan five times, and I've visited a lot of places, so why don't you mention me? However, Jiangnan's sister paper is really good! ”

Boss Cao: "I don't go to Jiangnan!" I won't go out to sea to go to the waves! The fire in Chibi burned me to the root of the disease, and I was scared when I saw the water! ”

Genghis Khan, who barely paid much attention to the video: "I only think about galloping the land and conquering every place that the horse's hooves can reach." I didn't expect that there are so many sayings in this sea? ”

"However, no matter how great Zhu Di is, he is also the enemy of my Great Yuan, and he dares to enter the desert several times to attack my children and grandchildren? If you want me to admire him, you can't! ”

No matter what they say, they all notice a problem that they have never noticed before:

Ocean!

It turns out that the sea is not only dangerous with wind and waves, but also many countries overseas, and there are countless wealth!

The Central Plains, after thousands of years of farming, the potential has almost been exhausted, no matter how intensive cultivation is in such a little place, you can still make a crop with a yield of thousands of catties per mu?

Therefore, at the end of almost every dynasty, the people will be troubled by land annexation, and eventually the dynasty will fall and the dynasty will be changed.

Historically, why are there so few dynasties that are more than 300 years old?

It's not because of the development of society and the increase in population, that the people have no food to eat, and there is only one way to go!

So, is it a good direction to have land, wealth, and resources overseas?
