Last time, it was mentioned that Zhu Yuanzhang was unique in governing the country, insisting on "governing the people with the people" and putting "corrupt officials and corrupt officials" to death in order to consolidate political power.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang is so capable, why didn't he let the "Ming Dynasty" pass on forever? In fact, this is not done by man, even "immortals" are difficult to do. However, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, after the Liao, Song, Xia, Jin and Yuan dynasties, the land of China has been devastated, and civilization has regressed, how to save Chinese civilization? This is the resonance of people of insight in the world. How to turn the tide? The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise. But "Maitreya was born, King Ming was born" made Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's original name was "Zhu Chongba", born in a destitute peasant family, ranked eighth among the cousins in the clan, and was the "heavy" generation, so he was called "Chongba". When he was just 16 years old, there was a severe drought in Huaixi, thousands of miles of red land, no harvest, and after the drought, he encountered a locust plague, because too many people died of starvation, which led to a plague epidemic, and in just ten days, "Zhu Chongba" lost almost all his relatives. At that time, his hair Xiaochang Yuchun shouted: "Brother Chong, your mother is dead." ”

"Nonsense! When I went out in the morning, my mother was fine. Zhu Chongba touched the head of the little boy Chang Yuchun, but Chang Yuchun scratched his head and said, "Oh, maybe I was wrong, maybe, your father died, right?" Zhu Chongba didn't believe it, so he casually gave the little kid a chestnut, turned around and left.

When "Zhu Chongba" returned home, he found that his father and mother were dead, as well as his eldest brother and third brother...... The sisters either starved to death or died of illness, and the family was dying, because they were the "tenants" and "hooligans" at the bottom of society, so Zhu Chongba didn't even have a "cemetery" to bury his relatives, so he could only ask for help.

There is not even time to grieve, so I can only roll up the corpses of my relatives with a tattered grain mat and quickly find a place to bury them, otherwise once I am infected with the plague and die, there will be no one to collect the corpses! Zhu Chongba, who was dizzy and hungry, after burying his parents, ran to the nearest "Huangjue Temple" to be a handyman and a small novice, thinking that there was a second brother alive anyway, but he could inherit the incense, but he just ran away from himself.

So, Zhu Chongba felt that it didn't matter if he was a monk, so he chopped wood and carried water every day, chanted sutras and chanted Buddha, got up early and went to bed late, even if he could only sleep in the firewood room, he would be scolded, as long as there was food to eat, such a day was as beautiful as heaven, because he could eat enough and not be starved to death, he could live!

However, the good times didn't last long, "Heaven" had just been in place for three years, and the "famine" came again, and even the abbot and the old monk were so hungry that they were swollen and their eyes were green. Therefore, the old monk had no choice but to send away all the "little monks" such as "Zhu Chongba", and each person was given a broken bowl to beg for food, which was called "turning fate" into a beautiful name. Of course, before the abbot dismissed his disciples to go out to beg for food, he gave each of them a "degree document".

The old monk thought to himself, if he was not allowed to go out to beg for food, in case he starved to death in the temple, then he should eat their corpses? Or is it better to bury it? And the newly adult "Zhu Chongba" carried the paperwork, held a broken bowl, had a bald head, begged everywhere, wandered, and called it "traveling all over the world".

After setting off, the "little monks" found that this was actually a dead end, because there were dead bodies lying everywhere on the road, or starving to death, or dying of disease, rotting and stenching, white bones, resentment, such as falling into the underworld, even if the sun was shining in the daytime, it also made people feel creepy, because there were living people eating dead corpses.

"Zhu Chongba" saw those half-dead victims, all of them in blue clothes, unkempt, thin as firewood, lying on the side of the road, eyes slightly closed, gnawing on carrion corpses, shaped like skeletons, and the days were numbered, so he thought of his "ups and downs in life", and decided to beg separately with his brothers and sisters, and get together three years later.

After three years of wandering, there were many difficulties and dangers, but "Zhu Chongba" and several brothers and sisters still survived. He was satisfied that he could go back to the temple again. However, at this time, the world was already in chaos, because the righteous army and the Yuan soldiers came and went, and Zhu Chongba, who just wanted to keep to himself and steal his life, was disturbed.

Until he reached the age of 24, God still did not let him be at peace, because his childhood playmate was the "Commander of Nine" of the Righteous Army, and invited Zhu Chongba to "share the wealth", so he wrote him a letter. Zhu Chongba looked at it after carrying the letter, and thought to himself, "It is impossible to rebel, it is impossible to rebel in this life!" Only by living in the temple, growing some food, and being isolated from the world, can we continue to maintain the current stable life! Unexpectedly, someone framed him for rebellion.

At this time, the Yuan army was already on his way to arrest him, and if he didn't leave, he would die immediately! Therefore, in order not to be caught and killed by the officers and soldiers, Zhu Chongba had no choice but to decide to really rebel, so under the recommendation of Fa Xiaotanghe, Zhu Chongba joined Guo Zixing's "rebel forces" and stimulated his potential.

Because he begged everywhere at the beginning, and did not die for three years and forged a tenacious character and indomitable spirit, coupled with rich life experience, he did a very good job when he served as "captain of the army", "financial director", "military general" and other positions, and finally got Guo Zixing's special attention.

When Zhu Chongba was 26 years old, he was favored by Guo Zixing and married his righteous daughter Ma Xiuying as his wife. As a result, the "poor peasant" Zhu Chongba ate "swan meat" as a "toad". With the "Bai Fumei" Ma girl, she is considerate and gentle, and thank God Xie Ancestor's "Zhu Chongba" finally hurts, and she doesn't have to stay alone in a dark room every night to endure the double torture of loneliness and loneliness, and she doesn't have to secretly wash her face with tears all day long to miss her lost parents and brothers and sisters.

So, as the father-in-law of the "Anti-Yuan General", he named him "Zhu Yuanzhang", and "Zhang" is a jade with sharp horns, and his surname "Zhu" means that he wants to "destroy the Yuan Dynasty and pay tribute to the world". Chongba swore in his name, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to fight the "Mengyuan Imperial Court" to the end in his life.

History is such a joke, and even let a "stinky monk" become the son-in-law of the "General Kang Yuan", which must have been envied by many people, including Guo Zixing's own son. In order not to be killed by others, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to resign and start a business, so he jumped Xu Da, Tang He, Chang Yuchun and other "small" 24 people to run away together, fought in the south and the north, and fought a "heaven and earth" in life and death several times.

At the age of 30, after several years of twists and turns, Zhu Yuanzhang successfully replaced Guo Zixing, and accepted his men and horses in full, and also laid down a radius of thousands of miles of land, and captured the Yuan Dynasty's "Yingtianfu" (Nanjing, Jiangsu), began his thousand-year hegemony, and invited the "Four Sages of Western Zhejiang" Liu Ji and others to help.

And his first enemy is Chen Youliang, a tyrant who was born as a "fisherman". Although he was also a "rebel" at that time, Chen Youliang did not talk about "class friendship" at all, because his troops were three times that of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also made an appointment with Zhang Shicheng to attack Zhu Yuanzhang from east to west, wanting to divide his territory.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang launched the full-level "Begging Skill", and once again successfully cleaned up Chen Youliang with a small and big one. Later, at the age of 40, he defeated Zhang Shicheng, who was born as a "salt dealer", and pocketed the southeastern half of the Yuan Dynasty. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers were strong and strong, and looking at the whole world, the only one who could be regarded as an enemy was the "Mengyuan Imperial Court" in the north. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a "Proclamation to Discuss the Yuan" and decided to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.

On the fourth day of the first month of 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, Jiangsu, with the country name of "Daming" and the year name of "Hongwu", because Zhu Yuanzhang did not immediately recuperate like Liu Bang, who won the world at the end of Qin, and lived in Chang'an, and did not give wealth to the Hu people outside the Saiwai and marry the daughter of the clan to make peace with him, but reorganized his clothes, cleaned up the rivers and mountains, and used force to defeat the invincible Mongols, and fulfilled his promise to "drive out the Tartars and restore China".

Zhu Yuanzhang not only recovered the Central Plains, which had been far away from the Central Plains for 242 years, but also recovered the "Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun", that is, the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun", which had been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for 430 years. Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to capture the "Hexi Corridor" that had been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty in 653, and further took the northeast, fought Qinghai, collected Tibet, pursued the north, drove the "Mengyuan Imperial Court" back to the north of the Saiwai Mobei, and returned the "Mengyuan Empire" that had dominated Asia for a hundred years to its original form.

Zhu Yuanzhang used his strength to turn the Mongolian nobles who unified the world back into a group of nomadic tribes on the steppe, and it has only been less than a hundred years since these guys swept across the Eurasian continent. It is no exaggeration to say that the five generations of rulers of the Han Dynasty (Gaozu, Empress Lu, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu) have worked hard for a hundred years and expanded their territory for a hundred years, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been in power for 31 years. It's incredible!

If future generations know a little bit of history, they will know that the "Hexi Corridor" and the "Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun" are very important to the unified Central Plains Dynasty, without one the northern border defense is unstable, and without the other the dynasty can not be really strong, otherwise the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty will not be at a disadvantage in the competition with foreign nations because of the loss of these two places.

After the loss of the "Hexi Corridor", the Tang Dynasty's rule in the "Western Regions" was difficult to maintain, and the "Western Regions", which had broken off its connection with the Tang Dynasty, was completely occupied by the Tibetan Empire in 808 AD. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty, which lacked the "Hexi Corridor" as a buffer zone, gradually eroded its western hammer defense line by the strong enemy Tubo Empire, and in the Daizong and Dezong dynasties, it was necessary to often mobilize people and horses in the Guannai to defend the border in order to ensure the safety of the capital Chang'an, so the history is called "anti-autumn".

In addition to the threat to the border, the loss of the "Hexi Corridor" also made millions of border people of the Tang Dynasty become slaves of the Tubo Empire, and with the large number of Tubo population moved in, it also intensified the ethnic contradictions in Hexi, although in the end, under the resistance of the locals, there were Zhang Yichao and other Han "volunteers" who repelled the "Xishan robbers" Tubo army, and led the "four counties of Hexi" to return to the Tang Dynasty for a short time, but the once prosperous "Hexi Corridor" has gradually declined.

Since the Two Song Dynasty, the central seat of the Central Plains Dynasty (the capital) has been constantly moving to the south and east, making the Tang Dynasty West Hammer, which once made countless people dream, become a dilapidated monument buried under the yellow sand. Although the Yuan Dynasty occupied the "Hexi Corridor" after unifying the world, those were two different things.

In the same way, the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun" or "Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun" is the regret of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 300 years, although countless Chinese heroes and heroes want to help the imperial court to recover this natural barrier in the north, including the patriotic poet Xin Qijian of the Southern Song Dynasty who was still chanting "kill the thief" before his death, Yue Fei, who died unjustly, and the tragic poet Lu You. Because the two Song dynasties were invaded by foreign enemies twice, both of which were the result of the inaction of the rulers, who can blame them?

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the invincible Mongols by force and took back the "Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun", which is a great achievement in the history of Chinese rejuvenation, worthy of a special book, enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang famous through the ages, because "the king set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice was not forgotten to tell Na Weng" in his hands. So far, the haze that has been hanging over the Han people for more than 400 years since the late Tang Dynasty has been swept away, allowing the Han people to regain their national self-confidence.
