Chapter 12: The Polarizing Zhu Di

"The Eight-Nation Coalition Invades the Qing Dynasty !!" Xuan Ye was stunned.

After coming back to his senses, Xuan Ye gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, "Damn, why didn't you tell me which eight countries it was?" If I had known, I would have destroyed them in advance! ”

It's a pity that there is only a point in the video, and there is no development in this regard.

The video continues to play.

The screen flashed, and a man exuding majesty appeared in the video.

He stood on top of the Forbidden City Tower, looking at the earth and the ocean in the distance with a posture of looking at the world!

[Ming Chengzu Zhu Di Wenzhi is also excellent. 】

[He inherited Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's one-response system, and optimized some of the policies formulated by Taizu, making the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty more reasonable. 】

[He summoned Xie Jin, Yao Guangxiao and others to preside over the compilation of the "Yongle Canon" with 22,937 volumes, 11,095 volumes, 370 million words, and a collection of seven or eight thousand ancient books, which is recognized as the largest encyclopedia in human history, and has even become an important symbol of Chinese civilization! 】

A hint of appreciation appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and then he bowed his head slightly and said, "The fourth child, this kid is indeed like me." ”

Liu Bang touched his chin and sighed angrily: "Damn!" Why is this guy so good? But why is he only eighth? ”

Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This person is eloquent!" Rare in ancient and modern times! ”

And Zhu Di, one of the protagonists of this video, was also shocked by what he would do in the future at this moment, "I didn't expect that I would be so eloquent and strategic in the future!" Sure enough, it's me Zhu Di! ”

"However, now that I have this exchange platform for ten thousand dynasties, I will definitely be able to do better in the future!"

[Not only compiling books, Zhu Di also dredged the Grand Canal, which played a vital role in the economic development and cultural exchanges between the north and the south. 】

[Finally, Zhu Di also renovated the Great Wall during Zhu Di's reign. We all know that the Great Wall was built during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, but in fact, most of what we see in later generations is the "Ming Great Wall". 】

[Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, with his eloquent strategy, pro-government and love for the people, created a peaceful and prosperous era called "Yongle"! 】

After Qin Shi Huang saw it, he only said one word: "Good!" ”

Other emperors, including Zhu Yuanzhang, also highly recognized Zhu Di's various achievements.

After taking stock of Zhu Di's exploits, it was his turn to make mistakes.

Liu Xiu looked at the screen and said secretly in his heart: "This Yongle Emperor's merits are so great, I'm afraid that few emperors can compare... But he was only ranked eighth, and it seems that his mistakes will not be small! ”

"Ming Chengzu's reputation is seriously polarized, and he has made great achievements in the world, but he has also left a lot of infamy." As the emperor after the Ming Dynasty, Xuan Ye still knows a lot about Zhu Di's deeds.

[Ming Chengzu also has a lot of mistakes, next, let's take stock of the opposite of Zhu Di's great shore - brutal and ruthless! ] 】

"Brutal !!"

Everyone, whether it was the emperor in the exchange platform of the Ten Thousand Dynasties, or the ordinary people, gentry, officials, etc. in the parallel space, were shocked by this angry word.

Especially in Zhu Yuanzhang's world, Zhu Biao, Zhu Quan and others feel cold in their backs! And Zhu Di himself was pale, and there were countless beads of sweat the size of beans falling down his cheeks on his forehead, and he felt that countless eyes were roaming back and forth on his body, scrutinizing.

Zhu Di in the communication space, his face was gloomy at the moment, and the dark side of his heart made him extremely irritable at the moment, but because he was under the control of the "god man", he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only endure it temporarily.

[Ming Chengzu Zhu Di inherited his father Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous nature. The appalling and terrifying extermination of the Ten Clans appeared in the hands of Zhu Di! 】

"Annihilation of the !! of the Ten Tribes"

The people who saw the video playing in the parallel world couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

The other people who accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to see the "oracle" looked at Zhu Di at this moment as if they had seen a ghost, and they couldn't help but quietly move their steps away from him.

[When Zhu Di broke through Nanjing City, he killed all the eunuchs and palace maids in Emperor Jianwen's palace! ] Thousands of people, except for the few eunuchs who had ventilated for him, the rest were all executed, and it was extremely cruel! 】

[Of course, there are not a few brutal kings in history, in fact, Zhu Di may not have killed as many people as Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. 】

[But fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di killed many officials and characters involved in the palace, and they are still very good to ordinary people, and they can even be said to love the people like children. 】

Well, it turns out that this father and son are Wolong and phoenix chicks, half a catty and eight taels, and no one is better than the other...

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "......"

Officials, eunuchs and palace maids of two planes: "......"

And the people of the Ming Dynasty in the two time and space breathed a sigh of relief.

[Zheng He went to the West, on the surface, to promote the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it also cost the people and money. 】

[In order to promote the prestige of a great country, they spread the rich silk, porcelain and high-quality culture in the Ming Dynasty to countries outside the Ming Dynasty, but the rewards he received were far from proportional to what he paid]

[Zhu Di launched several foreign wars during his reign, although he was to stabilize the country's border defense, the starting point was good, but the successive years of conquest had a major burden on the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, so that the treasury was empty and the people were miserable. 】

When Zhu Di saw this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, "It's also the opening of the sea, why is the Song Dynasty able to get rich, but my Ming Dynasty will waste national strength in vain?" ”

Just when Zhu Di was confused, the video explained the reason for him very intimately,

[The Song and Ming dynasties had maritime trade, why was the Song Dynasty so rich, but the Ming Dynasty was stretched? The reason is actually quite simple...]

[During the Song Dynasty, they could not afford to open up the land Silk Road, so they could only choose to develop maritime trade. 】

The other emperors secretly snickered, while Zhao Kuangyin could only hide his face and sigh.

[Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West for three purposes]

[First, look for Emperor Jianwen and his followers who are suspected of having fled overseas; 】

[Second, to show the great strength of the Ming Dynasty to overseas countries; 】

[Third, maintain the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty. 】

"Bastard thing! People have gone overseas, and you still refuse to let go? Look at Lao Tzu and won't smoke you to death later! Zhu Yuanzhang said hatefully, and the cloth shoes under his feet were a little ready to move.

[Among them, there is no mention of the establishment of a trading system.] 】

[Zheng He spent a lot of money along the way, and various small Oriental countries came to China to worship, taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty.

The treasury of the Ming Dynasty could not make ends meet, and the silver flowed like water to other countries.

In the end, the Ming Dynasty learned from the pain and decided to close the country, refusing to do business with other countries, and strictly forbidding them to come to worship when they had nothing to do. 】

[Although Zheng He also brought back a lot of treasures, it is negligible compared to the cost of almost a drop in the bucket. 】

[It can be seen that the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty is still fundamentally different from that of the Song Dynasty. 】

[In fact, if the fleet of the Yongle period can colonize those rich places with its powerful force, the Ming Dynasty will become the only overlord in the whole world! There will be no empire on which the sun never sets. 】

The people and the scholars talked one after another:

"I, Da Ming, can I be so powerful?"

"But colonizing those small foreign countries is not a gentleman's doing!"

"Fool, what's the use of saving face? What we want is the benefit of real money!! ”
