Chapter 181 This is the Ming Hexagonal God of War, Your Majesty, don't say that.
"What the hell is going on? Who did this to you! β
In Shouning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked, with an irrepressible chill in his voice.
Such a masterpiece, a treasure of China, was destroyed like this?
In the end, only 400 copies were circulated?
From more than 22,800 volumes, to 400 volumes!
There is no need to say anything else, just look at the huge number gap in this, and you can know what this masterpiece has become of ruined!
It's heartbreaking!
"The Yongle Canon was copied once in the Jiajing period, but the whereabouts of the original version became a mystery.
There is a lot of speculation in the historical circles about this.
One of the more popular speculations is that it was buried with Emperor Jiajing.
The Yongle Grand Ceremony originally gave the emperor a martyr's funeral.
Because after Emperor Jiajing died at that time, he was not buried quickly, but waited for a long time.
At that time, the work of transcribing the Yongle Ceremony was being carried out intensively and was not yet over.
Therefore, some people believe that this is waiting for the completion of the copying of the Yongle Canon.
It was only later that only 8,000 copies of the Jiajing manuscript remained, and some people thought that they might have been in a hurry to bury them, but they did not complete the copying.
However, I don't think it's right to assume that the transcription was not completed.
Because by the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were still 8,000 copies of the Jiajing manuscript.
Because the time span in the middle is too large, it has also gone through the most dangerous and chaotic chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The Yongle Ceremony is made of paper, which is not easy to store, and it is easy to be damaged.
At the beginning, it was 8,000 volumes, but it turned out that until the Qianlong period, it was not very likely that it was still a complete 8,000 volumes......"
"Did Jiajing really do this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked, a little excited.
Han Cheng shook his head when he heard this: "It's just the most likely speculation, and the real situation is not recorded in later generations."
Anyway, since then, the original of the Yongle Grand Ceremony has become a mystery.
The Jiajing Codex has been circulated, but the original has never been seen. β
"Bang!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table angrily.
"Bullshit! What a waste of good stuff! Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily.
"What a good thing! What a lot of hard work! He actually used it for burial?
Damn it!
Damn it!
He's a crime!
In doing so, aren't you afraid that your ancestors will be chopped alive with a knife when they go down? β
Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry.
In his opinion, such things should always remain in the world and be passed on.
If possible, more people need to see it.
In this way, it can play its due value.
As a result, it's good now, so what Jiajing actually buried such a good thing directly!
When a person dies, he dies, dust returns to dust, dust returns to earth, and the dead will look at a!
It won't do anything other than spoil things.
Originally, I thought that this guy organized people to copy the Yongle Ceremony, and he was really afraid that the Yongle Ceremony would be damaged, so he did so.
How could I have imagined that it was with such a purpose!
This guy, what a bastard!!
Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and wanted to hit someone.
"Orchid Pavilion Preface", which is known as the first line of books in the world, was brought to the grave by Li Shimin, who loves Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.
As a result, now, the Yongle Ceremony has also been taken to the grave by his descendants in the same way.
This thing makes people feel extremely uncomfortable when they think about it!
This unlucky thing, why don't you learn the good ones, but you have to learn the bad ones?
"And what about the remaining 8,000 copies? How did it come to 400 volumes? β
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and looked at Han Cheng to ask again.
Han Chengdao: "The Yongle Grand Ceremony, once again suffered a catastrophe, it was the Qianlong period of the Qing Emperor.
It's the one who claims to be the perfect old man.
During his reign, he also repaired a similar book, which was named Siku Quanshu.
However, before the people in the Siku Quanshuguan began to revise the books, they first compiled the Yongle Canon they owned.
Through this incident, many important documents have indeed been recovered.
But for the Yongle Grand Ceremony, it was also a catastrophe.
Because Qianlong gave the guiding ideology when he made people compiled.
That is, insisting on Confucianism as orthodoxy, believing that 'the essence is exhausted, and the dross can be discarded', and all operas, Buddhism and Taoism and other things are not recorded.
In addition, all the words that involve the obstruction are merciless and deleted.
That alone has damaged a lot of things.
Your Majesty, you don't know how many perverted actions the Tartars have made in order to imprison people's minds and brutally suppress the people of Huaxia.
One of them is extremely famous, called Word Hell.
The rise of the literary prison was very long, starting from Shunzhi, almost with the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty.
It's more than you can imagine! The scope of the implication is unprecedented.
There are nearly 200 recorded literary prisons.
More than the literal hell that happened in many previous dynasties combined!
It seriously imprisons the mind, blocks the way of speech, and hinders scientific progress and development.
Before the Qing Dynasty, all the Chinese dynasties and dynasties in China had a variety of science and technology, which brought a lot of positive effects to the society.
All kinds of technologies are emerging one after another.
Although some imperial courts will not encourage scientific and technological research and development, at least they will not deliberately suppress it.
But only in the Qing Dynasty, all kinds of official suppression.
Adopt various policies to fool the people.
Not to mention the stagnation of science and technology, there has even been a great regression!
As for the later battles with foreigners, many people still use cold blades such as knives and guns.
The firearms they possess are basically old-fashioned things.
The level of firearms is not up to the level of the Ming Dynasty.
This is the result of the Tartars' crazy foolishness and continuous suppression of science and technology.
When they won the world, firearms played a major role in it, but later they had to say that they were riding and shooting to win the world.
The reason for this is that many people ignore firearms and do not pay attention to them.
In this case, even if there is a rebellion among the people, it will be much easier for them to quell the rebellion without using firearms and relying only on cold blades.
Do the rulers of the Qing Dynasty really not know the power of technology?
They know.
While the crazy fools are imprisoning the development of science and technology, they themselves are crazy about learning technology.
Just like Kangxi.
This person has a great deal of astronomical knowledge and is proficient in calculus, as well as solving higher functions, etc.
After him, Yongzheng, Qianlong and others, they would also hire missionaries to teach them the latest knowledge from Europe.
They themselves attach great importance to these things, but they are extremely afraid of these things circulating among the vast underclass.
While they themselves are hungry and thirsty for learning, they keep publicizing it to the outside world, which is a strange skill.
Technology is nothing.
In doing so, they have seriously hindered scientific and technological progress.
As for them, it doesn't mean much to master this thing.
Because they are just mastering, they will not expand the scale, nor will they let these spread to the people, and they will not think of using them to increase their strength.
In this case, it is equivalent to guarding a treasure mountain without using it, which is meaningless.
Otherwise, it would not have caused them to fall behind so much when they ruled.
Moreover, it also allows the development of ancient science and technology on our side, after the West has the right to speak, to say that it has become the so-called craftsman technology.
All kinds of slander, belittling.
As a result, many people in later generations have misunderstood the ancient science and technology of our China, and unconsciously feel inferior.
The literal hell of the Tartars, extremely perverted.
Someone was killed because he wrote a poem 'Qingfeng is illiterate, why do you flip through the book', which is considered to be a satire on the barbarians of the Qing Dynasty.
Someone was beheaded because of the sentence 'Knowing the talent' appeared in the article, and it was considered treacherous.
For another example, during the Yongzheng period, someone served as an examiner in Jiangxi, and used a sentence in the Book of Poetry when he asked the question, "Weimin stopped", and then some people said that he did it on purpose, and the word "Weizhi" was to cut off the head of the word Yongzheng......
The literal prison has reached the point of being like a perversion, and you can imagine how many things in the Yongle Canon were tampered with and deleted when they were compiling. β
Can it be like this?
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.
I was shocked by the operation of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Even an existence like him thinks that these guys are really perverted and can really be far-fetched.
To what extent do you have to be psychologically inferior, and you care more about their own barbarian background, so why do you kill people because they can't read or write because of a clear breeze?
Hearing Han Cheng say that the Tartar Emperor was crazy about banning science and technology, but he was crazy about learning, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but pout.
I feel that these people are really hypocritical, and they are also really wretched, and they are not big-minded at all.
After Han Cheng said that these various inventions and creations in China were slandered by the West as craftsman technology, his chest also rose and fell for it.
I think these dog thieves are so shameless!
It seems that he really wants to let Daming fight out as soon as possible!
Ships and artillery bombarded their country.
Sea!
Gotta go to sea!
"In fact, when it comes to literary prison, not only the Qing Dynasty is famous, but even your father-in-law is also famous."
Han Cheng suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang, whose chest was rising and falling, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and the whole person looked a little confused.
What did Han Cheng say?
"When did we have a literary prison? Why don't we know? β
Han Chengdao: "Your Majesty, you really didn't do it, but you can't stand it from someone wanting you to do it, and the people behind you say that you did it, don't you just do it?"
Anyway, black you are their consistent principle.
It's as if you said that Your Majesty had done this too, and then those emperors of the Qing Dynasty, when they did this thing again, it wasn't so bad.
For example, when Your Majesty was on a private visit, you met an old woman, and when you talked about Your Majesty, you were called an old man on the left and another old man.
Your Majesty, when you returned to Xu Da's house, the more you thought about it, the more angry you became, and you trembled with anger, and then sent someone back to kill the old woman.
He also said that Your Majesty, because you have been a monk, you can't hear the words thief, bald, monk, etc., so you have killed many people......"
"it!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't help but scold.
These dog things can really make up nonsense!
"That'...... Will these be widely circulated in later generations? β
When Zhu Yuanzhang asked this, he knew that he was asking in vain, and it must have been widely circulated.
"Guang, when it comes to the literary prison of the Qing Dynasty, many people will think of these things that Your Majesty has done.
Although there are already people, through various historical books, it has been proved that these are all nonsense, but there are still many people who have been misled......"
"Wow! These things are really not boring!! β
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily.
"During the Qianlong period, not only the remaining things of the Yongle Canon were revised, but also the Siku Quanshu was repaired.
The construction of the Siku Quanshu is a summary and protection of Chinese culture, but at the same time it is a devastating blow.
Because they considered books and documents that violated the code of ethics, satirized and belittled their ancestors, did not conform to righteousness and righteousness, and endangered the rule of the dynasty, all of them were banned and destroyed.
It was a catastrophe of banned books.
Qianlong destroyed many Yongle canons in the name of Ji Yi, which was a major destruction of Yongle canons in the Qing Dynasty.
There is an even greater catastrophe to come.
In the tenth year of Xianfeng, Western robbers invaded Beiping, and the old woman fled with Emperor Xianfeng in a hurry.
The Hanlin Temple was robbed and a large number of Yongle Ceremony was lost.
In the first year of Guangxu, the building of the Hanlin Academy was repaired, and after an inventory, it was found that the canon was less than 5,000 volumes, and there were many staff guarding and stealing from themselves.
In the twentieth year of Guangxu, he checked again and found that there were only 800 volumes left......"
Speaking of these things, Han Chengcheng felt extremely depressed and humiliated.
At that time, where was the only thing that was lost in Huaxia?
Countless Chinese treasures were destroyed and robbed by those robbers.
In the cave of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, there are many scriptures, social documents, embroidery, and ritual instruments...... The destroyed Old Summer Palace......
Many of the looted Chinese treasures were listed in their museums by robbers......
"Infuriating! What a fucking annoying!! These dog thieves!! β
Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and foul-mouthed, only to feel extremely aggrieved.
"Forget it, forget it, Han Cheng, you can tell me about the rest of the things that the fourth child has done, don't talk about this Yongle ceremony."
After Zhu Yuanzhang scolded, he waved his hand at Han Cheng weakly, signaling that Han Cheng didn't need to say more at the Yongle ceremony.
originally thought that it was a very good thing that the fourth child came up with the Yongle Ceremony, but how could he have imagined that the things behind him would be so aggrieved!
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Han Cheng thought about it and didn't say much about it.
He pondered for a moment and said: "In addition to these, during the reign of Emperor Yongle, there was another very commendable place, that is, the land area of the Ming Dynasty reached its peak. β
Hearing Han Cheng talk about this, Zhu Yuanzhang re-raised his spirits.
Since the territory of the Ming Dynasty is the largest, it is naturally inevitable to expand externally, and the Ming Dynasty must have won a lot of battles.
Needless to say, let people know that it must be very refreshing.
"When Emperor Yongle was there, he expanded the territory of the Ming Dynasty a lot, such as taking Annan.
In the second year of Jianwen, Hu Shi, a powerful minister of the Chen Dynasty in Annam, staged a coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow the rule of the Chen Dynasty.
Establishment of the Hu regime.
The Hu clan exercised high-pressure rule over the territory of Annam.
Externally, there is a clear momentum of expansion.
For the suzerain, the Ming Dynasty, the Hu blockade of Annam has changed the news of the dynasty.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty was during the Jing Dynasty, and Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di's uncle and nephew were fighting each other.
I didn't notice it for a while.
Here in Annan, as early as the time of your majesty's rule, it has become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
Hu Shi did this, which was obviously unruly.
Seriously damaged the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.
Later, Chen Tianping, the royal family of the Chen family, asked for help from the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Emperor Yongle was already firmly seated in the country, and when he heard Chen Tianping tell what the Hu family had done, he was furious and immediately sent troops to escort Chen Tianping back to China and take the throne.
On the one hand, this is to show the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, there is also the meaning of supporting a dynasty that listens to the words of the Ming Dynasty in Nan'an.
But what happened next was something that Emperor Yongle didn't expect.
This Hu clan was so bold that he dared to set up an ambush, and completely annihilated the 5,000 Ming troops escorted by him, and killed Chen Tianping!
Emperor Yongle was immediately furious!
So what is Hu's thing? Dare to ride on his head and?
Immediately gather heavy troops and push Annan flat!
Hu dared to do this, and he also had his own plans.
After analysis, he said that the Ming Dynasty had just gone through a big war, and the country was unstable, and he also needed to recuperate.
In the face of his behavior, Emperor Yongle will be furious, but he will not really fight with Annan.
As long as he withstood the first few waves of retaliation from the Ming army, the Ming Dynasty would definitely withdraw its troops.
As for whether you can hold on...... He is very confident!
The Annan Mountain is high and densely forested, and it is far away from the heart of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming army came from a long journey, and it was easy to adapt to the water and soil.
And the long-term use of troops will also put great pressure on logistics.
He is fighting locally here, and no matter how strong the Ming army is, he has to be honest here.
But what he didn't know was that Emperor Yongle was already determined to run Nanyang at this time.
He also overestimated his own combat power and underestimated the combat power of the Ming army.
Emperor Yongle spent three months gathering an army of 300,000.
The mobilization of grain and grass, coupled with the people in charge of logistics and others, mobilized more than 500,000 people.
Claimed to be 800,000.
Let Zhu Neng take command and go straight to Annan all the way.
Zhu Neng died of illness on the road, and Emperor Yongle did not return to his teacher, so Zhang Fu, the son of Zhang Yu, replaced Zhu Neng as the commander and continued to move forward.
The Ming army has only fought the Battle of Jingjing, and it can be said that they are fierce soldiers, and all of them are tigers and wolves.
After coming to Annan, he quickly crumbled the defense carefully constructed by the Hu clan.
Later, it only took ten months to sweep through Annan and take the entire territory of Annan!
Subsequently, Emperor Yongle changed Annan to Jiaozhi and set up three divisions and fifteen prefectures......
Cochin, 2,800 miles from north to south, 1,760 miles from east to west.
Among them, 3,120,000 were Shun people, and 2,877,500 barbarians.
After obtaining Jiaozhi, the territory of the Ming Dynasty suddenly increased rapidly.
It's just that many people in later generations held a disoptimistic attitude when they talked about Emperor Yongle taking Annan.
One of the main reasons is that it violates Your Majesty's ancestral precept that you have included Annan in the country of non-conquest - the land is not enough to supply, and the people are not enough to make the order ......."
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally excited when he heard it, but suddenly such a sentence came out of Han Cheng's mouth, which suddenly made Zhu Yuanzhang feel as if he had eaten a fly.
Before learning a lot of news from Han Cheng's mouth and knowing how big and exciting the world is, Zhu Yuanzhang learned from Han Cheng that he would come up with a country that would not be conquered in the future, and he felt quite reasonable.
But now, after learning so many things from Han Cheng and opening his eyes to see the world, he felt a little harsh when he heard from Han Cheng that the ancestral teachings of the 'country of non-conquest' that he left behind.
I blush at what I did later.
What I thought was a good strategy at the time was really too stupid to be described as short-sighted.
"Han Cheng, that ...... Let's not mention this non-conscripted country.
Isn't it true that we didn't know in history that overseas was so important? β
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand at Han Cheng, and his face turned a little red.
A little embarrassed.
Han Cheng was a little stunned.
What did you see? Zhu Yuanzhang was even embarrassed???
Zhu Yuanzhang said so, and Han Cheng naturally wouldn't grasp this matter.
"Father-in-law, I think it's very important for us to have a chance to take it down in the future, so that it will become my Ming homeland.
Daming is going to start a great voyage in the future, and the opening of the great voyage is not enough to rely only on a strong sailor, and some key places also need me in my hands.
In the future, the Ming Dynasty will open the Great Voyage, and these places in the South and Western Oceans must be the top priority.
Annam, with its long and narrow terrain and, most importantly, a very long coastline.
It is conducive to the development of ocean-going trade, and the tentacles of the Ming Dynasty are extended into the Indochina Peninsula to deter many small countries in the South Seas and even in the West.
Make them all honest.
And in history, Emperor Yongle took Annan, which was not a whim, and it was a great success.
Instead, it has sufficient consideration, and it is one with Zheng He's voyage to the West.
If Emperor Yongle hadn't taken Annan first and turned it into a place for the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's trip to the West would not have been so smooth, and places such as Nanyang and the West would not have been so well-behaved.
In my opinion, this is a really far-sighted move. β
If in the past, when he learned that Zhu Di had taken Annan, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt incomprehensible.
But now, thinking about what Han Cheng said overseas, and then thinking about the position of Annan on the globe, and Zheng He's trip to the West made by the fourth child, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that the fourth Zhu Di's move was really high, and he could see far!
Throwing out the matter of killing Zhu Yunxi and others after the fourth child became the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Di, the emperor, was really okay.
It is worthy of his Zhu Yuanzhang's species!
The fourth replaced Zhu Yunwen, and the replacement was good!
If it weren't for the fourth child to resist, he would still let Zhu Yunwen, that idiot, be the emperor, and he would inevitably leave himself behind, and he would not be ruined!
"The fourth child did the right thing! Han Cheng, you're right!
This Annan really needs to be taken down!
This is really important for the future operation of Daming! β
Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists and said.
And quickly recited it silently in his heart several times to deepen his memory, for fear that he would forget about it.
This is an important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang likes to come to chat with Han Cheng when he has nothing to do.
Through Han Cheng, he can greatly broaden his horizons, know a lot of things in the future, and constantly improve his plans for external actions.
"This Annan is so important, the people of later generations have not lost it, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked.
After saying that, he shook his head again, feeling that he might be thinking a little too much.
Not everyone is as ambitious as the fourth child, and Annan is located in a remote area, and after a long time, there will definitely be chaos.
Han Cheng also shook his head and said, "Throw it away, and soon throw it away."
Xuande lost it when he was in the second year.
Because of many reasons, mainly the rule of Emperor Yongle, which seriously damaged the interests of those local tyrant families in Annan, these people stood up to resist.
After taking Annan, it can be said that there has been a war here.
And because Annan is too far away, the Ming Dynasty does not collect enough taxes here.
The grain and other things needed for soldiers and horses need to be transported from the Ming Dynasty, and the consumption is very large.
has always let Daming be here, and continue to invest.
This made the Chinese official system of the DPRK dissatisfied.
In addition, the north is still fighting against the Tartars, so the idea of giving up this place is getting stronger and stronger.
Of course, when Emperor Yongle was there, no one dared to open this mouth.
But as soon as Emperor Yongle died, many people couldn't wait to jump out.
Calls for the abandonment of Annan.
In the second year of Xuande, Emperor Zhu Zhanji, who had been hesitant, finally made up his mind to give up Annam.
The background was that the rebels in Annam were getting stronger.
In the second year of Xuande, the main force of the Ming army stationed in Annam was defeated again......
Since then, Huaxia has completely lost Annan.
It has also completely lost the opportunity to expand its territory to the Indochina Peninsula and face the Indian Ocean......"
Speaking of this, Han Cheng couldn't help but feel full of regret.
If Zhu Zhanji dies and does not retreat, and can pass through Annan a little better in the future, the impact on future generations will be immeasurable!!
What a pity!
His retreat made Huaxia never have a chance to enter here again.
Lost a lot, strategically important places!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Zhanji's retreat, he also felt unwilling.
What a pity!
As for why it was Zhu Zhanji who gave up Annan, not his son Zhu Gaochi who gave up Annan, Zhu Yuanzhang can also understand.
A lot of things happen step by step.
The old four have been slightly Annan for many years, and it can't be that these policies will be abolished just after his death, right?
After experiencing an emperor in the middle, after a few years, or even more than ten years, if you give up here to Zhu Zhanji, you can also say that it is in the past.
"It's really not as good as a generation!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a bit of a sullen look.
"Your Majesty, don't say that, this Emperor Xuande is known as the existence of the Ming Hexagonal God of War."
Han Cheng hurriedly corrected the mistakes in Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
Hearing Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face couldn't help but twitch.
Ever since he was here in Han Cheng, after listening to the things about Wolong and Phoenix Chicks and Li Jinglong, the Great Ming God of War, he found that he had no way to look directly at these two words.
Especially the word God of War.
Han Cheng, this guy, is here to talk back and entertain himself!
"Han Cheng, let's say something well, don't always say the opposite."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and gave his opinion.
Han Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and reacted that he was Li Jinglong's sequelae, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood, this is the real God of War, not the other way around." β
"Really?" Zhu Yuanzhang will be skeptical.
"Really!" Han Cheng nodded vigorously: "I'll tell you about his heroic deeds, and you'll understand......"
