Chapter 226: Zheng He Goes to the West
On this day, Zhang Yanxi didn't do anything else, just pleasing to the eye, looking at this handsome robot guy, cooking, working, and ghostly her, she also ordered a few glasses on the Internet, glasses frames, and chains, imagining that it was a beautiful thing!
……
"Good morning, everyone!"
Queen Dugu: Good morning, Miss Zhang!
Queen Ma: Good morning, Miss Zhang!
Wu Zetian: Good morning, Miss Zhang!
……
"Today is the ranking of the fifth and sixth emperors, I don't know if there is a candidate in everyone's mind? Let's talk about the sixth emperor today! ”
Yongzheng: It's hard for others to guess, I can guess one or two, this first emperor doesn't have to say that it must be the first, these two, three, four, I think it's Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Tang Taizong, and Ming Taizu, the ranking is not clear, these five or six positions, I think it's Han Gaozu and Yongle Emperor, which is fifth and which sixth is not easy to rank!
Liu Bang: I think you Yongzheng is carrying the brand of the Qing Dynasty, you are stronger than that Kangxi, and you have spoken a little bit of a standard several times!
Yongzheng: Han Gaozu looked high!
Zhu Di: I also think that I can be on the list, then this Yongzheng Emperor does have some truth, I don't know if my old Zhu is six or five, I think I should be sixth!
Zhu Yuanzhang: It's also quite good to rank sixth, I am in the top ten in the two, not bad, really good!
Liu Qi: Then did my big man enter three, this really gave the big man a long face!
Cao Cao: Amazing! If this Yongzheng is right, isn't this big man into three!
Yang Jian: This big man is really strong!
"Emperor Yongzheng is actually right, it's just that he is not sure of the ranking, so let's talk about the sixth outstanding emperor - Yongle Emperor Zhu Di."
"This emperor, everyone also knows a lot, so it's mainly about merit."
"Emperor Yongle is also a controversial emperor, in your eyes, the emperor's ability is to see merit, although Zhu Di has had it, but the merit is greater than the fault, this is glory."
"And what about our future generations, although merit is very important, there is a more important thing, that is, "legacy", why I often call Zhu Di the Emperor Yongle instead of Ming Chengzu, this stems from Zhu Di's achievement "Yongle Dadian". ”
"The Yongle Festival is an achievement of Zhu Di, which has left a strong mark on the historical research and cultural heritage of future generations."
"The Yongle Canon" brings together seven or eight thousand ancient and modern books, covering a wide range of content and knowledge, and Zhu Di's original intention of collecting the "Yongle Canon" is to highlight the national prestige and benefit future generations, and this masterpiece has indeed realized its own value and completed Zhu Di's ideals and goals."
However, Zhu Di left more than one "legacy" to future generations. ”
"Renovating the Great Wall" is another contribution made by Zhu Di during his reign to the country of flowers for future generations.
"We all know that the First Emperor built the Great Wall, but in fact, most of what we saw in Kyoto that day was the "Ming Great Wall", that is, the Great Wall that Zhu Di renovated during his reign, and the workload was several times or even dozens of times that of the First Emperor's construction. ”
"If it hadn't been for that, maybe all we would have seen was broken rubble and windswept dust."
If Qin Shi Huang "gave birth" to the Great Wall, then Zhu Di is the character who raised him as an adult. ”
"Secondly, it is the Grand Canal, I said when I introduced the second generation of Emperor Yang of Sui, this Grand Canal was blocked in a short time."
Although Zhu Di's original intention was to allow the food and materials to be transported to BJ smoothly and quickly, this move not only achieved this goal, but also played a vital role in the economic development and cultural exchanges between the south and north of the flower-growing country. ”
"These three points are mainly about the impact on future generations, if you want to say that the emperor ranks, look at the merits, this Guangwu Emperor and Yongle Emperor must be replaced, Yongle Emperor's pass, there are still a lot, if you look at the "inheritance", then Zhu Di is no problem to rank sixth. ”
"Let's talk about the policies of Zhu Di's administration."
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he built the capital in BJ, and almost forgot about this, and the "Forbidden City" left by Zhu Di is also considered a "heritage". ”
"After ascending to the throne, he began to conquer Mongolia to consolidate the position of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, occupy Annam, and expand the territory of the Central Plains."
"At the same time, major reforms have been made in the bureaucratic system to make the situation more stable."
"We'll have a good chat about the war or something, and I'll summarize it first."
"Zhu Di's biggest policy should be diplomacy."
After Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne, he continued the civil "sea ban" policy during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, and restored the management of the three cities of Mingzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou, and opened the door to overseas countries to welcome tribute from all countries to the Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhu Di stipulated that "all vassal states send envoys to the court, and they all meet them with sincerity, and those who come to the market with local goods will listen to their convenience." ”
"In addition to continuing the tribute trade, Zhu Di took the initiative to send Zheng He to the West to vigorously develop friendly exchanges and economic and cultural exchanges with Asian and African countries."
"Regarding Zheng He's statement that he went to the West to find Emperor Jianwen, or because Ming Chengzu preached the monarchy because he felt that his imperial throne was not glorious enough, I personally think it may be somewhat reasonable."
"But no matter what the purpose, the result of Zheng He's trip to the West is undoubtedly objectively and greatly promoting the economic and cultural development of the country and Asian and African countries."
"I now mainly want to talk about Zheng He's voyage to the West, and this history has also had a profound impact on later generations."
Zheng He's original surname was "Ma", born in Kunming Prefecture, Yunnan Province, a Hui ethnic group, and his ancestors believed in Islam for four generations. ”
"When Zheng He was young, he was captured when the Ming army invaded Yunnan, became a eunuch and was sent to the palace of the king of Yan to serve Zhu Di, the king of Yan at that time."
Later, King Yan raised an army and was martyred, and Zheng He went out with Chengzu, repeatedly made military exploits and was given the surname "Zheng". ”
Li Longji: I*! This is still a eunuch!
Cheng Yanjin: A eunuch has a great influence on future generations, it's hard to imagine!
"After Ming Chengzu ascended the throne, Zheng He was promoted to the rank of internal official and eunuch, and was ordered to lead a huge fleet to visit Western countries."
"There is also a reason why Zhu Di chose Zheng He to visit Western countries, otherwise he would not be a eunuch to visit various countries."
"Don't look at Zheng He as a eunuch, he has a lot of military experience, and he is brave and good at fighting, and Zheng He believes in Islam, which is more convenient to visit Islamic countries, after Zheng He entered the palace, he believed in Buddhism and Taoism at the same time after being affected."
"In the Ming Dynasty, it was mainly bounded by Borneo, and the east of Brunei was called "Dongyang", and the west of Brunei became "Xiyang". ”
"In this way, Zheng He was appointed as the envoy to the West, and led the mission from the third year of Yongle to the eighth year of Xuande, and went to the West seven times."
