Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a civilian, and finally achieved hegemony! Is he a real version?
First of all, birth
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in an out-and-out peasant family with a relatively low class. At that time, the leaders of the Yuan Dynasty messed up the whole country. These nomads fought fiercely, but the management of the country was in a mess. Zhu Yuanzhang was born under this background.
1.? Interesting name
The name Zhu Yuanzhang was acquired after joining the rebels. At first, it was not a name, but Zhu Chongba, a person with a strong local flavor. His father has no education and has been a farmer all his life. He doesn't know a word, so he can only give his son a numerical name. Since he ranks eighth, let's call him Chong Ba.
But do you think Zhu Yuanzhang is such a casual name? No, his father's and grandfather's names are also numbers. Those who don't know think this is a master of mathematics. His father's name is Zhu and his grandfather's name is Zhu Chuyi. Boy, there are numbers at home, but don't laugh at others. It was normal for their family to take such a name at that time.
2.? Family condition
In a word, poor. His father and his brothers have only one main thing, and that is to work for the landlord Liu De. Either herd cattle or plant all kinds of land. Cattle are not their own, and the land is not their own. I am an out-and-out wage earner. Moreover, the emperor had honestly herded cattle for Liu Degu for eleven years and farmed for eleven years. For Zhu Yuanzhang, it may be a lifelong account.
Two? Father died and was forced to become a monk.
The sky will change greatly, and all kinds of natural disasters will come one after another that year, which somewhat implies the decline and replacement of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's own father starved to death in such an environment, and then his mother and brother also starved to death. Want to know what it's like to watch your loved ones starve to death. Is Zhu Yuanzhang angry at this time? He must be angry, but he has no condition to be angry at the moment. One is how to solve the problem of your own hukou, and the other is how to solve the problem of the burial of your parents and brothers. He decided to go to the landlord Liu De and see if he could give a cemetery. Liu De, as the landlord, is a vampire and refuses decisively. He also told Zhu Yuanzhang: I will pay you for your work, and I don't owe you anything. Now I want a piece of land. There is no way. The landlord's words are too mean. At least Zhu Yuanzhang's family worked hard for him all their lives and didn't care about old feelings. Finally, the neighbor saw it and kindly gave it to a cemetery.
After burying his parents and brothers, he had to consider his own life. After all, he wanted to eat, so he decided to become a monk in a temple. In our eyes, monks are all beings in the universe, but monks in that era were all beings in the universe? There is no such thing. Monks in the temple are all big fish and big meat, with many wives. The old monk is a master elder brother, nothing like a monk. Under such circumstances, when Zhu Yuanzhang came, he was destined to do two things, that is, do the most chores and cook the worst vegetarian food.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang only thought about how to have a mouth to eat, and as for the rest, he also forgot. Was there a rebel army? Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang understands that this is an act of losing his head. Does he dare? That's not true. If the uprising is reckless, it is meaningless. If Zhu Yuanzhang did this, he would never become an emperor. He felt that he needed a chance, at least to ensure his life. During this time, he met countless supercilious eyes and saw all the ugly faces in the world, and his heart was already very strong. This strength is also one of the factors that can succeed in the future.
Third, the background of tyranny and uprising in Yuan Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty really didn't know much about managing internal affairs, probably because of different cultures, so their policies looked wonderful. Judging from their policies, bandits have entered the village instead of dominating the whole country. This is the difference from the Qing dynasty, which knew how to seek common ground while reserving differences, while the rulers of the Yuan dynasty did not.
To what extent was the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty? Import and export peace tax, rest and unemployment tax at home, killing chickens at home and killing chickens, etc. They basically have all the taxes you want anyway. If you do this, you will not be able to rule. It is estimated that you want to run for decades, but you really can't understand a series of operations of their rulers.
Fourth, Zhu Yuanzhang was forced to rebel.
Although there are many insurgents outside, his old friend Tang still follows a man named. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a monk, but Tang thought Zhu Yuanzhang was very talented and took him with him. Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose to leave after reading the letter, but burned it silently. At this time, the senior brother in the temple suddenly told him that you are finished, and someone reported you. Zhu Yuanzhang's head is big. He just took a look and did nothing, but if he stayed here, he would die. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang was forced to take refuge in Tanghe.
When Zhu Yuanzhang first came to the uprising army in Guo Zixing, he was Guo Zixing's bodyguard, so he was easily appreciated. Zhu Yuanzhang was very talented. He often gave Guo Zixing good ideas, and he rushed quickly during the war. After winning the battle, all the materials seized were turned over to Guo Zixing, and Guo Zixing's rewards were all given to the soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation in the army became higher and higher. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so capable, Guo Zixing promoted him all the way and married his adopted daughter to Zhu Yuanzhang. This adopted daughter was later a nobleman of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was jailed. He took a hot scone to see Zhu Yuanzhang, knowing that the scone just baked was hot on his chest.
However, this group of rebels is a rabble. They were originally insurgents mixed with landlords and peasants. Different class contradictions soon emerged, and the two factions began to fight with each other without any tricks. Seeing this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that this group of people could not achieve great things, so he decided to leave Guo Zixing.
Summary: Zhu Yuanzhang's name is actually very delicate. Zhang was a sharp weapon, and Yuan was the Chao Yuan at that time. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition after taking part in the uprising is actually nominal, that is, to replace the Yuan Dynasty. After so many ups and downs in front of him and being born in the bottom people, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is strong enough to walk more calmly in the future.
