Emperor Hongwu in my eyes

There has been a very popular TV series in recent months called "The Ming Dynasty". The words of Zhu Zhanji, Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, "The sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers will always be there, and the country of the Ming Dynasty will always be there" has always echoed in the author's ears.

This scene depicts Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty going on a personal expedition, commanding the Ming army to fight against the invading Oara army, and giving a mobilization speech in front of the battle line to encourage the soldiers to fight bravely. Emperor Xuanzong was majestic, fearless in the face of danger, and commanded with control, which made people immediately respect him.

The author can't help but think of Emperor Xuanzong's great-grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. It was this "Huaiyou civilians" who led the heroes and worked tirelessly for more than ten years to drive out the barbarians and rebuild China. The sun and the moon shine again, the mountains and rivers are rebuilt, the majesty of the Han officials is restored, and the Ming Dynasty is created thousands of miles away.

In the past, Zhao and Song Dynasties were unruly, with treacherous prime ministers and unruly officials, and the people were in dire straits. It humiliates the country by submitting to foreign countries and seeking compromise. As a result, the Meng Yuan Dynasty invaded and occupied the Central Xia Dynasty, the land of Shenzhou sank, the sun and the moon were dim, the mountains and rivers were covered with dust, and the Han people were humiliated.

In the Battle of Yashan, our two hundred thousand soldiers and civilians fought with blood, but we could not turn the tide from falling, or support the building from collapse. In fact, when Meng Yuan's momentum was at its peak, it was beyond human power to stop it. There is no China after Yashan. Since the Yuan Dynasty came to control Zhongxia, it has been tyrannical and cruel, and treated the people harshly. Bullying my brother, raping my sister. People are divided into four classes: Han people are slaves, people are slaves, and I am fish and meat. There is nothing more miserable than this in the world.

The ancients said that "the barbarians have no luck for a hundred years", and it turns out that the barbarians are not benevolent and righteous, and their offensive and defensive momentum is different.

Inciting the Yellow River and the world to rebel, the Red Turban Army rose up, and the righteous flag pointed out, and the world responded. "Among the billions of trillions, the Holy Lord has arrived." I, Emperor Hongwu, rose from the wilderness and rose to prominence in the world. Attacking Chen Han in the west, Youliang was defeated. Expedition to the east against Zhang Zhou and the execution of Shicheng. My emperor is strong in Jinling, with well-equipped soldiers and food supplies, and is proud of the world.

Recommended by the public, respectfully accepted the destiny, and founded the Ming Dynasty. The Central Plains has not been restored, and the people are suffering. Our emperor sent troops to the Northern Expedition, aiming to drive out the barbarians, save the people of Sri Lanka, and stabilize the world. My king's division has attacked the people and attacked them. Wherever the troops come, they are invincible. Bianjing and Handan were recovered in an instant. The Yuan Lord was afraid of my might and took the initiative to withdraw from Dadu and fled to Mobei. Soon, Master Wang regained most of the capital, and major events were initially decided. After that, the two clans of Li and Zhang in Shaanxi and Gansu, Wang Baobao and other remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were defeated by our king's division, and the country became increasingly stable. Now that the mountains and rivers of the Han family have been restored, my emperor has made it clear to the world that revenge is not a priority. "Although the Mongolians are not of the Chinese race, they are born between heaven and earth. There are those who know the etiquette and are willing to be their subjects. Treat them equally, and live in peace with the people of Zhongxia in China." If there is someone who does not know the destiny, stubbornly resists to the end, and hinders my king's master Those who fled outside the Great Wall. This means that under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, Han and Mongolia are one family, and all ethnic groups are equal.

In terms of the great cause of the nation and the restoration of the country, Emperor Hongwu played the most important role and was truly a national hero. In terms of military theory, the Northern Expedition was accomplished without precedent or since. When reading history books, I am in awe every time I read this. Some people may want to criticize the author, saying that the above discussion is Han chauvinism and is not conducive to national unity. You may not have noticed, but what the author is discussing is history. At that time, the conflict between the Han and Mongolian ethnic groups was acute, which is an objective fact and cannot be denied. As early as the Revolution of 1911, Mr. Sun Yat-sen proposed the peaceful harmony of the five ethnic groups and the equality of all ethnic groups. Today in China, the fifty-six ethnic groups are one family and love each other. Regardless of each other, we are all Chinese. This is the reality. The concepts are different and cannot be compared.

Emperor Hongwu came from humble beginnings, grew up in hardships, and experienced the light of swords and shadows. Since joining the army, he has been diligent and eager to learn. Even if the war is fierce and dangerous, he still keeps reading. He is able to understand the Six Tips and Three Strategies clearly.

He also treats the virtuous and talented people, recruits talents, and strives for great success. Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others were dedicated to the cause of Ming Dynasty and made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Military generals such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, etc. are even more rare and can conquer military generals. Xu Da, the coach of the Northern Expedition. He led the Northern Expedition with strict discipline and no harm to the people. Our people also eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's master. My powerful force frightened the Yuan Lord and he abandoned the city and went north. Wang's army recovered most of the capital without any bloodshed. The battles in Lanzhou and Taiyuan annihilated more than 100,000 Yuan troops to consolidate the Ming Dynasty and eliminate the ambition of the captives to peek into the Central Plains and counterattack. General Lan Yu's expedition to Yunnan was also a triumphant song. The expedition to Mobei was overwhelming, defeating the Yuan army and nearly capturing the Yuan leader. The prosperity of martial arts will be remembered in history.

The powerful generals under my emperor's tent are like clouds, and the counselors are like rain. They all support me wholeheartedly and assist me with all their strength. Under the wise leadership of our emperor, the traitors were eliminated, the barbarians were expelled, the Central Plains was clarified, and the great cause of the Ming Dynasty was achieved.

Emperor Hongwu’s family was poor when he was young, and food and clothing were not available. Having traveled among the people for a long time, I am well aware of the sufferings of the people and the difficulty of maintaining success. Therefore, since he ascended the throne, he has been worried about dangers and worked diligently every day. I hope to benefit the people and stabilize the country forever. In the end, in the Ming Dynasty, "the emperor guarded the country, and the king died in the country." Until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army crossed the sea and captured Taiwan. Zheng Keshuang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and bowed his knee to Aixinjueluo. The King of Peace, Zhu Shugui, who was over sixty years old in Taiwan, knew that the situation was over, but he did not want to be humiliated and would rather die than surrender. He said to himself, "I will die with a full hair crown. I will live up to the emperor and my parents. I will be done with my life and have no regrets." Not only did he not dishonor the reputation of his ancestors, he also demonstrated the bloody nature of a man from the Han family and protected me as a Han man. The dignity of a family man. In fact, it is the inheritance of my Emperor Hongwu’s resolute character and strong will.

Standing at today’s historical height, when evaluating the ancients, we must seek truth from facts. Don't use your merits to cover up your faults, and don't use your faults to cover up your merits. There is no doubt that Zhu Yuanzhang was a feudal emperor and had his historical limitations. What we strive for diligently is to preserve the Zhu family name forever. And he was suspicious by nature. In his later years, he massacred heroes and created a literary prison. Jianjinyiwei practiced spy rule and was even cruel and murderous. All must be solemnly pointed out and severely criticized. But he is still a founding king and a heroic leader. In particular, the glorious achievements of "driving out the barbarians and restoring China" will never be tabooed.

Emperor Hongli of the Qing Dynasty once commented that Emperor Hongwu ""conquered chaos and pacified the people, and restored order to the ancestors of the Han Dynasty. "Although the Qing emperor's motive was to unite the war and calm the people, as far as the author's understanding is concerned, his above-mentioned evaluation is well-deserved.

The author sincerely hopes that I, the descendants of Yan and Huang, will remember the glory of our ancestors and build China The brilliance of civilization. We should work together and work hard to achieve the prosperity of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation, so that the sun and the moon will shine on the East Asian continent, and the mountains and rivers will shine with the glory of the Chinese civilization. The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will last forever, the Chinese culture will last forever, the Chinese holy land will last forever, and the Chinese nation will live forever.
