Zhang and others, who revised the official history of the Qing Dynasty, commented that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, could finally achieve the imperial career: "The emperor was endowed with wisdom and courage and unified Fang Xiahe's classics, which was beyond the reach of the Han, Tang and Song emperors. At the beginning of creation, it can sink several changes and is easy to calculate. I tried to discuss the strategy of the world with the ministers and said,' I started in my hometown when I was in troubled times, and this picture is complete. Since crossing the river, watching what many heroes have done has only caused trouble to the people, especially Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang. Honesty depends on wealth, trust depends on strength, and I have nothing to rely on. But I am not addicted to killing, I believe in righteousness, I am frugal, and I am one with you. At the beginning of the stalemate with the two Koreas, Shicheng was particularly close. It's better to strike first. I trust my arrogance to my friends, but if I am sincere, I will cause trouble. If I am arrogant, I will not stay away, so I will attack my friends first. In the battle of Poyang, the loyal soldiers could not give gusu aid. If we attack Shicheng first, the west of Zhejiang will be strong, our friends will be empty, and I will be attacked between Scylla and Charybdis. Since Erkou set up the Central Plains in the north, the soldiers of Lu and Ciheluo first blocked the soldiers of Tongguan from taking Qin and Long. After the battle of Kutemur, Zhang Si refused to step down, but when they were in a hurry, they worked together and it was difficult to make a decision, so they took it by surprise and turned north. Yan Dou both lift, and then the western expedition. Zhang He is absolutely poor. They can win without fighting, but they can still resist unyielding by expanding their image. Before the order came to Yandou, there was a sudden fight, and the outcome was unknown. "Emperor talent thick, expected the enemy to win, rate. So we can eliminate disasters and chaos and win the world. It is no coincidence that' the latecomers of Heaven come to the top'. "

Zhang, who revised the official history of the Qing Dynasty, commented on Zhu Yuanzhang's lifelong career: "Praise: Taizu became emperor in fifteen years with his wisdom, his ambition to save the country and the people, his heroic scene of taking advantage of the trend and carrying forward the past into the future." The prosperity of cloth clothes and the loss of the sea have not been seen since the Western Han Dynasty. The punishment of the Yuan government is not strict, and the governance is still grim. However, Confucianism can be ruled by courtesy, ceremony and music can be determined, righteousness can be highlighted, orthodoxy can be respected, grace can win the country, bureaucracy can be ruled clearly, law and discipline can be cultivated, and the phoenix capital can be worshipped, which is the name of the later palace. Internal governance will be eliminated and official positions will not be allowed to interfere in politics. The five governments and six officials are at loggerheads, and the soldiers have ample food and clothing. Wu Ding is in trouble and peaceful, and Mao is physically and mentally hurt. As for Yashang Festival, listen to Cai Ziying's Return to the North. In my later years, I cared about the people and benefited them. When I was one year old, I tried to spend tens of thousands of dollars to repair the river pond to benefit farmers and prepare for drought. This descendant has been in business for more than 200 years, stressing the name of a scholar and being rich. Miao people have always been Mongolians, and they are still like East Building and White Horse. This is a tribute to the world. "

1On March 24th, 964, Mao Zedong made the following comments on the ruling ability of Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bang and Genghis Khan: "Don't look down on the country people." "Intellectuals are the least knowledgeable. Many emperors in history are intellectuals, and they have no future: Emperor Yang Di is a man who can write articles and poems; Chen Houzhu and Li Houzhu are both great poets. Song Huizong can write poems and draw pictures. Some country people can do great things: Genghis Khan is an illiterate country person; Liu bang, who doesn't know a few words, is a redneck; Zhu Yuanzhang can't read either. He is a cowherd. " [56][57][58][59] (Note: When Genghis Khan, Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang were emperors, their cultural level had reached the level of reading the memorial and signing orders. About the cultural level of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Historical Records, Hanshu and Zitongzhi Bamboo Slips are all mentioned [60]. As for Genghis Khan, Lu Ye Chucai, a famous minister in the early Yuan Dynasty, mentioned in the Record of Feng Xuan Celebrations that Genghis Khan could read the text himself.

Mao Zedong's evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Taizu's military talents is like this: "Since ancient times, Zhu Yuanzhang's ears have been second."

Zhao Yi once said: Gai Mingzu is a true emperor, a hero and a thief.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the only emperor in the history of China who really came from a civilian background (Liu Bangben was a small official at the end of Qin Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin was an ordinary general in Chai Rong, Zhou Shizong). ), from a monk to the Ninth Five-Year Plan step by step, his wisdom and perseverance are rare throughout the ages. Also because of the experience of seeing the world in cold weather, I hate corrupt officials and privileged classes very much. I set up a royal guard to prohibit officials from breaking the law and killing heroes to avoid the emergence of aristocratic families. Although he was rated as cruel and murderous, many emperors actually did it: the imperial edict of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, the official captain of Cao Cao and the internal security of Wu Zetian were all done by the Royal Guards; Song Taizu disarming soldiers with a glass of wine is no different from weakening powerful people.
