Zhu Yuanzhang was born in an ordinary peasant family. /kloc-When he was 0/7 years old, a plague occurred in his hometown. His parents and brothers were killed in this disaster. The young Zhu Yuanzhang had to become a monk for food and clothing. Who knows that the monk is not good either, and soon the famine forced him to leave the temple and go out for alms. This outing can be said to have a great influence on Zhu Yuanzhang's life, which not only exercised his will and body, but also exposed him to some anti-meta-thoughts.

Shortly after returning to his hometown, introduced by his playmate Tang He, Zhu Yuanzhang joined the Red Scarf Army in Guo Zixing. Because of his wisdom and courage, he soon became Guo Zixing's confidant and married Ma Shi, Guo Zixing's adopted daughter. During Guo Zixing's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang constantly expanded his power and mastered a team that really belonged to him, so that Zhu Yuanzhang easily defeated Guo Zixing's son and gained control of the team after Guo Zixing's death. Zhu Yuanzhang was not satisfied with enough territory. If he wants to occupy this grand plan, he must have a stable base area, so Nanjing (Qing Ji) came into his sight. 1356, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Qing Ji and renamed it Yingtianfu, calling himself Wu Guogong. At the same time, we adopted Zhu Sheng's suggestion of "building a high wall, building a good relationship and becoming king slowly", and vigorously developed production, laying a solid foundation for a bigger war in the future.

Next, Chen Youliang was defeated in the periphery of Nanking, Chen Youliang's army was completely defeated in a bloody battle in Poyang Lake, Zhang Shicheng was destroyed in Zhejiang, Han Liner was killed, and Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were sent to the Northern Expedition. Destroy all forces one by one. 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtian, with the title Daming. In the same year, Yuan Shundi was expelled from Beijing.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), it adopted the policy of living in peace with the people, reduced taxes, promulgated the Daming Law, and stabilized social order. At the same time, the prime minister was abolished, the six-department system was implemented, the Yushitai was changed to the inspector's office, the guard system was implemented, the military commanders were separated from the military power, and a royal guard was set up to supervise the courtiers and the people. All these measures greatly strengthened the imperial power.

Zhu Yuanzhang's repeated imprisonment also left a strong mark in history. Heroes in Hongwu period, except a few such as Geng Bingwen, were all killed. In the Hu case, 30,000 people were killed, and another 1.5 million people were implicated in Zhu Yuanzhang's aquamarine case in his later years. So that in the battle of Jingnan, the Nanjing court had no generals to send. It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's enfeoffment of foreign princes and the killing of heroes directly led to Wen Jian's failure in the battle of Jingnan. 1398 In May, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, died of illness in Nanjing. He was in office for 3 1 year and died at 7 1 year.

Comments by Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang

Liu Bang started from a team of only 100 people, and finally defeated a much stronger political opponent and gained the fruits of the peasant uprising. During this period, he experienced a long road from failure to victory. This road to success always runs through a basic idea, which, in his own words, is "to fight for wisdom rather than strength", thus changing the historical view between Qin and Han Dynasties. It shows more that war is about winning people's hearts, talents, logistics and strategy ... it can't be solved by courage alone.

Comments on Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty

Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, was one of the famous feudal emperors in the history of China. Historically, he was both civil and military, open-minded and generous. He is good at fighting, winning more with less and winning by surprise. In the battle of Kunyang, most of ZTE's 28 th National Congress were promoted from junior officials, cloth clothes and ranks. He treats his ministers with "sincerity" and does not forget the past, but rewards and punishments are strict. Although the enemy will be rewarded, although relatives will be punished, such as reusing Zhu Bi who has a feud.

Guangwu was able to defeat the enemy in the war because he paid attention to strategy and had a keen political vision. In the unified war, he was good at using political offensives, such as announcing the release of slaves and prisoners, reducing taxes and criminal laws, in order to disintegrate the enemy and strengthen his own strength. He also pays attention to rectifying military discipline. As early as when he was the general of the regime of starting a new stove, he paid attention to restraining his subordinates to abide by military discipline, which was conducive to gaining more support.

After the national reunification, Guangwu can still be conscientious and diligent in political affairs. "Every time I look at the DPRK, it will clear up, and several officials will talk about the manager and get sleepy at night." The policies and measures he implemented not only safeguarded the feudal rule in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also safeguarded national unity and relied on the people to promote social and economic development. Ye Fan, the author of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, said: "Although I have made some economic achievements, my competitiveness is not as good as mine, so I can be cautious in the political system, take charge of the power procedure, measure my time and strength, cite my mistakes, and let the heroes retreat into the literati and disperse my cattle and horses. Although I am not in the past, I will stop my martial arts. " Sima Guang also said: "Every time the emperor looks at the DPRK, it is a day of mourning ... Although he is conquering the great economic cause and the world has been decided, he is retiring from his post and entering the literati. He is wise and cautious about the political system, in charge of power planning, measuring time and strength, and has done nothing wrong, so he can restore his former strength and lead to peace. " They fully affirmed the achievements of Emperor Guangwu after the reunification of the country. In his later years, although Emperor Guangwu was superstitious about divination, he announced that he divined the world. Demote Huan Tan and others, dare to remonstrate and refuse to remonstrate; But generally speaking, among feudal emperors, it is still commendable to maintain a cautious, serious and diligent attitude towards political affairs.

These comments have certain reference value for evaluating Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. Fan Wenlan, a famous historian in modern times, commented on Guangwudi as follows: "This Liu Xiujun, who is dominated by Nanyang strongmen, has political advantages and military strategies. Coupled with the prohibition of looting and winning the hearts of the people, this determines that it is bound to win. Liu Xiu is not only the representative of the landlord class, but also the sworn enemy of the peasant uprising army. But he also represented the common demand of society and completed the great cause of national reunification. He played a great role in the war to overthrow Wang Mang and the war to pacify the separatist regime. Therefore, he is a historical figure who made important contributions to the history at that time. "
