The weather in Zhu Yuanzhang's period

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, ethnic and class contradictions became increasingly fierce, and natural disasters occurred frequently, so poor farmers had no choice but to take risks. Zhu Yuanzhang brought it for dinner? Red scarf army? There were many capable people during the uprising, led by Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and Wu You, including Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Deng Yu, Tanghe, Mu Ying, Hu Dahai, Feng, Zhao Desheng, Geng Zaicheng, Gao Hua, Ding Dexing, Yu Tonghai, Zhang Desheng, Wu Liang, Wu Zhen, Cao, Kang Maocai, Wu Fu, Mao Cheng and others. The most important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang can pacify the world is that he can win the hearts of the people, respect Confucian scholars, know people well and be good at their duties, and not stick to one pattern.

Zhu Yuanzhang was able to become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty because of his strong self-esteem and timely self-confidence, which was related to Zhu Yuanzhang's birth environment. Zhu Yuanzhang grew up in an ordinary rural family, ranking eighth, also known as Zhu Chongba. When he was a child, Zhu Yuanzhang lived by herding cattle for the landlord. He is just a little cowherd. His father is not an official, so he is not an official second generation, let alone a rich second generation. He has no background and dependence, and basically relies on his own wisdom and the help of his friends in his future growth.

After years of hard work, he defeated Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and Ming Sheng, overthrew the fatuous Mongolian aristocratic Yuan Dynasty power group, and led his men to establish the Ming Dynasty from scratch. In the whole journey, Zhu Yuanzhang's character is also cold, decisive, suspicious and taboo; In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang's personality was extremely distorted and split.

There was a private visit by Zhu Yuanzhang incognito. It was very hot at that time, and Zhu Yuanzhang and his party were very thirsty. I met an old farmer selling watermelons on the roadside, so I bought some watermelons and sat under the melon shed next to me to quench my thirst. While eating, Zhu Yuanzhang chatted cheerfully with the old farmer who sold watermelons. They talked about many topics, including the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the current situation and some policies. In the chat with Zhu Yuanzhang, the old farmer hit the nail on the head and pointed out many shortcomings and deficiencies. Speaking of the depths, Zhu Yuanzhang kept nodding his head in agreement. ?

Judging from the tone and manner of the old farmer, he should be a scholar, and he is very knowledgeable and has a wide range of knowledge. He may be a hermit who lives here. Then Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear to him that he was going to take the old man to Beijing to help him govern the world. But the old farmer refused Zhu Yuanzhang's invitation, saying that he was a farmer and had no talent, so Zhu Yuanzhang didn't force him any more.

After Zhu Yuanzhang left, he ordered the execution of the old farmer. Mainly because the old farmer was very knowledgeable and made Zhu Yuanzhang feel threatened, but he could not be used by Zhu Yuanzhang. At the same time, melon farmers have keen political views and views on the world situation, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel very scared and scared. Since it can't be used by Zhu Yuanzhang, leaving this melon farmer is a disaster. Would rather kill by mistake than let go? So I arranged for the Royal Guards to kill this ignorant and talkative melon farmer.

This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang has the following two contradictory personalities.

First, self-confidence coexists with inferiority and fear.

We can learn from Zhu Yuanzhang's "Ming Taizu's Legacy". I believe that since ancient times, the establishment of the legal system has been initiated by the monarch. At that time, the law was fixed and people kept it, so kindness was applied to the sea and the people were safe and healthy. At the beginning of Gai's business, life was difficult, with many readers and familiar experiences. Compared with the Lord who grew up in the deep palace, he is not worldly; People who live in seclusion in the mountains are far from boastful elders. ..... The strength and cunning of wolves are hard to conquer, and I have conquered it; Civil unrest, lack of soldiers, treachery. It's hard to be together, and I've always been together. Zhu Yuanzhang's life has experienced many ups and downs, including his father in childhood, his wife in middle age and his son in his later years. In this case, all kinds of inferiority and fear were produced, which caused Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicious and distorted personality characteristics in the future.

Second, impetuousness, betrayal, oversensitivity and true temperament coexist.

Zhu Yuanzhang was impetuous and disloyal to Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Aquamarine, Liu Bowen and other founding ministers, but he also showed tolerance for talents. It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious, self-abased, overly sensitive, and his heart was extremely complicated and changeable, which led to the indiscriminate killing of innocent people and rivers of blood. Although his wife Ma Huanghou was abused, he really loved him. Ma Huanghou gave birth to five sons for Zhu Yuanzhang (Prince Zhu Biao, Qin Wang Zhu Shang, Jin Wang Zhu, Yan Wang Judy, Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi). Before he died, he advised Zhu Yuanzhang not to kill innocent people. After Ma Huanghou's death, Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken. In order to show his commitment to Ma Huanghou's true love, Zhu Yuanzhang really decided not to set up a queen. The Hu case and the Aquamarine case almost wiped out the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, indicating that Zhu Yuanzhang's character has two sides and presents two extremes.

Zhu Yuanzhang thinks this melon farmer is eloquent and resourceful. If he is used by my Daming, it will be a blessing to the country. If he is the enemy of my Daming, the consequences will be unimaginable. So Zhu Yuanzhang felt threatened and killed it to avoid future trouble.
