Editing history: the opening inventory of the top ten emperors

Many people have said that there is nothing new under the sun.

When translated, in fact, history is actually a circle.

He will continue to cycle.

It sounds as if this remark is completely correct, for example, the world's major events must be united for a long time and must be divided for a long time.

But in practice, this is not accurate.

Because history is constantly moving forward.

But all culture and writing can be inherited.

That means that the times are actually moving forward.

Why did the Qing Dynasty not have a few Mingjun in the past dynasties, but it lasted for so many years?

Think about so many massacres, think about so many corrupt officials, and the ignorance of the Manchu Eight Banners.

And so on a series of things have happened in history.

Even many empires collapsed for just one reason.

For example, the aristocratic children of the Ming Dynasty could not meet the tax revenue of even a large province in the later period, which dragged down the finances.

why?

Because the Qing Dynasty really absorbed the essence and brought the feudal despotism of all dynasties to its peak.

This is the progress of the system and history.

Of course, the introduction of alien species actually plays a role.

But the system must be constantly improving, because of the inheritance of culture, future generations can continue to stand on the shoulders of their predecessors, seeing higher and further.

As for the Yuan Dynasty, one of the reasons why people feel suffocated is that.

He never regarded himself as the ruler of the Central Plains.

This is completely different from the Qing Dynasty. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty had a very simple understanding of this piece of China, that is.

colony.

Land of fish and meat.

Other than that, there isn't much else.

So they can divide races into four classes.

Mongolian Yuan first class, outsiders second class, northerners third class, southerners fourth class.

Is this strong class system completely opposite to Confucian culture?

Because people in the Yuan Dynasty did not believe in Confucianism at all.

It's a cultural blow, if you look a little at the rest of history.

You will find another problem, that is, such a hierarchical system is very similar to the caste system in India.

Fortunately, the Yuan Dynasty only existed for 100 years, although the blow to Confucian culture was quite serious, and even many nobles were killed with blood on their heads.

But fortunately, only 100 years.

100 years is a long time, but a short time.

The 100 years in history seems to be a blink of an eye, but the real 100 years is the first gathering of that unspeakable organization in 1921.

Yes, just over a hundred years.

From the point of view of the senses, it seems that several centuries have passed, and it is still far away. It seems that that era is already extremely far away from us.

Actually?

But not far away.

And precisely because of this situation, the land of the Central Plains at that time, from the perspective of Confucian cultural inheritance, had reached a real critical moment of life and death.

If the alien invasion continues, the culture of thousands of years is likely to be broken at that time, even if it continues.

There will also be large-scale faults.

That is the death of a spirit.

But fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang appeared.

He is truly adhering to the Confucian culture, representing the sons and daughters of the Chinese people, the spirit of the Han nationality was born, and the rivers and mountains were rebuilt, so that the entire Chinese culture survived again.

Although what Lao Zhu did later was not very good.

But in any case, compared to the worse people behind, it is somewhat remarkable.

You said the back is not good?What's wrong?

Then I will explain to you in detail the situation of stereotyped writing in the dynasty and the literary inquisition in the Qing dynasty.

of course.

Just kidding.

So it is precisely because all these things come together that Zhu Yuanzhang appears great.

In fact, those thrilling battles, in the eyes of people, don't feel much anymore.

When standing in God's perspective, most battles can be attributed to two aspects.

The enemy is so stupid, I am so stupid.

Other than that it's gone.

So there is no need to state too much.

Having said that, in fact, most people already understand Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements.

In fact, perhaps many people have overlooked a place.

That is, Zhu Yuanzhang's Wenzhi.

There is no need to say more about Zhu Yuanzhang's martial arts, so what about Wenzhi?What is his standard in governing the country?

without any exaggeration.

Pretty awesome.

Unlike many previous dynasties.

It is an objective fact that the Tang Dynasty picked up the big leaks of the Sui Dynasty. The unification of the Qin Dynasty was also the survivor of Fen VI.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang took over.

Then the whole world is really a pure mess.

You feel outrageous at a glance.

Yangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times, so there should be no problem with this.

But in the third year of Longfeng, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Yangzhou at that time.

In Yangzhou, absolutely no one can guess how many people were left at that time.

Some people may say that there must be hundreds of thousands of households.

No matter how bad it is, there are more than a hundred thousand households.

But actually?
Eighteen households.

The whole of Yangzhou!People from eighteen households!

This is really hit to the point of extinction, isn't it particularly frightening?

I can't even believe that there are only [-] households left in such a huge Yangzhou?
But in fact, there may be many people who fled to the mountains, discarded their identities, and chose to be savages.

But the eighteen households are really too shocking.

And such situations abound.

From the perspective of the eye, it is almost the same.

Finances are also on the verge of collapse. Twelve of the chief secretaries in Sichuan and Hunan have been changed from states to counties, and counties have merged with each other, merging [-] counties.

This means that there was really no one at that time, and the finances were on the verge of collapse.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is not an ordinary person, even in such a situation.

He still pulled the whole Ming Dynasty up.

Promoting social development through immigration and land reclamation, thereby forming a good population flow, was a very good measure in the early Ming Dynasty.

It greatly accelerated the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

And dedicated to the reclamation of wasteland across the country, opening up fields, and ensuring taxation. Such a dilapidated world will eventually be a thriving situation.

In the end, the grain output reached 3000 to [-] million shi, almost three times the annual income of the Yuan Dynasty.

The development of agriculture has almost reached a whole new level.

Just such a person.

Do you think he can't govern the country?
If it is still not enough for him to govern the country like this, it can be said that basically no one can govern the country.

Afterwards, the military system and other systems were implemented, and the entire Ming Dynasty had reached its peak.

At least in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, he thought he could hand in a satisfactory answer, but.

Did he really not do the rest?

Is he really very kind to farmers?
This.

but not necessarily
