The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

In the 14th year of Yongle, Zheng He sailed to the West for the fifth time.In this voyage to the West, in addition to visiting the countries that Daming visited before, there is another important task, which is to set off to find the American continent.

In order to find the American continent, they went to sea this time, but they made full preparations.Although Zhu Zhanji hopes that Zheng He can successfully find the American continent this time, it does not mean that Zheng He will really be able to find the American continent this time.Zhu Zhanji gave Zheng He three years, and if he did not find the American continent within three years, he would come back.Then, continue to search for information on the American continent, and set off to search after you have confirmed news.

Before Zheng He's fifth voyage to the Western Ocean, Zhu Di took Zhu Zhanji to another north expedition.At the beginning of the 14th year of Yongle, Wala and Arutai became dishonest again and repeatedly invaded the northern border.Naturally, Zhu Di couldn't tolerate Wala and Alutai provoking Daming, and personally led the army to go out again.

For this expedition, Zhu Di handed over the main force to Zhu Zhanji.Before, Zhu Zhanji captured Mahamu alive, allowing Zhu Di and the ministers to see his ability to march and lead troops to fight.In fact, during this expedition, Zhu Zhanji offered to take him as the general of the main force.

In history, Zhu Di died of illness on the way to the Fifth Northern Expedition.Zhu Zhanji didn't want this kind of thing to happen, so he decided to take on a heavy responsibility and let Zhu Di see his ability, so that in the subsequent Northern Expedition, he could lead the army alone without Zhu Di himself.

Zhu Di has always loved Zhu Zhanji, so he naturally satisfied his request.Zhu Zhanji did not disappoint Zhu Di either. In this northern expedition, the main force he led defeated Wala and Arutai.

Wala and Alutai saw the strength of the Ming army, became honest again, obediently surrendered to Daming, and paid tribute to Daming.

Zhu Zhanji felt that the repeated rebellion and surrender like Wala and Alutai were really disgusting.However, it is not the right time yet. When the time comes, they must be dealt with severely. It is best to drive them to Europe, so that they will not dare to covet the territory of Ming Dynasty for decades, or even hundreds of years.

At present, Daming does not have the ability to wipe out Wala and Arutai together, but Zhu Zhanji thinks that one can be wiped out first, and then the next one.

Arutai is weaker than Wala.Zhu Di ordered Zhu Zhanji to destroy Alutai first.

Zhu Zhanji still did not disappoint Zhu Di, not only killed Arutai, but also completely drove the remaining Tatar forces out of the desert, and beat them to Europe, and they did not enter the territory of Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Seeing that Daming had eliminated Alutai, Wala knew that he would be next, so naturally he would not sit still, but they were not Daming's opponents for the time being.In the past few years, he has been playing hide-and-seek with Daming in the desert.

Zhu Zhanji was not in a hurry, after all, he never thought that he would be able to wipe out Wala all at once.He has the patience to play hide-and-seek with Wala.In the 21st year of Yongle, Wala could not match Daming in the end.His end was the same as that of Alutai.

More than half of the remaining Oala forces surrendered to Daming, and a small part also fled to Europe.The Wala people who surrendered to Ming Dynasty did not treat them as leniently as before.

Zhu Zhanji knows that these people are insidious and cunning. If they are treated like before, their ambitions will only be rekindled.Therefore, these people were collected in the Central Plains, and they were strictly supervised, so that they did not dare to have any plans to make a comeback and invade Daming.

After solving the two most powerful tribes in Beiyuan, the remaining small tribes are much simpler.Without Zhu Zhanji's expedition, they obediently surrendered to Daming and paid tribute to Daming every year.

Without Wala and Arutai, the northern border of Daming became much safer.The people of Ming Dynasty no longer have to worry about Beiyuan's invasion.

In order to make the Mongols completely surrender to Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji also thought of a good way, which is to let the Mongols learn the culture of the Central Plains and let them know about etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame.Therefore, the imperial court sent many literati and students to various tribes in Mongolia to teach them the culture of the Central Plains.Not only that, the tribes in the Central Plains and Mongolia have also established trade relations, making the Mongols inseparable from the Central Plains.

By doing this, the tribes of Mongolia will be very obedient in the next few decades, or hundreds of years, and will always maintain a good relationship with Daming.

After solving Beiyuan's serious problem, Zhu Zhanji began to concentrate on dealing with the not-so-honest Japanese country again.

A few years ago, the country of Wa was feared by Daming

He has been obedient for several years and has not violated Daming at sea.However, in the past few years when Ming Dynasty went to Beiyuan, Wa Kingdom became dishonest again and kept harassing Ming Dynasty, especially in Zhejiang area.

Historically, Daming once thought about going to the Wa country, but because of various accidents at sea, he failed to go to the Wa country in the end, so he had no choice but to give up halfway.

In order to make the Wa Kingdom completely honest, Zhu Zhanji has not forgotten to prepare for the war against the Wa Kingdom in addition to being busy in the past few years.

Before going to Japan, Zheng He finally managed to find the American continent and brought the good things from the American continent back to Ming Dynasty.In addition to crops such as potatoes and yams, there are also rubber and minerals.

With rubber, there are just so many things you can do.Before going to Japan, Zhu Zhanji and Zheng He upgraded Ming's warships again.Of course, in addition to strengthening the combat capabilities of the Ming warships, it is also necessary to train the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers of several military battalions of Ming Dynasty, such as the soldiers of Shenji Battalion and Sanqian Battalion, they followed Zhu Di in the north and south, and had rich combat experience, but they had zero sea combat experience.

The reason why the Wa Kingdom is so arrogant is because of their geographical advantages on the one hand, and because they are good at sea combat on the other.

Over the past few years, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have finally been able to fight freely at sea after hard training.

In the 22nd year of Yongle, Zheng He led the soldiers to conquer the country of Wa.In fact, Zhu Zhanji wanted to personally lead troops to conquer the country of Japan, but Zhu Di disagreed.Only Zheng He was allowed to go.

Zheng He has a wealth of experience at sea and is also very good at leading troops in battle. It is most suitable for him to lead the soldiers to the Japanese kingdom.

Of course, it is impossible to succeed all at once when going to the Wa country.After three years of fighting this battle, the Wa Kingdom was finally brought to justice.The whole country of Wa surrendered to Ming Dynasty and paid tribute to Ming Dynasty every year.

This time, Daming beat Wa country very badly, which made Wa country not dare to invade Daming's sea area for the next ten or 20 years.

After the Northern Yuan was resolved and the great trouble of the Wa Kingdom was eliminated, the borders of the Ming Dynasty became completely peaceful, and the common people could finally live a stable life.

Without the hidden dangers at the border, Daming can rest and recuperate and develop the economy with peace of mind.

Over the years, the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty have been getting better and better.Although not every ordinary person can have enough to eat, the people on the seventh and eighth floors can have enough to eat.

Of course, other big things happened during these years.

The first thing is that Zhu Zhanji got married.

In the 15th year of Yongle, Hu Shanxiang was selected as the emperor's grandson concubine.

Hu Shanxiang has a gentle temperament, is smart and stable, and the most important thing is that she is not indecisive in doing things, and she is ruthless when she should.There is another important reason, that is, she will not blindly go along with Zhu Zhanji.Zhu Zhanji has something wrong to do. She will dissuade Zhu Zhanji. This is what Zhu Zhanji is most satisfied with.

The Sun family in history was obedient to Zhu Zhanji and doted on his son, so he taught a son who was wronged.

As for the Sun family, Zhu Zhanji had already rejected it.Seeing that he was dissatisfied with Sun's concubine, Zhang Mingzhen wanted Sun to be his concubine, but Zhu Zhanji refused.

Zhu Zhanji knew that it would be difficult for the Sun family who was rejected by him to marry, so he asked Zhang Mingzhen to find a good marriage for her.

Before Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang got married, the Sun family was married by Zhang Mingzhen.She married into a scholarly family and lived a fairly happy life.

The second thing is that Zhu Di decreed to move the capital to Beijing, and Beijing officially became the capital.

The third thing is that Zhu Di and Empress Xu died of illness successively.

Although Zhu Di did not die of illness during the Northern Expedition as in history, he died of illness in the 24th year of Yongle.

Historically, Zhu Di died of illness in the 22nd year of Yongle.Zhu Zhanji originally thought that he replaced his grandfather to go to the north, and Zhu Di would not die of illness like in history.Zhu Di did not die of illness in the 22nd year of Yongle. Zhu Zhanji was very happy, thinking that his grandfather should be able to live as many years as Queen Xu, but he did not expect that Zhu Di lived two years longer than in history.

Zhu Di suffered too many injuries when he was young. Although he was cured when he was young, the root of the disease remained.These root causes will not erupt when young, but will erupt in old age.

Jiang Wusheng has been taking care of Zhu Di's body, suppressing him

The outbreak of the root causes of the disease in the body, but Zhu Di has been going north all these years, coupled with his handling of political affairs by himself, made him seriously ill in Yongle at the beginning of 22.

He was seriously ill this time, because the roots of the disease left in his body all erupted in a violent way.Even Jiang Wusheng's medical skills are superb, but he is powerless.

Zhu Di died after three months of serious illness.Before he died, he announced that the prince Zhu Gaochi would inherit the throne.He was worried about Zhu Zhanji, and asked Zhu Gaochi to swear in front of his bed that Zhu Zhanji must inherit the throne in the future.

Even if Zhu Di doesn't order him, Zhu Gaochi will let Zhu Zhanji inherit the Datong in the future.

Before Zhu Di died, he told Zhu Zhanji many things. One of the things was that Zhu Zhanji must create the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, a prosperity that would not lose to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji swore in front of his bed that he would definitely create a prosperous Ming Dynasty.

The day after Zhu Di died of illness, Empress Xu also passed away.

Empress Xu was not sick, nor did she commit suicide, so she followed Zhu Di quietly.

After Zhu Di and Empress Xu died of illness, they did not disappear completely, but appeared in Zhu Zhanji's dream. This was what Zhu Zhanji did not expect, and it was also what Zhu Di and the others did not expect.

Zhu Gaochi was not too sad when he learned that Zhu Di, Empress Xu and Zhu Yuanzhang appeared in Zhu Zhanji's dream like them.

One more thing, when Zhu Di was seriously ill, Zhu Yuanzhang was finally willing to come to see him in his dream.

Over the years, Zhu Di has been looking forward to seeing Zhu Yuanzhang in his dreams, but Zhu Yuanzhang is so arrogant that he still doesn't want to see him.However, Zhu Biao often sees Zhu Di in his dreams.

Before dying, Zhu Di finally got the long-awaited praise from Zhu Yuanzhang, which made him die without regret.

After Zhu Di came to the throne, he did many great things, and these big things will be remembered in history.Not only that, he allowed the common people of Daming to live a stable life, and also allowed the vast majority of the common people to eat enough and wear warm clothes.

After his death, Zhu Di and Empress Xu appeared in Zhu Zhanji's dream.In Zhu Zhanji's dream, Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Biao had a very good relationship.

In the dream, Zhu Yuanzhang often disliked Zhu Di, and Zhu Di was no longer afraid of him, and he often argued with him.In short, in Zhu Zhanji's dream, they are all very energetic and get along very well.

The fourth thing is that Zhu Gaochi died of illness two years after he took the throne.

Historically, Zhu Gaochi died of illness less than a year after he ascended the throne.

In order to prevent Zhu Gaochi from dying of illness like in history, Zhu Zhanji has been asking Jiang Wusheng to take care of Zhu Gaochi's body these years, and has been letting Zhu Gaochi exercise his body.

Zhu Gaochi is not as fat as he was when he was young, but he is still a bit fat compared to ordinary people.When he was young, he had heart disease because he was too fat.

Because of the good maintenance, Zhu Gaochi's heart attack rarely occurs.Zhu Zhanji thought that he had changed his father's fate, and his father would not die of illness within a year after ascending the throne as in history. Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaochi only lasted one year longer than him in history.

The cause of Zhu Gaochi's death was a heart attack.He had a heart attack in the middle of the night, and it happened in his sleep.The attack happened quickly, and Zhu Gaochi died before he could call for help.When Li Liang found out, he was out of breath.

Seeing that Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi only lived one year longer than in history, Zhu Zhanji was very worried about himself. After all, he died of illness at the age of 36 in history.

Zhu Zhanji was worried that he would live at most one year longer than he in history, so he wanted to do everything he should do while he was alive.

He started to deal with political affairs before he got married, and he was busy with other things, so he had no time to have sex with men and women, so he married Hu Shanxiang, a concubine.Zhu Di and Empress Xu were naturally dissatisfied that Zhu Zhanji only married one concubine and asked him to be a side concubine, but he refused.

Zhu Zhanji felt that he had a lot to do, and he didn't have much time and energy to spend in the harem.Besides, having too many concubines is prone to accidents.He insisted on refusing to accept the side concubine, leaving Zhu Di and Empress Xu with no choice but to let him.

In fact, Zhu Di and Empress Xu finally agreed that Zhu Zhanji would only marry Hu Shanxiang as a concubine because after Hu Shanxiang married Zhu Zhanji, he gave birth to a son for Zhu Zhanji.

In history, Hu Shanxiang was deposed by Zhu Zhanji because he did not give birth to a son.

dismiss.In reality, Hu Shanxiang gave birth to two sons for Zhu Zhanji within four years of marrying Zhu Zhanji.After that, she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins to Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji named his eldest son Zhu Qirui.He was worried that Zhu Qirui would misuse the country like Zhu Qizhen in history. After Zhu Qirui was full moon, he asked Empress Xu to raise him and teach him.

Empress Xu is also willing to raise and teach her great-grandson herself.Although Zhu Qirui is not as smart as Zhu Zhanji when he was a child, he is very smart compared to other children.

Zhu Qirui was taught very well by Empress Xu.After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he was canonized as the crown prince.

Zhu Zhanji used the way Zhu Di taught him back then to teach Zhu Qirui.Let Zhu Qirui go to the folks like he did when he was a child, and experience the people's feelings in person.

Zhu Qirui's performance did not disappoint Zhu Zhanji. After experiencing the people's feelings among the people, he knew the burden on him and became more diligent and studious.

After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he issued a series of policies to benefit the people, which not only made the lives of ordinary people better and better, but also made Daming's economy more and more prosperous.In the fifth year after he ascended the throne, he created the prosperous age of Ming Dynasty, a prosperous age that was not inferior to Datang at all.
