The Ming Dynasty * * * existed for 276 years, with 16 emperors. If which emperor is the most controversial, who has the most jokes? It must be the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang! He created the "Three Wonders" by himself. And behind every miracle, there are deep-seated reasons.
The first miracle: the only founding emperor in history who fought in the north and conquered the world. The greatest threat to the Central Plains dynasty always came from the northwest. At the same time, the Yellow River valley is the first developed rich area, which determines the phenomenon of competing for the Central Plains (France)!
Whoever can unify the north will have the hope and possibility to sweep the north and south and unify the whole country. Unfortunately, this iron law was broken by Zhu Yuanzhang. He unified the south first, and then swept the north in turn, creating a bright world.
Why is Zhu Yuanzhang so special? The surface layer is: Yuan Dynasty was the first dynasty established by non-Zhongyuan people. The weak place of rule is Jiangnan, so it naturally starts from the south. However, the deep-seated reason is that since the Jin Dynasty, the north has been badly beaten by Hu Hua-this is Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest historical contribution!
The second miracle: the most legendary founding emperor with personal experience. Zhu Yuanzhang is a beggar and a monk. He didn't want anything, but in the end he became emperor. Why did he have such a miracle? The reason is that the China Jedi fought back. (You can understand Sixteen States if you don't understand)
Before, both Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, as well as Zhao Guangyi, tried hard, but all failed. Zhu Yuanzhang's success lies in his thoroughness. Beg for a bowl, and do it if you are not satisfied with life and death. You don't have so many worries, which makes you look arrogant. His demands represent the common demands of the Han people.
From this perspective, it is to accumulate 500 years of grievances and fight back by the Jedi. Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin can sleep peacefully without any regrets, say Lu You who "doesn't forget the family sacrifice" and Xin Qiji who "swallowed Wan Li like a tiger in those days", or they can smile under the grave.
Miracle 3: the tragic feat of killing the founding of the People's Republic of China surpassed all the imperial courts, but it did not shake the foundation of Daming! Liu bang is so old, but he still has to sign the rebellious half-recruit king himself. If he doesn't go, he can't!
But Zhu Yuanzhang seems to kill whoever he wants, effortlessly. And those who were killed, regardless of whether they were super veteran Li Shanchang, prime minister Hu, or famous aquamarine, didn't even dare to resist, and the Ming Dynasty was not affected at all.
What's going on here? There is only one reason: Zhu Yuanzhang is a super monster who combines Liu Bang, Sean, Han Xin and even Xiao He. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun fought fiercely, but both were carrying out the grand strategy formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang. Liu Bowen's strategy is very powerful, but Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy is far-reaching than his. ...
This led to the early Ming dynasty, and there was no "super merit". Everyone is convinced of Zhu Yuanzhang, and everyone is afraid of him.
It is these three wonders that led to Zhu Yuanzhang being discussed and sorted out by later generations. So-called: Xu Da's roast goose, Liu Bowen's book, the skin of aquamarine, the fire of the Qing Palace ... Even Shen Wansan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, was recruited to fight Zhu Yuanzhang.
Second, Shen Wansan's True Story
When was Shen Wansan born and when did he die? Nobody knows. According to Wujiang County Records, Zhang Shicheng was dead when he ruled Jiangsu and Zhejiang. But in other historical materials, Shen Wansan was alive and kicking through Ma Huanghou and contacted Zhu Yuanzhang to build a wall for Zhu Yuanzhang. So the Nanjing City Wall has something to do with Shen Wansan.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang's original name was Zhu Chongba, the name Shen Wansan was also modified by later generations. A popular saying now is that Shen Wansan was originally named Shen Xiu.
But I think this should also be false. According to Dong Gu's Miscellaneous Notes on Bi Li, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the rich were also graded, namely, strange, abnormal, lang, official and show.
Pinocchio is the richest man at the bottom! Show, the highest level, the richest among the rich. Looking at the name "Shen Xiu" again, does it feel different? This is equivalent to a kind of honorific title, just as we always call Mr. Wang after meeting the great leader in the unit-it is the same meaning.
After learning the name of Shen Wansan, our book belongs to The Story of Shen Wansan.
According to the book "Leave the Sky", when Zhu Yuanzhang laid the foundation stone for Nanjing, Shen Wansan built the Nanjing City Wall in order to hold Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh, and also assumed Zhu Yuanzhang's expenses (how much money was needed for Mao Jun's food).
I thought it should be all right now, right? But Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on "exhausting all his gold" and draining all the property of Shen Wansan. At this point, Shen Wansan regretted it and cried with his brother in his arms: I regret not listening to you.
It turned out that his younger brother had written a poem, exhorting Shen Wansan that it is not a blessing to eat luxuriously, but also to rest on a golden plate. What is a long-term plan? A jar of wine and cotton. Obviously, it is to persuade Shen Wansan not to be so arrogant, and to keep a low profile can last for a long time.
Obviously, this exhortation poem should also be false and belong to the category of "chicken soup". The so-called "poverty limits imagination", and people who reach the level of "show" want to keep a low profile. Can't just spread more and more, spread more and more outrageous-I don't need to explain this? It was, and it is.
Therefore, in Zhang Dai's Ming Dynasty Que, Shen Wansan got a cornucopia by fooling with his rising posture.
In other words, Shen Wansan was poor when he was young. On this day, he dreamed that a man in Tsing Yi asked him for help. Shen Wansan didn't take it seriously when he woke up. Going for a walk after dawn, a fisherman came up and caught 100 more frogs to sell.
In an instant, Shen Wansan remembered the Tsing Yi people in his dream, took out all his money, bought all these frogs and set them free. As a result, the frogs around his house were deafening that night, which made Shen Wansan very angry. He went out after dawn, but to his surprise, a big wave of frogs was making noise around a clay pot.
Shen Wansan took the earthen bowl home, and his wife despised: I am a woman who would rather cry in a BMW than laugh behind a bicycle. How poor are you? Have you started collecting garbage? So I pulled out the silver hairpin on my head and threw it over: I'll give it back to you. I won't talk to you again. I'm going back to my mother's house!
Shen Wansan raised his hand to catch the silver hairpin with a clay pot and said, I'm not interested in money! But I didn't expect you to be so vulgar, so I set a small goal this year to earn at least 100 million yuan. You'll regret leaving!
Shen Wansan said as he took it out-strangely, there were two identical silver hairpins in the earthen basin. Blink of an eye, one after another ... The couple understood that this crock turned out to be a cornucopia. Thus, Shen Wansan embarked on the road to the south of the Yangtze River!
Isn't that amazing? Indeed! But in any case, it solved the problem of how Shen Wansan got rich. However, this statement is seriously unreliable after all, so is it reliable? Don't say, there is!
Third, make a fortune in a haunted house
That is to say, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a scholar named Lu Dao was found wandering to Gusu City. Because he couldn't afford a hotel, he found an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere and wanted to live here. It happened that the owner of the house was moving, and when he learned of his purpose, he said, I advise you not to live either. This house is very dirty. No, I'm going to take something and never come back.
Lu Dao secretly rejoiced and said: I was born with a strong yang and I am not afraid of dirty things. Since you don't want this house, can you sell it to me?
The owner sold his house to him at a very low price. That night, Lu Dao was reading a book when he suddenly heard the laughter of two women. Knowing that something unclean was coming, Lu Dao roared: Come in if you want, chat if you want, and don't disturb my study.
As soon as the voice fell, two beautiful women appeared, claiming that one was Daqing and the other was Xiaoqing. Then they laughed and flew out of the window. Lu Dao sentenced Ji Yan and told you not to bother me. Why didn't you listen? So he drew his sword and threw it at him. Ah, it hit a woman's arm.
Two beautiful women disappeared in an instant. Lu Dao sentenced to continue reading with a book in his hand. Lu Dao woke up the next day and remembered last night. No, my sword is still outside. After Lu Dao was sentenced to go out, he was stunned. Why is there blood? So I followed the blood trail to find the holly tree in the hospital. Lu Dao suddenly realized that it was you two.
Lu Dao found a hoe and planed the tree flat. The hoe struck the hard object with a clang. This is a slate. After the demolition, it turned out to be "full of yellow and white, and the land is there." I recommend it to be rich. " It's all gold and silver, and Lu Dao has made a fortune. ...
Because Lu Dao was sentenced to only one daughter, he later adopted a young man named Shen and soon gave birth to a son named Shen Wansan. In the end, "his assets are extremely sloppy and he has become one of the richest people in Jiangnan."
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang commanded Jiangnan. When he heard this, he was furious and said, "Rise in a haunted house?"? It's sheer nonsense, trying to kill people for money, but making up stories to deceive the world? So, "no official is too thin", Zhu Yuanzhang copied Shen Wansan's home. This story comes from A Brief History of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why this fantasy record is more reliable than that in the cornucopia is that the author always thinks that fantasy always serves reality for two reasons.
First, because of Lu Dao's judgment, there was a man in history who was a rich man at the end of Yuan Dynasty. Second, it was Lu Dao who decided to help Shen Wansan finally get rich! As for the beauty, it implies that Shen Wansan's house was finally robbed.
Shen Wansan has a son-in-law named Gu who has an affair with a beautiful woman. In order to get back at him, the beauty's husband falsely accused Gu of having dealings with Aquamarine when the Aquamarine case broke out. This is so funny. One is a general and the other is a rich man. How can Zhu Can make Yuan Zhang not impatient? As a result, Shen Wansan's family fell down ...
