Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 11 Emperor Yongle, blossoming on all sides

"Biao'er's health has been poor. Could it be that he will die young??"

"No! No!" Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang staggered, almost fell to the ground, and wailed, "My son!"

Zhu Yuanzhang watched his relatives pass away one by one, so he attached great importance to family affection.

But now, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly learned that his most valued eldest son, Zhu Biao, would leave him first. How could this not make Zhu Yuanzhang feel sad and painful.

But in fact, not long after Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, Zhu Yu, and third son, Zhu Bian, also died within three years.So Zhu Di, who was the fourth child, suddenly became the leader among the brothers.

The successive deaths of his sons undoubtedly dealt heavy blows to Zhu Yuanzhang one after another.

Looking at the words in the light curtain, Zhu Biao murmured softly: "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies, the fourth brother of Sheji, how brave! You are worthy of my Ming Dynasty royal family!"

"So, did I die before inheriting the throne?" Zhu Biao's character is kind and generous. He didn't have much resentment for Zhu Di replacing his son as emperor, but only felt sorry for his poor health: "Oh It seems that I am not destined to be the emperor myself."

[Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was a controversial emperor. 】

[Some people say that he expanded the territory during his reign, and he is a model of a generation of Mingjun; others say that he not only usurped the throne of his nephew, but also killed people like hemp, he is an out-and-out tyrant. 】

Qin Shihuang said with some disdain: "When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses! As an emperor, how could he not be stained with blood?" During the process of Qin's unification of the six kingdoms, Qin was indeed stained with countless blood.

"Blood?" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly, reminded of the glorious past and the unbearable past.His hands were not only stained with the blood of countless enemies, but also with the blood of his own brother!

[Let us get to know this controversial emperor today, and let us remove the mysterious veil covering Ming Chengzu! 】

With a bit of hazy background music playing, the video began to introduce the reasons for Zhu Di's rebellion in detail.
[Zhu Di, the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, was named the King of Yan by Zhu Yuanzhang in his early years, and he lived in Beiping. 】

[After Zhu Yuanzhang passed away and Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi came to the throne, in order to strengthen the central power, he adopted the suggestions of Huang Zicheng and others, and adopted an extremely radical policy of reducing the vassal. 】

[Zhu Yunwen cut off five vassal kings successively, namely: Zhou Wang Zhu Huan (deposed as a common man, exiled to Yunnan), Dai Wang Zhu Gui (deposed as a common man, placed under house arrest), Qi Wang Zhu Yu (deposed as a common man, placed under house arrest) ), Min Wang Zhu Wei (deposed as a commoner, exiled to Zhangzhou), Xiang Wang Zhu Bo (died by self-immolation). 】

[The reason why Emperor Jianwen did not attack Yan Wang Zhu Di and Ning Wang Zhu Quan is because they still have strong military forces. 】

[However, Emperor Jianwen finally attacked Zhu Di secretly.

It was just because the minister of the Ministry of War did not know who he knew, which led to the opponent's surrender to Zhu Di.

In the end, Zhu Di, who was forced to retreat and could not retreat, decided to rebel and launched the Jingnan Campaign in the name of "the side of the Qing emperor". 】

[Zhu Di first deceived the powerful army under King Ning Zhu Quan for his own use, and then with the assistance of Yao Guangxiao and others, he successfully seized power in just four years. 】

In Zhu Yuanzhang's world,

Standing beside Zhu Di, Zhu Quan couldn't help but glance at his fourth brother, there was something inexplicable in his eyes.

[After he came to the throne, Zhu Di knew that he was not in the right position, so on the one hand, he revised the "Records of Ming Taizu", and on the other hand, he used troops in the north to prove to the world that he, Zhu Di, was the true son of heaven who was ordered by heaven. 】

[Of course, the meritorious deeds of Emperor Yongle and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di are indeed extremely dazzling! 】

At this point in the video, the background music suddenly became exciting,
[After his second royal expedition to sweep away the mob teachers and returned to the court, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di said:

"The honor of our dynasty's national power is beyond the ancient times. It controls the northern captives, the west, the South Island, and the western barbarians. There is no marriage between the Han Dynasty, no alliance with the Tang Dynasty, no small coins for the year of the Song Dynasty, and no gift for brothers and enemies!" 】

[And all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did exactly what Zhu Di said! 】

As soon as these words came out, all the common people, civil and military officials, and princes and nobles in the parallel world were stunned!
"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really strong!"

"There is no kinship between the Han Dynasty, no alliance like the Tang Dynasty, no small coins like the Song Dynasty, and no gifts from brothers and enemies! What a Ming Dynasty! What a Yongle Emperor!!!"

"Tsk tsk. The Han Dynasty made a marriage, the Tang Dynasty formed an alliance, and the Song Dynasty accepted the age."

Zhao Kuangyin felt his face was on fire, let alone compared to the Ming Dynasty, his Song Dynasty seemed to be much worse than other dynasties
The alliance of the Tang Dynasty is regarded as an equal; the marriage of the Han Dynasty is regarded as a dwarf; but he is the only one who is born in the Song Dynasty.
At this point in the video, a picture suddenly appeared.

Before the thousands of troops and horses, a "general" dressed in military uniform and wearing a helmet rode a horse and slowly came to the front of the army.

[Military: Ming Taizu Zhu Di strongly advocated moving the capital to Beijing. Since then, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty "the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country".

At the same time, Zhu Di conquered Mongolia in the north, conquered Annan in the south, stationed troops in Hami, and defended against Japanese pirates. He expanded the territory from the east, west, south, and north directions, and consolidated the border defense of the country! 】

"Hey! This guy is so fierce!!" Liu Che couldn't help his eyes sparkle when he saw this, but then he asked in doubt: "Expand the territory from four directions? But the east and south are not the sea and the wild land ?"

The video quickly responded to Liu Che's doubts,

[Ming Chengzu Zhu Di has made many achievements, but the one who is most praised by later generations is sending Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, on seven voyages to the West! 】

[At the beginning, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once issued an order to ban the sea, but Zhu Di broke the restriction with great perseverance, and took the initiative to send more than 200 ships, including Zheng He, and a fleet of more than 2 people, to sail seven times to the West. 】

[Zheng He led the fleet from Nanjing, sailed to the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and visited more than 30 countries and regions. His fleet even reached the coast of the Red Sea and the southeast coast of Africa.

These voyages were also the largest series of sea circles and expeditions in history at home and abroad at that time,
And this also allowed the Ming Dynasty to establish a Huayi political system in Southeast Asia, demonstrating the Ming Dynasty's national power and military advantages to the outside world, and many countries surrendered and paid tribute.

It has truly achieved the coming of all nations! 】

"Indeed, Emperor Yong Le's achievement of sending Zheng He to the Western Seas seven times is unprecedented!" Xuan Ye nodded secretly, approving the contents of the video, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But now, it is not There must be no one behind!"

Although the Qing Dynasty tampered with Ming history in many places, it also deliberately discredited and vilified Zhu Yuanzhang and other emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

But it is undeniable that during the Yongle period, Emperor Yongle did accomplish many major events beyond the reach of emperors.

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, and there was a trace of solemnity on his face, "This guy is so powerful that he is only ranked eighth? It seems that my throne of the eternal emperor is still not stable."

[Opening the sea route is not just to show off force, in fact, sea trade is the fastest-growing of all transactions. 】

[The Song Dynasty was weak in force, but it was able to persist for more than two hundred years under the oppression of a strong enemy. The key was that they were "rich"! 】

[The wealth of the Song Dynasty can be said to be the highest among all dynasties, but why can they achieve the richest economy with the smallest land?The key lies in maritime trade! 】

[It is precisely because of this that later generations fully affirmed the feat of Ming Chengzu's sending Zheng He to the Western Seas seven times.

But what is disappointing and regrettable is that in the late Qing Dynasty, they closed their doors to the outside world, ruined their advantages, and finally ended up in the tragic situation of the Eight-Power Allied Forces invading the Qing Dynasty. 】

"The Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the Qing Dynasty!!!" Xuan Ye was stunned.
