"At that time, Li Chenggui and Cao Minxiu had already rebelled against Goryeo, launched a rebellion on Waihua Island, and established their own new dynasty. This was the Lee Dynasty in history. Li Chenggui handed over the credentials of the Lee Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang."

"In the credentials submitted by Li Chenggui, he asked the "great king and father" to give him a citizen, but this is how the Li dynasty called Zhu Yuanzhang, and his tone was very courteous."

"Zhu Yuanzhang got up very early every morning to go to work and saw the sun just rising in the east, so he took the meaning of "the country of bright North Korea" and gave it the name "North Korea". Li Guicheng was very excited when he got Zhu Yuanzhang's reply."

"According to Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he planned to be beaten into obedience by all the small countries around him. He just named North Korea casually and planned to destroy North Korea after a while. But he didn't expect North Korea to be very well-behaved and obedient. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang let it go."

"Zhu Yuanzhang later listed North Korea as a "country that will never be conquered." The two sides demarcated the Yalu River as the boundary. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang randomly chose the name of a small country. After more than 600 years of development, it has now become the thorny country in Asia. It’s really unimaginable.”

"If we had destroyed this country, otherwise there wouldn't be so many things happening now. Maybe the territory of North Korea would be ours."

Liu Che: Well-behaved?You, Zhu Yuanzhang, actually think this Gaoli is well-behaved?
Zhao Kuangyin: All aliens should not be let go no matter how lowly they are!
Wei Qing: What are you fighting for in your life?Is it because we want to fight and kill for the sake of this country and everyone? You said that the Japanese navy is difficult to deal with, but you let Goryeo go?
Li Zhi: Those of us who are emperors don’t want to expand our country. As a military commander, the emperor only wants to get rid of his own threats, foreign races, and military are very important aspects, but he has given up.

Yongzheng: Ming Taizu still had abilities, but after ascending the throne, he only wanted to pave the way for future generations.

"In the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness in Yingtian at the age of 71. His temple name was Taizu, and his posthumous name was Kaitian Xingdao Zhaoji Li, the great sage, the most divine, benevolent, righteous, Wujunde, successful and high emperor."

Zhang Fei: ...what?What the hell is a posthumous title?
Liu Bei: I don’t understand why the third child doesn’t want you, who has such a long posthumous title!
Cao Cao: Who gave this title to Lao Zhu?It made me laugh so hard, haha!

Li Longji: Can't we simply have a brave emperor or a civil and military emperor?You have added all the titles you can praise yourself with.

"Zhu Yuanzhang's most important achievement in his life was to expel the barbarians, eliminate rebellion, save the Han nation, pacify the world, successfully restore the country, abolish the racial hierarchy and oppressive policies formulated by the Mongols, restore China, and lead the rejuvenation of China."

"From the village of Zhongli, which suffered from natural and man-made disasters and suffered from hunger and cold, until he ascended the throne in Nanjing, the path he and his civil servants and generals took was not just for the interests of private individuals and a certain class."

"As he said in his own words - I am a commoner in Huaiyou, and how can the world compare to me."

"Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented. He went from poverty to herding cattle for the rich. His family didn't even have two pieces of land. When his father died, he didn't have a burial place. He became a monk from his family and went to study and write. What a disaster."

"Zhu Yuanzhang has grown from a small grassroots to a king, and he has his own strengths!"

"He is also a ruthless person who kills meritorious officials and corrupt officials when he becomes famous! But he is still very humane towards the common people, and he is loyal to the common people."

"But in the later period, he went on a killing spree against hundreds of officials, and many famous heroes and generals died. This kind of practice of killing birds, hiding good bows, killing cunning rabbits, and cooking lackeys is the same as that of a tyrant."

"It was also because of his actions that his heir Zhu Yunwen failed in the end when he later confronted Zhu Di."

"He has a way of fighting and a way of running a country."

"After a summary, we will find that Zhu Yuanzhang was only violent towards officials and intellectuals. He punished corrupt officials and eradicated dissidents, but he never treated ordinary people badly." "The stricter he controls officials, the better off the people will be. This Although the words are absolute, the truth is indeed like this.”

"Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a farmer. He hated bureaucrats and knew what the people needed."

"For example, he once enacted such a law. When an official is inspected by the court, as long as the people plead for the official's grievances, the court will directly reinstate the official without saying anything."

"When an official is not recognized by the people, the people can directly escort the official to the capital for punishment. This system is unique in history."

"It was wrong for Zhu Yuanzhang to kill heroes, but he was also a good emperor who served the people."

"Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements in founding the Ming Dynasty and reviving Chinese civilization cannot be overestimated no matter how high he is."

"Although we later experienced the catastrophe of the Manchu and Qing dynasties, the cultural power and ideological resources gathered by the Ming Dynasty in the past 300 years have provided a more solid and resilient framework for the progress and development of our country's civilization."

"After all, the culture of the flower-growing country still has hope to restore the independence and strength of its own culture, and it is possible to make its own contribution to the truly diversified and balanced development of world culture. Without the cultural accumulation of nearly 300 years in the Ming Dynasty, our country would have been in disaster. It may be even earlier.”

"Ranked fourth, I agree. It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang has always been criticized for killing heroes."

"Zhu Yuanzhang is too complex and multi-faceted. It is really difficult to evaluate him."

"Historical books of later generations often describe him as either an angel or a devil. We later generations do not represent you ancients. You still have to evaluate Zhu Yuanzhang's merits and demerits yourself."

"Generally speaking, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is hated by officials and scholars because he is a peasant, uneducated, and brutal and indiscriminate."

"Lu Xun, a later writer, hated him extremely, saying that after he turned from slave to master, he "killed Han people more powerfully than Mongols."

"But among the people at the bottom, there are many fans for generations. They think that he is a wise king who has great talents and great strategies, fights against corruption and makes decisions for the people."

"Even Kangxi, the arrogant king, had great respect for Ming Taizu even though his ancestors had taken away his family's empire. During his six southern tours, he would visit the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty when passing through Nanjing, and he would kneel three times and kowtow nine times. .”

"In front of Lao Zhu's tomb in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, there is still a large stone tablet with the four characters "Government of the Tang and Song Dynasties" written in Kangxi's handwriting."

"With all due respect, although there is some pretense, there is certainly no lack of sincerity and sincerity."

"Based on the basic historical facts, Lao Zhu did have his "sins", which are difficult to be forgiven by later generations of historians."

"There are too many "imperial men" who try to excuse them with such bland words as "it was all smeared by the former Qing Dynasty." It would be too disrespectful to the records in the imperial books."
