The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 467 Zhu Yuanzhang's Past and Zhu Chongba's Childhood
【The fourth day of the fourth month in 1351 AD.】

[Tuotuo did not listen to Cheng Zun and others’ opinions]

【Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty also formally approved the river management.】

[An imperial edict was issued to the whole country, appointing Jia Lu as the Minister of Works and the General Envoy for River Defense, and mobilizing 150,000 civilians from 13 routes in Bianliang and Daming, and 20,000 garrison troops from 18 wings in Luzhou and other places to serve.]

[Work started on April 22, dredging was completed in July, water was released into the old channel on August 29, boats were allowed to pass in September, and the work of plugging the mouth began.]

[On November 11, the woodwork and earthwork were completed, and all the dams and dikes were built. The entire construction period was only 190 days, and Jia Lu completed his plan of dredging and blocking at the same time, dredging first and then blocking, and successfully completed the river control project.]

[The construction period was short and the effect was good. The river disaster that had been causing harm for seven years was eliminated.]

[Later generations further commented on him: "In ancient times, those who were good at talking about rivers were Jia Rang of the Han Dynasty and Jia Lu of the Yuan Dynasty."]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"Ugh……"

Liu Che sighed to the sky!

"I'm in urgent need of such talents!"

A master of water conservancy.

This is more precious than the prime minister!
Second only to Zhuge Kongming!
……

[However, river management is very expensive]

[The wooden stakes, cattails, bamboo poles and other materials used cost a total of 1,845,630 ingots of Zhongtong banknotes.]

[This almost exhausted the Yuan Dynasty's already insufficient treasury.]

……

{Cold knowledge: one ingot in the Yuan Dynasty was equal to fifty strings of cash}

{Cold knowledge: According to statistics, about 27,000 wooden piles were used in this river control project}
{666,000 elm and willow branches, 7,335,000 bunches of cattails and weeds}
{625,000 bamboo poles, 2,000 boats of broken stones, 57,000 ropes, 127 sunk large ships, and countless other reed mats, bamboo strips, iron wire, iron anchors, large needles, etc.}
……

[While Jialu was taming the river, the White Lotus Sect leader Han Shantong and others seized the opportunity]

[A one-eyed stone man was carved and buried in Huanglinggang in advance, and a folk song was spread: "The stone man has one eye, stirring up the Yellow River and the world to rebel."]

[On the first day of May, Han Shantong, Liu Futong and others led 3,000 White Lotus sect members to kill white horses and black cows and start an uprising.]

[They claimed that the leader Han Shantong was the ninth-generation grandson of Emperor Huizong of Song and should be the emperor.]

【Liu Futong is a general sent from heaven to assist Han Shantong.】

[The rebels wore red scarves on their heads and red clothes, and were called the "Red Scarf Army."]

[The Yuan Dynasty has become a rotten pear, waiting to fall with a tremor.]

[Liu Futong called for a hundred responses, and countless grassroots heroes from all over the country responded to the call and started an uprising, and most of China was in an uproar]

[On the 1352th day of the first lunar month in , five powerful people including Guo Zixing and Sun Deya from Dingyuan, Anhui Province, took advantage of the White Lotus Sect to start an uprising, also using red scarves as their symbol, and "all their clothes and scarves were crimson."]

[Tens of thousands of nearby farmers "abandoned farming, took up knives and weapons" and went to seek refuge.]

[On February 27, Guo Zixing and five other "controlling marshals" led the team to capture Haozhou in one fell swoop. The area where a temple called Huangjue Temple was located was also included in the sphere of influence of the Red Turban Army.]

【The gears of fate begin to turn. 】

……

On the canopy.

In the courtyard surrounded by a fence of branches.

Three low thatched houses are located here.

There is a small piece of land in front of the house on the right.

A part of the roof on the left has collapsed.

A baby cried "Waaaa".

A skinny, shirtless old man walked out of the middle room holding a naked baby.

"Second brother! Go outside and see if you can find a piece of cloth! You can't let your brother be naked all the time."

The boy who was weeding and squatting at the foot of the wall responded and ran out barefoot.

Soon, he came back with a wet rag in his hand.

"Where did you find it?"

"Floating in the river."

The old man didn't care about anything. He put the baby in the boy's arms and began to squeeze the water out of the rag.

The young man held the baby skillfully and looked down at the little wrinkled face which still had some red and wet stains.

He turned around and asked:

"Dad, what's your fourth brother's name?"

The old man wrung out the wet cloth deftly.

Then he took the baby from the boy's arms and wrapped it in wrinkled rags.

"Jungpachi."

"Zhu Chongba."

……

[On September 1328, , Zhu Wusi, who lived in a dilapidated thatched house in Dongxiang, Zhongli, Haozhou, got his fourth son]

[The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu, Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Chongba]

【Zhu Yuanzhang.】

……

{It's coming.}
{No, can't we just skip this part? It's a bit miserable.}
{Why is September 18 called Chongba? It should be called Jiuba.}
{He was called Chongba because he had seven older brothers of the same generation, including four cousins ​​and three biological brothers.}
{Just like Digimon, there are Chongyi, Chonger, Chongsan, Chongsi, Chongwu, Chongliu and Chongqi. Zhu Yuanzhang is the youngest, so Chongba is next.}
{One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, is it really that simple and crude?}

{The poorest of the poor! What do you think?}
{I just want to say that no matter how awesome a novel is, it wouldn't dare to give the protagonist a bowl at the beginning.}
{Without saying anything else, the fact that he recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun that had been lost for more than 400 years and drove the Yuan Dynasty back to the northern desert is enough to make him famous for generations to come.}

{No one can surpass him in obtaining the country in a righteous way!}
……

Daqin
The amount of information Ying Zheng received at once was a bit too much.

It took three or five breaths before I reacted...

With this family background, how could he become the founding emperor? !

Are you the reincarnation of Li Shimin?
So can you fight?

wrong……

Ying Zheng thought about it.

Liu Bang was a hooligan who did not do any work.

Liu Bei was a mat weaver.

Liu Yu was from a humble family and his love of gambling ruined his family.

The family backgrounds of these three people were not good either... As a result...

He raised his head and looked at the sky suspiciously.

Don’t you think he is also a descendant of Liu Bang?

……

Big man.

Liu Bang looked at the sky and understood something.

He hoped he was wrong.

但理智告诉他。

Things might turn out the way he wants.

"If that's the case... you're much more miserable than me."

……

Datang.

Li Shimin was a little confused by this statement.

Apart from Jin and Song, who else came to power in an unjust way?
Why is he unrivalled?
How can one become an emperor in the most righteous way?
To put it simply, your escape from a sea of ​​blood and corpses created a huge shock in the hearts of people all over the world, and everyone's intuitive judgment was that if they fought against you, they would die.

This is the most correct way to gain the world.

But there is another saying...

"To punish the criminals?"

Li Shimin referred to Emperor Gaozu of Han and finally came to this conclusion.

Only when the two are combined can it be said to be the most righteous way to rule the country, right?

……

Song
The depressed Zhao Kuangyin suddenly became energetic!
"Did they drive away the Mongols?"

"That's right! You are the most righteous emperor who has ever ruled the country!"

"Whoever says no!"

He hooked the Panlong stick under his feet with one foot and made a flower with the stick.

"Brother, let him see what it means to be invincible!"

……

The playback continued on the marquee.

Little Chongba began to grow up gradually.

I have never worn new clothes or new shoes.

When the adults went out to work, they would tie him to the table leg with a rope.

The little children were crying, sitting, crawling, eating dirt, and playing with their toes on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, little Chongba could walk and started to work.

Get up early to pick up manure, herd cattle during the day, and weave straw mats at night.

But when the moonlight rose high, his father came back from outside, and the family gathered together, little Chongba began to hold his face in his hands.

Looking at my father in the moonlight.

There was anticipation in his eyes.

The old father took out something wrapped in oil paper from behind his back as if he was offering a treasure.

Adults and children are looking forward to it. The oil paper is opened.

There were several pieces of braised meat with teeth marks, which were obviously eaten.

The children are cheering!

Xiao Chongba took the elm seed-sized piece of meat that he was given and licked it carefully.

The sister and brother beside him looked at each other and laughed, then gave the pieces of meat in their hands to Xiao Chongba.

Xiao Chongba cheered happily!

The two old men looked at them with a smile.

The cheers echoed in the moonlight.

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang covered his mouth from the moment he saw the beginning.

Although his eyes were red, he was reluctant to leave the sky even for a moment.

"Hmm, um..."

Shoulder twitching.

Tears welled up.

Waves of silent sobs came from under his palms.

He tried to open his eyes.

I don't want tears to blur my eyes.

He didn't dare wipe his eyes.

He was afraid that it would only be a moment and he would never see it again.

……

[From the beginning, no one knew what this new life would bring to the world]

[This child is like a blade of grass in the wild. One more blade is not too many, and one less blade is not too few.]

[His father, Zhu Wusi, barely made a living by renting land from landlords.]

[But this job has no future and can't feed the whole family. ]

[Whenever the family gathers around the table to eat, there is only a pitiful amount of food on the table.]

[The only time we had a good meal was when we begged for some unwanted braised meat from the landlord.]

[When Zhu Chongba was sixteen years old, his biggest dream was to marry the daughter of the landlord Liu family]

[In this way, he can give his honest parents a comfortable old age, and at least have something to eat.]

【But this is just a dream, just a dream. 】

……

On the canopy.

Fengyang.

People walking on the dirt road staggered.

Many of the young people sitting at the foot of the wall were so thin that their skin was wrinkled.

A group of children sitting under the shade of the trees had protruding joints, pale faces, and thin bodies, and their eyes looked even bigger.

But without exception, these people only have bulging bellies.

Following the scattered pedestrians, he headed north.

A familiar courtyard comes into view.

But at this moment, that warm scene is no longer there.

Only the young Zhu Yuanzhang and his older brother knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

……

[In 1344 AD, the sixteen-year-old Zhu Chongba fell into the deepest part of the sea of ​​suffering.]

[That year, the Yellow River burst its banks and flooded the north, but a drought unprecedented in a century also swept across Huaibei.]

[The Yuan Dynasty failed to fight drought effectively, which triggered the inevitable locust plague after drought. After the locust plague, there was a plague, which caused suffering in most parts of Anhui.]

[The Zhu family was not spared.]

[On the sixth day of April, Zhu Wusi passed away at the age of 64.]

[However, for the Zhu family, this was just the beginning of the disaster.]

[Just three days before Zhu Wusi's death, his eldest brother Zhu Chongsi had already collapsed. He survived for six days amid the crying of his mother and sister-in-law, and died on April 9th.]

[On April 12, my eldest brother’s eldest son passed away.]

[On April 22, my 59-year-old mother, Chen, put an end to this list.]

[Before this famine, my sister had already married]

[But my second sister-in-law, third brother, and third sister-in-law have all died of illness, and my second brother's only son also died young.]

[Now, the only ones left in the Zhu family are Zhu Chongba, his second brother Chongliu, and his eldest sister-in-law Wang and her two children.]

[Since he was born into this world, what Zhu Chongba felt most was the harshness of this world.]

【Only his family could bring him a little warmth. 】

【Now, even this little bit of warmth and affection is gone. 】

[After that, he seemed like a different person, becoming taciturn, cold and reserved.]

……

The emperors before the Ming Dynasty watched Zhu Yuanzhang and his brother, with a look of despair on their faces, pulling the bodies of their parents and family members with wooden boards.

For a moment, I felt a blockage in my heart.

Four close relatives starved to death, but it was only mentioned in one sentence in history books.

These are relatives of the founding emperor. The death of ordinary people is just a man-made disaster...

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty looked at the silk and satin on his body and thought about the delicacies he had eaten.

Everyone felt an unspeakable sense of guilt rising in their hearts.

It must have been such a painful and heavy blow for Emperor Taizu to watch his family members starve to death!

And we...

……

[Without a coffin, the two brothers could only find some old mats to wrap the bodies of their family members and prepare to bury them.]

【But the problem is, there is no land. 】

[Two people went to ask the landlord for a piece of land, but they were kicked out by the landlord. ]

[At this time, a rich farmer named Liu Jizu felt sorry for them and gave them a small piece of land.]

【The Zhu family can finally rest in peace.】

【Many years later, he was promoted to a higher position and his descendants benefited greatly from this.】

……

{Do good and accumulate virtue, and blessings will come to you}

{He was originally an ordinary but slightly wealthy farmer in Fengyang, Anhui Province, during the late Yuan Dynasty.}

{He would never have thought that the piece of land he gave to the poor young Zhu Yuanzhang would actually give his descendants a stable job that would allow them to share the wealth and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty royal family}
……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng nodded imperceptibly.

Liu Qi, who was standing by, hugged his knees and sighed:
"Liu Jizu must be a kind person, and this is probably just a small one among his countless good deeds."

"It's not insignificant, but it's a piece of cake for him, otherwise he must be really lucky."

"I am still inclined to believe that step-grandfather is a kind-hearted person and he deserves this kind of virtue."

Dou Yifang on the side also said:

"This Zhu Chongba is also a man who knows how to repay kindness."

"It seems that after becoming emperor, he was not eager to erase his poor past. Instead, he repaid those who helped him at that time with gratitude."

“It’s praiseworthy.”

Liu Heng sighed, stroked his beard and said slowly:

"I lament the virtue of the Zhu family."

"Based on the time interval, there was no cannibalism."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be a situation where one person starved to death every two or three days."

“When it comes to life and death, there are things you should do and things you shouldn’t do.”

"Although I have no knowledge, I have benevolence."

……

[Not long after burying my father, brother, nephew, and mother, my second brother also died]

【The sixteen-year-old Zhu Chongba became an orphan. 】

[The old lady from the neighboring family felt sorry for him and gave him some money to make a living at Huangjue Temple.]

[In this way, Zhu Chongba shaved his head and began one of the most famous experiences in his life]

【Become a monk.】

[There is no doubt that the sixteen-year-old Zhu Chongba experienced the destruction of his family and witnessed the fickleness of the world.]

[The young Zhu Chongba has completely changed]

[He is no longer the poor boy who just wants to eat, get married and have children. ]

He hated the landlords who oppressed the poor.

[Hate the Yuan Dynasty that ruled them]

[I hate this cannibalistic era even more]

【The flame of revenge began to burn in his heart.】
