History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Hahahaha! That is to say, I remember that Zhu Di was number one in the world at that time, or several number one!

I can’t sleep at night (Guan): I totally agree! But I don’t know which ones are number one.
I send my love to the bright moon: It seems that few people have counted this, or I didn’t pay attention.

Who in the clouds sent me a brocade letter: Agree! Very much agree

Su Yue kept paying attention to the comment area and said: "How many firsts has Yongle created? Six in total!"

1: The country ranks first in the world in terms of land area.

At its peak, it reached 997 million square kilometers, reaching as far as Indonesia and controlling the entire South Pacific.

Two: The most populous in the world.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were 6500 million people. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 5000 million people. One dynasty controlled a quarter of the world's population at that time.

Three: The economy ranks first in the world.

At the beginning of the 16th century, all the silver in Europe at that time, without exception, flowed to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was far ahead in the world in terms of iron, shipbuilding, architecture, silk, textiles, porcelain, printing, etc., and its output accounted for more than two-thirds of the world's output!

Four: The military strength of the navy and army ranks first in the world.

Zhu Di ordered Zheng He to make seven voyages to the Western Ocean. More than 200 ships arrived in more than 30 countries and regions. Maritime wars never failed! The army put down the Japanese pirates, and the army expedition to Mongolia always dominated!

Five: The Ming Dynasty ranked first in the world in mineral production.

The iron smelting industry is developed, with mineral output reaching more than 9000 tons per year, a record that was only broken 200 years ago!

Six: The factory health organization of the Ming Dynasty ranked first in the world.

With a total population of 6000 million, there were 12 factory guards, which was second to none in the world at that time!
My charming, short-lived ancestor: Wow! That is to say, Zhu Di Niubi!

Wan Ning can't sleep acridine (Guan): But in Zhu Di's eyes, these are not enough. He is afraid that his father will be dissatisfied.

I send my longing to the bright moon: woo woo woo! Don’t use the family knife to kill me!

Wudu refused: If he really slacked off, he would not be the only Yongle Emperor in the ages. Isn’t there a conspiracy theory that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately let Zhu Yunwen ascend the throne just to sharpen the knife for the next emperor?
My charming but short-lived ancestor: It’s true, but I think Zhu Yuanzhang should be reluctant to part with it. After all, that's Zhu Biao's son.
I can’t sleep at night (Guan): Agreed! Very much agree!

Su Yue looked at their comments and said, "Okay, now let's take a look at the rule of Renxuan created by Zhu Di's children and grandchildren!"

The rule of Renxuan, also known as the prosperous age of Renxuan and the rule of Renxuan, was a series of policies adopted by Zhu Gaochi, Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, to relax the governance of the country and to calm down the troops and nourish the people, which led to the prosperity of the country. It was one of the three most prosperous periods in the early Ming Dynasty. Later generations referred to the Yongle period and the Renxuan period as the Yongxuan period.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the social economy experienced recovery and development in the Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle dynasties, and in the Renzong and Xuanzong dynasties, social and economic prosperity appeared.

After the death of Emperor Yongle, his son Zhu Gaochi and grandson Zhu Zhanji came to the throne successively as Ming Renzong and Ming Xuanzong. This period is considered to be the period when the Ming Dynasty had the strongest national power and the clearest politics.

During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, "Purchasing was stopped, grievances were redressed, tributes were paid, and property was distributed, and Pichi benefited the people."

Orders were given to stop the troops and raise the people, stop treasure ships from sailing to the West, and stop the royal purchase of jewelry and other activities.

These practices eased social conflicts, allowed people to recuperate, and developed productive forces, ushering in a stable and prosperous era. After Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, he quickly put down the rebellion of Han King Zhu Gaoxu, and continued the Ming Dynasty Renzong's philosophy of governing the country. He continued to reuse the "Three Yangs", calmed the army and nourished the people, implemented a heavy agricultural policy, relieved famines and punished corruption, so that the world was stable and the social economy developed rapidly. .

During the Ren and Xuan dynasties, the cabinet scholars Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu and Yang Rong were in charge of the government and made many achievements.

During their reign, the politics were clear, the laws and disciplines were strict, the economy developed, the warehouses were abundant, the people lived in peace, the society was stable, and there was a sign of peace, forming a peaceful landscape of peace and prosperity for the country and the people in the early Ming Dynasty.

Later generations called it the "Government of Renxuan", comparable to the "Government of Chengkang" in the Zhou Dynasty, the "Government of Wenjing" in the Han Dynasty and the Zhenguan Government in the Tang Dynasty.

In the tenth year of Xuande (1435), Ming Xuanzong died at the age of thirty-eight.

The imperial edict allowed the nine-year-old crown prince Zhu Qizhen to ascend the throne. The following year, he changed the Yuan Dynasty to orthodoxy and became the Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty.

In the fourteenth year of Zhengtong (1449), the Civil War broke out, and the rule of Renxuan ended.

My charming but short-lived ancestor: Well, maybe I’ve seen him too much and now I’m not interested anymore
I can’t sleep at night (Guan): I totally agree! "The Ming Dynasty" is so popular
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: Maybe it’s because I’ve seen too much!

I send my thoughts to you and Mingyue: I totally agree! Next!
Seeing their perfunctory behavior, Su Yue sighed and said, "Okay, okay, let's take a look at the next one, Hongzhi Zhongxing, who has countless controversies!"

Hongzhi Zhongxing refers to the short but glorious "ruling" that occurred in the Ming Dynasty under the governance of Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty.

Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was a benevolent emperor in the mid-Ming Dynasty. Due to his generous and benevolent political conduct, the Hongzhi Dynasty was characterized by many gentlemen and harmonious relationships between monarchs and ministers. This brought a good reputation to the dynasty. During his reign, Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty "renewed the common government." , the way of speech opened up", which changed the situation where traitors and sycophants were in power since the Chenghua Dynasty.

The early years of Ming Xiaozong's accession to the throne were a difficult year for the Ming Dynasty. There were floods in the Yellow River, earthquakes in Shaanxi, and national mourning, all of which were troublesome.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, he implemented a set of wise political measures: all sycophants who were close followers of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty were expelled.

So Wan'an, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Zisheng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Jixiao, the monk, were either killed, demoted, or expelled from the capital; those who were convicted of less serious crimes were demoted and exiled, or exiled to the border areas, or Xiaoling Sixiang.

Recruit a large number of upright and capable people.

At the same time, the laws and regulations were updated, the Salt Law was reviewed, and bad policies were abolished. The political clarity was praised by both the government and the public.

The most important measures taken by Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty in terms of domestic politics were to vigorously build water conservancy, develop agriculture, and prosper the economy.

In May of the second year of Hongzhi (1489), the Yellow River burst in Kaifeng. Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty ordered Bai Ang, the left minister of the household department, to lead 5 people to repair the breach. In the fifth year of Hongzhi (1492), the Susong River was silted up and flooded.

Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty ordered Xu Guan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to take charge of the governance, which took nearly three years to complete.

Since then, Susong has eliminated flooding and once again become a land of plenty.

Due to Ming Xiaozong's hard work, the Ming Dynasty once again prospered. The country's politics were clear, the economy was prosperous, the people were wealthy, and the world was well-off. This was one of the peaceful periods in the history of the Ming Dynasty when the economy was prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Therefore, later historians called it Hongzhi Zhongxing.

He himself is also known as the "Lord of ZTE"
