When Zhu Yuanzhang was very young, he thought that the landlord was herding cattle for a living. Later, in order to survive, he entered the temple at that time and became a monk. At that time, there happened to be uprisings in various places, and the people opposed the tyrannical rule of the Yuan Dynasty. After staying in the temple for a period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang resolutely joined the ranks of the rebels. It was at this time that he met his future wife, Ma Huanghou. Ma Huanghou's father is the leader of a rebel army. He admired Zhu Yuanzhang so much that he married his daughter and gave him all his uprising strength after his death. Zhu Yuanzhang also lived up to expectations, and finally stood out from all the uprising troops, defeated Chen Youliang, became a generation of emperors, and established the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he strengthened political centralization. Because he grew up in the countryside when he was young, he knew the influence of corrupt officials on the people, so he attached great importance to official management and vowed to eliminate corrupt officials all over the world. In criminal law, Zhu Yuanzhang established the principle of heavy punishment for felony and light punishment for misdemeanor. Economically, Zhu Yuanzhang also vigorously rectified, changed the chaotic monetary and economic situation in the Yuan Dynasty, and achieved stable and coordinated economic development. At the same time, he paid attention to tax reduction, which greatly reduced the burden on the people and finally created the prosperity of Hongwu rule. This is a brief introduction to Zhu Yuanzhang's life
Zhu Yuanzhang made extraordinary achievements in his life, but he was also very suspicious, and many officials were afraid of him. Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in the Ming tombs after his death, and later generations paid tribute to him.
Where is Zhu Yuanzhang from? Zhu Yuanzhang was the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also known as Zhu Chongba, a native of Ming Taizu and Han nationality, and also a famous politician and strategist in ancient China. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, an uprising broke through the imperial capital and ascended the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang's queen is the famous Bigfoot Ma Huanghou.

So where is Zhu Yuanzhang from? According to the relevant materials and written records left by the ancients, we know that Zhu Yuanzhang is now from Fengyang County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. People in Fengyang county may not know it, but people in Xiaogang village must be very clear. Xiaogang Village is a village in Fengyang County. Fengyang Flower Drum is also well known. It is said that this Fengyang Flower Drum was begging in the street when people in Fengyang County had a hard time at the end of Yuan Dynasty, and then the girls danced this dance to gain sympathy. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was very sad after seeing it. Later, in order to make his hometown prosperous, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to set the capital here, but ministers tried their best to stop it, but the moat and related cities were also built in half.
Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang used to be a monk for a while, so where did he become a monk? It is his hometown Longxing Ancient Temple in Fengyang County, and it is also a famous scenic spot and national scenic spot in Fengyang County. Zhu Yuanzhang's parents were also buried in Fengyang County, which is now Ming Taizu Mausoleum. A song handed down in Fengyang County begins with "Fengyang Road Fengyang is a good place, and it has been rich for nine years since Zhu Yuanzhang was born ten years ago". From here, we also get the answer where Zhu Yuanzhang came from.
Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard all his life. Even when he became emperor, he was one of the most diligent emperors and made outstanding contributions to the development of Fengyang County in his hometown.
Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, led the rebel army to finally break through the palace at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and become a generation of emperors. At first, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a boy herding cattle, but in the end he became a generation of emperors. What is Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait like?

Zhu Yuanzhang's portraits are usually after he became emperor. Of course, there are some portraits of leading soldiers in the war during the uprising, but there are no photos of him when he was young. A generation of emperors is absolutely not allowed to hang pictures of themselves herding cattle for future generations. There are two main kinds of portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang. In the first portrait, Zhu Yuanzhang wore the clothes of the Ming emperor, and his robes were very imposing. But his appearance is really a quick-talking monkey face, and his face is very thin and dark, which gives people a very uncomfortable feeling at first sight. This is because Zhu Yuanzhang himself is very suspicious and strict with officials. He even whipped his minister in court. Although his officials are relatively clean among the people, the existence of the Royal Guards makes people's lives uneasy, so people's impression of him is moody and tyrannical, so everyone can understand his portrait.
The second is that Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting in a dragon robe, with a round face and rolling body, giving people a very peaceful feeling, as if he were an old man next door. This painting shows people's respect for him. Zhu Yuanzhang paid attention to the management of officials and gave the people a politically clear and economically prosperous living environment, so this kind of painting was better.
No matter what Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait is, it is imagined by later generations according to various descriptions, and it is not the real him. We must comprehensively evaluate him from all aspects of information.
How did Zhu Yuanzhang die? Everyone is curious about how the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang died. As the founding emperor, he did something that no one else had done and made immortal contributions. So how did Zhu Yuanzhang die? Next, I will introduce in detail how Zhu Yuanzhang died.
The picture shows a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in 1328, and everyone called him Chongba. When I was a child, my family was poor and I used to be a cowherd. But he was different from others since he was a child. He has always been the king of children and has a strong opinion. Zhu Chongba has been struggling on the edge of poverty. Later, there was a plague in my hometown, my parents died, and the rest of my family were forced to flee. Chongba lived in an era when people were in poverty, and the demise of the Yuan Dynasty was a matter of time.
Later, in order to make a living, he began to become a monk, but after eating monk rice for 50 days, he was forced to leave the temple and beg in the street. Because the people have no food, no one supports monks, and temples can't afford monks. After three years of wandering, he returned to his original temple. At this time, Zhu Chongba experienced various hardships, his thoughts changed and his temperament became suspicious.
There are rumors among the people that Wang Ming will be born, and there are many uprisings all over the country. In order to start a career, he decided to become a soldier. At the age of 25, he began to participate in the Red Scarf Army Uprising. As a soldier for three years, he was honored as Wu Gong because of his outstanding performance and strong command ability. In the later period, Zhu Chongba rectified the military discipline, appeased the people, and gradually gathered the countries that had fallen apart to establish the Ming Dynasty.
When he became emperor, all kinds of things kept happening, and he tried his best to rectify Korea and Taiwan. His determination to fight corruption is particularly great, which is related to his poor birth. It is said that Zhu Chongba was not extravagant when he became emperor, and he often thought of the days of poverty. With his efforts, folk customs, people's hearts and economy gradually recovered, and Zhu Yuanzhang died of overwork.
Zhu Yuanzhang's year number Zhu Yuanzhang's year number is also called Hongwu. Since the Ming Dynasty, emperors have been called by their titles. The fame of Zhu Yuanzhang's title seems to be not as loud as Zhu Yuanzhang himself. Why? Next, I will introduce Zhu Yuanzhang's year number in detail.
The picture shows a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded to the throne for 4 1 year, which means that he joined the army at the age of 25 and became emperor in just five years. It is really incredible. Zhu Yuanzhang's life is legendary. He gained the throne in a short time. I think Liu Bang got the throne by fighting with bullies all the way, but his throne contains too many unknown secrets.
His title was created when he proclaimed himself emperor. His title is Hongwu, so he is also called Emperor Hongwu. 1368 is the first year of Hongwu. Since the beginning of the pacification of the world, it has begun to worship officials and seal Hou. The meritorious people who followed him in farmland sealed Hou's land, and the people who died in battle built temples to chase him. In the same year, the Imperial Palace of the Yuan Dynasty was forced to flee to Mongolia, and the Ming Dynasty was formally established.
Hongwu is not only the title of the year, but also the title of the emperor. It is called the rule of Hongwu because of its good governance during his reign. Living at the bottom of society, he knows what the people really lack: corrupt officials are taboo to people's livelihood, floods often affect people's lives, the country needs to recuperate initially, and the people are too poor to pay taxes.
Zhu Yuanzhang started from these places. He reduced taxes for the people for three years, which made them actively cultivate land. He also encouraged the people to dig ditches to avoid floods, and the number of ditches opened during his reign was amazing. He cracked down on corrupt officials. As long as he finds out who is bending the law, whoever is light will be beheaded, and whoever is heavy will be punished by Jiuzu. With fewer corrupt officials, the economy has gradually prospered. He did a good job in the early stage, but in his later years, he was afraid that his kind grandson could not suppress those heroes after his death, so he killed them all and put himself in danger!
