Chapter 1024: The Achievements of Emperor Taizu of Ming

"At that time, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty specially designed the 'Red Book and Iron Certificate' for the Ming Dynasty class, which is the golden medal of immunity from death that we know of.

At that time, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty wanted to have a good beginning and a good end with the ministers.

But things were different later. As the power grew, the people changed. They were no longer the same people as before. Everything had changed.

Later, when you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, discovered that the civil service group headed by Li Shanchang posed a threat to your imperial autocracy, you had no choice but to kill them.

So at the beginning, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty mainly targeted civil officials and had no intention of attacking military generals.

As you all know, Crown Prince Zhu Biao died young.

The successor that you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, have painstakingly cultivated for most of your life is gone.

Later, after much deliberation, you appointed Zhu Yunwen as the heir. But at that time, Zhu Yunwen was only a teenager. How could he suppress those old ministers? Who would obey him?

Moreover, you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, are old and have no time to train Zhu Yunwen, so you can only eliminate those military generals.

A large number of military generals, meritorious officials, and second-generation nobles were killed by you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, one of the reasons why Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was able to rebel so successfully was that all the powerful generals had been killed, and the court had no generals available.

Well, so many people’s impression of you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is that you killed meritorious officials indiscriminately in your later years and almost wiped out the entire court.

But you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, would never have imagined that Zhu Yunwen would be so useless," Li Wu shrugged. If Zhu Di had not successfully rebelled, she felt that the Ming Dynasty would not have lasted much longer given Zhu Yunwen's influence.

Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty sighed, saying that his life was full of suffering. The heir he had trained so well was gone just like that.

The ministers of the Ming Taizu period in front of the sky curtain all looked pale. They knew this situation before, but it was still very uncomfortable to hear it again.

They all followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world and could be said to be good brothers, but the ending was like that, which was indeed a bit disheartening for the Qin Dynasty.

They also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to kill them.

Upon seeing this, Empress Ma immediately comforted them. With Empress Ma's assurance and comfort, the ministers felt relieved.

Yes, the immortal gave them elixirs, so their lives can be saved. I hope the prince can live longer and longer.

Many emperors in the barrage also expressed that they could understand Zhu Yuanzhang's approach, but despite their understanding, there were still many people who scolded him.

"How could I know in advance? Besides, I am the founding emperor, so naturally I have to establish my eldest son as the heir. Who knows? If I establish someone else, no one will submit to me." Ming Taizu himself saw this clearly. He just didn't expect that his son would die earlier than him, and his grandson was a useless one who dared to treat his uncles like that. This made Ming Taizu so angry that his teeth itched when he thought about it.

Li Wu nodded and said, "That's true. In 1398, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty passed away in the Yingtian Palace at the age of 71. You lived a very long life.

This longevity isn't so good, as we see one person after another passing away."

In fact, the person who stays at the end is the saddest, because all the people he is familiar with are gone one by one.

When Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty heard that he had lived so long, he actually didn't care much about his lifespan.

"I have just briefly talked about your deeds, Emperor Taizu of Ming. Next, I will talk about your achievements and faults. There are still many of them, and they are also quite controversial." Many people think that Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is not as good as Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di, and that the Ming Dynasty was founded under Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di.

However, as the founding emperor, who came from a peasant family and had not received much education, he achieved such great achievements, which is indeed very good.

Moreover, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was very good to the people.

"Little immortal, please speak," said Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty with a very depressed look.

"Your major achievements include overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty, establishing a centralized system, restoring the social economy, and laying the foundation for the Ming Dynasty's political system.

In terms of political system reform, you abolished the prime minister system, abolished the Secretariat, directly controlled the six ministries, and achieved a highly centralized imperial power.

A three-department system was also established, with the Provincial Administration Commissioner's Office, the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner's Office, and the Military Command Commissioner's Office in charge of local administration, justice, and military affairs, strengthening vertical management.

Moreover, you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, established the Jinyiwei system, pioneered the secret service supervisory agency, and pioneered the factory and guard system of the Ming Dynasty.

Don’t mention it, the Jinyiwei are still very popular in our later generations, especially their Feiyu uniforms, which are super handsome.” Li Wu’s eyes were sparkling, thinking of the video she had watched before, it was true that Ming Dynasty Hanfu was really super beautiful.

The flying fish suit is also very cool.

The Jinyiwei in front of the sky curtain looked at each other, are they really that good-looking?

But looking at it this way, it does look pretty, but that's just the little fairy who thinks it looks pretty. When those people saw the clothes on themselves, they wished they had eight legs and could run away.

The Ming Taizu was speechless, wasn't it? Didn't the little immortal pay attention to this?

Forget it, whatever the little immortal cares about is what he cares about.

After all, the Jinyiwei are famous.

“Also, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of the war of unification and economic reconstruction, you completed the unification of the country, which took 22 years. You successively defeated separatist forces such as Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and launched the Northern Expedition to end the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.

You implemented the policy of military farming and organized the military and civilians to farm and reclaim wasteland. During the Hongwu period, the country's cultivated land area reached 850 million hectares, a four-fold increase compared to the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

There were also reforms to the taxation system, the compilation of the "Fish Scale Atlas" to measure land, the implementation of the policy of 30% tax and 1% light tax, and the issuance of Ming Baochao to standardize currency.

There is a lot to say about this Ming Treasure Note, I will talk about it later." Speaking of the Ming Treasure Note, Li Wu also looked at Ming Taizu specifically, but Ming Taizu did not show any expression.

"In terms of military affairs and border governance, you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, established the Weisuo system, with 329 Weisuo and 65 weisuo set up across the country, implementing a military management system that integrated soldiers and farmers.

He also led eight northern expeditions to Mongolia, dispatching generals such as Xu Da and Li Wenzhong to continuously attack the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and consolidate the northern border defense.

In 1381, after pacifying Yunnan, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty established a three-level administrative system of prefectures, states, and counties and implemented the chieftain system.

"I have finished describing your achievements, Emperor Taizu of Ming. Do you have any further questions?" Li asked, looking at Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu shook his head and said, "Little Immortal, please tell me what this Ming Baochao is all about." He thought that issuing this Ming Baochao was very good and there was nothing wrong with it. But when he heard the little immortal want to single it out, he knew that it was definitely not as simple as he thought.

"What can I say about this Ming Dynasty treasure note? It's worthless. There are too many of them, like wholesale, and then they depreciated all of a sudden," Li Wu said with his hands spread out.
