1, for well-known reasons
This is exactly what is recorded in the History of Ming Dynasty, mainly because when Tanghe pacified Fujian, he released Chen Youding's remaining party at will, harassed eight counties, and was attacked by mountain thieves on his way home, causing losses to the Ming army. That's why I didn't seal soup and become a duke.
To tell the truth, it's not a big mistake. Tanghe was the first person to pacify Fujian, and this flaw did not make Zhu Yuanzhang change his decision.
2, more is knocking.
Friends who have seen Ming history know that Tanghe is addicted to alcohol and always gets drunk. Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with this for many times until Tang said something he shouldn't have said:
Zhu Yuanzhang has always been suspicious and uneasy about the generals guarding the outside world. He has taken strict precautions, and Tang He dares to publicly declare that he has the heart of the opposition, and the consequences can be imagined. Later, when Tanghe woke up, he was surprised and ashamed, and his words had been exported, so he had to redouble his efforts to make up for it. I didn't get the duke. I have nothing to say.
3. The credit is still similar.
Tanghe contributed a lot, but compared with the Six Heroes, it was almost the same. Since ancient times, the standard of knighthood has been military merit. I think this is the main reason why Tang didn't become the Lord. We can look at it one by one:
Li Shanchang, a Korean public official, was regarded by Zhu Yuanzhang as a minister who made great contributions. In fact, he just imitated Liu Bang. Xiao He, the minister who made the first contribution to the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, is also a civilian. He has a great responsibility to provide logistical support for the war. Feng Gong have nothing to say;
Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, was the number one general under Zhu Yuanzhang. Xu Da was the leader of both the southern governors and the Northern Expedition Yuan. It can be said that he is the first person in Wulin, and he deserves his reputation.
Chang Mao, the Duke of Zheng, inherited the title of his father Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun was the first valiant soldier under Zhu Yuanzhang. In the battle of Poyang Lake, Chang Yuchun won every battle and saved Zhu Yuanzhang from danger. Other wars, big and small, have Chang Yuchun's figure, which is a brilliant achievement, and Chang Yuchun's untimely death made Zhu Yuanzhang miss him even more. Therefore, no matter his actual contribution or personal feelings, Chang Jia must occupy a place;
Cao Gong Li Wenzhong is the only relative of Zhu Yuanzhang among the six princes. Li Wenzhong is the nephew of Zhu Yuanzhang, who attaches great importance to family relations. Besides, Li Wenzhong is also a real success. He is famous for his wisdom and courage and has made great contributions to the war. After Chang Yuchun's death, he took over the position of Chang, and there was no difference at the moment, and the seal was acceptable;
Sheng Feng of Song State and Deng Yu of Wei State can be said together, because they are different from Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown or relatives, so they took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang with their team, which means that these two people are a little United. Judging from their military resumes, although their contributions are not as good as those of Xu and Chang, they are better than Tanghe, and even pork has to be given to these two brothers.
So what is the main contribution of Tanghe? In fact, Tanghe's greatest achievement was to pacify Fujian, which was also captured by Zhu Yuanzhang. Tang He participated in some battles more as a deputy. In the south, Tanghe successively guarded Zhenjiang and Changzhou, and had more dealings with Zhang Shicheng. In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, destroying Chen Youliang and driving out Meng Yuan was the greatest military achievement. Obviously, in these two exploits, Tang didn't play much role. Of course, after the storm, it was already a high reward, and Liu Bowen was just a private.
Later, Tanghe was brave after knowing shame, and became a real frontier peace Lord. The best thing about Tanghe is that he can survive from Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife first, and after his death, he was posthumously named the King of Dongou, Wu Xiang, posthumous title, and his descendants enjoyed this title (later Marquis) until Nanming. Living well and living long is the greatest blessing!
Tanghe, Zhu Yuanzhang's little friend who grew up together, even joined the revolution earlier than Zhu. Why didn't such a man of the hour with long experience, hard relationship and great contribution rank among the six great men of Daming? Where is he worse than others?
In November of the third year of Hongwu (AD 1370), Zhu Yuanzhang made great contributions in Nanjing, including 6 dukes, 28 marquis and 2 earl. The six dukes are Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Changmao, Li Wenzhong, Shengfeng and Deng Yu. As for Tang He, he was named Zhongshan Hou, ranking first among 28 Hou.
Of the six people, Li Shanchang was Zhu Yuanzhang's "Xiao He" and Xu Da was the first military commander in chief of the People's Republic of China. Their status is beyond doubt. Chang Mao is the son of Chang Yuchun. Because his father died of illness last year, he caught a loophole. As for Li Wenzhong, he is the nephew of Zhu Yuanzhang. Can be compared with Tanghe, namely Shengfeng and Deng Yu. In view of Deng Yu's ranking at the bottom of the six public figures, we will directly compare him with Tanghe, seeing that Tanghe is low and Deng Yugong is high.
From the comparison of qualifications, Tanghe is a Zhongli native of Haozhou (now Fengyang, Anhui). According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, he was a "fellow ancestor" and Zhu Yuanzhang was a small partner who grew up naked in an alley. According to historical records, he was "curious, playful, learned to ride and shoot, and lived in groups" when he was young. I think Zhu Yuanzhang at that time was also one of the "groups" behind Tanghe.
Deng Yu, formerly known as Deng Youde, was born in Hongxian, Sizhou (now Sixian, Anhui). According to the inscription in Zhu Shide Monument written by Zhu Yuanzhang, Jia Zhu was originally from Jurong, Jinling, then moved to Xuyi County, Sizhou, and finally settled in Zhongli Township, Haozhou. In this way, Deng Yu and Zhu are half villagers, but the relationship is obviously not as close as that of Tanghe.
In the 12th year of Zheng Zhi (AD 1352), Guo Zixing, a native of Dingyuan, fought Yuan in Haozhou. 27-year-old Tang He immediately joined the ranks of the rebel army, while Zhu Yuanzhang was still a monk in longxing temple. Relying on the bravery of fighting, Tanghe was promoted to thousands of households. At this time, he remembered his childhood friend Zhu Yuanzhang and wrote to ask him to join the army. In other words, without the invitation and recommendation of Tanghe, it is still a question whether the great monk Zhu Yuanzhang can survive in the troubled times at the end of Yuan Dynasty. Even if Mao rashly defected to the insurgents, it is hard to say whether he can become an account.
In the following years, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually emerged among the rebels and climbed to the top of Tanghe. At that time, the generals generally did not accept Zhu Yuanzhang and liked to show their seniority in front of him, but Tang He was always respectful to this childhood. As for Deng Yu, he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang in the 15th year of Zheng Zheng (A.D. 1355). But at that time, Deng Yu had tens of thousands of troops under his command, which was an important force in Zhu's army. In June of that year, Zhu Yuanzhang led an army to cross the river and attack Taiping House. Deng Yu and Tanghe are among them.
Conclusion: Tanghe is above Deng Yu in both the relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang himself and the time when he joined the rebel army. So, is it because the meritorious military service restricted the difference between the two men's final titles?
It is of epoch-making significance for Zhu Yuanzhang himself to compare the battle of crossing the river from the meritorious service. The battle of Taipingfu made Lao Zhu gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan. The heroes of this war are called Xu Da, Deng Yu and Tanghe in Records of Mao.
In the 16th year of Zheng Zhi (AD 1356), in March, Zhu Yuanzhang led an army to capture Qing Ji and renamed it Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). Since then, with Jinling as the core, Zhu Yuanzhang Group began to slowly expand outward. Among them, Deng Yu led the army to attack Guangde Road (now Guangde County, Anhui Province), and Tang He led the army and Xu Da to attack Zhenjiang House.
In July of that year, Zhu Yuanzhang was appointed as the book province and general manager of the Longfeng regime in Jiangnan, and set up the Privy Council in Jiangnan. At this time, Tang He's position was obviously higher than that of Deng Yu, because he was in charge of the Privy Council. Deng Yu is just a marshal, ranking below Hua Yunlong, Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng.
In March of the 17th year of Zheng Zheng (A.D. 1357), Xu Da led an army to conquer Changzhou. Changzhou is adjacent to Zhang Shicheng regime, and its geographical position is extremely important. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Tanghe to consult with the Privy Council and led the army into Changzhou, which lasted for seven years. "History of Ming Dynasty" praised Tanghe for "tight defense, and the enemy could not peep". "A Record" recorded many times that Tang He led an army to defeat Zhang Shicheng and his men.
In recent years, Deng Yu fought against the North, and the most important contribution was to help Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Wenzheng defend Hongdu (Nanchang, Jiangxi). The Battle of Hongdu was a turning point in the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang. After this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang Group was unstoppable, just like the rising sun.
In the 24th year of Zheng Zhi (A.D. 1364), in the first month of spring, the Longfeng regime made Zhu Yuanzhang king of Wu. The King of Wu opened the Ministry of Commanders and Envoys, the prefect's office and all the pro-guards in Zhongshu Province, which was almost the same as that of the emperor. At that time, Tang He's official position was Zuo Cheng, a book in grade two, and Deng Yu began to understand politics from grade two. In March of that year, Tang He was promoted from Yipin Pingzhang to politics, and his official position was far above that of Deng Yu. At the end of the year, Tang He left Changzhou and led an army to rescue Changxing. He attacked inside and outside Geng Bingwen and defeated Zhang Shicheng's younger brother Zhang Shixin. Deng Yu followed Chang Yuchun, leveled Fuzhou, Ganzhou and Anlu, and made Deng Yu guard Xiangyang to prevent Wang Baobao and his party from going south. As for Tanghe, together with General Xu Da, he conquered Pingjiang (Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province) and won Zhang Shicheng.
At the end of the 26th year of Zheng Zheng (AD 1366), Han Liner, the emperor of Longfeng regime, drowned on his way to Jinling. In the first month of the following year, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the title to the first year of Wu, and was officially ready to proclaim himself emperor. In October of the first year of Wu (A.D. 1367), Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, set up an empire, ranking first. Tanghe is the left suggestion and Deng Yu is the right suggestion.
At that time, although it was the eve of the founding of Daming, Zhu Yuanzhang sent an army to fight in the south and the north. The commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition is Xu Da, the deputy commander-in-chief is Chang Yuchun, and the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition is Tanghe. In that year1February, Fang Guozhen, who had been entrenched in Zhejiang for many years, went to Tanghe County to surrender. The army immediately went south to Fuzhou by sea and captured Chen Youding in Pingzhang, Fujian, in the Yuan Dynasty.
In the second year of Wu (AD 1368), on the fourth day of the first month, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Jinling, with the title of Daming Hongwu. In the case that Fujian has been leveled, Lao Zhu first mixed the soup and returned to Mingzhou (Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province) to build a seagoing ship to provide food for the Northern Expedition. Then ordered him to levy Shanxi from General Xu Da. As for Deng Yu, in the first month of the first year of Hongwu, he led his army north to Nanyang.
However, it should be pointed out that subtle changes have taken place in the status between Tanghe and Deng Yu at this time. In the second year of Hongwu (A.D. 1369), Chen Palace was completed, and the arrangement order inside reflected the position of the generals in Lao Zhu's mind at that time. Visible Deng Yu has been ranked in front of the Tanghe River. But in fact, Tanghe's contribution to the Northern Expedition was not under Deng Yu's.
In the third year of Hongwu (A.D. 1370), in order to completely pacify Wang Baobao, the Ming army launched a large-scale northern expedition again. Zhu Yuanzhang spent a lot of money this time, and Xu Da became the general of Lu, the left deputy general, the right deputy general, Deng Yu as the left deputy general and Tang He as the right deputy general. This list is exactly the same as the duke's ranking in the future.
In October of that year, the dead cave of Tanghe was moved by the army, and in November, it was the hero of Dafeng. Zhu Yuanzhang considered for a long time, who should be given what title, who should come first. At the same time, he emphasized to the generals that "all knighthood awards are up to me, which is fair and impartial." From the above, we can draw a simple conclusion. Compared with Deng Yu, Tang patriarch is not above it, at least not below it. Then why can Deng Yu squeeze into Qi Huangong and don can't? I think there are at least two reasons.
First, the contribution of Deng Yu and Tanghe is similar, so it is no problem to arrange which one to be the duke. But as Tanghe, putting him in the position of the first marquis is absolutely enough to shock the generals. If someone is not convinced, ask if their qualifications and merits can surpass Tanghe.
Second, Deng Yu is more loyal than Tang He. This sentence sounds like a joke. How could Tang He be unfaithful to Zhu? Let's take a look at Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of Deng Yu: "I have been obedient since I was a child and have been appointed repeatedly. Although I have been frustrated, I have no complaints. " Deng Yu once left Hongdu in a mess (not in the defense war), but Zhu Can tolerated it. For Tanghe, Zhu Yuanzhang has a severe criticism that "drinking and killing indiscriminately, not by the law, although there is credit, is not enough to cover it up." Tanghe has a very bad habit: drinking. Of course, the reason why he suffered a stroke in the future is also inseparable from this problem. Moreover, Comrade Shang Tang's wine is not good, and he likes to talk nonsense when he drinks too much. Zhu Yuanzhang has always had a bad feeling about a drunken gaffe when Tanghe was in Changzhou.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Tang He's telling the truth after drinking is dissatisfied with himself and intentionally disloyal. Even after eight years, Zhu gave a letter to Tang and the late Duke, but he still did not forget to beat his old buddy in the imperial edict.
The sentence "Yu Zhong You's promise" is harsh, and "promise" means dissatisfaction. It can be seen that Zhu has always been bitter about Tang He's drunken remarks. And "although I don't show it, my feelings are in my heart" is even more murderous, indicating that Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Tanghe has always been discounted. This is the real reason why Deng can rank among the six founding heroes, but Tang can't.
Conclusion: For a founding leader like Zhu Yuanzhang, how to reward and punish meritorious service fairly is a university question. The establishment of Daming is the result of the efforts of countless founding heroes. Some of these people followed their old brothers in the uprising, some surrendered by Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and some surrendered by the Yuan Dynasty. How to put a bowl of water flat is really a university question. As a result, Lao Zhu took Tang Ba, which not only solved the hatred in his heart, but also shocked the ministers, killing two birds with one stone.
After experiencing the blow of knighthood, Tang He probably knew for the first time that his former friends had such an idea about himself. Since then, in order to make up for the rift in the emperor's heart, Tang He has been trying to figure out its meaning for many years. He was the first founding hero to propose abdication in his later years. The last is caution, the second is getting sick in time, and the third is that the son-in-law died young and finally died in the Hongwu Dynasty.
On the seventh day of August in the 28th year of Hongwu (AD 1395), Tanghe died at the age of 70. When the news reached Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang "stopped looking forward and backward", made him the king of Dong 'ou, gave him a title, and made a statue in Gongren Temple.
Because after the founding of the Ming Dynasty and before the conferring ceremony, everyone thought that Li Shanchang was the first civilian and Tanghe was the first military commander. Tang He had a high prestige in the army. When Tang He was a soldier, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a monk, and when Tang He was a thousand generals, he was a groom. However, Tang He's mistakes in the war were ignored by Zhu Yuanzhang. It turns out that the founding military commanders of the Ming Dynasty were all too brave, such as Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Deng Yu, Aquamarine and Mu Ying. It also covers the achievements before Tanghe. Despite this, Tanghe's prestige in the military is still very high. After all, he has grown up. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tanghe and Li Shanchang got too close. Li Shanchang built the house, and Tang He arranged for his men to be soldiers to help build the house. This is not the taste of the wise emperor Zhu! One thinks he is the first civilian, and the other thinks he is the first military commander. If you two are together, do you do it or do I do it? If you two are tied together, who can do anything to you? Even Emperor Zhu Can can't take care of you. Only by separating them can Emperor Zhu feel at ease. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country needs to keep healthy. Li Shanchang is an expert in governing the country, and governing the country depends on him, not Li Shanchang. But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were not many wars. The point is that there were many generals who could fight at that time. Without you, there would be no Tanghe and military commanders. Besides, Tang He was defeated by Chen Youliang, so there is reason to suppress him. The point is that Tanghe often tells people that it is always Emperor Zhu who will be the groom. In this case, Tanghe must be suppressed to balance the state affairs, and Emperor Zhu Can can rest assured, so Tanghe can't be a six-hero. Because of this incident, Tang He learned to be smart and learn to hide his strength. In the end, Tang He was one of the few heroes who died a fair death under Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife!
Tanghe, one of the glorious sources of the Ming Dynasty, was also the youngest son and "revolutionary mentor" of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It was Tanghe who pulled his youngest son Zhu Yuanzhang into the Red Scarf Army ... But after the founding of Kaiyuan in the Ming Dynasty, Tanghe was only named Zhongshan Hou by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was not until many years later that he was named a loyal monarch?
Portraits of Xiang and Xin Guogong in Ming Dynasty and Eastern Europe
The reason given in the TV series Zhu Yuanzhang is that Tanghe and Li Shanchang are too close, but the fact is just the opposite. Tanghe has been deliberately keeping a proper distance from Li Shanchang! According to historical records, Li Shanchang once borrowed soldiers from Tanghe to "decorate" his home, which is also the plot that appeared in the TV series Zhu Yuanzhang. But in real history, the practice of Tanghe TV series is completely different. At first, I only gave a vague reply to Li Shanchang, and then I went to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time. With the consent of Zhu Yuanzhang, Tanghe sent troops to Li Shanchang! In other words, Tanghe has always kept Li Shanchang at a respectful distance from others. How could he be suspected by Zhu Yuanzhang because of this? Then, why didn't Tanghe be listed as lord protector when he was knighted for the first time in the early years of Hongwu?
Tang He and Li Shanchang (stills)
Although Tang He was a young man and a "revolutionary guide" of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, he made great contributions in the later days, but when Kaiyuan was founded in the Ming Dynasty, his position was not "Wolf King Bo"! Take a personnel arrangement of Zhu Yuanzhang in the third year of Hongwu as an example. Xu Da, the general of Lu, is the left and right lieutenant, Deng Yu is the lieutenant, and Tang is the lieutenant. Among them, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Sheng Feng and Deng Yu were the first dukes of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, judging from the personnel arrangement this time, before and after Hongwu three years ago, Tanghe and Deng Yu were "equal", lower than Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and Shengfeng. This time node is basically consistent with Zhu Yuanzhang's heroes.

In addition to the four mentioned above, there are only sons of Li Shanchang and Chang Yuchun, the first civil servant. Obviously, Chang Mao inherited the title of father Chang Yuchun in disguise, which can't be counted. In other words, three of the four people mentioned above are taller than Tanghe, and only one is "equal" with Tanghe. Then, the status of Tanghe is quite embarrassing. If Zhu Yuanzhang lowered the threshold a little, Tanghe would be a duke properly; Put it higher, then he can only be a marquis. Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang at that time did not intend to lower the threshold. ...
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang portrait
With the relationship between Tanghe and Zhu Yuanzhang, the "outsider" Duke Deng Yu should give Xiaotang, right? But why did Zhu Yuanzhang make Deng Yu the Duke and Tanghe the Marquis? The reason is simple. Soup and being a marquis are more useful than Deng Yu! What's the use? Let other people who want to be dukes retire.
Founding Fathers of Ming Dynasty (stills)
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in Kaiyuan in the Ming Dynasty, all military commanders longed for the position of duke because of their great contributions. Increasing the number of dukes is the best solution, but Zhu Yuanzhang obviously does not intend to do so. If the number of dukes is not increased, whoever becomes a duke and who becomes a marquis will inevitably cause dissatisfaction. After all, it is difficult to fully quantify the credit-"Why can Deng Yu be a duke?" Once these Huaixi experts who lick blood and climb out of the dead make trouble, Zhu Yuanzhang may find it difficult to control the situation! Reasoning, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Tanghe.
General Huai Meng licked his blood and beheaded his head (stills)
Tanghe's contribution is not great, and his status is not high. His relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang is the strongest except Li Wenzhong (Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew). They grew up naked together! More importantly, Tanghe was also Zhu Yuanzhang's "revolutionary guide". He pulled Zhu Yuanzhang into the Red Scarf Army and made Zhu Yuanzhang! Put the soup and soup in the position of the marquis. What can others say? What do you dare to say? "Your relationship with me zhu than soup and iron? Or my old Zhu's' revolutionary guide'? " As a result, a storm of open competition is disappearing. Otherwise, I'm afraid no matter who is the duke of Zhu Yuanzhang, it can't satisfy others, can it? Unless he makes everyone a duke ... but what's the point of being such a duke? This is the so-called "one Hou Bai Zhen Hou"! Only when Tanghe reached the position of the "First Marquis" can those who want to fight for Qi Huangong give up and be embarrassed to speak again.
Childhood Zhu Yuanzhang and Tanghe (stills)
Why did Zhu Yuanzhang choose Tanghe? Aren't you in the mood for soup? I'm not afraid, because Zhu Yuanzhang knows his little boy too well, and Tang knows his little boy too well! Tang He is a gentle person, and he is not very competitive on weekdays. Maybe it's because I know Zhu Yuanzhang's character too well. Tanghe was the first Huaixi general who voluntarily surrendered the relieving power after his success in the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Yuanzhang knew that even if he gave Tanghe a marquis and an earl, he would only accept it gladly and never make trouble.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne by offering sacrifices to heaven (stills)
Indeed, after being named Zhongshan Hou, Tang He readily accepted it without showing any dissatisfaction! In contrast, Zhu Yuanzhang is also quite useful, and he has not wronged Tanghe. A few years later, Zhu Yuanzhang convinced both Tang and Tang. Even in the days when Wen Yi Prince Zhu Biao died and Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered heroes, Tanghe didn't become Zhu Yuanzhang's goal! In the 28th year of Hongwu, Tanghe died in Fengyang's hometown. Like Xu Da and others, he was posthumously awarded the title of King of Eastern Europe (County King) by Zhu Yuanzhang, and became one of the few people who died well in Rongyuan of Kaiguo in the Ming Dynasty.
Magnificent Tang He Tomb, Zhu Yuanzhang's last account of Xiao Xia.
To sum up, Tanghe failed to become the first duke after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, which was related to his status at that time. After all, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Sheng Feng and others have higher status than him. But more importantly, in order to control the number of dukes, Zhu Yuanzhang blocked the mouths of generals in Huaixi with him. With the credit of Tanghe and his relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, he was only named Marquis. Why do others fight for the duke? Zhu Yuanzhang can take them all back in one sentence-"Compared with Tanghe, are you worthy of the Duke and are you sitting upright?" Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of Tanghe is also an important aspect. After all, he has grown up, and Zhu Yuanzhang knows Tanghe too well to argue. For others, I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang still has to weigh it.
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang portrait
As the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, Tanghe played an important role. Coupled with his relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, it is natural to seal the frenzy. But when it was sealed for the first time, Tanghe was just an idle generation, not among the six founding fathers. As for the reason? It's also very simple, shocking everyone. Just like our new China was awarded the title of General Su Yu Town and General Xiao Ke Town in 55 years. Tang He plays this role, and whoever refuses to accept it is better qualified and contributes more than Tang He. Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that he had wronged this brother and soon became a Lord protector. At that time, Tang Heping made great contributions to Yunnan, and no one said anything about sealing the Lord protector. It was only at that time that Daming was prosperous in force and Yunnan made a contribution. Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang took good care of this brother. In addition, Tanghe was one of the few founding generals who died happily in the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang is really different in career guidance.
I made a disloyal remark because I was drunk.
Therefore, I have been careful all my life and will eventually die well. Be crowned king after death.
When Tang He resisted Zhang Shicheng in Changzhou, he wanted to ask Ming Taizu for something, but he didn't get permission. After drinking, he complained, "You sit on the roof of my town and look left and right (Biography of Tang River in Ming Dynasty).
This is the emperor's means. Some people feel that after the founding of the people's Republic of China, they have been sealed up and are psychologically dissatisfied. Zhu Yuanzhang also took the credit of the person who had the best relationship with him as a low point, and others were not easy to quarrel. If Tanghe is wronged, he can naturally understand Zhu Yuanzhang's pains. If he can't understand the emperor's pains and quarrels, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.
Together, they are three creative masters ... Tang He, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun!
Zhu Yuanzhang is also a very capable person ... in the early stage, he was a childhood playmate of his big brother ... in the middle stage, he was saving his strength, being loyal and upright, and becoming famous all over the world!
Whoever has greater prestige than him in the later period will seize power from him! Tanghe and Beixuda are both commanders. Later, they completely relied on Xu Da to transfer Tanghe from the command center ... and the latter escaped! Killing the hero proves that those in power are "not confident".
Can only say that this is a typical example. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, everyone has made great contributions. How do we reward them? Take the soup and everyone else will have to shut up.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang created six dukes: Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Changmao, Li Wenzhong, Shengfeng and Deng Yu. Someone asked, Tang had a close relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang. It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang later became emperor, largely because of Tanghe, because he wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang to join the Red Scarf Army. So, why did Tanghe finally get a marquis?
According to records, although Tanghe was not the six founding kings of Wang Zhiyi, it ranked first among the 29 Marquis. In the eleventh year of Hongwu, Tanghe was elected as the Lord protector by posthumous title. So it seems that the status of Tanghe is similar to that of the six founding kings, and the problem is not big.
As for the reason why he was not made a duke by Zhu Yuanzhang, it is actually very easy to explain that Tang He likes drinking and often makes mistakes because of drunkenness.
When he was stationed in Changzhou, he had something to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions. Without a satisfactory answer, he was drunk and complained: "I am guarding this city, just like sitting on the roof, in a dilemma." Zhu Yuanzhang was very bitter when he heard about it, and he didn't seal soup and duke when he rewarded merit.
The reason given is that he released Chen Youliang's remaining party, which led to the disturbance of Eight Counties. On the way back to the army, he was attacked by bandits in Xiulan Mountain and lost two commanders. When Tanghe was named Guoxin, Zhu Yuanzhang was still talking about it, ordering people to be engraved on the hereditary certificate.
In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Tanghe was seriously ill. Zhu Yuanzhang talked with him about his hometown and the difficulties in raising troops over the years. Tang He couldn't answer, but fell to the ground. Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears and gave him gold and silk as funeral expenses. In August of the following year, Tanghe died at the age of 70. Zhu Yuanzhang made him the King of East Ou and Wu Xiang, posthumous title.
