Under the "system" decision, the royal family launched a fierce reproductive competition. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants had multiplied to as many as 1 million. As the largest vested interest group in the Ming Dynasty, the royal family is indeed the "happiest" group. But when Li Zicheng's army came, almost no one named Zhu could survive. ?
Zhu Yuanzhang’s methods
Zhu Yuanzhang asked his sons to guard the northern border to compete with Bei Yuan, or he asked them to guard the interior and suppress local tyrants, while the richest areas were still in the center Under the control of the imperial court, his feudal system, although criticized by many people, was actually not that unbearable. It was just that after Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, came to power, he made major changes to the vassal system, changing it from serving the imperial court to serving as a mixed-use one. The existence of death made the vassal system one of the reasons why later generations criticized the Ming Dynasty.
The image Zhu Yuanzhang left in history is extremely cruel. He was cold-blooded and ruthless towards the people, ministers, old friends, and his wives and concubines. Only in front of his children and grandchildren, his face was full of kindness, and he was extremely gentle and considerate. He racked his brains to ensure that his children and grandchildren lived a happy life.
