Motto: What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.
Main experience:
Herding cattle from 1328 to 1344
He worked as a monk from 1344 to 1347, and his main job was to go out to beg for food (this...)
He worked as a monk from 1347 to 1352, and his main job was ringing bells.
Rebellion from 1352 to 1368 (this fierce)
From 1368 to 1398, his main job was to be emperor
Everything started from that night in 1328. Farmer Zhu Wusi's wife Chen gave birth to a baby boy. Everyone knew that this baby boy was later Zhu Yuanzhang.
Whenever an emperor is born, there will be some similar strange phenomena recorded in subsequent history books, such as wind blowing, heavy rain, fragrant fragrance, stars flashing in the sky, and red lights everywhere. Anyway, I just want to tell you that this man and
Others are different. Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception. When he was born, red light filled the ground, and strange lights appeared in the house at night, so that neighbors thought there was a fire and ran to save him ("Records of the Ming Dynasty").
However, the mood of farmer Zhu Wusi at that time was not like the anxious and joyful fathers we see outside the hospital delivery room today. As a father who already has three sons and two daughters, the first thing to consider is
It's a matter of eating.
Farmer Zhu Wusi's job consists of two parts. He owns a tofu shop, but he mainly makes a living by cultivating the landlord's land. This determines that as a member of this working family, he has to work non-stop in order to survive.
.
One month after Xiao Zhu Wusi was born, his parents gave him a name (common practice in the Yuan Dynasty): Zhu Chongba. This name can also be called Zhu Baba. Let us introduce here again, the names of Zhu Chongba’s family are all
Very distinctive.
The name of Zhu Chongba’s great ancestor: Zhu Bailiu;
The name of Zhu Chong’s eighth grandfather: Zhu Chuyi;
We have introduced his father, his name is Zhu Wusi.
Such a name was not chosen because the Zhu family was engaged in mathematics, but because in the Yuan Dynasty, people who could not go to school or serve as officials had no names. They could only be named after the sum of their parents' ages or the date of birth (those who registered their household registration would definitely be dazzled).
).
Zhu Chongba spent his childhood in a dilapidated thatched house that was cool in winter and warm in summer, with ventilation and good lighting. His main job was to herd cattle for the landlord Liu De's family. He once wanted to study, but Zhu Wusi could not afford it.
As a student, he didn't have the sentiments like Li Mi to hang a book on an ox's horn, and naturally he didn't have a high official like Yang Su to appreciate him, so he honestly helped Liu De herd cattle for twelve years.
Because he wants to eat.
At this time, Zhu Chongba's dream is to live a good life. When he is sixteen years old, he asks Mrs. Wu from the entrance of the village to act as a matchmaker and find a hard-working girl who can work as his wife, and then give birth to his own children.
The names of the children might be Zhu Saner or Zhu Siling. When Zhu Saner and others grew up, they would be allowed to herd cattle at the landlord Liu Xiaode's house.
This is Zhu Chongba's happy yearning for his future life at the age of sixteen.
At this time, China was under the rule of the extremely corrupt Yuan Dynasty. The conquerors from Mongolia did not seem to think that the people under their rule were human beings. They often even considered killing all the people occupying the land and then taking the land away.
It is used for grazing ("Yuan History"). From taxes to corvee, as long as it is a subject that people can think of, it can be used to collect money. During festivals, "festival money" is collected, there is "regular money" for work, and there is "regular money" for lawsuits.
"Official money"... you're afraid, then it's not okay if I don't go out? Isn't it okay if I don't work? That's not okay, I want money for no reason, and I have to collect "spending money". Are you convinced?
Therefore, after this horse nation ruled China for more than sixty years, their state machinery had reached an unbearable level. At this time, the Yuan Empire was like a lingering camel, just waiting for the last straw in its life.
The straw arrived quickly.
1344 is a year of special significance. In this year, God was finally ready to abandon Yuan. He brought two disasters to China. At the same time, he also dug a grave for Yuan and wrote an epitaph: Stone
One human eye can stir up rebellion in the Yellow River and the world.
He was very thoughtful and even prepared a filler for Yuan: Zhu Chongba.
Of course Zhu Chongba would not have thought that God would give him such an important task.
This year, he was seventeen years old.
Soon a disaster will befall him, but at the same time, a great cause is also waiting for him. Only like the legendary phoenix, who has gone through hardships, thrown into the fire, and been tempered many times, can he be reborn from the fire and become a
The radiant divine bird.
Zhu Chongba, come on, the god of destiny is waiting for you!
