Going to private school for a few days really helped Zhu Yuanzhang a lot when he first joined the rebel army.
After all, the majority of the rebels are illiterate and cannot read a single Chinese character!
But this alone is far from being a literary achievement.
Afterwards, when the situation gradually stabilized, Zhu Yuanzhang paid great attention to cultural studies.
For example, every time a city is conquered, the first thing to do is to invite famous local scholars to the house and humbly ask for advice.
He asked great Confucians to explain various knowledge to him, including Song Lian, a famous scholar in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, who was Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial lecturer.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was eager to learn, his foundation was poor, and his overall educational level was much worse than that of those literary giants.
But for an emperor who was born as a beggar, this is not bad.
In addition, after many years of study, Zhu Yuanzhang's cultural level is no lower than that of an ordinary Jinshi.
Whether it is reviewing memorials or exchanging letters, it can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's cultural level is gradually improving.
For example, in the early Ming Dynasty, there was a poet named Qian Zai who wrote a poem one night.
The original poem is: "The four drums are banging and the clothes are on. It's too late to leave the morning at five o'clock. When will we have fun in the fields and sleep until the food in the world is ready?"
The next day Qian Zai went to court. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw him, he said: "The poem I wrote last night is a good one, but I am not too late. How about changing it to the word worry?"
Qian Zai was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed in apology. In a poem, Zhu Yuanzhang changed one word, and the artistic conception completely changed.
It can be seen from this that Zhu Yuanzhang's literary attainments are not very low.
Zhu Yuanzhang's cultural level mainly comes from three aspects.
One is the private school that I attended for a while;
The second is that in the process of becoming a monk, I traveled around, gained more knowledge, realized the importance of reading, and started to read consciously.
The third is to continuously learn and ask for advice in the later period, and finally form a certain cultural heritage.
If these are all learned things, then in terms of strategy, it can only show that he is extremely talented.
If we have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's cultural level is not high, it is barely justified.
But if we talk about Zhu Yuanzhang's military and strategic aspects, he is one of the few outstanding figures in history.
Zhu Yuanzhang possesses all the qualities required for a successful leader, including high IQ, high emotional intelligence, outstanding strategy, far-sighted vision and extremely high political level and military ability.
This was evident to all during the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
The first is that when participating in the Red Scarf Army, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to assess the situation and use his influence to gradually strengthen his team.
He is good at appeasing his subordinates and can make the best use of their talents.
He knows very well what level the people under his command are, what they are good at, and what they are suitable for.
For example, during the early confrontation with Chen Youliang, he arranged for his nephew Zhu Wenzheng to guard Hongdu.
It was precisely because he understood Zhu Wenzheng's abilities that he trusted him with this arduous task.
In addition to being able to recognize and employ people, he also has military talents.
In countless large and small battles, Zhu Yuanzhang either went to the battlefield to command in person, or arranged troops in the rear.
Facts have proved that Zhu Yuanzhang is often correct.
This keen military talent was developed in battle after battle.
The most important thing is outstanding political ability. As the saying goes, it is easier to conquer the world than to defend it.
After establishing the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also profoundly demonstrated his outstanding political ability in the governance of an empire.
From the appointment of officials to the modification and establishment of systems, a huge empire gradually and steadily moved forward in his hands.
Behind this, Zhu Yuanzhang was definitely not able to do it without learning anything.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a special founding emperor in my country's feudal society. He was at the forefront of all previous founding emperors in terms of military capabilities and political level.
Including the greatest leaders in modern times, they have all evaluated Zhu Yuanzhang as: "Since ancient times, there is no one who can be more powerful than Li Shimin, and the second best is Zhu Yuanzhang."
This gave Zhu Yuanzhang a very high evaluation. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not learn nothing.
What's great about him is that he can learn everything and be able to master it and use it for his own purposes.
The person who won the country from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and truly realized the rejuvenation of China is definitely not inferior to the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty.
Because compared with them, Zhu Yuanzhang is ten million times more powerful.
Of course, even his children and grandchildren are definitely not as absurd as recorded in history.
Things like leopard room and lewd pleasure are all nonsense. In fact, it is just a zoo.
Even if you are really happy, for an emperor to do such a thing in his harem is not only normal, but also considered meritorious, because it can prolong the generation of heirs.
Even the last emperor, Chongzhen, was an example of the emperor guarding the country and the king dying for the country.
It's a pity that when a king becomes a king, he loses a bandit, and the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, no matter what the Qing Dynasty says.
Just like now, we are constantly ruining the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
I forgot something so early in the morning. I would rather be a foreigner than a domestic slave. It is rotten and stupid to the extreme.
In fact, many historical truths have been buried in the long river of history due to various selfish reasons.
Emperor Xin of Zhou Dynasty of Shang Dynasty is one, Wang Mang is another one, Qin Shihuang is definitely the same, and the subsequent Emperor Yang of Sui, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Wanli, Emperor Tianqi, etc. have all been severely smeared.
This time, he also encountered the Battle of Muye about Emperor Xin. Otherwise, Chen Wenzhe would not have expected so much.
Now that he has thought of it, he needs to sort out his thoughts, write some historical papers, and publish them for everyone to see.
"Huh? Is this a big tomb?"
While using backtracking to search for useful information, Chen Wenzhe has not forgotten his random thoughts.
After counting all the emperors who had been wronged by history, Chen Wenzhe suddenly saw a large tomb.
Di Xin must have been killed, but what happened to him after his death is generally not recorded in history.
However, when Emperor Xin died, he was already quite old, and his mausoleum was almost completed.
The Zhou people replaced the Shang Dynasty, so naturally they would not use the tomb of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty.
So, this tomb is left vacant?
Of course, it is also appropriate to destroy it before leaving it vacant!
As for killing King Zhou of Shang and then hiding him in this tomb, there is no need to think about it. It would be pretty good if he was not whipped to death.
"This seems to be the fake tomb?"
Soon, Chen Wenzhe realized that he knew this big tomb.
Among the Yin Ruins ruins, there is a large tomb with no tomb passage and no burials. It is called a "fake tomb".
Later, experts conducted research and believed that it was an unfinished tomb and should belong to Emperor Xin.
Later, many experts supported this view, but the academic community has not yet reached a conclusion on this point.
This large tomb is located on the Qi River in Hekou Village, Xigang Township, 8 kilometers east of Qi County. If he uses this as the coordinates, Chen Wenzhe can even locate the exact location of the Battle of Muye.
A great war will definitely leave behind a lot of things, at least there should be no shortage of weapons.
