An inventory of the sinners who have subjugated the country in the past dynasties, Lao Zhu’s number

【The reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was the raising of a group of"piglets" offspring】

【Since the Western Han Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties have conferred titles on their sons and clan members.】

【The biggest difference in enfeoffing kings and nobility is whether Zhu Yuanzhang will give them the power to enfeoff them.】

【When Zhu Yuanzhang proposed to crown the clan kings, the ministers certainly had no objection, because this was an inevitable operation after the establishment of a new dynasty.】

【But when Zhu Yuanzhang proposed to establish tribunals for the kings, many ministers were opposed to it.】

【Because the examples of the Seven Kings Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty and the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty are nakedly there.】

【For this reason, there was even an extreme incident in which Ye Bogu risked his life to remonstrate against the kings' establishment of Tibet. However, all the opposing voices and actions could not shake Zhu Yuanzhang's determination to establish Tibet."920"】

【Because the ministers and the emperor think about problems from different angles, the ministers think more about the stability of the country.】

【He believed that the excessive power of the vassal king was not conducive to the stability of the country, and the emperor's biggest consideration was to preserve the country and ensure that the world he finally conquered would not be taken away by people with other surnames.】

【To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried about which descendant would become the emperor, but was afraid that the descendants who would become emperor later were not his descendants.】

【Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take the examples raised by the ministers to heart, because Zhu Yuanzhang did not feel the rebellion of the feudal kings.】

【He only felt that the emperors of the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, when they were at their weakest, did not get help from the clan, and in the end they could only destroy the country and destroy the family.】

【Therefore, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, how could his descendants defend the emperor if they had no power?】

【As for Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Song Lian and others saw it very clearly, so they did not oppose it.】

【It's just that after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the subsequent emperors spared no effort to promote the reduction of vassals, and in the end they really turned the Ming Dynasty clan into a bunch of pigs.】

【Moreover, they are a group of particularly fertile pigs, which makes the clan princes not only unable to play their due role, but also with the rapid increase in the clan population, the total amount of annual salary received by the clan has far exceeded the grain of the tribute capital of various places.】

【As a result, the Ming Dynasty's finances were burdened with finances, which became one of the important reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.】

【Starting from the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang successively gave birth to twenty-four of his twenty-six sons, except the eldest son Zhu Biao and the youngest son Zhu Nan.】

【In addition to his nephew Zhu Shouqian, a total of 25 people were canonized as vassal kings.】

【On the seventh day of April in the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang consecrated kings for the first time, and he conferred ten titles in total.】

【In the eleventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang conferred the title of king for the second time. This time, he conferred a total of five vassal kings.】

【In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang conferred the title of king for the third and last time. He conferred ten titles in total.】

【And some powers were given to these vassal kings. First of all, the vassal kings were not bound by ordinary laws and were not subject to the local government system.】

【It is managed by the emperor and the clan. Secondly, the vassal king does not have to pay taxes. Finally, it is the vassal king's greatest power.】

【That is to say, they enjoy certain military power, especially the king of Qin Zhu Fang, the king of Jin Zhu Fan, the king of Yan Zhu Di, and the king of Dai Zhu Gui.…】

【There are nine princes in total, who are on the frontier defense line from the northeast to the northwest, so they are also called the nine kings who resisted the barbarians.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang assigned each Sai king with three escort commanders, two guards and one ceremonial guard.】

【Each vassal king can control about 10,000 bodyguards, and the remaining kings are stationed in various parts of the province and are responsible for monitoring local officials.】

【In order to prevent the ministers of the court from usurping power and committing rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly stipulated that the kings have the power to send documents to the court to demand treacherous ministers and to raise troops to clear the emperor's side.】

【Later, the legal basis for Zhu Di to launch the Jingnan Campaign was that the Qing emperor sided with】

【Similarly, in order to prevent the vassal king from becoming too powerful and posing a threat to the central power and rule, Zhu Yuanzhang also stated that the vassal king was not allowed to make friends with local officials.】

【They were not allowed to interfere with local military and political affairs, and were not allowed to leave the fiefdom without authorization, which resulted in a situation where the Ming vassals were enfeoffed but not given land, the nobles were given no honors but they did not come to the people, and they were deprived of money but not in charge of matters.】

【In addition, because the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are important places in the capital and where the country’s financial resources are located, in order to prevent vassal kings from interfering with the country’s economic and political activities】

【Therefore, enfeoffment is not allowed. The Fujian and Guangdong regions are far away and dangerous, and it is difficult for the imperial power to control them, so they are not allowed to enfeoff.】

【From Zhu Yuanzhang's system design for the Ming Dynasty vassal kings, it can be seen that while Zhu Yuanzhang granted privileges to the vassal kings, he also placed great restrictions on the vassal kings..0】

【This allowed the vassal king and local civil and military officials to form a de facto relationship of mutual restraint and supervision.】

【Moreover, the nine great barbarian kings had a certain number of guards, which could play a very important role for the Pingfan royal family and guard the border.】

【Not to mention the raids and intimidation of the Mongolian grasslands by King Zhu Fan of Jin and King Zhu Di of Yan during the Hongwu period, just look at the seventh year of Yongle】

【After the defeat of Duke Qiu Fu in the Northern Expedition, Zhu Di issued a nationwide mobilization order. The Qin Palace and the Qing Palace alone were able to mobilize 19,000 escort officers and soldiers to participate in the battle.】

【And forty years later, after several generations of emperors continued to reduce vassal vassals, the vassal king system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang was completely changed beyond recognition.】

【The Ming Dynasty suffered the Tumu Fortress Incident, and princes like King Su and King Han could barely cobble together a few hundred people to serve as King Qin. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【The vassal king has now become a useless pile of moths. I wonder what Zhu Yuanzhang would think when he saw such a scene.】

……

Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Palace.

After Zhu Yuanzhang read the last sentence, his face looked extremely angry.

"I worried about the funeral arrangements for those royal family members, but I didn't expect to raise a group of... a group of..."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to say that word, but his expression at this time had already betrayed his body.

Zhu Biao 2.1 Part 1 He comforted himself and said:

"Father, calm down!"

"How can I appease my anger? These...these descendants actually gave birth to so many children, hundreds of thousands of them.…"

"This is comparable to the number of people in a county town, and they all enjoy the fruits of their wealth. Even if I have ten Ming Dynasties, it is not enough for them."

Zhu Biao also had a look of disbelief on his face. The impoverished imperial court has probably never found another one in the past.

Zhu Yuanzhang held back his anger and pointed at Zhu Di, who looked stupid while eating snacks, and gritted his teeth. road:

"Also, you are a tough guy!"

Hearing the angry sound, Zhu Di's heart trembled. He had to raise his eyes, looked at his father carefully, and said tremblingly:

"Father, father, this, son and minister…"
