The eldest son inherited the unification, and the other sons guarded the place. Although the central government attaches importance to literature over martial arts, it is very strong in coordinating civil and military affairs and administering martial arts. Especially from the title, Hongwu is HTC's martial arts. So if Zhu Biao dies, the governors can unite as one, and Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy can continue to expand in the early Ming Dynasty. It's just that Zhu Biao died young. Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic planning has been discounted, and there are also variables.
But Zhu Yuanzhang is stubborn. In order to abolish the prime minister, Zhu Yuanzhang introduced the case of Hu. Hu deliberately let "die". And Hu is not stupid. He wants to implicate more officials and heroes, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang dare not kill too many people. But the stubborn Zhu Yuanzhang still killed, and all the people involved were killed cleanly. It is to achieve his strategic goal and abolish the prime minister.
So, if you are as stubborn as Zhu Yuanzhang, it's not that you don't know all the princes. What are the hidden dangers when you have military power? The chaos of the seven kings in Han Dynasty and the chaos of the eight kings in Western Jin Dynasty are all lessons from the past. However, in terms of territorial expansion in the Ming Dynasty, it was obviously insufficient from Zhu Yuanzhang. Although it occupied Northeast China and Tibet, Beiyuan did not completely perish, but it only reached Hami Wei to the west. Therefore, if Zhu Yuanzhang wants to continue to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but he doesn't trust the founding heroes, he can only hope on his sons.
And since Zhu Biao is dead, why can't he choose another son? This is also the problem. The positioning of other sons is to guard the border and even wait for opportunities to expand abroad. If one son is chosen to inherit the great unification, the remaining sons do not want to expand outward, but only want to seize power inward. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation of the rebellion of the seven kings in the Han Dynasty must be different from that of civilian officials.
Civil servants believe that the captaincy will be chaotic if it has military power, while the stubborn Zhu Yuanzhang believes his son more, and thinks that changing the previous strategic plan without authorization and letting the son guarding the border come back to inherit and unify will lead to the "chaos of the seven kings." Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to let Zhu Yunwen, the eldest son of Zhu Biao and the grandson of the emperor, inherit the great cause of reunification. In this way, although there are variables in Zhu Yuanzhang's overall strategic planning, the overall strategic spirit has not changed.
So Zhu Yuanzhang also asked his grandson, Zhu Yunwen, how to coordinate the relationship between the governors. Just, although Zhu Yunwen's answer is in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's idea. But Zhu Yunwen didn't do it. As soon as Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he established the title of Wen Jian. Judging from the title, he didn't want to expand, but kept it. And the actual practice, but also the elimination of San Francisco. As a result, Judy was forced to rebel.
Judy rebelled in the name of Jingnan. If Judy only wants to seize power, Jingnan is just a stunt. Then Judy's behavior after taking power may not make sense. For example, Judy moved to the capital, for example, Judy's five-character mobei. The so-called right to protect the country began with Judy. This is Judy's inheritance of Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic planning, and it is also the fulfillment of the prince's promise to Daming to defend northern Xinjiang, and it is also the prince's promise to Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic planning. Therefore, judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic planning, Judy's defense of the frontier is in line with the strategic planning, while Zhu Yunwen and Emperor Wen Jian are not in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic planning. Therefore, Jing Nan's slogan is not a gimmick.
However, after the prince seized power, although the emperor could defend his country, he could continue to conquer the North Yuan. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's overall strategic planning has been disrupted. If we don't continue to eliminate the princes, it will really lead to the "Seven Kings Rebellion". Therefore, Judy not only moved Wang Ning from Daning to the south, but also wiped out the military power of local governors. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's overall strategic planning here completely failed, abolishing military commanders and vassals. There will be no external expansion in the end. The situation of valuing literature over martial arts is getting more and more serious, and the power and position of military commanders can't compete with civilian officials at all, which leads to the enemy always being in a passive situation in the middle and late Ming Dynasty for border blockades and civil strife.
In fact, in the Song Dynasty, both Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin wanted to move their capital to Xi, and the possible strategic plan here was to rebuild the Silk Road. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, let his son lead the army and abolish the founding hero. It was originally to let his son continue to farmland. Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yunwen's dissolution of the vassal state, and Judy's usurpation of power, the situation caused by these series of changes can only be unable to continue to expand.
