From a cowherd to a generation of emperors, the history of Zhu Yuanzhang's successful "counterattack" has been admired by countless people. He shouted "Expel Land Rover and Restore China", and finally ended Meng Yuan's rule. He abolished the prime minister system and further strengthened the power of the central government; He pays attention to education and vigorously cultivates talents; Him? Counting this series of measures, we will find that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to enjoy the country for 276 years had a lot to do with Zhu Yuanzhang's rule over Hongwu, and Zhu Yuanzhang was just a "bad karma indigenous" from the grassroots!

Zhu Yuanzhang (Hu Jun)

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang's success is too simple compared with the emperor Liu Bang, who was also born at the grass-roots level? Liu bang was also "sent" by Xiang Yu to the land of Bashu, and Zhu Yuanzhang went from beggar to emperor, just like taking a downwind boat. Don't be too smooth! On cunning, Zhu Yuanzhang is not the top level in the pack; Compared with other rebel leaders, Zhu Yuanzhang is simply a "good baby"! In terms of strategy and tactics, Zhu Yuanzhang is only above average among wolves.

But why did Zhu Yuanzhang succeed? Why didn't those who were much better than him make it to the end? Instead, let a cowherd boy become a generation of emperors? There are only two decisive factors!

Zhu Yuanzhang (Tang Guoqiang)

First, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Counting the teams that are both insurgents with Zhu Yuanzhang, how many have achieved "not excessively disturbing the people"? Too many insurgents, under the slogan of "robbing the rich to help the poor", burned and looted desperately, robbing not only landlords and rich people, but also ordinary people's property. Wherever we go, nothing grows, but it is common for our wives and children to be separated.

On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang began to pay attention to military discipline soon after he led the troops alone. Don't say anything, don't take anything. However, Zhu Yuanzhang restrained his servants and won the support of many people compared with those teams that ruined people.

Zhu Yuanzhang (hero killed)

Second, knowledge is power. At the same time, most rebel leaders, either for personal reasons or because the scholars were too stubborn, chose to kill the soldiers they caught.

And Zhu Yuanzhang? His enthusiasm, patience and boldness for intellectuals won him the support of a large number of intellectuals. This played an important role in his later successful establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
