This was the regime established in the Ming and Xia Dynasties from 1363 to 137 1. Although it only existed for eight years, it played a very important role in the historical trend.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court was in a coma, and disasters occurred frequently. The people rose up one after another and several powerful peasant armies were born. Ming Yuzhen, 1329, a native of Suizhou, Hubei Province, lived by farming for generations. He is "more than eight feet long, with heavy eyes and always ambitious" and enjoys great prestige among his neighbors, reaching 1358.
It was in the later battles that Ming Yuzhen became Xu Shouhui's right-hand man, invincible, disciplined and innocent, and eventually became a marshal of the whole army.
1358, Ming Yuzhen went out again to attack the Yuan army entrenched in Sichuan Bashu area, and won successively. After the capture of Jiading, all counties in Sichuan came to depend on it. Since then, Ming Yuzhen has his own stable base.
1360, after Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui and established himself as emperor, Ming Yuzhen broke off relations with him and began to call himself King Shu of Gansu. Two years later, Ming officially decided to proclaim himself emperor, established Yuan Tiantong, made its capital in Chongqing, and continued to March into Hanzhong with Xia as the ruling slogan. After the defeat, more than 10,000 people were captured. Then, Ming Yuzhen sent troops south.
Facing the growing Chen Youliang, Ming Yuzhen should make friends with Zhu Yuanzhang in the southeast and send envoys to each other anyway. In Ming Yuzhen's book, he also compared himself with Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
From 1366, is it brighter than earthquake? Ming Sheng acceded to the throne. However, during his reign, the Ming and Xia Dynasties did not do much. On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang in the south, after annexing the forces of Chen Youliang, expanded rapidly and conquered the Yuan Dynasty in the north. 1369, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a surrender letter to Ming Sheng, and the content was also very interesting.
The article also compares Liu Bei: "In ancient times, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were the most outstanding people in Sichuan. However, even the two of them are in danger and can hardly protect themselves. How do you compare with them now? It is better to give in early. "
Ming Sheng didn't eat Zhu Yuanzhang's bluff, but in 137 1 year, Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to attack Shu, and finally Ming Sheng had to surrender in Kaesong, and it will perish here next summer.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who is suspicious of ghosts, made him a righteous Hou and stayed in Beijing, but he was still worried. Finally, he moved Ming Sheng, a huge family, to live in Korea overseas. It is worth mentioning that Ming Sheng married the daughter of North Korean general Lang Yinxi and gave birth to four sons.
However, since then, the Ming Yuzhen family has been handed down in North Korea, and two famous families have developed, one is the Ming family in Xishu and the other is the Ming family in Yan 'an.
Today, there are still some descendants living overseas who have inherited the tradition of speaking Chinese and writing Chinese characters. 1986, descendants of the Ming family combined the genealogy of the two branches into one volume. 1995, Wan Zhi, president of the Ming Family Congress, also led family members to Chongqing to pay homage to the Ming Emperor Yu Zhen's mausoleum.
