Chapter 383: The whole country mourns
Emperor...... What is the condition of the imperial grandfather? Zhu Yunwen asked with a trembling voice, not only his voice trembled, but his whole body trembled, he felt that he was going to cry, so that he could fit the image of a filial son and grandson, but he wanted to laugh again, and laughed from the bottom of his heart...... Maybe there really is a destiny!
In the past few months, Zhu Yuanzhang has stepped up his offensive, and Yi Chu's situation is very clear, and the ministers in the East Palace are like ants on a hot pot, panicking all day long.
But in the blink of an eye, Zhu Yuanzhang fell ill, and it was even heavier than last time...... It's just that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is not in the capital, and he is a righteous prince, no matter how many doubts there are, he has no doubt that he has won the absolute first move! Maybe the final victory!
Zhu Yunwen wanted to shout and announce to everyone, I won! I really won!
However, he still has the courage, he can only hold a heart, staring at the dragon bed, in a trance, he found that Lao Zhu's fingers seemed to move, and Zhu Yunwen was so frightened that he almost cried out.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wake up after all, the imperial doctor slowly turned around and said to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Highness, the Holy Driver Bintian is right in front of you!" The sky is falling apart, so please prepare early! ”
After saying this, the imperial doctor was already in tears, His Majesty is dead, and Emperor Hongwu has died!
That night, the Jingyang bell rang, one after another, desolate and far away, spread all over the capital...... At first, people thought it was the early dynasty of the hundred officials, and they were still thinking about why the time of the early dynasty was advanced again?
But gradually, some people understood that His Majesty had died, and the heavens of the Ming Dynasty ...... Collapsed!
Out of nowhere, there was a cry, first from one household to another, then from one street to another, to an alley, and from a square market...... Everyone, adults and children, cried.
The old man's eyes kept flowing, the young man sobbed and wailed, and the child kept tearing...... The depressing atmosphere is like Mount Tai pressing the top, everyone has a feeling of suffocation, and their hearts are empty, as if something has been taken off, it hurts! It hurts!
People consciously made white flags, tied white ribbons, knelt in the courtyard, and kept adding paper money to the pots.
They wept and muttered, hoping that Heaven would bless His Majesty the Emperor.
There are also people who have found out the big letter at home, or the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, if there are none of these, it is simpler, and there are banknotes!
It was printed with the image of the Son of Heaven.
At this moment, even small banknotes become sacred...... The old man hugged his grandson, pointed out the appearance of Emperor Hongwu, told them about his experience over the years, how Hong Wuye punished corrupt officials, how he skinned them, and how diligent Hong Wuye was.
When the common people have something, even if they lose a cow, they can go to Hong Wuye to complain...... Hongwu treated the people too well, a few decades ago, when the Yuan Dynasty ruled, the people were not happy, and the children born had no names, so they could only be called Jiusi and Chongba...... It was our Hong Wuye, who swept away Dayuan, restored the Huaxia crown, and made everyone straighten their waists and live like a human being!
Let the big guy have dignity and face!
Those old people over fifty years old, who really came from the Yuan Dynasty, did not say that Zhu Yuanzhang was good. Even if someone has been wronged, lost their official position, or even forcibly taken away and left their hometown...... But no matter how many grievances there are, can it still be compared to the Yuan Dynasty?
Emperor Hongwu has given enough to everyone, and as for some other things, they don't care at all, and they have long been thrown out of the sky......
The sadness is not confined to the capital, but continues to spread around, not only does not weaken at all, but intensifies...... Especially in the countryside, the simplest and poorest peasants, still working in the fields, heard the news of the emperor's death.
They wept and wailed bitterly, they clung to the loess on the ground, and wept until they fainted...... It was Emperor Hongwu who gave them the land and gave them their own land!
From the beginning of the Two Song Dynasty, it did not suppress annexation, and when it came to the Yuan Dynasty, it was staking everywhere...... For hundreds of years, how many generations, only the landlord's land could be cultivated.
Every year, more than half of the grain produced by hard work has to be handed over to the landlords, and every household can't even afford to drink porridge.
Only Emperor Hongwu, before he ascended the throne, implemented the strategy of building high walls, slowly becoming king, and accumulating grain...... Everywhere he went, Zhu Yuanzhang asked his soldiers to cultivate the tuntian fields and accumulate military rations, and at the same time confiscated the acres of land of the officials of the Yuan Dynasty and the local wealthy households, which were used as official fields and granted to the landless people to cultivate.
For the first time, many people have their own land and the capital to settle down.
Everyone's enthusiasm for work was stimulated.
The big guy harvested the grain, except for a little ration, and the rest, as long as it was requisitioned, all handed over...... No one will keep it.
Because everyone understands the simplest truth, only if Zhu Yuanzhang wins, the land can be theirs, and with the land, there is everything!
Countless small people, like ants, are stunned to pile up a behemoth, magnificent!
Among the dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one who conquered the north and conquered the world!
It's not a fluke, think about it, what will the people do when they get the land? They not only provided food, but also the best quality soldiers...... The soldiers who helped Zhu Yuanzhang charge into battle were the children of these peasant families!
Who said that the peasants were weak and scattered...... As long as it is organized, the combat power that erupts will be turned upside down. The powerful Dayuan Iron Rider was buried by them with their own hands.
For example, Liu Bang, who is also not from a high background, used the three chapters of the law in exchange for the hearts of the people, and the rest of the founding monarchs had different means. But there is no doubt that the use of land to mobilize the people has always been the most effective and powerful.
Zhu Yuanzhang's great thing is that after he seized the world, he still did not change his original intention, in view of the vast and sparsely populated land in the north, the land was barren, he recruited the people, each of them granted a number of acres, three years of tax exemption, and returned cattle and farm tools...... In short, use all means to make every piece of land have someone to cultivate, so that everyone has a field to cultivate!
In addition to granting land, Lao Zhu also severely cracked down on Haoqiang, never soft, perhaps in the eyes of scholars, including those historians and scholars, and even later generations of experts and professors, they all felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was soiled, did not understand the economy, and was brutal and unkind...... But who noticed that under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, there were few huge rich, and few were extremely poor, the treasury was sufficient, and they were invincible in foreign wars.
The results are real, not by relying on literati sitting in the study, thinking wildly, and chiseling and attaching them.
One word!
Majestic!
Hongwu the Great!
Liu Chun, who was in Zhenjiang, found that the entire town had turned white almost overnight, and no one laughed or made noise on the road, and as for the sound of musical instruments, there was no sound at all.
In the teahouse, people who like to play chess also put away the chessboard, for fear of offending the monarch's father.
The shopkeeper used white paper to paste the red word Fu...... Almost every ordinary person is mourning Zhu Yuanzhang in their own way.
Liu Chun walked on the street and had an indescribable feeling...... He had long known that Zhu Yuanzhang would die soon, and these old Zhu took advantage of him, bullied him, intimidated him, and wanted to get him to the palace as a eunuch...... Thinking of this, Liu Chun gritted his teeth, wishing that Lao Zhu would return to Cangtian as soon as possible.
But when Zhu Yuanzhang died, Liu Chun felt a heartache...... The reaction of the people is often the most real.
The sorrow of the people cannot be faked.
Maybe they don't know how lucky they are!
For two thousand years, the emperors of all dynasties have not cherished ordinary people like Zhu Yuanzhang...... They have lost forever a monarch worthy of being remembered!
Liu Chun came back from the street, and Lan Xinyue prepared incense candles for him, as well as a linen crown filial piety dress. Liu Chun was dressed properly, respectfully, and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait, kneeling for two whole hours!
He knelt willingly, as a matter of course!
When Liu Chun stood up again, there was one more thing in his hand, that is, the imperial examination paper that Zhu Yuanzhang had finally approved, and the bright red cross on it was so eye-catching!
"Qi Tai, you're dead!" Liu Chun gritted his teeth, to be honest, for the sake of the great cause of Jingnan, he was reluctant to kill Qi Tai, but there was no way, he was looking for death by himself, so it was no wonder that Liu Chun.
This test paper was sent by Xu Miaojin, and the person who handed the test paper to Xu Miaojin was the old eunuch in the palace! He took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's illness to steal the test paper in Lao Zhu's hand into his arms, risking his life and passing it out. Finally, Liu Chun knew the cause of Zhu Yuanzhang's death......
