You must not know that the six dukes of the Ming Dynasty were originally ten dukes, so why did they eventually become six dukes?Who are the other four people?
If you know the answer, you can tell Huaixia Scholar in the comment area!Let's talk about it in detail.
Everyone is already familiar with the six founding dukes of the Ming Dynasty, such as Li Shanchang, Duke of Korea, Xu Da, Duke of Wei, Chang Mao, Duke of Zheng, Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao, Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, and Deng Yu, Duke of Wei.
These six can become the founding dukes of the Ming Dynasty because they have made great contributions and are very old in the process of assisting Lao Zhu to expel the tyrannical yuan and restore China, so they were able to be named the founding dukes after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this Zheng Guogong died early because Chang Yuchun did not catch up with Hongwu's three-year knighthood, so his son Chang Mao inherited the duke. And Cao Guogong is the same father and son.
However, there are four other people who also have great merit, some of whom are even older, but because of some mistakes, they finally stopped being feudal.
The first place, soup and.
Regarding why Tang He can't be crowned a duke, Huaixia Scholar has talked about it in detail before, and if you are interested, you can look back. One is that he often makes mistakes because of drinking, such as the famous drunken complaint: "My town and this city, if you sit on the roof, if you look left, you will be left, and if you are right, you will be right." One is that he made general military mistakes, suffered repeated defeats, and dragged down large troops.
Lao Zhu explained that he could not be crowned a duke in this way: "The imperial historian Tang He, who is the same as me, is in the same league as me, and has made many meritorious contributions, but he is addicted to alcohol and kills, and he can't help it. ”
In the fourth year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu was not active in Tang and Shu, and once again mentioned the old things: "The old people of Erzhen, since Hao Liang obeyed each other, the military merits are not fine, Yijue Er is the duke, the fate and merit are not hidden, and Fenger is the first marquis." Now he can't work hard, but he will be meritorious, and I pity him very much. "I kind of hate the way iron doesn't make steel.
second place, Liao Yongzhong.
Liao Yongzhong We have talked about several issues before, he was particularly meritorious in the battle of Dingding in the Ming Dynasty and the battle of Poyang Lake, and Lao Zhu gave him eight words of praise after the war: "Meritorious generals, wise and virtuous teachers."
After the pacification of Fujian, the pacification of Liangguang, the Northern Expedition, etc., all established a lot of meritorious achievements. "History of the Ming Dynasty" commented: "Liao Yongzhong is wise and brave and super-mai, and he is a Song Dynasty and Ying." ”
However, on the issue of the death of King Xiao Ming, Liao Yongzhong may have speculated too much about Lao Zhu's mind and ruined Lao Zhu's reputation. In this regard, Lao Zhu explained that Liao Yongzhong could not be crowned a duke in this way: "When Liao Yongzhong fought in Poyang, he forgot his body bravely and refused to fight the enemy boat. ”
The "Tongjian Bo Treatise" written by Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, recorded: "Shen Han Lin'er was in Guabu, and the injustice of the Ming Dynasty was evil and loyal to him, and he was given death. It directly confirmed that Liao Yongzhong speculated about Lao Zhu's thoughts, so he killed King Xiao Ming.
third place, Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong's background is similar to Liao Yongzhong's, both of them are from Chaohu Water Army. Fighting all the way to the south and the north, he also established a lot of meritorious deeds. In particular, he followed Li Wenzhong's Northern Expedition to attack Qingyang and Yingchang. Captured the Li Bara bought by the grandson of Emperor Yuan Shun, and seized the heirloom treasures such as Song and Yuan jade seals, books, jade books, Zhengui, and jade axes.
In this battle, the Northern Yuan was hit hard and was forced to withdraw the main force into Mobei, and the Ming army advanced the defense line to the north of Yingchang, and the Yuan generals Jiang Wenqing and Yang Sizu led more than 50,000 people to surrender to the Ming.
Zhao Yong's credit was originally the greatest, but he floated away, and lived in Emperor Yuan Shun and lived in Yingchang to privately accept slaves. Lao Zhu explained that he could not be named a duke: "Zhao Yong took Ying Chang from Pingzhang Li Wenzhong, and his merits were not detailed, but he was a slave and maid, and he abolished the national law. ”
fourth place, Guo Xing.
Guo Xing's original name was Guo Zixing, he was the same as Tang He, he belonged to the twenty-four generals of Huaixi, and he didn't say anything about his qualifications. At the same time, compared with the others, his sister is Lao Zhu's concubine, and he is Lao Zhu's eldest brother.
Guo Xing went all the way, experienced the Battle of Poyang Lake, pacified Zhang Shicheng, followed Xu Da's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, guarded Tongguan, etc., and his contributions were not small.
As for why he was not crowned a duke, Lao Zhu's explanation was: "Guo Zixing, the governor of the capital, did not follow the orders of the lord and did not abide by discipline, although he had merits, he did not cover up." "This is not following the orders of the master and not being disciplined, does it come from the domineering brought about by his status as a relative?Or is it that Lao Zhu deliberately said this in order to suppress his relatives, in short, the scholars under Huaixia do not know!
The above are the four quasi-dukes in addition to the six founding dukes, who finally stopped being feudal because of some mistakes they made!
