The six divisions have come out repeatedly, and the dust in Mobei is clear. By the end of the year, Weide was served, and those who paid tribute died in thirty countries. The width of the fall is far from the Han and Tang Dynasties. Success, success, excellence.
History of the Ming Dynasty's comments on Ming Chengzu Zhu Di can be described as praise, especiallyFar from the Han and Tang DynastiesThis sentence has almost become a must-use word for those who praise the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di can be so praised in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", naturally he also has his merits, it was during the Zhu Di period that the international influence of the Ming Dynasty reached its peak.
However, when modern online articles quote the praise of Zhu Di in "History of the Ming Dynasty", they often ignore the last sentence of this evaluation.
Why? Elimination(Elimination: appeasement).On the occasion,Perverse, shameful(Yihao: What's it?).It's cover-up.
This is really not a good thing, but the editors of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" of the Qing Dynasty are still very polite to Zhu Di, Zhu DiPerverseBut there was not only one martyrdom, he did a lot of things that lacked morality, many of which were closely related to the final demise of the Ming Dynasty.
Based on this article, I will take you to count what Zhu Di has done that played a role in promoting the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di has been fighting a banner in the Battle of Jingjing, which is to criticize Emperor Jianwen and his subordinates for not abiding by the system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he said that his army was to punish traitors and restore Zhu Yuanzhang's system. However, a series of measures after he ascended the throne are changing the established national policy formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The most obvious of these is that Zhu Di changed Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of encroaching on the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and he restored Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of going deep into the Mobei Plough Court to sweep the caves in the early and middle periods.
However, if the strategy of ploughing the court and sweeping the caves was useful, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have sealed the king and gradually encroached on the Northern Yuan. Zhu Di, as one of the kings of Yan, should be the most aware of the stalemate between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty. From his eyes, he should be able to see that Beiyuan is not the kind of master who can be destroyed with a few ploughs and caves.
But why did Zhu Di do this?
Misplaced! 
This is the key reason why Zhu Di did this, in order to downplay the fact that he was a traitor to the king and seize the throne, in order to prove to the world that he should be the heir of Zhu Yuanzhang, is there a better way to correct his name than the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which was not eliminated by Zhu Yuanzhang?
However, because Zhu Yuanzhang adopted the strategy of encroaching on the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the middle and late stages of his reign, the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were scattered in the vast north from Liaodong to Jiayuguan. The ploughing court and sweeping the cave required a large number of troops to make the trip, so as soon as Zhu Difu ascended the throne, he moved many guards in the north.
In particular, he moved the two giant guards of Daningwei and Dongshengwei, which made Zhu Di gather more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at once, but it made Zhu Yuanzhang spend more than ten years to establish the defense line in southern Mongolia to become precarious.
Daning Wei is north of Jizhen, and is a giant guard with 80,000 soldiers and the best cavalry in the world. It was responsible for severing the connection between the Mongol tribes in Liao and the Northern Yuan royal court on the Mongolian plateau. Zhu Di rewarded Daningwei to the Mongolian Uliangha who assisted him in his rebellion, but it was this Uliangha that became the biggest result of Zhu Di's four imperial expeditions.
Dongshengwei controlled the Hetao and Ordos steppes, which not only guarded the most beautiful grasslands of the Mongols, but also cut off the interconnection between the two main Mongolian tribes at that time, Warat and Tatar. After Zhu Di moved it to the Great Wall, Warat took advantage of Zhu Di's attack on Tatar to secretly infiltrate eastward without any obstacles, and quietly strengthened his strength while watching the tiger fight. In the end, Warat annexed Tatar, and Warat, who was born in Warat, also became the Great Khan of Mongolia first, and staged the Mongolian version of Quwodaiyi!
And Zhu Di changed his Lao Tzu's strategy four times in the Northern Expedition, ploughing and sweeping the holes, and each time he sent 500,000 troops, which looked very good, but the results were not proportional to the troops. The final result was to consume a lot of manpower and material resources in the Ming Dynasty, forcing Sun Tzu Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji to implement a contraction strategy. At the same time, he helped Warat annex Tatar, and also demolished the Mengnan defense line that Zhu Yuanzhang had painstakingly managed, and basically dug the pit of Tumubao for his great-grandson Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Di's Northern Expedition was to gamble on his personal honor with the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, and obviously he lost the bet.
During the 14 years from the eleventh year of Hongwu (1378) to the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu (1391), Zhu Yuanzhang divided the nine kings of Han, Liao, Ning, Yan, Gu, Dai, Jin, Qing, and Su from east to west.
They have only one task - to encroach on the Northern Yuan.
It should be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy was very successful, at least when he was alive. Because the sons were very powerful, from Liaodong to the Western Regions, before Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Ming Dynasty had established a defense line in southern Mongolia that stretched thousands of miles.
The Ming army stationed in the defense line of southern Mongolia constantly organized the 'night not collected' squad to go north to search and kill the Mongolian tribes, and achieved brilliant results. For example, the most fertile grassland on the Mongolian steppe - Ordos grassland, to the point where the wind blows the grass and there are no cattle and sheep! The Mongol tribes that lost their southern pastures had a serious involution, and the Mongol tribes turned their backs on the Northern Yuan Dynasty and switched to the Ming Dynasty to make a living.
But this was a gratifying scene for the Ming Dynasty, and it came to naught with Zhu Di's usurpation.
Although Zhu Di gathered the vassal kings' armies in various places under the guise of concentrating his troops on the Northern Expedition, anyone with a discerning eye understood that he was afraid that his younger brothers would follow suit, and what would be good if he imitated himself one day. Moreover, the king of Cyprus has 400,000 troops, and Zhu Di really has to concentrate these elite border troops under the king of Cyprus if he wants to go on the Northern Expedition. But he not only collected the soldiers of the king of Sai, but also the king of the inland domain.
Zhu Di not only deprived the vassal kings of their military rights, but also deprived them of their participation in political power!
Zhu Yuanzhang made an order not to let his children and grandchildren come out to work, but he didn't say that they couldn't participate in politics?
The kings, Zhu Yuanzhang has given the military power, isn't this participating in national politics?
Obviously, Zhu Di maliciously misinterpreted the will promulgated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and treated all the vassal kings as 'pigs' and raised them in captivity, and now the descendants of the surname Zhu are really the same as their surnames. The vassal kings who had nothing to do turned into stallions one by one, desperately adding Ding to the Zhu family.
Of course, the vassal kings are not high-spirited, and if Zhu Di wants to collect their military power, he naturally has to give corresponding benefits. Specifically, Zhu Di promised the kings that there is no historical record, but since then, it has become a fixed item that the vassal king's fields do not pay national taxes. Although this rule was set by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang would give a vassal king dozens of hectares of land, but since Zhu Di's son Mingrenzong Zhu Gaochi opened the precedent of giving vassal kings, the land controlled by the Ming Dynasty vassal kings began to grow geometrically.
This phenomenon of the vassal king's control of the land out of control appeared immediately after Zhu Di's death, obviously it is not as simple as Zhu Di dying and can't control it, it should be that Zhu Di and the vassal kings did something that is not recorded in history.
Due to Zhu Di's pig raising policy, not only did the basic plate of taxation in the Ming Dynasty continue to narrow over time; Moreover, the vassal king also controlled a large number of elite population, which was untouchable in the Ming Dynasty, which made the Ming Dynasty lose tens of thousands of elite soldiers and completely lose the initiative in the war between the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Zhu Di raised pigs, and he was relieved, but the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule was constantly eroded under this policy.
From March to May of the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420), Zhu Di ordered the arrest of all the female nuns and female Taoist priests in Jingshi, and escorted the Jingshi for examination.
Why? 
Tang Sayer is missing!
Because Zhu Di's construction of Beijing is huge, and most of the building materials transported to Beijing have to pass through Shandong, so in the process of Zhu Di's construction of Beijing, the most bitter and tired people are the people of Shandong.
I can't bear it, I don't need to endure it anymore.
So a woman named Tang Sayer came to the annals of history as the leader of the first large-scale peasant uprising recorded in the Ming Dynasty.
For this uprising, of course, Zhu Di will not think that it is his fault. So the officials in Shandong fell into blood mold, starting from the political envoy of Shandong, the senator, the deputy envoy, the servant and all the officials of the prefecture and county where the uprising occurred, did not escape Zhu Di's ** knife!
Of course, after killing his own family, Zhu Di will not forget the organizers of this uprising, especially the woman named Tang Sai'er.
However, a strange scene appeared at this time - Tang Sayer and other leaders of the uprising disappeared!
After getting this news, Zhu Di fell into deep thought.
As soon as Zhu Di, who abides by Zhu Yuanzhang's system, ascends the throne, he immediately restores the Jinyi Guard, which was abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, Jinyiwei was stronger than in the Zhu Yuanzhang period, and the checkpoints set up in the world during the Zhu Yuanzhang period were also inherited by Zhu Di one by one, but Tang Sai'er and others disappeared like this!
Apparently someone hid them!
But what kind of person can hide from the brocade guards who ride all over the world? What kind of person can make the checkpoints of the Ming Dynasty become the ears of the deaf - ornaments?!
Is Jinyiwei still reliable?
Thinking of this, Zhu Di set his eyes on the eunuchs around him, these eunuchs followed him in the Battle of Jingjing, and they were all very reliable.
In the eighteenth year of Yongle, a sign was hung in front of the city gate tower in Beijing, which will become a lingering shadow in the hearts of the subjects of the Ming Dynasty in the next 200 years.
There are four big characters on the sign——East Investigation Factory
Zhu Yuanzhang clearly stipulated that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, but if the governor of Dongchang did not interfere in politics, how could he fulfill the tasks assigned to him by Zhu Di?
It is said that the inner study hall was opened in the Zhu Di period, and the Ming Dynasty royal began to teach the eunuchs to read and learn characters, which paved the way for the eunuchs to enter the historical stage of the Ming Dynasty. And Wang Zhen, the first eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, was willing to be castrated in order to teach in the inner study hall.
Zhu Di not only ruled by spies, but also the founder of the Ming Dynasty's eunuch interference.
Originally, it was a great thing for Zhu Di to resume the foreign trade that was forbidden by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he came to a happy event for a funeral, and he insisted on making a tribute that was not like four!
In order to show that he was the lord of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di deliberately upgraded the foreign trade team to an embassy, and then let them go ashore from a place far away from Beijing, showing off to the Ming Dynasty people how much foreign recognition he had received. The states and counties where these missions passed had to be well entertained by the missions, and after arriving in Beijing, Zhu Di rewarded the missions even more.
To put it bluntly, the tribute is to satisfy the hard-earned money of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and he Zhu Di is a person of vanity.
The tribute system made the Ming Dynasty royal monopoly on foreign trade, which made the Ming emperors after Zhu Di unwilling to give up this piece of big fat. However, under this strange ** system, it will inevitably make the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty become a channel for the royal family to obtain luxury goods, which will naturally cause serious excesses and a large loss of gold and silver overseas.
So starting from Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty opened mines all over the world, which made the "History of the Ming Dynasty" full of records of miners' uprisings! The subsequent outings to the capital and the rebellion of the Houjin are all closely related to the tribute!
And what is even more interesting is that the Aixin Jueluo family, which fled to the Korean Peninsula, was recruited back to Liaodong by Zhu Di, and the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard of the Aixin Jueluo family was also sealed by Zhu Di.
Zhu Di really prepared everything for the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Di's so-called rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang can't be changed is a joke, Zhu Yuanzhang's opening of the king, the abolition of Jinyiwei, the prohibition of eunuchs from interfering in politics, the retreat and the sea and so on, have all been changed by Zhu Di one by one, and even intensified.
There is no need to dwell on those small mistakes one by one, but these four major mistakes obviously had a profound negative impact on the Ming Dynasty behind Zhu Di.
Five out of the desert north, three plough court, north to build the Forbidden City, excavate the canal, south to repair Wudang, to appease Zhufan, six to the West, nine to the North Sea, conquest of Annam, casting bells, compilation of the canon.
Zhu Di did more things than Qianlong, the most capable emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and his tossing degree was only comparable in history, such as Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Yang of Sui, and Emperor Yuan Shizu. Obviously, Zhu Di belongs to the one who is not high or low among these tossing masters, and his merits are not comparable to his consumption, but the Ming Dynasty was not tossed to death by him, but what he left to future generations is basically negative assets.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty became the earliest dynasty to enter the contraction period among the great unified dynasties that existed for more than a hundred years was all due to Zhu Di.
