Next, let's talk about Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's specific political measures!
First, he had to cut down the vassals!
When Emperor Chengzu ascended the throne, he not only restored the titles of the kings, but also rewarded them greatly, such as giving 100,000 pounds of banknotes to King Zhu of Gu and 100,000 pounds of banknotes to King Zhu of Zhou.
80,000 pounds, 20,000 pounds to King Zhu, 20,000 pounds to King Zhi, etc. These were also needed to consolidate the new regime. Ming Chengzu is using
While the vassal kings consolidated the imperial power, they also realized the threat that the vassal kings posed to the imperial power. On one hand, they rewarded the vassal kings, on the other hand,
He was closely watching the movements of the vassal kings, and then he began to cut the vassals. However, his methods were more vigorous than Emperor Jianwen's.
There were three measures: to move the vassal kings in the border areas to the interior, to cut off the guards of the vassal kings, and to depose the vassal kings as commoners. During the Yongle period, Zhu Di would
The fief of Zhu Quan, King of Ning, was moved from Daning to Nanchang, Zhu Wei, King of Gu, was moved from the important town of Xuanfu to Changsha, and Zhu Zhi, King of Liao, was moved from the important town of Guangning to the inland Jing.
State, Han Wang Zhu Song fief from Kaiyuan moved to Pingliang. At the same time, the guards of Dai King, Min King, Liao King and Zhu Di's younger brother, Zhou King,
Li Jun was cut off, so that his military power was not enough to resist the court. Those who were deposed as commoners were King of Qi Zhu Wei and King of Gu Zhu Wei. King of Qi Zhu Wei was also deposed during Jianwen.
After he was deposed as a commoner, Ming Chengzu restored his old title, but he did not change his vicious nature." He secretly harbored assassins and recruited strange warlocks to curse him. He always used guards to guard him."
Qingzhou City, and the city built garden walls to cut off traffic, the city guard did not climb the city to patrol at night.”Later, he was reported, Ming Chengzu recalled him to the capital, courtiers were impeached
King Qi had been rude and unreasonable in the face of his sins."Traitor hehe, trying to imitate Jianwen again! I will kill all of them." Ming Chengzu firmly imprisoned him
In Nanjing, he removed the three guards and deposed him and his descendants as civilians. The King of the Valley, Zhu, was originally moved to the mainland, often because he had the merit of welcoming the surrender of Jinchuan Gate.
As for Pride, in the 15th year of Yongle, he was deposed as a commoner by Ming Chengzu because he plotted to rebel under the banner of Emperor Jianwen.
We have to talk about the problem of cutting the vassals!
To Zhu Yunwen, the Emperor of the Founding Era, cutting off his vassal state was his most brainless action!
We can compare it to the cutting of the vassals of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and we can know that this kind of thing is not suitable at all times!
"Why do you say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was bound to cut off his vassal state, while Emperor Jianwen was brainless?”
"First of all, we have to understand that the vassal kings of the Han Dynasty and the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are not the same concept. Although they are both vassal kings, their power is not limited.
Their strength is completely different."
"The vassal kings of the Han Dynasty have the power to govern, personnel, finance, and tax. They also have the power to recruit troops, which is the military power.”
"It can be said that the vassal kings of the Han Dynasty have a high degree of autonomy and are countries within countries. They don't have to listen to any orders from the emperor to prevent them from threatening the imperial power.”
"As for the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has directly cut off their ruling power, personnel power, and financial power.”
"Even their military power has been cut in half. They are only allowed to have a few thousand to twenty thousand guards.”
"And all the expenses of the prince's manor, including the military expenses of these guards, must be funded by the Imperial Court's Ministry of Revenue.”
"It can be said that the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty had almost no ability to resist the imperial court because he had no usable soldiers in his hands, and there was no surplus in the treasury.
Money and food. They did not even have the right to interfere with the appointment and removal of officials in the Imperial Residence.”
"Is there a need for such a vassal king to cut off his vassal? What kind of threat did he pose to the imperial power?”
.....
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dumbfounded.
Was this a f * cking king?
He felt like Zhu Yuanzhang's Great General.
With only a few personal guards, they could not interfere in local affairs. Without money, grain, and taxes, they could not even interfere in the appointment and removal of officials in the Imperial Residence. They were basically toothless tigers.
If he still doubted such a vassal king, then all the generals who led the army should be hacked to death. These people were at least from the royal family, so they were much more trustworthy than the generals.
"Then, there is indeed no need to cut the vassal.”
"These vassal kings can't threaten the imperial power at all.”
"So, please don't say that Zhu Yunwen is imitating Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Che will feel violated.”
..........
"Zhu Yunwen is definitely brainless!”
"However, Zhu Di cutting off the vassal state is indeed a must. It's an incomparably correct choice.”
.......
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
He sat on the throne and stared at the light screen in front of him. He was filled with anticipation.
Did Fang Datong really understand his plan?
.......
"Why did I say that Zhu Yunwen couldn't cut the vassal state? It's because he didn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's plan!”
"When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he severely punished and killed many of the founding heroes. Although some of them were corrupt and perverted the law, some were deliberately punished by Zhu Yuanzhang.”
"In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang will make the Great Ming Dynasty's generals wither!”
"And his second generation chose Emperor Wen. He was afraid of Zhu Yunwen. He was good at civil governance, but not good at martial arts. They would become as weak as the Song Dynasty.”
"In order to make up for this shortcoming, Zhu Yuanzhang assigned his son, who was the most capable of fighting, to the border of the Ming Dynasty.”
"The territory of the Fan Wang, along the northern border of Ming Dynasty, formed an airtight barrier, firmly guarding against the Northern Yuan cavalry and protecting the imperial power of Ming Dynasty.”
"Prince Yan Zhu Di and Prince Ning Zhu Quan were specially left behind by Zhu Yuanzhang for Zhu Yunwen. They are the two Guarding War Gods!”
"The King of Yan, Zhu Di, has fought with Northern Yuan many times, causing them to flee.”
"And Prince Ning's Duoyan Three Guards simply treat Northern Yuan as a place to herd horses.”
"As long as there are two War Gods, Prince Ning and Prince Yan, then Zhu Yunwen doesn't have to worry about foreign enemies. He can rule the country with peace of mind.”
"Even if Zhu Yunwen makes mistakes in governing the country, as long as the two War Gods are here, they can stop the foreign enemies externally and eliminate the rebellion internally.”
"Zhu Yuanzhang was also afraid that the two of them would rebel. He weakened the power of the vassal kings three times, making it impossible for the King of Yan and the King of Ning to rebel.”
"But Zhu Yunwen, before he could nurture his own general, he actually wanted to kill the National War God who guarded the border for him!”
"This is no different. Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei!"
"If all the vassal kings die, then the Northern Yuan cavalry will march straight in. At that time, who will Zhu Yunwen rely on to resist the Mongolian cavalry for him?”
