Gossip about Zhu Wenzheng

I recently wrote about Zhu Wenzheng. This general who only took 85 days to create a miracle of 20,000 troops to fight against a 600,000 army and was also a tragic genius general who had a lifetime of tragic. Many people said that I had criticized him. In fact, Xiao Jingzheng did not do this. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were fewer mentions about Zhu Wenzheng, even Baidu was just a few words. Compared with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun was pitiful. Xiao Jing took some effort to find his information and searched through the "History of Ming Dynasty", but he could not find the "Biography of Zhu Wen". Finally, in the 118th volume of Ming Dynasty, the Biography of Zhu Shouqian, the sixth biography of King Jingjiang, Zhu Shouqian of the Biography of Zhu Wen. It is not in the subsequent biographies that his son is a royal family, which is different from ordinary heroes. This is enough to be an opera.

Judging from various information, Zhu Wenzheng is undoubtedly a genius general. Mingyue even set the "fifth general in the world" for him. Xu Da, who is as famous as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun. Xiao Jing thinks this evaluation is not too low.

Zhu Wenzheng's lifelong failure is due to his personality, his personality is eccentric and his mind is not broad. This is also the result of his tragedy in establishing great achievements.

According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma have always cared for Zhu Wenzheng. When Zhu Yuanzhang was ordered by Guo Zixing to recruit soldiers for the first time, he specially found the widowed sister-in-law Wang, who had taken his children back to his parents' home, and the cousin-law Tian, ​​who was also widowed, and brought them back to Haozhou City to live with him. The two widowed sisters-in-law who had been widowed for many years were very good at doing things. Zhu Yuanzhang respected them very much and loved Zhu Wenzheng very much. When Zhu Wenzheng came to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife had not yet been able to give birth to children (the eldest son Zhu Biao was born two years later, in the fifteenth year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty). He attached great importance to Zhu Wenzheng, the eldest son of the Zhu family, the eldest son of the Zhu family, the eldest son of the Zhu family. Zhu Wenzheng was over ten years old at that time, but he was brave and good at fighting. When he crossed the river with the army, he captured Jiqing Road. He was promoted to Tonglian of the Privy Council for his repeated military achievements.

Gradually became one of Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted confidants. In the battle of Zhu Yuanzhang's "Emperor of Han", Chen Youliang, he led his troops to hold Chen Youliang under the city of Nanchang for more than 80 days and made decisive great achievements. Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang first established the Wu Kingdom, appointed Zhu Wenzheng as the first-rank governor, guarded Jiangxi, and governed Hongdu (now Nanchang City).

When the reward was granted, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "What official do you want to be?" Wen Zheng replied, "When my uncle has achieved great achievements, why not be rich? First, I will give my relatives official rewards, so how can I convince the public?" Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy when he heard this, and he really did not reward Zhu Wenzheng.

Zhu Wenzheng did not expect Zhu Yuanzhang to do this seriously, so he came to Jiangxi with resentment. After taking office, he became more and more angry. In anger, he did do a lot of bad things. According to historical records, he became unpredictable and the generals of the subordinates plundered his wife and daughter. The censor Li Yinbing reported that Zhu Wenzheng was arrogant and hopeful, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent an envoy to scold him. Zhu Wenzheng was afraid, and Li Yinbing reported that Zhu Wenzheng had a strange intention.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took a boat to the city and summoned Zhu Wenzheng. Zhu Wenzheng hurriedly came out to greet him. Zhu Yuanzhang said several times: "What are you going to do?" and then took him back to the capital. Empress Ma persuaded him: "This child is just a strong personality and nothing else." He was removed from office and placed under house arrest in Tongcheng and died not long after.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not become king of Zhu Wenzheng, he still compared with his promises back then. Zhu Shouqian was very good to Zhu Wenzheng's son.

When Zhu Wenzheng died, their son, Zhu Wei, whose nickname was Tiezhu, was only four years old. Although Zhu Yuanzhang killed his nephew and his wife, he adopted their son. When his father's chief governor Zhu Wenzheng was demoted, Tiezhu knew about it. Yuanzhang stroked his head and said, "You have no fear. Your father will not lead the education, forget the difficulties of the past, and be unrestrained and vicious, to make me worry. When you grow up in the future, I will be awarded the title, and you will not abolish your father. You should cultivate virtue and encourage your actions. If you fail to defeat your predecessors, you will not let your expectations down." In the palace, you were taught a lot. In the first year of Wu, your name was Wei, and later changed it to Shouqian.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget his nephew. On April 7, the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang feasted his ministers at Fengtianmen and Wenhua Hall, saying: "In the past, Yuan lost his control, and the heroes rose up, and the people were in trouble. I led my masters and disciples to calm the great disaster. The emperor and heaven were blessed, and the sea was peaceful. However, the world was so great that it would be built to build a vassal screen, protect the country, and safeguard the people. Now that the sons are old, they should each have titles and titles and conquer the countries. I am not my personal relatives, but I will follow it.

The ancient sage kings were the plan for the long-term and long-term rule." So the princes were conferred as kings. "The second son, Shi Zhi, was named King Qin, the third son, Shi Zhi, was King Jin, the fourth son, Di, was King Yan, Wu, the fifth son, Zhen, was King Chu, the seventh son, Shi Zhi, was King Qi, was King of Tan, the ninth son, Qi, was King Zhao, and Tan, the tenth son, was King of Lu, and was named King of Jingjiang. They were all given treasures, set up prime ministers and officials, and the etiquette had been customized, and the title was enthroned.

Among the princes who were granted the title, in addition to Zhu Yuanzhang's nine sons (Zhu Xiang was the King of Qin, Zhu? was the King of Jin, Zhu Di was the King of Yan, Zhu Su was the King of Wu, Zhu Zhen was the King of Chu, Zhu Jing was the King of Qi, Zhu Zi was the King of Tan, Zhu Qi was the King of Zhao, and Zhu Tan was the King of Lu), the other prince was Zhu Shouqian. He was named King of Jingjiang and was in Guilin, a vassal state.

Zhu Shouqian was his nephew. Although he was named Prince by an exception, he received the treatment of "a prince of the county and half of the princes of the official family."

According to the "History of Ming Dynasty" Volume 54, "The King of Jingjiang was granted the title of Prince, so he regarded Qin and Jin Yi." However, when he was granted the vassal, Zhu Yuanzhang did not clarify that King Jingjiang was the prince. Judging from the two-character king, Zhu Yuanzhang did differentiate King Jingjiang from other princes. Therefore, "History of Ming Dynasty" believes that "King Jingjiang was granted the title of Prince as his grandson of Nanchang." However, Zhu Yuanzhang still had high hopes for him: "Jigu"

When the emperor was in peace, he would build his relatives and build his family. Therefore, he was able to strengthen his family and consolidate his foundation. He came to the scene. I was a commoner and did not calm down at the time. I went through the army and carried the fortune and founded the foundation. After a year of hardship, I became a master of the king. This was all the blessings of heaven and earth and the ancestors accumulated virtue. Now that I am the emperor, I am chasing my brother to guard the humbleness and grandson of my brother, so that Wang Jingjiang can be used to maintain the vast sea. In the play, I think about the difficulty of starting a business, so I will be cautious in accepting the system of the throne, and I will never Don't forget the instructions, and I will be a supporter of the country and vassals forever. I should be careful to be cautious.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Shouqian grew up. Zhu Yuanzhang chose the daughter of the commander Xu Cheng, the commander of Guangxi, as the legitimate concubine for Zhu Shouqian, who was fourteen years old. After marriage, Zhu Shouqian was considered an adult and could "get a vassal" to his own country. However, Zhu Shouqian was unwilling to be granted, and after being comforted by Empress Ma, he went on a journey on October 28, 9th year of Hongwu. When he arrived in Changsha, he expressed his gratitude. Yuanzhang looked at it and cried and cried. He then specially ordered the civil and military officials of the royal palace: "Shouqian is not strong, but he still has a childlike heart. Since he left the southwest, only the ministers of civil and military affairs are relying on. If you say that Shouqian is capable, you do not plan with him or guide him or reason, you are not a wise man and gentleman. It is better to encourage him to learn and lure him to be kind. If you do not follow, you must be calm and open and make his virtue. Shouqian is young, and I will let him do what he is doing, because he is a civil and military minister. You are respectful to my orders and do not neglect.

Zhu Shouqian arrived in Guilin on the 21st of the first lunar month of the following year. At this time, Shouqian was over fifteen years old. It was difficult for the civil and military officials of the royal palace to be heard. He caused sighs and resentment among the officials and people in Guangdong and Guangxi. Zhu Yuanzhang then recalled him to Nanjing for discipline, and then deposed him as a commoner in the imperial city of Fengyang. Seven years later, he felt that his nephew's grandson's attitude had changed, so he restored his title and sent him to Yunnan to be the king. The treatment he was given was changed to the seal of the King of Jingjiang, which should have been silver.

The prince's gold seal and gold book also increased in salary. The officials' ceremonial guards reached the standard of the crown prince. However, Zhu Shouqian was not careful in constitutional rules and was incompatible with villains. He was rude and was vicious and cruel, and he abused the yin and the people of the country. He even wrote poems to ridicule him. He led the past and the present, and was mostly injustice. Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and deposed him as a commoner and "incarnated the capital". Soon after, he repeated Zhu Wenzheng's old path. His eldest son Zhu Zanyi was adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
