Everyone knows that this baby boy was later Zhu Yuanzhang.
Usually, there will be some similar strange records in the historical books of the emperor when he was born, such as wind, heavy rain, fragrance, stars flashing in the sky, and red lights everywhere. Anyway, I want to tell you that this person is different from others. Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception. When he was born, the ground was filled with red lights, and strange lights appeared in the house at night, so that the neighbors thought that a fire had occurred and came to rescue him (" Ming Shi Ji ").
However, the farmer Zhu Wusi was not in a mood like the anxious and joyful fathers we saw outside the hospital delivery room today. As fathers who already have three sons and two daughters, the first thing they need to consider is the issue of eating.
The work of a farmer Zhu Wusi is composed of two parts. He has a tofu shop, but he mainly relies on the land of the farmer's family to make a living. This determines that as a member of this working family, he has to work constantly to survive.
One month after Xiao Zhu Wusi was born, his parents gave him a name (convention in the Yuan Dynasty): Zhu Chongba, this name can also be called Zhu Baba. Let’s introduce here that the names of the Zhu Chongba family are all very distinctive.
Zhu Chongba’s name: Zhu Bailiu ;
Zhu Chongba’s great-grandfather name: Zhu Sijiu ;
Zhu Chongba’s grandfather name: Zhu Chuyi ;
His father has been introduced, and it is called Zhu Wusi.
is named such a name not because the Zhu family is engaged in mathematics, but because in Yuan Dynasty , if ordinary people cannot go to school or become officials, they will have no names, and they can only be named after the age of their parents or the date of birth (people who register their household registration will definitely be dazzled).
Zhu Chongba spent his childhood in a broken thatched hut with cold winters and warm summers, ventilation on all sides and good lighting. His main job was to herd cattle for the landlord Liu De's family. He once wanted to study, but Zhu Wusi couldn't afford the tuition. He did not have the sentiment of Li Mi's Niujiao hanging books, and naturally he did not have the high-ranking official like Yang Su to appreciate him. So he honestly helped Liu De release the ox for twelve years.
Because, he wants to have a meal.
At this time, Zhu Chongba's dream was to live well. When he was sixteen years old, he would ask Mrs. Wu at the entrance of the village to be a matchmaker, find a diligent and capable girl to be a wife, and then give birth to her own children. Their children's names may be Zhu Saner or Zhu Siling. When Zhu Saner and others grew up, they would ask them to herd cattle at the landlord Liu Xiaode's house.
This is Zhu Chongba’s happy yearning for future life at the age of sixteen.
At this time, China was under the rule of the extremely corrupt Yuan Dynasty. The conquerors from Mongolia did not seem to think that the people under their rule were humans. They even often considered killing all the guys who occupied the land and then used the land to grazing (" Yuan Shi "). From taxes to corvee service, as long as it is a subject that people can think of, they can be used to collect money. During the holidays, there are "frequent money" in work, and there are "business money" in lawsuits... If you are afraid, then can't I go out? Isn't it okay to not do anything? That doesn't work either. You have to ask for money for no reason, and you have to collect "spread money". Am I convinced?
So, after this majestic nation ruled China for more than 60 years, their state machinery had reached an unbearable level. At this time, the Yuan Empire was like a surviving camel, waiting for the last straw in life.
This straw arrives soon.
1344 is a year of special significance. In this year, God was finally ready to abandon Yuan. He brought two disasters to China. At the same time, he dug a tomb for Yuan and wrote an epitaph: Stone man has one eye, provoking Yellow River The world is against.
He thought very thoughtfully and prepared a person who filled the soil for Yuan: Zhu Chongba.
Of course, Zhu Chongba would not have thought that God would give him such an important task.
This year, he was seventeen years old.
A disaster will soon come to him, but at the same time, a great cause is also waiting for him. Only like the legendary phoenix, who has gone through hardships, put into fire, and after thousands of temperings, can he be reborn as a divine bird with a radiance of light.
Zhu Chongba, come on, the God of Destiny is waiting for you!
