In today’s society, novels about time travel are everywhere. However, time travel novels have a fatal flaw, that is, there were serious class barriers in ancient times, which were difficult to overcome in ancient times. Fu Youde is Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In terms of general merits, Fu Youde ranks first." He was such a brave general, but he was brutally murdered because of his class attributes. This is the tragedy of Xingtian, and the reason why Fu Youde calls Xingtian a hero.
Fu Youde
1. A twists and turns of origin
Fu Youde was a person from the time of Zhu Yuanzhang. Why is his popularity so low? This is related to Fu Youde's origin. This does not mean that Fu Youde was born a peasant. There were many peasant uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang was born a beggar. Therefore, farmers are not the key factor in Fu Youde's origin.
The key factor in Fu Youde's background is that he is not Zhu Yuanzhang's old Ming team. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many heroes came together, among which Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, was the most powerful. After Han Shantong's death, Liu Futong welcomed Han Shantong's son Han Lin'er as King Xiao Ming, the leader of the world's anti-Yuan Dynasty. Fu Youde was nominally Han Lin'er's subordinate at this time. He was a fierce general under Liu Futong's Li Xixi. However, Han Lin'er's forces were helpless against the Yuan Dynasty army. Li Xixi was defeated and Fu Youde followed the army to retreat to Sichuan.
At that time, Sichuan was dominated by Xu Shouhui . Fu Youde abandoned Li Xixi and followed Xu Shouhui's Ming Yuzhen . But Xu Shouhui had a traitorous subordinate named Chen Youliang . When Chen Youliang rebelled against Xu Shouhui, Fu Youde and Chen Youliang cut their forces. Taking advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's army moving up the river, Fu Youde took the opportunity to join Zhu Yuanzhang. During the Poyang Lake water battle, Fu Youde shot and wounded Chen Youliang and became the first person under Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the Poyang Lake water battle.
This is the twists and turns of Fu Youde's life experience, and it also foreshadows his bumpy ending.

2. Founding Heroes
Many of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty are familiar to everyone, such as Xuda, Chang Yuchun, Lanyu and so on. Why is Fu Youde not famous? Because Fu Youde acted as deputy commander and acted together with other generals. When Zhu Yuanzhang was conferring meritorious officials, Fu Youde was ranked twenty-eighth. He was awarded the title of Assistant to the founding of the country and a military minister of sincerity and power. He was promoted to Dr. Ronglu, Zhuguo, and Tongzhi Governor's Mansion . He was named the Marquis of Yingchuan, with a salary of 1,500 shi, a life insurance certificate, and was hereditary for his descendants.
Fu Youde's contributions include but are not limited to:
pacified Zhang Shicheng. From then on, there was only one King Wu in Jiangnan , and South China was pacified from then on.
takes over Shanxi. Fu Youde followed Xu Da and cooperated with the Ming Dynasty's army to go north to Shanxi, occupy Yuci and surround Taiyuan. The strategy of encirclement and reinforcements severely defeated the Yuan army and was an important strategic pillar for the Ming army to capture Beijing.
pacified Western Shu. Fu Youde cooperated with tang and to pacify Xishu. This battle is very legendary, and the Shu army has battle elephant . I will not go into details about the process, but Zhu Yuanzhang finally determined that Fu Youde was first in merit in this battle, and Liao Yongzhong was second.
conquered northern Xinjiang. Fu Youde followed Feng Sheng to attack today's Gansu and other places, and drove the Yuan Dynasty forces out of Gansu.
pacified Yunnan. At this time, the largest Mongolian power in China was the power of the Yuan and Liang kings who had occupied Yunnan. The Mongolian rule of Yunnan was a process of integrating Yunnan into China. At this moment, there are no two masters in the sky, and Yunnan must clarify its position. With Fu Youde as the commander-in-chief and Lan Yu and Muying as deputy commanders, the army entered Yunnan and pacified Yunnan.
Pacification of Yunnan
3. Why bother
In fact, Fu Youde has already seen some clues in pacifying Yunnan. In the early stage of the battle, Fu Youde was the deputy of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. Although he had great achievements, he was not a decision-making figure. But when it comes to conquering Yunnan, the Ming army needs a general who can fight against the Mongolian and Yuan armies and is familiar with the hot and humid climate in the south. These factors are difficult to get together. Fu Youde is expected by everyone, but from his deputy commanders Lan Yu and Mu Yingneng, it can be seen that Fu Youde's important purpose in this battle is to lead the way for newcomers.If Fu Youde understands the truth, as the coach, his main task should be to support Lan Yu and Mu Ying, and not to take credit for himself.
But Fu Youde did not do this. In fact, after Yunnan was pacified, Fu Youde was granted the title of Duke, paving the way for his sad ending.
Ten years later, one day Zhu Yuanzhang held a banquet with his ministers and discovered that the guard was not wearing the sword pouch properly. He was the son of Fu Youde. At the banquet that day, Zhu Yuanzhang accused Fu Youde of failing to finish the meal.
Fu Youde went home depressed, but soon received an imperial edict from Zhu Yuanzhang, requesting: "Bring his head to you." Soon Fu Youde took the heads of his two sons to see Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was about to accuse Fu Youde of being too cruel and unethical, but Fu Youde said that Zhu Yuanzhang was pretending to be in love and was just trying to kill Fu Youde's family. So Fu Youde pulled out his dagger and committed suicide in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Fu Youde is right, Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted the lives of his family. After Fu Youde's death, the whole family was exiled from the army and distributed to the army.

Han Yan Bingyu
Fu Youde died because of his background as a rebel.
This class barrier is even more serious than the barrier between farmers and ministers. Because this origin cannot be changed.
In fact, not only Zhu Yuanzhang was taboo against people like Fu Youde, but also Zhu Di was taboo against people of different origins.
The power of the Ming Dynasty
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this kind of people were called " fallen people". They include actors, those attending weddings and funerals, and family members of demoted officials. People like
could not get ahead in ancient times, and even farmers who farmed the land were better than them.
Because they are not allowed to read.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, being unable to study meant that there was no way to rise. In fact, the number of people like
was about 10% of the total number of people in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is not a small number. If time travel really happened, the probability of becoming one of these people would be higher than the probability of becoming a prince or noble.
The reason why Fu Youde fights so hard is because he wants to get rid of his status as a "lower person". After he became a rebel, his descendants could only be degenerates. This was the main reason why Zhu Yuanzhang looked down on Fu Youde from the bottom of his heart. It's a pity that Fu Youde's efforts were in vain.
Until the Yongzheng dynasty, Yongzheng legally prohibited people from becoming untouchables. But civil discrimination has not disappeared.
What truly frees society from the identity of such people is the socialist New China.
Not only do people no longer have differences in origin, but the skills of many people have become unique skills.
The most typical ones are the craftsmen who play silk and bamboo. Their status today is called the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. These expertise with distinctive local characteristics are very famous cultural traces in China.
At least if South Korea wants to steal them, it won't be possible in 180 years.
These intangible cultural heritage inheritors are important cultural symbols in China today and the pride of every Chinese.
