When it comes to the founding emperor, who do you think of first?
Qin Shihuang As the first emperor in history, he set a precedent for emperors. We all say that everything is difficult at the beginning. Qin Shihuang unified the world and became the emperor. Naturally, he was the most difficult emperor to achieve great deeds. But in fact, this is not the case. Compared with Qin Shihuang, it is more difficult for grassroots people like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang to become emperors.
Why was it not so difficult for Qin Shihuang to gain power? Qin Shihuang, who unified China in ten years, actually accomplished the unification with the help of the achievements accumulated by his ancestors over the past dynasties. As for Han Gaozu , Liu Bang and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, they were not as lucky as Qin Shihuang, because they did not have favorable and decisive conditions. Just like you and me now, we were ordinary people who could not believe that one day they could become emperors.
Compared with Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bang's conditions will be slightly better, because Liu Bang was already the chief of Surabaya pavilion before the uprising, which is equivalent to the director of a police station now. He can still manage a few people and has a little power.
And when Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, it could almost be said that it was an accident or a blessing from God. He started with a bowl and relied on himself to make the rest of the equipment. He was born in poverty. Before joining the rebel army, he didn't even have a decent name. His relatives all starved to death. In order to have a mouthful of food, Zhu Yuanzhang worked as a beggar and a monk. But even so, is it still impossible to survive? Anyway, starvation is death, rebellion is death, and joining the rebel army can still have a full meal, so Zhu Yuanzhang joined the rebel army of Guo Zixing without hesitation. There were many counter-resistance rebels at that time, among which there were three major forces. Generally speaking, they were relatively strong. In addition to Guo Zixing's rebel army, the armies of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng were equally powerful, but only one person could be the emperor. There is still a game between these forces, and Zhu Yuanzhang has really been favored by God. No matter how cruel the war is, no matter how difficult the conditions are, Zhu Yuanzhang just can't die. He has passed through many obstacles along the way, defeated his enemies from all walks of life, and finally established a new dynasty.
In 1368 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang and Nanjing proclaimed themselves emperor, and the Ming Dynasty was officially established. After the final name was Hongwu, the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition were launched.
In the end, after fifteen years, the country was truly unified. The difficulties during this period are conceivable. In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang's courage and ability, I think the more important thing is the blessing of the goddess of luck.
In fact, in history, it was not easy for emperors to establish dynasties. When facing every war, many people were determined to die, just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the beginning of the uprising. Maybe they were just for simple food and clothing or to save their own lives. Later, they established their own dynasty due to a combination of circumstances. But no matter the reason, after establishing your own dynasty and conquering the country, you should manage it well.
The founding emperors of all dynasties have laid down a kingdom for their descendants, and the main reason why they were replaced by other emperors was because of their inaction after gaining comfort. Therefore, it is difficult to start a business and even harder to keep a business. It is very important to be prepared for danger in times of peace. These four words are also given to each of us to encourage each other.
