History of China Express: Starting with an inventory of one emperor through the ages

Among the hundreds of emperors who had changed throughout the dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one who could take such drastic action against the Confucian sect of aristocratic families.

When Fang Chuanzi heard this, a look of confusion suddenly flashed across his face:

"Zhu Yuanzhang did this just after boarding the plane. He was still a bit complacent and did not consider the overall situation.……"

"There is a reason why the Confucian sect of aristocratic families can exist.……"

"Blindly eradicating it is still somewhat detrimental to the overall situation.……"

Sun Hang:

"It doesn't matter to Zhu Yuanzhang whether the overall situation is good or not.

Zhu Yuanzhang is stubborn and will do whatever he doesn't like……"

"The Ming Dynasty had just been established, and the Confucian sects of those aristocratic families were eager to rule the emperor using the previous methods."

"They wanted to use the name of Confucius and Mencius to divide the imperial power from Zhu Yuanzhang. This was also the main reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was quite angry at that time.……

"Because these are the Confucian sects of the aristocratic family who are constantly smearing Zhu Yuanzhang among the people, and Zhu Yuanzhang is very popular. If he does not give in, Zhu Yuanzhang will be ruined.……"

After hearing this, everyone understood why Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry and took direct and drastic action against the Confucian sect of the famous family.

It turned out that these Confucian families wanted to imitate the Song Dynasty, where Confucian families and the emperor were equal.

If it were any other emperor, he might still be tolerant and scrupulous about these Confucian families.

It's a pity that they met Zhu Yuanzhang, who was very bearish on life and death, and would act like a ruthless character if he didn't accept it.

Thinking of this, everyone admired Zhu Yuanzhang even more.

Sun Hang:

"And the most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang actually has his own backing.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang saved the people of the world from the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty. All the people at the bottom hated the Yuan Dynasty.

In particular, the lifestyle of the Yuan Dynasty was incompatible with the people of the Ming Dynasty, which caused the people to suffer humiliation and pain.……"

"So when Zhu Yuanzhang drastically eradicated the Confucian sect of the aristocratic family, the people all applauded, but no one stood up to support the Confucian sect of the aristocratic family.……"

"In the end, the Confucian sects of this family had no choice but to compromise and give up the confrontation with Zhu Yuanzhang.……"

When they heard this, all the netizens in the Dragon Kingdom immediately clapped their hands and applauded.

He exhaled loudly to relieve his breath.

At this time, Fang Chuanzi saw what Sun Hang said that Zhu Yuanzhang began to take great measures to clarify the family members.

The netizens of Longguo were relieved one by one.

This immediately made Fang Chuanzi jealous.

If you don't know the beginning of this topic, the final reputation that Fang Chuanzi started is all attributed to Sun Hang.

This made him very unhappy

"Okay, let’s address this issue directly.

Next, let’s quickly discuss Zhu Yuanzhang’s own achievements. After all, we have to give corresponding evaluation immediately.……"

Fang Chuanzi wished he could turn this page as soon as possible and get to the point as soon as possible

"In my impression, the most famous person in the entire Ming Dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang who killed heroes. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang and other emperors in later generations all had very powerful side jobs, but the emperor knew nothing about his main job.……"

"Except for a few emperors who were able to perform well, other emperors did not have many remarkable political achievements.……"

Fang Chuanzi originally wanted to be more disparaging, but thinking that Emperor Yongle was guarding the country and the emperor died in the country, he elevated the emperor of the Ming Dynasty a little more.

Of course, the derogatory meaning in the words is still very obvious.

"During the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates were constantly causing disturbances in the coastal areas. This was one of the many characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.……"

Sun Hang ignored Fang Chuanzi and went on to talk about Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements:

"Zhu Yuanzhang's first achievement was actually the first major thing he did in order to completely eliminate the Confucian sect of the aristocratic family, which was to popularize compulsory education.……"

"Yes, you heard it right, it is compulsory education, which is the same education that everyone of us has received since childhood."

When they heard what Sun Hang said about compulsory education, all the people in the Dragon Kingdom were excited.

What is compulsory education?

It is our current primary school to junior high school.

However, this compulsory education was gradually promoted after the establishment of the Dragon Kingdom. The college entrance examination was even resumed in the 1970s and 1980s.

But no one expected that during the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang actually started to promote compulsory education?

"How is this possible? Could it be said that during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, nine-year compulsory education was already universalized in primary and junior high schools?"

"I can’t believe that our ancestors had come up with this idea hundreds of years ago. Why do I feel it’s a bit unreal?……"

Usually, most people's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang and the Ming Dynasty still lies in some movies and TV dramas.

Or in junior high school textbooks.

Of course, because everyone does not have a deep understanding of history.

So when Sun Hang proposed compulsory education in the Ming Dynasty, everyone was in disbelief.

At this moment, Hu Qinghe, who was sitting in the studio, said directly:

"Sun Hang is right. Indeed, when Zhu Yuanzhang first ascended the throne, he vigorously began to promote universal education.……"

"To be honest, when I was studying this period of history, I was a little confused, because the education system of Zhu Yuanzhang’s Law was almost exactly the same as the modern system.……"

"Let Sun Hang explain the details to everyone...

Sun Hang nodded and said:

"After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the purpose of Daxing Education was to cultivate real talents and break the Confucian school's monopoly on the qualifications of talented officials.……"

Only then did everyone understand Zhu Yuanzhang’s driving force for the great development of education.

It turned out that it was still aimed at the Confucian sect of aristocratic families.

After all, in ancient times, all officials in the imperial court were Confucian families or nobles.

That's why the Confucian sect of the aristocratic family was so rampant, because they had a cooperative relationship with the emperor.

If any emperor other than Zhu Yuanzhang dared to attack the Confucian family, then all the officials in the court would be dismissed.

Let the emperor become a polished commander.

This is also the main reason why all emperors are afraid of the Confucian sect of the extremely aristocratic family.

And obviously Zhu YuanWant to break this system, or break the curse on the emperor.

He does not use these Confucian officials from aristocratic families.

Plan to directly cultivate talents by ourselves

"Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that ordinary people naturally did not have money to buy books or enter private schools.……"

"After all, whether it is books or private schools, the cost is extremely high, and even some small nobles cannot afford it.……"

"So Zhu Yuanzhang started running the school directly: tuition is free, food and accommodation are provided, no corvee is required, and rice and money are also given, as long as you study hard……"

"Regardless of origin, anyone can study, and it is almost the same as the current compulsory education system.……"

After hearing what Sun Hang said, the entire Dragon Kingdom was in an uproar.

When I heard what Sun Hang said about free tuition, free food and accommodation, no corvee, and even money for you.

Suddenly everyone was dumbfounded.
