What has Judy achieved?

Judy is Ming Taizu's fourth son. Born in 1360, he was named the prince at the age of 1 1. At the age of 43, he became the emperor, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. 1424 died at the age of 65. 22 years in power. He is an emperor who pays attention to making contributions.

Ming Chengzu's throne was taken away. Ming Taizu has 26 sons, Zhu Biao, the eldest son, was named Prince, and Judy, the fourth son, was named Prince. Judy was sealed in Peiping, the capital of Jin and Yuan Dynasties. At that time it was one of the political centers of the country. There are heavy troops of Mongolian nobles in the north, so we should not treat them lightly. Ming Taizu gave this important town in the north to Judy, who was only 1 1 years old, indicating his expectation for the future. At the age of 20, he was sent to Beiping, a vassal state. When he was 39, Ming Taizu died, and the emperor's grandson acceded to the throne for him. Emperor Wen Jian was afraid of many vassals of his uncle's generation. He took measures to cut down the vassals. At this time, Judy's three brothers died one after another, and he became the eldest son. For this nephew emperor, he had a disloyal heart. Now if he wants to cut the vassal, the knife will cut his neck, so he will rise up and rebel. After three years of hard work, I finally got the throne. Year number Yongle. Cheng Zu of the Ming Dynasty, also known as Emperor Yongle.

Advocating the compilation of Yongle Dadian is one of the historical achievements of Ming Chengzu. When he ascended the throne in the first year of Yongle, he ordered the compilation of a big book. He said: "Since you have your own book, you should compile a comprehensive large-scale series, including a subset of classics and a hundred books. The more books you collect, the better, not afraid of scales. " The blueprint in his mind is to compile a large-scale book with the largest number, the most complete variety and the best quality in history.

Participating in the compilation are all kinds of first-class talents from all over the country. Yao, the academic master, is the president, including famous Confucianists, celebrities, famous doctors and eminent monks. A total of 2 169 people participated in the compilation. The logistics are well arranged. The Ministry of Ritual is responsible for selecting and deploying personnel nationwide and collecting the required books nationwide. Guanglu Temple is responsible for the accommodation of editors. In the process of compilation, Ming Chengzu often inspected and urged. Find problems and solve them in time. Once, he found that there were not enough books in the palace. He said: "Everyone who has a little property in the world wants to buy more books. How can the imperial court lack books? " So he ordered the department of rites to send people who are familiar with the classics to search for books all over the country. No matter how expensive the book is, buy it. This large-scale book purchase has played a key role in completing the compilation of Yongle Dadian with high quality.

After four years of hard work, the editing project was finally completed in 1407. Book * * * 22877 volumes, accounting for 1 1095 volumes. It has collected more than 8,000 books from the pre-Qin period to the early Ming Dynasty. Everything, classics, history, philosophers, collections, schools of thought, astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medicine, divination, drama, novels, skills and so on. Ming Chengzu named it Yongle Grand Ceremony. This is the first encyclopedia in the history of China.

An important move of Ming Chengzu was to move the capital to Beijing. At the beginning of his reign, Jinling (Nanjing) was established. With the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty retreating to Mobei, Jinling on the bank of the Yangtze River seems to be too far away from the important northern border. Therefore, in 1403, the minister of rites suggested that Beiping be changed to Beijing and the capital moved to Beijing. Ming Chengzu thought that the emperor lived in the north because he attached importance to the royal light and he could strengthen the border defense in the north, so he adopted this suggestion. However, he knows that moving the capital is a top priority related to the rise and fall of the country and must be handled with caution.

He first cleared the name of Beiping, aiming at improving Beijing's political status. He was ordered to change Beiping to Beijing and be promoted to the capital, called Hangzai. At the same time, the Beiping government changed to Shuntianfu.

He did everything possible to improve Beijing's economic status. He knew that although Beijing was the capital of Yuan Dynasty, its geographical position was extremely important, but its economy was far inferior to that of Jiangnan and Jinling. Therefore, he first tried to make Beijing prosperous. So he ordered a large-scale resettlement near Beijing and reduced taxes within five years. Some non-commissioned officers were also released to Beijing for farming. A large number of refugees formed after the war. He ordered the refugees to be organized and go to Beijing to farm. Even, he ordered the release of prisoners and placed them in the surrounding areas of Beijing for farming. He also implemented some preferential policies, such as providing them with tools and seeds for driving cattle for free. At the same time, a large number of craftsmen moved to Beijing, giving these families more preferential policies. For example, ordering duty-free food and giving generous relief. In this way, the king was established in Beijing. Thanks to these years of hard work, Beijing has gradually developed and prospered. Therefore, Beijing initially has the scale of a metropolis, comparable to Jinling.

In A.D. 1406, Ming Chengzu ordered the official construction of the Beijing Palace in June next year. Minister Extraordinary went to relevant provinces to collect giant trees. Minister Chen Si was also appointed to be responsible for the design and construction of the entire Beijing Palace and Beijing City. Since then, the officially started construction projects have been going on without interruption. 1420, the palace in Beijing was finally built. Ming Chengzu ordered to move the capital to Beijing. After 18 years of twists and turns, Ming finally gave up his long-cherished wish and completed the grand cause of moving the capital. Since then, Beijing has become the capital of Ming and Qing dynasties, which has continued to this day. Beijing was designated as the capital of China, which was a historic contribution of the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

Ming Chengzu sent Zheng He to the Western Seas, which was also a great feat in the history of China.

Zheng He was originally an eunuch of Yan. Later, Judy, the prince of Yan, moved to the north and made outstanding achievements, which was appreciated by the prince. Judy acceded to the throne and made him Zheng. Because it is also called Sambo, it is called Sambo eunuch. He was a special minister, who was valued by Ming Chengzu all his life.

Cheng Zu of the Ming Dynasty was very talented. He wanted to declare the power of the Ming Dynasty overseas and let overseas western countries pay tribute to China. At the same time, it also carries out economic and cultural exchanges. He chose Zheng He for this important position. After full preparation, Zheng He led a huge fleet to the Western Ocean for the first time in 1405. The fleet is large in scale, complete in variety and complete in crew. According to the data, there are 208 ships, including 62 large ships and 46 small ships/kloc-0. There are warships and supply ships. The crew came from all walks of life, including officers and soldiers, sailors, translators, businessmen, doctors, teachers and craftsmen, with a total of 27,800 people. They brought everything, including food, medicine, fresh water, salt sauce, tea oil, candle wood and so on. There are dozens of commodities, including silk, satin, porcelain, mercury, musk, rice grains, umbrellas, straw mats, ironware and bronzes. At the same time, I also brought many rare treasures. The voyage was full of difficulties and obstacles, but they successfully completed the task. The fleet reached the Indian peninsula as far as possible. Every time Zheng He went to a country, he announced that Ming Chengzu had written to him and rewarded him with gold coins. 1407, after more than two years of sailing, Zheng He and his party returned to the motherland smoothly.

During the 28 years from 1405 to 1433, Zheng He, the eunuch of Sambo, made seven voyages to the Western Ocean. Among them, six times were under the command of Ming Chengzu. During Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean, he strengthened ties with more than 30 countries, conducted various exchanges and strengthened bilateral relations with these countries. This large-scale overseas trade is a feat in the maritime history of China and even the world, and its historical significance is very far-reaching.

Ming Chengzu, 65, died suddenly on his way back to his teacher's office. Buried in Changling of Tianshou Mountain, Changping County, Beijing. This mausoleum was built when he was 54 years old. Since then, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have been buried here, forming the Ming 13 Mausoleum.
