Sixteen emperors in the Ming Dynasty, but only the Ming Tombs-absurd history, but interesting.

As we all know, there were sixteen emperors in the Ming Dynasty.

But we also know that there are thirteen Ming Tombs in Beijing, named "Ming Tombs".

Here comes the question:

There were sixteen emperors in the Ming Dynasty, but why only thirteen tombs?

The answer is this:

Although there were sixteen emperors in the Ming Dynasty, there were only thirteen Ming Tombs in Beijing because there were no three emperors buried in the Ming Tombs (16-3= 13).

So it is called the Ming Tombs.

therefore ...

Which three emperors were not buried in the Ming Tombs?

Why not be buried in the Ming Tombs?

Where are they buried?

We can simply and directly explain:

1, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, where the tomb is located: Nanjing Xiaoling Mausoleum, why not be buried in the Ming Tombs: Because Taizu has been working in Nanjing.

2. Ming Huizong lived in Zhu Yunwen. Where is the tomb? Why not bury him in the Ming Tombs? Missing, unaccounted for.

3. Ming Daizong Zhu Qiyu, where the mausoleum is located: Jingtai Mausoleum in Haidian, Beijing, why not be buried in the Ming Tombs: Ming Yingzong does not recognize him as the emperor.

Let's explain one by one:

Zhu Mao doesn't have to explain to Yuan Zhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, an old man, worked in Nanjing all his life. It is normal to be buried in Nanjing after his death.

The second one is very interesting: Minghui lives in Zhu Yunwen.

As an emperor, how could Zhu Yunwen be "unaccounted for"?

The thing is simple:

Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne at the age of 2 1, young and promising, and radical in governing the country. He offended his relatives by abolishing their titles and fiefs. As a result, he was defeated by his uncle Judy.

After his uncle Judy captured Nanking, he tried desperately to find his nephew Zhu Yunwen, but he was still alive, but he couldn't find Zhu Yunwen.

Moreover, it has never been found.

Zhu Yunwen is missing.

In fact, Zhu Yunwen certainly wants to run.

I can run too.

This is a war, not a joke. If Judy catches him, he will be beheaded.

Where did Zhu Yunwen go?

Nobody knows.

This is one of the greatest mysteries in the history of China.

The most reasonable reasoning is:

Zhu Yunwen should hide in a place where no one can find him and spend the rest of his life in anonymity.

This place may be a remote mountain village within the territory of the Ming Empire. After all, transportation and communication were underdeveloped in those days. Zhu Yunwen begged and walked as far as possible.

Even, it may not be in China, it may be in Vietnam, the western regions, the northeast, and even follow fishing boats and merchant ships to Japan and the Philippines.

Moreover, in order to survive, Zhu Yunwen will never tell anyone his true identity until his death.

This is a reasonable explanation.

Speaking of which, let's put in a digression:

We should learn a lesson from Zhu Yunwen's history. No matter whether it is a management company or a management unit, we should be cautious when dealing with people and things at ordinary times, being kind to others and touching the interests of others. We should not be too radical or take too big a step, which is easy to pull eggs.

Everyone said, is that right?

Let's talk about Ming Daizong and Zhu Qiyu.

Why wasn't Zhu Qiyu buried in the Ming Tombs?

It's also very interesting.

Here's the thing:

The last emperor of Ming Daizong was Ming Yingzong, and Ming Yingzong was a very courageous emperor. He likes to take his troops to the front to fight in person. As a result, Ming Yingzong was captured by the Mongols in the Battle of Civil Fort.

A country cannot live without a king for a day.

After Ming Yingzong was captured by Mongols, his half-brother Zhu Qiyu came to power, so he was called "Ming Daizong".

However, it never occurred to me that the Mongols released Ming Yingzong.

After putting it back, Ming Daizong was afraid that Ming Yingzong would rob him of the throne, so he locked up Ming Yingzong.

You see, this brother will become so ruthless in the face of major interests.

Later, Ming Yingzong and its officials launched the restoration, and in turn, Ming Daizong was locked up.

Then, Ming Daizong died under house arrest.

So, Ming Yingzong resumed the throne and remained in power.

Ming Yingzong hated Ming Daizong all his life and refused to admit that he was the emperor.

So, after Ming Daizong's death, Ming Yingzong did not let him be buried in the Ming Tombs, but buried him in an ordinary mausoleum in Haidian District, Beijing-Jingtai Mausoleum.

You got it?

Friends who like reading history and watching historical movies are familiar with the word "an ocean".

Q:

At that time, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, why did we call the silver coins at that time "foreign" in China?

Here's the thing:

Before Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were no silver coins in China. At that time, we used copper coins, silver ingots and broken silver in China, and occasionally silver tickets with bank numbers. In short, there are no silver coins.

You are right, China originally had no silver coins.

Later, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Spanish minted silver coins, also called silver rings. In the trade with China, Spanish guests took out Spanish silver coins and paid them to China people.

The people of China accepted it.

After reading these, you may ask:

Spanish silver coins are the currency used by the Spanish. How can we in China accept it?

What's the use of taking it

The earliest "foreign" was the early Spanish silver coin, which was called "Benyang". At that time, the education level of China people was very low. They think that the head on the silver coin is "Buddha", so this Spanish silver coin is also called "Buddha Ocean"

The answer is actually simple:

Because Spanish silver coins are made of real silver.

And the purity is quite high, and the highest purity can reach about 93%.

It is silver.

Spanish silver coins, it doesn't matter what shape they look like, and it doesn't matter which country's currency they are. It is important that:

It is silver.

As long as it is silver, I can accept it.

Because silver is hard currency.

I'm not afraid of money in my hand. Even if no one wants it, I will melt it and easily make it into silver ingots.

So since Spanish silver coins are made of real silver, our ancestors dare to accept them.

As a result, a large number of foreign silver coins poured into China.

At first, Spanish silver coins (Japan and Buddhism) were the most popular, and then Mexican silver coins (Eagle Ocean) poured in in large quantities.

These foreign silver coins are foreigners' money, so we called them Yinyang, Foreign Silver, Yang Qian, Yang Guang and Ocean Money in China at that time.

Among them, "Dayang Qian" shouted the most, shouting and shouting, omitting the word "Qian" and calling it "Dayang".

In other words, "Ocean" is the abbreviation of "Ocean Money".

This is the origin of the word "ocean".

And people in China have gradually discovered that these "oceans" are actually better than our own broken silver and silver ingots. Why?

Because it is very troublesome to weigh broken silver every time, it is also very troublesome to return to the furnace for forging after the silver ingot is cut.

But "Dayang" does not have these troubles. It's a round thing with various denominations, which is very convenient to exchange.

So in the end, everyone loves to use the ocean, but gradually everyone doesn't like to use broken silver and silver ingots.

So, how much is an ocean in old China worth?

The answer is:

When the Qing government collapsed and the Republic of China was founded, an ocean was probably equivalent to the purchasing power of RMB in 800 yuan today.

However, due to inflation, the purchasing power of RMB in 800 yuan has been declining.

From more than 800 yuan, fell to 400 yuan.

And it continues to fall.

Before liberation, the purchasing power of an ocean is only about 200 yuan RMB today.

Speaking of which, I answered many questions of history lovers by the way:

Why did foreigners' coins circulate in China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China?

The answer is:

Because it's all silver, who cares which country's currency it is?

Nobody cares.

Ask a question that makes people laugh and cry:

During the Korean War, were there any South Koreans in the US military?

The answer is: yes.

And quite a few.

Among them, Lv Chaoran is the most typical one.

More sadly:

This China Lv Chaoran is not only an American army, but also an officer of the American army.

In addition, Lv Chaoran was awarded a medal for his bravery in fighting our volunteers.

Lv Chaoran, a native of Guangdong, was born in the United States in 1960s+0920s, and Lv Chaoran was born in 1960s +0926.

When the Korean War broke out, Lv Chaoran joined the US Marine Corps 7th Regiment 1 Battalion Company B as a second lieutenant, and participated in actual combat at the front.

For example, in the battles such as the Incheon Landing War, Lv Chaoran took part and played a leading role.

Not only that, Lv Chaoran is still on the front line, confusing our volunteers with his expertise in speaking Chinese.

He often does such things.

For example:

1On the second night of October, Lv Chaoran's battalion was attacked by our volunteers.

Lv Chaoran and his comrades-in-arms immediately organized a counterattack. Among them, Lv Chaoran walked in the front of the troops under the cover of darkness and kept shouting to our volunteers in Chinese: "Don't fire, I am from China!"

The officers and men of our Volunteers were fighting when they suddenly heard someone calling themselves from China in front of the US military camp. Therefore, our officers and men were confused and hesitant, so they distracted and stopped shooting.

Why? Because, I'm afraid of killing my own people by mistake.

With a moment's hesitation, the American army acted quickly and our position was exposed.

Lv Chaoran and his American comrades decisively organized a counterattack and temporarily repelled our army.

Lv Chaoran was wounded in the battle.

Because of his outstanding performance in this campaign, Lv Chaoran was awarded the US Navy Cross.

However, before Lv Chaoran fully recovered from the injury, he returned to the battlefield with an injury.

1950 65438+On February 8th, Lv Chaoran was strafed by our army's machine guns during the battle with our volunteers, and was seriously injured.

Sent to Japan for treatment.

Speaking of which, by the way, during the Korean War, Japan was the rear area of the United States.

Now you understand why Americans didn't kill Japanese Emperor Hirohito.

Others Yankee, the abacus is well played: Japan is needed as the home front, and Hirohito can just help Americans stabilize the home front.

Lv Chaoran recovered from a Japanese gunshot wound and returned to the United States to recuperate.

From then on, Lv Chaoran withdrew from the Korean battlefield.

Later, Lv Chaoran did insurance business in new york.

When we read the story of China Lv Chaoran, we really felt sad.

It is worth mentioning that there are many Lv Chaoran on the Korean battlefield.

What was Lv Chaoran's self-identity at that time?

He thinks he is from China, but he was born and raised in the United States. He thinks he is an American.

So, he won't think he did anything wrong.

We are all descendants of the Chinese people. I really don't know how to evaluate.

Dear readers, if you were him, what would you choose at that time?

One more question:

Are those around us who have obtained American passports after going abroad from China Americans or Americans?

This may also be an interesting question.
