The Hongwu Emperor (21 October 1328 – 24 June 1398),[b] also known by his temple name as the Emperor Taizu of Ming (Template:Zhi), personal name Zhu Yuanzhang (Template:Zhi), courtesy name Guorui (Template:Zhi), was the founding emperor of the Ming dynasty, reigning from 1368 to 1398.[8]
In the mid-14th century, China was plagued by epidemics, famines, and peasant uprisings during the rule of the Mongol Yuan dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, who lost his parents during this tumultuous time, was forced to survive by begging as an itinerant monk. This difficult upbringing had a profound impact on the future emperor's life. He developed a deep understanding of the struggles faced by ordinary people, while harboring disdain for scholars who only gained knowledge from books.[9]
In 1352, he joined one of the rebel divisions. He quickly distinguished himself among the rebels and rose to lead his own army. In 1356, he conquered Nanjing and established it as his capital. He formed his own government, consisting of both generals and Confucian scholars, rejecting Mongol rule over China. He adopted the concept of country administration from them and implemented it in the territory he controlled, eventually expanding it to the entire country. He gradually defeated rival rebel leaders, with the decisive moment being his victory over Chen Youliang in the Battle of Lake Poyang in 1363. In 1364, he declared himself King of Wu.[note 2] However, he still acknowledged his formal subordination to the main Red Turban leader, Han Lin'er, who claimed to be the successor of the Song dynasty.
In early 1368, after successfully dominating southern and central China, he chose to rename his state. He decided on the name Da Ming, which translates to 'Great Radiance,' for his empire. Additionally, he designated "Hongwu", meaning 'Vastly Martial,' as the name of the era and the motto of his reign. In the following four-year war, he drove out the Mongol armies loyal to the Yuan dynasty and unified the country. However, his attempt to conquer Mongolia ended in failure.
During the thirty-year reign of the Hongwu Emperor, Ming China experienced significant growth and recovered from the effects of prolonged wars. The emperor had a strong understanding of the structure of society and believed in implementing reforms to improve institutions. This approach differed from the Confucian belief that the ruler's moral example was the most important factor.[10] The Hongwu Emperor also prioritized the safety of his people and the loyalty of his subordinates, demonstrating pragmatism and caution in military affairs. He maintained a disciplined army and made efforts to minimize the impact of war on civilians.[11]
Although the peak of his political system crumbled in a civil war shortly after his death, other results of the Hongwu Reforms, such as local and regional institutions for Ming state administration and self-government, as well as the financial and examination systems, proved to be resilient.[10] The census, land registration and tax system, and the Weisuo military system all endured until the end of the dynasty.[10] His descendants continued to rule over all of China until 1644, and the southern region for an additional seventeen years.
Youth
編輯Zhu Yuanzhang was born in 1328 in Zhongli (Template:Zhi) village, located in Haozhou (present-day Fengyang, Anhui). He was the youngest of four sons in a poor peasant family.[12][13] He was given the name Zhu Chongba (Template:Zhi) at birth,[6] but later used the name Zhu Xingzong (Template:Zhi) in adulthood.[7] After joining the rebels, he went by the name Zhu Yuanzhang. His father, Zhu Wusi, lived in Nanjing but fled to the countryside to avoid tax collectors. His paternal grandfather was a gold miner, and his maternal grandfather was a fortune-teller and seer. In 1344, during a plague epidemic, Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and two brothers died. He managed to survive by entering a local Buddhist monastery, which was later closed due to a lack of funds.[14]
For the next three years, Zhu wandered as a mendicant monk, becoming familiar with the landscape and people of eastern Henan and northern Anhui.[15] He then returned to the monastery in 1348 and stayed for four years, during which he learned to read, write, and study the basics of Buddhism.[16] In 1352, when the Mongol army burned down the monks' dwellings during the Red Turban Rebellion, Zhu joined one of the rebel divisions.[17]
As rebel
編輯The harsh taxation policies, famine, and catastrophic flooding in the Yellow River basin, caused by inadequate flood control measures, led to widespread opposition to the rule of the Mongol Yuan dynasty.[18] This discontent was further fueled by the presence of Taoist and Buddhist secret societies and sects, with the most prominent being the White Lotus society.[19] In 1351, a rebellion known as the Red Turban Rebellion erupted and quickly spread throughout northern China.[18]
Despite the initial disorganization of the Mongol troops, they were able to launch a counteroffensive and advance along the Grand Canal.[14] In October 1352, the Mongols captured Xuzhou, causing the rebel commanders Peng Da and Zhao Yunyong to flee south to Haozhou.[14]
In Haozhou, the Yuan dynasty's power fell in the spring of 1352. Guo Zixing, Sun Deyai, and three other leaders, with the support of the local elite, organized the army and took control in order to establish order in the city and its surrounding areas.[14] The arrival of Peng and Zhao was seen as a clear connection to the rebels in the eyes of the Yuan dynasty. Guo submitted to Peng, while his four colleagues submitted to Zhao.[14]
On 15 April 1352, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in the city.[14] Despite starting as a rank-and-file fighter, his exceptional leadership, decisiveness, warrior skills, and intelligence quickly gained him significant authority.[15] Not only was Zhu known for his intelligence, but also for his unattractive appearance.[1] He swiftly recruited 24 companions, who would eventually become generals in the Ming army, from his acquaintances who had already joined the rebels, and became their leader.[16] Thanks to his abilities, he rose to prominence quickly, leading a 700-man squad by the spring of 1353 and becoming Guo's most trusted subordinate.[14] Skilled in both military tactics and political maneuvering, he even married Guo's adopted daughter, surnamed Ma. A strong relationship developed between Lady Ma and Zhu, which would later give her great influence at court as empress.[17] Unlike other leaders of his time, Zhu had a small number of relatives who were appointed to important positions. In the unstable political climate, family ties were crucial for ensuring loyalty and reliability.[14]
The rivalry between Peng and Zhao escalated into a full-blown conflict. Guo was initially captured, but was later freed by his sons and Zhu, which only increased his reliance on Zhu.[18] After Peng's death in 1353, Zhao emerged as the dominant leader in the region, leaving Guo and Zhu isolated.[19] Zhao sent Guo to the east and Zhu with a small detachment to the south, hoping to divide them and be able to destroy them. However, contrary to Zhao's expectations, Zhu successfully occupied several counties and bolstered his army to twenty thousand soldiers. Guo moved with Zhao's ten thousand men to join him.[19]

Notes
編輯- ^ Zhu Yuanzhang had already been in control of Nanjing since 1356, and was conferred the title of "Duke of Wu" (吳國公) by the rebel leader Han Lin'er (韓林兒) in 1361. He started autonomous rule as the self-proclaimed "Prince of Wu" on 4 February 1364. He was proclaimed emperor on 23 January 1368 and established the Ming dynasty on that same day.
- ^ 2.0 2.1 21 October 1328 is the Julian calendar equivalent of the 18th day of the 9th month of the Tianli (Template:Zhi) regnal period of the Yuan dynasty. When calculated using the Proleptic Gregorian calendar, the date is 29 October.[5][6]:11[7]
- ^ Upon his successful usurpation in 1402, the Yongle Emperor voided the era of the Jianwen Emperor and continued the Hongwu era until the beginning of Chinese New Year in 1403, when the new Yongle era came into effect. This dating continued for a few of his successors until the Jianwen era was reestablished in the late 16th century.
