Chapter 446 How Can I Bear to Leave
In the 17th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court appointed Ma Ye as the commander of Guizhou and ordered him to implement the policy of converting native chieftains into officials in Guizhou. That is, the chieftain system in the southwestern minority areas was abolished and replaced by direct rule by officials appointed by the central government, implementing the same county system as in the interior.
Ma Ye regarded She Xiang as a "Guifang barbarian woman" and was dissatisfied with her acting as the envoy to Guizhou. He also imposed heavy taxes during the process of transforming the chieftains into officials, regardless of the casualties among the people. He forced the chieftains to open post stations and pay taxes.
She Xiang wrote a statement, but was captured by Ma Ye and taken to Guiyang, where he stripped her of her shirt and whipped her back in an attempt to provoke the Yi soldiers.
The forty-eight tribe leaders, who could no longer tolerate Ma Ye, learned that She Xiang had been humiliated and vowed to avenge him.
The war in Guizhou was about to break out. She Xiang exposed Ma Ye's intention to force a rebellion and finally persuaded the chieftains of various tribes to avoid a disaster that would have affected the entire Guizhou. 】
＜Ma Ye's matter needs to be viewed from a different perspective [eating melon]＞
＜Reforming the natives was a huge project and it was very offensive.＞
＜Shexiang is really patient.＞
＜Ma Ye just wants to force them to rebel, so that the court can directly send troops to kill them, which will make the transformation of the natives into commoners faster.＞
＜The main thing is that she can see clearly that if Ma Ye is allowed to stay in Guizhou, many of his people will be killed or injured, but if he rebels as he wishes, even more people will die. Madam Shexiang has a clear view of the overall situation.＞
[Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: This is a good idea.]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: @Ming Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang good tactics.]
[Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian: Lady Shexiang, like Lady Xian, is a man of great righteousness who knows how to judge the situation.]
……
Liu Che is studying frame by frame.
I have always been interested in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but unfortunately the video basically skipped it or briefly mentioned it. This video actually contains a lot of relevant knowledge.
……
In the 24th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, She Xiang asked Liu Shuzhen, the wife of Song Qin, the deputy envoy of Guizhou, to introduce her to the capital to appeal. She Xiang met Zhu Yuanzhang and reported Ma Ye's perverse actions in Guizhou, and asked the emperor to punish him.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "How will you repay me?"
She Xiang replied: "I hope that my descendants will never dare to cause trouble" and "I am willing to survey the mountains, dig through the dangerous areas and build post roads."
Zhu Yuanzhang named She Xiang "Lady Shunde" and recalled Ma Ye to the capital to be punished. After returning to Guizhou, She Xiang informed the chieftains of the result. Everyone was grateful for the court's kindness, and the people of Guizhou were at peace from then on.
She Xiang fulfilled his promise and personally led the troops to open mountains and hills, build post roads, and single-handedly opened up the passage between Guizhou and Sichuan, Yunnan, and Hunan. This effectively promoted the local economic development and stabilized the Ming Dynasty's rule over the southwestern border.
She Xiang hired a large number of Han Confucian scholars, established Xuanweisi School, and educated children of all ethnic groups. He improved the Yi writing system, making it simpler and easier to spread and use, effectively preserving and passing on the national history of the Yi people.
She even sent her only son, Aqilongdi, to study at the Imperial College in Beijing. After Aqilongdi finished his studies, Zhu Yuanzhang granted him the third-rank court dress and personally gave him the surname An, with the Chinese name An De.
In the 38th year of Hongwu, the Yi ethnic minority heroine, Madam Shexiang, died of illness at the age of .
＜Ah!? Only 38… so young [crying]＞
＜If Madam Shexiang had not built the post road, Wang Yangming would not have come to Longchang to attain enlightenment [eating melon]＞
＜Zhu Yuanzhang only cares about the result, not the process. In fact, it is a game between Ma Ye and She Xiang to see who is more capable. For Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no loss.＞
＜Spread Confucianism? That’s not necessary. Didn’t the Han people drive Lady Shexiang out of office when they saw her interfering in government? Lady Xian in the Sui Dynasty was the leader of the Li people. After the Han people were assimilated, the Li people no longer existed.＞
＜After Lady Shexiang, many female chieftains emerged in the Ming Dynasty. The most famous among them was Qin Liangyu. You should know that the chieftain system established in the Ming Dynasty allowed all wives, concubines, daughters, or others to inherit the position.＞
＜“Building roads” has always been a good deed! ＞
＜Guizhou has many mountains. If the post roads are not built, it will be difficult for the army to enter and the court will also find it difficult to control these places.＞
＜The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were all about developing and migrating to the southwest region. The local ethnic minorities wanted to assimilate to the Han culture, and the trend of ethnic integration was unstoppable.＞
＜I declare Zhu Yuanzhang to be a master of naming [covering face] his son Judy, and his minister Andy [covering face]＞
＜Wow, they even gave it an English name, hahaha.＞
＜“But the heavens are calling you~” I suddenly understood the meaning of this line [crying]＞
[Ming Hongwu 29th year Zhu Yuanzhang: Hmm? ! ! !]
[Wang Shouren, the third year of Ming Zhengde: It must have been difficult to open mountains and dig through dangerous terrain in the early years. Today, we can go from the capital to Guizhou and Longchang, thanks to Madam Shexiang. This place is mountainous and complex, and it is not easy to build a post road. The Confucian atmosphere here is also gradually becoming stronger, and it has been completed very well.]
[Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: Sinicization is a must.]
[Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Youjian: General Qin Liangyu is a heroic woman, mighty and extraordinary.]
[Song Shenzong Zhao Xu: It took three generations of relays to complete the development of the southwest region, which was not easy.]
[Ming Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: ...I say again not Judy.]
[Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo Hongli: Is Judy not good? Are you unhappy with having a foreign name?]
……
Some people don't understand the funny point of Judy and Andy mentioned by Guangmu.
I do understand why the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not like people calling him by foreign names. It must be because as an emperor, how could he use a foreign name?
Zhu Di himself was speechless. The name Judy was so awkward! His brothers loved to use it to make fun of him.
Forget it, since I am already the prince, I should show my magnanimity and be more tolerant to them temporarily.
……
Ming Dynasty Hongwu 29th year
Isn’t it the 29th year of Hongwu now?
Zhu Yuanzhang directly asked doctors from nearby Guizhou to treat Madam Shexiang on the screen, and even sent an imperial physician.
Shexiang currently feels no physical discomfort.
"Is it still in the ambush period?"
Walk out of the courtyard and look up at the blue sky. Under the sunlight, the mountains, rivers and waters are even more dazzling.
She Xiang came to the crowd who were building the post road ahead. When the people around saw She Xiang coming, they hurried to greet her.
Everyone was thinking about Guangmu's last words, and tears welled up in their eyes.
"Zhu Mu..."
"Agu Po Ma..."
"Amoses..."
Countless tribesmen offered their sincere blessings to their Zhumu.
May Shexiang have good luck and be safe.
She Xiang sighed, "How can I bear to leave this land?"
