Chapter 212 The Causes of the "North-South List" Case: Let's Start with the Wars in t

Li Ranran, who had been busy all morning, finally opened the 13-station video after browsing Weibo and Xiaohongshu.

Li Ranran turned to the daily hot topics and checked the videos that interested her.

A very familiar topic that one has wanted to know about countless times but has not been able to fully understand due to his inability to understand it, attracted Li Ranran's attention.

[In-depth analysis of the causes and consequences of the "Ming Dynasty North and South List" case]

[Hello everyone, I am your up master, the cute Longwu Emperor Zhu Yuyu. Earlier, we talked about the four major cases of the Hongwu Dynasty. Many friends in the comment area left messages asking us to talk about the last case of the Hongwu Dynasty, which is the South and North List case with far-reaching influence!

Okay, let’s do as you wish and talk about the North and South List Case.

Let me first give some basic knowledge to friends who don’t know about this. The North-South List Case is also known as the Spring-Summer List Case, the Liu Sanwu Fraud Case, the North-South List Dispute, and the North-South List Incident.

To understand the whole story of something, you must know its background.

＜The North-South List case, although not like the previous cases, where tens of thousands of people were killed, its influence was really far-reaching. If Zhu Yuanzhang had not handled it properly at the time, it would have easily caused new turmoil in the newly unified country [covering his face]＞

＜It’s not easy for a blogger to tell all the important events in Zhu Yuanzhang’s life hahaha＞

＜Only the first two emperors of the Ming Dynasty can be talked about, forget about the rest＞

＜Agree, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di = Ming Dynasty wise rulers (don’t talk about Renzong and Xuanzong’s rule, Zhu Zhanji abandoned his grandfather to conquer Jiaozhi)＞

＜The impact is that we don’t use the unified examination papers for the college entrance examination＞

[Ming Chengzu Zhu Di: He is my good and holy grandson! He is really a son who sells his father's land without any regret!]

[Ming Yongle 13th year Zhu Zhanji: Grandfather, your grandson must have had his own difficulties at that time…]

[Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian: Jiaozhi is Vietnam on the maps of later generations, right? When did it become independent?]

[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Annan has always been on our territory since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established counties after conquering Nanyue. Our Tang Dynasty has Annan.]

[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: Hmm...Song...should...there be one?]

[Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: The Song Dynasty faced too many foreign enemies, with the Liao Kingdom in front and the Western Xia in the back. As for Jiaozhou, we really don’t have the energy to do that…]

...

Ming Dynasty Hongwu 29th year

"The four major cases of Hongwu?" An official who had forgotten what was said in front of the screen asked in a low voice.

If he counted, there would only be three.

"The Lan Yu case." The official next to him reminded him in a low voice.

"hiss."

A gasp was heard. What? There is also the Lan Yu case! How many people will die from this... Stay away from him in the future and don't get implicated.

Prince of Qin Zhu Chong looked at Zhu Di and then at Zhu Yunwen with amusement, his eyes seemed to say: The man called 'good holy grandson' is not reliable.

Zhu Yunwen was both angry and annoyed, and could only turn his head away and snort coldly.

Zhu Di didn't even look at Zhu Chong.

Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang began to analyze the case of the North-South List literally. The two words "North" and "South" have already pointed out the theme, and Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had grasped the deep meaning.

"Humph, what are you guys doing again!"

Hearing the angry voice of the still majestic emperor, everyone looked down at the ground.

The imperial examination is usually held in February, also known as the spring list. However, now there is also a summer list, so perhaps another exam is held in June or July.

But why are the exams held twice in one year?

And the Liu Sanwu fraud case mentioned later...

Liu Sanwu hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty to the emperor who was secretly angry, saying: "Your Majesty is wise, I am confident that I would never interfere in the examination, there must be something hidden..."

Zhu Yuanzhang valued Liu Sanwu and trusted him. Besides, Guangmu only mentioned it briefly and didn't finish it, so he wasn't so stingy as to punish him for it.

Let Liu Sanwu get up quickly and stand aside.

...

Let's talk about the background of this era. Why did the "North-South Case" happen? In fact, this case can be seen as an inevitable result of the development of the times, because it has a long historical background and is not a result of a day or a night.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the north has been caught in endless wars, while the south is relatively stable, so the economic center has gradually shifted southward.

By the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the economy, culture and development in the north and south had undergone great changes.

1: The Yellow River Basin is the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization. It originates from the Bayan Har Mountains in Qinghai, flows through nine provinces and regions including Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea, irrigating the vast Guanzhong Plain and the North China Plain.

But, let's emphasize this: all the major wars that have taken place since the Tang and Song dynasties also took place in the Yellow River Basin, that is, in the north.

The An Lushan Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty lasted for eight years. In the 14th year of Emperor Xuanzong's Tianbao reign, An Lushan led a 150,000-man army from Pinglu, Fanyang, Hedong and other towns to rebel. According to the "Zizhi Tongjian", the rebels burned, killed and looted wherever they went. "Every time the rebels broke into a city, they looted the clothes, bribes and women in the city. The strong men were used as burdens, and the weak, sick, old and young were killed with swords and spears." 】

＜Examination point, economic center shifts south＞

＜In that case, is that the North? Because of the soil erosion caused by excessive deforestation, coupled with the Yellow River bursting several times, the development of the North was lower than that of the South at that time＞

＜It took An Lushan less than a month to march from Fanyang to Luoyang, and officers and soldiers basically surrendered without a fight or abandoned the city and fled＞

＜The Guanzhong Plain was really rich in the past. The Qin Dynasty used it to sweep across the six kingdoms. The Qin, Western Han, Sui, Tang and other ten dynasties all established their capitals in Guanzhong. After that, the Guanzhong Plain…＞

＜Guanzhong was no longer in good condition during the Sui and Tang dynasties. In the 14th year of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, there was a famine in Guanzhong and the capital was temporarily moved to Luoyang. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, also went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, for food seven times. After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, she simply moved the capital to Luoyang.

After Emperor Zhongzong of Tang regained the throne, he moved back to Chang'an. As a result, a great famine broke out in Guanzhong. The ministers requested the emperor to go to the Eastern Capital, but he got furious and said, "How can an emperor chase after food?" During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, there were five times when he went to Luoyang for food. After the An-Shi Rebellion, the emperors who followed the Tang Dynasty could no longer go to Luoyang to beg for food. The Tang Dynasty starved to death [dog head]＞

[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: How can a great country be starved to death?! The emperor can't even go to places other than Chang'an?!]

[Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao: Isn’t the place that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty likes to go to the most Sichuan? [Laughing and crying]]

[Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: Will Guanzhong be so short of food in the future?]

[Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han: The Chang'an area was plagued by wars, the population dropped sharply, and the palaces were burned down. It was difficult.]

[Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian: There are still four years before a great famine in Guanzhong! We must prepare for it in advance.]

...

Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan

"Do you have any countermeasures?" Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sat at the top with a domineering look, asking everyone what they thought about the food shortage in Guanzhong mentioned by the light curtain.

Ma Zhou said: "The population has increased dramatically, and a lot of food is needed. If famine occurs again, it will be difficult to transport food from Guandong. It is better to open it up than to blindly transfer food from outside. It is better to develop local food."

After hearing this, Wei Zheng frowned and asked, "Guanzhong is indeed a fertile land of thousands of miles, but didn't the previous dynasties develop agriculture?"

Du Ruhui couldn't think of a better solution.

"Well... the light curtain mentioned before that we should plant more trees and not over-exploit? Does that mean we need to use them and maintain them?" Fang Xuanling asked tentatively.

What Li Shimin was more worried about was famine. He was afraid that there would be more famine in Guanzhong!

...

[Not only did the rebels loot everywhere, but the Tang army also looted fiercely. Our great poet Du Fu described it in "Shihao Li": "I heard the woman speak before me, and three men were stationed in Yecheng. One man sent a letter, and two men died in battle recently."

During the An-Shi Rebellion, in the Battle of Yecheng, the Tang army of 60 soldiers was defeated by 5 rebels. The Zizhi Tongjian records that "the soldiers plundered wherever they went, and the officials could not stop them."

In order to suppress the An-Shi Rebellion, Emperor Suzong of Tang invited the Huihe soldiers and promised that "on the day when the city is conquered, the land and common people will return to the Tang Dynasty, and all the gold, silk and women will return to the Huihe."

According to the "Zizhi Tongjian", after the Tang army and the Uighur army captured Chang'an, the Uighurs wanted to plunder Chang'an as agreed. However, the Crown Prince Li Yu who was present said that if they robbed the people of Chang'an first, the people of Luoyang would defend to the death, so it would be better to change the plan of looting Chang'an to Luoyang.

Therefore, "the Huihe entered Dongjing and killed and looted wantonly, killing tens of thousands of people and burning for ten days. The Shuofang and Shen Ce armies also regarded Dongjing, Zheng, Bian, and Ruzhou as bandit territories, and looted wherever they went for three months. All the houses were destroyed, and the people were all clothed in paper clothes."

What a joke from hell, for a moment I couldn't tell which side was the rebel. 】

＜Although, I clicked in to read about the Ming Dynasty, not to listen to the An-Shi Rebellion. Is this definitely on topic?＞

＜No, you don’t even read the title? The title says it’s a deep story, so the logic must be made clear [eating melon]＞

＜When you think the rebels are already inhuman, you will find that the Tang army is not very human either＞

＜People in the north are so miserable, everyone wants to grab it＞

＜Chang'an people: escaped a disaster

Luoyang people: Good, good, good, you Tang royal family are really noble, really amazing [thumbs up] >

＜It would have been nice if the Tang Dynasty had been buried during the An-Shi Rebellion＞

[Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: The emperor allowed the Hu people to plunder his own people. Can this emperor be the emperor?]

[Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: Emperor Suzong of Tang is too spineless, and the crown prince is also a coward!]

[Huo Qubing in the fifth year of Yuanshou in the Han Dynasty: Just watching the Han people being oppressed and robbed by the Hu people? ? ? Disgusting.]

[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Humph, the Hu people dare to come and plunder our Han land!]
