"the hongwu emperor"

A Seated Portrait of Ming Emperor Taizu.jpg

.

(’21 october 1328′ – ’24 june 1398′), personal name Zhu Yuanzhang 

(formerly ‘romanized’ as Chu Yuan-Chang),

.

*the hongwu emperor was the [‘founder’ / ‘first emperor’] of china’s ‘ming dynasty’*

.

(in the middle of the 14th century, with famine, plagues, and peasant revolts sweeping across China, Zhu Yuanzhang rose to command the force that conquered China and ended the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty, forcing the Mongols to retreat to the Central Asian steppes)

(Zhu claimed the Mandate of Heaven and established the Ming dynasty at the beginning of 1368, later in the same year his army occupied the Yuan capital, Khanbaliq (present-day Beijing))

(trusting only in his family, he made his many sons powerful feudal princes along the northern marches and the Yangtze valley)

(having outlived his first successor, the Hongwu Emperor enthroned his grandson via a series of instructions; this ended in failure, when the Jianwen Emperor’s attempt to unseat his uncles led to the ‘Ming Yongle Emperor’ (r. 1402–1424))

.

(most of the ‘historical sites’ related to the ‘hongwu emperor’ are located in ‘nanjing’, the original capital of the ‘ming dynasty’)
