【Character’s Biography】

Born in humble beginnings—

Zhao Han was born in a rural Confucian family in Wuqing County, Bazhou, Hebei. His father was Zhao Shilang and his mother was Chen. Zhao Han is the second in his family. Although he is a Confucian, he has long since declined. In the first year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought, and his grandmother, father, mother, and brother died of starvation one after another. The eldest sister was sold to traffickers, and Zhao Han took his younger sister to beg for food in Tianjin.

Study Lead Mountain—

Fei Yinghuan, a son of the noble family in Qianshan, cherishes Zhao Han’s talent, learning and ambition, and takes him as a family boy. Together with Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun, Liu Ziren and Xu Ying, they studied under Pang Chunlai.

Pang Chunlai, a son of a military family in Liaodong, exiled in Jiangxi, instilled the idea of rebellion among the founding heroes.

Although Zhao Han is a family boy, he is still young, and his knowledge can be ranked first in Hanzhu Academy. The theory of Fa Ge’s position, the tongue battle among all the students, can’t be distinguished, and it is appreciated by Jiangxi Xuezheng. Xuezheng wanted to accept him as his personal disciple, but Zhao Han politely refused.

Fleeing Career—

Fei Yinghuan and his wife appreciated Zhao Han’s talent and learning, and planned to recruit him as a son-in-law, and changed his household registration to help him take the imperial examination. The teachers and students who were refuted by Hanzhu, and the elders of the Fei clan who looked down on Zhao Han, joined forces to remove Zhao Han’s school status, and colluded with officials to conspire to trap Zhao Han and put him in prison.

Zhao Han was alert and clever, broke in single-handedly, killed officials, set fire to the county government office, and was wanted. With superb personality charm, Pang Chunlai, Zhang Tieniu, and Chen Maosheng are all willing to follow him to death. Later, Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun voluntarily went to seek refuge.

Wu Xing raises troops—

At that time, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogue bandits spread across several provinces in the northwest. Later Jin conquered Mongolia and North Korea, entered the customs several times and plundered Hebei and Shandong. As a result, the north was corrupted, and the imperial court ordered the whole country to raise taxes and salaries in order to calm internal and external troubles, and the people in the southern provinces were struggling to live.

Zhao Han killed the bully landlord in Wuxing Town, distributed the land to the tenants and slaves, and won the hearts of the people. The governor of Jiangxi led a large army to encircle and suppress, and the local wealthy families recruited villagers to follow the army. Zhao Han led the army to directly capture the city of Ji’an. Capture Jiancheng with a strategy, recruit thousands of troops, defeat the official army who returned to aid, and defeat the brave Xiangyong of the wealthy family, and subdue Li Banghua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Then, the three counties of Luling, Jishui and Anfu were acquired.

Stand firm—

Chongzhen first appointed Jiangxi General Soldier, and then appointed the governors of the five southern provinces to encircle and suppress Zhao Han’s uprising army with soldiers from the five provinces. The rebel army defeated officers and soldiers several times, and became famous, and heroes from all walks of life defected. There are brothers Fang Shenghong and Fang Shengchang, who brought the territory of the three counties to join. There is Fei Yinggong, who brings hundreds of soldiers and horses to vote. There is Ding Jiasheng, who relied on the “Datong Collection” to revolt and divide the land, bringing soldiers and all the territory. There are also descendants of the Ming Dynasty’s clan, and the Ming Dynasty’s talented scholars, who successively joined Zhao Han’s command.

Zhao Han has excellent strategic vision and political talent, and he is not in a hurry to expand. Instead, he rectifies the military and political system and develops industry, agriculture and commerce. He was also falsely accepted by the imperial court and got the post of general soldier in Jiangxi. In four years, it occupied the whole territory of Jiangxi.

Pacify Jiangnan—

Zhao Han, who monopolized Jiangxi, did not immediately attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The first troops were divided into four groups to capture the whole territory of Guangdong and most of Hunan. Then recover Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu, and get all the wealth of Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen was unable to suppress the bandits, Beijing was about to fall, so he wanted to marry a daughter, send the prince south, and wanted to use Zhao Han to assist the country. Zhao Han didn’t accept it, and treated the prince and daughter of Ming Dynasty kindly.

Unify the country—

At that time, the northwestern bandits corrupted several provinces, the Liaodong Houjin slaughtered and looted, and the Ming Dynasty remnants of fish and flesh. Only Zhao Han comforted the people and resumed the development of social production. With a stable and deep foundation, enemies who make people miserable will surely triumph in every battle. Suiping the whole country.

Overseas expansion—

The Ming Dynasty implemented a maritime ban policy, and the coastal gentry controlled the interests of maritime trade.

Zhao Han actively opened the sea, cracked down on smuggling, and subdued the pirate Zheng Zhilong. First regained Macau, then defeated Spain and the Netherlands, and recovered Luzon, Taiwan, Java, and Malacca. The prince was named in South India, colonized the Falklands, and sent envoys to European countries. Immigrated to North America and Tanzhou, and the Chinese power spread all over the world.

Land Expansion—

Guangnan, Burma, Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Mongolia, Dawan, Ili, Ezo, and northern Korea, which were originally the homeland of China, were all recovered by Zhao Hanxing’s troops and established schools to educate the people. All parts of Haibei (Siberia) were ravaged by Tsarist Russia. The natives asked the imperial court to send troops, and Zhao Hanji’s 20 years of achievements were collected as the land of China.

【The rule of the beginning of the people】

The first dynasty of the Republic of China was one of the most splendid periods in Chinese history.

It abolished slaves, abolished the **** system, and implemented the policy of equality of all peoples and gender equality.

It is inclusive of ideology and culture, and the social trend of thought is flourishing, breaking through the shackles of the original Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties. Absorb ideas and technologies from all over the world, and integrate them into modern scientific trends in China. During the 46 years of the first dynasty of the Republic of China, more than 200 far-reaching thinkers emerged, and they laid the foundations of various schools of thought and scientific and technological theories for hundreds of years later.

It was an era of shining stars!

Centralization—

The official system of Datong basically followed the Ming Dynasty, but there were also a lot of modifications.

The central government implemented a system of one cabinet, two houses, and eight ministries, and the emperor gained unprecedented power.

The power of the inner court has been weakened, and female officials cannot monopolize power. The power of the foreign court was weakened, and the cabinet was checked and balanced by eight ministries and two houses. The Dudu Mansion has gained more military power, the Ministry of War and the Dudu Mansion have clear powers and responsibilities, and the army has more combat effectiveness and resilience.

National Governance—

The situation in the counties where the imperial power does not come down has been improved. In the middle and late period of the Republic of China, the mayor of the town was held by a rank official, and the imperial government’s decrees could be quickly conveyed to the villages and towns.

The policy of dividing land temporarily solves the problem of land mergers. The corvee system was abolished, the slave class completely disappeared, and the productive forces were greatly liberated.

Cracking down on corruption from time to time for a long time, the government of the first dynasty of the Republic of China was clear and bright, reaching the peak of the feudal dynasty. The Huanghuai water system, which had been flooded for hundreds of years, was successfully contained in the first dynasty of the Republic of China. The Liaoze issue was also eradicated in the last years of the Republic of China.

Establish the primary school, middle school, and university education system, establish the local official examination system, and coexist with the imperial examination system. Its education and official selection system laid the foundation for modern education and civil service system. The literacy rate of the people has been greatly improved, and the pinyin, punctuation, simplified characters (simplified Chinese characters that have existed in previous dynasties) and scientific measurement standards promoted by it have been used to this day. The global Chinese cultural circle can have a standard language and writing style.

Social productivity has been greatly developed, and China’s population has soared from 60 million to 190 million (many overseas territories have not yet been counted).

Reform traditional Chinese medicine and lay the foundation of modern medicine.

During the early years of the Republic of China, the Song and Ming Dynasties system was followed to improve the living conditions of orphans, widows and disabled groups. There was the first public library, the first public hospital, the first public stadium.

Diligent and thrifty—

Zhao Han is one of the most diligent and frugal emperors in Chinese history.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family’s expenses were not high, and the number of people in the Forbidden City was kept below 6,000. The number of concubines in Zhao Han’s harem has never exceeded 15, which is the least among feudal emperors.

Zhao Han’s lunch is basically a working meal, the same as that of ordinary officials. And while eating, while reviewing the memorial.

Datong clan, very little cost. Prince, county king and other titles, descendants other than five clothes, do not receive any preferential treatment, all are no different from ordinary people, and need to be self-reliant.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was no major construction, and the Forbidden City was the biggest royal project. Today’s Zijin Mountain Garden was not luxurious in the first dynasty of the Republic of China, and was expanded by successive emperors.

Appoint officials—

slightly.

Immigration Policy—

In the early years of Datong, the population in the north was extremely scarce, and the imperial court organized official immigration. Then, they immigrated to the Western Regions, Southwest, Northeast, North and overseas. The Chinese-speaking population covers Yinhua in North America in the east, inland Africa in the west, the Republic of South China (Australia) in the south, and the Arctic Ocean in the North Pole.

Cultural thoughts—

Zhao Han’s thought establishment and implementation…slightly (anti-shielding).

”Zhuo Chen Anthology” includes one novel by Zhao Han, one opera, and 32 poems, all of which are well-known.

Anecdote—

Zhao Han is best known as a gourmet.

Before he joined the army, he worked as a chef in a restaurant in Hekou Town, Qianshan County. He said that his ancestors were royal chefs. However, after research by experts of later generations, the identities of the descendants of the royal chef are fabricated. Because Zhao Han likes spicy food, most of the dishes he handed down are related to chili peppers, which were introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty.

The most classic dish invented by Zhao Han is tomato scrambled eggs. It is very popular, easy to cook, and spread all over the world. The table etiquette and menus of the royal families in various European countries are mostly imitated by the Nanjing Palace.

Zhao Han also likes to engage in scientific inventions. The founders of modern physics, chemistry, and mathematics often record in his private notes that he was instructed by Zhao Han. Even including the invention of the steam engine, there are traces left by Zhao Han. Scholars of later generations are often shocked by these details when studying historical materials, and it is hard to imagine the breadth of what Zhao Han learned. He even left the famous song “Taizu Breaking the Array” and ordered the promotion of twelve equal temperaments.

【Historical evaluation】

Xiao Shixuan: For my mathematics, I actually seek advice from Taizu.

Huang Zongxi: Is there someone born with knowledge? I have seen it, Taizu is also.

Louis XIV: I am the Sun King of the West, and Zhao is the Philosopher King of the East. The two greatest monarchs in the world are here.

Peter the Great: I am Zhao Han from Russia, you must obey me unconditionally.

Abbas II (Emperor of Persia): He is the king of kings, he is the light of the world, if I can meet him face to face, I will feel the supreme honor.

Deng Guangye (King of Mahua): Our ancestors ruled Mashima (Madagascar) through the blessing of Taizu. Now, we can be independent because Taizu treated our ancestors well, but now we are exploited by our mother country. We still respect the Taizu as the father of the nation, this is unquestionable and unavoidable.

A certain character that cannot be said: slightly.
