In A.D. 1643, Wugang was captured by hooligans, and Zhu Qi, the ninth king of Min, was killed, and the royal families of Min and Fan in Ming Dynasty perished.
Although in the Ming Dynasty, most members of Fan Min's imperial clan were ordinary people, and no outstanding figures were produced. Today, however, the descendants of this family have produced an outstanding politician who has attracted worldwide attention, that is, Zhu Rongji, former Prime Minister of People's Republic of China (PRC) and Prime Minister of the State Council.
According to records, the family is the son of Zhu, the eighth generation descendant of Ming Jing, Wang Shizi and Zhu Ganqi. The family later moved from Wugang, Hunan Province to Tangpo, Ansha Township, Changsha, Hunan Province, and became the Zhu family of Tangpo Duofu Hall. Zhu Shengzhu, Zhu Shengzhu, Zhu Shengzhu, Zhu Shengtai, Zhu Litai gave birth to Zhu Yuanshan, Zhu Yuanshan gave birth to Gui, and Zhu Guigui gave birth to Zhu Fangxu. Zhu is my grandfather.
Zhu, named He Sheng, was a juren in Guangxu for 20 years, and later served as a Taoist priest in Henan. Zhu has six sons. The third son is called Zhu Kuanjun and Hou Jie. He is Zhu Tianchi's father. He served as the county magistrate of Jiangling in the late Qing Dynasty, and retired to the countryside after the Revolution of 1911. The youngest son is called Zhu Kuanshu, also known as Sheng. He is the father.
Zhu Rongji, the posthumous son of Zhu Kuanshu, was born in 1928. After his birth, his uncle Zhu Kuanjun named him Chang Geng, which included the double sustenance of long life and literary fame, and named him Zhu Rongji according to his genealogy.
Out of Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, along the 107 National Road, heading east for 32km, you will arrive at Heping Village, Ansha Town, Changsha County, the hometown of Premier Zhu Rongji.
Turn on a cement path and wind into the mountain. See the graceful bamboo trees among the flowers on both sides, and walk for two or three kilometers. The place name is Tangpo, where Zhu Zuji "Tianyuan" once lived. "It used to be a big house, but it was completely demolished in the 1960s," said Xiao Song of Heping Village Committee.
"Zhu Rongji was born here and spent his childhood." Huang, the branch secretary of Heping Village, told the reporter, "He probably left Tangpo when he was over 9 years old." The place where Zhu Zuji lives is now a nursery, with purple maple trees all over the place, and the empty terrain can still imagine the scale of that year.
Zhu Peizhen, who is over eighty years old, is Zhu Ji's childhood playmate. Holding a stick, she trembled to guide the reporter. "You see, on that flat land, we played skipping rope when we were children." The old man still remembers, "When I was young, this Yazi was very clever and honest. If you don't hit him, he will cry and say: I won't hit you, I won't hit you. " Zhu Peizhen is Zhu Rongji's cousin, and the old man is old. "I can't remember things decades ago." But Zhu Rongji didn't forget this childhood playmate.
My cousin Zhu Tianchi has compiled the history of Zhujiatangpo. According to the information compiled by him, the Zhu family in Tangpo is the direct descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, the eighteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and should be the seventeenth grandson.
After the descendants lived in Wugang for more than 65,438+000 years, Li Zicheng and Zhang revolted in the late Ming Dynasty, and the Zhu family fled everywhere. One of them fled to Tangpo, Changsha, and Zhu Tianchi (Cui) went to Yunnan, Wugang and other places to inspect this history. "After the unrest, only a few people fled to Tangpo. They were poor and could only make a living by teaching." According to the later class analysis point of view, the Zhujiajian family in Tangpo at this time was as poor as a church mouse, and was considered to be extremely poor. In the following hundreds of years, they started their business from scratch. During this period, the Zhujiajian family continued to be employed, but according to later records, it was Zhu Rongji's grandfather Zhu Changlin (Tian Yu) who really lifted the Zhujiajian family out of poverty and became rich. According to Zhu's genealogy, in the 28th year of Qing Daoguang (A.D. 1848), there were abundant grains, and the grain was cheap, reaching a low price of several thousand yuan and three stones. Yutian Zhu spent all his money to buy it, the next year. And began to buy land on a large scale and build houses in urban and rural areas.
This anecdote is also recorded in the local chronicles of Changsha: Yutian Zhu later switched to selling salt tea, running a bank and mining, and finally became the richest man in Changsha. The Jia Zhu Garden he built, "the best in the Yuelu Xiangjiang River, named Bangyi", was listed as the first garden in Changsha.
Zhu Rongji's father's name is Uncle Kuan. He is a posthumous child, and his father died before he met him. Zhu Xisheng has six brothers and several sisters. Is he the oldest? It is said that Zhu Xisheng is extremely clever. When he was young, he read widely and was quite ambitious. He once took Qu Yuan's meaning that "everyone is drunk, I wake up alone" and claimed to be a "sober person".
I have a very good relationship with my eldest brother Jane, and later correspondence seems to support this point: 1998, Jane, who is far away in the United States, wrote an inscription on her 90th birthday and 60th wedding anniversary to congratulate her. This should be Zhu Rongji's inscription and the only one that Mo Bao gave to his relatives.
