Explanation:

Hong Wu (Zhu Yuanzhang) ended the chaotic Yuan era, restoring stability to China. He was known for extreme purges and harsh punishments of those he deemed disloyal, including officials and perceived dissenters. He did not expel all foreign merchants (early Ming had limited foreign trade) and defeated Mongol rulers, not sharing power with them.

• He reestablished peace and order to China.
• He harshly punished Chinese he considered disloyal.
