The Rise and Fall of the Ming Empire

About This Novel

This book tells the relationship between the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise and fall of its bureaucracy and army. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, a rogue and bandit, established the dynasty with a strong army and was recorded in history books as Emperor Taizu Gao. However, the failed Li Zicheng became a thief, thief, bandit, and bandit. Although he was also an emperor, old historians were snobbish. However, force can be used to seize political power, but it cannot be used to govern a country. To govern a country, you must establish a bureaucracy that is easy to use and can be used by the emperor, and bureaucracy must use literati. The interests of the scholar-bureaucrats were consistent with the imperial power. They served the imperial power and helped the emperor govern the country. Once this institution was completely corrupted, the empire would inevitably fall. The famous historian Wu Han uses a fair and rigorous attitude, real and interesting historical materials, and reveals the historical logic behind the rise and fall of the Ming Empire from the two main perspectives of bureaucracy and the army.
