Why did Ming Taizu establish Nanjing as his capital? How were Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory formed in the Ming Dynasty? Why did capitalism sprout in the Ming Dynasty?

However, the Ming Dynasty was also a stage of relatively developed commodity economy, and there was an economic prosperity phenomenon that was called "the sprout of capitalism" in later generations. How unique is this dynasty in Chinese history? Open this book and let us follow Wu Han, the master of history, to get a glimpse of the true face of the Ming Dynasty and understand why it prospered and why it died.
