Is it right or wrong? Is it right or wrong to restrain the military through civil government?
Should the maritime bans be lifted or enforced? Who can say whether opening the seas is right or wrong?
In the mid-Ming period, land consolidation grew ever more severe, while factional struggles in the bureaucracy began to emerge.
Civil officials sought a clean reputation; military officers fought to stay alive!
At a crossroads in history.
In this era of global upheaval, Europe entered the Age of Discovery and began exploring the world.
Would Zhu Houzhao follow the laws of his ancestors and leave the lands beyond his borders to the barbarians, or would he rely on his own strength to forge a different kind of Great Ming?
Would he remain confined by ancestral laws, or break free of their constraints and take a chance, sending Chinese civilization across the four corners of the world?
The east rises and the west sets; the sun and moon endure through the ages, and Great Ming will always stand!
The sky and the earth are like an egg. The sky is the shell and the earth is the yolk. I don't know what this means. The ancients have had this theory for a long time, and the world map that appeared after Zheng He's voyages to the West is the result. The round sky and the square place are just one of the theories. Not everyone thinks so. Also, the eunuch, who has the same position as the political commissar, is the same as the military supervisor, but with different rights. Why is there no place for him in the military parade? He is not a general
The content you wrote is quite good! I just read it roughly, and I feel that the overall writing is quite smooth, and the logic is more rigorous than many books about the Ming Dynasty that I have read.
In fact, I have a point of view. It is right to use culture to suppress military force. No matter it is a modern country or an ancient country, it is like this.
It's well written. I hope it will generally follow history, but changes need to be made. I hope the Zhengde reign will last for 60 years.
If there is anything wrong, I hope all book friends will forgive me.
The writing is very good and the logic is very clear, but can the author update it quickly?
Good book, well written, not toxic and reliable, the author has something 👍
Beautifully written, keep it up
Not bad! Although there are many questions, please encourage me!
