Everyone in the world thinks Ming Dynasty is good, but Ming Dynasty has lost people's hearts. The Ming Dynasty was the dynasty with the most peasant uprisings in history, and the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by peasant uprisings. The Ming Dynasty claimed not to cede land, but in the early Ming Dynasty, there were 7 million square kilometers of land. In the middle period, there were only 4 million square kilometers left. In the later period, only 3.5 Million square kilometers were left, and half of the land was gone. The Ming Dynasty claimed not to pay tribute, but it paid protection fees for sixty years. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, clearly abolished the prime minister, but the civil servants almost ignored the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once explicitly prohibited eunuchs from intervening in politics. However, the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were very troublesome and had great power. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister to decentralize power, Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Di established the cabinet to centralize power, Zhu Gaochi's son Zhu Gaochi decentralized power to the cabinet out of laziness, and Zhu Gaochi's son Zhu Zhanji supported the eunuchs to check and balance the increasing power of the cabinet.
