My New Ming Empire

I have read many online novels about traveling through the Ming Dynasty, but I dare to say with all my heart that this one is definitely one of the best online novels that can make you a god.

As for whether the Ming Dynasty should move the capital, I am self-righteous in hindsight. This is how I view Nanjing as the capital: 1. Nanjing as the capital is in line with the basic law that the economic and political centers in ancient human history were basically in the same region. Taking the powerful Han and Tang Dynasties as an example, the Guanzhong or Heluo region, where the political center of the country was located, happened to be the national economic center. Since the Song Dynasty, the country's economic, taxation, and cultural centers have moved to the south of the Yangtze River. In ancient times, the capital was in the economic and talent center, which was more conducive to the development of the economy, people's livelihood, and court taxation. 2. Historically, the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, whose capital was Beijing, spent huge amounts of manpower and material resources on the northward transport of grain and other living materials every year, resulting in a huge consumption of the wealth of the entire society. If the capital was in Nanjing, this problem would not exist. 3. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty and the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the germination of ZI BENism appeared. History cannot be repeated, but we can assume that if the Ming Dynasty did not move the capital, would the sprouts of Zibenism in Jiangnan eventually grow into a big tree? From the perspective of economic people's livelihood, the development of Zibenism, and great navigation and geographical discoveries, moving the capital to Beijing is a manifestation of a land power, agriculture, and defensive country. If the capital is left in Nanjing, it is possible to develop an enterprising maritime power that focuses on industry and commerce. 4. To develop commerce, colonization, cultural export, develop navy and sea power under ancient conditions, and to maintain national capital security under sea power conditions, staying in Nanjing as the capital has more advantages than Beijing: 4.1 Nanjing is located close to the midpoint between the north and the south, which is conducive to controlling and assimilating the southern gate of cultural export - Nanyang, the colonial frontier base and the national security frontier base - Nanyang, without deviating too far from the north. Historically, after the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, more than ten generations of Chinese operations in Nanyang went back hundreds of years. This is a fact. 4.2 Compared with Beijing, Nanjing is more advantageous in terms of security: 4.2.1 Nanjing is more moderately distanced from the sea and sea lanes. Beijing is only separated from the sea by Tianjin, while Nanjing is much further away from the sea.           4.2.2 ,,,,,           4.2.3  ,,,???, 5. Since the Song Dynasty, the north has become increasingly conservative in its attitude towards industry and commerce, while the south has been more practical and flexible. This regional characteristic still exists today. From the perspective of developing industry, commerce and trade in ancient times, the southern region was better. 6. In the era of cold weapons, nomadic civilization has always been the nemesis of agricultural civilization. Unless agricultural civilization can take advantage of the following advantages, it will be difficult to win: 6.1 Use the huge financial resources and population advantages to develop more and more cavalry than the nomadic people. Even if my cavalry's ability to fight in a duel is not better than yours, I have money and people with good equipment. I will use money and population to pile up more cavalry and kill you! This is what the Han and Tang Dynasties did. They used this method to kill and overthrow the Huns and Turks respectively, and even indirectly created the "Whip of God" that frightened Europe. But what about the Ming Dynasty? During the Ming Dynasty, the taxes of the imperial court were not even as high as those of the small imperial court of Pian'an in the Southern Song Dynasty. Even maintaining the rule became increasingly difficult. It was a type of people who had no money, so they died. (Note: This article does not involve discussing the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, but the appearance is that the cavalry arms in the middle and late Ming Dynasties are no match for the Manchu forces.) 6.2 Use economic, cultural, and technological advantages to climb the technology tree and enter the era of thermal weapons as soon as possible, because historically, thermal weapons are the natural enemies of nomadic civilization. Since humans entered the era of thermal weapons, all nomadic civilizations have declined without exception. But obviously after the capital was moved to Beijing, the political center was far away from the economic, cultural and technological center. In underdeveloped ancient times, it was not conducive to climbing the technological tree. 7. To refute arguments such as "Jinling does not have the aura of a king", the national strategy should be guided by Feng Shui? Except for the Ming Dynasty, there has indeed never been a second dynasty in history that conquered the south and conquered the north and then dominated the world. The feudal courts of China in the Cold Weapon Era were far ahead of the northern nomadic tribes and countries in terms of total GDP, per capita GDP, fiscal revenue, education level, and technological level), but these were not worth the advantages brought by the BUG-level weapons and horses of the northern nomadic civilization in the Cold Weapon Era. Therefore, in history, the difficulty of conquering the north from the south and defending the north from the south were all at the purgatory level. The reason was that the farming civilization lacked war horses, was not good at cultivating and raising war horses, and lacked knights who could skillfully use war horses. It was not a Feng Shui problem. To sum up, short-term interests prevail if the city is relocated; long-term interests lie if it is not relocated. Moving the capital represents continued development in the direction of an inland farming civilization that is doomed to have no future and a more conservative development; if the capital is not moved, it may develop in the direction of a maritime civilization based on industry, commerce and trade. Moving the capital will cause the national power and social wealth to be contained and restrained by the nomads; if you do not move the capital, there will be a certain probability of entering the era of hot weapons, thereby restraining the nomads. Moving the capital will inevitably lead to a gradual loss of financial power. For example, in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a problem that the court had difficulty in collecting taxes. On the other hand, until the Southern Song Dynasty, until it was destroyed, although the court was weak and peaceful, and its area was much smaller than that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, taxation was not as difficult as in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties. If the capital was not moved, it would be difficult to control the army, lose military power, and even lose the monarchy. Move the capital and wait for death slowly; if you don't move the capital, you may be courting death. Are you willing to wait for death slowly, or do you have the courage to live towards death and seek death? History cannot repeat itself, we can only make a deduction that will make you laugh.

Can you please stop talking about past lives? As the source of a cheat, it is enough to say it once in the early stage. How was it in the past life every three to five days? Do you have foreshadowing or do you want to go back in time? We already know that the protagonist's past life was very, very nb. There is no need to repeat it in detail.

I think the author should delete and rewrite these chapters. They are too controversial. Most readers do not accept the settings of religion and monarchy and divine power.

After reading more than 20 chapters, I really couldn't stand it anymore and gave up the book~ First, as for moving the capital, I already mentioned it in this chapter. Zhu Di moved the capital not simply to make it easier to conquer Mongolia or for the emperor to guard the country, but to make the Ming Dynasty last longer. Think about it, what would have happened if the capital of the Ming Dynasty was still in Nanjing during the Tumubao Incident? I'm afraid it won't turn into the Southern Song Dynasty immediately? In fact, Zhu Di had foreseen this a long time ago, but he had no other choice but to move the capital to Beijing! Secondly, regarding conferring a knighthood on Zheng He (it seems to be a knighthood or a promotion in the article, I can't remember clearly), since the protagonist may not be able to get through to Zhu Di, why do you still agree so casually? Is this something the world's richest man did? Don't you understand the principle of "paying lip service but not delivering the truth; resentment and misfortune will bring disaster to your body"? Either make it clear to Zheng He that you will give him the title after you ascend the throne in the future, or don't tell him and tell him after you have done it - didn't you harm Zheng He by being so careless before you have done this? Zhu Di would definitely kill Zheng He if he disagreed with the title. The reason was very simple. Zheng He was just a slave of the royal family. A slave could never be resentful towards his master. However, the master's stupidity made the slave dissatisfied, and this slave happened to be very capable. What should I do? I have no choice but to take control of Zhilan and have to get rid of it~ To be honest, the whole novel can actually be rated as 60 points, but the author doesn't know what he thinks. He insists on setting the protagonist to be the world's richest man in time travel, and insists on riding on the popularity of the previous novel. These bugs are simply unbearable~ Again, not everyone can write well, especially for authors who have not yet graduated from school. It is best to change to a character that is easy to write, so that bugs can be solved~

Chapter 7: Moving the capital is the biggest mistake. Abandon the book and say goodbye. Don't think about it, another Song Dynasty is too prosperous and corrodes people's hearts. There is no guarantee for future generations. In a place where literati are concentrated, your future generations will not be fooled to death. The most important military power, in that era when you go out and just shout, how can you control it? It doesn't work politically, it doesn't work militarily, it's superstitious, it's the dead center of the Nine Palaces, what are you playing with? Did Nanjing have a long-lasting dynasty? In modern times, there are nuclear weapons, and the capital is not located in Nanjing. Think about the anti-Japanese era, everyone knows that Nanjing cannot be defended.

It felt awkward and awkward to see the protagonist explaining various modern terms to others.

When I saw Chapter 62, the writing alone was okay, better than most authors. However, when I saw Chapter 62, I found that the author had a wrong understanding of the relationship between economics and politics. How should I put it? China is a river civilization that relied on the development of the Yellow River Basin. The agricultural economy occupies a dominant position. Chinese civilization has several times The big development is actually the development of productivity brought about by the advancement of production technology, which in turn promotes the development of cultural science and technology. For example, the invention of the plow and the use of animal power have improved the efficiency of farming and created more production and living materials. With sufficient supply of materials, civilization has ushered in a big development. China The political foundation of the country is the small-scale peasant economy. Whether it emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business or Confucian culture (after the Western Han Dynasty), it is just an external manifestation of it, because the economic foundation determines the superstructure. After Chinese businessmen make money, they do not invest in expanding production, but buy large amounts of land and become the landlord class. , This is also the origin of land annexation, not because of lack of political support, but because the economic foundation of ancient China was a small-scale peasant economy. Its biggest feature was self-sufficiency. The reason for focusing on agriculture and suppressing business was not because of fear of businessmen seizing power, but because of insufficient labor. Everyone went into business. Where did the food come from? The West also had a strong feudal landlord class at the beginning. However, unlike the East, Western civilization originated from a maritime civilization. Its characteristics were small countries with few people, city-state politics, small populations, and little reliance on land. But even so, after the Age of Discovery, Western countries began to rely on the economic development brought about by the import of production materials from overseas colonies. Merchants or the bourgeoisie began to enter the stage of history. It was not until the beginning of the first industrial revolution that the bourgeoisie officially became a class. After replacing the original feudal landlord class, the political system began to change at this time. The sentence "military is the continuation of politics" is followed by another sentence: "Politics is the expression of economy." The economy here does not refer to currency. Currency that lacks the endorsement of means of production is waste paper. Economy refers to your food, steel, cement and other materials necessary for social production and life. The methods and technologies for producing these materials are the difference between industrial and agricultural civilizations. The factor that most directly affects economic development is your production. The economic base determines the superstructure (political system), which in turn promotes the development of productive forces. When the productive forces develop to a certain extent (such as when civilization was about to transform from agriculture to industry during the first industrial revolution), the superstructure no longer adapts to economic development but hinders economic development. There are only two choices before the rulers: one is to reform (such as the implementation of a constitutional monarchy in the United Kingdom); the other is to refuse reform and be overthrown by revolution (such as the French Revolution and China's New Democracy) Revolution) This is the relationship between economy and politics. In Chapter 62, you equated currency with economy, and the previous trade was actually not possible in the Ming Dynasty at that time, because the productivity at that time had not developed to the peak of the small-scale peasant economy, and there were not enough production materials for you to do business. Self-sufficiency is the focus of the small-scale peasant economy. In fact, the most correct way is to improve production technology to promote the development of productivity, because the development of civilization is a terrible thing whether it is ahead or backward. Please visit Wang Mang if you are ahead of the curve. To drive backwards, please visit Louis XVI of France (I can't remember the one who was beheaded in the 16th or 14th century). Then there is currency. Currency is just a general equivalent. What you want to control is actually the means of production. Those big guys who say that money is meaningless are not completely pretending, because only the means of production are meaningful from an economic point of view. Your point of view is financial rather than economic. The role of controlling currency is quite limited. For example, we cannot buy many high technologies with money. These high technologies are the means of production, and then there is the globe. What is your purpose of conquering the world? The roots of wars in human history are all economic. For example, the Xiongnu went south to the Central Plains to plunder the means of production. Another example is that the two world wars were actually fought for the world market. The Opium War was to open up the Chinese market, and the Anglo-French war was The Anglo-Spanish (Spanish) War was to control maritime trade. The Great Navigation was because the Ottoman Turkish Empire monopolized trade between China and the West. Western countries had to open ocean routes. The root cause of these wars or events that affected world history was economics. The war was fought for money, not gold and silver. It was about the production of materials, as well as the time cost and other costs when you produced these things. When a war It would be foolish for you to fight this war when the benefits are lower than the cost of your war. Most of the wars before the 15th century were about fighting for the means of production, and the wars after the 15th century were about fighting for the trade market. But in the final analysis, they were all caused by the economy. So what is the purpose of conquering the world? Can your productivity turn the land into the means of production? After all, it needs to be developed. Is the population enough? There is a market for talented people but they cannot be poor. Have you thought about how to change your political system? The monarchy is not suitable for industrial civilization. Have you considered whether you want to establish a constitutional monarchy or a democratic republic? In terms of population, the first industrial revolution took the United Kingdom a hundred years. The second industrial revolution took several major Western countries (Britain, the United States, France, and Germany) the same hundred years. The major countries in the world have not completed the third industrial revolution since World War II. Why can you complete this task within a few decades? If it is not possible to open up colonies, the consequences will be that the United Kingdom and the United States (the North American colonies are independent) have inconvenient transportation and communication Finally, in terms of navigation, the West is because land trade is blocked but it has a huge demand for spices, tea and other materials from the East, so it has no choice but to start large voyages. But in the East, what do you say? The biggest feature of the small farmer economy is that it Self-sufficiency, the West was not attractive to the Chinese at that time, and trade was not just talk, because as I said before, due to the economic impact, when Chinese businessmen made money, they did not invest in expanding reproduction, but bought land. They continued to buy land and eventually the land was annexed. Peasants broke out in uprising to establish a new dynasty and start a new cycle. You can only solve the small peasant economy. How to solve it? Improve production technology to promote the development of productivity. At the right time, take out the steam engine and officially transform towards industrial civilization. Don't think about it in one step from the beginning. The development of civilization cannot be spurred on, unless you have plug-ins. After the development of productivity, the first thing you will face is that the political system needs to be reformed, otherwise you will have to wait for the revolution. So the emperors at that time were not Business was not valued, but China's economic foundation at that time determined the superstructure. This historical context is not something that a time traveler can disobey. This is not a fantasy novel. Time travelers only have advanced ideas, but they must rely on the people of that era after all. If you complete China's transformation from agriculture to industry, you will inevitably face political system reform, otherwise revolution is waiting for you. If the author still plans to write this kind of historical text, he might as well look for some books on social humanities and dialectical materialism. Your writing style is not bad. After all, there are a lot of writers here at Qidian. Your writing style is quite good at Qidian, but your understanding of politics and economics is wrong. Maybe you are a student of science and engineering and it is normal. If you still plan to write this type of book, you can refer to what I said or find some information in this regard. I believe it is not very good, but at least your writing style is not bad.

When you understand the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasties, you will be so disgusted with the Qing Dynasty. Although the people at that time were very miserable, they did not kneel down when they saw anyone. The Qing Dynasty had almost all the bad habits of China. For the sake of the ignorant people who ruled, the first industrial revolution was in the Ming Dynasty of China and ended in the Qing Dynasty.
