Daming: Spoilers for the Future, Zhu Yuanzhang Collapsed

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty who I feel sorry for today is the Shimiao Emperor Jiajing. He had the talent for governing the country like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, but he did not have the virtue of governing the country like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was also the closest to possible successful reform in that era. Whether it was for his own Lao Zhu family or China, it was beneficial to human civilization As for Chongzhen, forget it, he has neither the talent of the world temple, nor the virtue of the world temple. There were two turning points in Shimiao's life. The first was Zhang Cong's death and he lost the civil servant leaders who supported his reform. The second was Xia Yan's backstabbing. His later revenge led to the complete failure of the reform. Everything starts from the Gengshu Incident Everyone complains that the capital of the Jiajing Dynasty was besieged. It's such a shame. If anyone is interested to learn more about this history, anyone who knows a little bit about mathematics will find a problem. The numbers of the Gengshu Incident are not scientific at all. "Records of the Ming Dynasty" records that during the Gengxu Incident, the northern states and counties reported that two million people and livestock were mutilated and plundered. The princes of Temple Gonggun were beaten to death, but they never guessed that there would be a comparable case in later generations The total number of Huang Taiji who entered the pass five times and plundered the capital was only 1.8 Million people. Comparing the numbers, you will find that the Gengxu Revolution of the Jiajing Dynasty was seriously watered down. Behind the crazy injection of water was the collective need of the civil servants in the six cabinet departments to humiliate Jiajing by using Anda to enter the pass, so that the emperor had no prestige to continue to implement the reform, and by the way, the local deficit was filled by burning the warehouse with fire dragons. Nada's invasion was not a one-time event, but a continuous one. There are records of the eleventh year of Jiajing, Nada's mutiny in Datong, and Datong was almost lost, the invasion of Jiajing's nineteenth year, and the invasion again in the twentieth year of Jiajing. The key figure in historical turning point, Guo Xun. From the beginning of his succession to the throne, Jiajing placed Guo Xun in high regard, intending to rule the world's civil servants with military honors. Jiajing's arrangement itself has no problem. The suppression of military generals by civil servants has always been a dead end in the middle and late Yin Dynasty. Starting from the good saint grandson (Zhu Yunwen) trusting the civil servants to send Hetao and Annan, to the director of the Civil Engineering Admissions Office (Zhu Qizhen) who killed the nobles with a wave of studs, and then to Xianzong's reuse of eunuchs as military generals. It was the West Factory that the East Factory dared to manage. 2 Wang Zhi was the eunuch who was the most hacked. He suggested that the emperor hold military examinations and promote generals from the grassroots level. He rushed thousands of miles to attack Mongolia and beat the Mongolian leader Dayan Khan Batu Mengke to flee alone. There was also Emperor Chenghua's plowing holes, which almost killed the Jianzhou Jurchens, the ancestors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to genocide. This is also the reason why Xianzong and Wang Zhi were so notoriously hacked by the Qing Dynasty's "History of the Ming Dynasty" that they were clearly ranked among the top 3 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. After Xianzong's death, the whole hall laughed loudly and gave up military power and compromised with the civil servants. The bastards in Xiaozong's cabinet don't even mention burning navigation charts. The key is to abolish the Kaizhong law. The imperial court had a lot of silver, but food from all corners of the country had to be transported from the mainland. Food prices skyrocketed, and soldiers' wages were lost to civilian officials. The key was that inflation caused soldiers to not be able to buy enough food with the silver they received. This is why the Ming Dynasty was strong in combat when it was founded. However, in the middle and late stages, various reasons were found to be short of money and food in Jiubian. In the past, grain was grown in merchant villages, and soldiers received grain as wages locally. The result was that the gentry who sold grain in the interior were enriched. The civil servants could set their own prices to sell grain The food was given to Jiubian, and the salt merchants who were attached to the gentry did not have to work hard to farm in Jiubian. They could directly use the money to buy salt and sell it to the people at a high price. Later Wu Zong recognized his son in various ways and wanted to take back the military power. Finally, he went to the World Temple to trade with Wu Xun PY and gained military power again. Jiajing's idea was that Guoxun was old and prestigious and could withstand the harm of civil servants, and then slowly cultivated Zhu Xizhong to take over. In this way, after two generations, the Ming Dynasty Xunqi could at least resist the fate of being suppressed by civil servants. All kings are domineering and domineering, and they never use Confucianism purely. Guo Xun was caught by the civil servants. Jiajing sent Guo Xun to Zhao Prison for protection in order to avoid further investigation by the civil servants. Dan Jiajing never expected that the civil servants would be so unscrupulous and directly assassinated Guo Xun. People who died in Zhao Prison cannot be investigated, because the person who manages Zhao Prison is Jiajing's brother Lu Bing. When Guo Xun died, the emperor was slapped in the face, and Lu Bing was also threatened. The person who killed Guoxun was Xia Yan, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. This is also the reason why Yan Song wanted to kill Xia Yan later, and Lu Bing added fuel to the flames. Lu Bing hated him . How much does Jiajing trust Xia Yan? He was the prince's teacher, and the emperor's teacher was Jiajing's reward for Xia Yan's support of his reforms. However, Xia Yan's stab in the back not only led to his own death, but his student, the Ming Emperor the prince, died unjustly the day after he came out of the cabinet. Without the protection of Xia Yan, the prince came out of the cabinet. History records that the crown ceremony was held on March 15th, and he paid homage to the Ancestral Temple on the 16th day. He died suddenly in Qingning Palace on the 17th day. People who wanted the prince to die were too lazy to act. In May, the distinguished boss Zhou Shangwen died suddenly in Datong. At the end of the year, Weng Wanda ran away, and Ding You returned home after his father died. In the first month of the second year, Zhan Rong, the Minister of War, who had always supported Jiajing, resigned and ran away, which made Jiajing furious. At this point, the three walls of Xuanda supporting Jiajing were completely broken. All the prerequisites for Anda to open the Beijing dungeon were met. The prestige gained from Jiajing's arrogant etiquette was all lost, and the army was defeated like a mountain. Shimiao was disheartened and lay down completely. I have gone to cultivate immortality. The biggest contradiction of the Jiajing Dynasty was the opening of the sea. After the Renyin Palace Revolution, many people criticized Jiajing for being cruel and almost strangled to death by the palace maids, but they did not think about how the palace ladies crossed many obstacles and ran to Jiajing's palace to assassinate Jiajing. They also did not think about why after the Renyin Palace Revolution, the queen immediately executed two concubines and Jiajing killed the queen with a backhand. How deep is the water here? I still haven't figured out which one is which. If most people don't understand this period of history in depth, they may never imagine that the queen and concubines were pawns in the Wang Yin Palace coup, and the real trigger was Annan's surrender that happened in the same year. In the 20th year of Jiajing, Shimiao sent a total of 125,000 people from the state of Guizhou to conquer Annan. Jiajing regained Annan. Since then, the biggest obstacle to opening the sea has been eliminated. (Don't ask why Annan was needed to open the sea, why Annan was lost and the great voyage was lost, and don't ask why Liu Daxia burned the sea map, and asked Xiaozong to give up recovering Annan and read the map himself). At this time, the southeastern gentry began to ignore martial ethics and simply flipped the table, so the Renyin Official Revolution took place. The Jiajing Dynasty was a dynasty where the conflicts between imperial power, ministerial power, and martial arts broke out. Especially in the first two decades, with the deepening of Jiajing's reform and the opening of the Southeast Sea, the contradiction between imperial power and ministerial power completely intensified. This is the reason why Xia Yan stabbed Jiajing in the back. His class position did not allow him to stand on Jiajing's side. The reason why Jiajing was able to control the court was not because of his extraordinary talent, but because of the fighting power shown by Jiajing in the Great Ceremony, which gave the martial arts soldiers hope. Wu Xun's collective will chose to cooperate with Jiajing. This was also the last desperate fight for the martial arts warriors. For this reason, Wu Xun They even did not hesitate to give away part of the benefits. That is, when Jiajing and Guo Xun were trading in PY, Jiajing promoted a large number of middle and low-level generals from poor families. Without the acquiescence and support of the military officers, how could Jiajing obtain military power by taking the bottom route? The nobles who hold the world scroll may not be able to accomplish anything, but if something bad happens, Jiajing has nothing to do . As long as Wu Xun cries in the temple and does not let Jiajing hold martial arts examinations, Jiajing will not be able to promote even a poor general . What kind of strategy is not to say that it is completely useless, but it is only slightly useful. Is it because Taizu (Zhu Yuanzhang) and Chengzu (Zhu Di) are so fierce because of their extraordinary wisdom? No, it is because these two emperors have military power, and they can kill them if they disagree. The emperor with military power is the complete emperor. When Guo Xun collectively loyal to Jiajing on behalf of the nobles, Jiajing was able to resist Anda's invasion in the north again and again. Coupled with the support of the two chief assistants, Zhang Cong and Xia Yan. Without the collective support of civil servants and generals, Jiajing would dare to engage in such a difficult matter as reform? Many people say that there is no such thing as a civil servant group. The civil servants have never coalesced into a group. In fact, it is simple to explain this problem. The teacher teaches us step by step how to think about politics in just two sentences. Second, playing politics means making too many friends and too few enemies. Jiajing used great etiquette to divide the civil servants and win over some of the lower-level scholar-bureaucrats who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and whose blood had not yet cooled down, such as the radical reformist Zhang Cong and Xia Yan, and attacked Yang Ting and these conservative forces who used the ancestral system as a memorial arch. Winning over the left wing of the civil servants and attacking the right wing of the civil servants allowed the nobles who had been lying down to see the hope of rising again, so Guo Xun led the generals to use the last afterglow to fight against Jiajing. This is the reason why Jiajing's power is second only to the second founding ancestor. It is the strength he showed that made everyone choose to follow him. The more people who support him, the stronger Jiajing will be. Rather than Shi Laozi's emperor's machinations and schemes, these are the "arts of governing the country". Through one's own abilities, promoting common ideals, finding like-minded people, and using common interests to unite everyone into a whole, this is the "way" of governing the country. A monarch who has skills but no principles will only alienate his ministers and the people of the world, and cannot become a true emperor. In this form, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be saved even if he comes alive. In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang began to have an estrangement from his ministers. There is public support, but sooner or later his policy will fail. How do those people fight in the late Ming Dynasty? Eight of Jiajing's sons died in battle, Jiajing's reforms. The blood had already flowed to his body, and the child was only one child, so he lay down and went to cultivate immortality.

One more thing to add, Zhu Yuanzhang's temple name is Taizu, and his posthumous title is Emperor Gao. Together they are Emperor Taizu and Gao. Hongwu is the reign name, not the posthumous title, not the posthumous title, not the posthumous title...

One more thing, the Qianqing Palace, the Kunning Palace, the Wenhua Palace, and the Wuying Palace all belong to the Forbidden City in Nanjing. The Forbidden City in Beijing later copied them. Why is the Forbidden City called the Forbidden City? Because it is built under the Purple Mountain in Nanjing.

To add some common sense, the Forbidden City was founded by Zhu Yuanzhang. First there was the Southern Forbidden City. Later, after Zhu Di established the capital in Peiping, he built the Northern Forbidden City based on the Southern Forbidden City... The Ming Dynasty had two capitals.

Except for Chongzhen, a fool who was addicted to food, none of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were fuel-efficient.

The demise of the Ming Dynasty was self-inflicted. The source was the vassal policy of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. Zhu Yuanzhang himself was too double-standard, and his son should not enjoy it. He could do anything. But at least the first generation of vassal kings was still capable. Later, Zhu Di cut back the military power and the vassal kings could only stay at home and feed the common people. The privileges are still there, you only need to give birth to children at home, and the court will support them all, but they have to be shared with the common people, and the literati, officials, and landlords do not have to pay taxes. This is why the peasant uprising army later hated the vassal king Zhu Ming. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong liked to kill the vassal king the most. Having money and food can also calm the people's anger.

Water spirit, water person, water master, great water master, water spirit, water king, water emperor, water lord, water sage, water emperor, I would like to call you the water god😜

No matter how much Zhu Zhanji is beaten, old Zhu Di will not change his will, and the second and third sons are even more useless. We can only say that we should learn from history and let Zhu Zhanji train Zhu Qijue systematically.

There was a conspiracy theory that said that except for Hongwu and Yongle, the lives of the other emperors in the early Ming Dynasty were controlled by aristocratic families. Potential emperors and princes all died early in various accidents, from Chang Yuchun to his daughter to the eldest grandson.

Taking such a big risk across the Pacific Ocean, we only look for corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, not rubber. So what can we use to start the steam age? Can we use petroleum to make artificial rubber gaskets? Does the protagonist have that ability?

I like your update today, but I'm not satisfied with the speed of your update.

Gunpowder is just the stage of using technology. If you don't understand the basic principles, there is an upper limit to improvement. The foundation of science and technology is the comprehensive improvement of the entire civilization, including institutions. Although this will be difficult to handle for a while, I can explain it to them first. As for the throne, if you want to solve the problem, you cannot deny that there will be realistic laws of power struggle in the imperial power. In the final analysis, fools will appear if you do not occupy the position based on your own ability. I guess in the end the system from top to bottom will gradually become that ability is the criterion for evaluation. The throne will also become a competition for the top (of course, the surname is still Zhu, and it is still the family. There is no possibility of turning into a better system now, which does not meet the conditions of the means of production) The power struggle is inevitable, then recognize this and turn it into a controllable struggle, and give more trials and education to the outstanding people who have passed the pre-selection. Real gold is not afraid of fire, and the emperor must be responsible for the whole country, and cannot be so gentle.

It's still me, I still think it looks really good, that's all. Have you ever played Genshin Impact? Well, just because of a little bit of character.

The plot is interesting, but not too boring. You won't miss any important information at a glance. I can't stand it after reading more than 100 chapters.

I hope that the next dungeon dimension will not have the old, middle-aged and young emperors present together. It's really disgusting to look at. It's like a Russian matryoshka doll and makes me dizzy just looking at it.

I forgot where I saw it. I remember that the children Lao Zhu and Queen Ma were called father and mother directly, not father, queen and mother. I thought about it for a long time and didn't remember it.

I don't even bother to look at it. The Forbidden City was built only after Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing. It has no culture at all.

As far as this topic is concerned, I didn't expect the author to write like this. It's quite good. No matter who it is, from the emperor to the common people, when they have advantages and disadvantages, there is nothing they can do to improve them! This book allows people to clearly see the glory of the king of a country in front of others, but it is also accompanied by countless darkness. It is good that the protagonist can change history on his own and make up for the regrets in his heart. Unfortunately, it is not reality. Maybe it is happening in a parallel world, maybe? ! But I still have to say, no matter what, I don't want to live in the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties! I just want to live now, maybe not rich and happy, but at least I can listen to a great man say: The Chinese people have stood up since then!

Poor Xiaohe doesn't even have a role... Others took it... And deleted it

It's a lot of fun, but it's this broken sentence that makes people really uncomfortable 😅

Why are there so few comments? ?

Come on, author
