This Ming Dynasty Is so Fierce!

The protagonist is bound to Zhu Qiyu and has to stop the coup. However, with the ideal of revitalizing China, he pins his hopes on an emperor, especially an emperor who is not so wise. It is really a waste of time. It is not that readers like to read cool articles about claiming kingship and hegemony. In fact, Chinese dynasties have their own mature operating rules. If these rules are not broken, the upper limit of the dynasty is only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how hard we try, it will be useless. Throughout the dynasties, from the emperor to the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, there was no one who was not wary and eager to open up new territories and leave a name in history. However, if they couldn't do it, they couldn't do it. Except for the weak Song Dynasty, which pretended to be a unified dynasty, every dynasty in China occupied all the land suitable for cultivation. No matter how much land was left, it would not generate benefits except paying the cost of occupation. The Western Regions were opened up by the Han and Tang dynasties, and the wealth of the Silk Road was there. By the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the Western Regions were no longer a land of lush water and grass. The land Silk Road was also replaced by the Maritime Silk Road. Continuing to operate the Western Regions was no longer worth the gain. The Ming Dynasty gave up on Vietnam because it continued to maintain its rule, spending too much and earning too little. The same is true for the Xuanwei Department of Old Port. The backward national system cannot generate profits from stationing troops overseas. The powerful bureaucratic group not only cannot promote the expansion of overseas interests, but will take the initiative to eliminate those giant maritime merchants. It can be said that if the old system of the emperor and the bureaucratic group is not eliminated, the emperor personally participates like Zhu Di, or the government and businessmen collude like Wang Zhi, Li Dan, Zheng Zhilong, etc., They will inevitably be involved in bureaucratic strife and defeat in the end. So, for the protagonist to rely on the emperor to make top-down improvements, this path simply won't work. Spain and Portugal took the navigation route, and the interests of navigation would only strengthen the feudal royal power first, leaving the capital group with no way out. The feudal royal power of Britain and France could not defeat Portugal and Spain, so they could only condone private forces to seize maritime interests. This move contributed to the growth of private forces, so that the power of capital rose, challenged the feudal royal power, executed kings one after another, and established a new national system that was conducive to the development of capital. So, if you want the Ming Dynasty to enter a new era, it is useless to rely on emperors and bureaucrats. If you don't support a new class to replace the backward old class, how can there be new development under the rule of the old class? Zhu Di's great voyage could not make the Ming Dynasty become the sun never sets, and the great voyages of Portugal and Spain could not bring about the arrival of the industrial age. There is no foundation for the birth of new production relations, and no soil for the birth of new class forces. Even if there are great voyages and global colonization, what will ultimately be strengthened is only the power of Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty and the King of Portugal and Spain, making the ruling class even more decadent.

There is something wrong with the introduction. The Tumu Fort Incident was only 25 years after Zhu Di's death. This is less than a century, which is too much.

The Ming Dynasty kept China from having any major troubles for more than 200 years. Do you call this decline?

The protagonist doesn't look like someone who traveled through time 😅

There are no details in writing, and the villain is starting to be brainless, so it's okay to just read it.
