Branch Line of History: Ming Dynasty

A doctoral student in the Department of History died suddenly in front of his thesis, and when he opened his eyes again, he became a fourteen-year-old military boy in Tielingwei, Liaodong. I have been writing about "Chenghua Liting" for three years in my thesis, but now I have to fight with my life. There was no system in his hands, no golden fingers, only the fading memory of a doctoral student and a few crooked craft sketches on rough hemp paper. Starting from the snowy night at Fushun Pass, he crushed the Jurchen cavalry in three stages, improved the iron furnace and shocked the generals of the Nine Borders, and conquered Mongolia without bloodshed with the Shang Dynasty defense troops - step by step, he went from the bottom of the border defense to the core of the empire's power. The Jurchen tents in Jianzhou need to be plowed, the depth of the Mongolian steppe needs to be plowed, the old order in Central Asia needs to be plowed, the Ottoman eastward expansion needs to be plowed, and finally even the trade barriers in Europe need to be plowed. After the Liting Court, there is not emptiness, but the new order of the Ming Dynasty. Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen said: "The court I want to plow is not just the Jurchen tent in Jianzhou, but any force that threatens the order of the Ming Dynasty." "To plow the court, plow the court first, and then sweep the holes. The court is their living space, and the holes are their strategic depth. If you kill people but don't plow the court, new threats will grow from the same land." - Shen Chongyue
