The Conquest of the Ming

Personally, I feel that the author's plot when describing the war scenes is too simple and not realistic and intense enough. The composition of the army is also somewhat rough. I suggest the author to read the two masterpieces of the Ming Dynasty, "Back to the Ming Dynasty and Become a Thousand Households" and "A Small Soldier in the Frontier Army at the End of the Ming Dynasty" written by Lao Bainiu. I personally think that all works of the same type cannot surpass these two books. It contains a very complete description of the composition of the Ming Dynasty's army. Moreover, the military organization and related administrative and economic structures established by the protagonists in these two articles are also very consistent with that era. In particular, the military establishment model heavily refers to the military training model of the famous Ming Dynasty general Qi Jiguang, so that the army of the protagonist in the book will not deviate from that time. There are too many eras and it seems too alternative. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the protagonist's army is the best in the world at that time. Whether it is against the early Mongolian army and the Japanese army that invaded Korea, or when encountering the Eight Banners Army and the separatist warlords in the pass in the later period, they have the strength to crush them. I hope the author can learn useful experience from these two masterpieces, especially the clear explanation of the military structure of the Qi family. In order to present readers with a wonderful war art in the late Ming Dynasty.

The finance of the Ming Dynasty was mainly based on agricultural taxes before Wanli. Emperor Wanli knew that if he continued to collect meager agricultural taxes, not only would the treasury be insufficient, but the farmers would also be intolerable. Wanli still found ways to collect taxes from Jiangnan's capitalists. Since the Ministry of Household Affairs, which manages the external treasury, does not accept industrial and commercial taxes and only collects agricultural taxes, Wanli transferred the industrial and commercial taxes to the inner treasury. This is the so-called Wanli greed for money. In fact, the money used for Wanli's three major levies was industrial and commercial taxes from the inner treasury. Through the wonderful performance of the three cases of imperial attack on Hongwan and transfer to the palace, the Donglin Party finally took control of the government for the first time after Wanli's death. They immediately forced Taichang to abolish various industrial and commercial taxes. The role of the Donglin Party as the spokesperson of the capitalists was fully exposed. At that time, the development of various regions in China was uneven. Jiangnan's industry and commerce are developed, and there is almost no tax. Farmers in the northern provinces find it difficult to bear the high taxes, and even more so when natural disasters occur. The war in Liaodong was tense and the treasury was empty. What to do! ? It was against this background that Wei Zhongxian appeared. How to do it, of course, is to ask Donglin Party members to pay taxes. After a few years, the national treasury began to become full again. Shrines to Wei Zhongxian began to appear in various places. How can the Donglin Party sit still! Apocalypse's death is a good opportunity. Chongzhen sided with the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party wanted to kill Wei Zhongxian, but Chongzhen only relieved him of his duties and ordered him to guard the mausoleum. Later, Wei Zhongxian was sentenced to death, and Chongzhen buried him generously before his death. The Donglin Party is in power again. Of course, abolishing industrial and commercial taxes is the first step. As for Liaodong, how can we spend less money to do it. The shortage of wages in Liaodong is getting worse. Coupled with the layers of exploitation by officers at all levels, the soldiers got very little, and their morale was extremely low. The generals of the Ming army wrote memorials every day asking for money, but Emperor Chongzhen was at a loss. The Donglin Party accused Liaodong officers of improper command, ineffective combat, and embezzlement of military pay. Reducing expenditures often results in moral preaching; how can we not increase revenue! Of course, the Donglin Party will not increase industrial and commercial taxes, and the burden will naturally fall on farmers. Finally, the poorest farmers in the northwest revolted. He also captured Beijing and Chongzhen committed suicide. Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass, and the tragedy began.

The Ming Dynasty was rotten to the core from top to bottom, and the only way to go was to overthrow it and rebuild it.

The writing is very good. I hope the author will work steadily and finish it. Don't be a eunuch 😊

I can't stand watching the protagonist after looking at the identity of the protagonist at the beginning. Really, garbage will never have the sentiment to save the world and save the country. He will only lie on other people's bodies and suck blood. Even if he has the power in the world, he is just another Ma Bufang.

If the world is righteous, no matter which dynasty it is, the world will be righteous. Mingfen is also invincible, I always talk about this

This month's four votes are all given to the author. If you don't get good grades, you should write more carefully. Build popularity for the next book.

The author is really particular about the quality of his novels, but it is a pity that not only this book, but also the history genre, is no longer available. It is really a pity.

When I wrote about Li Zicheng, it was a bit ridiculous. Everyone who started with you went to work for Li Zicheng. He was just a refugee leader. I was really speechless.

Is it necessary to explain so much? One word was not explained for ½ chapter
