In the long course of history, the achievements of the Ming army have often become the focus of controversy. An article criticized the performance of the armies of the Song and Ming dynasties, arguing that the armies of the Ming dynasties were not as powerful as they were rumored. However, this view has been refuted by some readers, in particular the questioning of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. This article will analyze the performance of the Ming army in the historical context and analyze the factors involved.
The article pointed out that in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, the army led by Zhu Yuanzhang performed normally, and it can even be described as the world's first-class elite soldiers. However, with Zhu Yuanzhang's ascension to the throne, his policies underwent a fundamental change. Zhu Yuanzhang was the only emperor who was born in a poor peasant, and he hated the ** and the army that harmed the people. As a result, he took a series of measures to isolate the military from the people's livelihood and form an independent system.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of the world military system and self-sufficiency system ensured the combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, it also buried hidden dangers. The article points out that the devoting more than 70 percent of the army's troops to agriculture has led to the expansion of the army, which accounts for an extremely high proportion of the total population. This has resulted in a heavy burden on the economy, affecting social stability and people's lives. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the army has been weakened.
The article further analyzes the policy of "raising one million soldiers in Beijing" advocated by Zhu Yuanzhang. In practice, it is difficult to implement the policy of dividing 50 mu of land and exempting them from labor service, and many military households are simply unable to obtain enough land, and the problem of the army supporting itself has become prominent. Moreover, military households still have to undertake various errands, and in essence they do not enjoy the so-called preferential treatment.
The poverty of the Ming army was not hypochondriasis, but the policy pursued by Zhu Yuanzhang. The expansion of the armed forces and the disconnection between them and the people's livelihood have made it impossible for the armed forces to exert their true combat effectiveness in the face of foreign enemies. By analyzing various policies in the early Ming Dynasty, the article points out Zhu Yuanzhang's mistakes in the relationship between the army and the people's livelihood.
The article concludes that Zhu Yuanzhang's ideal is to establish an independent and efficient military system through the world military system and the policy of self-sufficiency. However, due to the practical difficulties of the policy, the economic burden caused by the expansion of the army, and the lack of actual rights and interests of military households, the Ming Dynasty army eventually fell into a situation of "poverty and disease". The combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty army must be viewed cautiously, rather than blindly exaggerating its performance.
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the performance of the Ming army in history, especially the impact of the policies of the Zhu Yuanzhang period on the army. In the article, the author made his point of view clear, arguing that the Ming Dynasty army was not "very good at fighting" as it was said, but faced many problems and dilemmas.
First of all, the article gives a detailed interpretation of the military policy during the Zhu Yuanzhang period. Through the implementation of the world military system and the self-sufficiency system, Zhu Yuanzhang tried to isolate the army from the people's livelihood, ensure combat effectiveness and reduce the disturbance to the people. However, this policy has encountered difficulties in practice, leading to a series of problems. The excessive expansion of the armed forces and the disproportionate proportion of the total population have resulted in a heavy burden on the economy and a threat to social stability.
Secondly, the article compares the performance of the Ming Dynasty army in foreign wars. Although the army performed relatively well in the early Ming Dynasty, due to various reasons, especially policy mistakes, the combat effectiveness of the army in the later period was weakened in the face of foreign enemies. The author points out that this difference in military performance is not the problem of individual troops, but more to blame for the policies of Zhu Yuanzhang and his period.
The article makes a profound analysis of Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of "supporting the army." Zhu Yuanzhang tried to motivate the army by dividing land and exempting them from labor, but this policy faced many problems in practice. Military households have not been able to fully enjoy the preferential treatment of the policy, and the disconnection between the military and the people's livelihood has become an important factor restricting the combat effectiveness of the army.
In the commentary, I think the author gives a pertinent insight into the problem of the poverty and disease of the Ming army. The expansion of the Ming Dynasty's army and its disconnection from the people's livelihood made it face a huge dilemma in the actual war. At the same time, the article is objective and fair in analyzing problems, not only pointing out some bright spots of the military in the early Ming Dynasty, but also digging deep into the flaws at the policy level. This multi-angle analysis helps readers to understand the real situation of the Ming army more comprehensively.
Overall, this review is a powerful response to the article, accurately captures the main thrust of the article, and helps readers think more deeply about the cause and effect behind history.
