A brief introduction to the sea ban:
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a strict ban on going to sea**. In 1656, Shunzhi issued the "Prohibition of the Sea" Decree, merchants were not allowed to go to the sea to trade, coastal residents moved 50 miles inside, violators or crossed the border, regardless of the official or civilian, were beheaded, goods confiscated, and the prisoner's property was compensated to the informant.
In June of the twelfth year of Shunzhi (1655), the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Tuntai, asked the coastal provinces to establish a strict prohibition, "no sails are allowed to enter the sea", and violators were erected and re-enacted. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty issued an order prohibiting officials and people from going to sea without authorization, and if there is "selling prohibited goods to Fanguo, and sneaking into pirates (referring to Zheng Chenggong)", or building a big ship and selling it to Fanguo for profit, or renting a big ship to people who go to sea, and dividing the goods of Fanren, they will all be handed over to the Criminal Department for punishment. But there are still people who secretly communicate with clues, greedy for huge profits, and continue to communicate with the Zheng family. Emperor Shunzhi believed that this was caused by lax legislation, and in the thirteenth year, he issued a "sea ban order", strictly prohibiting merchant ships from going to sea without permission. Civil and military officials who fail to investigate or fail to pursue them shall be punished severely;If you can't protect your armor, you will die. Along the coast, where boats can be moored, everywhere is strictly guarded, no sails are allowed to enter, if there is a landing, the defense officer will be engaged in military law, supervise and discuss the crime.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty issued a ban on the sea:
The direct cause of Zhu Yuanzhang's forcible ban on the sea was the unrest in the coastal areas at that time. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the land of China was full of smoke, and the robbers from the Japanese slave country (today's book) took advantage of the fire to rob and ravaged the coastal areas of Shandong and Zhejiang. The remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, who were defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, fled to the sea, and also merged with the Japanese invaders, and the sea chaos continued unabated. Zhu Yuanzhang once took the initiative to send envoys to Japan to repair the relationship that had been severed during the Yuan Dynasty, and reopened the tribute ** of Japan's "Bolai" and China's "Houxiang", in order to quell the maritime chaos. didn't want to cause trouble, and there was a big case of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong's conspiracy to usurp power, from which it was found that the Japanese king secretly aided the traitorous ministers and wanted to take the life of Emperor Zhu. Hong Wuye was furious because of this, not only resolutely severing all relations with Japan, but also strictly implementing a maritime ban, and pirates and maritime merchants "grabbed their eyebrows and mustaches", thinking that this would put an end to maritime chaos. According to the record of "Ming Shilu", in the fourth year of Hongwu (1371), Zhu Yuanzhang officially issued the edict of banning the sea: "It is forbidden for people living in the sea to go to sea privately." Since then, an edict has been issued every two or three years, "prohibiting people from the coastal sea from having private contact with overseas countries", "prohibiting foreign exchanges", and "applying for a ban on overseas mutual markets". He also acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately dispatched important ministers around him to inspect the coast every time he issued an edict to investigate and deal with those who "did not follow orders and prohibitions". In this way, it is still difficult to avoid that some places "have policies at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom", and he simply included fishing in the sea as a prohibition.
Effects of the Sea Ban:
Positive impact: rampant maritime smuggling and piracy have been combated and restricted to a certain extent.
It has played a positive role in the stability of the coastal areas. It played a certain role in self-defense against the aggressive activities of Western colonialists.
What is mycoplasma pneumonia Negative effects:
The country was founded on agriculture and had no nautical power. In order to strengthen the control of the population, private people were strictly forbidden to go to sea, and the peasants were tied to the land in order to maintain the apparent stability of society. In fact, most of the Japanese were unemployed people along the coast, who had lost their livelihood due to the ban on the sea, and had no choice but to do so, so the more they suppressed, the more they forbade the sea, and they fell into a vicious circle.
