Whether the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty ascended to the top The imperial throne is undecided, and the military aircraft of the Qing Dynasty is at its peak
Although the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty was strengthened, it did not reach its peak, and the Qing Yongzheng Dynasty, which set up the Military Aircraft Department, only reached the peak of imperial power under the illusion of the throne. As for civil power, it is a by-product of the power of Huangquan Road, the emperor of the late Ming Dynasty largely ignored the power of the imperial cabinet, and the cabinet with the expansion of imperial power, the review of the affairs of the six ministries of the state is actually just a fox and a fake tiger, and the emperor has no real power after authorizing the cabinet.
What's more, this kind of civil authority is not suitable for killing the Ming, the struggle between civil officials and eunuchs was a political issue in the late Ming Dynasty, one of the reasons for the fall of the country, but by no means the main reason, the struggle between them was actually the struggle between the emperor's support for the imperial power and the bureaucracy, and it continued until the demise of the Southern Ming. Secondly, not liking to enter the palace was a characteristic of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor did not enter the palace to deal with his own affairs, so he handed it over to the cabinet ministers. Thus, the power of the civil servants was in fact a manifestation of a high degree of concentration of imperial power. Where would the unprecedented power of civil officials come from without the unprecedented strengthening of imperial power?
The Ming Dynasty never went down in history as the pinnacle of imperial power. The pinnacle of imperial power in Chinese history was during the Qing Dynasty. After Kangxi set up the Military Aircraft Department, the Minister of Military Affairs could only"Kneel and be recorded", the civilian authorities could no longer threaten the imperial power, which had reached the peak of feudal society. The decline of imperial power does not mean the collapse of power, and many people are unable to control the country, such as the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wuzong and Guangxu, in Pu Yi's memoirs, they lived a very aggrieved life, and even did not have enough to eat when they were children. Among these emperors who lost power, many were controlled by the civil and military ** group, forming another kind of concentration of power. In other words, since the Sui and Tang dynasties, this bureaucracy, headed by the emperor, has been Chinese"Imperial power"。Since the emperor had no real power, this did not affect the gradual growth of the bureaucracy during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
On the issue of the sea ban, don't explain the dynasty, even the Qing Dynasty did not implement a complete sea ban, the closure of the country is more of an ideological prison, the root cause of this kind of thinking, I personally think that because of the bureaucratic corruption of Confucianism, the sea ban is actually nothing to shout, after all, most of the time is still banned, and a small part of the time will not be opened on a large scale. The textbook will not be detailed with you, but it is a whole. It just so happens that the problem behind it is not that the Qing Dynasty asked the Qing Dynasty to take the blame, but that the Qing Dynasty has begun to fall behind, but according to the original law of the development of China's feudal society, to continue, whether it is the Great Shun Dynasty or the Great Qing Dynasty, their outcome is the same.
The last years of the Ming Dynasty were the lowest status of military attachés. Talented people were not reused because they had no status, and were eventually despised by the literati. As a result of this vicious circle, people in the court thought that they knew more about actual combat than military attachés. Yu Qian is a very good boxer. Of course, Yu Qian still knew how to fight, and when the military attachés of the whole country played the role of boxers and bodyguards, the emperor became a puppet of the eunuchs. Think about this country, the three fires of the new dynasty, the situation of Taizu, Chengzu to Daming, and the remaining many years are all kinds of strange wonders.
The Ming Dynasty was the pinnacle of Chinese literature, both in terms of output and quality. In addition to the masterpieces, "Dream of the Red Chamber" was basically born in the Ming Dynasty, which was the real peak of Chinese culture and folk literature. The red dust aristocracy, the east and the west, means that people with real talent and real learning can only play the role of dead soldiers in the streets and alleys. Look at Wang Yangming's route, which is exactly the route where literati are concentrated. The reason why the people's power was strong at the end of the Ming Dynasty was because the emperor's personal majesty was not enough and his ability was not strong.
At the same time, the powers of the Imperial Council and the Six Ministries came directly from the Emperor, and the Emperor could revoke these powers at any time. This was an extension of imperial power, not the level of power that preceded the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of each dynasty, the interest groups are relatively weak and have relatively few resources, the imperial power can have more resources, and the ruling class can get more benefits. In the pre-dynastic period, prosperity and affluence had been formed, and the imperial power and the ruling class needed an intermediate stratum to maintain the entire administration, and this middle stratum was the ruling group, which also shaped its own interests and formed interest groups in the process of rule. The governance of the common people is carried out from the standpoint of the imperial power, and the imperial power is limited from the standpoint of the common people to stabilize the entire governance system, and at the same time promote the realization of their own interests.
The Ming Dynasty's civilian-bureaucratic group was out of control in the later period, in fact, the Ming Dynasty's interests were unfairly distributed, and it gradually came to the end of the operation, the ruling class was so large that it would not give up any interests, nor could it redistribute any interests, and the seriousness of the internal contradictions was enough to make the national strength no longer supportable, and any expansion of the scope of national interests could not resist the invasion of the state apparatus on the northern fishing and hunting peoples, nor could it allow the people to govern the people's livelihood, which eventually led to the collapse of the country.
Therefore, the strength of the civil official group is the result of the strengthening of the imperial power in the Ming Dynasty, because the imperial power needs the civil official group to maintain its rule, and the existence of the civil official group has a reason for existence. The weakening of the Qing civilian-bureaucratic clique was due to the emergence of a new ruling class in the Qing dynasty, but the civilian-bureaucratic clique continued to rule together.
