The Ming Dynasty was revealed by the blackening of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

1. Abolish the prime minister system, and the Ming Dynasty is the world

Some people say that the prime minister is equivalent to today's ** prime minister or prime minister, and it is reasonable for him to exist in feudal society for 2000 yearsThe abolition of the prime minister is equivalent to strengthening the imperial power of the world surnamed Zhu.

Personal opinion: Feudalism is feudalism after all, the establishment of any dynasty. It is impossible to have only one emperor, and the throne will be passed on to future generations to maintain the rule of the system. If the Ming Dynasty is the Zhu dynasty, then all the feudal dynasties will not become the world!The second question is whether it is necessary for the prime minister system to have a feudal dynasty?I think it depends on the situation, sometimes it's really unnecessary. Look at Lao Zhu first, the prince Zhu Biao was only 10 years old when the dynasty was founded, according to the standard of 14-year-old men in ancient times, the founding dynasty could only move the old system of the previous dynasty such as: Prime Minister, military registration. After more than 10 years, Zhu Biao has matured in learning about the government. If you were Lao Zhu at this time, would you choose the prime minister or the crown prince to take charge of the state affairs?I think the answer is clear!Lao Zhu's thinking of governing the country is to let the first prince replace the prime minister to exercise his ability to govern the country. Laying the foundation for the future enthronement of the emperor!Judging from the middle of Lao Zhu's reign, he is the emperor on the surface, but he is actually the emperor. He handed over the state affairs to the crown prince, and he was in charge of the overall situation in the background, educating and cultivating the princes and grandchildren. In fact, Zhu Di also learned from his father to do this!

It is not so much that Daming is the world of Zhu Ming's family, but that Daming is the world of the family and the country!Emperor Daming is not only the emperor of the Great Emperor, but also the head of the royal family surnamed Zhu!

2. The Ming Dynasty was mostly a faint monarch, and the Manchu emperors were more diligent and more Ming monarchs

Personal opinion: On the contrary, only 2 of the 16 emperors of the Ming Dynasty have never been princes. The Manchu Qing had only two princes. Let's pick a few princes who have been in office for a long time: Mingrenzong, Longqing, and Guangzong. Isn't that the superior the master of Zhongxing who has experience in governing politics?Look at the two princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who did not succeed in ascending the throne and were abolished!This reflects the personal quality and pattern of the Manchu Emperor, which is really incomparable with the Ming Emperor!and the Ming Emperor gave power to the crown prince to deal with national affairs to exercise his ability to govern, the Manchu Emperor was mostly greedy for power, look at Kangxi's vigilance against the prince and Qianlong's refusal to give power to Jiaqing because he was too emperor. So much so that Yongzheng began not to establish the emperor after the crown prince directly inherited the throne, and without the exercise of the prince, the ability of the Manchu emperor was indeed very mediocre!

3. Because there are many kings surnamed Zhu, the Zhu Ming Dynasty is all over the world

Personal opinion: Early, middle and late Ming Dynasty, 92 years each. Yingzong fell 4 years ago to the early stage, the last 4 years to the 30th year of Jiajing is the middle period, and the 30th year after Jiajing is the late stage. According to authoritative statistics: the total number of Zongfan at the end of Wuzong was more than 2,000, which was within the capacity of the imperial court. In other words, the king of the early and middle Ming Dynasty is no problem. In the 44th year of Jiajing, the number of the king of Fan skyrocketed to more than 28,000, and it was a little difficult for the court to raise the king of Fan!At the end of Wanli, it was exaggerated to more than 200,000, a direct financial crisis!We know that Jiajing, Wanli, the two grandsons and emperors have been in power for a long time, and most of them are absent from work and do not go to court, why is there no chaos in the world?In the first half of Jiajing, he really did it himself, because Prince Longqing was still young at that time. The second half of the prince is already **, according to the rules of the old Zhu family, he also gave the power to the prince to do it!Wanli learned from his grandfather Jiajing and the situation was similar. In fact, Mingguangzong only served as the emperor for one month and the crown prince for 40 years. Eating red pills is a Manchu Qing Dynasty splashing dirt, that is tired to death!If Wanli doesn't go to court, can Prince Guangzong not take charge of the government for his father?As for saying that the world is not chaotic, it is nonsense that the cabinet plays a role, and the cabinet is the emperor's secretary, and the power is not as great as that of the prime minister. If you don't go to court for 30 years, you will boil the cabinet to death!

Why did the king of Nabo have so many and rich flowing oil in Jiajing and Wanli?Regarding this, many people forget that Jiajing and Wanli are famous money-hungry emperors in history!At first, I also thought it was strange, this emperor is not rich all over the world, why should he let his close ministers and eunuchs go to the people to make money?What is the use of all this money that goes into the emperor's private small treasury: the answer is to raise a huge number of King Fan!Is it possible for the treasury to reward so many kings with the money of the treasury?It's definitely impossible, but the emperor privately paid out of his pocket to reward the king of Fan, and the ministers opposed it, is it useful?Therefore, Emperor Daming is not only the head of a country, but also the head of the royal family surnamed Zhu!

4. The Great Wall was repaired in the Ming Dynasty and the temple was repaired in the Qing Dynasty. The Manchu Qing Dynasty had a large territory and a stronger control over the frontier than the Ming Dynasty

Personal opinion: Let's talk about the Great Wall first, the Qing blowing Ming and the black people all say that the Great Wall is the national border of the Ming DynastyIs this really the case?In the early stage of the Ming Dynasty, the territory could not be explained as the national boundary of the Great Wall. In the middle and late periods, Mongolia was under the military attack of the Ming Dynasty: from the original Northern Yuan Dynasty, it was divided into a Tatar and Warat tribal alliance, and in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it evolved from a tribal alliance to various tribes that attacked each other. Can a tribe represent the national court?No, where did the border come from?That's a pastoral area that can move at any time!Looking at the Ming Dynasty again, the reason why the turtle shrank within the Great Wall is because the Ming Dynasty needs land cultivation to implement the cantonment system. As the Inner Mongolia no man's land north of the Great Wall at that time, it is difficult to say that this place belonged to the Ming or Mongolian tribes. Because the pastoral area of the Mongolian tribes is in the bitter cold land of Outer Mongolia, it is more accurate to say that Inner Mongolia belongs to the unmanned buffer zone of both sides.

The more specific role of the Great Wall for the Ming Dynasty was the military, cultural, and economic dividing line between farming and nomadic peoples rather than a national border!The national boundary of the Ming Dynasty is uncertain, and the territory is naturally uncertain!It's not as small as Kiyobuki and Akiguro say!

Looking at the Qing temple, it is actually a means of domination of Mongolia by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is similar to the cultural policy of weakening the people of the 13 provinces in the Han Dynasty, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a minority and is worried about the rebellion of other ethnic groups, which is also a means of control!

Then the Ming Dynasty has no control over the border Mongolia and other ethnic minorities?It's just that the means are not as vicious as those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they harm others and are not beneficial to themselves!Daming is more about grasping the strategic materials of people's livelihood needs and controlling them by economic means!Compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty to build temples and force Mongolian men to become monks, the cost is much lower The Ming rule has a cost input that takes into account!

The Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had different means of controlling the ethnic minorities in the border areas, so it is impossible to generalize who has stronger control!
