Year 1644,Li Zicheng broke open the gate of BeijingEmperor Chongzhen saw that the general trend had gone, and hanged himself in the coal mountain. Since thenThe fall of the Ming Dynasty,Soon after, the Qing troops entered the customs, and the world changed dynasties. The Ming Dynasty, as the last dynasty established by the Han nationality during the ancient Chinese feudal period, was somewhat different from the Qing Dynasty established by ethnic minorities in terms of policy.

For example:In terms of treating the prince of Zong,The Ming Dynasty did not allow the prince to enter Beijing, while the Qing Dynasty did not allow the prince to leave BeijingWhich of these two policies is more clever?

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it has been implemented"Divide the feudal system".An important principle that the princes need to abide by is:"You can't enter the court unless there is an edict." The Ming Dynasty did not allow the princes to enter Beijing at will, intendedHelp the imperial court shield foreign enemies.

After Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he handed over all the territory of the Quartet to his sons except for the crown prince Zhu Biao. Probably in Zhu Yuanzhang's considerations,The world is controlled by one's own family, which is far safer than leaving it to someone else to manage. During the reign of China's feudal dynasties, there were numerous cases where the entire country was in danger because of the power of the vassal kings.

For example, the Tang Dynasty,In the Tang Dynasty, there was a serious situation of feudal separatism. In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was able to suppress the power of the feudal town, but as time went by, the power of the feudal town became larger and larger, which led to the power of the emperor and ** being controlled.

The more famous feudal town turmoil was the "Anshi Rebellion", which lasted for several years and had a very serious and bad impact on the Tang Dynasty. And the "Anshi Rebellion" itself was also an important event in the Tang Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline. It was precisely because of the fear that something similar would happen that the Ming Dynasty decided to make its sons vassal kings.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang set his sons as vassal kings, which is even moreIn order to avoid a comeback of the Northern Yuan **,So he put a few sons who were good at dancing knives and guns on the northern border. Because he is guarding his "own foundation", there is no need for Zhu Yuanzhang to say that his sons will work hard to guard the border.

StillThere are also disadvantages to making his son a vassal kingIf there is a vassal brother who is not satisfied with the crown prince, or does not satisfy the emperor, thenIt is very likely to cause the tragedy of fratricide and blood strife.

The most typical example of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the "Battle of Jingjing". The Battle of Jingyan was a series of armed struggles launched by Zhu Di who was dissatisfied with Emperor Jianwen's policy of cutting feudal domains.

After the end of the Battle of Jingjing,Zhu Di ascended the throne as emperorIn order to prevent other vassal kings from following his example and launching campaigns to seize power, Zhu Di began to use itTough means to weaken the power of the vassal king,Not only that, Zhu Di alsoforced the vassal kings of various places to "not enter the court unless there is an edict".

This led to the fact that although the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty had no worries about food and clothing in the fiefdom, they had little power and did not have enough freedom, just like birds in captivity. WhileIf a vassal king dares to make a change without an edict, he will be directly imprisoned by the emperor and convicted according to law.

Later over time,The vassal king of the Ming Dynasty no longer thinks about ** love, but starts"Sit and eat the mountain empty",In order to support the children of these clans, the state needs to spend a lot of money and resources, and over timeof the Ming DynastyEconomic problems are becoming more and more obviousThis led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty stepped onto the stage of history, perhaps because he saw itThe shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty's "feudal feudal system".Qing DynastyCreatively proposed"Knighthood and solidification of the Beijing system". An important requirement of this policy for the prince is"You are not allowed to leave Beijing without a holy order."

The Qing Dynasty did not allow the prince to go out of Beijing at will, yesForBetter control over the princes. It should be emphasized here that the Qing Dynasty had a very strict system of succession to titles. Among the relevant inheritance systems, there is one that is:"One generation descends to one level, until there is no way to descend",There is another kind of:"Hereditary replacement".

When the title is lower than that of "General Bongun", the clan becomes an "idle clan", and they can basically only get itThe treatment of the four rank officials,This is to a large extentReduced the cost of supporting relatives.

It should be emphasized here that the princes of the Qing Dynasty were allowed to participate in national affairs and lead troops to war, but because they did not have fiefdoms, and the power they held only needed a word from the emperor to be withdrawn, which greatly reduced the probability of the princes rebelling.

Not only that, but it has also become much easier for the emperors to cut the feudal domainDuring the Qing Dynasty, the emperors of previous dynasties repeatedly narrowed the scope of knighthoods and reduced the number of knightsAs a result, the resource occupancy rate of the Qing Dynasty became smaller.

Due toThe prince is not allowed to leave Beijing without authorizationAlsoThey were not allowed to make friends with courtiers in privateAll kinds of strict systems made it impossible for the princes to commit rebellion in the Qing Dynasty. ButThis policy also has its own disadvantagesIt willAs a result, the strength of the royal family is getting worse and worseAfter several generations of succession, many royal clansmen have actually become idle clans.

They don't have enough say in national politics, and they don't need to worry about the country and the peopleSlowly they are corrupted by the ease of lifeFor example, the children of the Eight Banners, they went through the baptism of war at the beginning and had amazing combat effectiveness, but later after the society of the Qing Dynasty gradually stabilized, the children of the Eight Banners no longer needed to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and worked hard to establish meritorious deeds.

As a result, the overall strength of the Eight Banners disciples is getting weaker and weaker. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in the face of the strong ships and cannons of the Western invaders, the children of the Eight Banners could be described as "vulnerable".

Even if the late Qing Dynasty tried to introduce equipment and form a new division army, it failed to make the children of the Eight Banners stronger.

This situation actually caused certain economic problems for the Qing Dynasty, becauseMany idle clans are completely Buddhist, and they only care about enjoying the country without regard for itBut ** had to keep these idle clans in accordance with the regulations, and waited for the Qing Dynasty's financial problemsThe economy of the Qing Dynasty also had big problems because of the moths of the clan.

It is clear that the policy of the two dynasties of the Ming and Qing dynasties towards the princes and clansmenAll have advantages and disadvantages. As forWhich policy is smarter,comparativelyThe Qing Dynasty's "feudal system" was more sophisticated. Because the Qing Dynasty's knighthood was solid, it was circumventedThe royal family rebelled, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and the eunuchs interfered in politicsIssue.

Since the princes are under the control of the emperor of the capital,Even if there is a rebellion, the scale will not be too large. Coupled with all kinds of strict clan management systems, the princes cannot expand their sphere of influence openly, to a large extentThe unity of centralization is guaranteed.

Not only that, due toThe Qing Dynasty allowed clan relatives to participate in national politics and lead troops to fightThis leads to:The Qing Dynasty will appear from time to timeA capable and faithful clan.

They have their own political talents, and when there is a problem in the Qing Dynasty, these clan relatives will come forward, and they are the "good medicine" for the Qing Dynasty to continue its life. From a development perspective,The Qing Dynasty did not let the prince leave BeijingIt is of obvious benefit to the development of the entire dynasty.
