"The Greatest Achievement of the Ming Dynasty: Reshaping Chinese Civilization, Had It Not Been for Its Reshaping of the Han Regime, the Han People, the Greatest Ethnic Nation, Would Have Perished."
Before the restoration of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty, the Han nationality in the north and south lasted for more than 400 years, the ruling power of the Central Plains region was lost for more than 200 years, the control of the Youyan region was lost for more than 400 years, the control of the Hexi region was lost for more than 600 years, and the control of the Yunnan-Guizhou region was lost for more than 800 years. The Hu people bloomed everywhere in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Henan and Hebei, with a population of only 10 million in the north and more than one million in Shaanxi and Gansu. In the Fengxiang area of Shaanxi, the Han people have become scarce and almost none. Faced with this situation, the Ming Dynasty had to launch frequent large-scale military operations, with tens of thousands of soldiers dispatched in less than two years on average.
This level of madness is definitely the highest in history, and at that time it was even higher than any other power country on the planet! The war operations of the Ming Dynasty included 8 Northern Expeditions of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, 6 Northern Expeditions of Chengzu Zhu Di, 4 Northern Expeditions and 2 engagements of Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, and 4 Northern Expeditions of Yingzong Zhu Qiyu (this did not include the Battle of Tumubao, but included the Battle of Ejina-Tianshan, the Battle of Sotao Baita Monument, the Battle of Yikeresu and the Battle of Zhu Yong's Northern Expedition), and conquered the Luchuan Dynasty.
In addition, 6 large-scale wars were waged, 5 conquests of Cochin, 1 conquest of Laos, 1 conquest of Chiang Mai, and 7 expeditions to the West (including the Battle of Sri Lanka, which captured the king's entire family, and the Battle of Sumatra, which killed the usurping king). The Ming Dynasty also suppressed a major uprising in the southeast, fought two large-scale wars in the mountains of western Sichuan, and conducted a military operation against Liucheng in Turpan, covering northern Siberia, Sri Lanka and Sumatra in Antarctica, and the southwest across the Irrawaddy River to the Pateky Mountains.
Not only that, but the Ming Dynasty also carried out an incident of shelling Mugudu in the western Pole of the Red Sea to ask for tribute.
From the Qin Dynasty laying the foundation of the nation, to the Han Dynasty promoting national reform, to the Tang Dynasty opening the era of national prosperity, the Ming Dynasty reintegrated this mud that had been eroded by the Hu people for hundreds of years, and integrated the blood of the Hu people into it, but in the end it was still the Han civilization. Therefore, the greatest achievement of the Ming Dynasty was to reshape Chinese civilization, and if it were not for the Ming Dynasty as a Han regime, the greatest ethnic group of the Han people might have died out further.
