The Reform of Ming Dynasty and ZTE

Ming Dynasty Reform and ZTE

The first to appear is the twelfth emperor of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Longqing , Ming Muzong span 10hspan [Zhu Zaiyuan 15] (Year-1572)

He could have been a Taiping prince with peace of mind, but the early death of his two brothers caused him to come to the opportunities and tasks given to him by history, plus his son Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun_ span11span loved by the deep Emperor Jiajing. Therefore, the pattern of three generations of ancestors and grandchildren formed in the later period of Jiajing . It is also destined to become a stable transition.

A gathering of famous officials and generals of the Longqing dynasty, land and Mongolia reached a peace agreement, historically called I gave tribute to ; open civil trade on the sea, historically called Longqing switch; because of these two measures, Ming North Korea once again reappeared ZTE's weather, known in history as and Longqing New Deal .

The internal and external troubles before he became the throne made him care about the political affairs and had a greater impact on his handling of government affairs after he became the throne. Relying on Gaogong , Chen Yiqin , Zhang Juzheng and other ministers, the implementation of the policy of reforming the evils and implementing new policies has achieved great governance at home and abroad, which is known as the Longqing New Deal in history. But because of indulging in love potions, I also take these love potions to add to the fun, leading to a waste of political affairs. Zhu Zaiyi reigned for 6 years and died of illness at the age of 36. Temple name Mu Zong, posthumous name Qi Tianlong Dao Yuan Yi Kuan Ren Xian Wen Guang Wu Chunde Emperor Hong Xiaozhuang

After a short life,Emperor Wanli started a long and boring life. Of course, he was also the longest emperor in the Ming Dynasty. He reigned for 48 years. In the first ten years of Wanli, because he was still a child, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, had room for him to display his ambitions. , His political ideals and strategy of governing the country had a platform to show, which opened the Ming Dynasty Zhu Ming’s reform of Zhang Juzheng, and the implementation of a whip method . Once the Ming Dynasty returned to its former glory, Wanli Zhongxing seemed to rejuvenate the empire.

Zhang Juzheng served in the administration for ten years and carried out reforms. In terms of internal affairs, he implemented test law , abolished redundant officials in government agencies, and rectified postal and administrative affairs. Economically, the country’s land was cleaned up, powerful landlords were suppressed, the tax and labor system was reformed, and a whip method was implemented to reduce the burden on peasants. In the military, the armed forces have been strengthened to rectify the riots in the southwest, and the famous anti-Japanese generals Qi Jiguang governors Ji, Chang, and Bao are trained to guard the Great Wall and keep the border safe. Zhang Juzheng also used Pan Jixun to treat the Yellow River, turning floods into water conservancy. At the same time, Zhang Juzheng severely punished corrupt officials and laid off redundant staff.

Of course, reformers are always arrogantly greedy for power, which led to the emperor Shenzong's grievances towards him when he was an adult. Of course, aside from the summary, Zhang Ju is still great in ruling the country and managing the country. Of course, Zhang Juzheng's private life was still chaotic and luxurious. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, the economy was highly developed, and arrogance was the norm in that era. In the end, he also died of indulgence.

Huang Renyu affirmed Zhang Juzheng in the " fifteenth year of Wanli ", but still said that he was "overconfident, unable to be modest and cautious, and refused to make necessary concessions to the facts".

" History of Ming Dynasty " praised Zhang Juzheng's reign as "Yin Fu at home, and Ji Gang's method will not fail to cultivate Ming. The merits are in the community, the long-term conclusion, the people's recollection".

Zhang Juzheng put forward the economic point of view of "thick agriculture and capital business" and "thick business and benefit agriculture". The negotiation tax sent by him and the Ministry of Industry led Zhou Hanpu to discuss the reasons for "the original negotiation and the slightly different afterwards".To further clarify the truth and speak freely: "In ancient times, if the country is a country, the business is based on the existence of agriculture. Therefore, the commercial and agricultural trends are always weighed. However, as for illness, there is no help. This economic policy has to be said to grasp the root of social contradictions, so as to solve the main social contradictions and stabilize the normal operation of the country.

Mr. Huang Renyu’s "Wanli Fifteen Years" is about this period. It is true that the fifteen years before the Wanli Mid-Ming Dynasty really represents the best interpretation of the feudal dynasty's political struggle.

Zhang Juzheng's death Later, after the mid-Wanli period, ZTE seemed to end, and quickly went downhill.

After Zhu Yijun took office, he presided over the famous " Wanli Three Great Signs". Although he won victory, it consumed the savings accumulated by Zhang Juzheng’s reforms. The treasury.

Although he did not go to the court after the mid-Wanli period, there was no eunuch chaos after he did not go to the court, and there was no relatives in politics. He responded to the Japanese attack on North Korea, the Jurchen invasion, and the attack , saying that although he ignored general government affairs, he still cared about national affairs and controlled the court in a certain way.

The Wanli emperor is said to be an opium lover. During this period, opium was already popular in the upper class of the empire.

In the late Wanli emperor, the progress was slowing down, and there were disputes about the state and party, and then the smashing case of one of the three major cases of at the end of the Ming also occurred. During this period... the Donglin Party, the Xuan Party, the Kun Party, the Qi Party, and the Zhejiang Party have many names. As Liang Qichao said, the party fight at the end of the Ming Dynasty was like a fight between two groups of Mr. Dong Heng and the Ming Dynasty died. , We pulled them down together. Such evil results may not have been caused by Zhu Yijun’s slack.

Then the famous military battle of Saarhu ,Lead to the rise of after the gold . Therefore, the history books said that the death of Ming Dynasty in Wanli came in this way. The external threat of Houjin was planted, and the internal disputes caused by personal preferences, and then formed a situation of party disputes in the late Ming Dynasty. Eventually kicked off the decline of the empire.

In the next article, we will talk about the last part of the Ming Dynasty, the decline of the empire, also called Xishan Sunset.

Thank you all.
