The Ming Dynasty recovered Vietnam, but why did it abandon it completely?

Because Vietnam was very barren at that time, and the local people rebelled from time to time, the Ming Dynasty thought that the gains outweighed the losses, so they gave up.

Because Vietnam at that time was too far from the center of the Ming Dynasty to be difficult to control, and Vietnam was also very backward.

Because at that time, the Ming Dynasty felt that this place was not worth using, so it gave up.

In the history of northern Vietnam, there was the so-called Northern Shu period, that is, the Jiaozhou period. After that, part of Vietnam's territory came under Chinese control, but the Ming Dynasty voluntarily gave up it after 20 years of rule in Vietnam. And the reason why the Ming Dynasty gave up is also very simple, because Vietnam's ethnicity, customs and other aspects are too different from the Central Plains, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, which is difficult to control.

And the territory of the Ming Dynasty is also relatively vast, not inferior to Vietnam, in order to make power more centralized, so the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to give up the rule of Vietnam.

Why did Vietnam come under the rule of the Ming Dynasty?

First of all, it is strange for many netizens that Vietnam will belong to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so we must introduce this first. As early as the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Jiaozhou in Vietnam, which was one of the 13 states of the Han Dynasty. Jiaozhou has a total of 9, of which part of the territory of Vietnam belongs to Jiaozhou.

However, in the 12th year of the Southern Han Dynasty, Wu Quan, the assassin of Jiaozhou, declared independence, and Vietnam entered the era of independence. However, part of the territory of Vietnam was still under the control of China, so until the Ming Dynasty, Vietnam was also part of Chinese territory.

Why did the Ming Dynasty voluntarily give up its rule over Vietnam?

Many countries wanted as much territory as possible, but the Ming Dynasty voluntarily renounced its rule over Vietnam. In fact, the reason why the Ming Dynasty gave up was relatively simple, because Vietnam was relatively far away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty and was not very easy to manage. Coupled with some cultural and customary reasons, the Ming Dynasty voluntarily gave up its rule over Vietnam.

After all, Vietnam is also an independent nation, and they will learn to resist when they mature, so they don't want to belong to the Ming Dynasty and want to gain the right to independence. After awakening, any nation wants to be independent and self-governing, so that the development of the nation can get better and better, instead of always being under the control of others.

Summary. In fact, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was also relatively vast, so it didn't care much about Vietnam. In the local territory of the Ming Dynasty, people can survive well, so they don't particularly care about the land of Vietnam.

Because the geographical location here is very unique, very far away from the Central Plains, it is not easy for the emperor to manage, it is easy to produce some wars, and the cost of management is also very large, so it will be over.

Because the Vietnamese are really too difficult to rule, there are so many small races in Vietnam that they can't be unified at all, and they bother and work hard.

Because at that time, the Ming Dynasty was gradually corrupted, and the power was not so great, and the army was not so strong.

I think it's probably because Vietnam is so difficult to rule, and Vietnam has a lot of ethnic groups, which is very difficult to manage.

Mainly because the money invested is too much, and the economy of this place is not said to be driven in a day or two, and in the end, the Ming Dynasty was also afraid of dragging down its own country, so it gave up its rule over Vietnam.

Because the terrain of this part of Vietnam is more complicated, and it is far from the political center, there are many local gangs in Vietnam that do not obey discipline, so they finally gave up.

It was because of the Vietnam Incident at that time, coupled with the relatively poor environment of this place and the particularly backward economic development situation, so there was a lack of economy in the Ming Dynasty, and there were often conflicts between the two places.

Because there were a lot of wars in this place, and the control here was not very stable, so it was abandoned.

Because the Tang Dynasty felt that there was no need to start a war, and after starting a war, it would not necessarily have a good result, and it might have a more serious impact.

This is because after the Tang Dynasty, Vietnam formed an independent national concept, which made it more difficult to recover, and the Vietnamese people were unwilling to submit.

Because in the dynasties after the Tang Dynasty, there was no time to take care of this part of Vietnam, which had already established itself as a king.

1. China's occupation system is not suitable for colonialism.

It's not like China hasn't tried. In Vietnam, after the Chinese occupation, it spent 3 million taels of military expenditure and 70,000 taels of income every year**. The gains outweigh the losses, and they can't last long.

2. Temperature. Whether the Chinese can conquer a place depends mainly on how many Han people can be there. The reason why the Northeast became a Chinese territory in the Ming Dynasty was due to cotton and cotton cloth.

The Han Chinese were able to survive the cold winter before they could occupy a territory in its entirety. One of the main reasons why Vietnam was not occupied was that it was too hot.

3. Terrain. For the Mongolian plateau, the terrain is too peaceful for the opponent (ethnic minorities) to maneuver, but Vietnam is too complex for its own maneuver. The Truong Son Mountains divide Vietnam into two parts: mountains and plains, with mountains in the west and plains in the east.

For the Vietnamese nation, if there is no food, go to the east to rob, and after the robbery, go to the mountains to hide, which will inevitably make it impossible for the Han immigrants to survive locally, so that no matter how strong the Qing Dynasty is, it will not be able to completely wipe out the local people.

In this narrow strip, the local indigenous people could easily attack from the mountainous areas in the west, and the lack of sufficient strategic depth in the east-west direction made it difficult for the Huaxia to gain a long-term foothold in the area. In addition, the plains and hilly areas in the south are also concentrated in agriculture and can provide sufficient material security for the indigenous population, which is similar to the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

4. Time. In fact, if the Yuan Dynasty is also counted as the Chinese Zhengshuo in the classical period, then the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was officially incorporated into the core area of China at that time, that is, 800 years ago. However, it took 800 years to truly digest the entire Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains, that is, it was not basically completed until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The core of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement in the late Qing Dynasty was the Hakka people in Guangxi, and the contradictions between the Hakka and the Tujia people were still quite fierce in that era. It can be seen that the assimilation of the indigenous people by the Han subjects has run through Chinese history.

5. Population pressure.

In the historical dynasties before the Qing Dynasty, the population was 80 million, not more than 100 million. Those lands in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are sufficient. In the late Qing Dynasty, when the population grew to 400 million (due to high-yield crops), the areas originally defined as strategic buffer zones (northeast, northwest, and Indochina Peninsula) had to be turned into core survival areas.

It is against this background that the recovery of Xinjiang and the transformation of the southwest and the opening up of the northeast have become imperative. The Northeast region is a case in point. The fundamental reason for the success of the land reform in the southwest region is that there is enough population to infiltrate.

If the Han Chinese population remains in the tens of millions, it is likely that another losing tug-of-war will be staged in these areas.

Although Yunnan was basically not under the control of the Central Plains in historyBut during the Yuan Dynasty, Yunnan was already included in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, and the number of local Han people was also increasing, and the Central Plains region is also a lot of contact, so the Ming Dynasty to include Yunnan, it is also very easy, but the nature of Vietnam is different, Vietnam is controlled by the Central Plains is a very early thing, after five dynasties and ten countries, Vietnam became independent, the time of independence is actually not short, the locals have been accustomed to becoming an independent country, at this time also want to take back Vietnam, it is not an easy thing.

When it comes to the province of Yunnan, everyone knows thatYunnan is located in the southwest border of China, and also borders several Southeast Asian countries, such as Myanmar, Vietnam, and LaosAmong these neighbors, there are also many countries that have been deeply influenced by China, for example, Vietnam for a period of time, the northern territories are controlled by our dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan was completely included in our territory, but Vietnam was given up by the Ming DynastyThis practiceIt also makes some people wonder why they want to abandon Vietnam and hold Yunnan.

First of all, from the perspective of geographical location, it may be that Yunnan is not as closely connected with the Central Plains as in northern Vietnam, so Yunnan was basically separated from the Central Plains Dynasty controlled by the Central Plains Dynasty in ancient times, and there is not much interest hereAnd northern Vietnam has been under the control of the Central Plains since the Qin Dynasty, but because Vietnam is relatively far away from the Central Plains, it is not easy for you to assimilate themLater, Annan has been in rebellion, five dynasties and ten kingdomsVietnam really began to become independent, and by the Ming Dynasty, Vietnam had been independent for almost hundreds of years, and their common people had become accustomed to independenceAt this time, it may not be so easy to attack Vietnam again.

But Yunnan is different, although Yunnan has been independent for a long time in historyHowever, the Yuan Dynasty had already ruled Yunnan for a period of time, so the Ming Dynasty, as a successor dynasty, had every reason to inherit YunnanThe second reason is the efforts of the Yuan Dynasty, which made the Ming Dynasty control Yunnan relatively small, so the Yuan Dynasty still made a certain contribution. During the Yuan Dynasty, Yunnan was already very closely connected with the mainland, and there were many Han people in Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, so they were naturally willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to recover Yunnan, which had been independent for 700 years, and gave up Vietnam, which had been independent for a short time, was because the rule of Mu Wangfu contributed a lot. Vietnam was abandoned for a short period of independence because Vietnam was so strong in combat during this period that the Ming Dynasty could not rule.

Because Yunnan at that time was taken back by Mu Ying and Lan Yu together, Mu Ying felt that this place could be taken back at that time, because Yunnan did not have a particularly large force at that time, and it was easy to take it back, and Vietnam was not only a relatively small place, but also relatively strong in combat, so he chose to give up at that time.

Geographically, Yunnan and the Central Plains are not as closely connected as northern Vietnam (the Red River Plain), so ancient Yunnan was outside the Central Plains Dynasty for a long time, and in most cases, the Central Plains Dynasty was not very interested in this place, unless there were special circumstances (Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the southwest, Zhuge Liang conquered the south, etc.); Northern Vietnam, on the other hand, has been a direct territory of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Qin and Han dynasties.

Before the Mongol Empire destroyed Dali in Yunnan, the Han family controlled the area of present-day Kunming at most. So there is nothing to say about Yunnan. Yunnan was controlled by Mongolia and continued to be controlled by Ming, and there was no fault line between them. And Yunnan has no big forces to confront the ****.

On the other hand, the north of Yuebei, from the five dynasties of the Southern Han Dynasty after independence, has been an independent country for nearly 400 years to the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the local Li Dynasty agitation, and the Ming Dynasty because of the Ming Chengzu's military strength declined, the powerless Ming Dynasty had to give up.

It was because the rule of Mu Wangfu contributed a lot, and the Ming Dynasty in Vietnam could not rule.

Because Yunnan was very powerful in Mongolia at that time, it had to be defended.

Because Vietnam has geostrategy and great power infiltration.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, Yunnan was not really included in the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Because the Ming Dynasty's troops were limited and beyond the reach of the whip at that time, the Ming Dynasty did not keep Vietnam.

In fact, in terms of geographical relations, the connection between Yunnan and the Central Plains is not as close as that of northern Vietnam (the Red River Plain), so ancient Yunnan was outside the Central Plains Dynasty for a long time, and in most cases, the Central Plains Dynasty was not very interested in this place, unless there were special circumstances (Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the southwest, Zhuge Liang conquered the south, etc.); The northern part of Yuekuan, on the other hand, has been the direct territory of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Qin and Han dynasties.

It's just that because Annan is too far away, assimilation is not easy, and the whip is beyond reach, so it has always been a rebellion and disturbance, in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms of the troubled times, Annan defeated the Southern Han army to achieve independence, and it was almost 500 years by the time of the Ming Dynasty! The people of Annam have long been accustomed to becoming an independent country, and if the Ming Dynasty calls for Dandu to annex Annam, it will naturally be resisted.

is because his strength is relatively not allowed to protect at the same time, and he can only give up one to protect the other, which is equivalent to abandoning the car to protect the handsome.
