If the Ming Dynasty hadn t fallen, what would it have been like after 1840?

I think it will develop into a capitalist country. Because capitalism is germinating, if it were by 1840, it will definitely become a capitalist country.

If the Ming Dynasty had not fallen, then it would have been difficult to confront the Western powers after industrialization, because the Western powers were in absolute superiority in terms of ** and so on.

The germination of capitalism in Jiangnan should be able to be further developed, but because Confucianism has always controlled the development of ideology and the Ming Dynasty's adherence to the policy of banning the sea, it is still difficult for the Ming Dynasty to seize the opportunity in the Age of Discovery.

But compared with the more decadent and cowardly Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty should be able to catch up with the development of the world faster in the mid-19th century, and even if the great powers attack, with the blood of the Ming Dynasty's royal family, it will be tough to the end and integrate into the new era as soon as possible.

There is no such possibility anymore.

will be eaten by the royal family surnamed Zhu.

The main reason is still the internal reason of the Ming Dynasty. The fall of the Ming Dynasty as a result of the economic collapse within the Ming Dynasty. The main reason why the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty was that the internal economy of the Ming Dynasty had deteriorated, and the economic system, political system, and various systems had collapsed.

The Jurchen tribe, located in the cold northeast region, the living conditions were extremely difficult, and the Ming Dynasty in the south was in good weather, even for a good living environment, the Qing Dynasty wanted to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

In 1644, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty fell.

But in the south, some small regimes were established. The Southern Ming regime lasted for more than a decade until it was finally eliminated by the Qing Dynasty. If you want to count the Zheng regime in Taiwan, it is 1683 AD.

<>1. The Ming Dynasty enjoyed the country for 276 years and died in 1644.

2. The Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) was the last unified dynasty established by the Han nationality in Chinese history, which lasted for 276 years after 12 generations and 16 emperors.

3. In 1368 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was proclaimed emperor in Nanjing at the request of Tianfu, and the country name was Daming. Because the emperor's surname is Zhu, he is also called Zhu Ming. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the capital was set in Yingtianfu, and the capital was moved to Shuntianfu in 1421, and Nanzhili was established in Yingtianfu.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, after the rule of Yanqing lead Hongwu, the prosperity of Yongle, the rule of Renxuan, etc., the national strength was strong and the politics were clear. In the middle of the period, the civil engineering changes from prosperity to decline, and then the prosperity of the country was revived by Hongzhi Zhongxing and Wanli Zhongxing, and the national strength declined due to political corruption and natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty, and the peasant uprising broke out at the end of the Ming Dynasty. In 1644, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen was martyred by hanging himself in the coal mountain.

The Ming Dynasty clan established the Southern Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and then the Qing Dynasty took advantage of the chaos to enter the customs and defeated the Dashun, Daxi, and Southern Ming regimes, and in 1662 the Yongli Emperor was killed, and the Southern Ming perished. In 1683, the Qing army captured Taiwan, and the Ming Zheng of Feng Ming Zhengshuo came to an end.

4. The territory of the Ming Dynasty included the Han Dynasty, and in the early Ming Dynasty, the northeast reached the Sea of Japan and the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and later shrunk into the Liao River Basin; north to the Gobi Desert, and then retreat to the Ming Great Wall; northwest to Hami, Xinjiang, and then retreated to Jiayuguan; It borders the Bay of Bengal in the southwest, and then turns back to about present-day Yunnan; And in the Qinghai-Tibet region has a guard station, Ming Chengzu also recovered Annam, the Ming Dynasty was extremely prosperous with a land area of about 10 million square kilometers.

5. In the Ming Dynasty, the handicraft industry and commodity economy flourished, commercial market towns and capitalism sprouted, and culture and art showed a trend of secularization. According to the Ming Shilu, the peak population was 71.85 million, but most scholars believe that the actual population was more than 100 million, and some scholars point out that the population of the late Ming Dynasty was close to 200 million.

6. The Ming Dynasty was a unified Central Plains dynasty that lasted for a long time after the Han and Tang dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, there were no relatives of the Han Dynasty, the town of the Tang Dynasty, and the old coins of the Song Dynasty, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died in Sheji. The official evaluation of the Qing Dynasty as "Zhilong Tang and Song" and "Yuanmai Han and Tang" were evaluated.

1. The root cause: the decay of the feudal system, the fundamental reason for the demise of any feudal dynasty is this, and other reasons are based on this reason, as for those corrupt systems, you can write a book.

2. The main reasons: 1 Chongzhen's subjective mistakes 2 The peasant rebel army was overwhelming 3 The continuous encroachment of the Manchu Qing in Northeast China.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty will perish sooner or later, and Chongzhen is also a martyr of the Ming Dynasty. The contradictions accumulated in the past dynasties came to a general outbreak in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

The first is the continuous natural disasters, the Xiaoice River period. The second is that the land is concentrated in the hands of people who do not have to pay taxes, and there is no money to fight disasters. The third is that Zhenzhen's wrist is too tender.

It is very accidental, it happens to have Wu Sangui, and it happens that Houjin is very strong, otherwise it can be maintained for many years, and there are too many accidental factors in history for a long time.

Party strife, civil unrest, land annexation, alien ambitions, and the inaction of the monarchs in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

The feudal system is destined for feudal dynasties to be unable to escape the cyclical law of history, from prosperity to extinction, every feudal dynasty is the same.

Corruption --- political corruption.

The natural economic system, which is closed to the country --- self-sufficient, does not meet the needs of social development.

The incompetence of the rulers, the morale of the Qing dynasty swelled day by day.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was lazy in government affairs, and the internal parties fought openly and secretly.

The main reason is that it is a natural and man-made disaster, and the system has become relatively rotten.

was attacked inside and outside, Li Zicheng inside, Huang Taiji outside, and finally couldn't hold on.

There were many reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and one of the most important reasons was the succession system of the Ming Dynasty. We all know why the Qing Dynasty was able to be strong in the early stage and rise rapidly to compete in the Central Plains, in addition to the four harmony within the ruling group, I think there is another important reason is the inheritance system. That is, in the early Qing Dynasty, it was a noble public system, and whichever prince had the ability would recommend him to lead everyone, but the Ming Dynasty was a long-term system, which caused that if a prince who did nothing to inherit, this would inevitably have a great impact on the development of a country.

The Ming Dynasty began from Wanli, the party struggle became more and more serious, and later the eunuch dictatorship reached its peak during the Apocalypse, although Chongzhen wanted to fundamentally change this situation, but he was stubborn, self-destructed the Great Wall, and destroyed Yuan Chonghuan, resulting in no one being able to resist the invasion of the Qing army, coupled with some natural disasters, taxes were increased, and the peasant army uprising burned all over the country, in this case of internal and external troubles, it eventually led to extinction.
