The Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) was the last unified Central Plains dynasty established by the Han in Chinese history, with a total of 12 generations, 16 emperors, and 276 years.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Uprising broke out, and Zhu Yuanzhang joined Guo Zixing's team. In 1364, Zhu Yuanzhang was called King of Wu and established Western Wu. In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang was called the emperor, and the country name was Daming, because the royal family surname Zhu, also known as Zhu Ming, the capital was set in Yingtianfu; In 1420, Zhu Di moved the capital to Shuntianfu, with Yingtianfu as the accompanying capital.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, after the rule of Hongwu, the prosperity of Yongle, the rule of Renxuan, etc., the politics were clear and the national strength was strong. In the middle of the civil engineering changes from prosperity to decline, after the Hongzhi Zhongxing, Jiajing Zhongxing, Wanli Zhongxing revival of the national momentum, the late Ming Dynasty due to the Donglin party struggle and natural disasters caused by the decline of national strength, the outbreak of the late Ming Dynasty peasant uprising. In 1644, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself.

The Ming Dynasty 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; In 1662, Emperor Yongli was killed, and the Southern Ming Dynasty perished. In 1683, the Qing army captured Taiwan, and the Ming Zheng of Feng Ming Zhengshuo came to an end.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty included the Han Dynasty, reaching the Sea of Japan in the northeast and the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and then 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, but also recovered Annam, the Ming Dynasty was extremely prosperous with a land area of about 10 million square kilometers.

The Ming Dynasty was the first period 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.

Just look at how ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang is I just interjected, and I don't necessarily have to be rewarded Haha.

In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of military affairs, it was still quite powerful, in fact, in ancient times, everyone's equipment could not pull up the big gap, and the war basically relied on the generals who led the troops, and the famous generals in the first 80 years of the Ming Dynasty came out in succession, until the Ming army was defeated by the change of the civil fort, and the Ming army of 300,000 died, and almost all the generals of the empire, such as Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng's son when Jing was martyred, these two people are the Beidou of Mount Tai of the Ming Dynasty, and the army can be rebuilt, but in ancient times, the generals were generally brought down by Lao Tzu and the children from generation to generation. The change of Tumubao almost killed the Ming Dynasty. It wasn't until the Wanli period that the Ming Dynasty came out of Qi Jiguang, and Li Chengliang and other old fritters went up again, but they didn't seize the opportunity to finally raise tigers.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Di is a tribute to all countries, although the emperors behind are not very powerful, but the national strength is enough to rank among the top three in the world, in fact, there is no one who is not stronger than the Ming Dynasty in the same period, but it is still necessary to be modest.

In 1472, the Tatars penetrated deep into the Pingliang area, "as if in a no-man's land", and plundered on a large scale.

After 1529, the Mongol tribes continued to commit crimes, plundering in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and even invaded Datong Taiyuan, killing and plundering hundreds of thousands of people and animals.

In 1542, the Mongol Anda tribe plundered Shanxi, crisscrossing 38 prefectures and counties, killing more than 200,000 men and women, losing 2 million livestock, and burning more than 80,000 houses. People are suffering and displaced.

It's really powerful.

so strong that both Tatar and Warat could be conquered, and Korea (which existed at that time) became vassals of the Ming Dynasty.
