    The eunuchs interfered in politics, the emperor was mediocre, and Ming Xizong favored Wei Zhongxian, so that the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed.

    I think the Ming Dynasty began to decline after Wanli's pro-government.

    I don't think the decline of the Ming Dynasty was due to the dictatorship of eunuchs in the middle and late periods, although the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty had notoriety, but in general, most of the eunuchs were under the control of the emperor, and the performance was particularly prominent in the Wanli period. Wanli does not care about political affairs, and everything is handled by the eunuchs of the celebrant and the eunuch of Bingbi. But the fact is that there are many secret agencies in the Ming Dynasty, even if they are eunuchs, they are not alone, first of all, the eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuch and the eunuch of Bingbi are divided into powers, and there are also the admirals and eunuchs of the East and West Factory, although the non-eunuch series of Jinyiwei is not of high grade, but it is directly managed by the emperor and has the privilege of rumors.

    The emperor has many eyes and ears, and it is not so easy for eunuchs to want to be autocratic. This has a lot to do with the strengthening of the centralization of power by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the centralization of power by the emperor.

    Also, if you have to find a culprit for the decline of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, I think it was a party struggle connived and led by the emperor. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, the huge political internal friction brought about by party strife caused the political situation in the Ming Dynasty to worsen. It's a pity that Yu Qian turned the tide and Zhang Juzheng made innovations, both of which failed because of the emperor's connivance and leading party struggle.

    Take history as a mirror and know the law of rise and fall.

    If it is calculated from the time of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, I think it is mainly the long-term impact of the Wuxun aristocratic class formed during the founding of the Ming Dynasty after a large number of losses in the Tumubao Incident, the gentry class's seizure of state power and land and other resources, resulting in the continuous reduction of national income, coupled with the emperor's incompetence and natural disasters, the Ming Dynasty finally declined.

    The root cause of the decline of the Ming Dynasty was that its policies could not keep up with the needs of the development of local private economic forms. The Ming Dynasty succeeded in maintaining the feudal small peasant economy, but this came at great cost to resist the development of the commodity economy. Although the typical policy of heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce maintained the stability of the empire for more than 100 years, the result was that the overall structure of the Ming Dynasty was built on the basis of four characters, namely"Maintain the status quo'.

    The party strife was serious, and the Ming Dynasty vigorously used eunuchs, which stemmed from the social imprint. Zhu Yuanzhang came from a humble background and became a great career, but when faced with a new proposition of ruling the entire empire, he found that he had to rely on the scholars who looked down on his origin, and the Confucian methods of governing the world by the scholars. The use of scholars, and because of the influence of social stigma, "afraid of scholars, beware of scholars", this is the beginning of the Zhu Ming Dynasty's reuse of eunuchs.

    By the time Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants became the ruling representatives of scholars, the eunuch system had been established and penetrated into the entire imperial and bureaucratic system, and it was difficult to make it easier.

    The Ming Dynasty lasted 276 years, and the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) was a unified dynasty established by the Han people, with a total of 16 emperors and 276 years of reign.

    At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Uprising broke out, and Zhu Yuanzhang joined Guo Zixing's team. In 1364, he was called King of Wu, and was known as Western Wu in history. At the beginning of 1368, he was called the emperor, the country name was Daming, and 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 period, the civil engineering changes changed from prosperity to decline, and then the national power was revived by Hongzhi Zhongxing, Jiajing Zhongxing, and Wanli Zhongxing, and in the late Ming Dynasty, the national strength declined due to Donglin party strife and natural disasters, and a peasant uprising broke out. In 1644, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty fell.

    The Ming Dynasty clan established the Southern Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, entered the customs with the Qing soldiers, and successively defeated the regimes of Dashun, Daxi, Southern Ming Hongguang, Longwu, and Shaowu. In 1662, Emperor Yongli was killed, and the Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed. In 1683, the Qing army captured Taiwan, and the Ming Zheng of Fengming Zhengshuo was destroyed.

    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 to the Liao River Basin; reach Yin Mountain in the north, and then retreat to the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty; west to Hami, Xinjiang, and then retreat 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 area, there was a detention guard, and also recovered Annam.

    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 pointed out that the population of the late Ming Dynasty was close to 200 million.

    The Ming Dynasty was the first period after the Han and Tang dynasties. There are no relatives of the Han Dynasty, the town of the Tang Dynasty, and the old coins of the Song Dynasty, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty evaluated Ming Taizu as "Zhilong Tang and Song Dynasty", and "History of the Ming Dynasty" evaluated Ming Chengzu as "Yuanmai Han and Tang Dynasties".

    The fundamental reason is that the economic system lags behind economic development.

    The commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty was already quite developed, but the economic system did not keep up. Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue was still mainly dependent on agriculture. ** did not get much benefit from the development of the commodity economy, **** income has been too low.

    As a result, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when encountering a long-term disaster in the north, he was unable to deal with it.

    The resistance to the reform of the economic system lies with the civilian clique.

    In the civil bureaucracy, which actually controls the power, the industrial and commercial class has occupied the main position, and in order to protect its own interests, it has prevented the attempt to obtain income from industry and commerce.

    With the rapid development of industry and commerce, agriculture continued to shrink in the Ming Dynasty. Industry and commerce eroded agricultural land and labor (which, at the time, was not a problem for agriculture). This has led to a continuous reduction in the income that can be derived from agriculture.

    Due to the failure of the economic system of the Ming Dynasty to adjust in time, under the internal and external troubles of the late Ming Dynasty, the economy has actually gone bankrupt.

    Of course, what has been said above is only the reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, or the reason for the apparent decline of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, before the Qing army attacked Jiangnan, from the perspective of Jiangnan, the Ming Dynasty showed no signs of decline, but everything was still on the rise. The disaster in the north at the end of the Ming Dynasty did not have much impact on the south.

    This can be seen from the fact that Li Zicheng was able to call on the victims in the north, but in Hubei (which should have been called Huguang at that time) he was miserable until he was killed. The revolt of the victims at the end of the Ming Dynasty did not affect the foundation of the southern Ming Dynasty.

    The landlord felt that the Ming Dynasty had declined, and it was true that the Ming Dynasty was indeed negative enough in all aspects.

    However, more than 100 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it still solved the southern and northern captives, even in the period of Mingshenzong, still assisted Korea to win the Japanese invaders, and asked which dynasty could do this, but the Ming Dynasty was indeed beaten all over the ground in just a dozen years, and finally lost power.

    In fact, the root cause of the decline lies in the people's hearts, the political backbone of the empire put their own political and economic interests above the nation-state, and in the face of foreign enemies, they do not want to sacrifice themselves to serve the country but blindly care about preserving their own privileges, so as to merge with the emerging political forces, in fact, many battles between the Ming and Qing dynasties at the end of the Ming Dynasty can be seen, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is by no means below that of the Qing army.

    The intrigue within the regime led to the fact that most of the forces were not fighting against the Qing army on the front line, and I am afraid that the weak internal cohesion was the root cause of the decline.

Because, a kingdom cannot be without a king for a day!
