I always thought that the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, but why did it fail?

No, the Ming Dynasty was already very powerful, even when it came to Chongzhen, it was also very powerful, but it was unlucky, when Li Zicheng hit Beijing, there was actually a plague in Beijing, which was almost impossible to cure in ancient times. At that time, Beijing still had 200,000 troops, so most of them died of the plague.

If these 200,000 soldiers don't die, the Ming Dynasty can't perish! Providence!

As it was said upstairs, talk about internal friction! And the climate · It coincides with the Xiaoice period. Every year there were disasters, and the peasant uprisings consumed a lot. The Manchurians only sit on the fisherman's profit.

The Ming Dynasty did not respect intellectuals! Failure is inevitable! In the end, it was wiped out by a group of ignorant peasant mountain artillery, hehe! Fate!

There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is political corruption!

Defeat in civil strife gave the Manchus the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

China in the Ming and Qing dynasties will begin to lag behind in the world! How can a feudal and backward empire not be defeated in the face of the West's strong ships and artillery?

Every dynasty will experience prosperity and decline, the development of society is necessary, and dynasties are constantly changing in order to seek a clearer society.

Self external disonic.

The Ming Dynasty was mainly destroyed by the Peasant War, and it was only then that the Manchus found the opportunity to live in the Central Plains.

There is no reason for the inevitability of historical development.

There is no eternal dynasty, and no dynasty can escape the fate of destruction. People are doing it, and the sky is watching.

The good emperor did not come in time.

The Jin soldiers entered the customs, and Emperor Chongzhen's soul broke the coal mountain.

Also, the national politics in the late Ming Dynasty were already in chaos, and Emperor Chongzhen was a mess as soon as he took over, and he couldn't save it.

There are too many institutions, and there is a lot of redundancy.

Mainly among the emperors in the history of the Ming Dynasty, except for the two fathers and sons of Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu, who had enterprising ideas and practices, the other emperors were all conservatives. Of course, Ming Xuanzong, Ming Yingzong and Ming Wuzong also had the idea of forging ahead, but due to various restrictions, they did not achieve good results, and Ming Yingzong simply became a prisoner. Although the Qing Dynasty mixed a lot of private goods into it when compiling the history of the Ming Dynasty, it constantly smeared the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

But the merits of Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu cannot be discredited, which is why *** thinks that Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu did a good job. The fact that the actual control territory of the Ming Dynasty continued to shrink is very revealing, especially the abolition of Nuer Gandusi and Daningwei, which led to the loss of control over the Jurchens and the Mongols, which led to the continuous invasion of the Mongols and the rise of the Manchus, and finally led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

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.

Why did the Ming Dynasty go into decline? It is related to these policies implemented by Zhu Di.

The Ming Dynasty fell, Wei Zhongxian of the Donglin Party, who is the culprit.

** Massive churn, severe inflation, fiscal collapse, and years of natural disasters.

Upstairs Kapok Foam is quite right and shows support.

I don't agree with one point, Kapok said that Chongzhen has the talent to know people but not the wisdom of people, I think Chongzhen has no knowledge of people at all. Moreover, sometimes there is no distinction between right and wrong.

As far as Yuan Chonghuan is concerned, 1, Yuan Dudu is good at killing the heavy general Mao Wenlong, and Mao Wenlong was older than Yuan Dudu at that time. It's completely out of a dislike look at Mao, so he tricked him into slashing to death. Chongzhen didn't say anything.

For such an act that ignores the laws and regulations of the country, it is actually just like that. I'm Chongzhen, I already cut him.

2, Yuan Dudu was in office, in order to please Wei Zhongxian, he applied for his ancestral hall. Wei Tongshou didn't look at him yet, and he didn't approve it. There is no civil official spirit of the Ming Dynasty at all.

3, Yuan Dudu sells military rations with full people. The greatest advantage of the Ming Dynasty was wiped out. His reasoning was to ease relations. The authentic Ming Dynasty version of cutting meat and feeding tigers!

4. Round and bragging, not drafting. Before he took office, Chongzhen asked him how long it would take to solve the Liao matter, and he didn't blink an eye, 5 years! When he came out, his subordinates asked him, "Is this too big?"

Yuan Dudu said confidently, it was blown up just now, and it will be remedied later. It can be seen that Yuan Dudu's words are really not convinced. He said that he killed Nurhachi by artillery, Nurhachi is more than 70 years old, and his arms and legs can still live for more than half a year if he is hit by a cannon?

The cannonballs in the Ming Dynasty were either solid cannons or flowering cannons, with low accuracy and high damage, and all that flew out as soon as they bloomed were thistles, steel balls or something. If you don't die, you're half-crippled. At that time, the sanitary conditions, a 70-year-old man for more than half a year, I didn't believe anything.

5, when Huang Taiji entered the Guannei, it was only one year before Yuandukua went to the sea. Chongzhen asked Yuan Dudu how to solve it, and Yuan Dudu said confidently that he would come to fight Beijing, and if he couldn't beat him, he would run away. Is this a target for Chongzhen?

With the above 5 articles, it is really not enough for the people to be angry. said that he was a national hero, that was what Qianlong said, can you believe it? God knows if it's the national hero of the Han or the Manchu!

The reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty are too complex. All I can say is that the time is over. It's all fate! Even if Chongzhen has a lot of shortcomings, he is really not a king of the dead country. He was only born when he was dying.

The Ming Dynasty is the saddest dynasty of destruction and natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is said that the Chongzhen period is a rare Xiaoice River era, plus internal and external troubles, otherwise the Manchu Qing can take advantage of a big advantage to rule China. The Ming Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in China, a hundred times stronger than the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In fact, the Qing army was not very powerful, but the Ming Dynasty was in civil strife, and he just picked up a leak.

Despise the Manchurians and only engage in meaningless politics.

The reasons are as follows: 1. The land annexation was serious, resulting in a large number of displaced people, in the early Ming Dynasty, the ruler carried out strict management of the land, but in the late Ming Dynasty, the Hongqiao land system changed, and there was a large-scale forced occupation of land by the government, resulting in a large number of displaced people, resulting in chaos in social order;

2. During the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power was highly centralized, and it had a counterproductive effect on politics, economy, culture, and military;

3. The taxes paid by the imperial court increased, and the peasants levied heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes;

4. The discipline of the army is lax, which seriously harms the people and disturbs the people;

5. The military defeat of the outside and the inside, the attrition of the war and the rise of the Qing Dynasty led to the emptiness of the treasury and the decline of national defense strength;

6. The shadow chain between the eunuch dictatorship and the Dongchang system is noisy, resulting in the corruption of the political system and the people's misery;

7. Chongzhen is ambitious and talented, and narrow-mindedness is also one of the reasons;

8. Hiring talents and strategic mistakes, military generals were unjustly killed or dismissed, and the Great Wall was self-destructed and missed the opportunity;

9. Natural disasters across the country have had a huge impact on agricultural production, socio-political and economic life;

10. The change of dynasties is a normal natural law, which is inevitable and unavoidable.

The heyday was indeed strong, and strength and decline coexisted. At that time, the number of armies of a country in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to the armies of all countries in Europe combined.
