Talking about the problem of the south and the north of the Ming Dynasty, thank you

The pirates in the south and the captives in the north.

Why do you say that Japan is the sun?

It's as if Japan is above board.

The Ming Dynasty was a feudal dynasty established by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty who overthrew the Yuan Dynasty through a peasant uprising, and the Yuan Dynasty had a vast territory, and after Xu Da conquered the capital, the Yuan Dynasty did not die, and the Yuan Shun Emperor fled north to Shangdu, and then fled to Yingchang. Since then, there have been forces hostile to the Ming Dynasty in the northern region of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called "Northern Captives". In addition, due to the changes in Japan's domestic political situation, especially after Japan entered the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were disputes among the princes in Japan, and some samurai and ronin also went to the coast of China to plunder, which is also known as the "Southern Wa".

Zhu Yuanzhang in response to the situation of "capturing the north and the south", the Ming Dynasty actually adopted many measures to deal with it, such as the early Ming Dynasty adopted a policy of consolidating the border, dividing the Liao Wang, Ning Wang, Yan Wang, Gu Wang, Dai Wang, Jin Wang, Qin Wang, Qing Wang, Su Wang as the nine kings of the nine Sai kings, in order to stabilize the northern frontier. After the Battle of Jingjing, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, and also had the idea of strengthening the northern border to deal with the "northern captives", and Zhu Di also attacked Mobei five times, in fact, they were also dealing with the "northern captives". On the issue of the "Southern Wa", Zhu Yuanzhang, on the basis of summing up the lessons and lessons of the Yuan Dynasty, listed Japan as a "country not to be conquered" with the intention of living in peace with Japan.

And Zhu Yuanzhang also sent envoys to Japan, intending to establish relations with Japan, and hoping to cooperate in dealing with the Japanese invaders, but the political situation in Japan at that time was chaotic, and Zhu Yuanzhang's move did not have a good effect. With the stabilization of Japan's political situation, the samurai who had lost their power instead entrenched themselves on the islands, and the intrusion into China's coastal areas became more and more serious. During the period of Ming Chengzu, the Ming Dynasty established a survey with General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Muromachi Shogunate**, and the Muromachi Shogunate also increased the suppression of the Japanese Invaders, and the "Southern Wai" problem was alleviated for a time, and in the Ashikaga Yoshinori period, the policy of the Shogunate changed, and the slightly eased Japanese Kou problem was further intensified.

Later, as Japan entered the Warring States period, the political situation became more chaotic, and due to the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty, some Chinese also joined the activities of invading the coast, and the "real and false" and "false and false" began to appear, jointly affecting the coastal areas, and the problem of the Wukou became more and more serious.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. It can be said that the problem of "the north and the south of the country" has plagued the Ming court since the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and although it has been dealt with, it has not achieved good results. The Civil Engineering Rebellion of 1449 and the Gengxu Rebellion of 1550 were both large-scale incidents of "northern captivity" and southern aggression. In 1555, 53 (72) Japanese invaders landed in Zhejiang, and in more than 80 days, this group of Japanese invaders fought in three provinces, killing and wounding four or five thousand Ming troops, and even openly attacked the city of Nanjing, and finally was wiped out under the siege of a large number of Ming troops.

Emperor Jiajing. The issue of "the northern captives and the southern Japanese" has always been an important issue in the Ming Dynasty, which has long consumed the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, and can be said to be a very important border problem in the Ming Dynasty.
