The Ming Dynasty was a well-deserved military power in ancient times. In the hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the military was almost always swept away by the great powers, and the Ming Dynasty army was an invincible existence. Especially in the successive years of conquest with the Wokou, although the Wokou won a small victory, but when the intolerable Ming Dynasty royal family was determined to get rid of the tumor, it could directly hit the Wokou from the bone to feel the chill, and it was fortunate to be able to return alive. From then on, he did not dare to step into the eastern soil for half a step.
So why was the later barbaric and backward Manchu invasion powerless to resist? It was eventually easily replaced by the Manchus. Where did the strong Ming Dynasty morale go? Why did the legend of the Jingo Iron Horse stop here?
In fact, the great waves and sands changed day and month, after the ming dynasty in the period of strength, from the master to the late ming dynasty of the courtiers has been short of heroes, a hundred years of pampering and superiority has made a country's spirit sharply reduced, there is a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the territory, and there is wolf smoke outside the cyprus. The country is embattled. Even if Hua Tuo is still alive, there is no cure.
After years of internal and external troubles, he finally exhausted the last drop of Daming's blood. The Qing army took the opportunity to enter the pass and seize the Central Plains, and it can be said that the Qing Dynasty's world was invincible.
Moreover, the century of peace naturally cultivated a tradition of emphasizing literature over military force, civilian officials have great power, civilian officials who do not understand military affairs can participate in the command and dispatch of military power, coupled with the chaos in the official field, for the sake of officials to benefit themselves, frame Yuan Chonghuan, and pit the Ming Dynasty.
