Looking at the entire ancient feudal society in our country, all dynasties and generations will more or less suffer some humiliating diplomacy, as far as the Han and Tang dynasties, which Chinese are the most proud, the Han had to be close to the Xiongnu for a long time, and the Tang also sent princesses to Tubo for peace. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese nation reached the peak of humiliation, a period in which not only the Western powers came to invade and occupy our country, but even Japan, which was not yet powerful at that time, could trample China under its feet. I have to say that these are the pains in the hearts of the Chinese nation, and they are also the painful history that we have to face.
However, if you want to talk about one of the most cattle dynasties in China, it is definitely not the Ming Dynasty. Because in this dynasty, although our country has also suffered from continuous invasion by the West, our country has never fallen into the situation of cutting off land and paying compensation, and even beat the West from now on! More importantly, our country has never signed an unequal treaty during this period, and not even a princess of harmony has ever been dispatched. It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty is indeed a special dynasty in China.
As early as the middle of the 17th century, the Netherlands wanted to launch a colonial invasion of rich China, but what the Dutch colonists did not expect was that their proud ships could not deter the Ming army in the slightest, but were defeated by our country and returned home, and nearly 200 people were captured by our country. In 1637, the British also tried to plot against China, but the result was the same as the Dutch, and the British were eventually defeated by the Ming army and forced to pay 2800 taels of silver.
In the more than 300 years since the founding of daming, portugal, Japan and other countries have launched invasions against our country, but the result is also obvious, they are not capable of overthrowing the powerful Daming. Even after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong, a widow of the Ming Dynasty, was able to drive out the Dutch invaders in Taiwan, thus ensuring the territorial unity of our country. Therefore, in general, the Ming Dynasty rarely lost in foreign wars, and even the enemy who fought in many counter-aggressions did not dare to attack.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to achieve such brilliant results, in addition to the strength of the Ming Dynasty army, this also had a lot to do with the rulers at that time. Among the Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, most of them could recognize themselves, and their attitude towards the Western colonists was also quite firm. Therefore, whenever the West invaded, the Ming Emperor would discuss countermeasures with his courtiers, and under the collective wisdom and efforts of the central government, the invasion of the great powers naturally became a fool's dream.
