Peace, land cutting, indemnity, etc. are all common means of negotiation in war, and many dynasties have also done this, and in history, many princesses have gone to make peace, and many dynasties have also been defeated, and after being defeated, they have cut off land and paid compensation and signed many unequal treaties.
However, the Ming Dynasty never did this, and they firmly implemented the ancestral precepts of "no peace, no indemnity, no land, no tribute, the son of heaven guarding the gate of the country, and the death of the king", which is also the ancestral precept that summed up the lessons of countless previous dynasties.
Even if they were as powerful as the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, many princesses were sent to make peace. After Ming Yingzong was captured by The Wallachians, the Original Wallachians used The Ming Emperors as hostages to blackmail the Ming Dynasty into paying compensation for the cession of land. However, the Ming Dynasty did not yield, but immediately set up a new emperor and continued to confront them, so that the hostages in the hands of the enemy lost their value, and although Ming Yingzong was in the enemy camp, he still maintained the integrity of being the monarch of the Ming Dynasty and never showed weakness.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the Chongzhen Emperor could not save the country that was about to perish, he also adhered to his integrity, preferring to commit suicide rather than run away and steal his life. This kind of integrity deserves our admiration. The ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty show us what a dynasty with integrity and backbone is like, and after the Kangxi Emperor ascended the throne, he also went to the south many times to visit Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum, which shows what the views of future generations on the Ming Dynasty are.
