#History Talk#From the comparison of the territory of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is much smaller than the Qing Dynasty, and in history, the Qing Dynasty expanded and counterinsurgency and other wars were also more than the Ming, and the Ming Dynasty was not as big as the Qing Dynasty nor the Qing Dynasty, but why did many people tout the Ming Dynasty and belittle and deny the Qing Dynasty?
The Ming Dynasty was the last Central Plains (Han) imperial dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains outside the customs, so many people tout the Ming Dynasty and deny the Qing Dynasty! This can be said to be regional reasons, but also national reasons, as the main nation, defeated and ruled, naturally disobedient and dissatisfied, will miss the imperial dynasty of the main nation! This ideology belongs to feudal ideology and is also narrow nationalism! It is no longer suitable for modern society, and now it is important to pay attention to the ability to live! Of course, whether modern or ancient, it is also based on ability and strength, and it will be replaced without ability and strength, but the modern pattern is higher and larger, and nationalism cannot be narrow!
There are many people who will say that the Qing Dynasty mistook China, lost power and humiliated the country, etc., and the Ming Dynasty did not pay tribute, etc., the Ming Dynasty was stronger, not weak, and had a backbone, so it is necessary to praise the Ming Dynasty and belittle the Qing Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty was indeed quite strong, but the Ming Dynasty's territorial consciousness was not strong, and it had been retreating in the middle and late periods, and finally retreated to Guanxi, and even Taiwan and Macao were colonized! Although the Qing Dynasty signed a lot of unequal treaties and lost a lot of territory, but the Qing Dynasty finally held the northeast of Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia, compared with the Ming Dynasty and other Central Plains imperial dynasties, the Qing Dynasty finally held a larger family base, and many imperial dynasties gave up outside the customs and retreated to the inside of the customs after their decline! And the Qing Dynasty did not give up the outside of the Guan, which is incomparable to the Ming Dynasty or other Central Plains emperors, the Qing Dynasty has a stronger sense of territory and has guarded such a large family base, if the Han Dynasty encounters the situation at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it will definitely give up the Northeast Inner Mongolia and the Western Regions and return to the Guan!
The Ming Dynasty began to implement a policy of contraction from Emperor Renzong, and Emperor Xuanzong imposed a sea ban, and the territorial consciousness of the Ming Dynasty was imprisoned in Guannei and Liaodong! It can also be said that since Chengzu proposed "the Son of Heaven guards the gate of the country", the Ming Dynasty has given up the outside of the Guan, as long as the Guan is inside, the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Han Dynasty, bounded by the Ming Great Wall! This kind of thinking had a far-reaching influence, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the revolutionary party advocated dividing the Great Wall into Han and Manchuria, as long as the eighteen provinces of Han Dynasty, even now there is a phenomenon of "not having enough resources"!
Although the Great Wall was built to defend against nomadism in the north, few imperial dynasties would actually explicitly propose the Great Wall as a boundary, because ambitious emperors would use the Great Wall as a springboard to expand their territory to the north! And after the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the two heroes of the Northern Expedition, returned without success, the Ming Dynasty only had the Northern Expedition of Emperor Xuanzong, and the Ming Dynasty completely shrank after Emperor Xuanzong, and the capital was besieged after Yingzong was captured alive in Datong, and Yu Qian Daizong and others saved the Ming Dynasty! Although Emperor Xianzong suppressed the Jurchen ministry, he also retreated to Liaodong, did not rule the Jurchen divisions, and did not garrison officials! The Ming Dynasty did not send officers and soldiers to the Qinghai-Tibet region, but only ruled in name! After the implementation of the policy of contraction after the implementation of the Renxuan Second Sect, soon the Mongol tribes occupied! Due to the sea ban imposed by the Ming Dynasty, there was no governance of Taiwan, allowing Taiwan to be colonized by Spain and the Netherlands for more than half a century, and finally Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to go to Taiwan! Vietnam also became independent during the Ming Xuanzong period! Except for the pioneering spirit in the early days of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the rest of the Ming Dynasty was shrinking and had no ambition!
And the Qing Dynasty from Nur Hachi to Qianlong six generations of seven people (including Dolgon) are open to expand the territory, although many territories Han and Tang have also ruled, but the Qing Dynasty has been thousands of years, the Qing Dynasty's development of China's territory is the most important, although there are many territories in the late Qing Dynasty that were not held, but what remained was greater than that of other dynasties! This is thanks to the fact that the Qing Dynasty not only opened up its territory and expanded its territory, but also sent officers and soldiers to govern, set up a general's office, sent officers and soldiers to Tibet to garrison, etc., laying a stable foundation for the later "crossing the Guandong" and "going to the west exit" immigration and consolidating its rule!
The late Qing Dynasty did lose a lot of territory, but each late imperial dynasty lost territory and retreated all the way, each great unified imperial dynasty did not live more than three hundred years, and when it declined, it would give up the retreat outside the border, while the Ming Dynasty began to retreat and tighten in the early stage, in contrast, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it could still retract the vast territory and recover the northwest! Every dynasty is inevitably invaded when it falls, and if one dynasty is denied because of the failure and decay at the end of the period, then almost all imperial dynasties can be denied, and no imperial dynasty is not corrupt at the end!
The Qing Dynasty's closed country, may have missed the industrial revolution, but it cannot be said that the closed country is mistaken by the country, because ancient Chinese thought is based on agriculture, industry and commerce as the end, literature as the priority, and there is almost no science, so even if there is no closed country, the Qing Dynasty can not keep up with the industrial revolution! And at the end of the Qing Dynasty, learn the West to run industry, but the Qing Dynasty has been shaky, at this time the anti-Qing revolutionary party did not pay attention to industry at all, they are more colluding with the great powers to rely on the powers, some people advocate abolishing the use of Latin in writing, some people advocate asking the Japanese to be the prime minister, some people cooperate with the Japanese to oppose the Qing and even sign a treaty to let the Japanese help build an army, if the Qing Dynasty did not close the country, the southern anti-Qing forces colluded with the West early, the West would divide and disintegrate the Qing Dynasty, and the consequences were unimaginable, Even now, the West is still dividing us and wants to disintegrate us!
It was not the Qing Dynasty that really missed the development of industry, but the revolutionary party (Kuomintang), which was bent on opposing the Qing Dynasty, did not pay attention to development, and colluded with the great powers, relied on the great powers, and after the National Government came to power, it also imported comprehensively, advocated Westernization, did not develop heavy industry in its base camps Nanjing, Guangzhou, etc., and also signed the "Tanggu Armistice Agreement" to abandon the northeast heavy industry base! The Qing Dynasty would also engage in foreign affairs campaigns, build ships and guns, and the poisonous influence of the foreign flattery formed by the National Government is still everywhere!
In fact, the Ming Dynasty's sea ban is more disadvantageous than the Qing Dynasty's closed country, which can definitely show that the sea ban is still really wrong country, the sea ban made the Ming Dynasty miss the opportunity to develop cooperation in the South China Sea and the West, and restrict immigration, otherwise there will be more Chinese and even Chinese countries in Southeast Asia and Australia! And when the South China and the West were colonized by the West, the Ming Dynasty failed to rescue, the Ming Dynasty was not only invaded by the Wokou, even the Western powers were indifferent when they colonized Taiwan and Macao, and when the Qing Dynasty achieved unification, Britain and France also came to East Asia, and the Western powers had already surrounded China, from the historical reality, closing the country was to save the Qing Dynasty, so that the Chinese nation was not divided and disintegrated by the Western powers! If the Western powers entered the Qing Dynasty early, then at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Western powers will inevitably divide and disintegrate China, so closing the country is to maintain unity, and the sea ban is to give up sea power, the sea ban is a real missed development, but also a real mistake in the country, if the Ming Dynasty did not implement the sea ban, let the people go to the sea to develop, the Ming Dynasty's uprising is not so serious! At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were not as many uprisings in the north as in the south, precisely because the northerners could "break through the Guandong" and "go to the west entrance" to go out and develop!
The "word prison" of the Qing Dynasty is indeed harsh, the "text prison" of the Ming Dynasty is even more cruel, the Ming Dynasty set up Jinyiwei, East Factory and West Factory to monitor hundreds of officials and people, Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang killed hundreds of thousands of people during the period, and the entire Ming Dynasty was killed by Jinyiwei, East Factory and West Factory There will be no less! And the Qing Dynasty defense against the Han is also understandable, after all, there are many Han people against the Qing, and the oppressive rule of the feudal dynasty is also common, but when it is seriously oppressed, the people will revolt and resist, the uprising of the Ming Dynasty is the most in history, and the uprising of the Qing Dynasty as a non-Han Dynasty is not as good as the Ming Dynasty, which shows that the Ming Dynasty is more brutal and oppressive than the Qing Dynasty!
In terms of historical facts, the Ming Dynasty is narrower and more brutal than the Qing Dynasty, and the pioneering spirit of the Ming Dynasty is not as strong as the Qing Dynasty, but because the Ming Dynasty is a Han imperial dynasty, there are more people touting, and the Qing Dynasty is outside the customs into the Central Plains, so it is disgusted and denied by many people, which shows people's narrow-mindedness and is also a manifestation of narrow nationalism! I don't mean to deny the Ming Dynasty, but to tout the Qing Dynasty, I will at least talk about things and respect historical facts, I will not deny any dynasty, you can oppose the Qing Dynasty but cannot deny the Qing Dynasty, you cannot engage in separatism!
No matter what is right or wrong between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, we cannot deny it, we can criticize it, we also need to reflect, take history as a guide, safeguard the great unity and unity of the Chinese nation, safeguard the territorial integrity and security of the country, not be narrow-minded, cannot admire foreign countries, must be magnanimous, and self-confident and self-reliant, so as to realize the great rejuvenation and reunification of the Chinese nation and realize the common prosperity of the Chinese nation!
