Why didn't the Ming Dynasty decentralize local military power in the last years, leading to the collapse of the whole country?
The matter of delegating military power, as long as you flip through the history books, it is too particular. At the end of the Han Dynasty, in order to deal with the Yellow Turban Uprising, the military power was delegated, and the Yellow Turban Army did not take long, but after that, the princes of all walks of life were different, whether it was Dong Zhuo, Guo Yan, Li Dao who entered Beijing, or the princes of the Eighteenth Road in Kwantung, all of them were the gravediggers of the Han Dynasty.
Although the late Tang Dynasty was early in the feudal towns, most of them could still be barely controlled except for the three towns of Weibo, and after the Huangchao Uprising, the military power was completely decentralized. Although it is uncertain whether Huangchao perished earlier, but the Tang Dynasty is really nothing, and anyone dares to bully the emperor, and it was soon canceled by Zhu Wen.
After the infighting in the Central Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it mainly relied on the rebel army after the decentralization of military power to fight the rebel army, Wang Baobao and Polo Timur These people can indeed fight the rebel army, but they prefer to fight each other. So when Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng were in full swing in the south, Wang Baobao, Polo Timur, and other people with their own military power were in full swing in the north.
Therefore, there are two problems with the decentralization of military power:
1. Is it better to renew the life of the empire, or to urge the empire to live?
2. Are these people with independent military power below them willing to spend their energy fighting the East and the West, or eating chicken with each other?
The first problem is that the court cannot grasp, and the second problem is even more difficult for the court to grasp.
Later, the Southern Ming Dynasty was the decentralization of military power in the standard sense, but it seems that the above two problems are reflected. After most of the military leaders got the military power, they chose to attack their own people and kneel smoothly against the Qing army. And then there was no decent resistance at all and it was over. In the end, I have to rely on the rogue pirates to continue their lives.
Just because the Qing Dynasty later relied on military decentralization to suppress the Taiping Rebellion does not mean that military decentralization is a panacea. From the perspective of the Ming court, it is difficult to say whether the military power has been delegated in history or whether it is a continuation of life or a rush of life.
There are many reasons behind the apparent success of the Qing Dynasty's ability to decentralize military power, including the fact that the government has learned how to deal with the people who have a certain amount of armed weapons for hundreds of years, and that the imperial court has not yet reached the stage of complete degeneration, and the monarchs and ministers still have basic political skills, and can slowly take over power in tolerance afterwards. These are precisely the lessons learned from many previous dynasties and summarized early on.
At this time in the late Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to have these abilities.
