It was also in the middle and late period of the dynasty, during the three major campaigns of Wanli, the Japanese kingdom was defeated.
The Xianfeng Opium War and the Guangxu Sino-Japanese War were all defeated.
As the last emperor, Chongzhen committed suicide in Meishan, but Puyi served as a puppet for the Kwantung Army, and later became the puppet emperor of the puppet Manchukuo.
The "Beijing Treaty", "Xin Chou Treaty" and so on are completely different. A rich and powerful China was ceded to pieces by the rulers of the Eastern Captives.
It is said that the territory of the Ming Dynasty is only 300 million square kilometers, but no matter the territory of the rogue bandits or the Eastern Captivity regime is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they are fighting a civil war.Recommended reading TVm.tv./.tv./
In 1368 AD, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named Daming. This was the last Central Plains dynasty established by the Han nationality in Chinese history.
When the territory was the most extensive, it reached the Sea of Japan and the Xing'an Mountains in the northeast, the Gobi Desert in the north, Hami in Xinjiang in the northwest, and the Bay of Bengal in the southwest. Annan (Vietnam) was once recovered, with an area of about 1000 million square kilometers.
The Ming Dynasty was the golden age after the Han and Tang Dynasties.In the Ming Dynasty, there were no relatives in the Han Dynasty, the feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty, and the old coins of the Song Dynasty. The emperor guarded the gate of the country, and the king died in the country.
At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, due to the war, most people were left homeless, but the population with household records still reached 5000 million.
Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that the population of the Ming Dynasty was about 8000 to 1 million at that time, and the population of the world at that time did not exceed [-] million, so the Ming Dynasty was definitely the No.
The world's largest mineral output:
The iron output in the Ming Dynasty was twice that of the Song Dynasty, reaching more than 9000 tons in the Wanli period, and the metallurgical industry was extremely developed.
Tiangong Kaiwu has detailed records on this aspect. In the following 200 years, no country in the world can break this record.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, Spain and Portugal conquered the Americas and acquired large quantities of gold and silver there.
When the Spanish and Portuguese nobles got the wealth, the first thing they did was to buy silk, porcelain and tea from China. In the end, most of the silver and gold flowed to China.
Frank of the United States said in a book that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, one-third of the world's silver flowed to China through trade.
The output value of the military industry ranks first in the world
The military industry of the Ming Dynasty was extremely developed. A battalion of 5000 soldiers was equipped with [-] thunderbolt guns, [-] shotguns, and [-] cannons.
In addition, the Ming army also had ghost head swords, bows, crossbows, grenades and rockets and other equipment.It is recorded in the early Ming Dynasty that there were 200 million officers and soldiers stationed all over the country in the Ming Dynasty.
The largest ship tonnage in the world:
According to the "History of Ming Dynasty" and "The Biography of Zheng He", there were 63 treasure ships of Zheng He's navigation, the largest of which was 44 feet long and 151.18 feet wide. rice.
The ship has four floors, 9 sails can be hung on the 12 masts on the ship, and the anchor weighs several thousand catties. It takes 200 people to set sail. A ship can accommodate [-] people and has a load capacity of [-] tons.
This kind of ship can accommodate thousands of people, and it was the largest ship in the world at that time.Its iron rudder requires 300 men to move.
A small Yarkand Khanate even touched a tiger's beard. You must know that the current Ming Dynasty has surpassed any dynasty in China in terms of military power.
A cold light flashed in Zhu Youjian's eyes. Civil servants all wanted to bite or spray Hassan to death, and generals wanted to eat the envoy of this small country alive.
If it weren't for worrying about roaring at the court, Hassan would have died countless times now. When he touched Zhu Youjian's coldness, Hassan suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his blood froze almost instantly.
Only now did he realize that things seemed vastly different from what he had imagined. The emperor and officials of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have lost their minds, and they were unwilling to exchange a girl for a feudal kingdom.
In fact, this was just his wishful thinking. If Daming wanted the Yaerqiang Khanate, it would be easy to send troops to attack, and he could take over Xinjiang and Tibet by the way. Marriage would be more shameful to Ming than destroying the country.
Zhu Youjian slapped the Longshu case fiercely, and shouted:
"Crack... Kneel down, little country of tiny pellets, what qualifications do you have to marry me, Da Ming? Before you come to Da Ming, don't you know about my ancestral precepts?"
"Come here, cut off the ears and nose of this arrogant person and blast them out of Daming, and send envoys to the Yarkand Khanate to let them withdraw from Hami within two months, or they will wait to be destroyed by Ming soldiers. "
"According to the purpose"
Zhu Youjian's words are imperial edicts, and he will never take them back, but Hassan's words will cause trouble for the upper body, and will destroy the Yaerqiang Khanate.
It can be said that Daming exists like a Kunpeng, and in front of Daming, the Yaerqiang Khanate is just a small sparrow.
Chapter 469
This time Hassan finally knows what it means to be afraid, and also what it means to regret
His legs softened and he knelt on the hall and kowtowed three times, but he was still irrational:
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty the Ming Emperor. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a beautiful story about Princess Wencheng marrying Tubo Songtsan Gampo. Why couldn't the Yeerqiang Khanate marry the Princess of Ming? The national power of the Tang Dynasty must have been stronger than that of Daming now."
Zhu Youjian waved his hand to stop Jin Yiwei from going forward to grab someone. He wanted to see how much Hassan had to say:
"Hassan, the Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty, but now it is Da Ming. Da Ming will never trade women for peace. If you feel that you are strong enough, Da Ming doesn't care about a war."
Hassan shook his head:
"My Yeerqiang Khanate is now at its peak of wealth and prosperity, and I am the heir of the Khan. No matter my status or status, I have not insulted the status of a princess. If a princess is exchanged for the obedience of a powerful country, Daming will not suffer at all."
"Bold, dare to be unreasonable to my emperor and princess."
Li Dingguo was young and energetic, he stepped forward and kicked Hassan into two somersaults, but this guy was also a stubborn bull, he got up from the ground and insisted:
"My father Khan unified the Chagatai Khanate 20 years ago, and our Yarkand Khanate army controlled the entire Ili River Valley and the fertile land of Lake Balkhash..."
Li Dingguo wanted to kick this guy again, but Zhu Youjian waved him to back down. He had already seen the envoy of the Jungar Khanate glaring at Hassan.
He was right. After a series of wars, the Yarkant Khanate has indeed become stronger. After unifying Tashkent and Fergan, the Yarkand Khanate has returned to its heyday.
Zhu Youjian laughed loudly:
"You guys are really cool, but Daming doesn't care. Daming will never trade the princess for peace. If you feel itchy, just declare war on Daming. Someone come to carry out my orders."
What oral order?Of course, they cut off Hassan's ears and nose, and then blasted out of Daming territory.
"You can't do this, this is an insult to the Yarkand Khanate, let me go, I won't make peace, we are here to discuss business with Daming..."
Sensing the real threat coming, Hassan showed his fox tail. It turned out that they were envoys who came to discuss business with Daming. As for the marriage, it was Hassan's personal behavior.
But his begging for mercy did not stop Zhu Youjian from turning off, but instead aroused the anger of the officials.They all begged Hassan to be executed:
"Your Majesty, I request that this person be executed."
"Your Majesty, please execute this person Ling Chi."
……
The outburst of anger by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty made the envoys of the Jungar Khanate and the Heshuo Khanate feel trembling all over. They all felt that the Yaerqiang Khanate was over.
Of course Zhu Youjian wanted to execute Hassan immediately, but there are still many small countries in northwest Xinjiang, Tibet and Central Asia. If you want complete peace in the northwest of Ming Dynasty, there must be a war there, but you can't go out without a name.
After Hassan's incident, Zhu Youjian knew that the opportunity had come.
He did not kill Hassan for the time being, but cut off his ears and nose, which was the greatest humiliation to the Yarkand Khanate, and they would definitely start a war.
