Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Wang Yan has made great contributions.

This contribution was so great that even the emperor could not repay him.

Why do I say that?

Before Zhu Qizhen came to power, Wang Yan was already 70 years old, so he was recalled to the capital for retirement.

The young emperor Zhu Qizhen specially allocated funds to build him a Guangning Temple at Taogukou, Changping County.

He also asked Yang Rong, a great scholar, to write the "Edict to Guangning Temple".

The emperor built a temple to pray for a eunuch who was still alive. You can imagine the great contribution of this eunuch.

Wang Zhen regretted the incident at Tumubao and drew his sword to kill himself.

Only after Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne again did he build a temple to repay his kindness.

From this point, we can judge how great Wang Yan's contribution is!

Wang Yan has been in charge of Liaodong for 40 years. It can be said that everything in Liaodong is in his mind.

Maybe...at home too!

Liaodong - During the reign of Emperor Yongle, the most important task was - building sea ships!

Since Wang Yan is in charge of this job, does his family have something that someone needs?

For example - nautical charts? Shipbuilding information? Shipyard internal information? Liaodong customs and customs...

(Jilin was a shipyard at the time - the Ashhada site has been excavated.)

……

Before the Tumubao Incident, the power structure of the Ming Dynasty was as follows - civilian officials were responsible for serving as officials, and the emperor had to send people to supervise them.

The nobles and generals are in charge of the army.

Civil servants with great military power could not interfere. The emperor supervised the army - it was the eunuchs.

On this line related to navigation——

Whether it is the direction of Liaodong, Mongolia, Jiaozhi, Sanxuan and Liuwei, or important ocean ports and islands - they are all in charge of eunuchs and nobles.

The civil servants have no way to intervene!

The nobles and eunuchs are in charge - this is equivalent to the emperor personally controlling it!

If you look at these arrangements of Emperor Yongle, you will clearly find that everything related to navigation and trade, which can directly threaten the world, is all in the hands of the Zhu family emperor!

Including ports where the fleet docks, supply locations...

As I mentioned before, Emperor Yongle dug canals, built palaces, built Wudang, and fought in the south and north...

Whatever "tyrants" did in history, he did it all!

Not one piece left!

Whatever the "tyrant" did, Zhu Di would not miss a thing.

What Zhu Di did - the "tyrant" may not be done yet.

At the same time, the domestic land tax is only thirty to one, and the commercial tax is also thirty to one.

(The commercial tax was originally fifteen to one, but soon after the founding of the country it was reduced to twenty to one, and within a few years it was reduced to thirty to one.)

Thirty taxes one...

The two most famous benevolent monarchs in history - the prosperous Wenjing Dynasty of the Western Han Dynasty, did this!

Then, Zhu Di went to bed again and again...

The battle was fought again and again...

According to what they said, the barbarians took two smelly dried fish, pretended to be a king and paid tribute, and also rewarded them with a boatload of gold...

During the reign of Emperor Yongle, he spent money lavishly. There were big projects and lavish spending everywhere.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Yongle could still pay wages to the common people!

However - the country is still prospering.

You can imagine how rich the Ming Dynasty was during the Zhu Di period!

Where did this money come from?

Isn’t it just income from overseas trade?

Can Zhu Di control all the income from foreign trade?

I'm afraid [-]% is enough!

With [-]% of the trade income, Zhu Di can do so many things...

You can imagine the huge profits from this voyage!

In overseas markets, wealthy gentry have been cultivated since at least the Tang Dynasty.

The overseas market has finally matured...

Good guy, it’s finally time to make a lot of money, do you, the Zhu family, want to cut it all off?

Will the luxury gentry group watch the Zhu family pick peaches?

It would be weird if I didn’t do it to you!

Once you understand this, you can explain all the actions of the Ming Dynasty from beginning to end!

Why did the literati dominate the court during the Jianwen Dynasty?

Why did Yingzong rebel in Fujian and Zhejiang?

Why did Emperor Jiajing sweep away Japanese pirates along the coast?

Look at this land:

The Yangtze River Delta area in Zhejiang Province - the origin of silk, tea and porcelain!

Fujian - the origin of tea and porcelain!

Jiangxi - the origin of tea and porcelain!

Guizhou, Huguang (Hunan) - the origin of tea, or the Ancient Tea Horse Road!

What the hell!

Silk, tea, and porcelain are the highlights of China’s foreign trade!

The source of wealth!

And the people who the Zhu family emperor controls this line are all nobles and eunuchs!

Everyone understands what the court rules set by Hongwu and Yongle are, right?

This line is a mountain of gold and silver!

How can the wealthy gentry in the Yangtze River Delta, a major foreign trade center, not be jealous?

All the puzzling events in the Ming Dynasty have their reasons, right?

Have you found the answers to all those strange, weird, and puzzling operations?

After the Tumu Fort Incident - these rules were all chopped off by Yu Qian!

Then, in turn, he took control of the military power in the capital, sent civil servants to supervise the generals, gave up the border, controlled the military power, and took back the eunuchs who guarded various places (most of these people were killed on the spot when they came back)...

The emperor asked eunuchs to supervise the army, so Yu Qian asked civil servants to supervise the army!

The emperor asked civil servants to supervise and restrain each other internally, so Yu Qian dismissed them all!

The emperor asked eunuchs to guard various industrial and mining areas in the mainland, but Yu Qian killed them all!

The emperor asked the eunuchs and nobles to arrange their arrangements to defend the capital. Yu Qian took charge of the capital himself. His words would make the emperor's face change drastically!

The emperor ordered the army to be stationed at the border and reclamation passes, and set up forts to serve as eyesights. Yu Qian asked the soldiers to return to the capital...

(If you don’t understand this, take a look at the First Northern Expedition of the Zhengtong Dynasty.

Why not defend the land you conquered?

——How can you smuggle it if you keep it? )

……

When Yu Qian was in Jingtai Dynasty, he was the regent without title!

Yu Qian, who had obtained military power, did not join the cabinet - because the cabinet wanted to listen to him and act based on his looks.

Zhu Qizhen can come back because this group is dissatisfied with Qian.

These behaviors of Yu Qian were also the ruling policy of the Ming Dynasty civil servant group throughout the entire Ming Dynasty!

Naturally, this also includes Fang Xiaoru, Sanyang, Donglin Party...

……

After explaining this background clearly, we can understand the importance of the eunuchs guarding Liaodong!

This was the basis of the Royal Navigation Line.

A shipbuilding base is the prerequisite for sailing to the Western Ocean.

An 11-meter-long ship rudder pole was excavated from the ruins of the Ming Dynasty shipyard in Nanjing.

Reduced according to the hole slot, the rudder blade is 6.035 meters high.

You can imagine how huge the ship is.

China has been developed for thousands of years. Where can we find such large shipbuilding timber?

Isn't it just the slave doing what Dusi wants to do!

There are primeval forests everywhere over there, how can there be any missing big trees?

How tall is the world's tallest tree in America?

To put it bluntly, cut it down and dig a hole. Even though it is a canoe, if you put it in the water, it will become a Big Mac.

Over there at Nuergan, can there be no big trees?

Speaking of shipbuilding, there is a little story. There was news in Northern Europe last year——

The oak trees planted hundreds of years ago finally became useful. As a result, the world has already entered the era of giant steel ships...
