    Whoever is the most powerful empire can enjoy the glory of one word. The Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Former Han Dynasty, Later Han Dynasty, Northern Han Dynasty, Southern Han Dynasty, and Zhao Dynasty are called "Han". Generally speaking, in literature  In records and records, if there is no special indication and context, the Han Empire and the Han Empire refer to the dynasty established during the Ming Dynasty. Other dynasties must have the prefixes of front, rear, left, right, east, west, south, and north.  The legal system of the Ming Empire was based on "expelling the Tartars and restoring China", so it had unparalleled justice and rationality.  Tracing back to the long period from Xia, Shang, Zhou to Song, there was the darkness of the Five Husbands, the bloodshed of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the weakness of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties. However, after each darkness, Chinese civilization would have a great revival, and it would be better than the previous generation.  This was true in Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, and even Song Dynasties.  Of course, all over the world, regardless of the Chinese barbarians, are looking forward to it. You must know that the prosperity and revival of Chinese civilization is not the beneficiary of the Chinese nation itself. The barbarian aliens will all be affected by rain and dew. From wearing hair and drinking blood to dressing in poetry and etiquette, they have become barbarians.  China.  Some slanderous literati ridiculed that such benefits are nothing more than the extermination of foreigners. But compared to what the Francons did to the local indigenous people in the far west, such benefits are a sign of great mercy. Live, live.  , live better, this is what the people fundamentally want.  The Ming Empire failed to live up to the expectations of China and foreigners. No one expected that the rise of the Ming Dynasty would be so short. After Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di, the Ming Empire's aggressive military offensive turned into a defensive one. It did not have much strength.  The Mongolian tribes attacked the walls of Beijing and even captured the emperor in a field battle. In the next nearly two hundred years, there were many instances of enemies attacking the capital.  The culture, economy and other aspects are almost the same as the military. The barbarism of the early Ming Empire was extremely serious. For many of the policies of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, the Ming Empire did not learn from each other's strong points. Instead, it absorbed those dark and restrictive things. It is ironic to say that the Ming Dynasty has  , the period of economic and cultural prosperity coincided with the period when the central control of the Ming Empire declined.  Commercial trade is even more of a joke. The world needs the output of the Ming Empire, and the Ming Empire also needs the world's gold and silver. However, the government did not gain any benefits from this, and even triggered a tragic war.  For many people, it is easy to refute the above shortcomings. The Ming Empire lasted for more than two hundred years. During these long years, the legal system of the Zhu Ming royal family has not shifted or changed, and the main territory of the empire has not been reduced. For an empire  That's good enough.  But this kind of good enough is based on the overall decline of Eastern civilization. The Mongol and Yuan Empire, which was so powerful in Europe and Asia, has been scattered into tribes. The warlike barbarians in deserts, forests, and islands are still in ignorance. In such a situation  Next, the Ming Empire, which maintained sufficient size and was not so degraded, had a rare longevity in Chinese history, but it only continued to rot for a long time.  Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was a hero. He made great achievements. Zhu Yuanzhang was a genius. He established an all-encompassing system that lasted throughout the Ming Empire.  It¡¯s just that only Zhu Yuanzhang himself could barely operate this system, and his descendants could only tinker with it and make more mistakes. This system even lowered history¡¯s evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang himself, believing that many of his designs were due to the fact that he came from an extremely poor peasant family.  With limitations and narrowness.  For example, Zhu Yuanzhang had an instinctive aversion to all kinds of taxes, and even punished officials who were good at collecting taxes. However, in the Ming Dynasty, various taxes and labor services made the people miserable, and there were constant riots and chaos. However, most of these taxes and labor services were  Exploited and profited by local gentry and officials, the central finances of the Ming Empire were tight and fragile. They could not afford to support elite soldiers with sufficient fighting strength. Once there were major natural disasters or wars, they would immediately face collapse.  Not to mention the much-criticized vassal system. Since the time of Zhu Di, the royal descendants of the Ming Dynasty have not made any contribution to the empire. Instead, they have exploited and sucked blood in the local area. They have owned a large amount of land and shops, but they have never paid any taxes.  In order to make up for any tax, the Ming Empire could only exploit the people more cruelly, repeating the vicious cycle over and over again.  Ming Taizu was such a hero and genius, and designed such a system that has been criticized and belittled by others. Some people may say that these systems that have been criticized and belittled contain great wisdom. Otherwise, how could the Ming Empire have lived for more than two hundred years?  Come.  Because of this, everyone has the same suspicion about Zhao Jin, Taizu of the Han Dynasty. Zhao Jin, Taizu of the Han Dynasty, is different from every emperor in Chinese history. From Xia, Shang and Zhou to the present, those who have proclaimed themselves emperors have either fought for victory in troubled times, or  It is a game played by people in high positions. Never before in this relatively "peaceful" era have they relied on armed forces similar to those of a militia to seize the world.  ¡°In the thousands of years of history of China, people who became emperors included beggars, nobles, and soldiers. Of course, those who succeeded the throne were not included among them, but there has never been anyone like Zhao Jin.Body.  According to the official records of the Han Empire, Zhao Jin was born in a hundred families of Xuzhou Guards and was a middle-level member of the Ming Dynasty's hereditary officer system. But a more authoritative statement is that Zhao Jin's father was an executioner and his mother was the daughter of a butcher. People from such a family background are destined to  They are untouchables. Although they will have a good life, their political status is not high and they cannot enjoy full civil rights. If readers cannot understand it, please understand it in terms of low castes or untouchables in the caste system. Of course, there are details.  Lots and lots of differences.  In the era when Zhao Jin was born and grew up, the Ming Empire was as bad as ever, but it wasn't that bad. Zhao Jin's father's gray income was enough to ensure a decent life for them, and people around him would treat the Zhao family well.  In the Chinese world, apparent political status and real social status are completely different things. For example, farmers, farmers, industry and commerce, farmers are much nobler than businessmen. And when Zhao Jin was growing up, he rarely left the Xuzhou area. In such a  How the idea of ??seizing the world came about under life experience made later researchers extremely curious.  Although the Han Empire advocated simplicity and virility, the official texts describing Zhao Jin were always full of various myths and legends. For example, there was a big tree that looked like a canopy growing in the courtyard of the Zhao family. For example, there was a tree that looked like a fire on the roof of the Zhao family.  Red light, for example, when Zhao Jin was sleeping, someone was dazzled and mistakenly saw a dragon. There was also a flood in the Yellow River when the shadow of a dragon entered the Zhao family. There are many kinds of red lights that can be seen in various historical materials and literary works in Chinese history. They are almost  Flooding signs of imperial origin.  ******* I have had some physical problems these days due to the change of seasons. Today I have a friend visiting again, so I am writing slowly. I am going to use this method to make a summary of the Ming Martial Arts. This is also the main text, which will be updated intermittently.  , thank you all
