Video Through History: the Beginning of the Inventory of Ten Kings

[The Ming court wants to levy taxes in line with the actual number of people, it is simply wishful thinking. 】

[However, after the Qingzhang was completed, the land had a fixed number and a fixed quota, which greatly improved the uneven taxation of land of different sizes, qualities and ownership. 】

[In addition, with the implementation of the reform, a large number of hidden fields were found, which greatly increased the area of ​​arable land that could bear the tax and grain in the Ming Dynasty. 】

[After this, he simplified the taxation and corvée into one editorial review, referred to as "one editor", which is the famous "one whip law" in later generations. 】

[Let's talk about throttling...]

[Zhang Juzheng suppressed financial expenditures including weaving projects and court banquets, and cut off many large-scale projects. 】

[In addition, he also strengthened the management of money and grain and farmland in border towns, reducing the pressure on military salaries. 】

[These actions, although greatly increased the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty, also caused Zhang Juzheng to be involved in the whirlpool of the storm. 】

[Because of the reform, he offended too many people. 】

[so that...]

[When Zhang Juzheng died, the wall fell and everyone pushed him in an instant. It was not until the Apocalypse Dynasty [*] years later that he was able to avenge his injustice. 】

[Of course, this is a later story. 】

………………

Having said this, the voice of the narrator seemed to be a little sigh, after a pause, he continued:

[During the ten years when Zhang Juzheng advocated reform, the political, economic and military aspects of the Ming Dynasty were strengthened. 】

[The problem of official administration, which has always been a headache for the emperors of all dynasties, has also been greatly rectified. 】

[At the same time, the frontier defense of the Ming Dynasty was further consolidated, and the national fiscal revenue also increased rapidly. 】

[This stage, known in history as the Wanli New Deal, was later known as the "dazzling twilight" in the late Ming Dynasty. 】

【Can……】

[All of this, but with the passing of Zhang Juzheng, great changes have taken place! 】

………………

As the voice of the narrator fell, the picture in the video changed again.

………………

[On June [*], Wanli tenth year, Zhang Juzheng passed away. 】

[And after his death, Zhu Yijun's expanding ambitions were out of control. 】

[Under the suppression of Zhang Juzheng in the past, Zhu Yijun had to strictly demand himself all the time in order to meet the other party's requirement of becoming a good emperor. 】

[So after his death, Zhu Yijun, who lost his restraints, immediately let go of himself! 】

[Idle in politics, debauchery, obsessed with the harem all day long and not asking about political affairs! 】

[And this... is precisely what those who are ill-intentioned like most! 】

[Intellectuals and feudal landlords, whose interests were damaged by the Wanli New Deal reform, joined forces to launch endless pressure on Zhu Yijun. 】

[On June [*]th of the tenth year of Wanli, which is the fourth day after Zhang Juzheng passed away, Pan Sheng, whom he once promoted, was impeached and dismissed by a group of ministers. 】

[Then the officials pointed their finger at Zhang Juzheng. 】

[Wanli also ordered the search of his home in revenge, depriving Zhang Juzheng of all his glory before his death, and even nearly opened the coffin and whipped the corpse. Most of his family members starved to death even before being exiled. 】

[The successor first assistant Zhang Siwei originally opposed the reform, and other courtiers also had deep grievances with Zhang Juzheng. 】

[Under their joint efforts, most of Zhang Juzheng's reform measures were abolished. 】

[As a result, the hope of Daming's last revival was dashed. 】

[King Qin Huiwen car split Shang Yang, but continued to use Shang Yang's method, so the Qin state was strong; Wanli liquidated Zhang Juzheng, and at the same time abolished Zhang Juzheng's method, and the beginning of Ming Dynasty was about to die. 】

[As a student of Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun has a high IQ and especially loves history, so what did he learn from it? 】

[The technique of checks and balances, restricting factory guards, and caring about the military...]

[Emperor Wanli did not have the strength of Jiajing, let alone the gentleness of Longqing. 】

[You must know that literati have formed parties since ancient times, and the Wanli Dynasty was no exception. 】

[Around the case of the Li Chu and the false king of Chu, the courtiers and Chinese officials fought in a group based on similarities and differences in their positions, forming the Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Qi Party and other factions. 】

[So much so that ministers who were keen on party struggle began to oppose it for the sake of opposition, and fewer and fewer people were dedicated to the country.Especially in the late Wanli period, the court party struggle intensified. 】

[This is also one of the most important factors in the demise of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[And Zhu Yijun, after being emperor for a few years, was constrained by the civil servants everywhere, so he suddenly woke up. 】

[In the past, Zhang Juzheng was blocking him, so he could sit back and relax. 】

[But now, Zhang Juzheng is dead, and the pressure naturally comes to him. 】

[This is undoubtedly a headache for the inexperienced Zhu Yijun. 】

[After thinking about this, he suddenly woke up.But he had no better way to deal with the fact that the Manchu civil servants were in a group and the party struggle was fierce. 】

[Under the circumstances that many measures were not implemented smoothly, Zhu Yijun was disheartened and thought he was not the opponent of the civil service group, but there was no good way. 】

[Simply abandoning himself, ignoring the political affairs, and starting his career of not going to the court for more than [*] years. 】

【Fortunately...】

[As a student that Zhang Juzheng carefully nurtured, Zhu Yijun is not without countermeasures! 】

Chapter 131: The Three Great Expeditions of Wanli?The majestic Zhu Yijun

As the voice in the video fell, the picture in the video changed again.

Lens,

Once again, I came to the vast and boundless grassland outside the Ming Dynasty.

After a burst of selfless screams from the soldiers, the silent narration sounded again.

Along with the narration, the pictures in the video also changed rapidly.

………………

[Although Zhu Yijun was reluctant to face those civilian officials, he was still very tight on military power. 】

[Because he understands...]

[If you don't go to court, you will be scolded by the civil officials at most, but if you lose military power...]

【therefore! 】

[In the years when he did not go to court, Zhu Yijun still declared his existence with a few victories! 】

[In the [*]th year of Wanli alone, the Ming Dynasty fought two wars. 】

[First, the Battle of Ningxia. 】

[The Mongolian Tatars are deeply flattered and flattered by the squatting spring protection, the Wei changed the Tan 渫 governor, and the ills were inherited. The father and son expanded themselves because of their merits. 】

[Patrol Dangxin suppressed him, but he didn't expect that he would be so shameless and arrogant that Tan Jibei would say that he would talk about crows and Zhangsi. Ji Nai Si  annoyed! ?/p>

[Since then, the father and son took Ningxia as their stronghold, built many surrounding cities, and exchanged high profits for the help of Mongolian tribes in the Hetao area. 】

[At this critical moment, Wanli defied all opinions and used his beloved general Li Rusong as the general soldier of Ningxia. 】

[And Li Rusong did not disappoint. 】

[He first attacked foreign aid, destroyed the Mongolian army camp, and then chased the remnants to Helan Mountain, driving the enemy out of the fortress.Various Ming armies surrounded Ningxia and planned to flood the city with water. 】

[In this case, the rebels in the city were isolated and helpless, and after running out of ammunition and food, the army was distracted, causing a serious fire breakout inside. 】

[One month later, Li Rusong broke through the city of Ningxia, and Baoyu Chengen was captured, and the battle of Ningxia was settled. 】

………………

Speaking of which, the picture in the sky is everything again, and I came to the Yalu River.

"This, this is... Japanese chaos?"

Seeing a group of pirates dressed as ronin in the picture, burning, killing and looting in the surrounding towns and villages, doing all kinds of evil, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty frowned.

When did the Japanese pirates come to the north?

Just when Zhu Di was full of doubts, the narration in the video sounded again.

………………

[The Imchen Japanese Rebellion began almost at the same time as the Battle of Ningxia. 】

[In April of the twentieth year of Wanli, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had just unified the Japanese state, invaded the whole country with troops from all over the country. 】

[The vulnerable *** was powerless to resist, and instantly lost most of the country's land. 】

[The king, Li Song, fled to the Yalu River in a panic and asked Daming for help. 】

[And... *** monarchs and ministers have not figured out the number of Japanese invaders from beginning to end. 】

[In July, they provided information that the enemy had a thousand people.But it was only when the first rescue force of the Ming Dynasty, more than [*] people, attacked Pyongyang, that it was discovered that there were tens of thousands of Japanese pirates. 】

[For this reason, the advance troops of the Ming Army suffered heavy losses. 】

………………

As the voice of the video fell, the screen turned to the imperial palace in Beijing.

Wanli, who had not been to court for a long time, was sitting on the dragon chair at this time.

Below him, countless ministers stood in a row.

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Siwei stood up first, and said with a slightly sad expression:

"That *** country has ulterior motives and misreported the military situation, causing more than half of my Ming soldiers to be damaged."

"The minister asked to recall the aid army and sign a peace agreement with the Japanese country. Since then, the two have nothing to do with each other."

"Besides..."

Seeing that Zhu Yijun seemed unmoved, Zhang Siwei added:
