You will understand that great thinkers like Huang Zongxi, Gu and Wang Fuzhi in the late Ming Dynasty were really not rootless trees. It can even be said that these three people are just scales and claws that survived after the killing of the Qing Dynasty.
Mathematically, mathematicians in China in the Ming Dynasty invented the derivative before Newton, and only recently did they re-recognize the significance of this mathematical classic.
In industry, coal mining technology is also ahead of the world. For example, coal mine gas drainage technology was introduced to the west from China, and the discovery of zinc and the smelting of zinc-copper alloy were unique technologies in China at that time.
Scientifically, a large number of top scientists emerged at the end of the Ming Dynasty, such as pestilence, geology, biology, physics and so on.
In the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Zu and Tang Xuanzong personally led troops to the Northern Expedition. Ming Wuzong even personally went into battle to kill Mongolian soldiers.
The Ming Dynasty also fought against western countries, British ships were shelled by the Ming army, and both the Portuguese navy and the Ming army navy were defeated.
Ming Chengzu went to Mongolia five times, each time with an army of 500 thousand, and there was an endless supply of rations, which was impossible in other dynasties
It's interesting to say. At that time, the most powerful people in Mongolia were Tatars and Warras. Interestingly, Ming Chengzu attacked him and saw which one became stronger.
At first, the Tatars were stronger than the Walla people, so Ming Chengzu attacked the Tatars when he first went to Mongolia. As a result, Tatar was frightened out of my wits and his strength suddenly weakened. As a result, Wala began to occupy a dominant position in the struggle between Wala and Tatar. When Emperor Chengzu saw Wala, it was possible to unify Mongolia.
Then I made a personal expedition to Mongolia for the second time, and as a result, I beat Vara to the shit. In this way, the strength of Vala was weakened again, and the Tatars began to gain the upper hand again, and they were not so tame and obedient. So Ming Chengzu made a personal expedition for the third time. As a result, the Tatar ran away this time, and he didn't dare to fight the Ming army at all. He even fled to the north.
In the history of China, neither the Han Dynasty nor the Tang Dynasty, nor the Huns or Turks have occupied such a great advantage. The Huns and Turks can basically fight some battles with the armies of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
In the Ming dynasty, the Mongolian army was defeated and fled by the Ming army, which was unprecedented since ancient times. At that time, the powerful national power of the Ming Dynasty could continue to launch a personal expedition against Mongolia from the side of Ming Chengzu, with 500,000 each time, and continue to conquer Vietnam on the other side, catching the leader who rebelled in Vietnam every time, as if Zhang Fu of the Ming Dynasty was particularly powerful. He won almost every battle in Vietnam, and every time he rebelled in Vietnam, he was sent to put down the rebellion. However, because the Ming army did not use the method of killing the city like those inhuman executioners in the Qing Dynasty, the resistance of the Vietnamese people never stopped. Later, the Ming government gave up its direct rule over Vietnam in order to save its life. However, the Ming Dynasty was able to launch a large-scale war on both sides of the North and South at the same time, and both won, which showed that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was strong at that time. Not only that, the Ming Dynasty not only provided large-scale wars at the same time, but also carried out large-scale construction activities (its scale was much stricter than that of the Qin Shihuang period). For example, in order to move the capital, the Forbidden City and the imperial city of Beijing were all built in the Ming Dynasty, and all the Forbidden Cities we see now were built in the Ming Dynasty.
