The background of the rebellion of luxury and security occurred in the apocalypse period of the Ming Dynasty, which was a very important historical event in the history of the Ming Dynasty. The chaos of luxury and security brought great social changes to the society at that time, put great pressure on the people's lives at that time and hindered the rule of the royal family. So, what is the background of luxury and chaos?

The chaos of luxury and security should also start from the social situation in the late Ming Dynasty. At first, the rule of the Ming Dynasty was relatively clear. Politically, it works for the people's welfare, and economically, it also pays attention to recuperation. However, in the later period of the rule, some social disadvantages began to appear, mainly in the people's living standards. Officials in charge of people's lives not only failed to benefit the people, but also squeezed the people in many places and made them complain.

The contradiction between the ruling class and ethnic minority areas is another manifestation of the background of luxury and security chaos. In the border areas of the Ming Dynasty, many ethnic groups and local governments had disputes over land issues, which led to perennial wars in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty and aggravated the military service of local people. Faced with years of war and exploitation by rulers, people's lives are in trouble.

Under this historical background, the chaos of luxury goods and safety broke out. At that time, the Yi chieftains Chongming and Anbang Yan took a fancy to this opportunity and began to make trouble in their respective territories. This melee lasted for 17 years, and the power of the Ming Dynasty was consumed by perennial battles. In this war, many soldiers lost their lives and normal social production was interrupted, which also heralded the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the chaos of luxury and security, the Ming society developed to the later stage, and many problems appeared in society. Within the ruling class, the inaction of officials is the biggest problem, while in the border areas, ethnic minorities and those in power are constantly arguing over a series of issues such as land, which gives lawless elements an opportunity. Under such historical conditions, the chaos of luxury and security broke out. The chaos of luxury and security had a great influence on the society at that time, so many people were concerned about the outcome of the chaos of luxury and security.

After seventeen years of counter-insurgency, the chaos of luxury and security finally ended. In this war, the Ming Dynasty sacrificed millions of soldiers, including many excellent generals. Several governors in Sichuan and Yunnan were killed in the war, and this area has been plagued by war all the year round, making normal production difficult and affecting people's living standards.

In the decisive battle, a * * * killed more than 30,000 rebels and captured a large number of enemy troops. Chen Chongming and his son, the main leader of the rebels, were injured and fled in the war, which also accelerated the end of the war, and Anbang Yan's army was also repelled in the war. For the rulers of the Ming dynasty, the result of the chaos of luxury and security well maintained their rule and allowed the Ming dynasty to continue to exist.

After the war, in order to restore the economy and production destroyed by the war, the Ming Dynasty took a series of measures to encourage production in the rebel areas. In order to prevent the recurrence of the war and completely eliminate the remnants of the rebels, the Ming Dynasty abolished the Fu Xuan Department of Shuining and reformed the local regulatory agencies, which enabled the Yunnan-Guizhou region to recover rapidly after the war.
