Emperor Wanli completely got rid of the shackles of Zhang and began his dictatorship. Wanli is greedy for money and has all kinds of tax items. Nothing is taxed, and land is not taxed. More oppressive than a tiger. Emperor Wanli lived a luxurious life and began to build the Wanshou Palace for himself at the age of 20. Wanli was lazy and didn't go to Korea for 28 years, singing "Nothing is difficult in the world, nothing is impossible to a willing mind". The yamen is seriously short of staff, but the alternate officials are not promoted, so that they are on standby for life. Therefore, later generations commented that "the death of Ming was not caused by the immorality of Chongzhen, but by laziness." There are three major events in the dynasty, namely, aiding Korea, nation-state struggle and resisting violence. Let me start with aid to North Korea. If Emperor Wanli did anything good after Zhang's death, it was to reinforce North Korea. At that time, Japan was in a period of reunification after division. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the then ruler, unified Japan, he pointed his finger at North Korea, which was originally a vassal of China. Emperor Wanli attached great importance to this and resolutely decided to send troops to help. As soon as the Ming army arrived in Korea, it dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese aggressors and successively recovered Pyongyang, Kaesong and Pyongyang, which reflected the indomitable fighting spirit of the Ming army and won this tough battle in one fell swoop. However, the Japanese army soon became too angry, the Ming army was blocked from moving forward, and the two sides entered a confrontation situation. At that time, due to the unstable domestic situation and huge military expenditure, the Japanese side also wanted to return to China for rectification, so the two sides quickly reached a peace agreement and went on strike. Who knows that the Japanese have always broken their word and launched a war three years later. At this time, Emperor Wanli, like a generation of British lords, resolutely sent troops again. Originally stingy, he also spent a lot of money this time and sent a lot of money and food to the Korean battlefield. However, the Japanese invasion was well prepared, and the Ming army had no advantage on the battlefield. Apart from sporadic small victories, it is difficult to achieve great achievements. Fortunately, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, and the Japanese generals led their troops back to China to seize territory. The Korean War ended with the Ming army winning without fighting. Anyway, Emperor Wanli is in charge of this matter. Let's start with the struggle between countries. When Wanli was young, she occasionally went to her mother's bedroom and found a very lovely maid-in-waiting. So in private, who knows, the maid-in-waiting is pregnant with the dragon seed. Wanli's mother is a palace maid. Therefore, the maid is not embarrassed. But let Wanli make him a princess, conceive in October and give birth to a prince. He is Zhu Changluo, the emperor of Wanli. On the other hand, Zheng Guifei, the imperial concubine who worshiped officials at that time, was the confidant of Emperor Wanli, and Zheng Guifei was the master of inviting pets, which made a Emperor Wanli swoon and do whatever he wanted. There is also a son, Zhu. The child is also very cute and comes from a good family. Encouraged by Zheng Guifei, Emperor Wanli always wanted him to be a prince, so he came up with various methods, but he was strongly opposed by honest ministers. At that time, the prince was also called Guo Ben. Therefore, this kind of struggle between the emperor and the minister is also called a national disaster. The Sino-Japanese dispute is another large-scale conflict between the emperor and ministers after the "Great Gift" in Jiajing Dynasty, but the winners this time should be the ministers, because Zhu Changluo was enthroned after all. Bang-bangstorm can be said to have evolved from the struggle between countries. He was also Zheng Guifei's last desperate attack to let his son inherit the throne. The power of the minister prevailed in the struggle between countries. Zheng Guifei was so anxious that he sent his trusted eunuch to hire someone to assassinate the prince. The name of the person employed is Zhang Cha. With the cooperation of the eunuch, he arrived at the door of the prince's bedroom and was killed with a wooden stick. This is the famous explosion. The above is just
In July of the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli ended his contradictory life. As a master of English, with the help of Zhang, he made the economy of the Ming Dynasty prosperous as never before. He is notorious for his profligacy and extortion. At the age of 58, he finally returned to heaven, and he finally got rid of the inner struggle between good and evil. Why did Emperor Wanli of Ming Dynasty love Zheng Guifei all his life? Who's Zheng Guifei? I believe many people don't know. The only thing they know is that she is a concubine of the Ming Dynasty, based on her title. But when it comes to the famous emperor Wanli, everyone knows. Emperor Wanli became famous not because this man ruled the country, but because he was called a generation monarch. In a sense, the decline of the Ming Dynasty began with this man. However, a famous historian, Chinese-American Huang Renyu, published a book "Fifteen Years of Wanli", which made Emperor Wanli, that is, Zhu Yijun, famous all over the world and almost became another enlightened founder after Zhu Yuanzhang and Judy. Emperor Wanli's fame lies in his unprecedented achievement, that is, he did something that the emperor should not have done for 33 years. Why is this happening? So our hero appeared, in which Zheng Guifei played a very important role. This ordinary woman, who is four years younger than Wanli, met Wanli at the age of 14, and immediately moved Wanli at the age of 18, and dedicated her life to this woman. Zheng Guifei is really a strange girl. In fact, today, history books
Zheng Guifei loves reading, is smart, alert and decisive, and understands the mind of Emperor Wanli. This made Wanli inseparable from her in spirit, so she treasured it all her life. Of course, sometimes we assume history. If Zhu Neng is made a prince, Emperor Wanli will still go to court every day, and at the same time, he will love him alone. Maybe there will be another example in history when empresses are in power. So what is the history of the Ming dynasty, there will be more opportunities to express different opinions. Of course, history cannot be assumed. When Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, the lecherous emperor died after only one month in office. His son Zhu Youxiao is a born carpenter. It is a historical mistake that he became a prince and an emperor. Then, Zhu Youxiao's younger brother Zhu Youjian, a suspicious man, eventually led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
