This problem... can be said to be gone. It’s not that it basically doesn’t exist, but it definitely doesn’t exist!

After all, you pointed a knife at me, I can only say you are handsome against my will! What else could I do?

Speaking of the Ming Dynasty's "no land, no marriage, no surrender, no tribute, the emperor guards the country, the king dies", Jingye Shi has analyzed this issue many times in previous articles nature.

The so-called "not ceding territory" is because of voluntarily giving up; the so-called "not getting married" is because the other party is interested in money and not the princess; the so-called "not professing vassalage" is because the other party is not a unified political power and does not care about the dispensable reputation. No.; the so-called "not paying tribute" is because the other party came directly to rob it; as for "the emperor guards the country's gate", before Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, the Ming Dynasty had Kaiping Guards and other guards north of the Great Wall. Beijing was not the country's gate, but the rear area. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that Emperor Xuanzong retreated to the Great Wall that Beijing became the "gateway of the country"; the so-called "king died in the country" was because the aristocrats' aloofness hindered Chongzhen's desire to live. It was not that he didn't want to but that he couldn't! Chongzhen was never willing to hang himself!

Since the Song Dynasty, "harmony" and "profession" have become obsolete, and they are still used to brag, just like saying that today's young people are not interested in the valuable eldest brother of the past. Those who parade around on the market with this old antique are really mentally ill;

If it’s just old wine in new bottles, the key point is that there are people who turn shortcomings into advantages. Obviously they can’t escape, unless they say it is The ruler is possessed by courage. If Ming Renzong could live a few more months, the capital of Ming Dynasty would return to Nanjing. If the self-proclaimed Donglin Party hadn't stopped him, Chongzhen would have gone to Nanjing. Did you ask Chongzhen for his opinion if you let him die in Beijing?

Here, Jing Yeshi thought of a very famous advertising slogan. It was a mobile phone named after one of the five grains. The advertising slogan was also very classic: "Born for Fever"! It is obvious that the problem of CPU heating was not overcome in the early stage. If they concentrate on improving it, consumers will not blame it, but they still shamelessly turn the problem into an advantage. Do they think that consumers are all stupid?

What is even more interesting is that this famous parallel sentence "The emperor guards the country, the king dies in the country" was actually uttered by Yan Chongnian, the "pure fan" who was criticized by many people. This is strange. You obviously want this guy to die immediately, but you use his words as famous quotes. Driving a Japanese car to boycott Japanese goods, Jingye Shi really doesn’t know how to describe it!

In a previous article, Jingye Shi analyzed: As an ordinary feudal dynasty in the history of our country, the Ming Dynasty did not have many special features, simply because it was followed by the Qing Dynasty and before it was the Qing Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty lifted the Ming Dynasty to the top of the mountain, and finally fell down. The only one who was embarrassed was himself.

As for the famous sentence "If you don't cede territory, don't make peace, don't claim vassal status, don't pay tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die.", Jingye Shi can only say that the Ming Dynasty definitely had the integrity. This is undeniable, but it is not worth bragging about for future generations. After all: marriage is not always humiliating

As a diplomatic means from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, marriage is not always humiliating. Although the Han Dynasty made peace with the Xiongnu many times in the early stage, the purpose was to be proud of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, the marriage began to become equal. The Tang Dynasty's marriage with the Tibetans and the Uighurs strengthened the connection between the two regimes. For the Tang Dynasty, For North Korea, there is much less humiliation. By the time the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia made peace, it was directly in the form of mutual marriage.

To sum up, as a diplomatic means between the Central Plains dynasties and the frontiers, marriage deepened the connection between the two to a certain extent and provided more time and space for the Central Plains dynasties; ceding territory does not always mean incompetence

In the era of the weak and the strong, the winner is king, and the loser has to pay a huge price, such as land, so ceding land is an inevitable process in the process of historical development. The loser can use the ceding of territory to delay the enemy's attack, and wait until the strength recovers to defeat the opponent again and take back the land.

Simply using one or two failures as a manifestation of incompetence is not comprehensive. Proclaiming one's vassal and paying tribute is not always despicable

When one's strength is insufficient, it is not only necessary but also necessary to profess one's vassal and pay tribute. For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, the purpose of professing vassalage to the Turks was not to make the Turks their fathers, but to be their fathers. Sure enough, after more than ten years of keeping a low profile, the Tang Dynasty wiped out the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop, completely erasing the humiliation of paying tribute.

Tolerance is for later development. As long as there is a successful result, no one will pay attention to the humiliation.
