The Song Dynasty was different from Li Qing's thinking about the army while implementing the new policy over the years, so the Song Dynasty was destroyed.

After repeatedly failing to reflect on the battlefield due to the problem of ineffective force, the rulers of the Song Dynasty did not seem to reflect on this issue. They did not even have a strong sense of crisis, and were addicted to prosperity, political decay, and greed enjoyment.

The powerful enemies in the north tear open the borders of the Song Dynasty again and again, and they could only send their wealth out again and again to seek peace.

Throughout the history of the Song Dynasty, economic prosperity and northern aggression were accompanied by it until the end of the complete destruction of the Song Dynasty.

Their demise left a deep lesson for Li Neng: Prosperity cannot be strong.

The result of this story was a little simpler, but it was also very clear that he expressed his meaning very clearly.

What surprised them was that after the example was finished, Li Qing talked about a dynasty with a completely opposite personality to this dynasty, but their endings were the same.

Moreover, the reason for the demise of this dynasty that Li Yan mentioned next sounds much more complicated than the one before.

Li Yan said a rather obscure statement: The political system since the ancient times of the Six Dynasties that used the state's coercive force as a guarantee, forcibly controlling the people, restricting people's migration, choosing jobs, and developing on the basis of small peasant economy is no longer suitable for the development of the Tang Dynasty.

The dynasty mentioned by Li Nian is naturally the Ming Dynasty.

The political system of the early Ming Dynasty established by the Ming Taizu restricted his people to the greatest extent. Theoretically, every Ming people's ending from their birth can be expected. You will be a military clerk and the civilian clerk will be farming and paying taxes. Just like the past of Zhu Yuanzhang's parents in the Great Yuan Dynasty, and it is exactly the same as the generation of the Edo Shogunate of Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who divided people into four levels and each class of people inherited their father's business and eliminated the first movement of social classes.

This system was simply used exclusively for small countries in ancient times, but it was not suitable for a Ming Dynasty with at least 60 million people and later a population of over 100 million. The vast territory and huge population base made the management difficulty exponentially increasing, which put forward new requirements for the rulers of the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty can actually be explained from this perspective. The Ming Dynasty did not perish because of unchanging, but because of insufficient reform.

Many people in Li Ren's previous life sighed at the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and they all said anything.

Some people swear to say that the dynasty is destroyed by party struggles. There are party struggles in all dynasties and generations. Moreover, in order to stabilize his position, the emperor artificially created party struggles to achieve balance and stability in the court situation. Therefore, in a sense, party struggles will not only not destroy the world, but will instead stabilize the rule of the monarch.

Some people also said that the Chao was destroyed by the Factory Guard. The Dongchang and the Jinyiwei were born to strengthen the imperial power. The Dongchang and the Jinyiwei were not as exaggerated as described in the film and television. The Factory Guard only supervises illegal officials and has no conflict with the people, so it means that the Chao was destroyed by the Factory Guard is a joke.

In the end, what is relatively reliable is that some people explain that the dynasty was destroyed by the dictatorship of eunuchs. Did eunuchs have dictatorship of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty? It seems that since the middle of Wanli, the status of eunuchs declined. Some people say that Wei Zhongxian was indeed domineering, but Emperor Tianqi used Wei Zhongxian to deal with the Donglin Party. Therefore, no matter how domineering Wei Zhongxian was, the universe was also controlled by Tianqi.

The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the three major dynasties of Wanli. Which dynasty did not have frequent wars? Are there fewer wars in Liaodong between Tianqi and Chongzhen? During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, so many small countries were engaged in wars every year, month and day, and no country was seen to finish it because of war. The three major dynasties of Wanli consumed millions of taels of silver, and the treasury consumed by Wanli was taken out from the inner court. Can millions of taels of silver be finished in the Ming Dynasty? That is quite ridiculous.

Some people also said that the dynasty was destroyed by Shenzong and did not attend court. If Shenzong did not attend court, the world would be destroyed? The civil service system of the Ming Dynasty was already very complete. The emperor did not manage government affairs, and the Ming Dynasty was still operating. Moreover, all major events in the Wanli Dynasty were carried out under the leadership of Shenzong, and Shenzong did not completely ignore government affairs.

There are also people who talk about climate, which shows that the dynasty was in the small ice age with the climate in the northern hemisphere. The seventy-year-old climate ice age led to the reduction of grain production in the north, the epidemic, and the increase in the number of disaster victims in the late Ming Dynasty. But is this the fundamental reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty? No. We must know that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's Chengzu Zhu Di period was also in the climate ice age of the northern hemisphere. The disaster in the north was also very serious, but it was all over because of the government's relief and the government's control was strong at that time.

Li Qing did not agree with these statements, and he could agree with several other reasons.

The civil servant group was too powerful and the imperial power was suppressed. In fact, after Yan Song's death, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were always a solid piece of the imperial court, and the emperor could no longer be divided and controlled. The Wanli did not attend court. It was precisely because of this that the Wanli court was the case, and the same thing was the case if they did not attend court. These civil servants who believed in Neo-Confucianism and mind had a fanaticism similar to religion and despised all those who were not from the imperial examination. They controlled the government affairs and suppressed the imperial power. They were not afraid of bloodshed and sacrificed for their beliefs and dogmas. The direct result was that the emperor was helpless. In addition, they only knew empty talk and fired firecrackers.

Hai Rui set an example for them. Once the imperial power was suppressed, the policies formulated by the state were not considered from the overall perspective, but from the interests of the civil servant group, that is, from the interests of the bourgeoisie. The civil servant group of the Ming Dynasty was the representative of the bourgeoisie in Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty. Because the Ming Taizu was born in a miserable and well-known to the people's conditions, and after the war in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, everything was in trouble, so Taizu and the people were in recuperating. The direct result was that the taxes of the Ming Dynasty were always very low (Huang Renyu's viewpoint), and the commercial tax was even lower, so the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty was always very difficult.

After listing these things to his confidants, everyone immediately remained silent.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty is ultimately because of the prosperity of recent years that the civil servants have made the power of civil servants much greater than before. The power of civil servants is too great, and the result is that there are fewer military generals and fewer young people practicing martial arts, because everyone understands that since there is no longer any need to fight, what's the use of practicing martial arts?

"Your Majesty, I understand. If I want to develop in the Tang Dynasty, I still need to learn from history!"

"Your Majesty, I will definitely make those weapons in the Tang Dynasty, but the day it is made is the time when my Tang Dynasty soldiers are proficient!"

"Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty will usher in strength in prosperity. No tribe can break through the defense line of our Tang Dynasty!"

After Li Qing talked about it for so long, everyone finally began to express their opinions, and their statement was exactly what Li Qing wanted to see at this time.
