no cause and effect @beastieman21
I know this is not cause and effect,but I hope it helps One of the remarkable accomplishments of the Ming Dynasty was the great reconstruction works of the new Capital Beijing and the refurbishing and extension of the Great Wall. While the Great Wall had been built in earlier times, most of what is seen today was either built or repaired by the Ming. The brick and granite work was enlarged, the watch towers were redesigned and cannons were placed along its length. The Ming Dynasty era is considered by Chinese historians as one of China's most prosperous. China under the banner of the Mandate of Heaven and a Chinese Emperor embraced the Neo-Confucian philosophies of the past and gave tremendous support of the peasantry that in turn created an agrarian-centered based society. This era of Chinese history was a stable period with a rapidly expanding population that numbered some 100 million. During the Ming Dynasty incredible advances in the sciences and arts were achieved giving the Chinese great pride and self confidence with the knowledge that that they had created the most advanced civilization on earth. In the closing years of the Ming, great military campaigns of conquest were launched, the long wars with the Mongols, repeated attacks on Chinese controlled Korea by the Japanese, and Japanese attacks on Chinese coastal cities greatly hurt the economy of the Ming. A very dangerous and risky military campaign to conquer Vietnam caused tremendous increases in taxes that exploited the masses. Many peasants had to abandoned their lands due to the high taxes and servitude to the greedy landowners. A great agrarian economic crisis that lead to a peasant uprising in 1627 gave way to the social conditions that led to the conquest of the Ming by the Manchurians. The Ming Dynasty was the last native Chinese..... http://www.thejadetrade.com/ian/p8e.html One of Yung-lo's major undertakings was to incorporate the states of South and Southeast Asia into China's tribute system. This tribute system was based on the overlord-vassal relationship between the ruler of China and the rulers of other countries expressed by the traditional "culturalism" that saw China as the largest and oldest state in the world. As such China was viewed as the "parent state" of all other kingdoms and the source of civilisation in general. The Son of Heaven (the emperor) affected a paternal interest in the orderly government of the tributary states by confirming the succession of new rulers, sometimes offering military protection against attack, and usually conferring the boon of trade with China. http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/t...
