| | | | Ming Dynasty - Commerce Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Ming Dynasty - Decline of the Ming Yongle Emperor being a warrior, was able to maintain the foreign policy of his father.

| | | | Ming Dynasty - Commerce Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Ming Dynasty - Origins The Mongol Yuan Dynasty ruled before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. During the rule, the Mongols' discrimination against the Han Chinese is often considered the primary cause for the end of Yuan rule in China. This finally led to a peasant revolt that pushed the Yuan dynasty back to the Mongolian steppes. Other causes include collusion with Tibetan llamas in depriving Chinese of their lands, paper currency over-circulation, which caused inflation to go up ten-fold during Yuan Emperor Shundi's reign, and the flooding of the Yellow Riv ...

| | | | Ming Dynasty - Commerce Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Ming Dynasty - Ming military conquests The beginning of the Ming dynasty was one of Ming military conquests as they sought to perpetuate their hold on power.
Early in his reign the first Ming emperor Zhu Yuanzhang provided instructions as injunctions to later generations. These instructions included the advice that those countries to the north were dangerous and posed a threat to the Ming polity and those to the south did not.Furthermore he stated that those to the south, not constituting a threat, were not to be subject to attack.

| | | | Ming Dynasty - Commerce Revolution: Encyclopedia II - Ming Dynasty - Agricultural Revolution Historians consider the Hongwu emperor to be one of the greatest emperors of China. From the start of his rule, he took great care to distribute land to small farmers. It seems to have been his policy to favor the poor, whom he tried to help to support themselves and their families. For instance, in 1370, an order was given that some land in Hunan and Anhui should be distributed to young farmers who had reached manhood. To preclude the absorption of this land by unscrupulous landlords, it was announced that the title to it was not transferab ...

Between 1405 and 1433, Ming emperors sent seven maritime expeditions probing down into the South Seas and across the Indian Ocean.
