Zhengtong Emperor: Encyclopedia - Oyirad

The Oyirad (also spelled Oirat or Oyrat) is another name for the Kalmyk (Kalmyk: Хальмгуд, Russian: Калмыки) people. The name Oyirad may derive from a corruption of the group's original name Dörvn Öörd, meaning "The Allied Four." Perhaps inspired by the designation Dörvn Öörd, other Mongols at times used the term "Döchin Mongols" for themselves ("Döchin" meaning forty), but there was rarely as great a degree of unity among larger numbers of tribes as among the Oyirad. Oy ...

Yongle Emperor being a warrior, was able to maintain the foreign policy of his father. However, Yongle successors attached little importance to foreign affairs and this lead to deterioration of the army. Annam regained its independence in 1427 and in the north the mongols quickly regained their strength. Starting around 1445, the Oirat Horde became a military threat under their new leader Esen Taiji. The Zhengtong Emperor personally led a punitive campaign against the Horde but the mission turned into a disaster as the Chinese army was anihi ...

After the Ming army defeat at Battle of tumu and later raids by the Mongols under a new leader, Altan Khan, the Ming adopted a new strategy for dealing with the northern horsemen: a big wall.

The fall of the Ming Dynasty was a protracted affair, its roots beginning as early as 1600 with the emergence of the Manchu state under Nurhaci.

Zhengtong Emperor: 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 ...

Zhengtong Emperor: Encyclopedia II - Ming Dynasty - Commerce Revolution

Hong Wu's prejudice against the merchant class did not diminish the numbers of traders. On the contrary, commerce was on much greater scale than in previous centuries and continued to increase, as the growing industries needed the cooperation of the merchants. Poor soil in some provinces and over-population were key forces that led many to enter the trade markets. A book called "Tu pien hsin shu" gives a detailed description about the activities of mechants at that time. In the end, the Hong Wu policy of banning trade only acted to hinder th ...

Zhengtong Emperor: Encyclopedia II - Chenghua Emperor - Legacy

Emperor Chenghua's reign can be distinguished by his early attempts to reform the government and trying his best to rule the country. His reign also saw a cultural flourishing with famous Ming personnel such as Hu Juren and Chen Baisha dominating the academic scene. However Chenghua's reign was prone to dominating individuals in the government and Chenghua was easily influenced into granting favours based on who he likes rather than their abilities. This led to the degradation at the ruling class and wasteful spending by corrupt individuals which eventually ...

Zhengtong Emperor: 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 ...
