I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[Let's talk about the power of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty. ]

[In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the princes to guard the border. ]

[Many people here have a misunderstanding that these princes hold heavy troops and have great power. ]

[Not really. ]

[Zhu Yuanzhang actually had strict restrictions on the princes. ]

[For example, the army, each prince's army is divided into two types, one is the garrison troops under the management of the court, and the other is the guards, that is, the prince's guards, under the control of the prince. ]

[Among them, the troops belonging to the court are far more than the military forces directly controlled by the prince. ]

[And even if it is the guard of the palace, its guard commander is also sent by the court, and then it can be inherited. ]

[But even if it can be inherited, the court can dispatch and use it at any time, and it is unconditional. 】

[For example, during the Jianwen period, before dealing with Zhu Di, the imperial court also clipped his wings first, and first transferred Zhu Di's guards to the border defense, so that when Zhu Di started the Jingnan Rebellion, he only had 800 guards guarding the palace. 】

[So Zhu Di was able to succeed in the Jingnan Rebellion. His personal ability was one aspect, but he also had to consider the luck bonus, and it was the kind of bonus of 70% or more. 】

……

The plane of Taizu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao sighed in their hearts almost at the same time.

"Zhu Yunwen is really a waste!"

They really couldn't understand how Zhu Yunwen lost in this situation?

……

The plane of Chengzu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di was also quite emotional.

During the Jingnan Rebellion, he was really walking on thin ice.

It was indeed a stroke of luck that he was able to win in the end.

For example, he happened to meet an opponent like Zhu Yunwen, which was undoubtedly a huge stroke of luck.

……

[After Zhu Di’s rebellion, the power and wealth of the royal family were constantly eroded: the power of the kings to command the army was returned to the central government, it was forbidden to interfere in local administration, the royal family was forbidden to leave the city and meet the two kings, and it was not allowed to come to Beijing to report on affairs or take the imperial examination to enter the government. ]

[Basically, they were kept as idle people. ]

The barrage flew out:

“In fact, if the Ming Dynasty had opened the Age of Exploration, it would be better to send all these princes out to explore the world.”

“Reply——This is reliable. Instead of letting these princes eat and wait for death in the Ming Dynasty, it is better to send them all out.”

“…”

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

This was also part of his plan.

……

[The last Qing Dynasty. ]

[The Qing Dynasty is indeed very controversial and unpopular. ]

[But objectively speaking, the imperial clan system of the Qing Dynasty did summarize the lessons learned from previous dynasties and has its merits. ]

……

Hearing this.

Many emperors of the many dynasties before the Qing Dynasty became interested.

They wanted to see what was special about the imperial clan management system of the Qing Dynasty?

……

[After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, in order to prevent the situation of excessive royal titles like the Ming Dynasty, a special system of descending titles and a part of the hereditary system were formulated in parallel. ]

[When the Qing army entered the pass, several princes and dukes with outstanding military achievements had the right to inherit the title without any change, that is, they did not have to lower their titles to inherit. They were Prince Li, Prince Rui, Prince Yu, Prince Su, Prince Zheng, Prince Zhuang, Prince Keqin, and Prince Shuncheng. ]

[These eight direct descendants of the royal family enjoyed the hereditary title of king. ]

[Later, four more princes were treated like this for their meritorious service in assisting the emperor and the empress dowager. They were Prince Yi, Prince Gong, Prince Chun, and Prince Qing. ]

[These twelve people are commonly known as "iron hat kings". ]

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's eyes were filled with thought.

That is to say, in the Qing Dynasty, only these twelve titles could be inherited.

The rest of the titles needed to be "demoted".

How was this "demoted" done?

Li Shimin continued to look at the giant screen in the sky.

……

[But even so, except for the legitimate son, the rest of their descendants still had to inherit the title by demotion like other clan members, that is, the title would be degraded by one level each time it was inherited. ]

[The specific demotion procedure is: the prince is demoted to the Duke of Zhenguo, the prince is demoted to the Duke of Fuguo, the Beile is demoted to the Duke of Zhenguo who is not in the eighth place, the Beizi is demoted to the Duke of Fuguo who is not in the eighth place, the Duke of Zhenguo is demoted to the General of Zhenguo, and the Duke of Fuguo is demoted to the General of Fuguo. ]

[This is demoted level by level until the General of Feng'en, and the title is inherited. ]

……

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

The demotion table of titles appeared on the giant screen in the sky, clearly showing the order of demotion.

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che felt that this method was indeed desirable.

At least it could control the number of titles, prevent the royal family from becoming a huge burden on the court, and reduce the financial pressure on the court.

……

[Of course, under this system, there will be some royal family members who have no titles to be granted, and they are called idle royal family members. ]

[Although these idle royal family members have no titles, they can also receive a fixed salary from the court every month. ]

[However, the money is not much, roughly equivalent to the ninth-rank civil officials and unclassified civil officials in the Qing Dynasty. For royal family members, it can only be regarded as a minimum living allowance. ]

[If these idle royal family members feel that the money is not enough, they have to find a job to earn money. 】

Barrage flew out:

"In the late Qing Dynasty, many of these idle royal family members fell into the streets and became hooligans, which is also funny~"

"Reply-Why is this? Even if they don't work, the court will give them a minimum living allowance."

"Reply-their ancestors were rich and used to spending lavishly, so they can't live a hard life."

"..."

See here.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties couldn't help but sigh:

"It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, and from luxury to frugalityDifficult."

...

[Even with the above-mentioned complete and institutionalized system of descending succession, it only confirmed that the descendants of the princes and dukes of the Qing Dynasty (regardless of whether they were hereditary or not) were eligible to obtain the title.]

[Whether they can successfully obtain the high and low clan titles, it still depends on their own efforts.]

...

"What do you mean? ”

Many royal family members from many dynasties before the Qing Dynasty were quite puzzled.

Isn’t the title inherited? How can I work hard?

……

[Here, we will introduce the third system of the Qing Dynasty’s title system in addition to the two systems of “military merit” and “ennoblement”: “examination and ennoblement”.]

[The so-called “examination and ennoblement” means that the court will conduct examinations on royal family members who meet the age, qualification, and identity requirements and have not been ennobled from time to time, and determine whether to grant the title and what kind of title to grant based on the examination results.]

……

“Ah? !”

Many royal family members from many dynasties before the Qing Dynasty were extremely shocked.

It was the first time for them to hear that there was an examination to inherit the title.

It was really eye-opening.

“How to take the exam?”

“What if I fail the exam? ”

These clan children had many questions.

With these questions, they stared at the huge screen in the sky.

…

[The specific method is as follows.]

[When the clan children reach the age of 20, they can participate in the "examination and ennoblement" examination held by the court (mainly hosted by the Zongrenfu). The three examination contents of translation (Manchu-Chinese translation), archery (standing and shooting fixed targets), and horse archery (riding horses and shooting moving targets) are used to assess the clan children who are eligible to obtain the title.]

[Each examination content is divided into three results: excellent, average, and poor.]

[Those who obtain three "excellent" examinations will be awarded the title corresponding to their status;]

[Those who obtain "two excellent and one average" will be awarded one level lower;]

[Those who obtain "one excellent and two average", "two excellent and one poor", will be awarded two levels lower;]

[Those who obtain "three average", Those who have one superior, one average and one inferior will be demoted to three ranks;]

[Only those who have "one superior and two inferior", "two average and one inferior", "one average and two inferior", or "all inferior" will be disqualified from being granted titles. Regardless of their status, they will be treated as idle royal family members.]

[Royal family members can participate in the "examination and ennoblement" multiple times. Those who fail the examination can continue to participate in the next examination until they pass.]

……

Daqin plane.

Qin Shihuang thought that this method of "examination and ennoblement" was good.

If it can be strictly implemented, it can not only control the number of royal family members who are granted titles, but also make them diligent in study and progress.

On the other hand.

Many royal family members in the planes of many dynasties before the Qing Dynasty felt that it was too difficult to inherit the title in the Qing Dynasty. (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

It's not enough to just be qualified, and have to take the exam.

They think it is a bit outrageous.

……

[The "examination and ennoblement" system is relatively strictly implemented. In the entire Qing Dynasty royal family, including the heirs of the title who do not need to participate in the "examination and ennoblement", less than 7% of the royal family members have obtained the title. ]

[Among them, those who have the title of Fengen Zhenguogong or above (i.e. high-level titles) are less than 2% of the entire royal family (male members). ]

[In other words, among the men of the Qing Dynasty royal family, about 93% of them are "idle royal family members" who have never had a title in their lives. ]

……

"Hiss!"

Many royal family members in many dynasties before the Qing Dynasty took a deep breath in their hearts.

The royal family members of the Qing Dynasty are really a bit miserable. []

……

[Through the implementation of these systems, the Qing Dynasty controlled the proportion of people who obtained titles in the royal family to a relatively low level. On the one hand, it reduced the financial burden of the country, and on the other hand, it further compressed the political ambitions of the royal family, playing an important role in the stability of the imperial power. ]

……

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di had to admit that the Qing Dynasty's system was better than that of the Ming Dynasty in terms of royal family management.

……

[The above is an introduction to the royal family management system of various unified dynasties in ancient China. ]

[After reading this, which dynasty do you think has the best royal family management system? ]

[You are welcome to leave a message in the comment area to express your opinions. 】

Barrage flew out:

"I think the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are the best. One eliminated a group of royal family members through political struggles every ten years, and the other simply could not give birth, solving the problem fundamentally. (dog head)"

"Reply-If you say so, Qin and Sui expressed dissatisfaction, but they physically eliminated all royal family members."

"Reply-The Qing Dynasty took advantage of the late time and completed the iteration on the basis of the royal family system of all dynasties."

"Reply-In fact, it is not only the royal family system. The Qing Dynasty has almost fixed the bugs of many systems of all dynasties, but I didn't expect the world version to be updated."

"Reply-The Ming Dynasty is really weird. The Tang and Song dynasties have such good systems that they are not learned anywhere. As long as the royal family members who are out of the fifth mourning are kicked out, the cost of supporting the royal family of the Ming Dynasty will be reduced by more than half."

"..."

The plane of Taizu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Dad, I think what people in later generations said makes sense. Our Ming Dynasty should learn from the Tang and Song dynasties. All the royal family members who are out of the five mournings are no longer royal family members."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart and nodded.

He used to think that the rules of the Tang and Song dynasties were too cruel to the royal family members.

And he hoped to take better care of the Zhu family members.

But he didn't expect that the number of royal family members in the Ming Dynasty would expand so much in the future.

He didn't expect that it would bring such a huge burden to the finances of the Ming Dynasty court.

Now that he knows, he naturally has to change it.

……

In the sky-high giant screen.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[Military service is equivalent to going to hell! The most perverted army in Asia! ——Why did the Korean army become the clown of Asia? 】

……

Many ancient people in the past dynasties saw this line of big words and immediately became very interested in the content of the following video.

In ancient China, there were many military service systems such as the system of combining soldiers and farmers, the system of universal military service, the system of conscription, the system of military households, the system of united soldiers, the system of militia, the system of recruiting soldiers, and the system of guards.

The matter of military service was not unfamiliar to the ancient people.

Many ancient people had stayed in the military camp.

Although there are many bad things in the military camp, it is still far from enough to equate military service with going to hell.

Therefore,

Many ancient people were very curious about how perverted the Korean army was that made Koreans feel that military service was like going to hell.

……

[If you want to select the most perverted army in Asia, the Korean army deserves it. ]

[In 2018, Korea staged a fantasy drama "Along with the Gods" that won great acclaim around the world through amazing special effects, touching plots and thought-provoking cultural themes. ]

[But the scene where the protagonist's younger brother was killed by his comrades in the army caused strong dissatisfaction from the Korean military. ]

[They claimed that the soldiers of the great Korean country are the most loyal soldiers and descendants of the sun. ]

[This movie is slandering the Korean army and destroying the great international image of the Korean army. 】

……

"Descendants of Yang?"

"What the hell?"

Many ancient people in the past dynasties could not understand what this statement meant.

……

[But the problem is, how can an army that has never won a battle be great? ]

[What they do most is bullying, snobbery and X. ]

[And whenever there are new recruits in the Korean army, the best advice given by the veterans is to cover your butt. ]

……

"?"

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were quite puzzled.

What does this mean?

And when their doubts were answered in the following video content, they suffered a huge psychological shock.

……

[I often say that there are three treasures for the prosperity of the Korean country: thieves, prostitutes and X, but in fact, there is also an army. 】

The comments flew out:

"Hahaha, you understand Koreans."

"The summary is perfect."

"..."

Many ancient people immediately understood what the "thief" in the three treasures was.

Because from the previous (Wang's) video, they knew that Koreans like to steal other countries' culture the most.

......

[Speaking of J's most heavy taste in AsiaWhen it comes to countries, many people may think of India. 】

[In fact, compared with India, South Korea is not much different, even the army is no exception. 】

[In the South Korean system, male citizens aged 20 to 28 must serve in the military if they pass the physical examination. 】

[Different branches of the military have different military service periods, starting from two years at the shortest. 】

[Those who refuse to serve in the military will be imprisoned and sentenced. 】

[And this has become a nightmare for many South Koreans. 】

…

Daqin plane.

Qin Shihuang is a little confused.

Why does military service become a nightmare?

The people of Daqin are very enthusiastic about joining the army and fighting.

It is not surprising that he has this doubt.

Under the Qin Dynasty's twenty-level military merit system, the people of Qin Dynasty could only become successful by serving in the army and gaining military merit.

So they naturally joined the army enthusiastically.

But in Korea, military service is a nightmare journey.

……

[In 2021, Netflix launched a Korean drama "Deserter Pursuit". ]

[The whole story is based on the author's real experience as a soldier. The series reveals the bullying inside story of the Korean army through the perspective of these deserters. ]

[So, how magical is the real Korean army? How perverted is it? ]

[In 2005, the Korean army had a scandal of "hundreds of people eating shit". When a captain officer was inspecting the recruits' dormitory, he found that the toilet was blocked and was very unhappy. He immediately ordered 192 recruits to stand in a row and each of them used their fingers to dig out a small piece of feces and eat it. ]

[Later, when this incident was reported by soldiers, the whole country was in an uproar. ]

The barrage flew out:

"Ah! It's really outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme!"

"Is this something a normal person can do? It's too magical."

"It's really disgusting."

"..."

Many ancient people from all dynasties were shocked to the extreme when they saw this case.

They really opened their eyes and were directly shocked by the Korean army. .
