1: Never increase taxes.

2. harem and eunuchs shall not interfere in politics.

3. Those who lose an inch of land are not allowed to enter the ancestral spirit.

The national strength in the heyday of the Manchu Dynasty was absolutely the top-notch existence in every dynasty. The whole Qing Dynasty left three ancestral teachings, that is, "Never add fu, the harem does not engage in politics, and those who lose an inch of land are not allowed to be buried in the imperial tomb." Although the slogan is beautiful, it is not satisfactory in practice. Previous emperors of the Qing Dynasty, such as Kangxi and Yongzheng, still adhere to this ancestral motto.

Unfortunately, after Daoguang began, the ancestral teachings were forgotten. During Daoguang period, the Opium War broke out, and the Qing Dynasty began to become the cake of the world powers, which was gradually eroded. Because the country is closed to the outside world, even with a large number of troops, it is still no match for the cannons and guns of the great powers. Although there were several political reforms at that time, they were carried out without touching the interests of the royal family, so they all ended in failure.

Zuxun of Ming Dynasty:

From now on, the Ming Dynasty, from the emperor to Li Shu, will be respected.

No kiss! No compensation! Don't cut the land! No salute! The son of heaven defends the country and the king dies.

The first few words were said by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He warned that future generations should never give in to barbarians. Although he was cruel to heroes, leaving such a strong ancestral motto really made us grow a Han nationality's ambition.

The last two sentences were said by the Ming emperor Judy. Although the throne was robbed by his nephew, Emperor Yongle did not disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang. During his reign, he made the country rich and strong, and at the same time sent Zheng He to the Western Seas for seven times, which enhanced China's national prestige.

Extended data:

Zhu Yuanzhang instructed ancestor Daming: These fifteen countries are not allowed to attack, especially Japan!

Ming Di's Zuxun is Daming Zuxun, which was compiled in the second year of Zhu Yuanzhang's accession to the throne. In this ancestral training, Zhu Yuanzhang listed five invulnerable countries around Daming, namely:

Korea, Japan, Big Ryukyu, Little Ryukyu, Annan, Zhenla, Siam, Zhancheng, Sumatra, Western Ocean, Java, Kanheng, Baihua, Sanfuqi and Boni.

Behind every country that did not attack, Zhu Yuanzhang also commented on various countries with notes. These 15 countries, most of which are vassals of China, will pay tribute to China regularly. Daming has received protection money from others, so naturally he won't attack others. However, only one country has received this kind of preferential treatment, because it has provoked China instead of pleasing China, and that country is Japan.

Behind Japan, a country where ancestral training was not attacked, Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that "although it was treacherous, it was secretly associated with traitor Hu, and it was tortuous, so it was absolutely rejected." It means that Japan occasionally pays tribute to Daming on the surface, but in fact it has ulterior motives. Especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang sent his credentials to Japan, and Japan also killed the emissary, which provoked Zhu Yuanzhang's great anger and cut off contacts with Japan in a rage, so it was called "Jue".

Zhu Yuanzhang thought very thoroughly. He believes that "foreigners in all directions are confined to mountains and seas and isolated in a corner; The land is not enough, and people are not enough. "

Zhu Yuanzhang's list of "countries that won't attack" is not because they obey Daming, but because these countries are too far away to use their land when attacking and can't catch up with their people. The lesson that the Yuan Dynasty attacked Japan twice and suffered heavy losses is still fresh in my memory. In addition, the Ming dynasty has just been established, and its vitality has not yet recovered. Therefore, unless Japan takes the initiative to provoke, it is unwise to attack him far away.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also instructed that it was forbidden to attack these countries, because there was a fear of foreign invasion on the northern and northwestern borders, and it was necessary to station elite troops here, and not to disperse troops into the hands of the conference semifinals.

However, since Zhu Yuanzhang was forbidden to attack Japan, Japan has paid less attention to Daming. Japanese pirates often disturbed China's coastal defense border, and later brazenly invaded North Korea. It was not until Emperor Wanli sent troops to aid Korea and repel the Japanese army that Japan's arrogance was slightly restrained and it was silent for 300 years.
