Why did the Ming Dynasty lose the main force of the Beijing army, and the central government had not lost control of the localities?

The reason why the Tumubao change is widely known is mainly because Ming Yingzong was captured by the enemy by the emperor, after all, such a, throughout ancient China for thousands of years, there are few things. However, compared with the "difficulty of Jingkang" in the Northern Song Dynasty, the "change of Tumubao" in the Ming Dynasty is very different. The same emperor was taken captive, and the Northern Song Dynasty directly lost the country, and although the Southern Song Dynasty established the country, it was also partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and only half of the country survived. And the Ming Dynasty, in the face of the "desperate situation" of the defeat of the imperial driver's conquest, the capture of the emperor, and the siege of Beijing, not only held the capital, but also guarded the country, and the country did not fall apart because of this, which is really amazing.

1: The orthodoxy of the dynasty. As a dynasty established by the Han people, it was not easy to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. In order to stabilize the situation in the world, Zhu Yuanzhang made all his sons vassal kings. This system was passed down throughout the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Di, the vassal kings all over the country, their strength is relatively small, plus they are all members of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court does not cut the domain, why should they rebel? The Tumubao Revolution only lost the Central Army, and the prestige of the imperial court was still there. In addition, with the case of the Battle of Jingjing, the local feudal kings did not dare to take this road easily.

When Yu Qian led his troops to defend Jingshi to the death, his approach was admired by many vassal kings. When the defense of Beijing was successful, a new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the Ming Dynasty was on the right track. The other vassal kings also saw the strength and determination of the imperial court, so naturally they had no ambition to revolt. To be honest, Zhu Di's uprising had a great impact on the subsequent vassal kings, and the imperial court intended to prevent the vassal king's uprising, and the vassal king naturally did not dare to take this road in order to protect himself.

2: The timing of the uprising is unreasonable. A dynasty, the time of the uprising, must be the end of the period. After all, at the end of the dynasty, the court was corrupt, the situation in the world was unstable, and there were internal and external troubles, which was the best time for an uprising. By the time of Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Dynasty was also in the middle period. In other words, in the Ming Dynasty at that time, the national strength was still very strong, and the family foundation left by Zhu Di was still very thick. It was only after the Tumubao Incident that the Ming Dynasty began to decline. Even so, it is still very difficult for a vassal king to succeed in his uprising.

3: The system of the Ming Dynasty. In the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty, there was a well-established system. During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, it can be divided into two aspects: military generals and civil officials. The military generals were in the hands of the feudal kings, and the civil officials were officials sent by the imperial court to govern the people. In the division of local administration, there are three levels, from large to small, namely: prefecture, prefecture and county; Further up, there is the political envoy.

After Zhu Di, the vassal kings basically had no real power, and they also became parasites of the imperial court. They are only responsible for enjoying life, and their abilities are no longer in their consideration. Under the perfect system, if you want to revolt, unless the Ming Dynasty society reaches the point where it cannot function, it is difficult to succeed, and the slightest carelessness is a devastating blow.

In the payment of taxes, the imperial court stipulated that the grain payment was 200,000 stone for the upper government. Different grain payments are divided into different prefectures, prefectures, and counties. In which year the tax is not paid, the court can easily find out. Therefore, if you want to revolt, it will be difficult to succeed if you are not well prepared. If you want to succeed in the uprising, you have to store grain and accumulate strength, but in this way, it is easy to be discovered by the imperial court, which restricts the uprising of the vassal king. And the vassal king could not associate too much with the local tycoons and officials, otherwise it would be defined as collusion in rebellion.

4: The strength and position of the vassal king. In terms of strength, each vassal king has a limited strength of his own. Especially after Zhu Di, the military power of the vassal king was weakened, which was also Zhu Di's prevention of the rebellion of the vassal king, and the vassal king was not allowed to leave his fiefdom at will. Otherwise, it is defined as conspiracy to rebel.

And different feudal kings were subject to different restrictions. Especially in the middle of the vassal king, his uprising is easy to be suppressed by the surrounding vassal kings, after all, the name is not right, the words are not good, what kind of uprising?

As for the vassal king who is far away on the frontier, he needs to fight all the way to Beijing, but this distance is too far, and the difficulty is much greater. After all, not every vassal king has Zhu Di's strength and talent, as well as opportunities. With the vassal kings checking and balancing each other, no one dared to revolt easily. Coupled with the limited strength, it is still a question whether it can hit Beijing.

Judging from these factors, they all limited the rebellion of the vassal king. It was still difficult for these vassal kings to succeed in revolting and breaking away from the rule of the central government. In particular, if you can't leave your fiefdom, if it's serious, you will be stripped of your title by the imperial court and become a prisoner. In addition, Zhu Di cut off the military power of the vassal king, how could the vassal king who had no strength revolt? Therefore, even if the Ming Dynasty lost its main force, it still had the ability to control all parts of the country.

Zhu Qizhen was more miserable, the Ming Dynasty didn't want him anymore, and Wara also disliked him for only eating and not working, and Zhu Qizhen had nowhere to go for a while.

Later, he also thought of a trick first, and 1 year later, he actually sent Zhu Qizhen back! Good guys, isn't this a war between the two brothers! Sure enough, Zhu Qiyu imprisoned Zhu Qizhen in Nangong for 7 years, and Zhu Qizhen was not desolate.

7 years later, Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill and childless, and the guys who saw the wind and steered the rudder immediately got Zhu Qizhen out and reset him. Since then, Zhu Qizhen has connived at these ministers who have made meritorious contributions to the establishment for a long time, which has made the court miserable. The prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty is gone forever.

In general, the overall situation was not chaotic at that time, and Warat was just here to "seek justice", or to extort money. Although the emperor was captured, he soon had an heir, the court was not chaotic, and no one in the generals below dared to rebel.

Besides, the generals of the Ming Dynasty were all educated in the ideology of loyalty, and at that time, there was not an era when "guns are grass kings", they were not uneducated barbarians, and they were still loyal to the emperor.

The situation at that time in the Ming Dynasty was different from that of Chongzhen's reign, the regime had not yet become terminally ill, and the government had not yet lost the hearts of the people. The local army took all the money of the government, and did not dare to rebel against the condemnation of the world.
