Map of China During Ming Dynasty

This is a map of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The string of green and blue is the Great Wall of China and the brown shaded area is the land ruled by the Ming Dynasty. The capital of the Ming Dynasty is Beijing and still is the capital today. The Ming Dynasty borders the South China Sea and controlled the land of the Tang dynasty. Soldiers took control over Beiping and Nanjing during the dynasty.  The Ming Dynasty was both in China and North Korea. The Great Wall of China were built on the mountains which was a great geographical feature for the Chinese because it is a natural barrier. The Chinese workers inside the bordered walls were very safe from any enemies.  

OP/ED

Emperor Zhu Di has killed more than 100,000 people and the people should acknowledge what terror he has done to China. Zhu Di killed his people due to his own self-esteem. The people should be worried if they might be the next ones to die under this killing rampage. To prevent people from dying, the people should overthrow Zhu Di and that will cause him to lose the Mandate of Heaven. Zhu Di will not last long with him just by himself. He has to fulfill the jobs of his dead employees and that is really not possible for Emperor Zhu Di. If we overthrow the emperor that will cause china to grow into a democracy. A democracy there will be more opportunities for success with a growing population of people. The Chinese have been rebelling against the mongols since 1368 and the rulers of China isolated foreign influences to protect us. If China becomes a democracy we won't be as protected from the government as before and there is a chance of more battles.

ZHU DI'S MASS MURDERING

1380 A.D.

        

        Yesterday, Zhu Di ordered 100,000 of his employees to be executed in the 

palace at Nanjing. Zhu Di also had his family and officials murdered. This was due to his low self-esteem. He thought his people were laughing behind his back and he trusted no one.

         He started out with having a secret police spy on his officials and then later had those officials executed. That later lead onto his political enemies executed because they did not support him and his family. To kill the people he wanted executed, he cut off their heads and they were places on a spiked pole and their body was skinned, stuffed with straw and hung in their boss’ office, which is a great dishonor to them and their family.

         Still unable to trust anyone he was loaded with a great amount of paperwork and was working day and night trying to finish the jobs of the his dead employees. One-eighth of the day, Zhu Di had to deal with 1,600 dispatches. He might as well be the next Shi Huangdi for such great power and burden of his daily office work.
