Traditional disadvantages of military dictatorship

Aristocratic families and soldiers disappeared in the Ming Dynasty because they gradually declined from the feudal dynasty, but by the early Ming Dynasty, one-man politics had been implemented, the monarch began to kill the male and waste the phase, and the political power was also in the hands of the emperor, so the aristocratic families and soldiers at this time basically did not have much power.

In the feudal dynasty, the supreme ruler did not have much real power. The most important thing was the monarch and the forces behind him. The Western Han Dynasty was equivalent to aristocratic politics, because the aristocratic family at that time basically controlled all state affairs, and the monarch had no real power. In the Southern Dynasties, it was mainly soldiers who held power, because all these people came from the army. They were in charge of the military, so they seized power through a military coup. Liang Wudi, the then ruler, spent a lot of time and energy trying to improve this situation and weaken the rights of these armed men, but all failed.

From the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, one-man politics gradually began, and Emperor Xiaowen strictly implemented one-man politics, canceling the rights of many tribal leaders and greatly increasing the power of the monarch. From the Western Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, political affairs at that time were dominated by group interests. From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, military and political affairs were mainly practiced, and the army held political power and held state affairs.

The monarch's power was completely improved from Xuanzong in the early Ming Dynasty, and he began to practice one-man politics. The power of political affairs was basically in the hands of the supreme ruler, while civilian politics prevailed in the period from British Zong to Four Dynasties. However, civilian politics also has its drawbacks. When foreigners invade, soldiers' resistance is very weak.
