Explain the problem of Liao Wang not proclaiming himself emperor
It is necessary to explain the problem that the Liao king did not proclaim himself emperor. The fundamental reason why the Liao king dared not proclaim himself emperor is that he had no enemies, except the emperor. But the emperor was at most a symbol of imperial power in the background after the Jingnan period. The huge interest groups behind him have disappeared. First, the royal family has been separated from the emperor through Jingnan, and secondly, the large landlord interest groups established by the autocratic imperial power have not yet been formed.
Another favorable factor in the emergence of capitalism under the influence of external forces in the early Ming Dynasty was the historical environment at that time. The Yuan Dynasty's rule in the Central Plains for less than a hundred years broke the economic structure of the Han landlords and powerful men in the Song Dynasty. In addition, the peasant war in the late Yuan Dynasty further made most of the land deserted and a large number of peasants left the land. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang paid special attention to the issue of land annexation for 30 years, even if the heroes and generals in the court annexed land, they tried their best to suppress it. Next, the Jingnan Dynasty was the Jingnan group, another group of high-ranking officials in the Southern Dynasty, and the family forces that had just emerged were eliminated. Under such historical conditions, the largest force in opposing reform, the landlord class was at the most vulnerable time in Chinese history.
May I ask some friends who do you think are the people who really have the power to oppose capitalist reform? They are the landlord class, especially those big landlords and powerful people who monopolize a large amount of land and have deep-rooted relationships with the land. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, interest groups led by the royal family and the big landlords were the people who eventually subverted Zhang Juzheng's reform. This type of people was the most weak when the Liao King reformed.
I wonder if without the support of these powerful landlords, how capable are those sour scholars to obstruct reform? In addition, chzjc book friends understand the world of Jingnan. The theory he mentioned is based on the historical conditions I just mentioned. Please think about it carefully by the book friends who are still opposing the Liao King's unapologetically.
chzjc's theory says this: "Also, among those sour Confucians, of course, the "imperial power and Taoism" are greater than the "constitutional monarchy". Of course, they support the old politics and the emperor.
However, due to the new policy, the military man who gained both fame and fortune supported the old policy or the new policy? Should he support the emperor or the Liao king?
Because of the new policy, property is guaranteed. Do businessmen with a rising status support the old policy or the new policy? Should they support the emperor or the Liao king?
Because of the new policy and the new learning, should the new nobles support the old policy or the new policy? Should they support the emperor or the Liao king?
Because of the new policy, there is no need to pay agricultural tax. Do farmers who have improved their quality of life support the old policy or the new policy? Should they support the emperor or the Liao king?
I have got rid of military household status because of the new policy. Is the soldiers who no longer have to be like dogs? Should they support the old policy or the new policy? Should they support the emperor or the Liao king?
Several of the above people understand the "Imperial Power and Constitutional Monarchy"? Although they do not understand the "Imperial Power and Constitutional Monarchy", they can clearly see the benefits of the new policy. Do you think they will be so stupid that they give up everything they have for the sake of the "Imperial Power and Constitutional Monarchy"?"
The chzjc book friend said it very clearly. May I ask those who oppose it, when the King of Liao does not have those real and truly powerful potential enemies, who will obstruct the reform? Are they the Confucian scholars who have no power? After decades of the upstarts, who will oppose the reform proposed by the King of Liao to make them rich?
