Ming Dynasty Jiajing To Wanli, China And Burma Conflict Studies

Since Jiajing the Tenth, 1531 AD,Tabinshwehti started building Toungoo Dynasty with the helps from the western colonists and the weapons from the foreigners. During this process, leaders advanced the troops into the area, where now is on the west of YunNan province border, the Dai area, they conquered this district after nearly half-a-century's war with Ming. The war had caused the heavy damages to the live, the culture and the economic there. Until the Anaukbetlun times, the war wasn't ended. Results of the war were that the three Xuanweisi were beginning to be alienated with Ming. At last, the border between Myanmar and China was shrinking in, and four of the eight passes of China were get into Myanmar at the end of Qing Dynasty. The southwest border area of China was been influencing since then.In my opinion, the southwest border crisis was mostly caused by the ideas and the politics of Ming dominators, but Toungoo Dynasty. In fact, Toungoo Dynasty was just a catalyst, which activated the revolting elements here made by Ming's domination. Since Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming established the idea to make the Dai people and other minorities, who live in the southwest, peaceful and the area easily controlled. Especifically, they tried to weaken the local minority forces by cutting the relative large ones up into the small ones. They thought that minority forces were able to be controlled fast only in this way without the troops sent. The Luchuan's cutting up, and the set of Mengmi Anfusi and Manmo Anfusi, which happened in Hongwu, Chenghua and Wanli Dynasties, was all the specific cases of the Cutting-up politics. But out of the governors'mind, small forces, which ought to be controlled easily, brought lots of serious hidden troubles to the Ming Dynasty at last.They, small forces, only minded themselves'affairs, and tried to go after their benefits and territory. During this process, contradictions between and among them had been shaping. And then, they always tried to kill their opponents, so the wars among the small forces began. Results of the wars were the more serious contradictions. After the more serious contradictions were the more serious wars. Wars and contradictions were happened again and again, till this area was in the disorderly and chaos situation.When Ming Dynasty faced this situation in the area, she didn't try to stop the wars, but prompted it. She always used one and some forces to cope with and attack the others to achieve the purpose of minority's controlling. And they believed that this was the best way to control the minority forces. With this going on, the small forces began the mind of hatred for Ming. Not only provoked the contradictions among the forces, but Ming ravened the resources there and complied with the affairs partially and unfairly. All of these destroyed the great and impartial figure of Ming, which had been shaped in the early times of Ming. When the requirements of the forces could't be met, they began to find the way to fulfill them. At the same time, Toungoo Dynasty rose suddenly. So, some of them tried to embrace the new dynasty. With the treasures'temptation from the Toungoo Dynasty, many of the others put in the new dynasty. They betrayed the Ming. When Toungoo conquered the Dai area, she began to invade Ming's territory with helps from the small minority forces. This produced the southwest border area crisis in Wanli Dynasty till the death of Ming. In fact that the crisis influenced China southwest border area for several centuries, even today. All in all, the crisis happened on the southwest of China in Ming is a cup of bitter wine brewed herself.
