Investigating The Causes Of WangMin's Perish

Min kingdom was a small country in Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms,established by the soldiers who came from the north.In the year AD 904,Tang dynasty named WangShenzhi,the founder of Min,as a king.This country existed for 41 years. Min kingdom was ever prosperous and arrived at its peak in WangShenzhi period.But, twenty years after WangShenzhi died in AD 925,Min became extinct.In the contemporary separatist regime, the monarch was more cruel than Min's and the strength was not stonger,but the country existed for a longer time.There must be some special reasons for Min's perish.It is meaningful to research the causes of Min'sperish.Based on this knowledge,it is indispensable to introduce the initiatation and the achievements of Min regime,in order to let the readers have an impression for its prosperity.Knowing about its prosperity can explain its causes of perish.The errors in Min's posterity are combatting in the members of the royal clan,the corrupt polity,the conflicts of the north and the natives,not respecting the central which are the main causes. The national continuous political struggles weakened the internalstrength.WanYanjun's coup was only a start.Then,WangJipeng,WangYanxi,ZhuWenjin,and WangYanzheng all got their crown by coup.At last,LiRenda'coup made Min's perdition.The successors after WangShenzhi were all dissolute and incontinent,using the villain,accumulating the wealth by unfair means,openly selling official jobs which planted the seeds of destruction.The soldiers coming from the north were the main strength whom Wangshi depended on at the beginning,but they were despised with the passage of time.The conflict of interest in the north and the natives intensified the internal contradictions.When WangShenzhi lived,he payed intributes for the central and was in harmony with it,but the successors were in a dead set with the central,which made Min lose its legitimacy.The geographic and historic reasons are geography of Fujian, mercantilism culture,the absence of the talents in the kingdom,the influences of religion which accelerates the perish of Min kingdom.The closed geography made Min set up a separatist regime by force of arms,but Fuzhou, Jianzhou and Quanzhou are all strong,which determined the necessity of domestic dispute. From the early days of the founding Wangshi payed attention to the development of the commercial. Mercantilism culture made the successors Short-sighted and only have eyes to enjoy themselves.Min had not too many persons with ability. WangShenzhi can make good use of the talented,but the successors deserted even killed the talented.The lack of the domestic persons with ability could not upgrade the national strength.From the beginning of Min's initiatation,the rulers worship the religions.The blind worship to religions made the country more corrupt and weak.
