The History of the Ming Dynasty is the last of the 24 histories, with a total of 332 volumes, including 24 volumes of the Benji, 75 volumes of the Zhi, 220 volumes of biography, and 13 volumes of the table.

It is a chronicle of the history of the dynasties, recording the history of more than 200 years from the first year of Zhu Yuanzhang Hongwu (1368 AD) to the 17th year of Zhu Youzhen Chongzhen (1644 AD).

The number of volumes is second only to the "History of the Song Dynasty" among the 24 histories, and its compilation time and diligence greatly exceed that of the previous histories.

Although the "History of the Ming Dynasty" has some hidden points, it has still been widely praised by later historians. Zhao Yi said in volume 31 of the "Twenty-two Historical Notes": "In addition to Ouyang Gong's "History of the Five Dynasties", the "History of Liao" is brief, the "History of the Song Dynasty" is complicated, and the "History of the Yuan" is sloppy, but the "History of Jin" is elegant and clean, the narrative is concise, and it is slightly considerable, but it is not as perfect as the "History of the Ming Dynasty". After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, in the second year of Shunzhi (1645), in April (11th), the imperial history Zhao Jiding asked for the compilation and revision of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" (Note: Zhao Jiding's record of asking for the compilation and revision of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" can be found in the "Qing Shizu Record" volume 15, and He Guanbiao's "Shunzhi Dynasty 'Ming History' Compilation Examination" was first revealed in the article.

However, there is no exact historical data to confirm when the Qing court decided to compile the revision. The official book of the Qing Dynasty also did not see the edict on the compilation and revision of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and only a few presidents in the "Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty" played in May of the second year of Shunzhi, which said,

"The ministers worship the holy edict, the president of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and put forward the list of vice presidents and compilers. This

It is likely that the "Sacred Decree" was only a verbal instruction from the early dynasty. In the past, it was known as May of the second year of Shunzhi

"The edict to revise the "History of the Ming Dynasty", the expression is indeed inappropriate, to be precise: in May of the second year of Shunzhi, the Qing court formed the compilation personnel of the "History of the Ming Dynasty".

), which was recognized by the Qing court. Subsequently, university scholars Feng Quan, Li Jiantai, Fan Wencheng, Gang Lin, and Qi Chongge were the presidents to handle the matter.

In May of that year, the president nominated the vice president and the compilation officer, and set up seven officials, ten full-character transcriptions, and 36 Chinese character transcriptions, which opened the prelude to the official compilation and revision of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" in the Qing Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Kangxi (1665 AD), the Ming History Museum was reopened, and it was stopped due to the compilation and revision of the "Qing Shizu Record".

In the eighteenth year of Kangxi (1679 AD), with Xu Yuanwen as the supervisor, he began to compile and revise the history of the Ming Dynasty. In the fourth year of Qianlong (1739 AD), the final draft was submitted and engraved.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" is the longest compilation time of official history books in the history of our country. If it is from the opening of the Ming History Museum in the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1645) to the official submission of the historian to the emperor in the fourth year of Qianlong (1739), it lasted 94 years.

If it is from the 18th year of Kangxi (1679) to the formal organization of the team to the submission of the manuscript, it will take a full 60 years.

Parting ways to commit Nanyang and Yuzhou, Biqian will help Nanyang, like Shengsheng to aid Yu, Ling Dale and others will fight thieves, kill Yingxiang, and become an elite of their own. The thieves re-divided their troops into Shaanxi, Yingxiang from Yun, Xiang to Xing'an, Hanzhong, from Nanshan to Shang, Luo, Yansui, Gongchang to the north. The generals Zuo Guangxian and Cao Bianjiao broke it, and they became a ring county. Before long, the official army was defeated in Luojiashan, and the soldiers and horses were killed, and the chief military officer Yu Chongxiao was executed. Zicheng reinvigorated, entered the siege of Suide, wanted to cross the river to the east, and Shanxi soldiers suppressed it. Fuxi plundered rice fat, called the county border shou, and said: "This is my hometown, don't abuse my father." "The gold of the legacy, order the repair of the Temple of Literature. When the river grew, the thieves drowned a great many, so they diverted their route and went west from Hancheng. Shi Xiangsheng and Dale and Kuan all joined the Beijing Division. Sun Chuanting was the new governor of Shaanxi and determined to destroy the thieves. In autumn and July, he captured Yingxiang in Xu, sacrificed his majesty, and died.

In the spring of the eleventh year, the official army defeated the thief Zitong, and he ran to the white water and ate it all. Cheng Chou and Chuanting jointly attacked Tongguan Yuan and broke it. He became a pawn, and he broke the siege with Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu and other eighteen horsemen, and ambushed Shang and Luoshan.
