Do not fall into the trap of attacking the Ming because some racist trolls attack the Qing. The Ming did not receive its territories from the Yuan, they didn't hand anything to the Ming on a plate. It conquered the entire inner mongolia region and it conquered Manchuria including modern day Primorsky Krai. The Jurchen chieftains submitted to the Ming.
Nurhaci and his family were vassals to the Ming. Their tribe obeyed the orders of the Ming general stationed in the area where the jianzhou jurchens lived. Nurhaci rebelled because his father and grandfather were accidently killed by the Ming when they were loyal vassals.
The Ming also defeated the Portuguese at Tamao in 1521 and 1522 and they defeated the Dutch in the Pescadores in the 1620s.
A member of the Ming Impial family became a Marquis during the Qing.
You should not just look out for the racists like Sayina. People like Okemos are spreading serious BS about minorities in China around this forum. Okemos is claiming Islamic schools in China is a new thing. This jack*** is lying, there have been Islamic schools called "Jingtang Jiaoyu" and plenty of mosques all over major Chinese cities since the Ming dynasty.
He then took the entire population of Xinjiang, which is 21 million (including around 10 million Han in Dzungharia) and claimed that the entire population were Muslims to misrepresent population growth of Muslims as expanding rapidly.
He then blames Hui for murdering millions of Han in dungan revolt, was Zhang Xianzhong a Hui? Were the Nian and Taiping rebellions done by Hui? Were the Japanese Hui? He is a serial, ticked off liar.
Hui have served in the Ming dynasty under Mi Layin and they fought against the Qing to restore the Ming, then there were Hui who fought for the Qing against Hui rebels like in 1781 loyal Sunni and Khufiyya Sufi Muslims fought against the Jahriyya Sufi cult, loyal Hui helped the Qing crush the rebel Hui in the Dungan revolt, Hui like Cui Wei and Hau Decai helped the Qing reconquer Xinjiang, Hui crushed another rebellion in 1895, the General Zuo Baogui who fought against Japan in Korea at Pyongyang was a Hui, Hui fought in the Boxer Rebellion against the Eight Nation alliance, and they fought japan in ww2.
The Ming dynasty set up an entire Hui Astronomy Bureau which employed Hui who used Islamic astronomy from Persia to determine the correct date for the calender. Okemos conveniently forgets all of these facts.
