Ming Dynasty and Xinjiang

1. Why didn't the Ming Dynasty control Xinjiang after the founding of the People's Republic of China?

A: No, the Ming army never left Jiayuguan, which was the border of the Ming Dynasty. Jiayuguan is the westernmost part of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty. Go abroad after customs. Is that understandable?

2. Why didn't the Ming Dynasty recover Xinjiang?

A: It really hasn't recovered. Even during the Yuan Empire, it was not under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Empire. Not to mention the homeland of the Ming dynasty, how can it be recovered? It was an unimaginable land, and the Ming Dynasty did not even consider the "management" of the Western Regions in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Xinjiang only entered the territory of the Qing Dynasty during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qianlong emperor called it "the old land returns to the new land". During the Tongzhi period in the late Qing Dynasty, it fell again because of the recovery of Xinjiang by the left, and then it was formally established under the jurisdiction of Xinjiang Province.
