Historians know that Qin Shi Huang established a feudal dynasty after unifying the Six Kingdoms, and this system continued until the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty, the closest feudal dynasty to us, went through a total of 12 emperors and lasted 276 years.
Except for the last emperor Puyi, who abdicated due to his young age, the remaining 11 emperors performed well during their reign, so there is a saying that there is no faint monarch in the Qing Dynasty. So, among these emperors, who can be called the best emperor of the Qing Dynasty?
Huang Taiji, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, laid the foundation of the Qing Empire with his outstanding leadership and wise policy reforms. He successfully strengthened the centralization of power, changed his father's cruel policy towards the Han people, vigorously promoted the Han people, and made full preparations for the entry of the Shunzhi Emperor.
Therefore, Huang Taiji is worthy of being the founder of the Qing Empire, and his comprehensive ability ranks first, which is well deserved.
Title: Emperor Yongzheng: Hard work, diligence and thrift, and proper governance Text: Yongzheng Emperor Yinzhen stood out among the nine sons and took over the difficult situation left by Kangxi.
He not only reorganized the institutions of the Qing Dynasty, but also worked almost all year round, caring for the people and trying to solve internal and external troubles. He himself lived frugally, and at the same time encouraged his ministers to be frugal.
Under his governance, social progress has been obvious, internal and external troubles have been basically calmed down, and even some shortcomings left by Kangxi have been corrected. His actions gave a powerful impetus to the progress of society and increased the amount of money in the treasury.
In terms of governing the country and his own ability, he is as good as Kangxi. He was the transitional period of the prosperous Kangqian era and played an important role in connecting the past and the next.
Although he has only reigned for thirteen years, he still ranks second in terms of overall ability, which is beyond reproach.
Kangxi Emperor Xuanye, a wise and brave leader, with his intelligence and courage, successfully captured Aobai, quelled the Dzungar War, and drove Tsarist Russia, which invaded China's territory, out of the country.
He has developed unparalleled combat effectiveness on the battlefield, and can deal with strong enemies such as Dzungar and Mongolia with ease. Although he ranked third in both statecraft and talent, he left behind a huge external problem for his successor, Yongzheng.
Despite this, his contribution remains indelible, and he is Nurhachi, the founder of Houjin.
Although Nurhachi was the main founder of the Manchu Empire, and his exploits were unparalleled, he did not rank at the top of the list in terms of his martial arts. This was because Nurhachi was so cruel that he slaughtered every city he captured, causing great suffering to the people, so he could not be considered a worthy emperor.
At best, he was just a tribal leader who lacked fraternity. Therefore, the fourth place is indisputable.
Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne at the age of nine, and although he was young, he had great ambitions. Although Dolgon held real power, after Dolgon's death, Emperor Shunzhi actively studied and listened to the advice of his mother, Empress Xiaozhuang, and achieved certain results.
He had great achievements in the first half of his life, but in the second half of his life, he chose to become a monk, so he was only ranked fifth.
6. Qianlong Emperor Hongli Many people think that Qianlong is the first emperor of the ages, why is he ranked sixth in the ranking? It is true that during his early years in power, Qianlong made outstanding contributions to the cultural and economic fields of the Qing Dynasty.
However, during his reign, the Qing Dynasty had achieved prosperity and stability, and he faced relatively little pressure compared to the hardships and hardships of the early years. Moreover, in his later years, his actions were relatively limited, and compared with the previous great emperors, Qianlong could only rank sixth.
Although the Jiaqing Emperor Yongyan (later changed to 顒彦) succeeded in overthrowing Heshen and enriching the treasury, his life was not easy. He adhered to the policies of his predecessors, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce and closing the country to the outside world, which led to the decline of the Qing Dynasty.
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the reign of the Daoguang Emperor Mianning (later changed to Minning) experienced many challenges. He was known for his stingy, picky, and weak character, which made it difficult for him to deal with the opium smoking problem of the people, which hastened the decline and demise of the Qing Dynasty. ”
Emperor Guangxu: The Shadow and Helplessness of History Emperor Guangxu, the emperor who briefly ruled at the end of the Qing Dynasty, was deeply branded by history as the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Due to the Empress Dowager Cixi's excessive interference in court affairs, the Guangxu Emperor was unable to give full play to his talents, and finally could only end up in a historical ranking of ninth. In this context, the tragic life and helpless fate of Emperor Guangxu can't help but make people feel emotional.
Although Emperor Xianfeng was addicted to wine all his life, he was unfortunately born in the turbulent period of the Western powers and the uprising of the people, and could only rank tenth.
The reign of the Tongzhi Emperor lacked significant success, and although he had the support of the Empress Dowager Cixi and briefly held power, his reign ended in an early death.
Here, I would like to introduce to you the ranking of the abilities of the 12 emperors of the Qing Dynasty, although some people may have guessed, but the last one, the last emperor Puyi, his story is still worth knowing.
He was forced to leave the Forbidden City, which marked the end of the feudal dynasty. The above is my personal summary of the ability ranking of the 12 emperors of the Qing Dynasty, I hope you can like it.
