Preface.
40,000 Qi people shed tears, where is there a Shenzhou at the end of the world", history travels from time, the reform of a dynasty, the replacement of a dynasty, presenting the grand plan in front of our eyes. I saw that in the long yellow sand, large flowers were waiting to be released, and in each bud, there was a historical truth that attracted people to explore.
Kangqian prosperous times. 1. The life of a prince in the Qing Dynasty.
As the last dynasty in China, the Qing Dynasty can be described as the most controversial and controversial. In the eyes of most people, the backwardness of the Qing Dynasty led to China being beaten for many years, and it was also the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty that led to the loss of Chinese territory.
But is the loneliness of the feudal dynasty really because of the corruption of the Qing Dynasty? And was the Qing Dynasty really a dynasty in decline?
According to historical records, at that time in the Qing Dynasty, there was also a prosperous Kangqian era, and it lasted for a hundred years.
We may not see anything from this set of data, but almost every dynasty has its heyday.
The reign of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty lasted for fifty years, the reign of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty lasted for 24 years, and the reign of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty also lasted 23 years. In this comparison, we can know that the prosperous Kangqian era of the Qing Dynasty lasted for three generations and lasted for a hundred years, which shows the greatness of the Qing Dynasty and the fact that the Qing Dynasty was not in decline and mediocre.
The rule of Zhenguan. And the prosperity can be maintained for many years, which is also related to the emperor's hard work. Everyone may think that the prince and princess are all dressed and fed, and live a luxurious life.
But the princes of the Qing Dynasty had a hard life, they had to get up at four o'clock in the morning to freshen up and study, and go until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. There is no break in between, and the class will continue after eating. After school in the afternoon, I also learn to ride a horse and shoot arrows to exercise.
The life of a prince of the Qing Dynasty.
Our nine-year compulsory education has at least two days off, but the princes of the Qing Dynasty have almost no time to take a holiday, even if it is the New Year, it is only early to leave school. So diligent, so the Qing emperors were rarely as incompetent as the Ming emperors.
Yongzheng. Second, loose policies.
Not only the prince, but the emperor is more tired, like the well-known worker Yongzheng, who is a workaholic. But other emperors were also very harsh on themselves, demanding that things be done today.
For this reason, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty reviewed dozens of pieces every day, and strived to improve the bureaucratic system and consolidate the political power.
Because the Qing Dynasty was Manchurian, not Han, there were often rebellions, but even so, the Qing Dynasty's regime did not waver, and the foundation was still solid.
Since ancient times, rebellions, natural disasters, and man-made disasters have caused many people to leave their homes, and refugees have flowed, and there has been starvation along the way. But in the Qing Dynasty, the number of refugees was small, and even when there was war, the number of refugees was still very small.
Later, the large-scale Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, although the people were displaced, was not as difficult as the late Tang and Ming dynasties.
A republic of five tribes. Moreover, in the face of national issues, the Qing Dynasty chose to coexist rather than exclude dissidents. Whether it is Manchu, Mongolian, Han, or other ethnic groups, they were not excluded in the Qing Dynasty, but achieved a five-ethnic republic that was difficult to coexist.
Whether it is a national issue or a teaching prince, the Qing Dynasty is one of the few powerful.
However, the Qing Dynasty was based on the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty for many years, and it was still politically clean and relaxed, without strict laws, and it also realized the policy of "spreading the land into the mu", which protected the interests of the peasants to a certain extent.
Kangxi. 3. The rich and powerful Qing Dynasty.
What is even more commendable is that in the Qing Dynasty, there were few eunuchs in power, or a single minister was dominant, which was also the reason for the political system of the Qing Dynasty and the reason for the Qing emperor.
And the strength of a country is not only political, but also military. Those who know Kangxi know that when he ascended the throne at a young age, he destroyed the three feudatories, which shows Kangxi's iron-fisted methods, and during Kangxi's reign, he expanded China's territory, occupied Taiwan, and drove away Russia's colonial forces.
Therefore, during the Qing Dynasty, although the territorial area was not as strong as during the Mongol Empire, it was also a large country, and the Qing Dynasty had a large population of people because of the country's wealth and strength, with a population of more than 100 million.
Territory of the Qing Dynasty in its heyday.
Although there are many Chinese people now, in the ancient war period, medical care and other aspects were not fully developed, and the occurrence of war will lead to the loss of many populations and even death.
Therefore, the population of ancient times will only increase in the era of peace and prosperity. During the Qing Dynasty, the population exceeded 100 million, which shows the political stability of the Qing Dynasty and the country.
According to historical records, the military strength of the Qing Dynasty was second only to that of the Yuan Dynasty, but in the end, because of the rule of Cixi and others, the Qing Dynasty went to a strange path.
Empress. Review.
The strength of the Qing Dynasty, whether politically or militarily, was comparable to that of other countries, but the change of dynasty, the change of theocratic regime, absolute monarchy, and freedom and democracy was a historical necessity.
Although it is said that the Qing Dynasty lost its national power, causing China to lag behind for many years. But because of this, there is today's China.
