The most powerful period of the Qing Dynasty was the Qianlong Emperor period, the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty is called the Kangqian Dynasty, and the Strength of the Kangxi Period was stronger than that of the Qianlong Period.
Because the Yongzheng Emperor was diligent and thrifty all his life, he worked hard to govern, punished corrupt officials, and added a large amount of silver to the national treasury, and by the Qianlong period, the treasury was sufficient and the silver content reached its peak, so the most prosperous time in the Qing Dynasty was the Qianlong Emperor period.
Although the national strength of the Qianlong period was strong, but it was not as good as an Asian country, that is, Myanmar, as far as the current national strength is concerned, China has dumped Myanmar more than a dozen streets, but in the Qianlong period, Myanmar was the number one power in Southeast Asia, and that period was also the peak period of Myanmar, almost unifying the entire Asia, and even the British and French coalition forces were not opponents.
When watching "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3", Er Kang and Yong Qi led the troops to fight, the opponent was Burma, who was good at using elephants to fight, and the real history was different, the end of the battle was not the victory of the Qing Dynasty, on the contrary, the Qing Dynasty and Burma fought a total of four wars, and this dead war ended in the defeat of the Qing Dynasty.
The Qianlong Emperor was very angry in the face of the tricky Burma, but fortunately, in the end of the war, Burma took the initiative to seek peace, so the Qing and Burmese sides ended the war in a dignified manner. So what did Burma and the Qing Dynasty fight for, and why did Myanmar, which has always had the upper hand, take the initiative to seek peace?
At that time, Under the leadership of three consecutive wise monarchs, Myanmar achieved unification, and Myanmar was located in the middle of China and India, the culture was affected, the whole country was relatively civilized, and Myanmar's products were relatively rich, and they were very good at business.
Over time, Myanmar's economic strength has been rising, and under the leadership of national leaders, it has vigorously developed its military strength based on economic strength, and eventually, it has become a military power. Burma, which has become more powerful, has begun to embark on the path of aggression and expansion.
Including Vietnam, parts of India, as well as Cambodia, Malaysia and the Indonesian archipelago, etc., are under the control of Myanmar, and Myanmar is not satisfied with this, in order to compensate for the attrition in the war, Myanmar extended its hand to the Chinese border and demanded that the toast on the Chinese border be taxed.
It is because of this conflict of interest that China and Burma are at war. What Burma did not expect was that the strength of the Qing Dynasty was not weak, although the war had always ended in Burma's victory, but the Qing Dynasty could fully bear the losses in the war.
If the two countries continue to stalemate, the war will not end for a moment and a half, and Myanmar has many battlefields in Southeast Asian countries, it is really difficult to allocate more energy to confront the Qing Dynasty, during the war, Burma's consumption is huge, and there is a lack of supplies, the longer the war lasts, the more unfavorable it is to Myanmar, so Myanmar takes the initiative to seek peace.
After ending the war with the Qing Dynasty, Burma also lost its vitality, and at the same time, Vietnam seized the opportunity to rise up and gain independence, and since then many countries have also rebelled and gradually got rid of Burma's control.
If Burma did not provoke the Qing Dynasty, according to Burma's strength, it is likely to unify Southeast Asia, and then after gaining strength, unify the whole of Asia, but Burma prides itself on being strong, swelled to the point of injuring itself by mistake, really lost its wife and folded its troops, and later The British and French countries expanded their colonies in Southeast Asia. It was also beaten badly by Burma, and the Anglo-French coalition was particularly afraid of it.
When the British provoked Burma, Burma rose up to resist and beat the British very badly, as did France, after which the British and French rested for a long time before they attacked Burma for the second time, and then due to long-term attrition in the war.
Myanmar's strength is much less than before, and it is gradually in the ascendant. If Burma had not invaded the Qing Dynasty and preserved its strength, it would not have been colonized by Britain and France easily, so the invasion of the Qing Dynasty was a fatal mistake for Burma.
