History has to say that a dynasty is the Qing Dynasty, every time this dynasty is mentioned, it will cause fierce discussion, from the qing dynasty to the fall of this hundred years of time, the study of the Qing Dynasty has never stopped, some people say that the Qing Dynasty is the best dynasty among the various dynasties in China, this political system if it does not encounter the Invasion of the West may break through the three-hundred-year mark of the feudal dynasty. But the sinners who perished in the Qing Dynasty were not actually the last Guangxu Emperors, but an emperor we all know, who gradually brought the Qing Dynasty from the prosperous world to the darkness.
Guangxu, a sinner who perished in the Qing Dynasty
A recent statement that Empress Dowager Cixi was the culprit in the fall of the Qing Dynasty is actually incorrect, and the reason for the fall of the Qing Dynasty is actually very similar to the last years of the Ming Dynasty, saying that the Qing Dynasty died at the hands of Guangxu is like indicating that the Qing Dynasty died at the hands of the Chongzhen Emperor. Both men are actually poor emperors in history, and this country has been playing with it since the hands of their ancestors.
By the time they became emperors, it was already a mess, in the face of such a situation it was difficult for anyone to achieve comprehensive recovery and revival, to say a bad word, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was resurrected, it was difficult to save the Ming Dynasty at the end of the 16th century, even if it was the founding emperor Nurhaci after the inventory, it is estimated that he could not fight the old demon wife of Empress Dowager Cixi, which is actually the historical status quo at what time, but many people agree, believing that the inaction of the last emperor led to the demise of the country.
The sinner of the fall of the Qing Dynasty was the Guangxu Emperor, which was a popular saying in those days. For such a thing as the demise of a country, the last emperor must bear the main responsibility, the Guangxu Emperor was the last real power emperor of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and although Puyi was known as the Xuantong Emperor, Puyi at that time was only three years old, and the last three years of the Qing Dynasty were actually in the dark and the age at which Puyi took the throne was the same, three years old to become emperor, after three years of age the country perished.
This coincidence made many people begin to believe, and from the eyes of historians and experts who studied the social problems of the Qing Dynasty, the last three years of the Qing Dynasty were actually the mechanical operation after the deaths of Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor, and did not make much change to the actual situation, the Guangxu Emperor as the actual emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty became like this in his later years, he was mainly responsible, in fact, Guangxu at that time also had many opportunities to kill Cixi, but it was because of his own soft heart that the country became like this.
The well-known Qianlong Emperor
In fact, the Qianlong Emperor was the gravedigger of the Qing Dynasty, as the grandson of the Kangxi Emperor, the son of the Yongzheng Emperor, the fate of the Qianlong Emperor was better than any other Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and if the future Qing Emperors were fortunate enough to live in the Qianlong era, they would definitely not do worse than Qianlong, but if the Qianlong Emperor lived in the Daoguang Emperor, it is estimated that when he encountered the Opium War, he would also be overwhelmed, and he would change his own view after he saw the British's strong ships and cannons.
The Qianlong Emperor lived in an era where there was no threat of foreign enemies, but on the contrary, there were many legacies left to him by his ancestors, and he could take the legacy left by his ancestors and squander it at will. The darkness of the late Qing Dynasty and the humiliation of a hundred years in modern history, in fact, from the late Qianlong Emperor to know the development of the Western world after the inaction is a great responsibility, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the terminator of the prosperous world, the Qianlong Emperor has been highly evaluated, the Qing Dynasty said that he is beyond the existence of Kangxi, but this kind of person who left the disaster to future generations is also worthy of praise?
Qianlong Emperor's text prison made many people begin to fear, for the social views and their own ideas do not dare to say, the text prison to a large extent turned the entire Qing Dynasty into a society that dare not say, the people of this era of people's thinking was imprisoned, the development of science has also fallen into stagnation, because during the Ming Dynasty, China's science and technology in the exchange with some Western missionaries also developed a lot of fire and red cannons, to the Qing Dynasty these technologies after hundreds of years but regressed, It's ridiculous.
The Qianlong Emperor actually knew the development of the Western world through the thirteen lines in Guangzhou at that time, and there were many Western missionaries and painters in the Qing Court to serve the Emperor, but the Qianlong Emperor just pretended not to see, he instead emphasized that the Qing Dynasty was a heavenly kingdom, China was a great land, there was no need to trade with foreign countries, and finally the items of tribute from foreign envoys were blocked in the Yuanmingyuan, and almost a hundred years later, the British and French coalition forces found these items again, shocking the heavens. Many of the qianlong emperor's practices were really wrong for the country and the people, but they were also touted by many literary works in later generations as a prosperous monarch.
