If Kangxi had not killed this person, the Qing Dynasty might have become a world power, even if the United States and Japan joined forces
Introduction: In 1687, dai zi, a minister of the Qing Dynasty, made a cupola cannon. This cannon is so powerful that it can blast off a hill with a single shot. At that time, Kangxi was on an expedition to the Mongol Dzungars, and he immediately took out a cupola on the battlefield. The 300,000 iron horses of the Jungar tribe were defeated. Kangxi was overjoyed, and he immediately crowned Dai Zi as a general of Weiyuan. The courtiers came to congratulate him one after another, and Dai Zi became a red man of Kangxi.
In fact, Dai Zi was not good at dealing with official affairs at all. For him, scientific creation is the most interesting activity. Dai Zi was born a humble man, and he served under Prince Kang in his early years, and later followed Prince Kang to Fujian. In Fujian, Geng Jingzhong, the king of the clan, appreciated him, and Dai Zi had the opportunity to make cannons. After Kangxi pacified Geng Jingzhong, Dai Zi was recruited to his subordinates. For this strange man, Kangxi has always placed high hopes on him, but his resume is not glorious, and the top level of the Qing Dynasty is also quite jealous.
Dai Zi looks honest and honest, and likes to write scientific classics when he has nothing to do. As a Han Chinese, in fact, he despises the Manchus in his heart. Once, the Manchu official Nan Huairen invited him to a banquet. Dai Zi was not willing to participate at all, and he directly sent the invitation back as it was. Nan Huairen was upset in his heart, and he vowed to take care of Dai Zi. A few months later, Nan Huairen took a group of ministers to dai zi. He was falsely accused of having dealings with the Zheng family in Taiwan. Kangxi was furious, and he immediately sent Dai Zifa to Shenyang.
It was winter, and the temperature in Shenyang was unusually cold. Dai Zi grew up in the south, where can he endure such an environment. Within a few months, he fell ill and died. After Dai Zi's death, all his scientific texts were burned. Not many people want to pursue a career in technology anymore. However, the soaring cannon he invented survived and became an important weapon for the Qing Dynasty to defend against foreign enemies. The times developed rapidly, and soon after, Xiyi began the first industrial revolution. Without Dai Zi, the Qing Dynasty was like a blind man groping forward, immersed in infinite conceit, and unconsciously lagged behind the world by a long way. Later generations of experts were extremely emotional about this, if Dai Zi was still there, the Qing Dynasty could definitely become a world power. Even if the United States and Japan join forces, we will not be afraid.
Conclusion: History proves that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Dai Zi was obsessed with inventing and creating, but he was not good at official accidents. Even if he pleased Kangxi, the Manchu officials would still design to frame him. In fact, if the political system of the Qing Dynasty did not change, even if it had advanced weapons, it would not be useful. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang and others took the lead in starting a foreign affairs movement. As a result, he was bullied by foreign enemies. Therefore, the first thing that Chinese must awaken must be the spiritual thought of self-improvement.
