If Kangxi had not killed this person, the Qing Dynasty might have been able to dominate the world, and the Eight-Power Alliance would not have dared to invade China
The Kangxi Emperor was the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and also a very famous emperor in history, he ascended the throne at the age of eight, pro-government at the age of 14, served as emperor for a total of 61 years, one of the longest reigning emperors in Chinese history, he was at the age of 16 when he was 16 years old, he wisely captured the power of the courtierSo bai, and at the age of 19, he used his excellent military and political skills to quell the Rebellion of San Francisco, the Dzungar Rebellion, took back Taiwan, and defeated Tsarist Russia at Nebuchu.
Kangxi was a highly rated monarch in Chinese history, some people say that he was an emperor throughout the ages, under his leadership, China's economy at that time flourished, people's living standards were greatly improved, so that the society at that time slowly stabilized, for the later dynasty to create a good start and lay a solid foundation. But no one is a sage, who can be blameless, and such an emperor who has made great achievements has also made fatal mistakes.
During the Kangxi Dynasty, he was good at getting close to the sages, so he valued this man with a pair of skillful hands and a head and heart that was good at discovering and manufacturing, so he soon became an old craftsman in the palace that everyone was familiar with, and was welcomed and respected. It is precisely because of this that this courtier named Dai Zi made a great contribution to the military weapons of the Qing Dynasty, and his favorite thing was to study artillery, which was true, so when he attacked Wu Sangui in the Qing Dynasty, he made the Qing Dynasty army win a victory, mainly because the artillery he developed had a very high hit rate, which could reach more than ninety-nine percent.
However, after winning this war, Kangxi was accustomed to his contribution to the country, so he did not reward him too much, just let him be a minor official of Hanlin Academy, but Dai Zi did not give up his love for artillery, and still devoted himself to research and constantly contributed to the country. Later, a Dutch emissary paid tribute to China for a shotgun, and then all kinds of praise for this shotgun aroused kangxi's displeasure, and Kangxi ordered Dai Zi to also strive to study and transform another more advanced shotgun, giving them a downward spiral.
The scientific research unit led by Dai Zi lived up to the expectations of the public and developed the world-leading firearms at that time, the sky cannon. Each shell of this type weighs thirty pounds, and there are countless small iron bullets in it, and once fired, the lethality is very strong. Moreover, the weapons developed by Dai Zi at that time were basically ahead of the world, and if these weapons were used on the battlefield, then the combat effectiveness of the Qing army could be imagined.
However, when Dai Zi was immersed in research, because his talent attracted the jealousy of Kangxi's favorites, he joined forces with Dai Zi's enemies and framed Dai Zi, and as a result, Kangxi really sentenced Dai Zi to a felony and exiled him to Guanwai. Without Dai Zi, this scientific research group would have been leaderless, and since then, the firearms of the Qing Dynasty have not developed again. The Qing Dynasty also lost such a capable person who could make all kinds of weapons, and since The death of Dai Zi, no one with such talent had appeared, and the Qing Dynasty slowly began to fall lonely. If Kangxi had not listened to the villains at that time and chose to believe Dai Zi, in the end, even if the Eight-Nation Alliance wanted to attack China, it would have the strength to defeat the other side, after all, with such a capable person as Dai Zi, weapons and equipment would definitely not be backward. However, these can only be ifs.
