The Qing Dynasty was a very complicated dynasty, and our feelings about the Qing Dynasty were also very complicated, as if when we entered China's modern history, all we learned was humiliation and humiliation, and all of this had to be blamed on the Qing government.
In fact, the early Qing Dynasty was very cattle, why is the Qing Dynasty very cattle, because he is the ultimate form of ancient China, what is the ultimate form, the ultimate form means that the ancient Chinese model to the Qing Dynasty here, has evolved to complete.
Ancient China had many regions, such as the Central Plains, grasslands, snowy plateaus, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Northeast Composite Regions, etc., and people in different regions have been constantly exchanging and integrating.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, it initially succeeded in mixing with the Central Plains grasslands and northeast regions, but did not form an institutionalization, and eventually led to the division and demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty because it was completely partial to Sinicization.
By the end of the Tang Dynasty, Daliao had successfully created a complete and dualistic rule logic from the system, that is, two different sets of institutions were established to rule the north and south of the Great Wall, which was the famous north and south courtyard system, the south side provided finance, the north provided military, and the Great Liao also successfully broke the curse of grassland rule for no hundred years and became a dual composite empire.
This model, by the time the Qing Dynasty was played, the Qing Dynasty was a unified multi-ethnic state, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty had a four-fold identity, which represented four different regions, and the Qing Dynasty was a dynasty that completely and completely integrated these four regions.
In the Central Plains, the emperor ruled as an emperor, according to the traditional model of governance, while the emperor was also Manjushri Bodhisattva of the snowy plateau of Tibet, and at the same time the Great Khan of Manchuria and the Great Khan of Mongolia, these four identities had different roles, supporting a vast empire.
The four regions had different roles, the traditional Central Plains provided financial and cultural support, the snowy plateau provided spiritual beliefs, and the important military power was provided by the Manchu-Mongolian Alliance, of which the military force represented by the Mongol cavalry was the most important force of the Qing Dynasty.
Senggelinqin was the most famous Mongol general of the late Qing Dynasty, representing the traditional military core force of the Qing Dynasty, who once defeated the British and French allies in the Battle of Dagukou and seriously injured the British naval commander He Bo, but at the same time faced a new enemy, he also lost Dagukou and was dismissed from his post north of Tianjin.
But this is not the most serious, in the face of a sudden enemy, the core military strength of the Manchu Qing still played a certain role, but the death of the monk Greenqin marked the failure of this traditional military force.
The monk Grinqi was probably the most resentful of the dead, he was completely killed by a no-body, who was a teenager at the time, a soldier in the Twister Army, and even he didn't know that he was ending an era.
In the face of the strong ship and cannon, the monk Greenqin still had some reasons, but in the face of the Twist Army, the tragic death after being surrounded completely announced a fundamental change in the military strength of the Qing Dynasty.
The Manchu-Mongolian alliance was no longer the core of military power, but replaced by the new local armies of the Han Chinese such as Zengzuo Lihu, and the Qing Dynasty was no longer able to rule and administer the vast territory militarily, and could only rely on the emerging military model.
And the emerging army is obviously superior to the original military model in terms of combat effectiveness, weaponry, equipment and organizational model, but this also indicates that Manchuria will soon step down, after all, the comparison of military strength will completely change everything, and the turning point of all this is the death of Senggelinqin, his death, announcing the end of an era, the steppe cavalry force, can no longer run across the road, the world has entered a new era, the strong ship cannon and the new political system, is the future look.
