Throughout the ages, because of the changes in the times, too many heroes have quietly appeared. They are the beautiful waves in the long river of history, which make people admire and envy, but also leave too many historical evaluations for us to discuss.
Among these heroes were the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. They were at the end of the feudal dynasty, and each of them showed his own ability, but also showed his mistakes and unbearableness.
If nurhaci, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, is still alive, then who will he praise and rebuke in the face of the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty? The answer can be unexpected.
One, the person who appreciates it
As the original pioneer of the Qing Empire, Nurhaci's criterion must be judged by the most beneficial to the country and the most outstanding ability, after all, he did not have emotional entanglements with these descendants, so his evaluation is often objective. So who should be appreciated?
1. Kangxi
Among these people who were praised, Kangxi was definitely the first. The reason is simple, because among the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor made the greatest contribution. The monarch took care of Ao bai at a young age and established the centralization of power. Later, san francisco was pacified to ensure national stability. This was followed by the reconquest of Taiwan to ensure national reunification.
Later, he personally conquered Geldan, and actually ensured the vast territory of the Qing Empire and the domineering spirit that had never been there. Later, in the Battle of Yaksa, it competed with the Russian Empire, although this battle was controversial, but it did ensure the dignity of the Qing Empire.
Therefore, the Kangxi Emperor was the great man who made the most comprehensive contributions among the twelve emperors, and truly pushed the Qing Empire to the world. If Nurhaci had been alive, he would have given this offspring a thumbs up and said he had done a good job.
2. Emperor Tai Chi
In addition to the Kangxi Emperor, the second person to be recognized by Nurhaci should be Huang Taiji. As nurhaci's son, Emperor Taiji not only did not abandon his father's old business, but also kept the Qing Dynasty strong enough to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
As recorded in the history books, Emperor Taiji not only forced The Koreans to submit, but also stabilized the northeast lineup. Moreover, he actually crushed the last backbone of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengzu, in the Battle of Songjin, and even let Hong Chengzu surrender.
According to Gao Xiaosong, Hong Chengzu's surrender gave the Qing regime enough wisdom to deal with the Central Plains Dynasty. Even wu Sangui's later strength was also guided to a certain extent by Hong Chengzu.
Therefore, without the efforts of Huang Taiji, there is no possibility of entering the Qing Dynasty, and the contribution made by Huang Taiji is unparalleled. Although it could not be compared with the Kangxi Emperor, it was definitely the runner-up among the twelve emperors. Therefore, Nurhaci will definitely pat Huang Taiji on the shoulder and say, son, I will always be proud of you.
3. Yongzheng
In addition to the above two emperors, if you pick out a good monarch, it should be the Yongzheng Emperor. People who have watched "Yongzheng Dynasty" know that the Yongzheng Emperor is the most tired person among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, except for the Jiaqing Emperor. He worked diligently and diligently every day to carry out reforms and adjustments, and in order to allow the Qing Empire to survive the crisis of his father's era, and worked hard to create benefits.
The yongzheng emperor spent tens of millions of dollars on the national treasury, which was much better than his father, the Kangxi Emperor, in terms of economy. Therefore, the Yongzheng Emperor would be recognized for his diligence.
Second, the person who is reprimanded
1. Qianlong and Jiaqing
Among those accused, the Qianlong Emperor and the Jiaqing Emperor should definitely be included, especially the Qianlong Emperor. According to The History Secretary, the Qianlong Emperor claimed to be a perfect old man, but he did not aspire to innovation, but lay on top of the Yongzheng Emperor's treasury and acted arbitrarily. The six Jiangnan hollowed out the national treasury, the Qing-Burma War and the Great and Small And Zhuo Rebellion, and even more depleted the country's manpower and material resources in the wrong way.
The Qianlong Emperor was too consumed by the country, and he was completely unaware of the reform of the Western world, resulting in the decline of the Qing Dynasty, so the Qianlong Emperor was bound to be fiercely criticized, especially his sentence "The Heavenly Dynasty has everything in the kingdom" would even be punished 10,000 times.
In addition to Qianlong, the Jiaqing Emperor would also be scolded. But the Jiaqing Emperor was scolded not because of his incompetence, but because of his mistakes. The Jiaqing Emperor was very diligent all his life, and the intensity of his work was comparable to that of the Yongzheng Emperor, but he could not find the right way to face a mess, and as a result, he went in the wrong direction under the blind efforts. If Nurhaci saw him, he would definitely scold him for not showing up.
2. The Guangxu Emperor
The last person to be scolded was the Guangxu Emperor. Don't look at the previous history books that always accuse Empress Dowager Cixi of being ignorant and ignorant, but in fact, if you have read Mr. Gao Yang's "The Complete Biography of Cixi", you should know that Empress Dowager Cixi was one of the few able people who could stabilize the political situation at that time.
Because the Guangxu Emperor's actions were too rash, in the Sino-Japanese War that year, the emperor was too hasty, and as a result, Li Hongzhang was in a dilemma and signed the Treaty of Maguan. Later, using Kang Youwei, he actually tore his face with Empress Dowager Cixi, and even broke the balance of the imperial court, resulting in a deeper and deeper contradiction between mother and son, and even led to the Eight-Power Alliance War.
The Guangxu Emperor was not incompetent, but he did not have good emotional intelligence, and he had ideals but misbehaved Kang Youwei, resulting in the complete disruption of the Qing Empire. The fall of chess pieces on the ground became the basis for Kang Youwei's ascension to the heavens.
If the Guangxu Emperor had been able to act prudently and kick Kang Youwei out of the game as soon as possible, step by step, the Qing Empire would never have fallen into the joke of declaring war on eleven countries with the strength of one country. Therefore, if Nurhaci were alive, he would definitely blame the Guangxu Emperor, and especially teach him and the Jiaqing Emperor how to be a qualified emperor.
Third, history is like smoke
Of course, Nurhaci has been dead for many years, and he does not know the history of the royal sword, nor can he comment on these descendants. But we can still evaluate these monarchs according to historical facts. In general, the monarchs of the Qing Dynasty were basically very powerful, because they all at least met one basic principle, that is, they were more serious in their work, and they were more responsible except for the Qianlong Emperor.
Compared with those monarchs of the Ming Dynasty, these emperors are all above the passing line, which is relatively rare. But unfortunately, no matter how rare their performance is, they are in a period of decline in the feudal dynasty, and the better they perform, the less likely it is for the country to face adjustment.
To take a very simple example, a company has completely rotted, and its existence is a sin in itself. The emergence of more and more people in this company to turn the tide is a mistake in itself, and it is better to let this company collapse as soon as possible and quickly enter the new generation.
Therefore, most of these emperors of the Qing Dynasty are actually not wrong, but only their position and the era they are in. If these emperors in the Qing Dynasty had changed eras, in the middle or even early stages of the feudal dynasty, they might have had a better evaluation.
But unfortunately, everything has become irreparable, history has gradually dissipated like smoke, and Nurhaci can only remain silent in the dust of history.
epilogue
In fact, through the above historical analysis, we can also see the helplessness of a dynasty and history. When a founder tries his best to create his own glory, the future development of his family business is unpredictable.
The reason is actually very simple, when you are alive, you can try your best to fight the territory to the maximum, and even destroy all the enemies. But no one can be sure that their children and grandchildren will be able to hold on to this country, nor can they be sure that there will be enemies in the future that even they cannot deal with.
Like the Kangxi Emperor, he made the Great Qin Empire one of the largest empires in the world at that time, and even Tsarist Russia did not dare to compare with it. But so what? He prevented all his enemies and destroyed them, but he did not expect a British Empire or that little Japan would do so much damage to us.
The greatest beauty of history is uncertainty, and as the business magnates feel, I can't find an enemy with a telescope. Therefore, history is not long-lasting, only to do a good job of oneself, to do a good job in the present, and the descendants have their own descendants.
