#八国联军只来了几万人 why it was running rampant in the Qing Dynasty, which has hundreds of millions of people #
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, with hundreds of millions of people, was brutally abused by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and this matter actually began with the Qing people's enslavement policy and decadent rule over the Han people.
The policy of enslavement of the Han Chinese
Speaking of Manchu Culture, many people think that they were assimilated by us, but we must remember that the Manchu Court is not as unbearable as we think, some of their high-level people also deeply understand the importance of culture, in the early days of the unification of the world, a large part of its administrative structure operation, a large part of it is taken, directly applied to the Ming Dynasty template, which is also inevitable to compromise on some Han culture, especially in the early Kangxi years, the Manchu court is still relatively recognized of Han culture. Once the political environment of the Qing Dynasty was stable, they began to suck away the cultural dross that were so-called a threat to their management, which was even more obvious during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods.
Typical such as
Confucianism and scripture were attacked, especially the "Huayi Distinction", which was particularly taboo by the Manchu Qing Emperor. The Manchu Qing strictly forbade such academic research, let alone privately edited history books, and even trampled Confucian classics such as the Book of Shang and the Book of Rites under their feet to combat the Han people's self-confidence and pride in their own culture, so that the Han people had an inferiority and self-inferiority mentality. Raising the admiration and recognition of Manchu Qing culture, the result was that from the Yongqian period onwards, although it was prosperous, it made the entire Han culture indistinguishable, and turned the people of the entire region under Manchu Qing rule into insensitive walking dead.
However, the difference is that from the Yongqian period, a large number of Han officials who served in the Qing court and some traditional scholars in the folk still maintained a strong Han cultural inheritance and achieved the earliest awakening of the late Qing Dynasty.
The decay and incompetence of the Qing court and the awakening of the Han Chinese
I don't know if you have found that in the late Qing Dynasty, the various works of the Qing court made the Han clique more united, almost controlling a large area of wealth south of the Huai River, but in view of the strength of the Qing court, there is still a great influence, the Han clique and the Qing court are only at odds with each other, secretly fighting, and then began to protect each other in the southeast, effectively curbing the Qing court, almost becoming a political atmosphere of shiyi long skills to control the Qing, and the Manchu Qing is most afraid of the foreigners, all kinds of licking and offerings, What they don't know is that this foreigner's grandfather is coming for profit.
Seeing that the Qing court was about to be slowly consumed by boiling frogs in warm water, the Qing court once engaged in the pioneering act of fighting the Eight-Nation Alliance alone with its own strength, but this initiative was very funny, the Eight-Nation Alliance landed from Tianjin Dagukou, and the main battle of the Qing court and the main peace faction had not yet been won or lost. As a result, it did not take long for the city of Beijing to be taken by the Eight-Power Alliance.
And everyone should note that when the late Qing Dynasty was about to perish, those places where there were wars with the foreigners were almost all in the north, while the south was almost unharmed, and the subordinates of Zeng Guofan once cooperated very well with the foreigners, borrowing the hands of foreigners, and the last breath of the Manchu Qing hanging was eliminated.
Later, the first figure to awaken the soul of the Chinese nation, Sun Yat-sen, originally planned to take advantage of the chaos in the world to link the hearts of the sons and daughters of China and restore the glory of the past, but as a result, Yuan Shikai gave a bad head, the warlords everywhere were more determined, or it was better to be a local emperor, at that time we walked into a period of warlord chaos, and the hearts of the people of the country were scattered again!
