As long as it is not truly brainless, as long as people who have a little common sense of modern history know that the Great Qing Dynasty is the strongest one in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties in terms of territory, population, and GDP.
However, why is it that such a court that has developed the imperial dynasty to the extreme has been insulted and cursed by so many people today? The author's point of view is that the Great Qing Kingdom is not the Great Qing State of the qing dynasty at all, and the Great Qing State is simply a group of "foreigners" of the Great Qing Country.
Why? Let's analyze one by one from the imperial court to the ministers to see if the Great Qing Dynasty is a slave group dedicated to serving foreigners!
1. Prefer to be a friend of the country and not a domestic slave
How big was the qing dynasty? Check the map of the Qing Dynasty, and until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, they maintained such a huge and vast empire. Was the Qing Dynasty short of money?
Look at how many times the GDP of the Qing Dynasty at that time was that of Japan and Tsarist Russia, look at the status of the Qing Dynasty's GDP in the world at that time, and look at the massive foreign exchange reserves of the late Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is simply too rich.
If the Qing Dynasty had no money, why could the Qing Dynasty form a modern army known as the first in Asia and the eighth in the world in just 30 years?
If the Qing Dynasty had no money, why could the Qing Dynasty set up so many nearly modern factories and facilities with such a rapid and thunderous momentum in the foreign affairs movement?
If the Qing Dynasty had no money, where did the Qing Dynasty's "filial piety" to foreigners come from? Where did the money from the Qing Dynasty come from?
Of course, it was looted from countless poor people in the Qing Dynasty.
Please remember that no dynasty, no country, no nation, the imperial court is parasitic above the people, they are all consumptive groups, they do not produce wealth, they are only administrators.
Since the money of the Qing Dynasty was exploited from the people of the Qing Dynasty through various kinds of clever plunder, why did the Qing Court not use this money to vigorously reform such a great thing as the "Penghu Reform Law" that benefited the country and the people?
If the Qing court spent all the money it squeezed from the people on its own people and the country, would the Qing Dynasty still perish?
Is the "Wushu Reform Law" really worse than Japan's "Meiji Restoration"?
Why was the imperial court of the Qing Dynasty willing to give a lot of money to foreigners, rather than implementing reforms at home that conformed to the trend of the world?
Because for Cixi and these people, if they give money to the foreigners, the foreigners will help them to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, and they will continue to maintain their position of imperial power in the country to claim the throne and hegemony, and for this reason, they will not hesitate to become the slaves of the foreigners.
If money had been invested in modernization reforms like in Japan, Lafayette Cixi would have lost his imperial power.
In the eyes of the royal families of the Qing Dynasty, as long as they can survive, they will never give up their existing power.
In order to be able to stay on the throne of the imperial system, they would shake their heads and tails in front of the foreign masters of various countries, and send money and goods to women.
For those Eight Banners disciples who occupied the Qing Dynasty court, what did the death or death of the Qing Dynasty people have to do with them?
As long as they can stand tall on their own, will they care about the suffering of the people?
As long as they can serve their group of "foreign fathers" well, as long as the foreigners allow them to continue to be their agents in the Qing Dynasty to extract money, they will always choose to be slaves in front of the foreigners, right?
2. Take Li Hongzhang as an example of a fake foreign devil
Taking Li Hongzhang and Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Marine Division as an example, is he really serving the country and the people?
Comparing Li Hongzhang's deposits in HSBC with the ammunition of the Beiyang Marine Division during the Sino-Japanese War, you can't help but ask, why did Li Hongzhang deposit so much money in overseas banks?
So-called "Qing ministers" like Li Hongzhang, they are not aware of the corruption and incompetence of the Qing court? Are they really willing to fight for the children of the Eight Flags?
Since the Great Qing Dynasty has rotted from head to toe, as the real power faction of the Qing Dynasty, who has the right to be in hand and who is not fishing?
As for when the great ship of the Great Qing Kingdom sank, would these ministers really care?
Even if they want to care, even if ministers like Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong want to reform with their hearts, as long as Cixi and the Eight Banners disciples cling to the imperial power, can their reforms succeed?
Since the Eight Flags disciples are all a bunch of nests and wastes, and they are all a group of parasites who know how to suck blood like crazy, then, as ministers, the Great Qing Kingdom is not their family, why can't they desperately fish for money, goods, and women from their homes like the Eight Flags disciples?
When everyone is hypocritical, greedy, corrupt, and fishing for the people, who is really going to serve the country and the people?
Why would a Qing dynasty minister like Li Hongzhang deposit the huge sums of money squeezed from the people of the Great Qing Dynasty into the banks of foreigners? The author tells you that because they believe in foreigners more and think that foreigners are safer there, don't they?
If you are interested in readers, you can check the descendants of Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and Yuan Shikai, and see how many of their descendants immigrated overseas, and you will find that they have long been prepared for the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
Since these Qing ministers had already dumped their children and money overseas, would they still care about the death or death of the Great Qing Dynasty?
Strictly speaking, Qing dynasty ministers like Li Hongzhang can only be counted as a bunch of fake foreign devils, aren't they?
For the ministers of the Qing Dynasty, they were like the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, they just treated the people of the Qing Dynasty as a group of blood-fed slaves, didn't they?
3. Characteristics of imperial dynasties
As an author with a clear attitude in the field of anti-imperial history, the author himself believes that all imperial dynasties such as the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties are, and their essence is the family world, and they are all historical garbage.
Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's ignorance and selfishness, after he got Jiangshan, he opened the most stringent sea ban policy in China's history (plates are not allowed to go to the sea), and thus let the Ming Dynasty miss the era of great navigation to integrate into the world.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty or Japan in East Asia, why do these emperors of the same period like to choose to close the country? Because this is conducive to dynastic rule.
In the eyes of the monarchs of the imperial dynasty, the more ignorant the people are, the smaller the scope of their activities, and even the poorer the people are, the happier they are.
Because once people have eaten and drunk enough, they will seek power like the English in 1205 (the Southern Song Dynasty), which is the situation that the monarchs of the imperial era were most afraid to see.
Why did tiny Britain conquer and rule a quarter of the planet? It was because the Magna Carta had been formulated more than 800 years earlier that the power of the king was constrained.
When a cake is shared equally, the team is likely to unite.
And what are the characteristics of the imperial dynasty? Is it a cake that only a handful of people in the nobles are eating, and the people below are not only unable to eat it but also slaves, will slaves really fight for the slave owners who know how to squeeze them all day long?
Looking at the last years of the Qing Dynasty, whether it is the Eight Banners disciples with royal blood or the "running dogs" kept by the royal family, is not one of them desperately scavenging for the people's fat and people's ointment?
Interestingly, both the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty and the ministers of the Qing Dynasty were trying to curry favor with the foreigners and give to the foreigners the money they had looted from the forty million poor people.
A court as flattering as the Great Qing Dynasty, a minister as flattering as the Great Qing Kingdom, you say he is the Qing Dynasty of the qing dynasty? Or was it the slave Qing Dynasty under the domination of the foreigners?
