The Qing Dynasty is China's last feudal dynasty, the historical color is very strong, the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the decline of state affairs, the descendants of the Jurchen people of the Northern Jin Dynasty rebelled, seized power, called Houjin, since then the Central Plains land has been ruled by the Manchus, in fact, at that time the Manchus were only 3 million, the army was only 200,000, and the Han people in the Central Plains had 300 million, so many Han people, but let the Manchus rule for more than two hundred years, why is this?
Reason one, although the Manchus occupied the Central Plains, but they did not use their own way of ruling, but adopted the Ming Dynasty's ruling policy, basically plagiarized, if there is anything new, maybe the Eight Flags system is counted as one, there are some small ones needless to say, the Eight Flags system is also to consolidate their own national power, the Qing Emperor knows the reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, so he tightened his grip on power, set up a military aircraft office, weakened the power of eunuchs and courtiers, so in the qing Dynasty ruled for more than two hundred years, the imperial power was very stable, There were no counter-insurgency.
The second reason is that the Qing emperors understood the importance of "brainwashing" and attached great importance to the control of the people's thoughts, as evidenced by the eight strands of literature and the prison of words. In fact, there was a text prison very early, in the Qing Dynasty, the development of the text prison reached its peak, many people were given death without offending, and many literati were also influenced. Qianlong even used the opportunity of compiling the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book" to erase all the remarks that were unfavorable to him, and in terms of thought control, the Qing rulers could be said to have done a very thorough job.
The third reason is that the quality of Manchu soldiers is much higher than that of Han soldiers, Manchus were born in the north, nomadic people, physical fitness is better, and good at cavalry, so personal combat is super strong, and Most of the Han people are farmers in an agrarian society, so even if the total population is large, but the actual combat effectiveness is not high, and the Qing rulers know that their army is strong in cavalry, so they strictly control horses, han people basically can't ride horses, and naturally there is no resistance.
Reason four, in fact, no matter who rules the country, as long as the country is safe and the people are at peace, who will rebel? The chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people were miserable, and finally calmed down, even if you are a Manchu, not to mention that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty paid great attention to the people's livelihood issues, especially Kangxi, who was very concerned about the people, and often promulgated some welfare policies for the people, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it was too late to support the rule of the Manchus.
It was for these four reasons that the Manchus ruled China peacefully and steadily for nearly three hundred years, until the invasion of foreign powers gradually disappeared. What do you want to say about this?
