Throughout the world, no country has ever suffered as much as the Chinese nation.
In the course of the millennium, the Chinese nation has formed a multi-ethnic country.
How to deal with the contradictions with the surrounding ethnic groups has become a problem that successive rulers have had to consider.
The Central Plains Dynasty and surrounding ethnic minorities
During the Qin and Han dynasties, the two emperors of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, relying on their strong national strength, carried out dimensionality reduction strikes on the surrounding ethnic minorities.
Qin Shi Huang achieved the effect of "Hu people dare not go south and herd horses", while Emperor Wudi of Han achieved the effect of "those who violate my strong Han will be condemned from afar".
Unfortunately, with the progress of history, many people have found that war is not the best way to solve problems. There's no better way to do it than to be both rigid and soft.
Emperor Taizong of Tang, assisted by a group of wise ministers, adopted a policy of gentleness and vigorously promoted a policy of peace.
In order to avoid a direct conflict with Tubo, he even arranged for Princess Wencheng to marry far away to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Over time, this national policy was inherited by successive rulers.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty was an exception, as it was an old enemy with the Mongols in the north. After all, the country of destroying people is not a small hatred.
In order to effectively defend against the Tatar, Vara and other Mongol tribes in the north, the Ming Dynasty rebuilt the Great Wall.
Time turned to the Qing Dynasty, and the situation reversed by 360 degrees.
The Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty once climbed the Great Wall and said to the ministers kneeling on his knees: "The Great Wall is a ruined city. ”
His courage, heart and pattern directly followed the Qin Emperor Han Wu. In order to suppress the surrounding ethnic minorities and make them submit to the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty.
He took on the policies of his predecessors, first of all, he never renounced the use of force to solve problems. Secondly, after the force, he will not kill them all, but like a cat catching a mouse, he will immediately send a piece of honey.
For example, in the attitude towards Tsarist Russia, the first step was to adopt the Yaksa counterattack war, so that Tsarist Russia knew that our Chinese nation was not easy to provoke.
When Tsarist Russia realized the problem, it immediately handed over a sweet date, and the two sides signed the Treaty of Nebuchu.
This is the way of handling the contradictions between foreign nationalities and their own nationalities after they have become intense, and the contradictions between their own nationalities have arisen, and it is another way to deal with them.
The Qing Dynasty had a relatively clever approach to dealing with such problems, and solutions were given before the problems arose.
and Princess Shuo Duanjing
In order to better manage relations with the northern Mongols, Aisin Ghora married him from generation to generation. According to the "Qing History Manuscript", the number of times Manchu and Mongolian peace reached 586 times.
This is only an official record of royal marriages, and if you add intermarriages between the people, there are countless of them.
Among these many marriages, the most notable is undoubtedly the marriage of Princess Heshuo Duanjing. The Kangxi Emperor loved this daughter very much and knew that marrying a foreign country was a chore.
A rich dowry was prepared for him, and a huge procession rushed from Beijing to Serbia.
Just like Zhaojun in those days, this group of mountains and rivers is far away, and I am afraid that he will never have the opportunity to return to the hometown where he was born and grew up in Si. Her husband was born in Laqin Banner, whose Chinese translation is as Garzang. Girls who marry always love to fantasize about what their future husbands will look like.
Princess Heshuo Duanjing is no exception, and like all royal women, her marriage is a gamble. She once heard from her father and the emperor that her aunt Gu Lun Shuhui married into Serbia.
She is gentle and virtuous, generous and elegant, unlike the women outside Serbia. When my husband saw it, he was fascinated by it.
The two have been immersed in the ocean of love, and they are still like glue until they are in their sixties. As far as the country is concerned, the better their relationship, the more stable the relationship between the two sides.
In other words, the relationship between the two parties is based on the feelings of two people. The Kangxi Dynasty mentions a princess - Lan Qi'er.
Lan Qi'er, under the arrangement of Kangxi, married Gerdan of the Dzungar tribe.
Goldan had always had an antipathy, and the Kangxi Emperor knew that he had an antipathy. But at that time, Kangxi was making every effort to recover Taiwan. In order to paralyze the other party, he can only take the next step and sacrifice the happiness of his daughter Lan Qi'er.
Lan Qier is a complete love brain who does not know the truth of "people can do everything".
This is an allusion left over from the Spring and Autumn period, anyone can be their husband, but there is only one father.
Lan Qier didn't understand, and ended up in a desperate situation.
Unlike Lan Qi'er, Princess Heshuo Duanjing was well aware of her mission and often returned to Beijing to report to Kangxi.
In this way, all of Garzang's every move was under Kangxi's control.
In the end, Garzang is not as good as a pustule waste, but he does not dare to go head-to-head with the Great Qing Dynasty, after all, the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great.
In order to vent the anger in his heart, he began domestic violence. Every time he returned to the tent after getting drunk, he always gave the princess a crazy punch and kick.
Princess Pu Liu is weak, and she can withstand such a storm.
Until, when he was drunk, he ignored the princess's pleas and kicked her in the stomach. The princess was pregnant at the time, and this kick directly caused heavy bleeding, and soon after, the princess died of jade.
In ancient times, the way of transmitting news was different from today, it was extremely slow, and it took a few months to reach Kangxi's ears.
Although Kangxi was a monarch, he was also a father.
It's just that sometimes he has the country first, and then the family. Under the grief, he wanted to cry without tears.
In order to vent his daughter, he warned his daughter's spirit in heaven. At the same time, he also gave Laqin Banner a dismount, and he issued two orders:
First, a tomb must be built for the princess to commemorate her sacrifice for peace between the two sides.
Second, he summoned Garzang to Beijing and was not allowed to return to Serbia for life.
After waking up drunk, Garzang was undecided, always living in terror.
He thought about meeting each other in arms, and when he saw the elite soldiers of the Eight Flags displayed in the border plug, he instinctively chose to go to the capital and began a career of personal house arrest.
The Kangxi Emperor did not give him luxurious treatment, but only provided him with food to survive.
At the same time, he divided the Lamqin banner into three and placed three other men as three tribal leaders, successfully weakening its strength so that it could no longer resist the central government.
Finally, the construction of the tomb of the princess. The princess's burial place covers an area of ten acres and is not luxuriously decorated, but it is enough to see Kangxi's longing for his daughter.
If you have the opportunity to travel to Chifeng City today, you can also see this well-preserved tomb.
The marble stele at the entrance bears a brief introduction to the princess and a eulogy written by the Kangxi Emperor to his daughter. A thousand years later, you can still read a father's deep and helpless love for his daughter.
