The Qing Dynasty is the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, and there are five major coincidental events in the entire history of the Qing Dynasty.
Let's talk about the five major coincidental events in the history of the Qing Dynasty to see if the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty is the reincarnation of history.
Prospered in Fushun and died in Fushun
In the 31st year of Wanli (1603) of Mingshenzong, Nurhachi, who had become the commander of the left guard of the Ming Dynasty, built Hetuala City in Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province, and he moved all the people of the Aixin Jueluo family and the cemetery of the ancestors of the Aixin Jueluo clan here.
When Nurhachi moved to Hetuala, he had basically unified the Jurchen tribes of Jianzhou, and in the forty-fourth year of Wanli (1616), Nurhachi officially established the Houjin regime in Hetuala, and made Hetuara the capital.
After fixing the capital of Hetuala, Nurhachi was like a hanger, and then won a great victory in the battle of Salhu against the Ming Dynasty, defeating the Ming Dynasty coalition army with fewer victories.
In the first year of the Ming Xizong Tianqi (1621), Nurhachi sent troops from Hetuala, captured the Ming Dynasty's Shenyang Zhongwei, in the battle of Liaoshen, Nurhachi led the Jianzhou Jurchen to achieve a great victory, completely defeated the Ming army, forced the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong strategy Yuan Yingtai to commit suicide, Nurhachi conquered more than 70 cities outside the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty lost the area east of the Liao River.
After conquering Shenyang, Nurhachi moved the capital to Shenyang, which also made the Later Jin regime have the basis for a long-term confrontation with the Ming Dynasty, and laid the foundation for his son Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty to establish the Qing Dynasty and the Qing army to enter the customs.
Coincidentally, in 1950, Nurhachi's 10th grandson, Emperor Pu Yi of the late Qing Dynasty, was extradited back to China by the Soviet Union, and then Pu Yi was imprisoned by the new Chinese government in the Fushun War Criminals Management Center, the land of his ancestor Nurhachi's Longxing.
Pu Yi spent three years in the Fushun War Criminals Management Center, where he was completely reborn, he completely bid farewell to his previous status as emperor, here he learned to take care of himself, he learned to sew tights, he finally had the basic skills to live independently in society, and he also compiled the memoirs of the first half of his life.
So this is not a historical coincidence, Nurhachi led the Aixin Jueluo family to rise from Fushun, and his tenth grandson Puyi became a war criminal in Fushun to accept the people's reform.
Orphans and widows enter the customs, and orphans and widows abdicate
In 1643, Huang Taiji, who changed the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty, died suddenly, because Huang Taiji did not have an heir during his lifetime, he died suddenly, so after his death, his younger brother Dorgon and his eldest son Hauge began a struggle for the throne.
Dolgon's desire to succeed to the throne was not supported by the two yellow banners led by Huang Taiji during his lifetime, so Huang Taiji's daughter-in-law, Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, Borzigit, secretly lobbied Dolgon, causing Dolgon to change his mind and instead support the young Fulin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, born to the Borzigit clan, to succeed to the throne, and then be regent by Dolgon.
In this way, Dorgon retreated and replaced the young Fulin as the Shunzhi Emperor, and controlled Shunzhi himself behind the scenes. With the entry of the Qing Dynasty to unify the world, Xiaozhuang and Shunzhi, who were orphans and widows, entered the Forbidden City in Beijing.
268 years later, on February 12, 1912, the wife of the Guangxu Emperor, the Empress Dowager Longyu, signed the abdication edict on behalf of the 6-year-old Emperor Puyi of the late Qing Dynasty, which immediately represented the abdication of the Qing Emperor and the official demise of the Qing Dynasty.
Also orphans and widows, the Qing Dynasty ministers in the Xiaozhuang and Shunzhi periods were all enterprising, while the Qing Dynasty ministers in the Longyu and Puyi periods mostly persuaded them to abdicate.
It can be said that the Qing Dynasty was the entry of orphans and widows, and finally the abdication of orphans and widows, which is definitely a big coincidence.
The regent led the Qing Dynasty to unify the world, and the regent led the Qing Dynasty to lose the world
After Shunzhi succeeded to the throne by his uncle Dolgon, after the leader of the peasant rebel army Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, after the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen hanged himself, when the world was in turmoil, it was Dolgon who saw the opportunity and accepted the surrender of Wu Sangui, the former commander of Ningyuan in the Ming Dynasty, and led the Qing army to defeat Li Zicheng in the Battle of Shanhaiguan with the Guanning Iron Cavalry under the command of Wu Sangui, and then Dolgon led the Qing Dynasty to enter the customs and occupy Beijing.
After entering the customs, many Manchurian nobles thought that the Jurchens were small and difficult to rule over the large number of Han Chinese, so they suggested that they plunder the capital and retreat outside the customs.
At this time, it was Dolgon who insisted on moving the capital to Beijing, and pursued and killed Li Zicheng and other peasant rebels in the name of avenging Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, and then waved his army to the south to pacify the Southern Ming Dynasty, which made the Qing Dynasty finally unify the world smoothly, and it can be said that the Qing Dynasty unified the world regent Dolgon contributed a lot.
Time turn to 1908, this year the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu were seriously ill at the same time, Cixi sent someone to send the second generation of Prince Zaifeng's son Pu Yi was only 3 years old into the palace, then Emperor Guangxu died first, Cixi was also soon critically ill, on his deathbed Cixi ordered Pu Yi and Emperor Ao Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu to inherit the throne, by Pu Yi's biological father Zaifeng as the regent and the Empress Dowager Longyu to govern.
The Empress Dowager Longyu did not have Cixi's ability and desire for power, so after Pu Yi succeeded to the throne, the country's decision-making power was basically in the hands of Zaifeng, so in the last three years of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi was nominally the emperor, and in fact the highest decision-maker was Zaifeng.
Zaifeng didn't have the ability of Dolgon, he couldn't unite the Manchurian aristocracy internally, and he couldn't deter Yuan Shikai and other Beiyang warlords externally, and the Qing Dynasty at that time was also crumbling, so he was in power for more than two years, and he was forced by internal and external pressure, plus he didn't want to resign in the name of the country.
Less than half a year after Zaifeng's resignation, the Empress Dowager Longyu decided to announce Puyi's abdication when she had no choice, and the Qing Dynasty officially ended.
This is really a historical coincidence, there were two regents in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and as a result, one regent Dolgon led the Qing Dynasty to unify the world, and the other regent Zaifeng directly let the Qing Dynasty fall.
The first queen of the Qing Dynasty was the Yehenala clan, and the queen of the deceased country was still the Yehenala clan
In 1588, the Jurchen Yehebu chieftain Yehenala Yang Jitong married his 14-year-old daughter Yehenara Menggu Zhezhe to Nurhachi, and the two gave birth to a son Huang Taiji in the fourth year of their marriage. However, in 1603, Meng Gu Zhezhe died at the age of 29, and Huang Taiji, who was only 11 years old, lost his mother.
In 1636 A.D., Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty, this year he posthumously honored his biological mother Meng Gu Zhezhe as the Empress of Filial Piety, so Meng Gu Zhezhe also became the first person in the history of the Qing Dynasty to have the title of queen, although she was posthumously crowned, but she was also the first queen in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
Time came to 1912, Emperor Guangxu's wife Empress Dowager Longyu is also Cixi's niece, their aunt and nephew families belong to the Yehenala clan, and the Empress Dowager Longyu signed an abdication edict on behalf of Puyi, which made the Qing Dynasty fall.
Soon after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Longyu also signed an abdication edict that led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and felt ashamed of her husband's ancestors, and died in depression and guilt in the second year, that is, in 1913.
Speaking of the last queen of the Qing Dynasty, everyone will think of Guo Buluo Wanrong, in fact, Wanrong and Pu Yi were married in 1922, and the Qing Dynasty had been destroyed for ten years when the two got married, but the government of the Republic of China at that time allowed Pu Yi to continue to live in the Forbidden City, and later Pu Yi went to the northeast to serve as the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, so Wanrong had the title of queen.
But Wanrong is not the queen of the Qing Dynasty in the real sense, after all, she was not married to Pu Yi when the Qing Dynasty died, and the real queen of the Qing Dynasty was Pu Yi's adoptive mother, the Empress Dowager Longyu.
Therefore, the first queen in the history of the Qing Dynasty to be posthumously honored came from the Yehenala clan, and the last queen of the dead country was from the Yehenala clan.
Interestingly, the Yehebu has always been one of the oldest tribes among the Jurchens, and its family history is much longer than that of the Aisin Jueluo family. The Yehebu had been hostile to the Aixinbu of the Aixinjueluo clan since the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, when the Yehebu defeated the Aixinbu, thus becoming the strongest tribe among the Jurchens. In the following hundreds of years, Ye Hebu and Aixinbu were good and bad, often switching between friend and foe, and the two tribes often married in good times, and fought to the death when they were bad, whether they were friends or foes completely depended on the situation and interests at the time.
Don't look at Nurhachi marrying Mengu Zhezhe of the Yehe tribe, but when he later unified the Jurchen tribes, the biggest obstacle he encountered came from the Yehe tribe, so Nurhachi dealt a brutal blow to the Yehe tribe.
After the city of Yehe was breached, Menggu Zhezhe's elder brother, Yehebu last Beyl Jintaiji, was killed by Nurhachi, according to legend, Jintaiji said before he died: "Even if my descendants have a woman, they will also overthrow Manchuria!"
Jin Tai Ji means that even if there are only women left in his descendants, they will avenge their ancestors and overthrow the rule of the Aisin Jueluo family, which is known as "the curse of Jin Tai Ji".
And the real coincidence is that the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Longyu are both from the Yehenara family, the Empress Dowager Cixi is dictatorial and misguided the country, which led to the decline of the Qing Dynasty and laid the foundation for the demise of the Qing Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Longyu signed the abdication edict and buried the Qing Dynasty directly.
A Fujian person kept Shunzhi into the customs, and a Fujian person kept Puyi out of the customs
When Dolgon led the Qing Dynasty into the customs, the greatest contributor to the Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs was Hong Chengchou, a native of Quanzhou, Fujian. And Hong Chengchou was originally the governor of Jiliao personally selected by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, and his duty was to resist the Qing Dynasty.
In 1641, Hong Chengchou commanded 130,000 troops out of Shanhaiguan to pacify the Manchu Qing Dynasty under the holy decree of Zhu Youzhen, but Hong Chengchou was defeated by Huang Taiji in the Battle of Songjin, and was immediately captured and surrendered. After Hong Chengchou was captured, Zhu Youzhen once thought that he had been martyred, and he had to pay tribute to him in person and give him a nickname, but the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender soon came, and Zhu Youzhen was embarrassed for a while.
During the Huang Taiji period, in fact, Huang Taiji was more wary of Hong Chengchou, and did not entrust him with important tasks, but only let him play the role of consultant.
When Huang Taiji died, Dolgon was more trusting and respectful to Hong Chengchou, and it was also Hong Chengchou who suggested that Dolgon enter the customs as soon as possible to occupy the capital, when the Qing army entered the customs, it was Hong Chengchou who gave Dolgon a series of suggestions, which made the Qing Dynasty finally unify the world and sit firmly in the country, it can be said that Hong Chengchou is the hero who ensured the Shunzhi Emperor to enter the customs and made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's unification of China.
And Pu Yi was able to escape from Shanhaiguan and run outside the customs to become the emperor of Manchukuo, thanks to Zheng Xiaoxu, a native of Fuzhou, Fujian.
Zheng Xiaoxu was born in a family of eunuchs, with a deep family history, he served as a staff member under Li Hongzhang, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and later served as the secretary of the Qing Dynasty legation in Japan, so Zheng Xiaoxu has a certain connection with the Japanese military and political circles.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xiaoxu regarded himself as a relict of the Manchu Dynasty, and later became the backbone minister of the restoration relied on by Puyi's teacher Chen Baochen on the recommendation of Puyi's teacher.
In 1924, Feng Yuxiang of the Northwest Army sent Lu Zhonglin to drive Pu Yi out of the Forbidden City, and then Pu Yi lived in Zhangyuan, Tianjin, during which Zheng Xiaoxu had been following Pu Yi's side.
At first, Zheng Xiaoxu did not suggest that Pu Yi defect to the Japanese, and his restoration concept was to pin his hopes on the British, French, American and other great powers including Japan to jointly govern China, so that Pu Yi could be restored with the support of the great powers.
However, with the victory of the Northern Expedition, the government of the Republic of China gradually unified China, and the European and American powers did not bother to support Puyi's restoration at all, so only the Japanese had an attempt to invade China, and took the initiative to show favor to Zheng Xiaoxu, Zheng Xiaoxu also relied on the relationship of his previous position in Japan, and got in touch with the Japanese military and political circles, and finally he suggested that Puyi go out of Shanhaiguan to the customs and serve as the puppet emperor of Manchukuo with the support of the Japanese. In this way, under the contact of Zheng Xiaoxu, he finally accompanied Pu Yi out of Shanhaiguan to the northeast to serve as the puppet emperor of Manchukuo.
So this is also a big coincidence, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it relied on the Fujian Hong Chengchou to unify China, and after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi relied on the Fujian Zheng Xiaoxu to establish the puppet Manchukuo in the northeast and became a traitor.
Write at the end
Is it that if you look closely, these coincidental events in the history of the Qing Dynasty are unexpected and unbelievable, but history is really like this, so no matter how you look at it, you feel that history is like a reincarnation.
