<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >1. Qing Taizu Ai XinJue Luo Nurhaci</h1>
(Nurhaci statue)
Strictly speaking, before Nurhaci, Theramune Timur, Qingxing Zufuman, Qingjing Zujue Chang'an, and Qingxian Zutak were all forerunners of the Qing Empire, but it was not until Nurhaci unified the Jurchen tribe that the Later Jin (Qing Dynasty) first appeared on the stage of history.
The young Nurhaci had no other hobbies and loved to read, with "Water Margin" and "Three Kingdoms" being his favorites. After reading these two books, Nurhaci felt that the sky was clear, the rain had stopped, and he could do it himself. So he sent a WeChat message to the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty (Seven Hates), informing the Ming Dynasty that it was going to start invading you, and the Liaodong War opened.
Throughout Nurhaci's life, he left his armor to fight, punched the Jianzhou Elderly Home, kicked the Jurchen Kindergarten, turned around and gave Haixi a mouthful, and finally laid the victory through a protracted duel with the Ming Dynasty (the Battle of Salhu).
When we talk about Nurhaci, most historians of later generations praise Nurhaci as representing a new force of advanced and progressive progress, which is an inevitable trend in the development of the times, saying that he impacted the decadent rule of the Ming Dynasty, left a strong mark in history, made contributions to society, and so on.
But in reality?
Wherever this brave Houjin chieftain went, there was no progressive social productive forces, no development of the people's livelihood economy, only burning and looting. Small ones are rivers of blood, and large ones are destroyed and slaughtered. The fields are barren and the people are displaced. I don't know what historical inevitability is, I just know that those who blindly advocate Nurhaci should personally experience it under the saber of the Houjin army.
The man who died tragically under the horse was short of life, and the general who was good at war was heroic, and life and death were constantly staged.
Yes, Nurhaci was an excellent military expert and an outstanding politician; he had not attended a day's school or a military academy for a day; he could influence the entire liaodong war situation by relying on his own wisdom and life experience alone.
But, so what?
No one has the right to deprive others of their lives and the right to live happily and peacefully, including Nurhaci.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >2. Qing Taizong Ai Xin Jue Luo Huang Taiji</h1>
(Emperor Taiji Statue)
Not setting foot on the haunting Central Plains may be the regret of Nurhaci's life, but it doesn't matter, his son Huang Taiji is very contentious, he is a steam engine in the machine, a fighter among men. He would fulfill his father's dreams.
Huang Taiji is a very smart person. His cleverness is reflected in his policy of "outside must first be inside".
Reform is the most important behavioral symbol of Huang Taiji's life.
He carried out earth-shaking rectification of the traditional and stubborn ethnic minority cultural system, vigorously promoted the Sinicization system, and let the Houjin begin to transform from a tribe to a real country. It was also he who made Houjin, a small fourth-tier county, become a first-tier big city.
Historical experience has let us know that if any minority regime wants to become stronger and bigger, the implementation of the Sinicization system is inevitable, and this is true of the Liao, Jin, and Mongolian dynasties, as well as the Later Jin. And Huang Taiji knows this well.
Historians of the past have not spoken highly of Huang Taiji because of their deep-seated prejudices against ethnic minorities. They are often unfair in rating a character, but this cannot hide the brilliance of Huang Taiji.
He was a figure no different from any emperor in Chinese history, and he was no different from Liu Bang, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and the like.
He's a tough guy, a very tough kind.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >3. Qing Shizu Ai XinJue Luo Fu Lin (Shunzhi).</h1>
(Shunzhi statue)
As the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty to enter the Central Plains, the name of "Fu Lin" pinned on the Qing Dynasty's expectations for the beauty of the world. And our young Tianzi Fulin is also full of expectations for his future life.
With his uncle Dorgon and his mother Empress Xiaozhuang escorting him all the way, Fu Lin grew up very quickly. He was a diligent emperor and a sentimental man.
When people mention Shunzhi, they always mention a woman in passing, that is, Dong Efei.
Shunzhi loved Jiangshan, and he laid a good foundation for the descendants of the Qing Dynasty, but he loved beauty even more.
I think the reason why Princess Dong Efei was so haunted by the emperor's soul was because they composed a free and unrestrained love in that feudal and conservative era, they were equal, met and knew each other, and were a model of ancient love.
As a result, after Dong Efei died of illness, Shunzhi did not sleep well, played well, and even ate badly.
Fu Lin said: I miss my lover, I don't want to be emperor, I want to become a monk!
Empress Xiaozhuang: I will kill you a turtle grandson!
Overall, Shunzhi is a good emperor and a good man.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >4</h1>
(Kangxi statue)
As the longest reigning emperor in Chinese history (61 years), Kangxi's problems with fighting are well known. Let's take a look at a record of the Kangxi Emperor's fights:
Quan Chen Ao Bai - was pressed to the ground by Kangxi and rubbed.
Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan—Kangxi had no big problem with one dozen and three.
Taiwan's Ming regime, Kangxi, attacked with a combined fist.
The Russian invading army was signed by Kangxi on the head of the Treaty of Nebuchu.
Mongol Kaldan forces – beaten by Kangxi.
After reading this record, do you think Kangxi is a violent maniac?
Not really.
Not only was he not a violent maniac, but he was also the most accomplished emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty. You said that he likes to fight and fight, but to put it bluntly, he still opened up territory for the Qing Empire. The kangxi emperor's reputation spread far and wide, and he was once considered by foreign scholars to be the true "emperor of the ages".
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >5</h1>
(Yongzheng Statue)
It was not easy for Yongzheng to become emperor, because there were nine players participating in this tournament for the throne. And to stand out among these nine players, it depends on Yongzheng's unparalleled wisdom.
When people mention Yongzheng, they will always think of a word, that is: thick black. What is Thick Black? To use a bunch of idioms to explain, it is sinister and cunning, toying with people's hearts, superficial and behind-the-scenes.
Realistically speaking, was the Yongzheng Emperor such a person?
Yes, not only that, but more than that.
In the process of competing for the throne, he packed up his brothers and sisters half-dead. After becoming emperor, he took the ministers who had helped him vigorously (such as Nian Tangyao) into a pot. In addition, Daxing literal prison, every day idle and nothing to do unjust, false and wrong cases.
Do you say yongzheng is hateful? It's abhorrent. But you said Yongzheng was right to do this? That's pretty true.
Because in the atmosphere surrounded by tigers and wolves at that time, if Yongzheng did not become such a ruthless and ruthless person who always used politics to purge, then the fate of daqing would not know where to fall.
The emperor is the most respected person, but the emperor is also the most vulnerable person.
Because there are countless pairs of eyes, all staring at Yongzheng. He couldn't relax for a moment.
He is a complex person, if you talk about Yongzheng's complex personality, you may not be able to say one sentence or two sentences clearly. Because feminine and devious people have always been difficult to analyze.
Yongzheng is not a cruel person, but the people around him are all cruel people. Don't believe you read "The Biography of Zhen Huan", harem concubines, which one is less than Yongzheng Xin'er? (Just kidding)
Yongzheng said: It's not that I'm thick black, you're the emperor, you're like this, otherwise you'll let others play dead.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >6.Qing Gaozong Ai Xin Jue Luo Hongli (Qianlong).</h1>
(Qianlong statue)
Qianlong was busy.
Busy governing the country, busy managing the country, and even more busy studying their own interests and hobbies.
The king of seals, Qianlong, likes to collect antique calligraphy and paintings and treasures countless treasures. Especially calligraphy and painting, as long as you get it, first take out your own seal and print it, and then scribble and write on the original work after printing, light poetry, heavy writing an eight-hundred-word reading feeling. It can be called "the little prince of the ancient barrage".
King of Poetry - According to statistics, Qianlong wrote at least 45,000 ancient poems in his lifetime, which is equivalent to the sum of the creations of all poets in the entire Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately, this emperor is a literary level is really limited, even if his output alone overturns the entire Sheng Tang, but none of his poems have been selected for primary and secondary school students to read.
The reason why Qianlong is so playful and the Qing Dynasty is still so strong is because Qianlong is a person who can separate work and entertainment very widely, playing when it is time to play, and leisure when it is time to relax.
One of the more important reasons is that all the emperors before him were Ming Jun, and he himself was a very wise monarch. The predecessors went forward and succeeded him, saved the old bottom for him, and Qianlong was able to make good use of it, which led to the Qianlong Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty climbed to the peak of life, the territory was vast, and the prosperous world was peaceful.
But after the peak, there was no more peak, and the Qing Dynasty began to decline.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" >7</h1>
(Jiaqing statue)
Jiaqing was very busy, even busier than Qianlong. How busy are you? The day before the death of the Jiaqing Emperor, he was still reading the recital in the study and dealing with major state affairs.
But history's assessment of him is: Pure busyness.
Jiaqing straightened out the officials, cracked down on corruption, and eliminated the first great corruption and corruption in ancient times. It can be said that flies and tigers fight together, and corruption is caught. However, the more this is the case, the more repeatedly it is forbidden for officials to form parties for personal gain and seek private interests.
Jiaqing cracked down on reactionary forces, the Sichuan-Chu sect was in turmoil, the bandits in the southeast were plagued, and the White Lotus Sect revolted and he suppressed them one by one. But the more he suppressed the reactionary forces, the more vigorous the flames of resistance became, and a rebel organization called the Tianli Sect, hundreds of people rushed with light armor, and even smashed the imperial palace, almost taking the Qing imperial family to the end.
Jiaqing developed a small-scale peasant economy and emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. But let him toss such a meal, some places of peasants, even can not afford to eat.
Why? Why is the diligent Jiaqing always doing good things and bad things?
To put it bluntly: not enough ability.
This was an emperor who had neither management skills nor a spirit of reform, and "mediocrity" was the most obvious feature of the Jiaqing Emperor.
Although he was diligent, everything he did followed the ancestral system of the Great Qing Dynasty, and followed the steps and guidance of his predecessors step by step, and none of the things he came up with his own brains did. There was no point in him being busy.
Jiaqing was busy going back and forth, and the Great Qing was depressed day by day, but the greater abyss was still waiting for the Qing Dynasty.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" >8</h1>
(Daoguang Statue)
The ministers of the Daoguang Emperor's reign were interesting.
During the reign of the Emperor, the principle pursued by the ministers was called "prostrate more and talk less." It means that it is all listening to the emperor, and it is enough to mix it yourself.
The principle of "saying more good things and not saying bad things" when playing the folds is to "say more good things and not to say bad things", and it is enough to keep the emperor in the dark.
The Daoguang Emperor, who was tricked by the ministers, had a hard time doing anything in his life, and he had never experienced any big scenes.
Therefore, when the "Opium War" broke out, the Qing government, under the leadership of the Daoguang Emperor, painfully and happily signed the Treaty of Nanjing, which lost power and humiliated the country.
Many people can't understand that those foreign forces that have come from afar, as many as tens of thousands of people, as few as a few hundred, yang yang Huaxia, everyone spit one by one, and also drowned these people. But why was the Qing Dynasty hammered on the ground like a little brother by these foreign big brothers?
There are many reasons, but the most important one is nothing more than the emperor's fainting.
The Daoguang Emperor was like a middle-aged man with five mysteries, he didn't know what he was emperor for, nor did he know what he was going to do when he became emperor, he was like a soulless shell, living in the Forbidden City, watching the foundation of the Great Qing laid by his ancestors decay day by day - although this emperor had many excellent character qualities, such as he was thrifty, kind, and compassionate, but at that time, the Great Qing needed a vigorous and shrewd and capable emperor, not a woman who taught his husband and son in the countryside.

Source: Portrait of a Qing Emperor
Xianfeng is arguably the most miserable emperor in Chinese history, born with bad luck and bad luck.
The Taiping Rebellion, the largest, longest-lasting, and most influential peasant uprising in Chinese history, caught up.
Thousands of years of feudalism faced the challenges of the new era, the society is changing with each passing day, and the world is undergoing great changes, so he has caught up.
Foreign forces frequently invaded, and the situation and situation that no emperor had encountered in the past made him catch up.
Is Xianfeng a good emperor?
Objectively speaking, he was a good emperor.
The country's internal affairs, he can deal with, strong enemies and external troubles, he once advocated to resist. In desperation, he even launched a foreign affairs movement, hoping to become strong overnight like learning from Western countries.
Among these emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Xianfeng's ability could actually rank in the middle and upper reaches, but the situation faced by this lame emperor who loved to eat cold powder was unprecedented and unprecedented. He has worked very hard, but a new era has inevitably arrived.
The advent of modern history marks that thousands of years of feudal rule have no way to live, and no one can change this defeat. In other words, even if the three big men of Kang Qianyong were moved out, they would not be able to handle this situation, and they could only watch the Anglo-French coalition army burn the Yuanmingyuan.
Because no one can resist the development of history, and no one can resist the arrival of a new era. Even the emperor could not help.
Of course, before the Xianfeng Emperor left, he left an Easter egg for the Qing Dynasty, that is, his wife, Empress Dowager Cixi.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" >10</h1>
(Tongzhi statue)
Not a day did the young Tongzhi Emperor not feel the sinister nature of Qing politics.
The forces of the ministers left behind by the former emperor, the forces of the emperors and nobles, and the forces of the former emperors and concubines -- these three forces are fighting and fighting all day long.
Empress Dowager Cixi won.
He was the son of Empress Dowager Cixi, but this power-hungry mother had taken the lifeblood of the Qing Empire to death. It's hard to grow up and be able to govern. He vigorously implemented reforms-—— he did not reject modernization, nor did he reject Western civilization, he hoped that these things could develop faster and better in the Qing Dynasty.
So he built new schools, built roads and railways, and established the Prime Minister Yamen, the first institution in China to deal with foreign affairs, which can be called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing Dynasty.
Perhaps the Tongzhi Emperor really had the determination and ability to revive the Qing Dynasty, but people were not as good as Providence, and he only lived to the age of 19 when he ascended the throne at the age of 6 to receive a bento.
We cannot ignore the main reforms and reforms of the Xianfeng, Daoguang, and even later Guangxu Emperors. They have done their best to hope that through this means of change, the Qing Dynasty will catch up with the footsteps of the world.
But they still failed, not only in their personal behavior, but also in all the reform movements of the Qing Dynasty, because their purpose was not pure.
The ultimate goal of the emperor's desire to demand change was not to make China strong, but only to maintain his own feudal rule.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" >11</h1>
(Guangxu statue)
Guangxu's biggest opponent in life is not internal and external troubles, but Empress Dowager Cixi, let's look at a record of the struggle between the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi.
When the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the Guangxu Emperor vigorously resisted - Empress Dowager Cixi said, don't be ridiculous, you will get the indemnity for cutting the land.
The Qing Dynasty and the world were seriously disconnected, and the Guangxu Emperor supported the change of the law of Wu Shu - Empress Dowager Cixi said, what to change the law, listen to the old ancestors.
Guangxu said that I liked Zhenfei —Empress Dowager Cixi said, that's not okay, I'll kill you if you like anyone, and I'll let you marry the person I arranged.
Guangxu: I think...
Empress Dowager Cixi: No, you don't want to.
This is a person who has the idea of serving the country and saving the country, but is suppressed by Empress Dowager Cixi all the time.
Perhaps the most noteworthy thing in his life is that he was the initiator of the Penghu Transformation Law, which is the only point that the puppet emperor had to mention in his life. Although the change of law failed, this change of law opened the door to a century-old wave of reform in China, and in a sense, the Guangxu Emperor took the first step towards a new world.
But embarrassingly, the emperor fell down before he could take the second step.
The time is not waiting, there is a heart to kill thieves, and there is no ability to return to heaven, which is a portrayal of the life of the Guangxu Emperor.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" >12</h1>
(XuanTong Statue)
The Qing Dynasty ushered in his final moments and also ushered in his final master.
In the words of Comrade Zhou Enlai: You were only two or three years old when you were emperor, and you could not be held responsible for the affairs at that time. But in the pseudo-Manchu era, you are responsible.
The Qing Empire, which was hard to return to, had reached the brink of extinction under the impact of the new era, and the sound of a cannon of the "Xinhai Revolution" woke puyi up to his dream of being an emperor.
The emperor became a man in tune with the new era.
He was an ancient man, he was once the 95th Emperor, the representative of the feudal dynasty.
But the demise of the Qing Dynasty turned him into an orphan, a wanderer. What else can an emperor do if he is not an emperor?
He was a puppet of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo, he was captured by the Red Army of the Soviet Union, and he was sent back to China to study and reform at the Fushun War Criminals Management Center.
After the founding of New China, he worked hard and became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
From the last emperor to the CPPCC member, this is a great change of the times and an inevitability of history.
No words can describe this change, because this is a history that is very different from the previous five thousand years, there is no collapse of the old dynasty, no birth of a new dynasty, no death of an emperor, no rise of an emperor, everything is over. The wheels of history have rolled in.
Puyi is so special that he is not only the last emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty, but also the last emperor in Chinese history.
From the emperor to an ordinary person, what was Puyi's mental journey?
When he was expelled from the Forbidden City by the warlord and looked at the majestic and deep palace, how could he thank him?
Everything is immersed in the long river of history and passes away with the wind.
Here is the history is very interesting, after reading remember to pay a little attention to Oh ~
