Chapter 605
"The Ming Dynasty emperors were actually a lot of stupid people. Many people ignored the government and did a lot of ridiculous things. However, they had a very complete cabinet management system, so no matter how stupid the emperor was, the basic process of the country was fine, just how to make the country No one will take care of it anymore. Chinese civilization has been in a position to maintain its success for thousands of years. After all, its own country is too big, so it is good to be managed well. Those countries that like to conquer actually collapse in the end. The great cause of conquest has been around since ancient times, but the emperor is not good after all, and the country is in chaos. Therefore, the country was destroyed later in the Ming Dynasty, which was also a great tragedy," said the man in white.
Jian Yumei listened to his words and kept nodding.
"The Qing Dynasty originated from Changbai Mountain. According to legend, their ancestors were born of a woman who ate a fruit given by a divine bird. A generation of holy lords was born. They took the tribesmen of the Later Jin Dynasty to start the road of conquest at the foot of Changbai Mountain. They first depended on it. The Ming Dynasty wiped out its opponents that fell outside the pass, established a small regime, and then slowly began to become independent and became an opponent of the Ming Dynasty," said the man in white.
"That's the same as Li Yuanhao's Western Xia. The only difference is that they succeeded and established a powerful dynasty that unified the country. Li Yuanhao failed to fight to Xi'an. After all, he was defeated," said Jian Yumei.
"Yes, after the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, the North Korea and Mongolia surrendered to them and began to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Although they suffered a lot of setbacks, they had guidance from experts. After the repeated failures of the Ming Dynasty, they changed the name of the country. Not called the Later Jin, but called the Qing, Qing Keming, the Later Jin was Ming Keming, so Nurhas died in the Ming army. After Nurhas, the leader of the Later Jin, was killed by the Ming artillery fire, the Later Jin invited him. Experts advised them, and experts told them that metal is metal, Ming is fire, and fire overcomes metal, so the war between Later Jin and Ming will not go smoothly. If it is changed to Qing, Qing belongs to water, and extinguishing fire, it is okay, so Later Jin will be changed immediately. For the Qing Dynasty, after the reform, the Qing Dynasty began to gradually gain the advantage of war.
Since the name changed, the Qing Dynasty began to successfully gain the advantage of the war against the Ming Dynasty. Although there were good ministers like Yuan Chonghuan in the Ming Dynasty, they were still killed by counter-espionage schemes and destroyed the Great Wall. This is how it was. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty was in great strength and was always looking for it. The opportunity entered Beijing," said the man in white.
"I heard that Yuan Chonghuan died unjustly. Not only was he executed by Lingchi, but he was hated by the people of Beijing. They all stepped forward and cut his flesh with a knife to eat it, because his charge was to sell the country, and the general people were still very excited. ," Jian Yumei sighed and said.
"Yes, the people's hearts are available, and the people's strength is available. In ancient times, the people's rulers were not suitable for the present, because the world was originally the people's, and the people should enjoy it themselves, not the holy lord. The people now have long awakened, To achieve people's rule is a great cause for the ages," said the man in white.
"People's governance, great cause," Jian Yumei murmured.
"Yes, so it makes sense that the people of the West can govern the people and enjoy it. This can ensure that the prosperity will last for a long time," said the man in white.
Jian Yumei remembered Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s ideals and his lifelong struggle.
He nodded.
"The Qing people finally entered Beijing with the cooperation of Li Zicheng. It was also a blaming Li Zicheng himself. The peasant family was born but could not get rid of some bad habits. When they entered Beijing, they shot the sky in the Forbidden City. How could the sky use bows and arrows to go He also indulged his subordinates torture former Ming officials everywhere, trying to get a lot of wealth, but is wealth important in the world? His general directly snatched Chen Yuanyuan, the woman of Wu Sangui, the general of the Ming Dynasty Shanhaiguan, and that woman became a woman. The man in white sighed at the hatred of eternity in history.
"The hatred of eternals, yes the hatred of eternals," Jian Yumei repeated.
"That Chen Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai at that time, was taken to Beijing and abandoned. Later, she entered the palace. However, after Emperor Chongzhen was with her for a few days, he lost the city because of the war with the Qing Dynasty. He felt bad, so he thought it was The woman let him lose the city, he let Chen Yuanyuan out of the palace and fell into Wu Sangui's hands. Wu Sangui really liked Chen Yuanyuan, so after Li Zicheng's general Liu Zongmin snatched his woman, he really won the championship. Angry for the beauty, he colluded with the Qing army to enter the pass. When Li Zicheng heard the news that the Qing army was about to enter the pass, he hurriedly dispatched troops to intercept it. Unfortunately, it was a critical moment of the war. He was attacked by Wu Sangui's army and Li Zicheng was defeated. Returning, the Qing soldiers took advantage of the situation to enter Beijing. Think about it, Li Zicheng's mob was not an opponent of the Qing army. Li Zicheng retreated all the way and finally died in Jiugong Mountain. Of course, some people say that he was not dead, and that mystery is left to you. Forever," the man in white looked into the distance and said slowly.
At this moment, Lin Li and Tie Xiaohe were on the side. They knew that Jian Yumei was talking about very important things. They were looking around on the side. They were curious about a lot of things, the building of the Echo Wall, the Hall of Prayer for You, where they were slow. Slow research.
Jian Yumei continued to have a conversation.
"The Qing Dynasty entered the pass, and in fact, there were still many cruel kills at the beginning. For example, the three massacres of Jiading in Yangzhou on ten days and days, they were actually very cruel. But why, hundreds of years later, the Han people did not hate the Qing people much. This is There is a reason,” said the man in white.
"Yes, the Qing people were still very smart. After entering the pass, they were different from the Yuan people back then. The Yuan people were cruel national oppression, which continued until the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people had a little status. None of them were. Women had to give their first time to the Yuan people. These things made the Han people angry and they must drive them away. However, after the Qing people entered the pass, some systems of abandoned fertile land were implemented at the beginning, but later they all Gradually changed, they followed all the systems of the Ming Dynasty, including the palace and here, etc. Their emperor also made many gestures to attract the favorable impression of the Han people and enter the officialdom. The Qing Dynasty emperors even felt grateful for the powerful massacre in Yangzhou, Jiading, and even exempted them from After three years of taxation, we also worked hard to revise the "Siku Quanshu" to preserve the Han culture. Although they deleted all the things that were unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty, they were also preserving the Han culture and allowing the Han people to There would be no danger of extermination of the clan. In the end, the Han people's mental defense was finally lifted. Although the literary inquisition was still in progress, and although the Qing emperor said that he wanted to find a few descendants of the Zhu family to guard the Ming Dynasty's imperial tombs were heard, the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen's The third prince of Zhu lost his guard and finally revealed his identity unintentionally and was reported. In the end, the Qing emperor still executed him to death. But overall, the Manchu and Han were basically a family, which was the most successful place for the Qing emperor," continued the man in white.
"Yes, that third prince Zhu was also wronged at that time. Someone used his name to rebel. The Qing emperor would definitely not let him go," said Jian Yumei.
"Overall, the Qing emperors were pretty good. Basically, they all received very strict education since childhood. Except for Puyi, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were basically very smart. They had strict training in governing the country since childhood. Unlike many emperors in the Ming Dynasty, there were no such many eunuch rebellions in the Qing Dynasty, so there was a prosperous era. For the people, enough food and rice and rich in the world is a prosperous era. Since the Han culture is immortal, it can When it reaches its prosperous era, why bother to care about which clan the emperor belongs to? Therefore, many great scholars did not object to their disciples coming out of the mountain, but everything would be over. Originally, the imperial power of China was already in the Ming Dynasty. There was a significant weakening, and the voices of citizens began to appear. After being strengthened by the Qing Dynasty, it was still to the extreme, that was, it was not far from the final collapse," said the man in white.
"Yes, so that the Kanggan prosperous era is also a prosperous era, but Western civilization has begun to rise at this moment. That prosperous era is just a closed prosperous era. Although the people are still rich, they can no longer withstand the blow of Western civilization." Yumei said.
The man in white looked at him and nodded: "Yes, Qianlong asked the European envoy to kneel down to him. If they don't kneel, they are no longer an autocratic society and have no habit of kneeling. They ask for business, and he replied that China is vast and rich, There is no need for trade. You need our things. We don’t object to selling some of them to you. This attitude will definitely be very annoying for those European industrial countries that are expanding. People will definitely want to find opportunities to enter your country and sell things to you. If you make your money, if you are not strong, you will still divide your world, enslave your people, and force you to steal everything,"
"Yes, they have established colonies everywhere. For very backward places, they will directly colonize. For places that can't be defeated, try to take advantage of them. However, if it is a nearby country, I still want to share your land. We We are like a lamb by unequal treaties from European countries in the distance, and by nearby countries, we are like a lamb," Jian Yumei sighed.
"These past events are unbearable to remember," said the man in white.
"Yes, you are all masters. You know these things better than us. But sooner or later we will destroy them. After all, this is the majesty of the country," said Jian Yumei.
"It was not easy for Li Hongzhang and the others to sign these treaties. I remember this time when Li Hongzhang decided to agree to the compensation, he cried and a famous minister died. He vowed not to go to the Japanese district again in his life." Said.
The man in white said, "Yes, after all, it's his own country. His national strength is not good, and he has no confidence. Look at the Kuomintang and the United States, they always let him bear the pressure of this raising," he said.
