No matter how troubled and depressed you are, you must at least come out and show your face every day, especially a walk before bedtime.Unless it is particularly tired, Huahuang will insist on taking a walk before going to bed, which is Huahuang's requirement for himself.However, when the emperor is not particularly tired, his mentality has been maintained very well, even when he is fighting, the emperor is rarely very nervous, the country has just been reunified, everything is in its infancy, this is all reality, it is not in a hurry to change immediately.So, at about eight o'clock in the evening, Hua Huang and Jie Gege held hands and went to the garden.Generally, the Chinese Emperor walks with Princess Katrina Kaf, but Princess Katrina Kafu never takes the initiative to find the Hua Huang, especially today, Princess Katrina Kafu knows that His Majesty may not want to talk to her very much, let alone pester His Majesty."
Hey, it's only May here, and it seems to be a little hot."
Hua Huang had nothing to say."
But we'll talk about that later."
Jie Gege listened to His Majesty's incompatible words, didn't know what His Majesty meant, and didn't know how to answer.Gege is not stupid, she is also a clever woman, but she is talented in politics, she can't catch up with Princess Katrina Kaf, and she is too little a girl for national affairs, but for His Majesty's emotional grasp, Gege will not lose to Princess Katrina Kaf."
Your Majesty, Spain and Italy belong to the capitalist countries of Western Europe, and most of Western Europe belongs to the developed countries.Why are they so rich" Jie Gege asked softly, "What about the United States, doesn't Your Majesty always say that the United States is also developing rapidly, and will it be our opponent in the future?"
President Meng explained: "The developed countries of Western Europe are very different from the capitalist developed countries in the Americas, such as the United States, the United States has the most powerful national strength, military and economy in the world, so the United States is a developed country.But some small countries in Europe, such as the Vatican and Romania, do not have strong economic power or even military forces, but they are also developed countries.There are two main reasons for the development of Europe: the bourgeois revolution and the triangular trade. ”"The bourgeois revolution, I know, is the industrial revolution plus the corresponding changes in the form of government, but what is the triangular trade?"
asked Geig, blinking his eyes.Hua Huang knew that Gege wanted to help him solve his problems, but he was not impatient, and explained: "Europe was the first to carry out a bourgeois revolution, which made Europe quickly enter the capitalist system and begin to accumulate capital.The triangular trade is a period of history of Western Europe's external expansion in the 16th century, and the triangular trade accumulated a large amount of primitive wealth for the capitalist countries of Western Europe, which has not been used up to this day. ”Jie Gege sighed, "So that's the case, no wonder these countries are so rich, what about the original court" Jie Gege didn't say that the Manchu court was fine, as soon as he said the Manchu court, the Chinese emperor was angry.How can the Manchus compare with these Western European countries, and now they have no strength in their hands, and it is not the Manchu Qing that harms them, because the social changes of the Chinese Emperor are in a very gentle way, and the Manchus do not say that the civil landlord class is poor, but that the country is poor, and the treasury has no money.Emperor Hua suppressed a group of officials, and the people were very angry, otherwise, even if it was corruption, it was corruption during the Qing court, and Emperor Hua basically did not pursue it.The Qing court didn't have any money, and the army was a mess.If you don't have money, you should keep more hardware, sell what should be sold, upgrade what can't be sold, the Qing court is a mess, what to upgrade or even disband a lot of local armies in the Qing court, the emperor has to post money out.The reunification of China is very good, and the society is very stable, but these are all at the expense of the Chinese emperor slowing down the development speed of the whole country, especially the upper level of science and technology, industrial science and technology are divided into the middle and low level and the upper level, the upper level is the national heavy industry, military industry, these are the state directly take money, the Chinese emperor does not have much money in his hands, and the development speed of the upper level of science and technology will definitely be affected.The army of the Qing court was lax, did not practice, and discipline was lax, and the army was negligent in drilling, and discipline was abolished.None of this compares with Europe at the same time.When Emperor Jiaqing was still the crown prince, he once paraded with Qianlong, but what he saw was "archery, and the arrow was false."
galloping horses, people fall to the ground".The soldiers of the Green Battalion were paid very little and were exploited by the officers.Therefore, I had to earn my own livelihood and run other businesses, and I just took being a soldier as a side job.There is no discipline and no drills, so that the morale of the army is not solid, the thinking is lax, the energy is scattered, and the skills are rusty.The Eight Banners were degraded due to corruption, so although the Qing Dynasty had 220,000 Eight Banners and 660,000 Green Battalion soldiers, it was already corrupt and seriously lost its combat effectiveness.Before the Opium War, tobacco and drugs flowed into the army, and there were many drug addicts among officers and soldiers, which caused a serious crisis of weak soldiers.In addition to opium smoking, the phenomenon of gathering in the military to gamble is relatively common.The forbidden brigades in the capital are often in groups of three or five.Carry a cage and a rack of birds, wander all day long, or even get together to gamble.When asked about his name, he was all in armor for patrolling the city, and he had never been on duty, but he hired someone to replace him and embellished things.Cavalry often had no horses, and sailors knew no water.The generals don't care about military affairs, they are ignorant, greedy for life and afraid of death.The soldiers were undisciplined, poorly trained, and had serious vices.By the time of the Opium War, the Eight Banners, the Green Battalion, the Xiangyong, and the regimental training were useless, and hundreds of thousands of Qing troops were defeated by more than 10,000 British expeditionary forces.Military prestige collapsed.From the hands of the Qing court, the Hua Emperor really inherited a poor and white mess, and now although Hua has established its own complete military system, it is still in the consolidation stage.This way of overthrowing a government to power is certainly not as good as the way of inheritance.Even if the Qing court's army is rotten, leave some weapons for President Meng, so that Hua Guo can sell it and cash out directly, and the Qing court also has insufficient military spending and inferior weapons.The army did not leave a little inheritance to the emperor, so forget it, the most angry thing about the emperor was that the people were also made into a miasma by the Qing court.During the Opium War, Yang Fang, the minister sent by Emperor Daoguang to Guangdong to command the war, thought that the British ships were rampant and that there must be "evil arts" among them, so he ordered the collection of civilian toilets to break their "evil arts", but failed miserably.At the time, people ridiculed him as "a dung bucket is still a clever plan, and the filthy sound spreads all over the city".Emperor Daoguang sent the Yangwei general to Zhejiang to meet the battle, Yi Jing regarded the war as a child's play, because he dreamed that the British army "abandoned the land and boarded the boat to sail to the sea", and sent "detectives, if there is a matter of transporting weapons back to the ship", he thought it was a good omen; Prayed to the Guandi Temple, and the revelation of the tiger's victory, he formulated a battle plan for the counterattack on Ningbo, Zhenhai and Dinghai from Shaoxing.However, the British army obtained information and made early preparations, and the Qing army of the three routes was defeated.What a country is most afraid of is the ignorance of the whole, which is the biggest enemy of China's civilization speed.Due to the above-mentioned reasons, although some officers and men bravely resisted the enemy and although the people's anti-aggression struggle won partial and individual victories, they could not reverse the outcome of the entire war, still less the outcome of the Qing government.Even if the whole people are ignorant, the most frightening thing is cultural corruption and the imprisoning of the imperial examination and the implementation of a strict cultural authoritarian policy.We have always adopted a two-handed policy of both grace and power toward the broad masses of intellectuals.On the one hand, the imperial examination system was implemented, and the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" were used to imprison people's minds, and on the other hand, the literary prison was vigorously promoted and brutally suppressed intellectuals who were slightly full of ideas or propagated "heresies."
For example, Shen Deqian's chant of Hei Mudan has a sentence "Seize Zhu Fei Zhengse, and the different species are also called kings", which is considered to be a mockery of the alien rule of the Qing Dynasty, and as a result, he was dissected and poked at the corpse.Hu Zhongzao has the verse of "a handful of hearts and intestines on turbidity and clearness", and Qianlong instructed "adding turbidity words to the country name, what is the heart".Hu Zhongzao was executed by Ling Chi.In the Qianlong Dynasty, there were more than 77 cases of similar literary prisons.This kind of authoritarian rule will inevitably lead to a dark and silent society.After the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were imperial examinations, shadow raids, donations, guarantees, and the selection of officials from new-style schools or foreign study returns.Therefore, the backwardness and chaos of the system of electing officials at the end of the Qing Dynasty was also an important cause of corruption.Western European countries made money for hundreds of years through black trade, while the Qing court was economically corrupt and suppressed national capitalism for hundreds of years.The rulers of the early period tried to maintain the economic basis of combining individual small agriculture with cottage industry, and suppressed national capitalism.China's national capitalism has been devastated by both foreign capital forces and domestic feudal forces, and its growth has been extremely difficult.Although the restrictions on national enterprises were relaxed in the later period, from the perspective of the tax system alone, national capitalism still did not have the conditions to compete with foreign capitalism.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the excesses and miscellaneous taxes were always under the banner of "New Deal funds", so that the high-sounding reform measures were mostly turned into "tyranny" by corrupt officials and corrupt officials to rip off the common people.The order was issued to collect stamp duty and military expenditures, without taking into account the affordability of the people.As a result, the people's grievances are everywhere, and the grief is everywhere.All in all, the rulers of the Qing government became their own gravediggers, and it buried itself with corruption.Hua Huang has not seen the appearance of society in the late Ming Dynasty, but Hua Huang personally believes that the state hardware at the end of the Qing Dynasty may not be comparable to the end of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, at least the end of the Ming Dynasty did not imprison people's minds like this, and the firearms of the late Ming Dynasty were first-class in the world at that time.President Meng seized the world of the Qing court, and indeed did not make any effort, when the Chinese army quickly entered the customs, and took Beijing in less than half a month, and the overall situation of the world was pacified.Therefore, it must not be said that Emperor Hua overthrew the Qing court by himself, but that Emperor Hua seized the opportunity of history and gently hit the seven inches of the Qing court and killed the giant python.t1706231537:
