As the last dynasty of feudal society in China, the Qing Dynasty had 12 emperors. In the early Qing Dynasty, China's position was maintained, and the military strength of the Qing army was not too bad at first, so how did it finally turn from prosperity to decline? One thing or two can be seen from the portraits of 12 emperors in Qing dynasty.
The history of the Qing Dynasty began after the establishment of Nurhachi. If Nurhachi hadn't gone out on horseback to recover the ministries of Nuzhen, the Qing Dynasty behind him would naturally be out of the question. Huang taiji inherited Nurhachi's bravery and recovered Mongolia and Korea, but unfortunately died on the eve of the Qing army's entry into the customs.
The third emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the first emperor after entering the customs were the emperor shunzhi Fu Lin. To tell the truth, Fu Lin didn't make much achievements in his political achievements. As an emperor, he seems to have only two bright spots. One is a mother who can support the country with sourdrang queen. He gave birth to a son who created a prosperous time. As for his love story with Dong E Fei, it was not a good thing for the emperor, but a disaster.
The fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty was also the highest-rated emperor in history of qing dynasty, and so was Emperor Kangxi Michelle Ye. Kangxi acceded to the throne at the age of 8, 14. He was the longest reigning emperor in China. He was in office for 2 1 year, realized the unification of territorial integrity and sovereignty, and was busy with internal security. Everything is fine except that I lost my head in Kowloon in my later years.
Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, grandparents and grandchildren jointly created the last flourishing age of China feudal society. Yongzheng, sandwiched between Kangxi and Qianlong, seems to have a bad reputation, but in fact Yongzheng can be said to be the most diligent of all emperors in the Qing Dynasty. He is very diligent in rectifying corrupt officials. Unfortunately, he was addicted to alchemy in his later years, at the age of 58.
Aisingiorro Li Hong, the well-known Qianlong Emperor, was the emperor who actually held power for the longest time in the history of China. Although he chose to abdicate in order to respect his grandfather Kangxi after 60 years in office, he was actually in power at that time. During his reign, the territory of the Qing Dynasty was maximized, while the people lived in peace and prosperity. Many of Qianlong's great achievements were superficial efforts, and even in order to maintain the superficial flowers and plants, the state treasury was in a hurry, which laid a curse for the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
During the Jiaqing period, the most impressive thing was probably the execution of Xiao Shenyang. In fact, at that time, domestic unrest had begun, and there were frequent uprisings in various places. Jiaqing didn't realize the problem, but just suppressed it blindly. At the same time, foreign forces advanced by leaps and bounds, so that the Opium War broke out during the reign of Emperor Daoguang after Jiaqing, and the modern history of China began. Daoguang's talent was limited, but when the problems were obvious, he refused to change, which made the Qing Dynasty fall into crisis.
Yi Kuang, the emperor of Xianfeng, was the ninth emperor in Qing Dynasty and the last emperor with actual ruling power in China feudal society. After Emperor Xianfeng, the actual ruler of the Qing Dynasty became Empress Dowager Cixi. Yes, Empress Dowager Cixi is the concubine of Emperor Xianfeng. During the Xianfeng period, Zeng Guofan and other famous ministers in the late Qing Dynasty were highly valued, and they tried to suppress the Taiping Rebellion, but they were unable to do so.
Emperor Guangxu, the 1 1 th emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was not the son of the Tongzhi emperor. Because all his empresses were controlled by Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Tongzhi emperor died childless, Cixi adopted his sister's son Zai Tian as the emperor. Guangxu can be said to be the emperor who fought against Cixi for the longest time. During his reign, the authorities often attacked him. He wanted to reform, but he couldn't beat Empress Dowager Cixi. Even after the Reform Movement of 1898, he was imprisoned in Zhongnanhai.
Emperor Guangxu died in confinement at the age of 38 (it is said that he was poisoned by Cixi). Cixi died only one day later. Before his death, he made Puyi, the son of Prince Chun, who was only 2 years old, emperor, and Puyi became the last emperor in China history. 19 12, Pu Yi, a descendant of Long Yutai, changed his seal on the imperial edict of abdication in the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty ended.
Looking at the portraits of 0/2 emperors in the Qing Dynasty/KLOC-,we can find one thing, that is, several earlier emperors who could recruit good soldiers all had one. Murder? At first glance, it looks very dignified, without much decoration, very simple; The emperors who created prosperous times in the middle also had their own tolerance; But those emperors in the middle and late period had one? Depression? Weak and lifeless. An emperor is still like this, and the mental outlook of the people can be imagined. In fact, the decline of the Qing Dynasty began long ago with these 12 emperors.
