The following are the five major crimes during the Qianlong period. First of all, bureaucracy is lax and corruption is prevalent. Corruption existed in that dynasty and could not be completely banned. But it is unheard of to reach the level of corruption in Qianlong period. Of course, the first corrupt official of the dragon is. At that time, the degree of corruption of bureaucrats in the whole Qing Dynasty can be expressed in one sentence, that is, starting from small Shenyang. No official is not greedy, no official is not corrupt, and the whole officialdom is completely corrupt. Although this kind of corruption appeared in the late Kangxi period, it was put out by Yong Zhengdi in time. After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, due to Qianlong's negligence and laissez-faire, Yongzheng's efforts to rectify corruption were wasted. In the third year of Qing dynasty, the corruption of official administration went from bad to worse. The dragon is in charge of this matter. Luxury and waste, extravagance and waste. Originally, through the efforts of Kangxi and Yongzheng, the country became rich and the national treasury was enriched. However, after Wang Shifu was handed over to Ganlong, due to Gan Long's profligacy, the national treasury became stretched. One of the most representative is Liu Xia of Jiangnan. In order to imitate the emperor's grandfather Kangxi, Xia Long visited people's livelihood and investigated water conservancy. Li Hong himself said, "Southern inspection is more important than river management".
However, compared with Kangxi, the purpose of visiting Jiangnan has greatly increased. Emperor Kangxi did not hold a grand ceremony during his six southern tours. "All the inaugural palace trips, without painting, cost only one hundred and twenty thousand gold each. Compared with the river project, the annual cost is more than 3 million, less than 1%. " However, Emperor Qianlong was crowding round, accompanied by a large number of empresses, royalty and officials. Along the way, I practiced the palace, set up a colorful shed, met each other, and covered the sky with colorful flags. In order to carry tents, clothes and utensils, 6,000 horses, 400 mules and 800 camels were used, and nearly 10,000 people were recruited as infantry. Along the way, not only local officials will provide delicious food, but also many foods from all over the country. Even drinking water is a famous spring from Beijing, Jinan, Zhenjiang and other places. Liu Jiangnan didn't bring people the gospel, on the contrary, it caused a very serious disaster. Even his son Ma Xu once said, "When there are tears in the sky, people will cry, sing very high and cry very high". Third, abandon the army and reduce it.
In the Eight Banners armor of the Qing Dynasty, there were two most famous armies, the Eight Banners and green camp, who were brave and good at fighting. When Manchu entered the customs, the Eight Banners were invincible. Kangxi put down the rebellion in San Francisco, and green camp took the lead and moved to the north and south. By the time Qianlong proclaimed himself emperor, both armies had fallen. Eat, drink and be merry, set up an eagle to walk the birds, and one by one became a dude who only knew pleasure. The courage that once frightened the enemy has long been exhausted. This also laid the groundwork for being bullied by foreign powers in the later period. Fourth, Daxing Wenzi Prison can be said to be the ugliest unjust prison in the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi and Yongzheng are also masters of literary inquisition. In the second year of Shunzhi, Huang, a native of Jiangyin, was accused of writing a poem, "Even if I go against the sky, I don't know how to repay you." He was accused of fighting against the Qing dynasty and regaining sight, robbing houses and killing corpses, and his children were sent to be slaves of flag-bearers. Gan Long is better than his grandparents.
In the long years, the dense literature network and many literary disasters are the peak of the literary prison in the history of China. The literary prison formed by far-fetched attachment, literal meaning and catching shadows is out of control. During the Qianlong period, 130 or more. In 47 cases, the perpetrators were sentenced to death, which means that the living died late, the dead were slaughtered, and more than 15 male relatives were beheaded. In the nearly 300 years of the Qing Dynasty, 80% of the literary prisons were built by Qianlong. NO.5. Stand still and be arrogant, and miss the opportunity to keep pace with the world.
After the first industrial revolution, the Qing Dynasty remained the most powerful country in the world. However, all this changed during the Qianlong period. At this time, the western countries are developing bravely, but Qianlong is still intoxicated with his own fantasy of China. Just when Qianlong was ignorant and arrogant, the western countries had already started the first industrial revolution, which pushed human society into the "age of steam" and left the Great Qing Dynasty far behind. But at this time, emperor Qianlong still didn't wake up and didn't catch up. 1793, the king of England sent a special envoy to China, hoping to establish diplomatic relations with the Qing Dynasty. However, because Magalny didn't want to kowtow, Emperor Qianlong refused to meet him. This is the "paradise" image that Gan Long showed to the western countries. China missed the opportunity to keep pace with the development of the West, and Qianlong laid the seeds for the Qing Dynasty from "the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong" to "the decline of Taoism and the decline of the world" and then to extinction. It can be said that it was Gan Long who plunged China into a century of bullying.
