Since there was no bad king, why did the Qing Dynasty perish in just 276 years? In fact, like many dynasties, it was caused by internal troubles and foreign invasion, but the internal troubles and foreign invasion faced by the Qing Dynasty were more acute.
First, there were several emperors in the Qing Dynasty who were called bad emperors.
The emperor shunzhi who may become a monk. If the title of bad king is used in Shunzhi, there will definitely be many people who are not convinced. Because Shunzhi was the first emperor to enter the customs in the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that he was the founding emperor of the unified Qing Dynasty. How can he be fatuous?
It depends on whether he really became a monk, because the emperor shunzhi died at the age of 24. As for the cause of death, there are actually many vague statements in history.
What I said in Four Words is quite contrary to it. My courtiers are silent and refuse to speak, which is one of my sins. I already know, and I regret it all the time. I'm still vain, I can't change it, and my sins are piling up. This is one of my sins. Taizu and Taizong started an inheritance, which is very important. Lyna's successor should not be vacant for a long time. My son, born of a concubine, is a wise man, and he inherited the hatred. I hereby make him Crown Prince. That is to say, according to the standard system, after serving for 27 days, release is the emperor's position. Sony, Suksaha, Qi Ba Bilong and Ao Bai are special ministers. -"Draft of Qing History"
The most incomprehensible thing is that the emperor shunzhi is likely to become a monk. His beloved Princess Dong 'e died, and the emperor shunzhi didn't like the two queens arranged for him by sourdrang queen, so he was unhappy and chose to become a monk.
After Shunzhi became a monk, he left the throne to his 8-year-old son Kangxi. I think this is very irresponsible.
Obviously, without Xiaozhuang's help, Emperor Kangxi would have been killed by Ao Bai. Isn't it easy to deal with an 8-year-old child? So if Shunzhi becomes a monk, he is a bad king.
Emperor Xianfeng who was addicted to opium. Daoguang passed the throne to Emperor Xianfeng in his later years. Xianfeng also wanted to be a good emperor at the beginning, so he planned to make great efforts to govern. But the reality is cruel, and he has no corresponding ability at all.
After Xianfeng came to power, he happened to meet the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement that shocked China and foreign countries, and half of the country was taken away by others. Although Zeng Guofan and others helped, it took 13 years to put it down, and Emperor Xianfeng himself didn't see it. 1860, the British and French allied forces attacked Beijing, killed the Yuanmingyuan, robbed all the treasures in the garden, and even set fire to the garden, while Emperor Xianfeng just wanted to escape. From then on, Emperor Xianfeng was obsessed with opium and womanhood and never asked about state affairs again. He seems to feel that happiness can only be found in these two things. Therefore, Emperor Xianfeng died at the age of 365,438+0, probably because of excessive opium consumption and overworked harem.
Emperor Tongzhi who died of sexually transmitted diseases. Tongzhi emperor is more interesting. During the reign of 13, his mother Empress Dowager Cixi remained in power. Therefore, whether the Tongzhi emperor was fatuous or not had nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty.
But it is precisely because of this that Emperor Tongzhi will eat, drink and be merry without pressure. He doesn't have to worry about any major events in North Korea, he just needs to mind his own business. Results/kloc-died at the age of 0/9 because of sexually transmitted diseases caused by whoring.
Second, Yuan Shikai, a powerful minister, became an important figure in the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
There were at least three fatuous monarchs in the Qing Dynasty: Shunzhi, Xianfeng and Tongzhi, so it can't be said that the Qing Dynasty was all good emperors. However, the rate of good emperors in the Qing Dynasty was quite high, so the fatuity of emperors was not the main reason for the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
Governors should try to dissolve. Those convicted of quasi-crimes are divided into treason and banditry, and what the threatened and their families do not know should not be implicated. Zhang was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to negotiate with the British on Tibet. To the believers. Self-sufficiency, training 36 towns of the army within a time limit. Bing Chen appointed Zhang Zhidong and Yuan Shikai as military ministers and Yuan Shikai as foreign minister. Ding Si appointed Yang Shizhen as governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang. -"Draft of Qing History"
So what directly led to the demise of the Qing Dynasty? I think it's Yuan Shikai, the powerful minister. Similar to the demise of many dynasties, the rule of powerful ministers is likely to lead to the demise of dynasties.
With the support of Cixi and Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai gradually gained considerable military strength. Yuan Shikai became the hope of the Qing Dynasty in the early days of his training in North Korea. Because his recruits have the most advanced military equipment and the most advanced training methods. Therefore, both Cixi and Li Hongzhang are very optimistic about Yuan Shikai. But after a long time, Yuan Shikai naturally became arrogant, because his six northern towns became the only hope of the late Qing government.
