Did the Summer Palace actually be built with the navy s military funds, what evidence is there, and

The construction cost of the Summer Palace was built by embezzling the military funds of the navy, which can be seen from the combat ** and equipment of the navy at that time, which was extremely poor, and the guns of some ships were not fully equipped, at least half of the military expenses were embezzled.

This is indeed true, embezzling 2 million taels of naval military spending.

From 1884 to 1895, he retired for the Empress Dowager Cixi to recuperate, and ordered the rebuilding of Qingyi Garden in the name of Emperor Guangxu. Due to the limited funds, it concentrated financial resources to repair the Qianshan building complex, and built a wall around Kunming Lake, renamed the Summer Palace, and became a palace. In 1900, the buildings and cultural relics in the park were destroyed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and they were restored in 1902.

Although the Summer Palace has largely restored the landscape of Qingyi Garden, many of them have declined in quality. Many high-rise buildings have been reduced in size due to financial constraints. For example, the Wenchang Pavilion Tower has been reduced from three floors to two floors, the Le Shou Hall has been changed from a heavy eaves to a single eaves, and there are also heightened buildings, such as the Grand Theater Building.

I don't remember.

However, the household department approves the money for the garden, not the navy.

Historical data say so, although it is more difficult to verify, but the credibility is extremely high, because the ancient royal family pursued more enjoyment, that is to spend money, under the financial constraints, of course, other places are suspected of deduction.

Cixi's funds for repairing the Summer Palace were nominally embezzled from the military expenses of the Beiyang Navy, but in fact they were the money of the governors of various places for filial piety, and they were only attached to the name of the navy's military expenses. In the autumn of 1888, Prince Alcohol, through Li Hongzhang, instructed the governors and governors of some provinces along the river and sea to repair the Summer Palace for filial piety to Lafayette. But taking into account his own image, the rulers of the year also felt that this matter was disgraceful, so Prince Alcohol came up with the idea of raising funds in the name of the navy, and finally collected a total of 2.6 million taels**.

Of the 2.6 million taels, part of it was used to build the Summer Palace, and the rest was invested in the construction of the railway. From this point of view, the money for the construction of the Summer Palace has nothing to do with the navy's funds, and this money originally did not belong to the navy. Not only that, after the war began, the Empress Dowager Cixi also took out 3 million taels from her private money to subsidize the navy.

There is no conclusion to this, and it can be said in any way.

Why did Cixi insist on building the Summer Palace? As a result, Prince Alcohol did not hesitate to embezzle naval military funds, which was surprising.

When it comes to the failure of the domestic naval battle, we can all name many reasons. One of them is that Cixi embezzled the navy's military funds, which affected the normal construction of the navy. As a result, the overall naval strength was slightly lower than that of Japan at that time, so it was finally defeated.

And we all said that Cixi embezzled the navy's military funds, and also took the money to celebrate her birthday. But to be honest, although everyone says so, it is mainly because we don't like Cixi and push all the bad things on Cixi. But it was not Cixi who really embezzled the navy's military funds in this matter, and Cixi was wronged when she died.

It was Aixin Jueluo Yiyun who embezzled the navy's military spending.

Speaking of Aixin Jueluo Yiyun, we may not know who it is, but his son is more famous, that is, Emperor Guangxu. Aixin Jueluo Yiyun didn't have any real power before. We know that after the Xinyou coup, the entire imperial court was controlled by the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and Prince Gong together.

But after the defeat in the Sino-French War, Prince GongYi XinledMilitary Aircraft Divisionwas repelled by Cixi's class, known in historyJiashen Yishu。At this time, Cixi needed to find someone she could trust. At this time, I thought of Yiyun.

Yi Xun is Cixi's brother-in-law, and he has no skills, this kind of person is more reliable and easy to control.

Therefore, after Jiashen Yishu, Yiyun began to take over the power in the name of business. In 1885, he became the prime minister of the navy. This naval yamen was newly established.

That is, the Qing Dynasty was established in order to handle the navy. At that time, all the funds for the three navies of the Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang Naval Division, the Nanyang Naval Division, and the Fujian Naval Division, were prepared by this place. That is, to manage all the navies.

In fact, no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to embezzle military funds casually, but then something happened.

In 1887, Emperor Guangxu came of age and began to govern in person. In April, Cixi began to say that she was preparing for Guangxu's marriage. In ancient times, the emperor's coming of age and marriage were definitely the standard for holding real power.

Cixi had no excuse to continue interfering in politics. At that time, Cixi said that she was going to retire and wanted to find a place to live in her old age, so Yixun said that the imperial court could build one for her. The reason why Yiyun is so concerned is because Guangxu is his biological son, and Guangxu is definitely not harmful to him when he is in power.

However, Cixi didn't want to go later, and wanted to go to the Summer Palace. Later, Yiyun thought that Cixi wanted to build the Summer Palace, so that his son could grasp the real power, so he began to find a way to raise money to build the Summer Palace.

The richest department he managed was the Navy Yamen. In fact, at that time, he mainly deducted the salaries of some people in the navy. That is, it is equivalent to not paying wages to **, and the money for other naval construction has not been moved.

With the efforts of him, Li Hongzhang and others, by the 14th year of Guangxu (1888), a Beiyang Navy led by two ironclad warships, "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan", was finally formed. So this still needs to be clarified. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would not have been able to establish the Beiyang Naval Division.

Because Cixi embezzled the money for the construction of the navy in order to fight Li Hongzhang at that time, in fact, Cixi felt that it was not particularly useful, and it was better to use it to build the Summer Palace.

Because the imperial court at that time thought that the navy was useless, and it would cost a lot of money a year, Cixi knew the importance of the navy, but she wanted to fight Li Hongzhang, so she deducted the navy's military expenses, and she thought that the Beiyang Naval Division did not have so much strength to protect the Qing Dynasty, and there were other naval divisions, so there was no need to spend more money to build the navy, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was because of Cixi's selfishness, and the vanity in her bones led to the annihilation of the Baiyang Naval Division.

In itself, in order to satisfy his own extreme desire for luxury. Politically, it is to show that he is right. In the final analysis, this queen mother, who has brought disaster to the country and the people, is just for her extreme self-esteem caused by her extraordinary inferiority!

In order to prepare for her 60th birthday, but to be precise, Cixi did not embezzle the army's money, but used other tactics to raise 2.5 million taels of silver from various places in the name of building a new army to build the Summer Palace.

Cixi was originally poor and extravagant, and she could spend as much as she wanted. In addition, at that time, she thought that the money she gave to the Beiyang Navy Division was enough to fight the war, and any more money would only increase the power of the Beiyang Navy Division, which might endanger her own rule, so she embezzled the money for the construction of the navy to build the Summer Palace.

It was possible to defeat Japan, and the reason for the defeat of the Beiyang Naval Division was the lack of funds, which led to a shortage of shells.

Even if they did not embezzle military funds to repair the Summer Palace, the Beiyang Naval Division would not be able to defeat the Japanese Navy, because the Beiyang Naval Division failed because their equipment was quite backward, and secondly, because they were attacked by the Japanese Navy at that time.

I think that the Beiyang Navy Division still could not defeat the Japanese Navy, mainly because our social system at that time was in a state of feudal blind self-confidence, and our ** was relatively backward, even if we invested this money in military supplies, we could not get a great improvement.

They had the strength to defeat the Japanese navy, but it was because they lacked military funds and didn't have many shells that they failed.
