How could the last years of the Qing Dynasty last so long

I deduce from this that China's development over thousands of years has been nothing more than two things: to keep the people fed and have a way to live; So that the scholars (or intellectuals or social elites) can become officials, display their ambitions, and have a way out. Whoever can basically understand these two things will inevitably have a long period of stable development in his rule.

The Qing rulers basically did both.

The Manchurians, who witnessed the devastation of the peasant wars at the end of the Ming Dynasty, were fearful, were more cautious in their administration, made more concessions to the people, and brought back potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes from the Americas by Western colonizers to China via the Philippines in the late Ming Dynasty. By the time of the Qing Dynasty, it had been widely introduced. At that time, there were no pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and intensive cultivation could not be implemented, these kinds of high-yield, starch-rich, resistant to diseases and pests, and more adaptable to drought and flood were simply gifts from heaven.

Thus, during the Qing Dynasty, China finally broke through the 60 million population curse caused by the bottleneck of arable land and grain production (i.e., with the technology and production level at that time, grain production could only feed 60 million people). Once the population crosses the line, then the earth.

Abroad was busy with the industrial revolution coupled with the implementation of sea bans and closed countries.

In history, every emerging dynasty has had a process of military prosperity to decline, and the Qing Dynasty was no exception. It's just that the Qing rulers regarded it as a succession of the army vying for the world and consolidating the world came particularly quickly. From 1644 to 1647 (the first year to the fourth year of Shunzhi), the invincible scene of the Manchurian Eight Banners was like a flash in the pan, and it never appeared again.

It takes a long time to replace an era!

Some of the absurd systems of the Qing Dynasty cultivated a large number of helpless gentlemen, and they were like a tumor left by the dynasty, constantly reminding people of the tragedy of that era.

In 1644, the Qing army invaded Shanhaiguan and made Beijing its capital.

In order to allow the officers and men of the Eight Banners to concentrate on serving on the battlefield and guarding the town, the Qing Dynasty set up a flag salary system, so that the officers and men of the Eight Banners lived according to the flag and received monthly salaries, and became lifelong professional soldiers who would not run out of money and food even if there was no war to fight.

Because of the merits of their ancestors, their children and grandchildren also lived a life of worry-free food and clothing, and they became short of dozens of people in the city of Beijing who were not scholars, workers, businessmen, soldiers, and people, and sat down and ate on the king's family. 」

This is the familiar Eight Banners disciples.

In order to play with eagles, some people do not hesitate to disagree with their eyes for days and nights; In order to make a satisfactory bird cage, some people did not hesitate to unload the ancestral red sandalwood kang case into eight pieces.

Visiting kilns, smoking big cigarettes, playing things are demoralized, extravagant and decadent ......

People who play with birds. However, play can't defend the territory after all, let alone fill their bellies. A gunshot in Wuchang made the hardcore crops of the Eight Banners who had been stiff for more than two hundred years soaked.

This group, which once despised labor and was high above, had to face the bleak life and transform collectively. They either change their minds and actively respond to change, or they haunt ghost markets and sell their property to continue to sink.

Countless bizarre stories happened to them.

The Qing Dynasty did not fall particularly quickly.

The Qing Dynasty was still first-class in the world in the early stage.

However, the closure of the country led to the gradual dissipation of internal forces.

Then the West talked about the world's industrial revolution, and it also needed to open up the market, so it naturally focused on it.

Many factors, coincidence.

1. The unintentional insertion of the great powers.

As the last great unified dynasty in our country, the Qing Dynasty inherited almost all the advantages of the previous dynasty and learned all the lessons of the previous dynasty, which made the Qing Dynasty achieve unprecedented success in empire building, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the "most successful" dynasty.

Article **2 But the flaws and advantages of the Qing Dynasty were almost as obvious, and that was the minority status of the rulers. Although for more than 200 years, the Qing emperors have been trying to bridge the differences between the Manchu and Han peoples, and the people have gradually become numb to the Sui Feng attack. However, once the hatred between ethnic groups is ignited, it can still ignite a sky-high fire, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a typical case.

However, this peasant uprising, which affected 18 provinces across the country, did not overthrow the Qing Dynasty, and the reason for this situation was the "help" of the foreign powers.

At the beginning of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the great powers maintained the so-called "neutrality" and waited to see how the situation changed. Later, because of the cold water poured by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the great powers began to side with the Qing Dynasty one after another, and even sent foreign guns to help the Qing army fight, which made the Qing Dynasty finally victorious.

Because of the intervention of the foreign powers and their own considerations to side with the Qing Dynasty, the class conflict, including the peasant uprising, began to become complicated, and the struggle of the people at the bottom against the Qing Dynasty became a duel with the Qing Dynasty and the combined forces of the Great Powers, and the difficulty coefficient can be imagined.

The feudal dynasty was already in the late stage of the Qing Dynasty, and fatigue had appeared. Although there is a prosperous era of Kangqian, it is only a return to the light. At this time, the main trend of the times was capitalism, so the replacement of feudal society was an inevitable historical event.

The dark decay of the political Zen Qingqing **. Its representative figure is Cixi, and she even celebrates her birthday, so that the military expenses of the new army become her gift money. This also led to the joke that during the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, our ** team didn't even have artillery shells.

In fact, it's not that complicated, Zaifeng said the truth back then, and the world was stable with soldiers in his hands. It's a pity that the soldiers in the later years of the Qing Dynasty were still from the imperial court? If you don't die, it's no wonder that He Cha holds it.

Civilization + Barbarism = Prosperity. The world powers, who are not armed to the teeth and also restrict the people, cannot accept such ideas, because it will have an impact on their rule, so they simply put an end to such things. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was not without such conditions, there were many missionaries who came to China to spread their ideas, at that time their intentions were very simple, but they felt that China was no longer so advanced, so they should be like China helped other countries at the beginning, in the face of the current backward China, and use ideas to save them, but I didn't expect them to be very stubborn, and these ideas completely disagreed with the Qing Dynasty's sour and demise.

Because of Li Hongzhang's contributions! It was also all because Li Hongzhang bargained with the foreigners when he signed the treaty that Dayu Tuanqing was able to delay Chuncha and linger for a period of time, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would have perished, Li Hongzhang had worked hard to destroy the eggplant at the last moment of his life, and he was scolded for betraying the country, which really shouldn't be.

First, the Qing Dynasty paid attention to the integration of Han culture, especially since the Kangxi Dynasty, cultural and ethnic integration gradually began to strengthen, and until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu and Han cultures have reached a high degree of integration sincerity.

Second, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were good at employing people, and many influential figures of that era emerged in the early, middle and late Qing Dynasty.

Third, policies such as apportioning the land into the stove hall and the introduction of new crops such as sweet potatoes have greatly eased the pressure on grain and reduced the burden on the poor.

Fourth, after entering the modern era, due to the invasion of foreign invaders, the Chinese nation shared the same hatred and hatred, and the main contradiction was with foreign invaders, which was also conducive to the stability of the Qing Dynasty itself.

The most important thing is that the policy of closing the country is more harmful than beneficial to the development of the country, but it is more beneficial than beneficial for the rulers.

Because the Eight-Nation Coalition controlled Cixi to control the Qing Dynasty, it could not survive until the 20th century, otherwise it would have received a boxed lunch.

The Qing Dynasty paid attention to the integration of Han culture, especially since Kang Gao Xingxi, cultural and ethnic integration gradually began to strengthen, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu and Han cultures have reached a high degree of lack of integration sincerity.

What does it mean to suddenly come like a night of spring breeze and thousands of trees and pear blossoms, and why can the scientific achievements of the 20th century be described in this poem?

Description Scientific and technological achievements are updated quickly, and there are many scientific and technological achievements, the Soviet Union (founded in 1922 and disintegrated into 15 countries in 1991).

Yuzhan Slavic (founded in 1918, dissolved into 5 states in 1991, now divided into 6 states).

Czechoslovakia (founded in 1918 and dissolved into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1992).

Pakistan (founded in 1947, formerly known as East Pakistan

West Pakistan, which became independent of Bangladesh in 1971).

Malaysia (founded in 1963 and Singapore withdrew from independence in 1965).

Cyprus (established in 1960 and became independent in the north as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in 1975, but was not recognized by the international community as de facto independence).

The United Arab Republic (founded in 1958, Syria withdrew from the UAE in 1961, and the UAE changed its name to Egypt in 1971).

Ethiopia (ancient country, from which Eritra Orange became independent in 1993).

This is related to the expansion of industrialization, after all, the widening of the industrialization gap was mainly in World War II.

It's hard to say, if you survive into the 21st century, you will ask, because it is weakened.

The situation is volatile, with internal and external troubles, similar to that of Iraq today.
