When the Qing Dynasty was not strong, it was always so rubbish, wasn t it?

I think, objectively speaking, in a period when the distinction between capitalism and feudal society was not yet clear. From the perspective of economy, military, science and technology, etc., the comprehensive national strength of the Qing Dynasty before the First Sino-Japanese War has always been very strong!

However, from an institutional point of view, China lags behind the Western countries. However, in terms of economic development and population base, China has a relatively rich historical accumulation. The size of the economy in the Western world, Britain did not really catch up with China until the fifties of the nineteenth century.

And the rest of the Western countries are still somewhat behind China.

Comprehensive national strength depends on all aspects. The Qing Dynasty is basically not a cowardly country, why do you say that! Because the so-called cowardice is when a regime retreats from its opponents without waiting for a conflict with its opponents, this is cowardice!

And every time the Qing Dynasty clashed with a foreign country, it has never shown weakness for 200 years. In many cases, we have not waited for foreign countries to prepare for the use of force, and we have to deter them first. From the two Opium Wars to the final Gengzi National Disaster, the Qing Dynasty basically had an ultra-left attitude, that is, it was very tough.

Of course, whether we can win or not, that's another story. It can be said that the Qing Dynasty's bold and tough attitude, in addition to failing to see the situation clearly, on the other hand, is based on strong national strength as a backing.

The reparations for defeat are another story. If you are interested in looking at Western countries, France, Germany, Austria, which country has not been defeated and has not ceded land and paid reparations! The war itself is an extreme performance, that is, the power of the country is poured into the competition, and if it fails, it is really a failure.

There are many factors that lead to failure, and as long as you fail, there are no conditions to talk about! No matter how tough a country is, once it fails, you have to face reality!

No, in fact, the Kangxi and Qianlong periods were still prosperous, and their economic strength was the first in the world, especially the development of GDP and the army. Hope it helps.

Without the entry of Qing troops, there would be no today's three eastern provinces and Inner Mongolia.

In fact, no, before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the iron cavalry was strong, and it also defeated Tsarist Russia many times.

The Qing Dynasty is not garbage, it has always been very strong.

In fact, there are many reasons, the biggest reason is that the feudal system has obviously declined since the Ming Dynasty, and the enslavement of the common people and the ** is becoming more and more serious.

Many of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were very diligent and had a sense of crisis, but they still could not reverse the tide of history.

The first era of Chinese history is undoubtedly the Han and Tang dynasties, and the Han Dynasty is the climbing period of Chinese civilization. Tang is a minority that was sinicized after the decay of the Han people, and injected fresh blood, and finally climbed to the highest point in history.

Although the Ming and Qing dynasties also had bright spots, since the European Renaissance and the rise of modern scientific and technological civilization, China, which was based on agriculture, will inevitably be left behind by the industrial revolution.

Is China backward because of the Qing Dynasty? It was because of the Qing Dynasty that it was backward, and the policy of the Qing Dynasty was to close the country to the outside world, so China was backward.

China was the strongest country in the world at any dynasty before the Qing Dynasty. This strength is not only military, but also cultural, economic, social civilization and other comprehensive strength!

The Qin and Han dynasties, the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Ming dynasties were all the strongest countries of the same era, and the Song Dynasty was even hundreds of years ahead of the world, and the gross domestic product of the Northern Song Dynasty accounted for 80% of the world, and the steel output was twice that of the British Industrial Revolution. The Ming Dynasty led the world for 200 years and was the hegemon of the seas at that time. Zheng He outpaced Columbus by a century.

Firearms in the Ming Dynasty developed rapidly, and even machine guns were invented.

The East lagged behind the West, just after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Gu Cheng wrote in the History of the Southern Ming Dynasty: "The facts of historical progress provide the most powerful evidence. China was in a leading position in the world before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it gradually lagged behind in science and technology, but until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the gap between China and Western European countries was not large, and during the reign of Zhu Youzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was overthrown by the Dashun army, he was still diligent in introducing Western science and technology, especially firearms and calendrical calculations. The establishment of the Qing Dynasty's rule came at the cost of the great destruction of the productive forces of the whole country, and the stable rule was touted by some people and called it the prosperous era of Kang Yongqian.

It is precisely during the 100-odd years that China has been in such a "prosperous era" that the distance between China and the level of social development in the West has widened ever widen.

Less than 50 years after the "prosperous era" (if we look at the idea of some scholars touting the three emperors of Kang, Yong, and Qian, Jiaqing, who reigned for 25 years after Qianlong, should also be regarded as a good emperor who worked hard to govern the country, at least he could not be said to be a ruthless emperor), the Sino-British Opium War broke out, and the ensuing tragedy of losing power and humiliating the country was completely exposed. In his book "History of the Peasant War in the Late Ming Dynasty," the author of this book proves with conclusive facts that the Dashun Army's overthrow of the Ming Dynasty and its takeover of the entire Yellow River valley did almost no damage to social production, and swept away or dealt a severe blow to the forces of the aristocracy, officials, and gentry who seriously hindered the development of productive forces. If this momentum had not been interrupted by the Manchurian aristocracy and the renegade Wu Sangui and other Han warlords and gentry, Chinese society would have achieved relatively rapid development on the basis of what had already been achieved in the Ming Dynasty, and the history of the past 300 years or so might have been different. ”

In the early Qing Dynasty, it was not actually a super-class in the world, when Western countries were in the Age of Discovery, and several maritime powers rose one after another, but others did not come to fight the Qing Dynasty.

As for the later stage... We all know it ... It's so weak.

The early Qing Dynasty was very powerful, but not in the middle and late Qing Dynasty

Only the Qing ** is the biggest force in the country.

The Qing Dynasty, of course, was strong, but it was not good at the end of the Qing Dynasty

It was originally a backward nation, and it was still a semi-slave and semi-feudal society before entering the customs. After entering the customs, he directly brought in the slave society and returned, and the slaves were everywhere, and they were stupid and backward. It is also natural for China to regress for a hundred years and finally be beaten by the Western powers.

How can savages beat civilized people. For the demise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, everyone applauded, it was long overdue to die, it was time to perish. Regrettably, however, innocent people are also affected.

In short, it's a waste dynasty, savage.

Aversion to aliens is a human instinct.

Look at how many people he slaughtered!

Except for the territory of a larger country, everything else is a shortcoming, civilization has regressed, and science and technology have stagnated. Look at the people in Lu Xun's pen, the whole text is blind and mentally numb.
