The Qing dynasty itself had problems, but they were not so serious. Including national subjugation, it is also very different from other dynasties in history. Compared with other dynasties, or governors usurped the throne, or peasant uprising, or foreign invasion, the late Qing Dynasty could not reach the level of national subjugation. Only when a new era begins, new ideas and new systems will inevitably eliminate the old ones.
And simply looking at the quality of the emperor, in addition to the last no children, but also hard. Before, the operation of establishing a sage without standing was still effective. After all, they are also longer than the women in the palace, and fighting is better than being a prince since childhood. Moreover, the prince education in the Qing Dynasty was very excessive, no better than Hengshui No.1 Middle School. Therefore, these emperors are at most divorced from the masses, but their consciousness is no problem. For example, Daoguang, we don't seem to have a very good reputation, but if you really look at his life story, it's not bad to show it to other dynasties. Diligence and simplicity, crack down on fire consumption, rectify bureaucracy, pacify chaos and ban smoking. During the Opium War, the first reaction of the British was to fuck him, but he didn't do it in the first wave, and then he did it. It's just that the level of employment is really poor, and finally I lost and signed an unequal treaty. Later generations have a bad impression on him, but if you really want to talk about it, you will lose two waves of kung fu. He will lose more money than he has beaten, and he has the face to meditate on Mount Tai. Is Song Zhenzong better? Kou Zhun made such a great contribution that he almost got the death penalty. He was demoted to Leizhou to join the army and died. Although many people think that Lin Zexu caused trouble for Daoguang and was demoted as an official, Lin Zexu was the governor of Guangxi when he died, and was an imperial envoy of Prince Taibao. Can Emperor Daoguang say it's particularly bad?
