When did the Qing Dynasty issue the "tonsure order"? In fact, as early as their first visit to Beijing, Dourgen issued relevant orders.
Castles everywhere sent people to hold a campaign for help. This movement continued until the day when local officials who shaved their heads and surrendered to the government were promoted and made a fortune, and the military and civilians were not allowed to move. -Record of Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty, Volume 5.
But less than a month later, the "shaving order" was cancelled.
Since then, people all over the world have tied up their hair and followed suit. -Record of Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty, Volume 5.
After the Qing dynasty occupied Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other important cities south of the Yangtze River, Dourgen restored the "haircut order" and shouted the bloody slogan "no hair, no hair, no hair".
It is completely understandable to cancel the "tonsure order", because the time is not yet ripe and the Qing Dynasty also met with some opposition. But after the fall of Nanjing, this old story was told again. Is it really Dourgen's inflation?
Judging from the situation at that time, the reunification of the Qing Dynasty should be only a matter of time, but the world is still uncertain after all. Why did Dourgen rashly implement the "tonsure order"? If there are twists and turns in the future, wouldn't it be trouble?
Before Kangxi came to power, the Qing government made the worst plan: if it could not stay in the pass, it would return to the northeast.
From the understanding of the rulers, we can't see how big the Qing Dynasty was. In addition, the Qing army entered the customs under the banner of "revenge for Emperor Chongzhen". If he turned his head and shaved off the hair of an old Ming official, what was it?
In addition, it is very unreasonable to issue a "haircut order" rashly. At that time, the world was still unclear, and the Qing Dynasty was not the legitimate ruler of the Central Plains. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, you want to order tens of millions of people to shave their heads? This difficulty is indeed a bit high.
Even if the "haircut order" is implemented smoothly, who can guarantee that ordinary people will not be scolded? From the cost point of view, input and output are completely out of proportion.
Qing wants to gain a stable position in this country. There are many ways. Why use this non-mainstream method?
In my opinion, Qing didn't care about shaving at first. In other words, they are more concerned about how to consolidate their rule than threatening to be scolded for shaving their heads.
At first, Qing didn't want to force others to shave their heads, but when it comes to surrendering to ministers, Qing must have an unwritten rule: only when you shave your head can you really surrender to me.
They didn't say that, but judging from the basic facts, this situation should be common.
Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng, Wu Sangui, etc. Those who surrendered to the Qing dynasty shaved their heads before the "haircut order" was issued.
This caused an embarrassing fact: the rulers of the Qing Dynasty did not intend to force others to shave their heads, but Han officials chose to shave their heads voluntarily in order to better integrate into the Qing Dynasty. What should these people do?
The biggest advantage of the Han nationality comes from culture, which is embodied in the concrete reality, that is, the hairstyle and clothing of the Han nationality.
You can imagine such a picture: The Qing Dynasty ruled the world, and Fan Wencheng and other senior officials in China walked among a group of people with North Korean hairstyles, money and rat tails. What will people think of them?
The water is very weak. Look at those servants who don't obey their masters. They will certainly make these Han officials feel ashamed.
If you are a senior North Korean official like Fan Wencheng and have shaved your hair, do you want Daqing to issue another "haircut order"? I hope so, because in this way, not only will you lose face, but all Han people will have their heads shaved.
It is the ugliness of human nature: I can't make a fool of myself. We should be ugly together!
Others said, can't it be renewed? Why did you shave all the Han people's hair and drag them into the water?
This possibility does not exist. Shaving your head is easy to attract criticism. What would the rulers of the Qing Dynasty think once Fan Wencheng and other senior officials began to store hair? You shaved your head in the Qing Dynasty to pay tribute to me, but now it's actually a sequel. Do you want to "clear the field"?
Of course, these senior Korean officials need to be treated differently. Fan Wencheng, for example, was an official of the Qing Dynasty from beginning to end. He has the least psychological pressure. Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng and Wu Sangui are all surrender generals. They must be under a lot of psychological pressure.
No matter who he is, he doesn't want others to point at his spine and call him a traitor, although it is true.
In this case, the rulers of the Qing dynasty had to do so whether they wanted to order a haircut or not. Otherwise, those senior officials who shaved their heads in China will never be laughed at. This shame and pain will accompany them all their lives. Will they still be loyal to the Qing Dynasty?
They will think that this humiliation was brought to them by the Qing Dynasty. As long as there is an opportunity, they will try their best to ask the Qing rulers to issue a "haircut order." If their demands are repeatedly rejected, they may take risks.
On the premise that the ruling foundation is already very weak, if the Qing Dynasty quarrels with domestic senior officials again, can it still maintain its position in this country? I saw the hanging. Without the leadership of the party, how to deal with several Qing Dynasty? If you throw it into the Central Plains, you won't even splash.
Due to various reasons, Dourgen re-issued the "tonsure order" after the fall of the important town in the south of the Yangtze River. Now, Korean executives are happy: to lose face, everyone will lose face together, and no one will say who!
Shameless? Shameless. Is it useful? It is really useful. Are there any victims? Of course, Han people who don't shave their heads would rather not shave their heads, and so did the Qing Dynasty.
Yes, the Qing dynasty issued a "tonsure order", and it was themselves who were injured. In the last century, the Qing dynasty ended its 276-year rule in a cowardly way. The "haircut order" played an important role. The main reason why China was knocked down in the "great change that never happened in three thousand years" was that he shaved his head.
There are two management methods, one is vascular mixing, and the other is high pressure management. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages, and the results are completely different.
The so-called blood blending, just like the period of five Hu and sixteen countries. Although the north is ruled by different races, their achievements are either destroyed or incorporated into the main ethnic groups.
When you read this period of history, if you put aside the rule of the country, you will find that there is not much difference between the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The so-called high-pressure management, just like the Qing dynasty, strictly distinguishes between Manchu and Han, and even prohibits intermarriage, giving people the impression that "we are not one of our own."
By the Yongzheng period, the Qing Dynasty had a history of more than one hundred years, but Yong Zhengdi still said, "I am the king of a foreign country and the ruler of China". It is this alienation that made China unable to unite in the face of drastic changes, and finally ended in tragedy. Why bother?
How should Qing keep the throne? In fact, it is not difficult to judge from the cohesion of the early Qing Dynasty, which was a regime with strong vitality. Emperor Nurhachi and Huang Taiji organized various alien forces. The Qing dynasty will never die suddenly like Dayuan.
As long as the big Muslims can clean up their vested interests and let the people live a better life, the world will naturally become more stable. There is no need to use the strange and evil tactic of "haircut order"
Daming is the Han regime, but the world is orthodox. But Emperor Chongzhen did not handle it properly. Didn't Li Zicheng, Zhang and others rebel? Who are you when ordinary people have no food to eat? It's all hacked to death!
I could have been a good family, but I had to make a "haircut sequence" to emphasize the difference between you and me. This kind of arrogance and prejudice has always existed, laying the groundwork for the tragic future of the Qing Dynasty.
But then again, Dourgen had no choice at that time. There is really nothing to reconcile whether to shave or not.
If the rest of the Han people get the upper hand, those who shave their beards will only die of deep shame and embarrassment in life. If the shaved Han people have the upper hand, the remaining Han people will be forced to shave their heads or be beheaded directly.
On the surface, this decree was put forward by Sun Zhixie, a traitor, and was recognized by a few people, including Dourgen, the consul of the Qing Dynasty. But in fact, the promulgation of the "tonsure order" is more a game between the Han people entering the customs and the Han people in the customs.
When many people talk about these things in the late Ming Dynasty, they are always angry about ethnic conflicts. But in fact, before the "haircut order" was issued, ethnic conflicts could only be regarded as secondary conflicts.
If there were no disputes between Han people and few Manchu people, then what would enter the Central Plains?
How do people who emphasize ethnic conflicts explain what Li Zicheng and Zhang did? When they saw the rise of the Qing Dynasty, they still stormed Daming until Daming finally collapsed.
How do people who emphasize ethnic conflicts explain the actions of Wu Sangui and Shi Kefa? When Wu Sangui opened Shanhaiguan and led the Qing army into the customs, Shi Kefa applauded Wu Sangui.
You said that the last major contradiction was ethnic contradiction, and Chongzhen would oppose it, because the Zhu family who killed them was the most anti-thief Li Zicheng.
You said that the main contradiction at the end of the year was ethnic contradiction. Bureaucracy will definitely object, because they gnash their teeth and hate ordinary people. They will not create peace and hunger, they will follow the example of mantis.
The so-called ethnic conflict is just a cover for class conflict. However, when the "haircut order" was born together with the horizontal space, it directly injected impetus into the racial conflict. In other words, after the promulgation of the "tonsure order", ethnic contradictions gradually replaced class contradictions and became the main contradiction for a long time.
It is a tool of the ruling class of the country, and class contradictions cannot be eliminated. However, under the pressure of high-level officials in China, the Qing Dynasty suddenly performed the magic of "tonsure order", which eliminated class contradictions and shouldered the burden of ethnic contradictions. Such a regime is bound to be full of contradictions, which has been confirmed by the frequent literary inquisitions since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
