Video Clip: Opening Inventory of the Ten Emperors

Chapter 90 Qianlong sells melons, sells and boasts 【Subscription】

[Emperor Qianlong is most proud of his so-called "perfect martial arts". 】

[According to what Qianlong himself said: "Ten meritorious persons, ping Junggar two, set Huibu one, fight Jinchuan two, Jingtai Taiwan one, surrender Burma and Annan each. All martial arts."]

[In order to commemorate his own Shiquan martial arts, in the late Qianlong period, the 82-year-old Emperor Qianlong personally wrote "Shiquanji" on the third day of October in the 57th year of Qianlong. remember". 】

[Emperor Qianlong therefore called himself "Shiquan Old Man" and created Shiquan County. 】

Seeing this, the faces of the emperors were a little strange.

"Shiquan martial arts? Shiquan old man?"

"It's thanks to Emperor Qianlong who figured it out."

The always serious Emperor Yingzheng was amused by Qianlong.

"If this can also be regarded as perfect martial arts, shouldn't the things that I have done and the victories I have won should be called Baiquan martial arts, or even thousands of martial arts?"

"And you wrote the "Shiquanji" yourself? To record your own Shiquan martial arts?"

"Absurd! What an absurd!"

"There are still such emperors in the world."

"Shouldn't future generations evaluate the achievements of the emperor?"

"I give myself a very high evaluation, what is this?"

Ying Zheng began to understand why this old Shiquan was on the list.

Big man.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che also had an indescribable feeling when he saw this.

"Shiquan martial arts? Shiquan old man?"

"Why did I feel the irony when I heard these two sentences?"

"If the Qianlong Emperor's Shiquan martial arts can be worthy of the name, then Wei Qing has won so many victories for me, shouldn't he be called the Shiquan Great General?"

[There are not a few arrogant emperors in the history of China, but it is rare for Emperor Qianlong to boast of himself. 】

[Then, is Emperor Qianlong's self-proclaimed "ten perfect martial arts" worthy of the name, or is he "the king's wife sells melons, sells melons, sells and boasts"? 】

[Looking at Emperor Qianlong's "Shiquan martial arts", there are several battles that were really good, such as the suppression of the Junggar tribe twice, the rebellion of the Hui tribe once, and the Gurkha expedition twice. 】

[These five large-scale battles are in line with what Emperor Qianlong said: "Neither take an inch of land from another country by force, nor allow me an inch of land to others for no reason... Husbands start to fight, I don't do it, and the ancestors own the territory , dare not lose the size.”]

[Qianlong completely destroyed the Junggar Khanate through two expeditions to the Junggar tribe, and incorporated all the north and south roads of the Tianshan Mountains into the Chinese territory. This is a great achievement. 】

[Later, a rebellion broke out in southern Xinjiang, Qianlong sent troops to quell the rebellion, and finally defeated the size and scale of the rebellion, and all the Western Regions were included in the territory of China. 】

[Gurkha invaded Tibet, Emperor Qianlong sent troops twice, crossed the Himalayas, and paid the Gurkha's begging. 】

[The "five major martial arts" are all "self-defense and counterattack". They are of great significance to safeguarding national sovereignty, defending China's territory, consolidating territory and promoting unity, and they are worthy of praise. 】

[However, Qianlong's "Shiquan martial arts" are not really all "Shiquan". Several battles ended in failure, and the process was extremely ugly. 】

[For example, in the Battle of Liangping Jinchuan, Emperor Qianlong used troops on both big and small Jinchuan many times. He invested more than 60 troops, spent more than 70 military expenses, and killed and injured more than 3 people. In the end, it was only when the enemy voluntarily surrendered that he won the victory with difficulty. . 】

[Another example is the Battle of Burma, several governors of Yunnan and Guizhou appointed by Qianlong were defeated and committed suicide, and the Qing army suffered heavy losses. 】

[In the 34th year of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong once again appointed Fu Heng to lead an expedition of 1 elite soldiers to Burma, but before they encountered the opponent's main force, most of them were lost in the tropical rainforest, leaving only more than [-] people. 】

[It was not until Qianlong's [-]th birthday that the Burmese king took the initiative to send envoys to celebrate his birthday and pay tribute, and the tribute surrendered, and the war finally ended. 】

[Throughout these five battles, basically the Qing army failed and suffered heavy losses, but the victory was achieved only because of the disparity in national strength. 】

[Although their strategic goals may have been achieved, they are really not "martial arts", let alone "perfect". 】

[Therefore, Emperor Qianlong's perfect martial arts are not justifiable at all. 】

[It's just that I feel good. 】

[Old Shiquan Qianlong's outrageous operations are still to come. 】

[Looking at any era, the role of ideological progress cannot be ignored, which is also very important. 】

[There used to be "a hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend". 】

[Another example is the inclusiveness that appeared in later generations. 】

[But in the Qing Dynasty, especially the period of Emperor Qianlong, the blockade of ideas has reached the extreme. 】

[If someone dared to talk about the imperial court, they would be copied and executed by the whole family. 】

[There were more than 130 cases of literary prisons during the Qianlong period, of which 47 cases involved the death penalty, and more people were implicated. 】

[The literary prison imprisoned the thoughts of the children of China, resulting in the silence of all ideological and cultural horses at that time. 】

[The so-called literary prison is that Emperor Qianlong extracted words and sentences from poems and prose, and made up crimes to suppress literati who were dissatisfied with him. 】

[The outrageous one is "Qingfeng is illiterate, so why flip through books randomly"]

[By the time of Emperor Qianlong, the literary inquisition could no longer be further strengthened, and the traditional Chinese culture was also distorted and deformed because of this. 】

[Chinese historian Gu Jiegang believes: "In the 300 years of the Qing Dynasty, there were no documents. Is there still something that can be examined? He said: Yes, but it is more severe than the early Qing Dynasty."]

[What a crime this is. 】

[This kind of emperor, in any dynasty, is probably a huge and stupid emperor. 】

[And the territory that Emperor Qianlong has always been proud of is nothing to show off. 】

[No matter how large the territory is, it cannot conceal Emperor Qianlong's ideological backwardness and ignorance. 】

[How terrible is the ideological backwardness? 】

[Here we have to mention another stupid thing Qianlong did. 】

[This matter is the closed-door policy. 】

[It can be said that the implementation of the closed-door policy has changed the direction of history, making China, which has always been strong, stand on its laurels and move towards a backward path. At the same time, countries that once lagged behind China have overtaken them one after another. 】

[It is worth mentioning that during the Emperor Kangxi, there was a policy of closing the country, but this was fundamentally different from the Qianlong period. 】

[The young Kangxi was faced with the monopoly of Oboi in the imperial court, the third rebellion of the Liuqiu separatist regime outside the imperial court, the Junggar rebellion, and the invasion of Tsarist Russia abroad. 】

[Emperor Kangxi killed Obai, regained Ryukyu, quelled the Three Rebellions, the Junggar Rebellion, and prevented the invasion of Tsarist Russia. He basically established the current territory of China and is the defender of multi-ethnic unity. 】

[However, at that time, in order to prevent pirates from fleeing, the invasion of foreign forces, and the occurrence of anti-Qing uprisings, some measures to restrict trade were promulgated. 】

[In the reign of Qianlong, how stupid is it to close the country? 】

[In the 58th year of Qianlong, the rebellion in Tibet was put down in this year, and Qianlong also passed his [-]th birthday. He called himself a perfect old man. It was also this year that King George III of the handsome country on the far coast of the Atlantic Ocean also sent a mission to Visit Qianlong. 】

[The King of the Handsome Kingdom spent nearly [-] pounds on presents during his visit to Huaxia. The purchasing power at that time was extremely amazing. 】

[They carried a large number of astronomical instruments, advanced industrial products and some excellent weapons to demonstrate the strength of the handsome country after the industrial revolution. 】

[Emperor Qianlong attached great importance to the visit of handsome country envoys, and believed that the visit of foreigners to the court was a good thing to show the country's prestige, so he specially allowed the British envoys to log in at Jinmen, instead of going ashore from Huacheng like normal envoys. 】

[However, after the British mission arrived in China, the gifts they carried were immediately recognized as tributes. This time, the equal diplomatic relations in the hearts of the British people became a unilateral tribute pilgrimage. 】

[The subsequent exchanges were not smooth. When the handsome country mission was about to leave, they put forward three suggestions of their own, hoping to get Emperor Qianlong's approval. 】

[That is: requesting the opening of the port for trade, requesting that the port in the concession be used as a long-term warehouse, and expecting the two countries to send envoys to each other. 】

【However, Emperor Qianlong was extremely furious, thinking that the barbarian small country was arrogant, and rejected them severely on the grounds that the heavenly dynasty had a large land and abundant resources. 】

[The three issues were not resolved during Qianlong's visit, but it also allowed the British mission to see the ignorance of the Qing Dynasty. 】

【This costly trip allowed the British mission to see the weakness of the Chinese army, the arrogance of the emperor and the ignorance of the subjects. 】

[In less than a hundred years, when they came back again, the "gifts" they brought were strong ships and guns. 】
