Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 75 The Painful Lesson, If You Fall Behind, You Will Be Beaten
[Qianlong's own cultural level is actually quite good.He has been studying since he was a child, and he knows the ancient Chinese classics like the back of his hand, and his language ability is even stronger. He is proficient in Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian, Tibetan and Uyghur, which is unique among the emperors of all dynasties. 】

[At the same time, he wrote more than 4 poems in his life. Although almost none of them have been handed down, it does not prevent him from being the poet with the most poems in the world. 】

In Li Longji's world.

Poet Immortal Li Bai is lying on the window edge of a high-rise building in Chang'an City at the moment, drinking wine while watching the live video.

When he saw Su Qian say that Qianlong wrote more than 4 poems in his life, the wine jar in his hand fell on the window sill inadvertently, and then rolled and fell to the ground, causing a lot of scolding .

Li Bai muttered to himself: "More than 4 poems??? The old scalpers in the field don't bring such work."

"I made more than 4 poems, but none of them have been handed down. This is really delicious and fun, and Du admires it!"

"Bah!" Someone couldn't help but yelled, and cursed: "Shameless!!!"

【Qianlong has made certain contributions to Chinese culture, but he has seriously hindered the development of new culture.

In order to strengthen his rule over the land of China, Qianlong engaged in literary inquisition, which seriously hit the enthusiasm of intellectuals and caused a huge blow to Chinese culture.

In the process of compiling the "Siku Quanshu", a large number of books that were not conducive to the rule of the Qing Dynasty were listed as banned books and destroyed, making many books permanently lost, and the destruction of culture is self-evident.

Although Qianlong himself wrote many poems, there are no classics, and there may be only a few poems worth mentioning. 】

Qianlong was very speechless, he loved to compose poetry but not many fine works, he admitted.

However, to engage in literary inquisition and destroy books that are not conducive to this dynasty, he believes that many emperors have actually done it in history, but Su Qian singled him out as a model, which is too obvious.

[Qianlong actually had many achievements in his early years, and he can be regarded as a wise emperor. 】

[However, in his middle and later years, Qianlong began to become insensitive, leading to a turn from prosperity to decline in national power, and laying the foundation for China's dark history of extreme humiliation! 】

Zhu Di frowned, and said to himself: "A dark history of extreme humiliation? Is it even more humiliating and darker than the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms???"

"The emperor of a foreign country is really unreliable, but it's a pity that Lao Zhu's descendants failed to keep our Han country!" Liu Che said with a bit of hatred.

Li Longji sighed: "Another emperor who was first enlightened and then fainted, but it seems that he is even more stupid than me in history."

Zhu Youjian's eyes were red and he stared at the light screen, "Damn it. I wish I could send troops to wipe out your Manchu Tartars immediately!"

[Next, let's take a look at Emperor Qianlong's mistakes. 】

[The first point is also the most important point that caused him to rank fourth in the fatuous emperor: blind arrogance, lagging behind and being beaten! 】

【Emperor Qianlong succeeded to the throne in 1735 AD. After Emperor Qianlong ruled the Qing Dynasty for 20 years, the industrial revolution began in Britain at the same time. At this time, the era of machine manufacturing and mechanization is quietly coming. 】

"Britain!!!" Emperor Kangxi suddenly saw the word "Britain" again, and couldn't help shivering.

"Industrial Revolution? What does that mean?"

"Machine manufacturing, the age of mechanization??? What a mouthful!"

"Although I can't understand it, I feel that Emperor Qianlong missed something very powerful!"

[When Britain has begun to experience cross-generational development, the common people in the Qing Dynasty are still in the stage of making products by hand. Compared with the spinning machines and steam engines in the UK, they have shown a backward trend of generation gap. 】

【However, when Emperor Qianlong faced the huge changes in the world, he was not even touched at all. He still regarded himself as a kingdom of heaven and regarded others as barbarians. 】

[In the 58th year of Qianlong, Britain sent a mission to visit the Qing Dynasty. 】

[At that time, it was already commonplace for various countries to visit other countries in the form of missions.

However, the British envoys who came to the Qing Dynasty this time not only came to celebrate Emperor Qianlong's birthday, they also came with an unknown purpose, that is, to inquire about the internal reality of the Qing Dynasty.

At first, the British envoys only wanted to open up new markets for Britain through negotiations, because they were still afraid of the strength of this mysterious oriental power.

However, when the British envoys found out the real situation of the Qing Dynasty's external power and internal interference, they began to show their sharp claws and fangs to the Qing Dynasty! 】

[Only 40 years after the death of Emperor Qianlong, the first Opium War broke out!
And the Huaxia nation has officially opened a long, extremely dark and humiliating history of ceding land for compensation, falling behind and being beaten! 】

"!!!"

"Britain! Sure enough, it's England again!!!"

"The situation of long cession of land and compensation, lagging behind and being beaten?"

"Blindly arrogant, mistake me for Huaxia!"

At this time, Emperor Kangxi Xuanye suddenly recalled the video of himself taking inventory, "Shangshen Su seems to have said the same thing about me, saying that I rejected new technologies and let the Qing Dynasty rest on its laurels.
The industrial revolution, mechanical manufacturing, these things I have never heard of, and these are all invented by Western barbarians?

From this point of view, if my Qing Dynasty wants to regain its advantage, it has to bow its head and learn Western knowledge? "

Thinking of this, Kangxi had a look of struggle and unwillingness.

But after only a dozen or so breaths, Kangxi's face became firm again, "I am the only wise emperor in the Qing Dynasty! I must set a good example!
It's just learning knowledge, it's not about bowing your head, I'm done! ! ! "

When Qianlong Emperor Hongli saw this, his face became a little ugly, "I just follow the ancestral system, this pot can't be thrown at my head, right?"

Hongli is actually right to think so, he just acted according to the rules and regulations formulated by Kangxi, and perfected and "carried forward" it by the way.
【One step behind, every step behind!

What's more, when the western countries were making great strides forward, the Qing Dynasty was still retreating on its own.

When Western countries knocked on the door of the Qing Dynasty with advanced hot weapons such as Krupp cannons, Maxim machine guns, and Gatling machine guns, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty could not even defeat the thousands of people from the Eight-Power Allied Forces! 】

[Although there are various problems such as the decay of the army, there is no doubt that there is a huge gap between the Qing Dynasty and the West by an era! 】

"Hiss!!!!" Countless people couldn't help but gasped when they saw this.

"Thousands of 10 people can't beat thousands of people?!!!" Qin Shihuang's eyes widened, and he looked at the light curtain in disbelief.

"What kind of army is it that has such terrifying combat power?!" Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Zhao Kuangyin and others who knew the soldiers felt that they were a little unimaginable at the moment.

"Krupp cannon, Maxim machine gun, Gatling machine gun?"

The Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly felt that the names of these weapons sounded familiar, "Where did Ai Jia hear ministers mention these things?"

Yes, she had indeed heard the names of these weapons.

Because these weapons have actually been introduced into the Qing Dynasty, many of them are now sealed up in the arsenal.

It is a pity that these advanced weapons have never attracted the attention of Cixi and the ministers. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered BJ, these weapons did not even appear on the battlefield.
