I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 356 Lecture on "Kangxi"... (for subscription)
"I didn't expect that the Qing Dynasty was born like this."

After explaining to everyone, Chen Fan sorted out the background of the Qing Dynasty with everyone.

but.

Regarding the Qing Dynasty, after the end of Chen Fan's live broadcast, it caused a great uproar on the Internet.

"Qing Dynasty, rely on me, there is another dynasty after Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty?"

"Brothers, do you believe it or not?"

of course.

There are many novels written in this world.

There are a lot of fictional dynasties, such as Qian Dynasty, Li Dynasty, Qing Dynasty... There are also a lot of them.

But these dynasties, everyone knows at a glance that they are fictional.

but.

After Chen Fan mentioned the Qing Dynasty, it really aroused a lot of discussion.

"Of course you don't believe it. After all, there is no Qing Dynasty in our era. However, the Qing Dynasty that Mr. Chen Fan mentioned is not impossible."

"I carefully watched Teacher Chen Fan's video, and I think that even if it is put into our reality, maybe history may turn around."

"It's too exaggerated."

"No, it's not an exaggeration at all."

If it is a dynasty mentioned by others, everyone may not study it.

But who is Chen Fan.

"First of all, I think that with Teacher Chen Fan's talent, even if he is a fictitious dynasty, I also think that he is not just a fiction."

"Well, what Mr. Chen Fan said about the Qing Dynasty, whether it is the background, the events at that time, or the reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, I think it makes sense. Not only makes sense, but also, I think, the history is so true Time, it is really possible. If you don’t believe me, let me explain it to you.”

There has always been a lot of power on the Internet.

Although they don't have Chen Fan's talents, they still have a certain amount of research on history.

"For example, the reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty. According to our real world, capitalism sprouted in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and then we entered a constitutional monarchy. Of course, this entry also went through a series of complicated struggles. However, what Teacher Chen Fan said The Ming Dynasty did not go in this direction, but there were many peasant uprisings. Judging from the scale of this peasant uprising, he cut off the progress of the Ming Dynasty into a constitutional monarchy."

"Secondly, the Qing army did not appear suddenly. It had its source. The Qing army was a branch of the Jurchen branch of the Jin Kingdom, but the royal family of the Qing Dynasty was different from that of the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, when the Song Dynasty destroyed the Jin Kingdom, It did not wipe out all the people in the Jin Kingdom. In addition, due to the development of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, in the north and northwest, the Han nationality and the ethnic minorities have been completely integrated. On the one hand, they are ethnic minorities, on the other hand They also began to become the same as the Han people. Therefore, although they are a minority, they can still survive in the struggles of successive dynasties.”

"Third, as Teacher Chen Fan said, there were floods, droughts, and various plagues at the end of the Ming Dynasty. To sum it up, it was the climate problem. In fact, the climate affected a series of ancient dynasties too much. For example, a series of If the harvest is good and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there will be fewer peasant uprisings. Because the climate has too much influence on the farming season, many times a series of internal problems will erupt. And a series of internal problems will occur. With the addition of the outside, then the entire dynasty may come to an end."

Some analysis.

Although everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty is fictional, there is no such dynasty in history.

just.

Chen Fan's account of the origin of the Qing Dynasty was too rigorous and specific, so no one could fault it.

More importantly.

It is precisely because the Qing Dynasty that Chen Fan talked about is too specific and rigorous, which makes many people really think it.

If history takes a turn, the Qing Dynasty might really exist.

in this way.

Everyone became more interested in what Chen Fan said about the Qing Dynasty.

……

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, what happened after the Qing Dynasty?"

"Brother Fan, get up, we want to hear you talk about the Qing Dynasty."

"After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, what about his governance of the country?"

As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

There are too many people in history who brought down the country at once, but it is very difficult to succeed in defending the country.

It often takes only a little time to fight the country, but it takes decades or even a few years to defend the country.

"I said buddy, it's only 6 o'clock in the morning, and it's too late to call Brother Fan."

"Oh, I don't want to shout, but last night my mind was full of Qing Dynasty, and I didn't fall asleep."

"Me too. I really want to know how the Qing Dynasty will develop after that?"

At this time, everyone did not wake up Chen Fan.

For a while, everyone chatted in the fan group.

"I think the Qing Dynasty may not last for many years."

"why?"

"According to our history, we know that after the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty also perished in less than 100 years. After all, although the dynasties established by ethnic minorities had good combat effectiveness, their governance capabilities were really mediocre. In addition, the same is true for the Qin Dynasty After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, it wanted to rule forever, but in the end, the second generation died. Although Qin people are also Han people, Qin State was different from the Central Plains countries at that time.

At that time, the state of Qin had been completely integrated with the ethnic minorities, so the Qin people were both Han people and ethnic minorities.And again, their ability to govern is not very good.In addition, during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, a large number of ethnic minorities established regimes, and experienced a large number of countries, and each country was governed for a short period of time. "

This certainly does not mean that there is prejudice against minorities.

Regardless of whether they are ethnic minorities or the Han nationality, they are all part of Chinese civilization and they are also Chinese.

But Chinese civilization is still dominated by Han civilization.

Although the ethnic minorities are brave in fighting, they are not sustainable enough.

When governing a country, more wisdom is often needed instead of force.

and so.

When the minority nationalities govern the country, they are much worse than the pure Han nationality.

then.

Everyone chatted.

Although everyone is not a historian, but according to the laws of history, everyone has a general analysis of the Qing Dynasty.

"From this point of view, the Qing Dynasty was also a short-lived dynasty?"

"Well, it should be the same as the Yuan Dynasty, about 100 years, or even less than 100 years."

"Then I'm relieved."

Having said that, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, we are all Chinese.

Although ethnic minorities are also Chinese civilization, the dynasties established by ethnic minorities are not particularly enjoyable for everyone.

Like the Yuan Dynasty.

Like Jin, Liao, Xixia and so on.

and so.

Learn history ahead.

The Han, Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasties... the history of these dynasties is well studied by everyone.

but.

If you want to ask about the history of the Liao Kingdom, the history of the Jin Kingdom, and the history of Xixia... well, then not many people really know about it.

Even the history of the Yuan Dynasty, many people are not particularly clear about it.

This is not to say that the Yuan Dynasty was not a unified dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty was not only a unified dynasty, but also the most powerful dynasty in terms of land area.

But there is no way, everyone is not interested in the Yuan Dynasty.

just.

Just when everyone thought that the Qing Dynasty, like the Yuan Dynasty, was a country that did not rule for a long time.

When Chen Fan broadcast live again the next day, everyone realized that they seemed to be wrong.

……

"Brother Fan, we want to know how long the Qing Dynasty ruled?"

As soon as Chen Fan broadcast live, a group of fans asked such a question.

Chen Fan replied: "If you count from the time when Nurhachi, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, established Houjin, it would be about 297 years. If you count from the time when Huang Taiji changed the country name to Qing, it would be 276 years. Guan, from the establishment of a national dynasty, that is 268 years."

"My god...almost 300 years."

The fans were dumbfounded.

Before, they thought that the reign of the Qing Dynasty should be about 100 years, or even less than 100 years.

but.

When Chen Fan mentioned the time, it suddenly came to about 300 years.

Almost 300 years.

Such a dynasty.

Regardless of whether it is placed among all the dynasties in China, it is also a dynasty that has ruled for a very long time.

And everyone knows it.

The longer the rule, the greater the impact on Chinese civilization.

It's just that everyone still couldn't believe it, and continued to ask: "Brother Fan, is the Qing Dynasty a unified dynasty?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded.

Ashamed to say.

The famous Song Dynasty, whether it was the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, was not a unified dynasty.

of course.

Many people think that the Northern Song Dynasty is barely considered, but this is indeed a bit reluctant, because the Northern Song Dynasty did not get Youyan back.

of course.

The big unification here must say what is the big unification.

Great unification emerged after the beginning of the Qin Dynasty.

Before that, there was no real unification.

Therefore, the great unification after the Qin Dynasty became the standard of all dynasties.

The unified land area of ​​the Qin Dynasty was about 340 million square kilometers.

Although small.

But basically, such a unified land refers to Han land.

Until the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty took over the Western Regions and the Hetao area again, doubling its territorial area to more than 600 million square kilometers.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties are a little smaller, but they still have more than 500 million square kilometers.

Until the later Tang Dynasty, the land area of ​​China was directly expanded to more than 1000 million square kilometers.

Just a pity.

The Song Dynasty failed to inherit the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the territory of the Song Dynasty was the largest, but only 280 million square kilometers.

This 280 million square kilometers means that the Northern Song Dynasty not only did not inherit the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Even the land of Han that was conquered by the Qin Dynasty was not inherited.

and so.

In history, many people doubted that the Northern Song Dynasty was a unified dynasty.

As for the Southern Song Dynasty, there are only 200 million square kilometers, which is not even considered barely.

So speaking of grand unification.

The most ideal is the unification of the Tang Dynasty.

Secondly, that is the Han Dynasty's unification of the Western Regions into the version.

No matter how crowded it is, the territory conquered by the Qin Dynasty must be kept, which basically belongs to the Han land, which is 340 million square kilometers.

"Brother Fan, in other words, the territory of the Qing Dynasty is 340 million square kilometers?"

"more than."

"That's how much."

"Three times as large as 340 million square kilometers."

"three times?"

Everyone was a little scared.

Chen Fan continued: "The territory of the Qing Dynasty in its heyday was about 1300 million square kilometers, and in the late Qing Dynasty, it was about 1100 million square kilometers."

"More than 1000 million, I..."

He opened his mouth.

Everyone didn't know what to say.

This is the Qing Dynasty?

Is this a dynasty established by ethnic minorities?
He meows.

This kind of land area is much larger than the regime established by the Han nationality.

Even compared with the Tang Dynasty, it is still between brothers.

For thousands of years, in terms of land area, only the Yuan Dynasty surpassed the Qing Dynasty.

and so.

Sometimes Chen Fan also has a headache.

Although he doesn't like the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty also performed well in many places.

"Brother Fan, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"No."

"Brother Fan, don't exaggerate the Qing Dynasty so much, although I know that the Qing Dynasty you wrote is very detailed, and it doesn't look like a fiction."

"I don't want to exaggerate, but that's how he is."

"Okay, Brother Fan, tell us about the Qing Dynasty."

Everyone felt that their three views had been subverted.

For a while, the fans didn't say anything more.

For this.

Chen Fan also knew.

Although Chen Fan didn't like the Qing Dynasty, Chen Fan would evaluate some of them more objectively.

He will not completely deny the Qing Dynasty in one go.

……

"OK, let's start today with Emperor Kangxi, the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

Why start with Kangxi.

That is.

Basically, most people's understanding of the Qing Dynasty in previous lives began with Kangxi.

"Just now everyone asked some questions about the Qing Dynasty, such as the time when the Qing Dynasty ruled, the size of the Qing Dynasty...etc. Maybe, many people are very strange. Why can he rule China for so long when a dynasty founded by a minority, And being able to conquer such a large territory. This is somewhat different from the dynasties created by ethnic minorities in the past, and some are not in line with history."

"Actually, when Chinese civilization developed to the Qing Dynasty, the Han people and the ethnic minorities have been fully integrated. From the purely appearance, it is difficult for us to distinguish who is Han and who is not. Even, not only the appearance, but also the culture , language... Wait, the ethnic minorities have also begun to Sinicize, and they are not much different from us Han people."

"Thus, although the Qing Dynasty was founded by ethnic minorities, their way of governing is not much different from that of us Han people. On the contrary, they still retain the outstanding fighting power of ethnic minorities. This makes them have a better governance. They have a lot of wisdom, and at the same time, they have made a lot of contributions in expanding their territory."

"Emperor Kangxi is an emperor who has a deep inheritance of Han culture. Emperor Kangxi's real name is Xuanye, and he was born in 1654. There were rumors at that time that when Emperor Kangxi's mother greeted the Queen Mother, she saw a dragon around her when she went out. Xiaozhuang The Empress Dowager only found out that Emperor Kangxi's mother was pregnant, and then the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said, "I also had this scene when I was pregnant with Emperor Shunzhi."

Shunzhi is Kangxi's father.

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang is Shunzhi's mother, Huang Taiji's wife, Kangxi's grandma, and Da Yuer, who was famous in TV dramas in her previous life.

Simultaneously.

She is also a woman who can't even handle Dole.

As for why it can't be done?

Because Da Yuer gave birth to a son at that time.

So Dole may really like Da Yuer, but Da Yuer is more concerned about his son.

Hmm, this is gossip, Chen Fan didn't say much.

"However, Emperor Kangxi's mother was not favored, so even though she gave birth to a prince, Shunzhi didn't like Emperor Kangxi very much. In addition, Emperor Kangxi was attacked by smallpox shortly after he was born. There was no cure for this disease at that time. , and it is still an infectious disease, the probability of death is very high. So Emperor Kangxi was also taken out of the palace, but in the end Emperor Kangxi survived, and smallpox did not cause much damage to his body."

"Then, although Emperor Kangxi was not favored, he allowed Emperor Kangxi to study quietly. Since childhood, Emperor Kangxi had studied the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism, and showed a high learning talent. Later, Shunzhi, who was only 24 years old, suddenly became seriously ill. , Seeing that he was about to die, and at this time he had not registered as a prince. When he was dying, Shunzhi made Kangxi the prince. "

"However, under normal circumstances at that time, the crown prince was the eldest son of Li. Emperor Kangxi was not the eldest son, he was the third son of Shunzhi. There were two elder brothers in front of him. In addition, Emperor Kangxi's mother was not favored either. It stands to reason that Shunzhi would not establish Kangxi. But at that time, Emperor Kangxi was more mature and witty than his two elder brothers. At the same time, Emperor Kangxi was also deeply liked by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. In addition, there is another reason, that is Emperor Kangxi had smallpox."

This reason made everyone a little confused, and a group of fans asked: "Brother Fan, is it a good thing that Emperor Kangxi got smallpox, and even helped him become the emperor?"

"you can say it this way."

Chen Fan nodded: "In ancient times, there was basically no medicine for smallpox, and it was contagious. Therefore, smallpox was a very terrible disease in ancient times. However, smallpox also has a benefit. That is, if you get smallpox without dying Then, you will have antibodies, and you will never get smallpox for the rest of your life. At that time, Shunzhi was only 24 years old, so some of his sons were not very old. Under such circumstances, once other princes got smallpox, then, There's a good chance they'll die too.

But Emperor Kangxi didn't have to consider this factor, because he had smallpox and survived.This also means that Kangxi will never have smallpox in his life.Combining a series of factors, in the end, Emperor Shunzhi canonized Emperor Kangxi, who was only 6 years old, as the prince.At the same time, Emperor Shunzhi died, and Emperor Kangxi ascended to the throne at the age of 6, becoming the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty..."
