Emperor Xianfeng

In the Forbidden City during the Daoguang period, a "family business heir selection" quietly ended - Yi Chi, who suffered from leg problems and mediocre intelligence, used his "benevolence and filial piety" character to counterattack his brilliant younger brother Yi Xin, and ascended to the throne of the Qing Empire, changing his reign to Xianfeng. He wanted to be a conservative and wise king, but he ran into the most outrageous "headwind situation" in Chinese history: just after cleaning up the mess left by Daoguang, the thunder of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom exploded in the south. Hong Xiuquan led the believers of the "God Worship Society" all the way north, causing chaos in half of the country; the green camp soldiers were vulnerable, the court was full of veterans, and the ministers sent to counter the rebellion were either fighting among themselves or "HR supervising the war and sales." The outrageous operation; what's more terrible is that the Western powers are eyeing it, the domestic finances are empty, and even the military pay has to be raised by the local government. This was the beginning of a "change that had not happened in three thousand years": Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army suddenly emerged, changing the military system and power structure of the Qing Dynasty; the Lijin System was born, quietly shifting financial power downwards; and Xianfeng, the "misfortunate emperor" who was pushed to the forefront by history, struggled repeatedly between "wanting to do things" and "being unable to do things" - He dismissed treacherous officials and appointed loyal officials, but he could not stop the Qing army from retreating; he longed for ZTE, but he could only watch the country shatter.
