Blood and Tears in the Late Qing Dynasty: Suffering Stolen
Do you think the worst thing about the late Qing Dynasty was the land cessation and compensation? Wrong! The worst thing is that the troubles caused by the imperial court are all caused by the common people's lives!
Cixi had a meal of sixty dishes, officials were greedy and lived in mansions, and they could not pay a single cent of the nearly 700 million taels of silver compensation for "Maguan" and "Xin Chou". Turning around, he increased the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes dozens of times, and pounced on the people on the loess slopes like hungry wolves.
Changing children and eating them is not a wild history legend, it is an everyday reality. Children and women were sold for less than half a liter of rice, and they died of hunger on the roadside with no one to collect them. Harsh officials came to collect taxes and forced the whole family to hang themselves and throw themselves into the river. The history books are full of "national humiliation", but not even a single name of the people who starved to death was left.
This book removes the last fig leaf of the rulers of the late Qing Dynasty and exposes the big lie of "all the people share the same difficulties"! Those ordinary people who have no "power" to lose and no "country" to humiliate are never witnesses of national humiliation, but victims sacrificed by the ruling class. Today, I am going to tear apart the centuries-old historical veil and let you see the most bloody and inhumane underlying truth of the late Qing Dynasty!
