[Female Channel History + Rebirth in the Late Qing Dynasty + No System + Strong Country and Cool Articles + Court Strategy]
In 1839 AD, on the eve of the end of the opium era in Humen, modern history researcher Zhaohua was reborn as the daughter of Emperor Daoguang.
She knew that once the opium in the smoke pool was destroyed, the British businessmen's losses would become gunboats. What followed was the cession of land and compensation, the burning of the Old Summer Palace, the disastrous defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, and a hundred years of blood and tears.
Everyone in the court thought that she rushed to the imperial court to stop Lin Zexu. However, Zhaohua photographed the coastal defense map and put it on the imperial court: "Stop the cigarettes and prepare for war in advance. National law cannot bow to drug dealers, and soldiers cannot risk their lives to accompany the court's bad debts!"
When military pay was swallowed up, she dug out moths along the account books; when gunpowder was adulterated, she tested cannons in public and found 280,000 kilograms of problematic munitions; when foreign ships approached the border, she measured gun ranges, reorganized coastal defenses, and trained new troops, allowing the great powers to first calculate the cost of war.
Some people laughed at her that the princess didn't understand state affairs, so she used account books to force corrupt officials to cough up money, used military reports to block the peace faction, and then used the great powers' own treaties to counterattack an army.
Establish factories, build guns, build railways, establish banks, open schools for girls, and build a navy. But Zhaohua understood that saving a Humen was not a victory, nor was defeating the British once. If the country can only rely on a sober princess, after her death, the old history will still return.
Therefore, she used the imperial power to pry open the old era, but in the end she personally locked the imperial power into the system.
Many years later, when the Chinese fleet sailed through Humen, the old chronology had been changed beyond recognition.
Later generations asked her if she had known that China would win.
Zhaohua closed the chronology: "I only know that we would have lost."
