Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, and the Ming Dynasty fell. Although Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, he obviously had no idea how to run such a large country. At this time, Wu Sangui, who was far away in Shanhaiguan, "turned his crown into a beauty in anger" and lured the Qing army into the pass. Dorgon led the Qing army into the pass and became the regent of the emperor's father, holding the military and political power of the country in his hands. Mother and son Xiaozhuang and Shunzhi lived under the threat of Dorgon, and their lives were threatened at any time. Thanks to Xiaozhuang's observation of words and expressions, dangers were resolved time and time again while talking and laughing. It's a pity that Shunzhi was still too young. After taking office, he had trouble with his mother, and both he and his beloved Concubine Dong E died early.

The last gasp of the Eastern dynasty under the great changes in the world, the struggle of the declining empire in the midst of devastation is lamentable. The emperor who desperately sought change, the people with lofty ideals who were not afraid of bloodshed, and the people who did not bow to the invaders jointly composed the last magnificent elegiac song in the afterglow of the feudal empire. Guangxu, who sought change alone, the "Six Gentlemen of 1898" who died generously, and Sun Yat-sen, who overthrew the imperial system, all used their own methods to save the land of China that was already riddled with holes.

Emperor Xianfeng took over the power of the Qing Dynasty in the turmoil, and he wanted to make a difference. But unfortunately, on one side, the Taiping Rebellion gained momentum in the south, and on the other side, the British and French forces entered Beijing. This time, the invaders burned the Old Summer Palace, which was regarded as a treasure by Xianfeng. Facing the situation of internal and external troubles, Emperor Xianfeng wanted to cheer up, but he found that the harder he tried, the less effective he was, and he gradually indulged. A vigorous Taiping Rebellion pushed the Qing Empire into a precarious situation. The Taiping Rebellion swept across the Qing Dynasty with the force of a raging fire. Unfortunately, internal strife within the leadership took a turn for the worse for the Taiping Rebellion. While the Qing dynasty was not yet exhausted, important officials of the late Qing Dynasty such as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang took turns to appear on the scene to turn the tide before it fell and to support the building from collapse. The Qing Empire staged a splendid and ups and downs drama before it came to an end.

In terms of governance and diplomatic strategies, Kangxi used Confucianism externally and Huang Lao internally. He was able to get rid of Obai without anyone noticing, put down the rebellion of the Three Feudatories, unify Taiwan and set up prefectures and counties, and repel the invasion of Tsarist Russia. He selected good ministers, punished corrupt officials, focused on agriculture and corruption, and built water conservancy projects. As an emperor, Kangxi was very successful, but as a father and husband, he had too many tragedies, and there was much inner loneliness and sadness hidden behind the sixty-one years of prosperity.

Qianlong succeeded to the throne in his prime years, and there was no storm or rain. No one competed with Qianlong for the throne. When Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Yongzheng had laid a good foundation for him, and Yongzheng had basically done everything he should do. Qianlong lived to be eighty-eight years old and was actually in power longer than Kangxi. Qianlong's life never left power, and power was his method of controlling the entire empire. During his more than sixty years in power, Qianlong conquered the south and the north, demonstrating the empire's military power and expanding the territory of the Qing Dynasty. As for women and elegance, they were both indispensable sentiments for Qianlong. In his later years, Qianlong called himself "Shiquan Old Man", referring to his ten major achievements. In Qianlong's body, the bloody spirit of his ancestors flowing in the war and conquering the country flows.

The political code of the Qing Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline, the turning point of the decline of China's last feudal dynasty, uprisings and quelling chaos. The heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong lasted only a hundred years, and the peasant uprising and Zhanger's rebellion had gradually emptied the Qing Dynasty's treasury. The members of the Tianli Sect colluded with the eunuchs and launched a rebellion in the Forbidden City. This was a huge blow to Jiaqing. Since ancient times, rebellions have always occurred outside the palace, but this time the rebellion actually took place in the Forbidden City. Repeated assassinations made Jiaqing reflect and feel helpless. Starting from Jiaqing, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty became more and more mediocre, with each generation becoming worse than the last. After the outbreak of the First Opium War, Daoguang suffered the humiliation of defeat, and the domestic situation became increasingly chaotic. What was worse was that the empire did not have a suitable successor. The worst thing was that Daoguang chose Xianfeng, who was even more mediocre and incompetent... The Qing Empire, which was in the stage of disintegration from its prosperity, was doomed to be unable to recover.

In Yongzheng, the duality is very obvious. In terms of governing the country, he was a wise emperor, especially in terms of government administration. Among the two thousand years of Chinese feudal dynasty, Yongzheng was one of the best experts. Many of his reforms pushed the rule of the Qing Dynasty to its peak, such as the establishment of the military aircraft office, the implementation of the system of sharing the land with the land, and the implementation of the system of returning waste to the public and raising honest silver... The decline in the late Kangxi period was reversed in the hands of Yongzheng, and the "vital energy" of the Qing Dynasty also continued to rise in the hands of Yongzheng. But when it came to dealing with the opposition, Yongzheng was very cruel and had absolutely no room for mercy. The endings of his younger brother Yinqi, the Eight Kings Party, and the two great heroes Nian Gengyao and Longkodo fully prove this point.

He finally fell under the city of Ningyuan and fell into the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, and died in depression. After Nurhachi's death, a fierce battle for the throne began, and Huang Taiji finally won the throne. In the hands of Huang Taiji, the country's name changed from "Jin" to "Qing", and the country's power flourished. Huang Taiji advocated governing the country with benevolence but suddenly died suddenly; Huang Taiji's love with Hai Lanzhu and Dayu'er was talked about... The endless storm of the Qing Dynasty began...
