In the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign, Zeng Jing, a down-and-out scholar, was influenced by Lu Liuliang's "Hua-Yi Debate" theory and persuaded Yue Zhongqi, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, to raise troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. The letter directly pointed out that the emperor was guilty of more than a dozen crimes including "stealing edicts and usurping the throne," "not respecting human ethics," "greedy for money and lust," and "loving murder and drunkenness." Yue Zhongqi was shocked and hurriedly arrested Zeng Jing. At the same time, he reported to the court to prove his innocence. After reading the materials, Emperor Yongzheng felt that everything was burning inside him, and he was inexplicably aggrieved. He asked himself that since he came to the throne, he has always been diligent and caring for the people, and he has also rectified the government and made the country prosperous. Who would have expected that some people would say that he is "unforgivable" and so on. In particular, "stealing edicts to usurp the throne" is actually a rumor among the people, and the so-called "Chinese orthodoxy" concept is entirely the opinion of corrupt Confucianists. The only way is to face the controversy head-on and refute it fundamentally! Therefore, he personally wrote an article to refute the other party's views one by one. When he got emotional, he even did not hesitate to expose the secret facts about the brothers' fight for the throne and tell all the family scandals! The result was that the "negative material" was publicly disseminated and turned into a joke for the ages. But as far as the content is concerned, Emperor Yongzheng's discussion of the Hua-Yi issue and the orthodox debate are indeed insightful and have alleviated ethnic conflicts to a certain extent.

The author intends to summarize the history of the group. For each historical book, he first describes the history of the work, comments on the pros and cons, and then raises a series of questions. Then he compares historical events with the original book, or quotes miscellaneous histories, elaborates and compares, and puts forward opinions and discussions.

"The Collision of History: 1493" is a classic work that uses an alternative ecological perspective to interpret globalization and world history over the past 500 years. The author has visited various continents in Asia, Europe and the United States, citing the research results of ecologists, anthropologists, archaeologists and historians. He continues to challenge Eurocentrism and focuses on how the ecological collision between Europe and the Americas has substantially changed one aspect of human history. It answers our confusion about the destiny of mankind and the globalization of social development, and fundamentally explains the roots of the industrial revolution, malaria, and political disputes (immigration, trade policy, and culture wars). "The Collision of History: 1493" is both historical and inspiring, breaking the stereotypes of globalization in historical research and teaching. In current history textbooks, there are only a few sentences describing the event of Columbus landing on the American continent, and even less introduction to the history of the American continent. In Charles Mann's writing, Columbus landed on the American continent in 1492, which can be called the source of current globalization problems. It was one of the important events after the extinction of the dinosaurs. The "Columbian Exchange" brought about chaotic exchanges and collisions between the mysterious American continent and other independent continents - American independence and malarial mosquitoes, British Industrial Revolution and Amazon rubber, American silver and the intensification of the demise of the Ming Dynasty... Various seemingly unrelated events contain close connections. It was these events that accelerated the formation of the modern world. Teenagers will discover new perspectives on world history, and adult readers will also rethink the reasons for the stalemate of globalization.
