Anti-Qing, 1850

During the sixty-one years of Kangxi's reign, Prince Zhu San revolted seventy-one times. After finally "surviving" the third prince Zhu, Honghua White Lotus inherited the mantle of the third prince Zhu. From Qianlong to Guangxu, Honghua White Lotus launched more than a thousand uprisings in more than a hundred years, on average once a month. Of the more than a thousand uprisings in the Qing Dynasty, half were under the banner of Fu Ming, and half of the uprisings under the banner of Fu Ming were under the banner of the Zhu family. In other words, the "Ming clan" launched hundreds of uprisings in the Qing Dynasty, which was unprecedented in any dynasty. Why do the people of the Qing Dynasty miss Zhu Ming so much? Because only when you lose can you appreciate it! Ming Dynasty is not good at this or bad at that, at least it allows its subjects to say bad things!

Anyone who forgets the Ming Dynasty has no conscience, and whoever wants to rebuild the Ming Dynasty has no brains.

Don't write about political systems. Essentially, the rise of modern Europe is the rise of technology. Regardless of whether it is a constitutional monarchy or a parliamentary system, time has proven that there is no superiority and is no better than a monarchy. As long as a monarchy has a good reputation, it will be superior in terms of administrative efficiency and national centripetal force. It's better to write more about changes in technology. Seeing that the author wants to write about a constitutional monarchy, I just can't help it. The constitutional monarchy is based on the British, but now it is a second-rate national gatekeeper. This system really has no advantages. In essence, it is to share the rights of the emperor. When the king's rights are lost and become a mascot, there will be only partisan attacks and no national interests. If the monarch's rights cannot be guaranteed and his words cannot be used effectively, there will be no one who is aligned with the interests of the country. The interests of the bureaucracy can be different from, and sometimes even opposed to, the interests of the state. The parliamentary systems of France and the United States are rubbish visible to the naked eye. They are either quarreling or corrupt every day. The most important thing for a country is to have enemies. As long as there are enemies, internal contradictions will always give way to external contradictions. This is why the United States likes to provoke wars so much. If I don't develop well, then I will fight a war and let others pay the bill.

There has been no rebellion for more than a hundred chapters. The progress is too slow. Why go to Sichuan? Sichuan has never been the base of the king's hegemony. There are only a few roads. If you don't go to Guangdong and Guangxi, how can you expand the army and carry out preliminary industrialization without money and food?

Author, you need to distinguish between what is good advice and what is advice that will destroy your novel. More than 90% of historical novels at this time in 1850 were about proclaiming emperors, and their audience was basically this group. If you start a republic at this time, your results will be ruined. At what time is a better time for republican novels? After 1900, because at this time, the establishment of a republic had the basis of public opinion. Before that, the basis of public opinion was still the emperor.

I'm really convinced. The author really has no idea about the purchasing power of silver around 1850. He doesn't even want to check it out. It costs 60 million taels of silver to build a few factories and 100 million taels of silver for loans. It's really speechless and too poisonous. At this time, France's income was only 1 billion francs, equivalent to 120 million taels of silver. Whenever you borrow money, you have to lend someone a year's income. Just like now when you ask China to lend 10 trillion yuan, it is also the year's income of the world's second largest economy at the same time. Do you think it is possible? Is there any bank that can get it? Silver depreciated sharply in the late Qing Dynasty. During this period, the cost of building a military factory was only 3.4 Million taels of silver, or about US$1 million. Not to mention 1850 when silver was still strong. In 1863, the United States spent more than 100 million U. S. Dollars to build the more than 3,000 kilometers of Central Pacific Railway, equivalent to 80 million taels of silver. I feel like I can't stand it anymore, it's too intellectual. Even if it's not accurate, you can't completely avoid checking it, or else you shouldn't write a historical article. I said goodbye and abandoned the book.

To evaluate a person or a government, one should not judge what he said, but what he did. To be honest, slogans and actions are two different things. If you don't understand this, you can only say you are stupid.

This is the north city wall of Guangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty. On the left is Zhenhai Tower, on the right is Guanyin Mountain, and there are tombs and mosques below This is a full photo of the north city wall. The British and French allied forces invaded Guangzhou from the small north gate next to it. The high ground is Guanyin Mountain

You can tell at this glance that you have a broad mind

As soon as I saw the anti-Qing articles, there were so many things with pig tails and braids that I became anxious.
