1: As soon as I came to power, I was busy reversing the case of my father Yongzheng's brothers. He even exempted the agricultural tax, and was indirectly praised as the benevolent king for a while!
Emperor Qianlong returned the territory of China to other provinces at the age of 49, almost as good as his grandfather Kangxi! After 60 years as emperor, he is also very filial at the age of 85. He abdicated and became the boss behind the scenes. Although the country is still under his control, this move is true and can be said to be a great respect for Kangxi.
Neglect:
As the last feudal dynasty in the history of China, the Qing Dynasty began to decline due to the outbreak of opium ZZ. Just as people at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty accused the last emperor of incompetence, Daoguang and Xianfeng at the end of the Qing Dynasty were also criticized for incompetence. But Lao Long objectively said that the most direct culprit in the outbreak of opium ZZ was Emperor Qianlong. During the industrial revolution in europe period, with the application of the compass, China's firearms were in the forefront of the world, and the world embarked on the road of globalization. The great voyage began as early as the Ming Dynasty. As a country of the Qing Dynasty, it was actually dominant. In the late Qianlong period, Britain sent a large number of exchange delegations to visit China, and at the same time brought the world's most advanced scientific and technological products (according to the history books of the Qing Dynasty, there were telescopes, cannons, rifles and other items)
At this time, Gan Long was an old man. He has used up all his glasses and no longer has keen eyes and long-term thinking. Like many great monarchs, he began to become blind and confident. As a big country, you are just small things, such as juggling. In this respect, his grandfather Kangxi is far superior to him. Kangxi once asked a foreign priest to study western culture. After learning about western countries, he once said a farsighted sentence: Will western countries suffer from China for thousands of years? . Kangxi is a talented person with both civil and military skills. Although Qianlong was outstanding, he did not experience too many setbacks after all. It is difficult for father Yongzheng to ascend to the throne, and his son is willing to suffer the same thing again. Therefore, many things in Qianlong were too rational and lacked foresight in accepting new things, which led to his blind arrogance in his later period. He blocked the coastal foreign exchange trade market, which led to the Qing Dynasty completely divorced from the industrial revolution and unconsciously fell behind the world!
