Daoguang and Empress Dowager Cixi were very clear about this in the Qing Dynasty. So the attitude of the Qing dynasty was completely different. It can compromise with foreigners, ask for money, give land, and sign alliances at the gate. But to kill the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, we must resolutely eliminate it and uproot it, leaving no dead ends.
In the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, the monarch and his subjects were actually only outsiders who ruled China temporarily, so they were always distrustful and fearful of the Central Plains. The Qing dynasty always thought that he could not live forever, and one day he would have to go back to the Commissioner. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty always insisted on prohibiting immigrants from Northeast China and Inner Mongolia from reclaiming land for development.
Moreover, this kind of * * * struggle has been heard since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and it is often calm on the surface and undercurrent. From Prince Zhu San in the reign of Kangxi to Anbailiao in the reign of Qianlong, and then to the Taiping Rebellion, in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, * * * rebelled against the Manchu rule.
{! -PGC _ column-} Empress Dowager Cixi once said a famous saying that it is better to be with outsiders than to be a domestic slave. What do you mean? Is the Qing dynasty if you have to subjugate, would rather give China to foreigners, also can't give it to slaves, slaves here is * * *. Fundamentally speaking, the Qing Dynasty has always regarded the Central Plains as a slave conquered by the war, rather than really treating itself as the parents of the people. This is completely different from the * * * dynasty, which has always claimed to be the parents of the people.
Therefore, since the Opium War, the Qing dynasty began to settle accounts, and found that it was not as good as signing a contract to fight, so it was signed. Anyway, wool comes from sheep, and foreigners want wool, which is nothing more than searching for more from ordinary people. After all, the sheep are still their own. However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is different. If the sheep want to rebel, it will not be tolerated.
Who did the Qing dynasty regard as one of its own? Actually, it is Mongolian and Manchu. Nowadays, many people often say that the demise of the Ming Dynasty was due to the heavy financial burden caused by the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty, which dragged down the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the same is true in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty not only used finance to support the imperial clan, but also used finance to support the entire Manchu men, women and children, as well as the princes and nobles of Mongolia.
Imperial clan in Ming dynasty was sent to various places to guard, and so was Qing dynasty. The Qing Dynasty did not gather all Manchu people together, but scattered in military and strategic locations all over the country, built cities all over the country, and lived and lived separately from * * * *. For example, Kuanzhai Lane in Chengdu, where Manchu people lived in the Qing Dynasty, was isolated from other urban areas in Chengdu.
Even after the Opium War in Qing Dynasty, the financial situation became more and more tense, and the Manchu population was already large. The Qing dynasty never wanted to move this privilege of Manchu, but still insisted on continuing to support it. Even in all wars, the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners were completely corrupt and useless, and they still insisted on supporting them.
So how did the Qing Dynasty support these people? During the Revolution of 1911, the first reaction of the Qing Dynasty was to mobilize the Manchu and Mongolian able-bodied men who were guarding various places to join the army and form an army to suppress local armed uprisings. Because in the eyes of Qing, this is one of our own, the most trustworthy and reliable. However, when the court ordered the transfer, it was discovered that the Eight Banners had long since lost their bravery, and they would only carry caged birds to watch the play and play cricket.
Therefore, after overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, Puyi hated Yuan Shikai the most. He could do anything for the country to restore the Qing Dynasty, even if it was a puppet for the Japanese. Behind this mentality, the Manchu royal family represented by Puyi never really regarded themselves as a member of the Chinese nation, but regarded themselves as an outsider.
