Xianfeng portrait
In fact, the historical evaluation of Xianfeng's "four emperors without" really made him cry foul. Xianfeng, as the last emperor with real power in Qing Dynasty, worked diligently and reformed state affairs drastically at the beginning of his reign, but with little effect. How did the accumulated criticism in China's long feudal history rest on a generation of young emperors? Under the historical background of China, it was impossible for him to complete the progressive class revolution, not to mention that Xianfeng's position was endowed by this dilapidated feudal system, so he faced the advanced society of European countries.
Shortly after the reign of Xianfeng, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement broke out in China. At the same time, after the Second Opium War, the British and French allied forces invaded Beijing and burned the Yuanmingyuan, committing a series of shocking atrocities. In desperation, Xianfeng had to sign a series of unequal treaties, which ended hastily. China's humiliation in modern times had to be borne by Xianfeng.
The political situation in Xianfeng's later period was turbulent, with internal and external troubles. Xianfeng became depressed and died in chengde mountain resort at the age of 3 1 year. Since his son Tongzhi succeeded to the throne, the fate of the Qing dynasty has never recovered and has been in a position of being beaten. The last centralized dynasty building in China's history will collapse and it will be difficult to rebuild.
Whose son is Emperor Xianfeng, Aisingiorro, the fourth Prince of Daoguang, and his biological mother is the filial piety queen Niu Kelu. 1850 succeeded to the throne and changed the year number to the first year of Xianfeng.
Portrait of Daoguang
Daoguang is the only emperor in history of qing dynasty who succeeded to the throne as the eldest son. During his thirty years in power, domestic contradictions were sharp. The brutal suppression of the Qing Dynasty led to people's uprisings in various places, and even joined forces to become an army to lead and organize anti-Qing uprisings. A single spark can start a prairie fire.
At the same time, the opium wave spread all over the country, and the people suffered greatly, and the labor force was greatly reduced, making people miserable. Faced with the erosion of foreign imperial power, Daoguang was anxious, so he took the consistent smoking ban of the Qing court and sent Lin Zexu to Guangzhou to sell cigarettes. However, the destruction of opium in Humen Incident directly led to the tension between China and Britain, and a long-planned unjust war began. Since then, the Qing Dynasty has signed a series of unequal treaties.
Daoguang is very considerate in handling government affairs. Faced with domestic troubles and foreign invasion, he fell ill and reluctantly came to North Korea to deal with political affairs. It was not until the first month of Daoguang's thirtieth year that Daoguang knew that his life was coming to an end, so he summoned court officials, took out the letters after the plaque, and announced that the emperor's four sons were easy to inherit the great unity. Daoguang died before noon.
Emperor Xianfeng was only twenty years old when he ascended the throne. He was the last prince in the Qing Dynasty to inherit the throne through the secret storage system. Shortly after Emperor Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, life in the Qing Dynasty declined rapidly, foreign enemies invaded and domestic troubles continued. Finally at the age of 31, mutually assured destruction with chengde mountain resort.
