In 788 AD, the Hui chieftain sent an envoy to the Tang emperor to request that the name of "Hui Gong" be changed to "Uighur", which means strong and dexterous, like a great falcon soaring in the air. Later, due to successive wars, the Uighurs who migrated westward from the Mongolian Plateau changed from nomadic to agrarian peoples, and gradually became the Uyghurs today[7], nearly a thousand years later than the Han Chinese entered the Western Regions! In other words, the so-called Uyghurs brought the Western Regions territory, and the theory is clearly a fallacy of 'grandsons giving birth to grandfathers'! ”
After listening to the other party's discussion, Yu Wei showed surprise: "In other words, today's Uyghurs are actually different from their claimed ancestor 'Turkic'?" ”
Chen Mei also raised a sneer, and her voice was mixed with a little mockery: "What's the difference? Let's start with the Turks, which were originally a 'tribal association' composed of more than a dozen major tribes. According to the "New Tang Dynasty Book, Turkic I" records: "The Turkic Ashina clan, the northern part of the ancient Xiongnu. Living in the sun of Jinshan, subservient to the worm, the descendants reproduce. As for the Uyghurs, as I said earlier, they originated in the Uighurs, and the oldest can be traced back to Lingding. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Uighurs dismantled the three Turkic regimes of the Western Regions and Mobei, and by 646 AD, the Uighurs finally established the Uighur Khanate on the bones of these Turks. So, these two peoples are simply feuding. Now some Uyghurs ridiculously recognize the Turks as their ancestors, and are not afraid to let the souls of the Turks curse their disdain underground? ”
"And the so-called Inner Mongolia and today's Outer Mongolia are even more ridiculous." After Chen Meiyi finished talking about the history of the Uyghurs and Xinjiang, she continued to analyze, "In the Tang Dynasty, the local area was called 'Mobei'. In 647 AD, that is, in the 21st year of Zhenguan, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty set up feudal prefectures and prefectures in various departments in Mobei, a total of six prefectures and seven prefectures. The Tang Dynasty appointed the heads of various departments as the governors and assassins of the prefectures and prefectures; The Hui Ministry established the Hanhai Governor's Office. In order to maintain regional stability and ethnic unity, the Tang Dynasty did not change the production methods and customs of the tribes in Mobei.
At the same time, timely relief was provided to local famines, civil strife was quelled, and the territories of various ministries were clarified. Has this also become the so-called territorial 'dowry theory' or cultural 'blood transfusion theory'!? She paused and slightly rested her chin, "As for Tibet, its situation is indeed special compared to Xinjiang, Northeast China and other places. But don't forget, the exchange between Tibet, that is, ancient Tibet, and the interior has never been interrupted, such as the entry of Princess Wencheng into Tibet in the Tang Dynasty. Later, both the Mongol and Ming dynasties canonized and administered Tibetan religious leaders, all of which were realized on the basis of exchanges and exchanges between previous dynasties. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the jurisdiction system of the Ming Dynasty was further improved. Without the foundation laid by the previous dynasties, the Manchus could have governed the land lightly!? ”
Yu Wei frowned and sighed, but still reluctantly asked: "You have repeatedly denounced the sins of the Manchus, since the Manchus are so unbearable, why can they be entrenched in the Central Plains for hundreds of years?" This is the fourth question. ”
Chen Mei also instantly clenched the plastic bag in her hand and laughed contemptuously: "If the ruler can't learn from the gains and losses of the previous dynasty, the country will collapse overnight, the so-called 'rise and fall' theory." After Yashan, the Mengyuan occupied China, but due to the promulgation of a cruel and unjustified national policy, it aroused the resistance of the majority of Han people. However, Meng Yuan did not castrate the spirit of the Han people, so he ruled for only 97 years before being expelled by Zhu Yuanzhang and recovering China.
During the Manchu Dynasty, in order to avoid the tragedy of the Mengyuan Dynasty, first of all, the Han people were deprived of their clothing and etiquette by brutal massacres, and secondly, the Han scholars were imprisoned in the text prison, and the Chinese classics were arbitrarily tampered with and seized, in a vain attempt to confuse right and wrong, and reverse black and white. In the end, in order to ensure that the Han people did not resist, the Manchu Qing Dynasty actually stipulated in the "Great Qing Decree" that those with different surnames should be killed, those who make noise to boycott the city should be killed, those who congested the government should be killed, and those who did things improperly should be killed, so that mothers, daughters, wives and concubines were slaves of the armor-clad people, and their descendants were castrated and matched, and millions of people were exiled to Ningguta! With such a high-pressure rule and the emasculation of the national spirit, how easy is this rebellion!? It is a pity that the slogan of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty has always run through the entire period of Manchu rule, and the call for the restoration of China has never stopped! ”
