The fact that the Manchu Empire was able to survive for more than 200 years in the history of the earth is closely related to their political system and cautious mentality!

Don't look at the 6 cases played by the Manchu Empire with millions of people ruling over hundreds of millions of people, but they themselves never believed that they could always sit on the heads of hundreds of millions of Han people and rule!

To put it bluntly, the idea of the high-level of the flag people has always been to enjoy one day at a time, and to extend the enjoyment time as much as possible!

It is the existence of this sense of crisis that the Manchu Empire has always reserved a way back for itself!

This back road is the three eastern provinces that were forcibly blocked by the Manchu Empire!

At that time, it was called the land outside the gates!

The Manchu Empire left only a small number of garrisons and some bannermen, young and old, with their clothed minions, in the vast areas outside the Guan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is forbidden for any Han Chinese, even Manchurians in Guannai, to settle outside Guanwai!

Whether it was the heyday of the Manchu Empire, or the Manchu Empire was in frequent wars, the country was in decline, the land annexation was serious, and the population was full, the land outside the Guanxi was firmly controlled by the Manchus and served as the last refuge!

In the eyes of the high-level people of the Manchu Empire, it seems very likely that they will be driven away by the Han Chinese, so they must also maintain the 'purity' of the land outside the Guan, once the rule of the banner people is unstable in the land of China one day, the land outside the Guanxi is their last retreat!

The black soil outside the gate is enough to easily feed millions of banner people's children, and there is enough basic stability to wait for the resurgence of the East!

It's a pity that the ideal is beautiful, the reality is skinny, and the Manchu Qing's self-reserved land was not broken by the Han people in the end, but became fat in the eyes of foreign powers......

In fact, when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Beijing, Cixi and others had plans to flee outside the Guan, if the Eight-Nation Alliance did not plan to stop fighting and continue to fight, the Empress Dowager Cixi would have to flee outside the Guanxi sooner or later!

However, at that time, a lot of territory outside the gate had been taken by Tsarist Russia, so the escape plan of Cixi and others was not very reliable, which was also the reason why the Empress Dowager Cixi surrendered completely!

Of course, for the current Qianlong Emperor, there are many ways to retreat, outside the Guan, Mongolia, and the rich south, can be cruising in all directions, southeast, northwest and northwest, well, the emperor's escape from the capital can not be called a strategic transfer, it should be called a parade patrol, or hunting......

In short, there must be no words related to the word war, the royal face is very important!

Emperor Qianlong was not a pedantic person, and after repeatedly discussing with the ministers and even the prince's henchmen, he decisively made a preparatory plan to abandon the city of Beijing!

Because Emperor Qianlong and his ministers, no matter how they analyzed, they couldn't find a loophole to break the myth of the invincibility of the Han army, because the weapons of the Han army had infinitely reduced the tactical significance of the sea of people, of course, this refers to the sea of cold weapons!

With a grenadier that can adapt to complex terrain, it has become extremely difficult for the Qing army to resist by relying on geographical advantages, and the only struggle may be to delay time!

Therefore, after the fall of Tianjin, there was a voice of peace in the upper echelons of the Manchu Empire, and this voice was not absolutely suppressed by Emperor Qianlong!

In the face of an insoluble enemy, as long as a sane ruler will think of humiliating options such as land cession and reparation......

What's more, the Manchu Empire has always regarded itself as a robber, and the land of China is just their spoils......

It is a pity that the peace envoys secretly sent by the Manchu Empire only brought back an ultimatum of the Han army to surrender unconditionally, and if the Manchu Empire surrendered completely, Zhao Dutian could still allow them to survive and become a member of the Han Empire, just like those white people who lived under Zhao Dutian's dictatorship and tyranny......

At least, the treatment is much higher than that of black slaves!

It's just that this condition is simply unacceptable to the top of the Manchu Empire!

There is no problem with the compensation for selling the country and ceding land, but this legal system cannot be lost!

Zhao Dutian did not expect to persuade the Manchu Empire to surrender with a piece of paper, and the gap between Iraq and US imperialism in the 21st century was so big that it had to struggle to fight a dozen, let alone the Manchu Empire?

When faced with a life-and-death decision, even if it is a war with a great loss, the weak side must fight hard, and there may still be hope for a fight, if it is not fought, then there is nothing!

Fortunately, Emperor Qianlong was also a sane king, and after the fall of Tianjin, he completely recognized the gap between the Qing army and the Han army, directly put himself on the weak side, and put forward a very constructive strategy, exchanging space for time, and exchanging Han people for Han army!

To put it bluntly, it is a general mobilization of the entire Manchu Empire, and a little bit of the power of the Han army!

No matter how strong the weapons of the Han army are, bullets are needed to shoot, shells are needed to open artillery, and fighting a war is a very financially expensive thing, and the high-level of the Manchu Empire believes that as long as they drag the Han army for a few years, not to mention that the overseas Han Congress will be dragged down, as long as it drags on until Zhao Dutian can't sustain the war, it is enough to be willing to make peace!

As long as the war stops, Emperor Qianlong will definitely have the courage to upgrade the weapon system, just like the Westernization Movement of the Manchu Empire after the Second Opium War, the system may not change, but no matter how much money is spent on military science and technology, it must be erected!

Of course, the premise is that the Manchu Empire can survive this round of catastrophe!

Emperor Qianlong's first step in dealing with the Han army was to let the city of Beijing hold out as long as possible!

As the capital of the Manchu Empire, the political significance is needless to mention, and the existence of Beijing City can allow the Manchu Empire to more fully mobilize the Han army!

As the ancient capital of all dynasties, Beijing City has been repeatedly strengthened and expanded, and it is a fortress-type city in itself.

The real war of great powers is not about the victory or defeat of several battles, but about the competition of who can hold out to the end!

No matter how miserable the defeat is in the early stage, as long as you can laugh at the end, the winner can change everything!

Although the Manchu Empire was at a disadvantage everywhere, they had an advantage that the Han Empire could not have, and that was to fight at home!

The Manchu Empire's native warfare could greatly bridge the logistical gap with industrialized countries like the Han Kingdom, and even slightly out!

Whether it is assembling an army or requisitioning food and replenishing supplies on the spot, the Qing army will occupy a big advantage!

Inside transfers are many times more convenient than foreign invaders!

Moreover, this advantage will continue to increase as the Han army penetrates deep into the interior of China!

Because the more territory occupied by the Han army, the more fragile the logistics system will become, unless Zhao Dutian can get the support of all Han people!

However, if Zhao Dutian can gain the support of all Han people, the Manchu Empire will collapse without the Han army fighting......
