Chapter 48: Strange Fortune from Heaven VI

In the three-year-old child Gu Xiaolong's view, just like a toddler playing, to solve the so-called three major problems of the world, there is no need to spend so much time, with his method, only need to feel and perceive the answer, and then directly backward, the whole proof process is simple and clear, several leaders in the mathematics community of the capital university of country C looked at his proof process, found that this is the best solution path for these three major mathematical problems, and also explained and corrected many mistakes and detours in the past solution proof, the whole solution proof process is seamless, Without the slightest flaw, it can be called a classic.

The third incident made people even more impressed by the three-year-old child Gu Xiaolong, that is, it revised and supplemented many places on the Internet about how many female emperors in the history of Country C. Many people think that the first female emperor in history was Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian is a veritable strong woman in our memory, when she reigned, after the rule of Zhenguan, the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, my life for my sole respect, dare to be daring, and after her death, she made a "wordless monument", which is really a strange woman among women. But the first female emperor in history was not her. And Wu Zetian is only the third female emperor in history.

The first female emperor was a baby girl, and she only worked as a female emperor for a few days. She is the daughter of Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Her ascension to the throne was entirely due to her grandmother, the concubine of Emperor Xuanwu and the mother of Emperor Xiaoming, Empress Dowager Hu, who arranged for the young lord Emperor Xiaoming to ascend the throne. Emperor Xiaoming was young and came to the court to listen to the government. But Empress Dowager Hu is a woman with a very promiscuous private life. It is also politically arbitrary. It has caused dissatisfaction among the ministers. Of course, it also caused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Xiaoming. The relationship between mother and child is not very good. In 528, according to the "Northern Song Dynasty Concubine", Emperor Xiaoming gave birth to a daughter, but Empress Dowager Hu lied that it was a son and designed to poison Emperor Xiaoming. After putting the baby girl in the upper position, the baby is declared a girl. Miss Yuan is just a pawn of Empress Dowager Hu's audience.

The second female emperor "Emperor Wenjia" Chen Shuozhen, Chen Shuozhen, also known as Chen Shuozhen, Qingxi County, Muzhou (now Chun'an, Zhejiang). A heroine. In October of the fourth year of Yonghui of Tang Gaozong (653 AD), he led the people to revolt and proclaimed himself "Emperor Wenjia". Although she was suppressed, because of her groundbreaking feats, modern historian Jian Bozan called her "China's first female emperor".

Chen Shuozhen's parents died when she was a child, and she and a younger sister depended on each other. The sisters have gone through the wind, frost, rain and snow in the world, and tasted the bitterness and bitterness of the world, and the sisters stayed up until their sister was adopted by their neighbors, and Chen Shuozhen went to a village eunuch to help, so that they could have a full meal. Cheonggye Mountain is high and deep in valleys, and the rivers are staggered. The product is very abundant, and that's why it's very abundant. The imperial court also levied a lot of taxes here, and the burden on the local people was very heavy.

In this year, there was a flood in Qingxi that had not been encountered in a century, and the imperial court not only did not open a warehouse to provide grain, but also collected various taxes, resulting in the people living poorly, selling their children and daughters, being displaced, and starving. Chen Shuozhen saw the suffering of the villagers, thinking that he had also been helped by the villagers, so regardless of his own safety, secretly opened the granary of the owner to relieve the victims, but was found by the owner, tied up, beaten all over the body, dead and alive, the villagers saw in the eyes, anxious in their hearts, that night, many villagers personally organized, rushed into the firewood room where Chen Shuozhen was held, rescued him, in order to escape the search of the officers and soldiers, Chen Shuozhen fled into the deep mountains and hidden, dressed as a Taoist aunt, recuperating his body. During the period of recuperation, Chen Shuozhen felt that only by overthrowing the imperial court could everyone live a good life. Chen Shuozhen decided to use Taoism to develop followers as a force for future uprisings. She first spread some news, saying that she met Taishang Laojun in the deep mountains, and was accepted as a disciple, and showed everyone the various spells she had learned, because the villagers hoped that she could benefit the people more after becoming an immortal, and believed in Chen Shuozhen's statement that "ascending to the immortal mountain to receive immortals", and after a while, she claimed that she had obtained the oracle of Taishang Laojun, and was about to become an immortal. But at this time, someone told the government that Chen Shuozhen's ascension to heaven as an immortal was fake, and the plot was true. So the government sent people to search, arrested Chen Shuozhen, and reported the case to the boss on charges such as bewitching the public and plotting misdeeds. After experiencing this turmoil, Chen Shuozhen felt that the government had noticed his behavior, and if he didn't revolt as soon as possible, he might not have a chance in the future.

When the tiger returns to the mountain and the dragon enters the sea, it will naturally set off a storm. Chen Shuozhen had a relative named Zhang Shuyin, who actively supported Chen Shuozhen's uprising plan and did a lot of propaganda and organization work. Zhang Shuyin publicized that Chen Shuozhen had returned to Qingxi from the sky, and now her magic power is boundless and unpredictable, and she can summon gods and generals to serve ghosts. This saying is spread ten, ten is spread to hundreds, and the more it spreads, the more mysterious it is, the people within a radius of hundreds of miles all bow to Chen Shuozhen, and every word of Chen Shuozhen is a fairy sound, which is enough to make believers go to the soup without giving up.

Seeing that the number of believers was almost complete, in October 653 AD, Chen Shuozhen officially declared an uprising and confronted the government. She modeled on the official system of the Tang Dynasty and established a regime, appointing Zhang Shuyin as a servant to take charge of various affairs, and she herself was called "Emperor Wenjia". In Chinese history, there are countless women who participated in the peasant uprising, but there are very few women who are leaders, and Chen Shuozhen is the only woman who is the leader and also known as the emperor.

After Chen Shuozhen launched an uprising, it was widely supported by the local people, Qingxi Tong Wenbao first led the public to respond, in a short period of time, the righteous army developed to several thousand people, in order to strengthen the force, Chen Shuozhen and Zhang Shuyin's soldiers were divided into two roads, Zhang Shuyin led the troops to capture Tonglu, Chen Shuozhen himself led an army of 2,000 to capture Muzhou and Yuqian (now southeast of Changhua, Zhejiang). The people of Muzhou responded en masse, and the rebel army soon grew to tens of thousands. Chen Shuozhen was able to capture the capital of Muzhou and its counties with only 2,000 men, and the government and the opposition were suddenly shaken, in order to exterminate the rebel army. The imperial court imposed a blockade on the areas of the uprising. Strictly control the flow of population into the rebel army. All those who entered the Muzhou area were questioned, even the monks.

In order to open up the situation and develop strength, Chen Shuozhen took advantage of the victory to attack Anhui and attacked Shezhou (now Shexian County, Anhui). However, due to the tight defense and stubborn resistance of the Shezhou garrison, although Chen Shuozhen had tens of thousands of people, most of them were ordinary people who had no military training, and there were no siege equipment, so Shezhou could not be attacked for a long time. As a last resort. Chen Shuozhen withdrew from Shezhou, changed the original method of concentrating forces on the offensive, formulated separate attacks, and adopted the principle of combining mobile warfare with assault warfare to strike at the enemy and expand the scope of his forces. Under this policy, Chen Shuozhen ordered Tong Wenbao to command 4,000 troops to cover the attack on Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang). After Tong Wenbao led his troops into Wuzhou, he encountered the official army and turned into a strong attack.

At this time, it was Cui Yixuan who served as the assassin of Wuzhou. This man is a battle-hardened man and a resourceful man. Cui Yixuan heard the alarm in the city. Immediately summoned civilian and military generals and prepared to send troops to resist, but the officials were intimidated by the prestige of the righteous army, and they said: "Chen Shuozhen is guarded by gods, and those who dare to confront his soldiers will all be killed and destroyed, or they should avoid it." The vast majority of people are reluctant to go. At this time, a Sikong named Cui Xuanji joined the army and said: "The army that is in line with the will of the people is fashionable and cannot succeed, Chen Shuozhen is just a woman with a bit of magic, and she must not last long." When Cui Yixuan heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Cui Xuanji to be the vanguard officer, and he himself led the soldiers to follow up.

Chen Shuozhen heard that Tong Wenbao was blocked in Wuzhou, and led the main force to Wuzhou to support, and the rebel army participated in the war amounted to tens of thousands. Although the rebels had an advantage in numbers, the uprising had only been a month, the soldiers were untrained, and their combat effectiveness was limited. The two armies were in a stalemate in Wuzhou, and Chen Shuozhen, in order to break the stalemate, change the unfavorable conditions such as fighting in the guest place and being unfamiliar with the enemy, constantly sent spies to probe the enemy, and once the spies captured by the Tang soldiers alone amounted to dozens of people. And Cui Yixuan was not idle here, and sent a request for help to the Quartet. Just when the two armies were at a stalemate, one night, a meteorite suddenly fell into Chen Shuozhen's camp. Cui Yixuan immediately created public opinion, saying that this is Chen Shuozhen's general star falling, and Chen Shuozhen will definitely die. The army commanded by Cui Yixuan was suddenly greatly boosted, while the morale of Chen Shuozhen's side was greatly reduced. At the end of November 653, the reinforcements of Yangzhou Governor Shi Fang Renyu arrived in Wuzhou and attacked the rebels with Cui Yixuan. The battle was quite tragic, and most of the tens of thousands of rebels who participated in the battle were killed in battle, except for more than 10,000 who were captured. "Emperor Wenjia" Chen Shuozhen and his servant Zhang Shuyin were captured in the battle, and they died heroically after the most martyrdom.

Of course, the local people refused to believe Chen Shuozhen's death, and they made up a legend that when the rebel army was besieged on a hill, Chen Shuozhen immediately climbed the mountain, and looking back left and right, there was not much left of the rebel army. She swung her twin swords, ready to rush down the hill again. Fang Renyu and Cui Yixuan commanded the soldiers to shoot thousands of arrows together, and the arrows on the mountain suddenly rained down, Chen Shuozhen danced his double swords, and only saw two white lights from a distance, protecting his whole body. But the arrows of the officers and soldiers took turns shooting towards the two clusters of white light, and after the last moment, Chen Shuozhen was hit by several arrows in the chest and abdomen, and the two clusters of white light gradually converged. Just when the officers and soldiers rushed up and wanted to catch Chen Shuozhen, suddenly a colorful cloud floated in the sky, and a huge phoenix landed on the mountain, scaring off the officers and soldiers, and then carrying Chen Shuozhen into the air. Therefore, the mountain is now called "Luofeng Mountain".

Chen Shuozhen's career ended in Wuzhou, although she was defeated and died from the army, but it took more than a month, but the southeast shook and had a great impact. For the first time in Chinese history, she proclaimed herself emperor. Later, Wu Zetian said that the emperor was more or less influenced by her. Today, we seem to still be able to find the shadow of the "Emperor Wenjia" in Qingxi's "Tianzi Ji" and "Wannian Tower" and other relics.

The biography of Chen Shuozhen (anonymous): Chen Shuozhen of Muzhou, a native of Xin'an County, is handy, beautiful, agile and good at fighting, and can lift thousands of catties. If you are old and don't marry, if you ask for it, you will say: The Nine Heavens Xuannu gave me divine power, and if she can defeat me, she will promise it. There was an uproar in the township, and there were many horns, but Shuozhen did not taste defeat. Those who have the courage to excel will be collected as wings, and they will be true with the teacher's courtesy.

In the third year of Yonghui, there was no rain in Muzhou in March, the fields were cracked, the locusts covered the sun, the hunger was everywhere, and the new mounds were piled up. Shuozhen was twenty-one years old, created the Fire Phoenix Society, called himself the Holy Mother of the Red Sky, and said: The government has no way, the heavens are angry, and this calamity will fall, and you should start from my way and uncover the rod. There are more than 1,000 followers at one time. Bamboo and wood are banners, hoes and rakes are machinery, and they enter Xin'an. Commander of the Dead. Thousands of people from all counties came to vote. Then he attacked Muzhou. trapped, and divided the troops to take the Wu and Wu, and the court was shocked. The chief Shi Fang Renyu and the assassin Cui Yixuan raised troops to calm down. After a long history, the advance envoy Zhao Shuo really came to surrender. Shuo Zhen said: Shall I bend my knees to others? It was to destroy the book and cut the envoy, pretending to be Emperor Wenjia, raising the Muzhou army, taking the in-law Zhang Shuyin as a servant, and leading the former army to welcome the long history. The army should respond to it. The former army met the long history in Tonglu, the battle was hearty, Shuyin was trapped in the formation, Shuo Zhenzhi, the army was in a hurry to save it, and he bravely broke out and returned to Muzhou, and the front army was gone. Changshi entered the siege of Muzhou and attacked very urgently. Shuo Zhen said to the public: She, Wu's disciples will come after tomorrow. If the day after tomorrow does not come, the day after tomorrow will be repeated. If so, again and again, everyone is suspicious. Shuyin went to the city day and night to guard the king. The stray arrow pierced the door of the brain and died. Shuozhen not only lost his loved ones, but also had the sadness of the dead rabbit and fox, and mourned. However, the crowd became more and more angry, and those who had the slightest inappropriate intentions were cut off, and the public resentment became worse day by day. At the beginning, his apprentice Tong Wenbao tried to be responsible for small reasons, so far he relieved his worries and entered the wine in Shuozhen, which meant that he would wait for the opportunity. Shuo Zhen rebuked Wenbao, took his own wine and drank it all night, did not feel drunk, and put it on the couch from the public. Wen Bao glimpsed, that is, he entered the room and killed all the people, so he captured Shuozhen on the couch, opened the door and dedicated it to the long history, and the rest of the people all surrendered, and the chaos was peaceful.

Shuo Zhen has a long history, fierce resistance, and no regrets. A few days later, there was a decree that Xin'an County was renamed and Chun, and Shuozhen was dissected on the spot to eliminate its troubles. In November, the long history of the order of the section is really in the school field in front of the Wenxuan Building.

At the end of the day, the advance messenger said to Shuozhen, saying that the dissection was just a knife to calm his heart. Shuo Zhen believes in it, but he is naked, with jade milk like a bell, and the soap officer is bound on his back, leading Shuo Zhen to get out of prison. Shuo Zhen's face is not afraid of color, and he is proud of himself. When I went out, I suddenly saw a wooden cart, there was a pestle as thick as a child's arm, and it was organically connected to the wheel, and when it was pushed, its pestle moved up and down, and it was called a wooden donkey, and it was the first humiliation in the world. The spectators in the street are blocked, the ants gather in the road, Shuo Zhen knows the humiliation of his punishment, and he is anxious to hook the door with his feet in front of the horse pillar, no, he says: I wish to die here. The officials are strong, they can't take it off, and they hit Shuo Zhenzu with their feet, and Shuo Zhen can't bear the pain and don't move. and made several people really fruitful, and they were inseparable in the end. Or the long history, the long history of the yin makes people suddenly hit Shuo Zhen's breasts, Shuo Zhen is frightened and slack, and his feet are divided by the officials. He also tied his feet with a long rope, and he repeated the trick for his reasons. Shuozhen has no way to avoid humiliation, so he will not refuse. The soap officer took off his shoes and socks, stripped his underwear, removed his obscene trousers, the open-air feet were like white lotus, the powder was like a full moon, the ink grass was like a young orchid, the skin was like jade, the delicate face was better than fire, and it was extremely charming. He also raised Shuozhen to show the public, divided into snow and snow double shares, Zhang Ruhua Hu, everyone applauded, Shuozhen was ashamed, and did not dare to look up. Then put Shuo real wooden donkey, stretch out the pestle into the household, push the cart all over the six streets and three cities, the car shop is pestle, deep and shallow, swallow and spit out, extremely interesting. Shuo Zhen is still a virgin, lewd by the giant pestle, from Chen to Si, bittersweet and unbearable, moaning. The viewer's halberd fingers laugh and scold, and so on. There are more disciples who flock to it, to twist their breasts and rub their hands for pleasure, Shuo is really unwilling, twist the body to avoid each other, then the pain and itching in the household are worse, although they are blind, and they are scared, although they grit their teeth and are silent, but they are ugly.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the car arrived at the Wenxuan Building, there were two high zhangs, a pair of standing pillars, the people of the market were shoulder to shoulder, bustling, competing to see the truth. On the official captive Shuo Zhen platform, stretching his limbs like big characters, tying his hands and feet on the pillar, Shuo Zhen began to open his eyes and breathe, and his expression was slightly fixed.

At noon, Chang Shi threw fire on the ground, and the executioner nailed Shuo Zhen's hands and feet on the torture pillar with a six-inch nail, and Shuo Zhen's hands struggled to stand up, but he stoic and did not make a wail, and looked at Chang Shi endlessly. The executioner cut the real jade milk with a sharp blade, and threw it into the audience, and the good deeds ran to snatch it, making a noise that shook the sky. He also used small tongs to sweep his pubic hair, like a white tiger. He also led the knife into the door and split his perineum, so that it could communicate with the back of the body, and the feces and urine squirted out, and the filth overflowed. He also cut off his vein, and cut down his descendants with his hands, and showed them to the public. Shuo Zhen was extremely ashamed and hateful, extremely painful and angry, his eyes were red, and he couldn't stop shouting, and his voice was like slaughtering pigs. Then cut to the diaphragm, the snow abdomen is like a gourd, the soft intestines are exhausted, and the blood flow is like an injection. Take their viscera one by one, only keep the heart and lungs to prolong the breath. At that time, Shuozhen's lips were still open and wanted to speak, but his chest was broken, and his throat was dumb, but he was just looking sideways angrily, as if he was unyielding.

Suddenly, Shuozhen still looked up and dumbfounded, but his hands and feet were comfortable, and his breath was gone. Changshi ordered the executioner to cut off the head with a giant axe in the box, and sent it to Beijing to be dedicated to His Majesty. and amputated his limbs, and commanded four gates. Ten days later, the remnants of Shuozhen's body were gathered, burned and burned on the coast of the East China Sea. Only the two breasts of Shuozhen were not obtained, or one of them was sold to a certain Jia for 100 gold, and Jia had already eaten it.

Alack! Guanshuo's true ambition exists in the world, and only then does it stop at confusing the public, brave enough to defeat ten thousand people, and defeated by a horseman's strategy. It will also fail. However, the axe is added, and there is no regret in nine deaths, and Gai is also the male among women! Pitiful in the middle of the moon, reckless in the land of projectiles, and died in front of all people. Extremely humiliating. The corpse is hard to finish. Sincerity is enough to prescribe the rebellion!

It can be seen that the torture at that time had reached the extreme cruelty, and this kind of perverted torture that was inferior to the conscience and the sick pig and dog was really infamous by thousands of people, and it is also worthy of reflection and consideration by our future generations.

In addition, some historical misunderstandings were also pointed out, such as: 1. Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, but did not unify China, because there was still a Wei Guo at that time. 2. The most powerful minister in Chinese history was Yuwen Hu during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the era of his power leaned towards the government and the opposition through the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. During this period, he killed a total of 3 emperors. 3. During the most powerful "Kaiyuan rule" period of the Tang Dynasty, there were 8.2 million households in the country, which was the highest value in the Tang Dynasty; During the "reign of the emperor" of the Sui Dynasty, there were 8.9 million households in the country. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, all economic indicators did not return to the level of the Sui Dynasty. (Book of Sui, Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, Book of the New Tang Dynasty, etc.)

4. The Song Dynasty, which was criticized by "mainstream" experts as "militarily weak", won more than 70% of foreign wars (with a scale of more than 10,000 people, excluding wars of unification and domestic wars); However, the Tang Dynasty, which was considered the most militarily strong, won fewer and lost more in foreign wars. (I spent 8 months reading the "New Tang Book", "Old Tang Book", "History of the Song Dynasty", "History of Liao", "Jin History", "Yuan History", "Western Xia Books", "Continuation of the Governance of the Tongjian", "The Three Dynasties and the Northern Alliance", "The Records of the Years since the Establishment of Yan", "The Continuation of the Governance of the Tongjian", "The Manuscript of the Song Society" and other books. But > 70% is fine. 5. The average combat load of soldiers in the Song Dynasty was 32 kg, and the training load was even higher than this value; Now the training load of the most elite special forces in the United States is less than 15 kilograms. ("Records of the Years Since the Establishment of Yan", "History of the Song Dynasty", "Manuscripts of the Song Society", etc.) 6. China in the Northern Song Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Shenzong Yuanfeng (1078-1085). The urbanization rate has reached an astonishing 30%; In the so-called "Kangqian Prosperous Era" era, this proportion was only 9%; It was only at the beginning of the 21st century that the People's Republic of China regained this value. ("Yuanfeng Nine Domains Chronicles", "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian", "History of the Song Dynasty", etc.) 7. Also during the Yuanfeng period, the annual steel output in North China reached 150,000 tons; After the Industrial Revolution, Britain produced only 76,000 tons of steel in 1788. 8. Throughout the Northern Song Dynasty, China continued to expand its territory, which did not stop until the year before the "Jingkang Change" (1126). ("Continuation of Capital and Governance", "Song Hui to Compile Drafts", etc.) 9. The "Song Ti Zi" created by Qin Hui was the common font for official documents throughout the Southern Song Dynasty, although Qin Hui was used as a negative example most of the time in the Southern Song Dynasty. 10. Throughout the Southern Song Dynasty, China has not been set as a capital, and the level of Lin'an Mansion is only "Xingzai" (accompanying the capital). 11. The reason why the Southern Song Dynasty has always been peaceful is not because the rulers are unwilling to recover their homeland, but because the opposition of the people is too great. What is even more surprising is that the reason why the people oppose it is because they are afraid that after the recovery of their homeland, the Song court will increase the tax revenue in the Jiangnan region to support the reconquest area that has been severely damaged by the Jurchens. 12. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the wages of skilled employees were higher than those of the prefects. (The prefect of the Song Dynasty was generally from the third or fourth grade, with an annual salary of more than 400 yuan, at least equivalent to today's 150,000 yuan) 13. The most advanced loom in the Southern Song Dynasty of China had more than 1,800 moving components, some of which were not able to be reached by modern looms. 14. In the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, China's population accounted for about 15% of the world's population, but its total economy accounted for more than 75% of the world's total. Today, China's population accounts for 21% of the world's population, but the proportion of the world's total economy is only 4%. 15. In 1233, when the Song and Mongolian coalition forces attacked Caizhou, the famous Southern Song general Meng Hui saved the life of the Mongol general Zhang Rou. Four years later, Zhang Rou's son Zhang Hongfan was born, and it was this Zhang Hongfan who destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty in Yashan World War. ("History of the Song Dynasty", "History of the Yuan Dynasty", etc.) 16. Qin Jiushao, a mathematician in the Southern Song Dynasty, had discovered the formula for finding the root of the unary cubic equation in 1247 at the latest, and the Europeans discovered it more than 400 years later, but in Chinese textbooks, this formula is still named after that European. (Nine Chapters of Mathematics, etc.)

17. The Mongol Empire's 13th-century campaign slaughtered 200 million people, making it one of the most inglorious Guinness records in human history, in which 60 million people died in the Mongol massacre in China alone; The 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis pale in comparison. ("History of the Mongols of Dosan", "History of the Song Dynasty", "History of Jin", etc.) 18. The Ming Dynasty had a war with Vietnam during the Yongle period. In this battle, the Ming Dynasty army claimed to be 800,000, and the Vietnamese army was claimed to be 7 million, in fact, the total number of troops on both sides was only 300,000, which was undoubtedly the largest war in Chinese history. [Note: At that time, Vietnam was still Chinese territory] 19. The largest tonnage of treasure ships in Zheng He's fleet in the Western Ocean was about 7,500 tons. 20. The only emperor in Chinese history who married only one wife appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and he was Zhu Youjiao, the emperor of Ming filial piety. 21. The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not go to court for 28 consecutive years, setting a record for Chinese emperors. However, during this period, China won a complete victory in both internal and external wars. 23. From the "Longqing Switch" in 1572 to the fall of the Ming Dynasty in 1644, in the past 70 years, 1/3 of the total amount of silver produced in the whole world poured into China, totaling about 353 million taels (conservative estimates, currently re-estimated at about 500 million taels). And two-thirds of the world's trade is related to China. 24. Almost all of the silver plundered by the Spanish colonists in South America in the 16th century ended up in China through trade. 26. In 1644, a large plague outbreak occurred in northern China, resulting in the annihilation of the 200,000 Ming troops stationed in Beijing, which directly led to the death of the Ming Dynasty to Li Zicheng. 27. The longest used era name is not Kangxi, but the last era name of the Ming Dynasty - Chongzhen, which has been used by North Korea for a total of 265 years. ("Records of the Joseon Dynasty", etc.)

28. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the "Siku Quanshu" was revised, with a total of 3,457 books and 79,070 volumes, and 6,766 books and 93,556 volumes were forbidden. 29. The first Opium War was the result of a vote in the British Parliament, with the side supporting the war gaining only 9 votes. 30. After the end of the First Opium War, someone accidentally found a batch of firearms that had been sealed for more than 200 years in a warehouse in Beijing. These firearms were made in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and some of them were even more advanced than the equipment of the British army. 31. Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty was very frugal and liked to wear clothes with patches, but it cost four taels of silver to patch them. 32. During the Second Opium War, the Qing army fought 120,000 against 20,000 British and French troops, and more than 30,000 were killed, while the other side only lost 4 people, but dozens of people died of disease.
