Chapter 365 Picking the Door Emperor
"In this battle, Jin Ning also personally shot and killed two Tianli disciples to suppress their offensive, and then hurriedly sent a message to Jiaqing and asked him to send troops to participate in the suppression."
"Eventually, after some effort, the uprising was finally suppressed."
"It can be seen from this incident that Emperor Daoguang is still very courageous."
Emperor Daoguang's incident is the famous "Guiyou Change" in history. ”
"From this incident, we can see that during the Jiaqing Dynasty, the peasant uprising had reached a small climax, and the Qing Dynasty had gradually moved from prosperity to decline."
"In addition, in this campaign to suppress the Tenrikyo uprising, Jinning's bravery and composure played a huge role, which also left a good impression on Emperor Jiaqing, and he was subsequently made a prince by Emperor Jiaqing."
It is worth mentioning that the fire gun he used to kill the enemy was also specially given the name "Weilie" by Emperor Jiaqing. ”
"It can be seen that Jiaqing appreciates and loves this son."
"After the death of Jiaqing Jiaqing, Jinning succeeded to the throne smoothly for Emperor Daoguang."
After Jinning became emperor, he officially changed his name to "Minning". ”
Liu Bang: This kid is not a good-for-nothing person, how can he be an emperor and be a brainless?
Fan Zhongyan: Lack of courage and courage, frugality is a good thing, but for an emperor, you must first have the ability to govern the country.
Li Zhi: Short-sighted, unable to see the development of the country, as well as the changes of different races, and not knowing how to be flexible, he can only be mediocre, of course, I don't mean him.
Liu Bei: Although we don't understand some words, we can also hear that the changes that have taken place in the Qing Dynasty are very big, and they are completely different from our fight against the Huns and the Japanese Invaders.
Wu Zetian: But the enemy you face should not be underestimated, at this time, the person standing on the throne must be very bold and decisive, this is not something that a simple emperor can do, it can only be said that time is also fate!
"Although this Emperor of Light is also thrifty, he is also quite picky."
After Emperor Daoguang, who was "obsessed with frugality", ascended the throne, he began to spend carefully on the court, stipulating that the annual expenditure of silver should not exceed 200,000 taels, and Emperor Jiaqing had to be careful about everything. ”
"For example, when it comes to simple dressing, he doesn't have a lot of clothes, and he only changes them once a month, and even his dragon robe is made of old fabric."
"In addition, he also stipulated that except for the Queen Mother, the Empress and himself, no one else can eat meat until the festival."
"Although he can eat meat, he always eats some vegetarian dishes, and he eats meat very rarely."
"Not only that, but he also stipulates that his concubines are not allowed to use rouge gouache on major festivals, let alone those palace maids with low status."
"Once, Emperor Daoguang invited hundreds of civil and military officials to a birthday banquet for his queen, and his food standard was not any delicacies from the mountains and seas, but a simple bowl of lo noodles per person."
As the saying goes: "If the upper is good, the lower will follow suit", as the emperor is so frugal, the subordinates will naturally follow suit. ”
"Of course, this so-called emulation is not sincere frugality, but simply to curry favor with Emperor Daoguang and win his favor."
"The ministers saw that Emperor Daoguang's clothes were often patched, and the clothes worn by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were patched for a while, whether it was really torn or not, since the emperor did this, then of course he had to do it himself."
"It is said that at that time, the old clothes sold by the ready-to-wear shops in the capital were more expensive than the new clothes, but even so, the supply often exceeded the supply."
"Of course, if that's the case, then this is completely contrary to the essence of Emperor Daoguang's advocacy of frugality!"
"Therefore, the frugality advocated by Emperor Daoguang gradually evolved into a tool for ministers to do what they liked!"
"The frugality advocated by Emperor Daoguang seems to be a virtue, but in fact it is just a manifestation of stinginess."
"After all, the emperor is not the head of an ordinary family, and it is good to be diligent and thrifty."
"But as the co-lord of the world, the emperor's words and deeds are related to the people's livelihood, society and the future and destiny of the country."
"Emperor Daoguang advocated frugality and opposed extravagance and waste in the court, but if it was added to officials, it might not be effective, and if it was not done well, it would create a group of officials who were indifferent and had nothing to do."
"What's more, Emperor Daoguang's thrift is not only limited to the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the palace, but even the great cause of the military state is very stingy."
Fusu: Is it still frugal militarily? Is it military rations?
Zhu Yuanzhang: Withholding military rations? If this is the case, this Daoguang Emperor directly said that the faint monarch had it, and he dared to save military rations?
Wei Zheng: Not necessarily, what is the difference between the Great Song Dynasty and saving military rations?
"Not really, but almost, it's quite scathing."
"For example, in the early years of Daoguang, there was a rebellion in the XJ area, and the Qing Dynasty sent troops to quell the rebellion and won the victory."
"After the class teacher returned to the court, Emperor Daoguang gave a banquet to the meritorious generals."
"It stands to reason that the celebration banquet prepared by the emperor should be extremely sumptuous, but in fact, there are only a few dishes during the banquet, and Emperor Daoguang only knows how to talk and not eat, which makes all the soldiers dare not move chopsticks easily."
"I finally "enjoyed" a palace banquet, but I didn't eat anything. ”
"Of course, whether to eat or not is just a trivial matter, Emperor Daoguang then felt that XJ could not send troops to garrison, and if he sent more troops, it would mean that the cost would be large, and Emperor Daoguang was reluctant to take this money from the treasury, and in the end he could only deduct military salaries from other places to ensure the salary of XJ garrison." ”
"But in this case, the military districts in other places will not do anything, why does the emperor not pay from the treasury, but deduct the military salary from himself to give XJ's garrison?"
There are many things like this that seem to be fatal when you spend money, and these are very good realizations, as the king of a country, Emperor Daoguang's excessive and ridiculous "frugality". ”
Kangxi: So frugal, can't you pay military salaries? What about money?
Han Xin: The previous Lao Tzu was so frugal, what about your money? Do you want to deduct military salaries?
"Ahem, do you know why Da Song is called "Send Song"? Daqing is almost sent out? ”
Qianlong: What do you mean?
Kangxi: This loser's thing, not a descendant, said that what did it give to the alien race, why did we send it to the alien race in the Qing Dynasty?
Shangguan Wan'er: I remembered, is it that opium?
Qin Shi Huang: What is opium?
Dugu Jialuo: It's the projection stone that I sold some time ago, and I've seen it, so I think how come this Emperor of Light has heard of it, and I haven't remembered it, anyway, I signed an unequal treaty.
