Chapter 380: Xinhai Revolution

Qin Shi Huang: I may not be able to do this situation, this is not a matter of a single emperor, if you want to change from Emperor Guangxu at this time, it is a little late, and no one is available, and the degree of development of the West is still too large.

Zhu Yuanzhang: I fought the world, but this situation is obviously not good, and I can't guarantee that I can bring back the Qing Dynasty.

Cheng Yanjin: It's all Qianlong's pot, for the sake of power ambitions, let our country become this kind of consequence, you are a historical sinner!

Zhang Fei: That's right! It's just a sinner, you look at these wars on the projection, it's all because of you, ******

……

Zhang Yanxi looked at everyone's insults to Qianlong, and really wanted to say that if you scold well, it is Qianlong's pot.

"Because of the death of Emperor Guangxu, of course the Empress Dowager Cixi still has to choose a puppet emperor, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjue Luo Puyi, is also known as the Xuantong Emperor and the Qing Emperor!"

"Pu Yi was designated as the heir by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and at the age of three, he ascended to the throne of the emperor."

"However, his reign as emperor did not last long."

"As the last emperor, his life was even more tragic and bleak."

"In 1912, the Xinhai Revolution broke out and overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and Pu Yi was forced to abdicate, but he still retained the title of emperor and temporarily lived in the Forbidden City."

"This outbreak is just as expected as the peasant uprising."

"In so many wars, even the common people can see the gap between the two sides, coupled with a variety of unequal treaties, there is still serious corruption in the court, and the control remains outdated."

"At this time, the people were very depressed, the Qing Dynasty was already crumbling, and the dynasty still wanted to control power and rule everything, and the people's disgust was about to explode at this time."

"At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the economy of the Qing Dynasty suffered a serious crisis."

"Due to the internal and external political problems of the Qing government, political turmoil continued, which made economic development stagnant or even regressed."

"In addition, the invasion and control of the Qing Dynasty by the great powers led to a massive loss of wealth and weakened the country's economic power."

"In this case, the traditional agricultural economy and handicraft economy can no longer meet the needs of social and economic development, while the industrial revolution in the West began to affect the Qing Dynasty."

"Many Chinese intellectuals and businessmen have begun to pay attention to the advanced technology and economic system of the West, hoping to promote China's modernization process."

"However, due to the unequal foreign relations of the Qing government, the Qing Dynasty was unable to obtain equal trade opportunities and technological exchanges with Western countries, which exacerbated the country's economic crisis and backwardness."

"Even the shackles of traditional culture are an important background of the Xinhai Revolution."

"During the Qing Dynasty, the influence of feudal ideology and Confucian culture was very strong in the national society, which led to the closure and conservatism of the society."

"In addition, the existence of the imperial examination system has made the upper echelons of society pay more attention to cultural quality, while ignoring the solution of practical problems."

"In this cultural context, the intellectual and scholarly classes began to think about how they could promote social change."

"By studying the advanced ideas and institutions of the West, they have gradually formed a force for change."

"At the same time, some new cultural movements also emerged, which criticized and reflected on traditional culture, and provided the basis for the ideological preparation and promotion of the Xinhai Revolution."

"The intellectuals and scholars also began to realize the power of the Western powers, and they believed that in order to promote modernization, they must first learn from the West in political, economic, cultural and other aspects and promote change."

"This trend of thought contributed to the Xinhai Revolution."

"In 1908, the Empress Dowager Cixi died, and the Qing Dynasty was politically unpredictable and the situation was turbulent."

"In the same year, the Wuchang Shou Rebellion broke out, and part of the Hubei army revolted, but it was quickly suppressed."

"In 1909, Yuan Shikai presided over the formulation of political reform programs such as the Organic Law of the National Assembly of the President and Vice President, which attracted the attention and support of some progressives."

"Since then, the reformers and revolutionaries have taken different actions."

"In August 1910, Huang Xing founded the Liberation Society in Tokyo, a cherry blossom country, with the aim of fighting for the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the dignity of the Chinese nation."

"The Liberation Society has received the response and support of patriotic people from all over the country, forming a nationwide anti-Qing democratic united front."

"I can hear what I said, at this time, the Qing Dynasty was anti-Qing everywhere, whether it was the people, students, or Western countries, it directly broke out in an all-round way."

"On October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising broke out, and the southern provinces responded one after another, and the Xinhai Revolution broke out."

"The revolutionary army, under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen, overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China."

"Since then, revolutionary armies and patriots throughout the country have struggled ceaselessly to promote profound changes in the political, economic, cultural, and educational fields."

"This is the history of modern times, the struggle with these Wests, the establishment of a new country, and the development and reform of my current society."

"Looking back, we are looking at Emperor Xuantong at that time."

"In BJ in 1918, on the big stage where all kinds of characters performed to their heart's content, there was a child who was often overlooked."

"He often rode his bicycle around the huge courtyard with the threshold sawed off, and he was the Qing Emperor Puyi who hid in the Forbidden City."

"Pu Yi is indeed a different character."

He was not only the last emperor of the last feudal dynasty in the country of flowers, but also the only one who served as an "emperor" three times. ”

The first time was the Xinhai Revolution, and the second time Pu Yi became emperor was the "Zhang Xun Restoration" in 1917.

In that year, Zhang Xun led the "pigtail soldiers" into Beijing with great momentum, shouting everywhere to "return the great government".

At that time, BJ was shouting "the restoration of the Qing Dynasty" all over the street, and the old and young relics of the former Qing Dynasty wearing Qing Dynasty robes and gowns swaggered down the street, dragging braids that had disappeared for several years behind their heads, which they wasted no time in rushing to the store to order. And the Forbidden City, which was once deserted, was also lively all of a sudden. ”

"In the heart of the little emperor, there is no doubt that he is looking forward to the success of the restoration."

"Of course it worked."

"Pu Yi, who was only 12 years old, sat on the dragon chair again, made a big seal to the ministers, awarded Li Yuanhong as a first-class duke, and appointed Zhang Xun, Wang Shizhen, Chen Baochen, Liang Dunyan and others as cabinet ministers and so on."

"But the good times didn't last long, on July 3, Duan Qirui sent troops to fight, on the 12th, Zhang Xun fled to the Dutch Embassy, and the next day Pu Yi announced his second abdication, and only sat on the dragon chair for eleven days and stepped down."

On November 5, 1924, Feng Yuxiang sent Lu Zhonglin to lead troops into the Forbidden City and force Puyi to leave the palace, which is known in history as the "forced palace incident". Pu Yi moved into Beifu, which was Zaifeng's residence, and then fled to the Sakura Legation. ”

"After Pu Yi was forced to the palace, all the major newspapers in the Sakura Country published articles sympathizing with Pu Yi, and soon someone was sent to escort Pu Yi to Tianjin."
