The video connects all dynasties, starting with an inventory of the top ten emperors

Because they still have lingering fears about the stigmatization of Su Lie (most people in Tang Dynasty used characters in the world) and Pan Mei to be stigmatized by the romance novels of later generations, some people did not fully believe the content of the "Romance of Later Generations" video.

In their view, since the conflict between the Qing government and the Japanese side gradually intensified, the two sides will inevitably prepare for war to varying degrees. Therefore, there may be other reasons for the unfavorable military equipment of the Qing army's navy.

After all, the existence of that kind of firearms, strong ships and sharp guns is a bit out of reach for them, which completely tore apart their long-standing concepts.

But the narration that followed completely clarified the attitudes of the upper echelons of Qing and Ri to prepare for the war.

[In the eighth year of Guangxu (1882), Meiji issued an order to use taxes from the brewing industry, tobacco industry and other industries as naval military expenses, and actively supported the navy to build warships.

Since then, Japan has issued another 1700 million naval bonds to subsidize warship construction expenditures.In the 13th year of Guangxu (1887), the Emperor of Japan allocated 30 from the Royal Internal Treasury to support the construction of naval ships, which triggered a wave of domestic donations to build warships.

Liu Bang: "The ambition of the lord of the Wa Kingdom is not small, no wonder they were able to shake the Qing Dynasty with a small amount of space."

Qianlong: "I can't believe it even if I was beaten to death. In the future, my Qing Dynasty will not even be able to defeat the small Japanese country, and I will be beaten to give up land and pay compensation!"

In the 20th year of Guangxu, Meiji ordered that 30 yuan should be allocated from the imperial treasury every year, and the monthly salary of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs should be one out of ten to make up for the shortage of shipbuilding funds for a period of six years.

Wang Mang: "This is the normal behavior of an aggressive monarch in times of crisis. Look at these enemies, and then look at the upper echelons of the Qing court. It's really incomparable!"

Liu Che: "People are more angry than others! Alas! In the end, I still have to blame Lao Zhu's family!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

Unlike the Japanese navy's active preparations for war, the actual speaker of the Qing court, Empress Dowager Cixi, is actively celebrating her birthday.

Emperor Guangxu and the civil and military ministers of the Qing court were actively raising funds for her. The corrupt elements took the opportunity to embezzle the funds without realizing the war crisis was coming.

Ying Zheng: "..."

Liu Bang, Liu Che...Zhu Houzhao: "..."

Hu Hai: "TND, if we can't defeat the Wa Kingdom, can these clans and senior officials of the Qing court live in the imperial palace in Beijing?
If you can't win, don't you still have to pay compensation?Which is more important, can't they tell the difference at all? TND, pissed me off!By the way, why are you all so restrained!If you should scold, you have to scold..."

Liu Yu: "That's right, TNN is really useless. These idiots would rather pay [-] million yuan in compensation than allocate money to develop military equipment. What's the difference between them and the Three Treasures at the end of the Song Dynasty? Wrong, they are not as good as the Three Treasures at the end of the Song Dynasty!"

However, the funding of the Beiyang Navy has been severely constrained, cut again and again, and the problem of aging and outdated armaments has not been improved for a long time.

Therefore, in response to the political corruption and the intrigue of the upper class in the late Qing Dynasty, later generations once said that "the Qing Dynasty was undefeated, the Japanese country was invincible, and the laws of nature cannot be tolerated"!
Yuan Shao: "That's right, these bastards should be dragged out of the palace and beheaded!"

Zhang Fei: "I'm so angry to see you!"

Sun Jian: "Slaughter, all of them are slaughtered. If I were in the Qing Dynasty, I would be cut to pieces, and I would have to slaughter the upper echelons of the Qing court first! I, Sun Jian, will do my part to kill this kind of stupid officials!"

Liu Yu: "It's a pity, if we take stock of the video, these two people will be punished."]

Faced with the difference between the Qing court and the Japanese upper echelons, people from all planes were outraged.

The Qing army was defeated in the land battle of Baliqiao. The foreign army occupied Beijing, looted and left. After that, they each proudly took 800 million taels of silver and returned to the country.

The Beiyang navy was defeated in the sea battle of the Yellow Sea. The Japanese occupied Liaodong and the Shandong Peninsula, threatened the city of Beijing, and then lightly took [-] million taels of silver.

They don't know how many times the Qing court was defeated, how much silver was paid, and how much land was cut, and they couldn't know all the details. They couldn't figure out why the Qing court didn't learn lessons after repeated defeats, develop their military equipment, and realize their shame before being brave.

Therefore, the only two upper echelons of the Qing court—the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu—became everyone’s outlet, and all kinds of romances and kneeling portraits about these two people began to be produced and circulated.

Many planes who received the iron statues of Zhao Gou's five made kneeling iron statues of Cixi and Guangxu based on the video.

The seventh year of Shaoxing (1137), Lin'an Prefecture.

At the Traitor Monument outside the city of Lin'an Mansion, two freshly baked iron statues were carried to the side of the other four iron statues.

Facing the man with long braids and the iron statue of a woman with a shadowy appearance, the people onlookers began to speculate.

"This hairstyle is so ugly!"

"What's going on? Why are there two more men and women here?"

"That's right, by the way... the Zhao family... where did that iron statue go? I came all the way here just to fight... um, take a look."

"You don't know, I know. Let me tell you, I heard that the iron statue was carried to the palace. After all, it is..." The man who spoke pointed to the sky and smiled meaningfully.

"Who are these two men and women?"

"I heard that one is the empress dowager and the other is the emperor. Anyway, they are not good things. You can go to Wazi and listen to the latest "Late Qing Dynasty Traitor Biography" and you will know."

The person in charge of moving the iron statue cupped his hands around and said, "Everyone, one of these two is named Cixi and the other is called Guangxu. In terms of crime, they are far better than people like Qin Hui. I have customized two iron portraits, and let you all take a look at their faces."

Naturally, the cost of making two iron statues was high, so Wei Guoxing's words aroused applause from the people around him.

"Atmosphere, Weiguohang is atmosphere!"

"it is good!"

"As expected of your family!"

"..."

After the head of the Weiguohang took his people away, the student who came to Lai'an from other places asked, "What does this Weiguohang do?"

"You don't even know this. Let me tell you, Weiguohang is a large shop specializing in custom kneeling portraits.

In addition to this special display of iron figures, they also have a few smaller kneeling figures made of various materials, as long as you have money, you can get the kneeling figures of that one!"

"What, they are so arrogant, Wei Guoxing even dare to make...!"

"..."

With the circulation of romance novels, iron statues kneeling to plead guilty and other items in various planes, public opinion began to play a role again, recreating the supervisory role of public opinion in the pre-Qin period.

Wang Mang, who was in the plane of Xinmang in the early years of the founding of the country (9 AD), was the most happy about this. For him, this was a sign of the revival of Zhou Zheng.

Although he didn't dare to carry out Zhou Zheng without authorization, as a loyal Confucian scholar, even if he could only see a trace of Zhou Zheng's revival, he was very happy.

"Didn't you say that you are making a new inventory video? Why haven't I posted it yet?"
