Rebirth and stocking up in the apocalypse, I have tens of thousands of supplies for the world
Chapter 945 Game World 16
Under the rule of this queen mother, people's lives became increasingly difficult and their living standards deteriorated.
However, unexpectedly, she actually launched a so-called "Westernization Movement" whose purpose was to strengthen her own military by purchasing advanced weapons and equipment from abroad.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this approach is nothing but a pipe dream and will not have any substantial effect at all.
At the same time, the brutal butcher Yakub Beg from Central Asia took advantage of the situation and forcibly occupied a large area of territory.
Faced with such a serious situation, the later emperor was worried and depressed all day long, and eventually became depressed and died with hatred.
Afterwards, the Empress Dowager once again used her means to support her nephew to ascend the throne, so that she could continue to rule the country from behind the scenes and monopolize government control.
The empress dowager lived an extremely luxurious life on weekdays. The cost of a single meal was equivalent to what ordinary people would earn through years of hard work.
Coupled with the huge amount of war reparations, the already stretched court finances fell into an unprecedented predicament.
Under her governance, the country became increasingly impoverished and decadent, and the people were plunged into the abyss of misery.
Today, ordinary people can no longer afford the high costs of smoking marijuana and opium.
However, those powerful and wealthy people in the court can still enjoy themselves to their heart's content, and sometimes even exploit their tenant farmers even more severely in order to satisfy their own desire for drugs.
. . . . . .
The woman who had the ambition to become the next empress, after countless open and secret struggles and power struggles, finally got her wish and firmly grasped the supreme power in her own hands.
However, at this time of rapid change, a group of the most hated forces emerged and stepped onto the stage of history.
These guys should have been just vassals of this dynasty, relying on the powerful Chinese regime like fence-sitters, but after several reforms and strengthening efforts, they gradually rose and grew stronger.
In a certain year, a thrilling naval battle broke out - it was a life-and-death duel between the navy of these dwarves and the navy of the imperial court.
Although the dynasty's fleet was once majestic and invincible, it was eventually defeated by an opponent who was more powerful than before.
This catastrophic defeat made the court, which had already lost all its dignity and prestige, even worse, and plunged it into an unprecedented predicament.
In desperation, the dying imperial court had to once again humiliatingly sign a series of unequal treaties requiring payment of indemnities and cession of territory, and watched helplessly as its own territory was wantonly divided up and devoured by various foreign powers.
Poor innocent people! Not only do they have to endure heavy exploitation and oppression from landlords, corrupt officials and the corrupt and incompetent court, but now they also have to face humiliation and plunder from all kinds of foreign invaders.
Life for them is as painful as purgatory.
. . . . . .
"Expel the Tartars and restore China..."
In that turbulent era, a brave and fearless revolutionary pioneer stepped forward and founded the Xingzhonghui.
He had great ambitions and was determined to devote himself to the great cause of overthrowing the corrupt monarchy, determined to save the country and the people from dire straits.
At the same time, the little emperor in the palace was also unwilling to just play the role of a puppet at the mercy of others, and he could not tolerate the abuse and accusations from all sides.
So, he resolutely joined hands with other ministers and launched a vigorous movement aimed at reform and strengthening the country.
However, it is regrettable that the young emperor is still immature and his ability is far inferior to that of the powerful empress dowager.
Ultimately, this reform ended in failure, and those who participated in it either fled or died.
When it comes to the decline and fall of the dynasty, the blame cannot be entirely placed on the stupid and vicious queen dowager alone.
In fact, there have always been a group of incompetent emperors and ministers who have been doing nothing but sitting in their positions.
Moreover, the invasion of foreign enemies did not begin when that woman came to power. As early as during the reign of her previous emperor, many unequal treaties that were humiliating and detrimental to the country had been signed.
The decline of the dynasty did not originate from a specific emperor, but should be traced back to the monarch who decided to close the country to the outside world and the emperor who adopted a policy of keeping the people ignorant in order to better control them.
Many soldiers in the army used to be literate, but now most of the lower-class people cannot read a single word.
Therefore...all the blame should be borne jointly by all the emperors of this dynasty. It was precisely because of their narrow-mindedness and inaction that the country fell into such a predicament.
"Ah! Fire! There's a fire!"
Accompanied by a terrified cry, raging flames suddenly rose up.
"Fight the fire!"
Panicked people ran around shouting and trying to put out the flames, but the fire became more fierce, ruthlessly devouring everything around it...
. . . . . .
A raging fire raged, as if it was going to devour the entire world. This sudden fire was like a ferocious beast, mercilessly sweeping through the imperial city.
At the same time, armies from eight different countries poured in like a tide. With greed and ambition, they wantonly trampled on this once glorious land.
The garden, which was praised as the most beautiful and magnificent in the world at that time, was reduced to ashes in this catastrophe.
Countless rare cultural relics, artworks and national treasures disappeared without a trace in the flames. This tragic scene deeply hurt the hearts of the people, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time in their hearts finally erupted like a volcano.
At this moment of national crisis, a brave and fearless revolutionary pioneer stepped forward, raised his arms and called on like-minded people to form an alliance and launched a vigorous uprising.
However, facing powerful enemies, the rebels suffered setbacks and failures repeatedly. But every fall only made them more determined and moved forward courageously.
Inside the palace, the situation was equally turbulent. The emperor, who was high above everyone else, was secretly poisoned by someone unknown and eventually died tragically from arsenic.
When the throne was vacant, a woman took the opportunity to support a new emperor and attempted to control the government.
But she did not have the outstanding talents and courage of the empress after all. Although she successfully ascended the throne, she was unable to save the crumbling dynasty from dire straits.
The following year, a great wave of uprisings swept across the country, with various provinces declaring independence from the imperial court.
Seeing that the situation was critical, the emperor's father had no choice but to re-employ a minister, hoping that he could quell the rebellion and stabilize the country.
However, things went against his wishes. The minister had ulterior motives and used his power to drive the emperor out of office, and turned himself into a regent with utmost power.
