Short video: Shocking the world

[Why is there no Qin? Do you look down on the black-robed First Emperor? ]

Qin Shi Huang: Yes, why is there no Qin?

[The ranking of the six dynasties in this video is not accurate, or it is arranged in historical order. The three dynasties without emperors, Xia, Shang and Zhou, are not counted. Excluding the two short-lived dynasties of Qin and Sui, and the Jin Dynasty, which was in chaos at the beginning of the country, the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are the order of historical dynasties. ]

[Personally, I think it should be: Tang, Han, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Qin from strong to weak. ]

[It should be: Qin, Tang, Han, Ming, Song, Yuan and Qing. ]

[Han is the strongest! Except for Han, which dynasty was not a weak chicken at the end? ]

[Guess why we are Han people? ]

[The Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, after the end of the Han Dynasty, they were divided into three kingdoms, and they could still suppress the surrounding ethnic groups! ]

The Xiongnu, Xianbei and other tribes in the plane at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty: People in later generations are right. The Han Dynasty was divided, and those princes in the Central Plains still bullied us.

[The Han Dynasty was truly strong for 400 years.]

Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: I like to hear this!

[The Ming Dynasty had gunpowder, I don’t understand why the Qing Dynasty didn’t use it? Didn’t they study it?]

[They used it, but they didn’t make any progress in gunpowder. It can be roughly understood that the Qing Dynasty advocated personal force, and gunpowder was seen as a gimmick.]

[The Qing Dynasty always thought about how to suppress the people. After the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, uprisings never stopped, so how could they have the mind to invent.]

[The most important task of the Qing Dynasty was to prevent the rise of the Han people.]

Emperor of the Qing Dynasty: Don’t say this! Although it is the truth, it is embarrassing!

Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty: Isn’t it good to actively promote sinicization like me?

[No, why is there the Song Dynasty? I can’t figure it out!]

[The economy is strong, but it is really bad at fighting wars. Even if it wins, it still loses money.]

[Foreigners only recognize that the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful! ]

[I think the Qing Dynasty was the most powerful. They had foreign guns, communication soldiers, and other equipment when fighting. They had everything that the previous dynasties had. They also had things that the previous dynasties did not have. They were not necessarily weak when fighting against the previous dynasties. ]

Manchu nobles: That makes sense! In the Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, with the same number of troops, my Qing Dynasty crushed them!

[You are a fool when you say that. He is comparing it with the world and other countries of the same era. Which of the three dynasties of Han, Tang, and Yuan was not the strongest dynasty of the same era? Is the Qing Dynasty comparable to Europe of the same era? The European Industrial Revolution has already been completed! ]

[Without the accumulation of the previous dynasties, the Qing Dynasty is nothing! The final outcome may not even be as good as the Indians! ]

Manchu nobles: Where are the Indians from? My Qing Dynasty is not even as good as them?

…

[Do you know why it took the Qing army ten days to massacre Yangzhou? #History#Qing Dynasty]

"Why do people in later generations mention this?"

Seeing this title, the faces of the Qing emperor and ministers changed drastically.

"Yangzhou, our Yangzhou!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked heavy.

When the Ming Dynasty was first founded, Yangzhou had nothing and was desolate. He witnessed the reconstruction of Yangzhou, and Yangzhou was the result of his hard work.

Now seeing Yangzhou being massacred, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not feel heavy?

After all, the Qing Dynasty seized the kingdom of his Zhu family!

"Massacre..."

"Whoever becomes emperor has nothing to do with us. We all have to pay taxes and support the royal family. We just hope that the emperor can be better to us ordinary people. Why do those emperors always massacre the city? Can't they let us go?"

"Maybe this is why there are no emperors in later generations! They...will resist! We should also...resist!"

The people in troubled times once again felt sad, desperate, and unwilling, and once again felt that human life was cheaper than grass.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Facing the oppression of death, a red seed called "resistance" took root in the hearts of many people.

Once the right opportunity comes, this seed will break through the ground.

…

"Let's go, we can't stay in Yangzhou! Go to the deep mountains and old forests, staying alive is the most important thing!"

The people of Yangzhou in the late Ming Dynasty fled Yangzhou collectively, even though the Qing Dynasty had not yet entered the country.

The emperors of some dynasties had massacred cities in the process of seizing the world, so they naturally knew the process of massacres. There were also emperors who were compassionate and hoped that the world would be stable and the people would be happy.

"The massacre of the city by foreigners should be more cruel!"

"The sky should not let the people see this!"

"The people suffer when the country prospers, and the people suffer more when the country perishes!"

"The strong are wolves, and the weak are sheep. Sheep are only eaten by wolves!"

["In ancient times, massacre of the city meant finding everyone and executing them?"]

["Many people think that the so-called massacre of the city means killing everyone in the city. If it really means just killing everyone, it may be a good thing for the people, and it will be a matter of death either way. But the real massacre of the city is much more cruel than just a single blow."]

【“It took the Qing Dynasty ten days to massacre Yangzhou. Before the massacre, there were a million people in Yangzhou, and there were 100,000 Qing soldiers entering the city. That means each Qing soldier killed ten people on average. How could it take less than ten days? How did it take ten days in the end?”】

【“Because massacre is a reward for soldiers, killing people is meaningless to soldiers. Soldiers want money, and seizing the time to make money is the kingly way.”】

【“So at the beginning, the Qing soldiers went door to door in groups to demand money.”】

【“In the beginning, the extortion was relatively gentle. They were not greedy. If they gave some money, the Qing soldiers would leave. If they were unwilling to pay, the Qing soldiers would threaten them with knives. As long as they obeyed, the Qing soldiers would generally not hurt people. ”】

【“The Yangzhou Ten Days Diary recorded this way: I knew that they were extorting money from each household, but they were not extravagant. If they got a little, they would just ignore it. If there was no response, even if they pointed their knives at them, they were still no match for them.”】

【“One hundred thousand Qing soldiers extorted one million people. If we calculate based on a family of five, on average each soldier extorted two households. This would not take ten days, but half a day would be enough.”】

【“From the second day when the Qing soldiers entered the city, the extortion began to escalate. , how can I extort the money I want as quickly as possible? "】

【"If you continue to slowly extort the sheep like you did on the first day, you may not even get to drink the soup in the end. It is better to kill the sheep and eat the meat directly. After all, if you don't rob, others will rob, and if you don't kill, others will kill."】

【"So the Qing soldiers soon became crazy. I don't care which Qing soldier you paid yesterday. You must give me enough money today. If the money you give satisfies me, I can save your life. If I am not satisfied, I will chop you off with a knife. By threatening to kill directly, you can get the hidden property of the residents as quickly as possible and to the greatest extent. "】

【 "Whether your gold, silver or jewelry is buried in the soil or hidden in the wall, I am too lazy to look for it. You can dig it out and give it to me. If you don't, you will die."]

["If we kill all the people in this family, no one in the family can give more money, which proves that this family is indeed out of money."]

["It may be a mistake to kill people, but it doesn't matter. Since you have no money, why keep it? Just kill them."]

["In this way, the people in Yangzhou City were harvested one after another and were completely squeezed dry. When there was nothing left to harvest and most people were dead, the ten-day deadline was up."]
