19 12 why did you choose to abdicate rather than retreat to establish the Beiqing regime?

Why did the Qing dynasty choose to abdicate in 19 12, instead of withdrawing from the customs and establishing the Northern Qing regime? After the Qing army entered the customs, it won the world. At this time, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty actually left a good way out for themselves. That is, the Qing dynasty banned its own Longxing land to prevent people from emigrating. The purpose is that one day the Qing court lost the world and was able to retreat to the outside world.

I have to say that the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were really selfish, which made the population growth in Northeast China extremely slow. Take Jilin as an example. During the sixty years from the fifty years of Kangxi to the thirty-six years of Qianlong, the population of Jilin increased by an average of 364.6 per year, accounting for 54,900.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement broke out, the troops from outside Shanhaiguan Pass were constantly transferred into Shanhaiguan Pass, which caused a serious shortage of soldiers in Northeast China, which gave Russia an opportunity. During this period, Russia seized 6,543,800 square kilometers of land in the northeast of China through various treaties. As The History of China in Cambridge in the late Qing Dynasty said:

The Qing Empire lost the most vast and precious land in Northeast China because the Qing government could not see the value of these lands, and still insisted on the outdated policy of restricting Han people to China.

Of course, the Qing government must have seen the value of these lands, otherwise it would not have kept people from entering the customs for so many years.

Although the blockade policy can stop the domestic people, it can't do anything about foreign powers. After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan also began to invade Northeast China. To this end, Japan and Russia are also fighting in the northeast. If this situation continues, the Qing Dynasty will definitely lose the Northeast. This is also the reason why the rulers of the Qing dynasty were unwilling to return to the northeast, because it meant falling into the hands of foreign powers.

There was no way, so the rulers of Qing Dynasty had to let people from inside Shanhaiguan emigrate to outside Shanhaiguan, which caused a sharp increase in the population outside Shanhaiguan. Of course, this also means that it is impossible for the Qing dynasty to close its doors to the outside world, because the increase of immigrants has disintegrated the flag management system of the Qing dynasty in the northeast.

When the ban was implemented, the local administrative system in Northeast China was based on the garrison of the Eight Banners and developed on the flag land. The Qing Dynasty gave each Eight Banners land, and the Banners had the right to use the land, but they did not have the right to control it, nor could they transfer it or buy it. However, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the gap between the rich and the poor increased, and the flag field began to be transformed into private land.

Especially after the Qing Dynasty opened the Northeast, the population of the Northeast increased to more than 27 million in the last years of Guangxu, and a large number of emerging cities appeared, which was completely different from the military rule of the flag officials before the Qing Dynasty.
