If Emperor Kangxi was in the late Qing Dynasty, could he save China?

In some people's view, if Kangxi returned to the late Qing Dynasty, he would be able to turn the tide and save the court in the late Qing Dynasty, which was in jeopardy and completely lost the people's hearts. This kind of wishful thinking is too high for Emperor Kangxi.

Kangxi

Let's not talk about the moisture of Kangxi, a title that is not generally recognized at all. From what Kangxi did during the reign of 6 1, we can completely draw the conclusion that if the positions of Kangxi and the late Qing emperor were reversed, Kangxi could not save the Manchu dynasty at that time. Why do you say that?

Kangxi

First, Kangxi could not save China at the expense of the Eight Banners. Many people have a misunderstanding that the Manchu emperor and China are equal, which is completely wrong, although the Manchu emperor himself never thought so. Emperors of the Qing Dynasty, including Emperor Kangxi, always put the interests of the Eight Banners above those of China.

Eight Banners'

Manchu rule over Chinese mainland is very similar to colonial rule. The starting point of all administrative measures and policies is to consolidate the Eight Banners' rule over China, and to gain benefits and enjoy privileges better, not for the development of China.

Therefore, Kangxi was able to set off a literary inquisition, suppress the development of science and technology in China, and brutally suppress it internally; Empress Dowager Cixi and others at the end of the Qing Dynasty can also betray the national interests, cede land, compensate the great powers for huge sums of money, and open up the domestic market. Measure China's material resources and win the favor of the country? .

The Empress

Second, at the end of the Qing dynasty, the Qing dynasty had completely lost its popularity. More than 70 years since the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty has completely lost people's hearts through numerous traitorous acts. The Manchu dynasty, which has lost its momentum, cannot be saved by an outstanding figure including Kangxi.

Third, Emperor Kangxi was excellent, but he was not as wise as everyone thought, let alone brilliant. Although some people tout eating chaff and pharynx to have loose bowels? Kangxi Shi Sheng? But it is not so much the credit of Kangxi as the credit of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn.

Kangxi

Of course, Emperor Kangxi was not a mediocre man, let alone a groggy one. But as long as we look at the jaxa war between the Qing Dynasty and Russia during the Kangxi period, we can clearly see Kangxi's ability. In the face of Russia, which is only a second-rate power in Europe, and Russian armed immigrants with only a few hundred people, tens of thousands of Manchu troops besieged jaxa and could not attack at all. Finally, they used siege to force armed immigrants from Russia to leave.

Battle of jaxa

However, in the Nebuchadnezzar Chu Treaty signed by China and Russia, the Manchu Dynasty, which had not yet failed, gave up a lot of land, which made Russia easily gain benefits that could not be obtained on the battlefield. Under the rule of Kangxi, the Manchu Dynasty became a bloodsucker.

From the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar Chu, it can be clearly seen that in the face of the increasingly complex international situation, Emperor Kangxi was completely short-sighted and could only be called clumsy. Even so, in the face of advantages, if Emperor Kangxi really reached the Xuan Tong period, he may not be able to perform better than Empress Dowager Cixi in front of the great powers.

Kangxi

Therefore, to expect Emperor Kangxi, who was completely touted by novels and TV series, to save the late Qing Dynasty is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree. Emperor Kangxi was an excellent feudal ruler, but that was all.
