No matter how worried or depressed you, you should at least show your face every day, especially for a walk before going to bed.

Unless you are particularly tired, Hua Huang would insist on taking a walk before going to bed. This is what Hua Huang asked him for.

However, Emperor Hua did not have a particularly tired time, and his mentality was maintained very well. Even during wars, Emperor Hua was rarely very nervous. The country had just been unified and everything was in its infancy. This is reality and it cannot be changed immediately by being impatient.

So, at around 8 o'clock in the evening, Emperor Hua and Princess Jie held hands and arrived at the garden.

Generally, Princess Katrina Kaifu takes a walk together, but Princess Katrina Kaifu never takes the initiative to look for Princess Huafu, especially today, Princess Katrina Kaifu knows that His Majesty may not want to talk to her about business, and she will not bother His Majesty.

"Hey, it's just May, and it seems a little hot." Emperor Hua had nothing to say. "But let's talk about this later."

Princess Jie listened to His Majesty's disagreement, and didn't know what His Majesty meant and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Princess Jie is not stupid, she is also a smart woman. She is just a talent in politics and cannot keep up with Princess Katrina Kaifu. She seems a little girl in national affairs, but she is not sure about His Majesty's emotional grasp, Princess Jie will not lose to Princess Katrina Kaifu.

"Your Majesty, Spain and Italy belong to Western European capitalist countries, and most of Western Europe belong to developed countries. Why are they so rich?" Jegg asked softly, "What about the United States? Didn't your Majesty always say that the United States is developing very fast, and will it be our opponent in the future?"

President Meng explained: "The developed countries in Western Europe are very different from the developed capitalist countries in the Americas. For example, the United States has the most powerful national strength, military and economics in the world, so the United States is a developed country. However, some small European countries, such as the Vatican and Romania, do not have strong economic strength or even military forces, but they are also developed countries. There are two main reasons for the development of Europe: bourgeois revolution and triangular trade."

"I know the bourgeois revolution, which is the industrial revolution and the corresponding changes in the political system, but what is the triangular trade?" Jie Ge asked, blinking.

Emperor Hua knew that Jie Ge Ge wanted to help him solve his problems, and was not impatient. He explained: "Europe was the first to carry out a bourgeois revolution, which prompted Europe to quickly enter the capitalist system and began to accumulate capital. Triangle trade was a history of Western Europe's foreign expansion in the 16th century. Triangle trade accumulated a large amount of primitive wealth for Western European capitalist countries, and has not been used until now."

Princess Jie said, "So that's the case. No wonder these countries are so rich. What about the original court?"

Princess Jie didn't say that the Qing court was fine, but when she talked about the Qing court, the Emperor Hua became angry.

How did the Qing Dynasty compare with these Western European countries?

Now that we have no strength, it is just because the Qing Dynasty was harmed, because the social reform of Emperor Hua adopted a very gentle method. The Qing Dynasty did not mean that the landlord class among the people was poor, but that the country was poor and the treasury had no money. When the Chinese were unified, the only reserve funds were provided by the Klinsmann foreign company founded by Emperor Hua. It would not be too much to say that the Qing court was poor and only the inner bags were left.

Emperor Hua suppressed a group of officials, which was extremely angry. Otherwise, even if it was corruption, it would have been corruption during the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Hua basically did not pursue it.

If the Qing court had no money, I wouldn't say it, and the army was a mess.

If you don’t have money, you can at least keep more hardware. If you should sell what you should sell, you can upgrade what you cannot sell. The Qing court is a mess, so what can you use to upgrade? Even when many local Qing government troops were disbanded, the Emperor Hua still had to pay for it.

The unification of China is very good, and the society is very stable, but these are all at the cost of the slowdown in the development of the entire country!

What is particularly slowing down is the upper-level technology. Industrial technology is divided into middle-level and lower-level and upper-level. The upper-level is the national heavy industry and military industry. These are the money that the state directly takes. Huahuang doesn’t have much money in his hands, so the development speed of the upper-level technology will definitely be affected.

The Qing court's army was slack, without training, and the discipline was absent. The army was negligent, and the discipline was absent early.

These are incomparable to Europe during the same period.

When Emperor Jiaqing was the crown prince, he once followed Qianlong to parade military service, but what he saw was the farce of "shooting arrows, shooting arrows, running horses, and falling from the ground."

The green camp soldiers had very low salary and were exploited by officials. Therefore, they had to make a living by themselves and work in other industries, and regarded serving as a side job.

Without discipline and practice, even the morale of the army is unstable, the thoughts are lax, the energy is dispersed, and the skills are unfamiliar.

The Eight Banners degenerated due to corruption, so although the Qing Dynasty had 220,000 Eight Banners soldiers and 660,000 Green Camp soldiers, it was already corrupt and seriously lost its combat effectiveness.

Before the Opium War, smoke and poison flowed into the army, and there were many officers and soldiers taking drugs, which caused a serious crisis of weak soldiers.

Apart from opium smoking, it is common for the army to gather in the field to start gambling.

The banned travelers in the capital often come in groups of three or five. They carry birds with bird cages and croakers, travel all day long, or even gather to gamble.

When asked about his name and appearance, he was always patrolling the city and wearing armor, but he had never been on duty. He just hired someone to replace him and embellish the matter.

Cavalry often have no horses, and the navy never knows water.

Generals are ignorant and ignorant, greedy for life and fear of death. Soldiers are blind to military discipline, have no proper training, and have serious bad habits.

During the Opium War, the Eight Banners, Green Camps, Township Warriors, and regiment training were useless, and hundreds of thousands of Qing troops were defeated by more than 10,000 British expeditionary forces. The military power was in a slump.

Emperor Hua really inherited a poor and careless mess from the Qing court. Although the Chinese country has established its own complete military system, it is still in the consolidation stage.

This way of overthrowing a government to come to power is definitely not as good as that of others inheriting it.

It would be fine if the Qing court's army was rotten. Leave some weapons for the cute president, so that the Chinese country could sell it and cash out directly. The Qing court would not have enough military spending and poor weapons.

The army did not leave any "legacy" for Emperor Hua, so let's forget it. What's most annoying about Emperor Hua was that the people were also chaotic by the Qing court.

During the Opium War, Yang Fang, the minister sent by Emperor Daoguang to Guangdong to command the war, believed that the British ships were rampant and that there must be "evil arts" among them, so he ordered the collection of civil toilets and breaking their "evil arts", and the result was a tragic failure.

People at that time ridiculed him for "the manure bucket was still talking about tricks, and the filthy sound spread throughout the Ao City."

General Yangwei, who was sent to Zhejiang to fight, Yi Jing, regarded the war as a joke. Because he dreamed that the British army "abandoned the land and boarded the boat and sailed to the sea" and sent personnel to "detectives, if there was any matter of transporting weapons to return to the boat", he thought it was a good omen. He prayed to Guandi Temple and was able to win the tiger, so he formulated a combat plan to divide troops from Shaoxing into three groups to counterattack Ningbo, Zhenhai and Dinghai. However, the British army obtained intelligence and prepared early, and the Qing army of the three groups returned in great defeat.

What a country fears the most is overall ignorance, which is the biggest enemy that China wants to achieve the speed of its enlightenment.

Due to the above reasons, although some officers and soldiers bravely fought against the enemy, and although the people's anti-aggression struggle achieved local and individual battles, they could not reverse the end of the entire war, nor could they reverse the end of the Qing government.

Forget it if the whole people are ignorant, the most scary thing is cultural corruption!

Imperial Examination Instructions!

Implement a strict cultural autocratic policy. It has always adopted a two-hand policy of both kindness and power for the majority of intellectuals.

On the one hand, the imperial examination system was implemented, and the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" were used to imprison people's thoughts. On the other hand, Daxing literary inquisitions carried out cruel suppression of intellectuals who had a little overwhelming or promoting the "heterological theories".

For example, in Shen Deqian's "Ode to Hei Mu Dan", there is a sentence that "snatched Zhu Fei's true colors, and aliens are also called kings", which is considered to be a ridiculous act of alien rule in the Qing Dynasty, and the body was stabbed by a coffin.

Hu Zhongzao has a poem about "A heart and heart discussing turbidity and clearness", and Qianlong ordered "What is the heart to add the word turbidity to the country's name?" Hu Zhongzao was executed by Lingchi.

During the Qianlong period, there were more than 77 records of literary inquisitions. This autocratic rule would inevitably make the entire society dark and silent.

After the new policy in the late Qing Dynasty, the way to enter the officialdom was to be imperial examinations, donations, recommendations, and select officials from new schools or foreign students. However, the implementation was chaotic and complicated.

Therefore, the backward and chaos in the late Qing Dynasty were also an important reason for corruption.

Western European countries have made hundreds of years of money through black trade, while the Qing court has been economically corrupt for hundreds of years!

Suppress national capitalism.

The early rulers tried their best to maintain the economic foundation of combining individual small agriculture with family handicrafts and suppress national capitalism.

Chinese national capitalism is suffering from the double destruction of foreign capital forces and its own feudal forces, and its growth is extremely difficult.

Although restrictions on national enterprises were relaxed in the later period, from the perspective of the tax system alone, national capitalism still does not have the conditions to match foreign capitalism.

The heavy taxes in the late Qing Dynasty were always under the sign of "new policy funds" and the reform measures that made the sound of high-sounding have mostly become "tyranny" used by corrupt officials to strip the common people.

The order was ordered to collect stamp duty and military expenditures without considering the people's ability to afford them. This caused public grievances and sorrows.

In short, the Qing government rulers became their own gravediggers, and they buried themselves with corruption.

Emperor Hua had never seen the society in the late Ming Dynasty, but Emperor Hua personally believed that the national hardware in the late Qing Dynasty might not be comparable to the late Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago!

At least in the late Ming Dynasty, people's thoughts were not imprisoned like this. The firearms in the late Ming Dynasty were first-class in the world at that time.

The cute president did not do much to seize the Qing court's world. When the Chinese army quickly entered the pass, they took Beijing in less than half a month, and pacified the overall situation of the world.
