Short videos tell the story of ancient times, bringing tears to the eyes of all dynasties

Chapter 53: The Qing Dynasty wants my life, I will kill the Qing Dynasty

Zhu Di was really angry this time.

I think about how much effort and national strength he spent on compiling the "Yongle Encyclopedia" and moving the capital to Beijing.

Tell him now.

Several hundred years later, the Yongle Encyclopedia was stolen by barbarians, and the city of Beijing was captured by the other side with only 20,000 people. How could he accept this?

How can I not be angry?

……

"The barbarian court is hateful!"

At the end of Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian's eyes were red.

Seeing the stupidity of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, Zhu Youjian was extremely grateful that he survived and did not choose to hang himself.

In his opinion, these Qing emperors had no idea what a monarch was or what the world was!
"I want to go to Yingtian! I want to raise an army!"

"I will never be a sinner in the world and let the world fall into the hands of the Jurchens!"

Zhu Youjian was filled with anger.

He believed that after the people of the world learned about the evil deeds of the Qing court in later generations through the sky curtain, they would rise up and fight like him!
……

【公元1901年9月7日，清政府与11国签订辛丑条约，规定华夏赔款4.5亿两白银。】

[It also stipulated that foreign powers could station troops in the Beijing Legation District and 12 important locations around Beijing, which was once called the foreign court.]

……

See here.

The emperors and ministers of all dynasties, who were originally extremely sad and angry, were not as excited as before.

Without him.

I've seen it so many times that I'm almost immune to it.

"Damn court! Damn officials!" But Old Zhu was still as angry as ever.

Because he knew that this 4.5 million taels of silver indemnity would definitely be imposed on the people in the future!

All this instantly reminded him of the corrupt officials who had been plundering the people's wealth at the end of the Yuan Dynasty!

How could he not be angry!
At this moment, Lao Zhu felt as if someone was stabbed in the heart again and again!

Looking forward to it.

I hope a man of great talent and strategy will appear on the land of China as soon as possible to lead the people out of suffering.

Lead China to regain its strength and achieve national rejuvenation.

Make the barbarians submit and let the Chinese people be proud!
……

【The signing of the Boxer Protocol brought an unprecedentedly serious survival crisis to China. 】

[People’s lives were extremely difficult, social contradictions became more acute, public resentment was boiling across the country, and resistance struggles by people from all walks of life surged across the country.]

[Between 1902 and 1911 alone, there were more than 1300 civil uprisings in various places.]

[In August 1905, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the great forerunner of the Democratic Revolution, initiated the establishment of the Tongmenghui in Tokyo, Japan. This was the first bourgeois revolutionary political party in China.]

[In his preface to Min Bao, Sun Yat-sen summarized the Tongmenghui's program as the Three Principles of the People.]

【That is, nationalism, democracy, and people's livelihood. With the determination to revolutionize, Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and other patriotic patriots successively organized more than 10 armed uprisings such as Huanghuagang. 】

[Although they failed one after another, the news shook the whole country. ]

……

In the sky.

There was blood everywhere.

Countless young faces fell in a pool of blood.

But after they fell, countless passionate young people still rushed out one after another, not afraid of the enemy's gunfire.

These young lives don’t think about wealth, fame, or fortune.

Their only goal is to enable this ancient country to stand up again and prevent the Chinese people from being bullied anymore.

For this ideal, they are willing to sacrifice their young lives!

……

The scene changed in the sky.

Deep in the prison, under the dim light, Lin Juemin, one of the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang, sat quietly on the wet stone slab, looking at the Qing official in front of him, without losing any aura.

"Lin Juemin, are you still not aware of your guilt?"

The Qing Dynasty official had a look of disdain and arrogance on his face. He held a memorial in his hand, which contained fabricated evidence of crimes.

It seemed that they wanted to use this so-called "evidence" to crush Lin Juemin.

"My crime?"

Lin Juemin, wearing prison clothes and covered with scars, smiled faintly.

He stood up slowly, his posture as steady as a pine tree. "What I have committed is nothing but the crime of pursuing freedom and truth. The so-called crime you accuse me of is nothing but the fear and anxiety in your own hearts."

At this time, a voice came from a dark corner:
"Lin Juemin, you are a handsome man with a good family background, but why do you want to get involved with the rebels?"

Lin Juemin chuckled at the voice and said, "Zhang Mingqi, why are you hiding in the dark? What are you afraid of?"

A Qing Dynasty official with pigtails walked out of the darkness and asked: "What am I afraid of?"

"You were afraid of my youth, so I chose to die, but I am still young. Although you are still alive, you are already old." Lin Juemin smiled faintly and said, "Have you read Evolution and Ethics?"

"Survival of the fittest. Have you ever thought about this: among the great powers in the world today, which country has not become strong because of revolution? How can China not think about revolution?"

Zhang Mingqi accused the young Lin Juemin and angrily said, "National affairs are not for people like you..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Juemin.

"Mr. Sun Yat-sen once said that China's weakness has reached a point where it is no longer manageable."

"The royal family, nobles and officials are conservative and whitewash their reputations."

"And what about the common people? They are all living in disgrace and ignorance. The great Chinese are despised by other nations and looked down upon by other races."

Zhang Mingqi knew that what Lin Juemin said was true, so he played the emotional card: "Young man, it's not easy for the court either..."

"The imperial court?" Lin Juemin said disdainfully: "The imperial court ceded Hong Kong to Britain and Taiwan to Japan. Is this what the imperial court should do?! What's the point of keeping such an imperial court?"

Zhang Mingqi said: "I am interrogating you, but it turns out that you are interrogating me..."

Lin Juemin said sternly, "Because you have no way to judge me."

Zhang Mingqi sighed and played the emotional card: "Lin Juemin, I intend to show you mercy beyond the law..."

"No need. We rose together and will die together. I cannot be an exception."

Zhang Mingqi looked at the young man in front of him and said seriously: "But if you die like this, there will be nothing left!"

Lin Juemin looked at the Manchu officials in front of him and said contemptuously: "You are afraid of change and afraid of losing your power, so you use these trumped-up charges to suppress us in an attempt to maintain your shaky rule."

"But you are wrong! The wheel of history is rolling forward, and you cannot stop it."

"The Qing Dynasty wants my life, I will destroy the Qing Dynasty's heart!"

The young voice echoed in the prison, and his words were like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of the Qing officials present.

After this sentence.

The scene in the sky changed.

Lin Juemin's hands and feet were shackled as he fell into the abyss. This young life just slept at the bottom of the abyss.

——Every inch of land is stained with blood. It is because of their sacrifices that we have what we have today!
……

"Such bravery and fearlessness, such dedication to the country and the people, is truly a role model for our generation!"

Southern Song Dynasty.

Xin Qiji, who was unemployed at home, watched this scene and his eyes became moist.

Although he is old and frustrated, he is still very happy when he sees those young people in the picture who are fighting for their country.

I just felt my blood boiling.

It was as if I saw countless younger versions of myself.

"You are all people with great ambitions. You wish you could be born in the same era and create great things together!"

He looked at the stars in the night sky, raised his glass and toasted from afar.

At this moment, Xin Qiji's heart was filled with emotion and expectation.

As long as there are heroes like Lin Juemin, the country has hope and the nation has a future.

Feeling moved, Xin Qiji turned back to his desk, his pen tip flying on the paper and his words circling like dragons and snakes.

He incorporated his respect and admiration for Lin Juemin into his writing, and every word seemed to carry his inner voice.

As time went by, poems about Lin Juemin were written by Xin Qiji...

……

[In 1908, Guangxu and Cixi passed away one after another. ]

……

"The witch is finally dead."

Seeing this, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Not to mention that Zhu Di and others were furious, even Kangxi, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, felt ashamed of this!
If we allow this witch to continue doing this, the Qing Dynasty will be cursed to death by future generations!

……

[Under pressure from representatives from all regions, the Qing government prepared to implement a constitutional monarchy and announced the cabinet list in May 1911.]

[But among the 13 members of the cabinet, there are 8 Manchus, 4 Mongolian bannerman, and Han people.]

[Among the eight Manchus, five were royal relatives, so this cabinet was called the Royal Cabinet at the time.]

[It was called constitutionalism, but it was actually autocracy. The whole country was in uproar, which further intensified social contradictions.]

[In May 1911, the Qing government suddenly announced that the railways would be nationalized, and first took action against the Sichuan-Hankou and Guangdong-Hankou railways, selling the rights to foreign countries.]

[Sichuan and other provinces launched a railway protection movement against the Qing government. Sichuan Governor Zhao Erfeng shot and killed dozens of people, causing a bloody massacre. The railway protection movement developed into an armed uprising.]

[In order to suppress the railway protection movement in Sichuan and other places, the Qing government urgently dispatched some Hubei New Army to Sichuan. ]

[At this time, Wuhan was poorly defended. On the evening of October 1911, 10, the revolutionaries of the Eighth Battalion of the New Army stationed in Wuchang fired the first shot of the Wuchang Uprising.]

[The revolutionary soldiers occupied Wuchang overnight. In just three days, the three towns of Wuhan were recovered. The flames of revolution soon spread across the country.]

[In less than a month, 13 provinces across the country declared independence and broke away from the rule of the Qing government.]

【At the end of 1911, the revolutionaries in the South negotiated with the Beijing government headed by Yuan Shikai, which is known in history as the North-South Peace Talks.】

[During the peace talks between the North and the South, Sun Yat-sen returned from overseas and took office as the provisional president in Nanjing on January 1912, 1, announcing the establishment of the Republic of China! ]

——Three shots ushered in a new era.

——From then on, China entered a new chapter!
——The world belongs to all!
——Kneel down to thank the predecessors and heroes,

——No one knows your names, but your achievements will live on in the world!
——History books are too small to contain their greatness. We can easily flip through them and see their entire lives. History books are too big to remember their names. We only know that they are heroes. (crying)
——My brain may be yellow, but my heart is red. (crying)
……

The many time and space of China.

People from all dynasties watched the brave rebel soldiers holding high their flags and rushing towards the enemy with shouts.

Looking at the barrage of comments that were as dense as a swarm of locusts.

A strong emotion surged in the hearts of countless people.

From these young figures, everyone knows that a new era is coming.

"The imperial system has ended, and the world is for all. Future generations will surely enjoy a prosperous era like the eras of Yao, Shun, and Yu."

In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng thought so.

Li Shimin's eyes were complicated: "It seems that the ambitious people in later generations have found a new way to govern this country."

……

【However, surrounded by compromising forces, Sun Yat-sen resigned from the post of provisional president after the abdication of Emperor Xuantong Puyi in February 1912, on the condition that the Qing emperor abdicated, the republic was established, and the provisional constitution was observed.】

[Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the Xinhai Revolution and became the new provisional president.

[On March 1913, 3, Song Jiaoren, a revolutionary and acting chairman of the Kuomintang, was assassinated at the Shanghai Railway Station and died.]

【Sun Yat-sen believed that it was Yuan Shikai who did it and called for a second revolution.】

[However, due to the lack of food and money, few people responded. The South was no match for the Beiyang Army, and the Second Revolution was declared a failure.]

[The revolutionary forces were forced to go underground, the Beiyang government resumed control over various places, and Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing fled to Japan.]

【After the Second Revolution, Yuan Shikai dissolved the Kuomintang, tore up the Provisional Constitution, and conducted secret negotiations with Japan, accepting part of the Twenty-One Demands proposed by Japan that seriously undermined China's sovereignty.】

[On December 1915, 12, Yuan Shikai officially announced the restoration of the monarchy and proclaimed himself the Emperor of the Chinese Empire.]

[Yuan Shikai's perverse actions aroused the anger and opposition of the people across the country.]

[Southern generals Cai E, Tang Jiyao, Li Liejun and others declared independence in Yunnan, sent troops to fight against Yuan Shikai, and launched the National Protection Movement. Other provinces in the south also declared independence.]

[Yuan Shikai, who was emperor for only 83 days, announced the abolition of the monarchy under internal and external pressure and died of illness a few months later.]

——Three heroes who protect the country!
--Rather Stick to your guns!
……

"As expected, no one can refuse the words 'May you live long and prosper'..."

In the palace, Zhu Zhanji picked up the jade seal beside him and sighed, "Yuan Shikai didn't understand the situation and deserved this fate. If he hadn't done this perverse thing, he would barely be considered a figure."

"What a pity! One wrong step leads to another. If my prediction is correct, all that will be left for him is eternal infamy."

……

[After Yuan Shikai's death, the Beiyang government began to fall apart, and China fell into a situation of warlords fighting each other. ]

【Li Yuanhong succeeded as President, and Duan Qirui served as Prime Minister. 】

[The two had a fierce dispute over whether China should participate in the First World War, which is known in history as the dispute between the government and the parliament.]

[In 1917, Anhui Governor Zhang Xun led his troops into Beijing in the name of mediating the dispute between the government and the parliament, and united with the old Qing dynasty to support Puyi's restoration, which aroused the indignation of the people across the country.]

[Later, he was defeated by the anti-rebel army led by Duan Qirui, who was reappointed as the Prime Minister of the Beiyang Government.]

【But he refused to restore the Parliament and the Provisional Constitution. 】

[In order to maintain a true republic, Sun Yat-sen immediately declared Duan Qirui a traitor to the Republic of China, and went south to Guangzhou to start the Protection of the Constitution Movement to maintain the Provisional Constitution.]

[Within just a few months, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and other provinces successively declared independence and established the Law-Protecting Army.]

[In addition, the Shandong National Salvation Army, Fujian National Salvation Army, and Henan Autonomous Army also launched uprisings one after another.]

[However, the powerful faction in the southwest claims to be protecting the law, but in reality they are fighting for territory and want autonomy.]

[The northern and southern warlords colluded to negotiate peace, and the Protection of Law Movement failed.]

[On November 1917, 11, the victory of the October Revolution in Russia ushered in a new era in human history and opened up a path for the victorious progress of proletarian revolutions in countries around the world.]

【More and more newspapers and periodicals began to promote socialism, and a group of intellectuals who supported the Russian October Revolution and had preliminary communist ideas began to emerge in China's ideological circles.】
