I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

[Popular Science Short Video Collection Series 2. ]

[Seventeen, the curse of the fall of the country in all dynasties. ]

[Looking back at thousands of years of China. ]

[Almost all emperors learned from the experience and lessons of the previous dynasty. ]

[However, the result was exactly the same - they all went to the fall of the country! ]

[The Shang Dynasty sent too many troops to open up wasteland, thus neglecting the defense of the capital. ]

[Finally, the Zhou tribe stole the home in one fell swoop and then destroyed the country. ]

[The King of Zhou learned from his mistakes and was afraid that the same ending would happen to him in the future. ].

[So, he changed his strategy. ]

[Let the princes go out to open up wasteland, while he himself stayed in the capital. ]

[This not only completed the feat of expanding the territory, but also solved the hidden danger of the empty capital, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. 】

【The Zhou king's approach was smooth sailing in the early stage. 】

【However, as more and more princes were enfeoffed, the princes gradually became dissatisfied with their own small piece of land and began to fight each other. 】

【In the end, they even ignored the Zhou royal family! 】

【In the end, the Qin State became bigger and stronger, not only destroying the Zhou royal family, but also unifying the chaotic world in one fell swoop. 】

【The Qin Dynasty then reflected on the lessons learned from the Zhou Dynasty and figured out the drawbacks of the enfeoffment system. 】

【Finally, they chose to take a different approach and implemented an unprecedented centralized system, completely controlling power in the central government and adopting the central government's appointment of officials to manage local areas. 】

【This avoided the situation where local officials became bigger and stronger and threatened the ruling position of the Qin Dynasty. 】

【It seemed perfect, but the first emperor Ying Zheng ignored the loyalty of the officials below. When the empire was at stake, the officials below surrendered or rebelled. 】

【Liu Bang, who was born as an official, won in the end. 】

【He further learned from the experience of the Qin Dynasty and felt that even he could not be trusted, so how could he expect the people below to be loyal to him? 】

【So Liu Bang enfeoffed his sons as kings. 】

【He felt that even if there was a day when the world was in chaos, no matter which king won, at least the world would still be in the hands of the Liu family. 】

【But Liu Bang underestimated the desire brought by power. 】

【If the power is too great, the imperial power will be threatened; if the power is too small, it will easily force them to rebel. 】

【As a result, the Rebellion of the Seven Kings broke out. 】

【During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che believed that the county system was necessary. 】

【So he began to vigorously promote it and directed his spearhead against the outside world. 】

【He believed that this would not only solve the people's sense of belonging, but also defeat foreign enemies. 】

【But in the end, the regime was usurped by foreign relatives. 】

【In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor at this time did not trust anyone and believed that the person who was least likely to rebel was the eunuch who was with him. 】

【But what they didn't know was that the eunuchs were in power.After that, it was even more worrying. 】

【This group of eunuchs held great power and acted recklessly, causing unrest in the world. Then a large-scale uprising broke out in the world. 】

【The court could not control the situation and could only delegate power to the localities and let them solve it themselves. 】

【As a result, the rebellion was resolved, and the localities became bigger and stronger. 】

【Even the emperor became a plaything in the hands of warlords, and various warlords fought fiercely. 】

【Finally, the Sima family succeeded in stealing the family. 】

【If Cao Cao knew this outcome, I'm afraid he would not be able to hold the coffin lid down! 】

【The Sima family once again learned from the experience of Cao Wei. 】

【They believed that the reason for the demise of the Cao Wei Empire was that the royal family was too weak, and Emperor Wen of Wei suppressed the power of the family, which eventually gave them the opportunity to steal the family. 】

【So, the Jin Dynasty risked the world's disapproval and began to enfeoff members of its own family. 】

【Thereby strengthening the power of the family. 】

【In fact, it was equivalent to returning to the period of enfeoffment. 】

【As a result, retribution soon came, and the Eight Kings Rebellion severely damaged the national strength of the Jin Dynasty. 】

【Eventually, it was stolen and destroyed by foreign races. 】

【Since then, a situation of confrontation between the north and the south has been formed, and the Sui Dynasty finally unified the world. 】

【The Sui Dynasty once again learned from the experience and lessons of the previous dynasty. 】

【They believed that the fundamental reason for the demise of many dynasties was that the power of the aristocratic families was too great, which seriously threatened the imperial power. 】

【So, they decided to eliminate the power of the old aristocracy, and then the imperial examination system was born. 】

【Through the election system, the capable will be in power. 】

【However, this practice did greatly weaken the power of the old nobles, which made them resentful. 】

【Thus, under the promotion of the aristocratic families and the excessive consumption of national power by Emperor Yang of Sui, a series of problems were triggered. 】

【This led to the boiling public resentment within the Sui Dynasty. 】

【Eventually, the Sui Dynasty was replaced by the Tang Dynasty. 】

【The Tang Dynasty summed up all the previous experiences and lessons. 】

【A new official position, "Jiedushi", was derived. 】

【But the Jiedushi's power was too great and he directly rebelled against the emperor! 】

【Even the Tang emperor was forced to leave the capital! 】

【Although the rebellion was eventually quelled, the Tang Dynasty had already begun to decline. 】

【And, Zhu Wen successfully usurped power in the end, and then the world entered a period of chaos. 】

【Five dynasties emerged in the Central Plains, among which there were some separatist regimes. 】

【This chaos lasted for decades until the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty. 】

【The emperor of the Song Dynasty once again learned from the experience and lessons of the Tang Dynasty. 】

【Zhao Kuangyin knew that the power of the generals was too great, and the risks brought by the self-reliance of the mercenaries were too great. 】

【After all, he was familiar with this plot. 】

【Zhao Kuangyin felt that the power of the generals must be controlled! 】

[The Song Dynasty began to implement the policy of emphasizing civil affairs over military affairs, so as to resist the rebellion of military generals from the root. ]

[The Song Dynasty arranged the country well, but it also indirectly caused the military generals to have military talents but no place to use them. ]

[The Song Dynasty suppressed the military generals, but indirectly ignored the foreign enemies. ]

[In the end, the national regime was replaced by a group of nomadic peoples. ]

[Then China entered the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. ]

[Until Zhu Yuanzhang appeared and drove the grassland people back to the grassland again, and the Yuan Dynasty perished. ]

[Zhu Yuanzhang once again learned the lessons of all the previous dynasties. ]

[So, the Ming Dynasty began to focus on resisting foreign enemies, and even moved the capital to the border station. ]

[This time, the foreign enemies were arranged honestly and clearly. 】

【But in the end, the rebels succeeded in stealing the house. 】

【Then the Qing army entered the pass and took advantage of the situation. 】

【The Qing Dynasty once again learned from all the previous experiences and lessons, and dealt with all internal problems and external hidden dangers. 】

·· ··Please give me 0 ·········

【This time the effect was surprisingly good. 】

【No troubles have been made. 】

【Therefore, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty at that time were extremely confident, thinking that they could be passed down for generations and rest assured. 】

【Even the foreign countries that came to trade were sent back. 】

【But the Qing emperor did not expect that at this time, the technology of other countries outside the sea was developing rapidly. 】

【In the end, the Qing Dynasty was forced to open its doors by the coalition forces. 】

[...]

[So many lessons learned were summarized for our generation, and told us a profound truth: if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and the truth is always within the range of cannons. 】

.....................................................................

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng, who was very happy just now, almost had a myocardial infarction! !

It's true that the happier you laughed before, the sadder you are now.

........ ........ .......

Although he had learned the end of the Qin Dynasty from the light curtain in advance.

But he watched it again.

It still made him unable to accept the reality!

Ying Zheng's expression froze instantly.

He suspected that the light curtain was deliberately playing tricks!

First, let him be happy, watch some funny cases, and then suddenly tell yourself: Stop laughing, your Qin Dynasty is dead!

Ying Zheng was madly complaining in his heart, but he saw that other dynasties had the same ending.

I don’t know what’s going on.

Suddenly, I’m not so sad anymore.

This may be a case of sympathy, not gloating.

.........................................................................

Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't laugh anymore!

"You! You! Why did you let me know? I don't want to know!"

Originally happy.

Who can be happy now? ?

Zhao Kuangyin's face was livid. He was dumbfounded. Even if the light curtain told him the price of emphasizing civil over military, what could he do?

Change the national policy and continue to use military generals?

No, that might make the Song Dynasty even shorter-lived!

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin almost cursed!

Can't let yourself be happy? Anyway, the country is ruined and it's ruined!

...........................................................................

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth wide.

This is not shock, but because he was laughing too happily before, and his expression suddenly froze.

For a long while.

Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed: "So that's how it is!"

"We finally know how the Ming Dynasty fell!"

"Internal and external troubles, internal and external troubles..."

"What should I do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so anxious that he even scratched his hair with his rough palms.

That's it.

With the psychological shadow of this time, it is estimated that every time Zhu encounters something happy, he can recall the sad memory of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
