Hello everyone, this is Mad Cow Love the World
Looking through history
Speaking of famous generals in ancient China
It can be said
Every dynasty has its famous generals
Such as Huo Qubing, the Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty
Li Jing of Tang Dynasty
Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty, Xu Da of the Ming Dynasty, etc.
They are all well-known generals
The Qing Dynasty became the last unified feudal dynasty
There are also many famous generals
Such as Dorgon Dodo Haug
Nian Gengyao, Zhong Qi, Fukang An Agui
Zuo Zongtang, Feng Zicai, etc.
They can all be called famous generals
But relatively speaking
The Qing Dynasty always gives people a feeling of unknown generals
The influence of famous generals is also almost the same
What's going on?
Let’s talk about it in detail today

Generally speaking
Famous generals are also divided into different levels of influence.
Those famous generals
Often appear in three time periods
First, the founding period of the dynasty
This is the period when famous generals are most likely to appear.
And it’s an era when famous generals abound.
Such as Xu Da who emerged during the founding of the Ming Dynasty
Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Mu Ying and other famous generals
The second is the pioneering period when the dynasty made rapid progress.
Such as the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty
Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty,
But during his reign, he attacked the Huns in the north
Nanping Baiyue
Collect the Western Regions from the West
East to Lelang County and Xuantu County
Zhenfan County, Lintun County, etc.
Expanding the territory of the Han Dynasty to its peak
therefore
Naturally, famous generals such as Confucian scholars, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing appeared.
The end of the Third Dynasty
Because of years of war
Naturally, many famous generals emerged
Such as the famous general Kuokuo Temuer and Wang Baobao in the late Yuan Dynasty
There are also famous generals in the late Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, etc.
Refer to the above three points
The emergence of famous generals often requires times to create heroes.
And it's obvious
Due to various reasons on these three points, the Qing Dynasty
Because of the influence of famous generals
They are all worse than other dynasties.
Next, we will analyze it in three steps.
The family is the founder of the country
People only remember the founding kings
rather than simply attributed to famous generals
First of all, let’s talk about the founding period of the People’s Republic of China
Such as Dorgon Dodo Haug, etc.
They can all be said to be famous generals
Dorgon was the first hero of the Qing Dynasty to enter the Pass.
Take the Battle of Shanhaiguan as an example.
It’s the alliance with Wu Sangui
Unexpectedly defeated Li Zicheng, who was at the height of his power at that time.
It laid the foundation for the smooth entry of the Qing Dynasty
Duoduo led the army directly south
Defeated the most powerful Hongguang regime in Nanming
Hauge defeated Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime.
Qing Taizu Nurhaci and Qing Taizong Huang Taiji
They were all emperors with both civil and military power.
Such as Nurhaci in the Battle of Sarhu
Defeat the Ming Dynasty army with less and more
To enable the Hou Jin regime to gain a firm foothold
During the reign of Huang Taiji
Conquests in the north and south
Surrendered the Mongolian tribes and Korea
He even led the army to detour into the Pass on many occasions.
Once hit Beijing
In terms of martial arts
These two emperors in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China
It is also not inferior to the level of famous generals
But looking at the founding of the Qing Dynasty
You will find an interesting situation
That is the founding of the Qing Dynasty was different from other dynasties
It can be said that the family founded the country
The history of the Qing Dynasty was Nurhaci
There are also more than a dozen of his sons and grandchildren
Conquering the world in southern and northern wars
So when it comes to famous generals such as the dwarf Dorgon Duoduo,
People must be subconsciously
Attribute him to the category of vassal king
Rather than a famous general
So it is precisely because the Qing Dynasty was founded by a family
Therefore, many vassal kings with great military exploits
People will always only remember him as the feudal king
rather than a famous general
Unknowingly
It is equivalent to weakening these feudal kings.
The presence and influence of famous generals
A period of rapid progress during the Second Dynasty
Continue for more than 100
Year is too long
Let’s talk about the period of rapid advancement of the dynasty
The separatist regime of the Qing Dynasty from outside the Pass
Transition to a unified government
It will then become a super empire covering more than 13 million square kilometers.
It is not covered by entry into the customs during the Shunzhi period.
Shunzhi period
It was just a critical period for the Qing Dynasty to become a unified regime.
It’s equivalent to the founding period of the People’s Republic of China
Doesn’t mean the period of rapid progress is over
After the Shunzhi period
The expansion of the Qing Dynasty did not actually stop
such as northwest
The continuous war between the Junggar Khanate and the Qing Dynasty
It lasted from the Kangxi period to the Qianlong period
The process of war is also the process of opening up territories.
This kind of persistence
And the process of opening up territories is not small in scale.
Until the later period of Emperor Qianlong's reign
It ended with the Qing Dynasty reaching its peak.
During this period
Naturally, there are people such as Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi.
Fukang'an Agui and other famous generals
But here's the key
Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty
More than 100 years from the Kangxi period to the Qianlong period
Although we have been expanding our territory
Although the scale is not small
But there are two factors
Objectively speaking, these famous players have less influence.
Comparison with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
First of all, time
The Western Han Dynasty can be said to be during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Territory expanded to the maximum
Although the Western Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
Reaching the pinnacle in all aspects
Such as setting up the Western Region Protectorate
It is to bring the Western Regions into the territory
But what I have to admit is that
This is all based on the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
The result of opening up new territory and expanding territory comes naturally
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, speaking directly from the Western Han Dynasty
His reign was nothing short of earth-shaking.
The most rapid progress is to open up new territories and expand territory.
Therefore, the move of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was mentioned
Naturally, we have to mention the martial arts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
And the highest martial arts
Naturally, it means there are many battles with great impact
And the corresponding famous generals naturally exist
The feeling was very high and the Qing Dynasty expanded its territory to its peak.
Although Kangxi and Yongzheng
During the period of Emperor Qianlong, there was an act of opening up territories.
Especially during the period of Emperor Qianlong
The scale was quite large
But more than 100 years
The timeline is quite scattered.
For example, people talk about the Kangxi period
Not necessarily talking about martial arts
I tend to prefer the history of "Nine Characters to Seize the Directed Son"
Speaking of Emperor Qianlong
People often talk about his governance
Expanding territory is not the point
Even talking about these famous generals
If we talk about famous generals such as Huo Qubing and Li Jing,
He will definitely mention his illustrious military exploits
But if we talk about the Qing Dynasty
Two famous generals such as Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi
Obviously, he doesn’t necessarily talk about martial arts.
but focus on other aspects
Such as the grievances between Emperor Yongzheng and Nian Gengyao
Fall in love and kill each other
Death of Nian Gengyao
Is it because of Feiyang's domineering attitude or because he is a dog-eat-dog?
And Yue Zhongqi was detained by Emperor Yongzheng
Is it because Emperor Yongzheng did it for Emperor Qianlong after he succeeded to the throne?
Let him show it out boldly to win over people's hearts and pave the way for it.
And it has reached its peak territory after more than 100 years
Compared with the concentrated martial arts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty,
In terms of martial arts, it is relatively scattered.
The influence of famous generals is naturally low
In summary, the territory of the Qing Dynasty expanded by leaps and bounds.
Lasted for more than 100 years
too long
timeline scattered
Relatively speaking, martial arts is not very obvious.
Also, it takes too long
It means that it is not like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Yizhao
Earth-shaking changes
It’s accumulated step by step
The influence of famous generals is naturally slightly less
The late Three Qing Dynasties were too humiliating
The late Qing Dynasty encountered a situation that had remained unchanged for 13 thousand years.
In addition, discrimination leads to complacency and even looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
So the Qing Dynasty faced the Western powers
It's extremely humiliating
Everyone must know this
Against the backdrop of such humiliating times
famous general
Especially famous generals who cannot change the fundamental situation
Naturally less influential
A famous general like the dwarf Feng Zicai
in such an era
It is also covered with a layer of dim light
And figures like the dwarf Zuo Zongtang
It is more similar to a late Qing Dynasty with both civil and military skills.
important minister
Positioning can no longer be summarized simply by famous generals.
In conclusion
There were famous generals in the Qing Dynasty
And there are still many
But compared to other dynasties, the influence is
Slightly worse
As for why this is so
It’s because it’s easiest for famous generals to appear
And there are famous generals with great influence.
three periods
For various reasons, the Qing Dynasty
Reduce the influence of its famous generals
In other words, the famous general’s other identity shines brighter
For example, the founding kings of the Qing Dynasty had many famous generals
But what people remember more is their status as feudal lords.
so
The influence of famous generals in the Qing Dynasty is slightly lower than that of other dynasties
therefore
Naturally, it gives many people the feeling of being an unknown general in the Qing Dynasty.
Okay, that’s it for this episode.
I don’t know what everyone thinks.
