The short videos I watched from all dynasties

Li Ranran was very happy slacking off at work during the day, but only remembered in the evening that there was still one last episode that she hadn't watched.

So I opened the 13-station video and looked through the records.

【Hello everyone, I am Xining. Since the first issue, many people have been discussing ethnic issues, so today I will also talk about "ethnic issues" with you.

Continuing from the Opium War we talked about in the last issue, for the common people at that time it was just a matter of paying taxes to whoever was the emperor. As long as any change of dynasty did not affect their immediate interests, they would submit to it.

So it made no difference who ruled them, whether it was the Qing Dynasty or foreigners. In the subsequent wars of aggression by foreign powers, the attitude of the vast majority of the people was to watch the fun.

After the Opium War, the Qing government did not learn the lessons of its failure in the war and began to rely on Britain, France and other countries to deal with the Taiping Rebellion and the Nian Rebellion in the country.

Two ethnic conflicts are intertwined - the conflict between the minority rulers and the oppressed people of all ethnic groups, and the conflict between the Chinese nation as a whole and foreign colonial invaders.

At this time, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty could no longer ease the ethnic conflicts at home, nor were they able to resist the invasion of foreign invaders.

What will truly awaken our national consciousness is the modern "Anti-Japanese War". In modern times, nationalism and patriotism have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so we can unite all the forces that can be united to create an unprecedented magnificent history.

[The nation comes from the formation of the concept of great unity. Qin Shihuang unified China and established feudal centralization, which made the concept of great unity appear in people's minds for the first time. The subsequent Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and continued to make the concept of great unity deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The Han Dynasty made use of the leaders of ethnic minorities, who could be granted titles of nobility and be appointed as officials. This measure strengthened the economic and cultural exchanges between the Huaxia people and ethnic minorities, enhanced the understanding between the various ethnic groups, and further strengthened the internal ties of the multi-ethnic country.

The rulers of the Tang Dynasty overcame the narrow-mindedness of ethnic superiority and inferiority, respected the personalities and customs of ethnic minorities, and adopted appeasement and control as their frontier policy, which led to unprecedented prosperity during the period.

The Yuan Dynasty was of great significance in the history of my country's unified multi-ethnic country. It not only promoted the formation and consolidation of my country's borders, but also initially laid the foundation for the largest scale of China's territory.

The Ming Dynasty summed up the lessons of the Yuan Dynasty. Their Han chauvinism and ethnic discrimination were relatively weak. They believed that "all those covered by the sky and carried by the earth are my children. There is no distinction between them."

The territory of the Qing Dynasty laid the foundation for the territory of today's unified multi-ethnic country of my country, further consolidated and developed the unified multi-ethnic country of my country, and made important contributions to the formation of the modern Chinese nation.

Our civilization has had both the Han and Tang dynasties dominated by the Han people, as well as the Mongol Yuan Empire and the Qing Dynasty where ethnic minorities ruled the Central Plains.

【In the 1911 Revolution of , Sun Yat-sen advocated the bourgeois democratic revolution to "expel the Tartars and restore China". He took it as his mission to overthrow the Manchu feudal dynasty dominated by ethnic minorities. The Republic of China wrote the "Five-race Republic" (Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan) into the new constitution.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, ethnic regional autonomy was implemented, and ethnic autonomous regions of different administrative levels were established according to the different situations of ethnic minority settlements.

＜Every dynasty in our history has its own value. I hope everyone will not fall into dynasty worship＞

＜ Let me mention that the Qing Dynasty completely integrated Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, and Liaodong into China's territory, establishing a modern unified multi-ethnic country. ＞

＜You can hate Qing, but you can’t deny Qing.＞

＜In fact, we can talk about the chieftain system and the reform of chieftains.＞

＜ To be honest, the economic and cultural prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was inseparable from its own tolerance and openness. ＞

＜After reading about why the Soviet Union collapsed, one of the reasons was that it failed to properly handle ethnic conflicts. It is not advisable to engage in Great Russianism and discriminate against other ethnic groups＞

＜One can polish jade with stones from other mountains.＞

＜ Why not mention the Song Dynasty? Because the Song Dynasty adopted a policy of seeking peace with ethnic minorities [dog head]＞

＜ Bold! That's the annual tribute! For peace ＞

＜After the unification of ethnic minorities, the integration among ethnic groups has developed further.＞

＜Outer Mongolia, Outer Northeast, Outer Xinjiang…from more than 1300 million before the Opium War to 960 million＞

＜ After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the border areas were actually not stable at all. Xinjiang, Mongolia and Manchuria all wanted independence, but in the end, only Outer Mongolia became independent ＞

＜ After thousands of years of ethnic integration, it is ridiculous to talk about bloodline or something like that now… ＞

……

The 29th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang

Emperor Qin Shi Huang, who was just beginning his third eastern tour, was trying hard to digest the information revealed by the light curtain in recent issues.

"What does the Prime Minister think of this?"

Li Si got a clue from the light curtain. "Mencius said that if you win the world in a proper way and win the people, you will win the world. If you win the people in a proper way and win their hearts, you will win the people."

“Now it seems that the key to the world lies in the people’s hearts.” Li Si wrote “people’s hearts” on the desk with tea.

Ying Zheng looked at the words "people's hearts" in silence.

I also thought about the governance of ethnic minorities in the future by the Han and Tang dynasties. Although the Qin dynasty cannot directly achieve the same level of governance as China a thousand years later, it is not impossible to apply the methods of other dynasties...

"The Huns have to be beaten hard before they surrender." After Ying Zheng had a plan in mind, he sent an envoy to Meng Tian.

Han Dynasty, the fourth year of Yuanshou

Chang'an was extremely lively. Before this, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing each led 50,000 cavalry and marched towards Mobei in two routes.

In this battle, Wei Qing defeated the Xiongnu and captured more than 19,000 people. Huo Qubing even sealed the Wolf's Lair, climbed the Hanhai, and carved a stone to record his achievements. Some of the Xiongnu were defeated and surrendered, while others moved further west.

From then on, there was peace both inside and outside the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che was very happy when he saw the battle report about Huo Qubing from the front line.

"My Champion Marquis! The ever-victorious general of the Han Dynasty!"

Because of his victory, Liu Che also had other new problems, that is, how to solve border and ethnic issues.

Now that the light curtain mentioned the method of the future dynasty, Liu Che also changed his thinking.

Song Dynasty, Qiande 6th year

You Buque Wang Ming was the transport commissioner of Jinghu and was preparing supplies for the expedition against Southern Han.

Originally, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to directly persuade Southern Han to surrender, but the Southern Han emperor Liu Yan refused.

Zhao Kuangyin was puzzled that Liu Yan was a tyrant and a weak ruler, incompetent and licentious. Under his rule, taxes were harsh, people lived in poverty, and the government was corrupt and dark. Even so, he was unwilling to surrender.

At this time, the Southern Han

Emperor Liu Xuan looked at the military officer in front of him in horror, then turned to the eunuch angrily and said, "How dare you, you villains, betray me!"

Since Tianmu said that Song Dynasty finally unified the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, other officials under various separatist regimes had their own plans.

If the emperor is a man who loves his people like his own children, then everyone is willing to continue to die for him. If the emperor is a man who has committed many evil deeds like Liu Xun, then don’t blame others…

The officials, both big and small, did not answer Liu Xiong's words, but directly attacked him physically. After being beaten for a while, Liu Xiong finally stopped shouting.

Yuan Dynasty - 22nd year of Zhiyuan

In recent years, Kublai Khan has become more conservative politically, resulting in a conflict between Prince Zhenjin, the leader of the Han-French faction, and Ahama, the financial management faction.

Prince Zhenjin opposed Ahama's harsh and tyrannical rule, and Ahama was also afraid of Prince Zhenjin. He was always thinking about how to make Prince Zhenjin lose the favor of Emperor Kublai Khan.

And the timing just happened to be right.

The Southern Court Censor petitioned the elderly Kublai Khan to abdicate the throne to Crown Prince Zhenjin.

Kublai was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Although the remnants of Ahama were sentenced to death for corruption, Prince Zhenjin became ill.

Kublai Khan has recently been reviewing previous videos on the screen, trying to figure out how to resolve the Yuan Dynasty's internal problems and how to avoid a national destiny that would last less than a hundred years.

Note: In real history, Li Guang died in the war against the Huns in the fourth year of Yuanshou, and was removed by the butterfly in this interface.
