The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"If this challenge could invite people from other eras, Xiang Ji, would you be willing to turn hostility into friendship with me?"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bang made the suggestion.

Since we can't refute it, let's join in!

Unfortunately, if this review were to be truly challenging, he genuinely wasn't confident.

Whether you're with Han Xin or Zhang Liang, you'll face the risk of being unable to cook without rice.

The Qing dynasty went too far. The most basic prerequisite for an uprising and rebellion to attract people to join them was that they had to be completely powerless and unarmed, yet still manage to break through the county government and defeat the soldiers guarding the granary.

Is he more capable, or is Han Xin more capable?

If they had soldiers under their command, the Manchus would be nothing more than clay chickens and earthen dogs in their eyes; but they had no soldiers, no generals, and not even food.

Perhaps they themselves are just clay chickens and clay dogs...

"Bah! Let alone whether this assessment will be challenging or not, even if it is, I would never agree to join forces with a despicable person like you!"

Xiang Yu cursed without hesitation.

After reading countless reviews and evaluations of Liu Bang by later generations and immortals, he has probably accepted the fact that Liu Bang was a wise ruler.

Accepting this doesn't mean he can accept Liu Bang as a person.

As former close friends, they turned against each other without hesitation after signing the Chu-Han border alliance.

If it were anyone in his position, it would be difficult for them to say that they would forgive and forget.

Saying it was a backlash from the people who had been suppressed to the extreme might not be entirely accurate.

After all, from the founding of the Qing Dynasty to its actual demise, there were hundreds of peasant uprisings!

It can be said that from beginning to end, neither the common people of the Central Plains nor the wealthy gentry ever gave up their desire to resist.

The Qing Dynasty was unique in that it could unite the goals of ordinary people and wealthy gentry in such a way!

However, due to the Qing Dynasty's national strength and their exploitation of the people as if they were animals.

For a long time, even though uprisings never ceased, it must be admitted that few real threats ever materialized.

During the first half of the Qing Dynasty's rule, the various rebel armies' real role was perhaps simply to prolong the Qing Dynasty's unification process.

The real threat from the rebel army began when the Qing Dynasty's policy of isolationism was ruthlessly shattered.

Foreign enemies used the cannons that the Qing Dynasty was once most proud of to blast open the gates that the Qing Dynasty had locked.

At that moment, the Manchu slave owners finally understood something.

It's not that if they cover their ears and close their eyes, the external enemy will disappear.

On the contrary, during the time they closed their eyes, everyone was developing rapidly.

The firearms and cannons they inherited from the Ming Dynasty were once their pride, but now they are nothing more than a pile of scrap metal to those powerful foreign enemies!

When the first enemy dared to fire the first shot at a once-dominant superpower without paying any price, and even gained endless benefits as a result.

Next, countless jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards, drawn by the scent, came rushing in!

"Although we know that the rebel army will only have a chance when there are many external enemies and not enough spare resources to suppress internal rebellions, but..."

"But such a situation is far too hopeless."

Old Zhu looked away with some reluctance.

How suffocating must it have been for those rebels at that time?

Above the enemy, there is an even stronger enemy.

Even if they were able to overthrow the Qing dynasty, it would be far from the end.

After the Manchu Qing dynasty, there were even more ferocious wolves and tigers lurking around.

"Just take the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty as an example. At that time, how many people dared to even think about it? Weren't most people just thinking about having enough to eat?"

"Not to mention, after overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, we still had to face those wolves who could easily penetrate the Qing defenses."

"The situation they faced was completely different from what we faced back then."

"Whether it was the Chu-Han Contention at the end of the Qin Dynasty or the Warring States Period at the end of the Han Dynasty, it all boiled down to the end of a dynasty and the rise of many heroes."

"But the chaos in the Qing Dynasty is such that even before the dynasty has come to an end, a pack of jackals are already eager to devour it!"

They not only had to fight against the suppression of the Manchu Qing dynasty, but they also had to compete with those incredibly powerful jackals for food!

Let alone the common people at the bottom of the Qing Dynasty who couldn't even afford to eat, even Zhao Kuangyin felt that it was indeed too difficult to ascend to heaven!

If someone could truly end this chaos, what kind of hero would they be?

Even Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Gaozu of Han probably didn't have this kind of ability!

Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan drama, and Ming novels are products that emerged when the culture of each dynasty reached its peak.

During the Qing Dynasty, due to the forced hair-shaving and clothing reforms and the rampant literary inquisitions, the people's minds were completely imprisoned, and no useful things were developed in terms of culture.

The only works that can represent them are probably treaties.

Since its founding, the Qing Dynasty's humiliating treaties with other countries, spanning a vast period and encompassing a wide variety of types, have become its most typical representative works!

"..."

"I suddenly have a bad feeling."

"Could it be like my Great Song Dynasty?"

"They could have won, but they chose to retreat again and again, afraid to fight back?"

The words on the sky gave Zhao Kuangyin a sense of familiarity.

“Zhao Heizi, I also have a bad feeling. Your Great Song is so cowardly, all you know is to negotiate peace, but you still haven’t been singled out for criticism.”

"It's easy to imagine just how pathetic the Qing Dynasty was, given that the immortal singled out the treaty for mention."

"To put it simply, I feel that the number of humiliating peace treaties they signed was roughly twice as many as that of your Zhao Song dynasty!"

Old Zhu made too many guesses.

If it weren't doubled, it wouldn't be brought up in the first place.

"Old Zhao, don't overthink it. This is different from your Zhao Song dynasty."

"Your Zhao Song dynasty clearly has the ability to win, yet you still firmly want to seek peace, but it seems that they are simply no match for them."

"Compared to that, you are clearly much stronger."

"However, on this quantity, I agree with Old Zhu's view."

"Once the principles of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame are lost, things will gradually become more and more unscrupulous."

"Once the first clause is signed, signing each subsequent treaty will be much easier and less stressful."

Li Er agreed with Lao Zhu's guess.

But clearly, the actual number is far greater than they guessed!

Throughout the Qing Dynasty, it signed thousands of treaties with various countries.

They paid billions of taels of silver in reparations and ceded millions of square kilometers of land as a result of these treaties.

They have completely lost all sense of shame.

There was even the bizarre sight of the Qing court joining forces with foreign enemies to suppress the rebel army!

Only when foreign enemies appeared did the rebel army have the opportunity to overthrow the dynasty.

But it was precisely at the moment the external enemy appeared that the chilling despair truly arrived.
