FIRST OPIUM WAR : • THE FIRST OPIUM WAR EX...
As the Qing dynasty continued to decline after the first opium war, the reins of the crumbling empire were passed unto 18 year old prince Yizhu, who would be crowned as emperor Xianfeng. His rule, that would see the rise of multitudes of revolts including the Taiping rebellion, Nian rebellion and Panthay rebellion, and the second opium war, would bring china from a tenuous position, to near collapse.

Emperor Daoguang made a bad choice when he picked Xianfeng as his successor. I've read Stephen R. Platts book, 'Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom. China, the West, and the epic story of the Taiping civil war'. And according to the author, when Daoguang secretly selected his successor, he asked each of his two favorite sons (Gong and Xianfeng) what they would do if they ascended the throne. Gong said that he would initiate a series of political reforms and improve China technological backwardness, improve diplomatic relationships with the West, and modernize China. Xianfeng on the other hand, went down on his knees and cried that it meant that his father had died. In Daoguangs mind, this act proved that Xianfeng was the most filial of the two, and therefore selected him to be his successor. If only he knew how illsuited Xianfeng were.

His indulgence in late reign was regarded as a "chronic suicide" by Qi Gong, one of Qing's royal family descendents. He did all he could, and gave up struggling at the end. As an emperor he was unable to suicide, so he sought this way, broken and disillusioned, at sunset of the empire.

Great video! easy to understand, not too long and very well put together. Do you think emperor Xianfeng would have gotten the same outcome even without the western/opium influence because of the amount of corruption, distrust in the officials around the country, as well as uprising in Han Chinese nationalism and declining quality of the different armies/warlords around the country? It seems like the country was asking for a late industrial revolution.

@History_of_China 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment ! The country was already in a bad state without the Western influence after Qianlong's rule, regarding corruption, public opinion, and decline of administration. Xianfeng proved unfit to adequately rule even before the Second Opium War broke out. While this event precipitated his death, I'm not sure he could have smoothly solved the issue of corruption, rebellions etc. had he lived for another couple of decades. In my opinion, his brother Yixin/Prince Gong would have made a far better ruler in general, as he seemed truly interested in politics and in the welfare of his country, and dare I say braver and smarter than Xianfeng. That being said, had Xianfeng had prior political experience and more time to prepare before ascending to the throne, he might have done better in his reign

Tbf, it looks like most in the court didn't, and would never truly. Considering the 100 days reform unfortunately failed around 1896-1898 and Cixi had enough popular support to take back control along with the other ultra conservatives, clearly shows how tone deaf they were... Then they put Puyi, a 2 year old, on the throne, and only by like the last year or two, do they suddenly decide to make some sort of constitutional representation (and even then, it was heavily stacked) There's a good reason, much of global feudalism and monarchy came crashing down in the modern age

Also the Grand Canal, which brought rice to the North, silted up. The results were devastating, and millions starved or died in the floods.

I assume they looted quite a bit, and that those pieces were therefore spared, but a trove of imperial pieces must have been destroyed, as well. Thanks!

@History_of_China 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! From my knowledge, most of what was lost was looted rather than destroyed. Soldiers and officers were eager to get their hands on treasures to keep/sell back in Europe. It's however undeniable that a portion of the artifacts were destroyed (probably more so with books than vases and paintings), either deliberately or in the chaos of the pillage. I don't think there are many (any?) sources on this precise matter, though.

Read about the Arrow incident in Broomhall's long biography of Hudson Taylor recently, and got the impression that the British were pretty high-handed - it had been a pirate ship before as you say, so the Chinese response was eminently understandable. Were the British angling for another war to open up more ports?

I wouldn't call them incompetent per se (at least the emperors after Daoguang). It's just that East Asia weren't exposed to the Industrial Revolution happening in the West and were left behind technologically speaking. And due to vast distances between Asia and Europe/Western Hemisphere, the Qing, like the Tokugawa (Japan) didn't understand just how inferior they've become or the rapid change in the balance of power across the world. By this point in time, the Qing imperial system has become antiquated and deeply corrupt that it was just impossible for any emperor to change the tide. The only thing you can blame them for is their stubborn ignorance and refusal to modernize quickly which Meiji era Japan did.

According to the death tolls too, the sum total of what all these rebellions caused in terms of casualties, throughout the span of each rebellion was MINIMUM 56.67 MILLION deaths... (and according to wiki the Red Turban Revolt has unknown death toll) If we're going by the maximum, especially for the very hard to calculate Taiping Rebellion, that's ANOTHER 20 MILLION stacked on... Putting that up to 76.67 million, barely 4 million under the total overall death toll of the Second World War... Even with the minimum though, that's 16 million more deaths than the overall death toll of WWI, and almost THREE QUARTERS of the overall death toll of WWII... This is also largely just the start of the century of humiliation too The Taiping Rebellion is the bloodiest Rebellion in human history, and ALONE is about the 3rd or so worst conflict by death toll in human history. China in this century of humiliation would also face the worst human made famine in human history too (Great Chinese Famine, as a result of Mao's GLF)

This video makes out like the west caused all the problems because of greed. I agree that greed had a lot to do with it. The narrator doesn’t take into account the totalitarian regime of the emperor. I’m sure that the emperor and his wealthy elites would love to have continued with their reign and control of the country. However, sooner or later the people of China would have learned that the emperor was not a demigod and that they deserved better lives than to just be subjects of those aforementioned. I’m NOT condoning what England and France did. Especially the the evil East India Trading Company. I’m just saying that the narrator seems to completely demonize the west when their own people are the ones who started the uprisings.
