I think Yongzheng...when he took over Kangxi, the treasury was almost empty as Kangxi spent lavishly and was fighting many wars. Kangxi reigned for 60 years....

Because of betrayal by Wang Sangui and internal rebellions.

Ming Dynasty was falling apart, the citizens already not happy with the Ming Emperor.

and this Ming Emperor also don't know how to use his Generals.

This Wu Sangui opened the doors for the Manchu because his beloved concubine Chen Yuan Yuan was taken by Li Zhicheng and this Wu Sangui do not want Li Zhicheng to be emperor.

Moreover, Prince Regent Dorgon promised a Prince position for Wu Sangui. So why not? Why he still tight for Ming?? He opened the door to Qing and can be a 王爷。

for me, the worst emperor is qian long.. he had a good n stable foundation, sit for a good sixty years.. n the best part is, qing denasty start a dramatic decline after him.. really wonder what did he do for that sixty years?

This emperor enjoyed peace and prosperity for a long long time and he become complacent... Qua long has plenty of women, no doubt he is a good emperor groomed by his grandfather from the start.

but what he was not aware was that Europe and russia were getting strong, his time was a time for industrialisation for Europe, during his reign, Europe came up with the steam ship, the trains, guns, cannons and this Qianlong still thought that China was still the most powerful country in the world with his eight banners methodlogy and he think no one can win China...

That was why it kept falling apart, u think lah, ppl use steam ship and train t do business, china still using sampan and horse carriage. Who make more money?? Money makes the world go round..

fm mongolia to almost everywhere, due to genghis khan..

for that alone, they should really be the amazing race on this earth..

n no matter how many horses they had, they can only rid 1 horse at a time..

I watched the history of Genghis Khan.

he was the son of a tribal leader bu his father was poisoned to death by a rival tribe. Then his tribal uncles left his family and he was the sole breadwinner for his family. He slowly built up a tribe again and from there, he unified all of the tribes in Mongolia and became Khan. He had a lot of setbacks to and was once captured by the xixia people...

the thing about Genghis khan is he was open, open to all kinds of things, he embraced all kinds of religion and invited many talents to work with him, therefore, he started his quest on Middle East, Europe and china...

I watched the history of Genghis Khan.

u watch the drama show of genghis khan? i watch that many times.. i also buy a few times.. very nice.. when compare to sg, taiwan, korea or hongkong, all consider time wasting trash..

beside, genghis not capture by xixia.. capture around 16 years old by one of his father sub-tribe.. tai chi wu ren.. lucky he escape to create the legend of the greatest conqueror of all time, from a very small base..

But because is so huge, it become a city within a city........

Sam.seah SG

I like forbidden city.. When I went china, I tot to myself, how the fxxk did they build all those Great Wall and palace without today's technology??? They have my admiration...

forbiddencity was built by Ming yongle emperor... He restored the Great Wall too... Really engineering feat at that time...

Sam.seah SG

It took many years to built this City......

Can't remember how many years, can go google lor.......

Ming Dynasty don't use their base in Beijing.......

When Qing rule, your YongLe move the base to Beijing........and start building his dream palace.......

Actually all the structure in Forbidden City not high tech lor, the amazing part is how they deliver all those raw materials those time lor.......

why those area still not open for public? because historian still trying to salvage them, those area open up 1, took them many years to restore also.......

tia gong PuYi left Forbidden that year, the place was almost like a junk castle.......

I am very very interested in the Qing dynasty and Mongol Yuan dynasty too.

y so, because I am amazed how a minority nomadic tribe can conquer and rule over China...

they ruled more than china alone...they went into europe and middle east
