The true image of an honest official, the magistrate tried the case, and he was full of domineering. What is the real face of small Shenyang?

In film and television dramas, we often see the image of an honest official: wearing a round official hat, a mandarin jacket and official clothes, and wearing beads around his neck. They look awkward and special, but those big men look arrogant. So what were the officials of the Qing Dynasty like in history? After reading this group of real old photos, you can find the answer: the real image is very different from that in film and television dramas. Especially the big corrupt official Xiao Shenyang in Figure 6, this is his true face.

In ancient times, the county magistrate was usually at a lower level, that is, the legendary "sesame official". But the county magistrate is an official, and ancient people have to bow down when they see an official. I remember that when Qing county magistrate tried a case in a film and television drama, both the plaintiff and the defendant had to kneel and answer. In this photo, the county magistrate is sitting in the hall with dignity, while two people kneeling are too scared to lift their heads. This is a true portrayal of the county magistrate rising to the departmental level at that time.

In the Qing Dynasty, Mongolian officials were basically managed by Qing court officials. But in the picture, it seems that their expressions seem to be dull, their eyes are dull and their expressions are a little numb. However, apart from their own expressions, these people's styles look quite official, and it seems that Guan Wei is not small.

19 1 1 year, the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the Qing Dynasty, which ruled for 267 years, and the Republic of China was founded. One of the three outstanding Beiyang men in the early Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang New Army under his command was extremely effective. However, after the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai simply stole the fruits of the revolution. Later, he started his own feudalism, became a "fake emperor" for 83 days, and finally died of despair. In the photo, he is still wearing the clothing of the new army of Qing Beiyang.

According to historical records, the salaries of officials in the Qing Dynasty were much higher than those in the Ming Dynasty, especially after Yongzheng implemented the system of "keeping the bank clean". To put it bluntly, "yanglianyin" is a high subsidy besides wages, which is usually 10 to 100 times of normal wages. In other words, the bigger the official, the higher the income. For example, if you clear the 1 year-old money, there will be as much as 16200 silver. Moreover, when the imperial envoys or frontier governors of the Qing Dynasty visited the local area, they were full of lofty sentiments, and the pictures truly reproduced the scenes of those big bosses' inspections.

Since the invasion of China by foreign forces in 1840, opium, a harmful thing, has become more prevalent in the whole country, and smoking has almost become a fashion and habit. At that time, the Qing court also encouraged ordinary people to grow opium themselves, so the price of this kind of thing dropped a lot, and even the poor could afford cigarettes. The picture shows the real scene of officials smoking hookah in the late Qing Dynasty.

During the Qianlong period, Little Shenyang seemed to be the most famous darling at that time. Nave has the title of "King of Corruption". According to historical records, he earned a total of 800 million taels of silver, which is equal to the income of the Qing Dynasty 15 years. But after Qianlong's death, Jiaqing immediately executed the main hall, and his extremely rich wealth went into Jiaqing's pocket. In film and television dramas, Xiao Shenyang looks short and fat, and looks very happy. But the official in the photo is the real little Shenyang. Is it different from that on TV?
