Tell Zhang Zhidong's fortune-telling story _ Zhang Zhidong's fortune-telling story

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, what phenomena showed that it was "exhausted"?

At that time, when the Qing Dynasty entered Shanhaiguan, Regent Dourgen escorted the emperor shunzhi Fu Lin, who was only six years old, into Beijing. Walking to Qinglong Bridge in the suburbs of Beijing, I met a blind old man who knew divination and saw a couplet hanging high on his divination booth. Blind people can understand past lives, but they can't handle the situation in marriage? .

Dourgen looked curious and asked:? It is said that troops outside the Commissioner have been stationed. I wonder if they can sit still in the world.

Can sit in the world. ? The blind fortune teller answered affirmatively without thinking.

Dourgen exulted and asked again: How long can I sit?

The blind fortune teller said frankly: From the regent, and lost to the regent; What is obtained from orphans and widows will also be lost. ?

This is a lost word. The Regent is Zai Feng, the father of Xuan Tong Emperor Puyi, and the orphans and widows are Queen Jade Dragon and Xuan Tong Emperor Puyi. Orphans and widows became Yuan Shikai's political tool, and Puyi became the last emperor.

The nearly 300-year rule of the Qing Dynasty is dying, the sun is dying, and the days will run out, just as Zuo Zhuan said: it starts here and ends here. ? After all, the Qing Dynasty could not escape the laws of history.

First, the pillar ministers' despair of the Qing Dynasty.

Since the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty has been faced with a situation that has not happened in 3,000 years, and it is at a loss, with internal and external troubles. The children of the Eight Banners are terrible, playing with birds, eating and drinking, and not fighting. Together with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they swept the world and shook the capital. If it weren't for Zeng Guofan, Zuo, Li Hongzhang and other famous ministers, the Qing Dynasty would have collapsed.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was pacified, Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang actively participated in the Westernization Movement, resulting in a Tongzhi Zhongxing, which was considerable and regarded as one of the western powers. However, in the Sino-Japanese War, a big country was defeated by a small country, Japan. The weakness and exaggeration of the Qing dynasty are undoubtedly exposed.

After the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War, Li Hongzhang reflected sadly: I have been working and training all my life, and the navy is a paper tiger. How can I really let go? I just barely drew it, but it's superficial. I can perfunctory it for a while without showing any traces. For example, a dilapidated house was patched up by a paperhanger and turned into a clean room. I know it is made of paper, but I am not sure what material is inside. Even if there is a little wind and rain, you can make a few holes at any time, or you can prevaricate. To tear with cold hands, there is no preparation for any repair material transformation method. The natural truth is out of control, but how can the paperhanger take responsibility? ?

The Qing dynasty was a broken house, and Li Hongzhang could do nothing about it.

Xuantongyuan year (1909), on the night of August 21st, Zhang Zhidong, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, fell ill. Regent Zai Feng came to visit and comfort Zhang Zhidong. Nave is a loyal country with a good reputation. Take good care of it. ?

After leaving, Zhang Zhidong said to Chen. The national luck is exhausted! ? Two years later, the National Games came to an end.
