What is the purpose of Gan Long's six "incognito private visits" to Jiangnan?

What is the purpose of Gan Long's "traveling incognito" in Jiangnan six times?

The incognito interview? The emperor lived in a familiar palace, bored and idle, and wanted to know about the people's feelings. Looking at the outside world, he had the desire and necessity to go out of the palace in person. There are only two ways for them to go out: to clear the way with gongs, to be dignified on all sides, to avoid silence around, and to go out with great fanfare first; Sneaking out is the second kind. The latter is called "traveling incognito" because emperors or officials travel secretly in civilian clothes, visiting people's feelings or checking difficult and serious cases to hide their identities.

Speaking of traveling incognito, what are Kangxi traveling incognito in TV series? He revenges the people every day and takes time to flirt with beautiful women. There is also a dry dragon in the south of the Yangtze River. I met Mammy Rong by Daming Lake. Forget it, this is probably not reliable. Emperor Kangxi never traveled incognito in his life, and the diligent emperor never left the palace. Gan Long, who likes to travel in the south of the Yangtze River, is a large group of people, neither small nor private, eating and drinking all the way, with great fanfare.

Some people say that "traveling incognito" is actually the emperor going out for fun, because as I said before, life in the palace is actually very boring. Life in the palace is extremely rich, after all, the activity area is limited, and the high palace wall can hardly stop the emperor's curiosity about the outside world. The emperor also understood that home flowers are not as good as wild flowers.

It is undoubtedly nonsense and pure fantasy that the Emperor Xiaoxing, who plays in Kangxi's Private Visit, can solve problems for the people. Those emperors who want to sneak around incognito only want to visit Yanliuhua Lane incognito, and when patrolling aboveboard, it is more realistic to take three or five followers to the folk to hunt for sex.

Emperor Kangxi may not have traveled incognito, but he is indeed one of the emperors who visited the society most and understood the people's feelings most in the history of China. The admonition of Emperor Sheng Zuren belongs to the category of "saving the Party", which records some imperial edicts of Emperor Kangxi about patrolling and shows the administrative characteristics of Emperor Kangxi. This side of the province is to inspect the four sides.

Emperor Kangxi's inspection of places did not delay his work. For example, in the twenty-third year of Kangxi's first southern tour, it was stipulated that the memorial should be sent every three days. Sometimes the cabinet comes late, and he has to read late into the night.

Li Hong's most popular is six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, which can be reflected in today's TV series. Jiangnan is the birthplace of the Ming Dynasty, and the local residents are the most supportive of the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing army entered the customs, the resistance was the fiercest and the slaughter was the worst. Jiangnan developed economically, and most of the wealth of the imperial court came from this, so Kangxi Qianlong used Jiangnan to strengthen ties with landlords and gentry in order to consolidate his rule.

However, compared with Kangxi, Qianlong's purpose of enjoying Jiangnan was greatly increased. Emperor Kangxi's six southern tours were all without pomp. "All the inauguration palaces have been inspected without painting, and the cost of each place is only120,000 yuan. Compared with the annual cost of river workers, it is more than 3 million, less than 1%. "

The southern tour of Qianlong began at 175 1 and ended at 1784, which lasted for 33 years. Among them, the first four times brought Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Dowager Cixi and many concubines to mobilize the masses, accompanied by more than 2,500 princes and officials of Zhang Jing's Guards, and more than 1000 ships were patrolling, end to end, and flags were flying. Before each southern tour, there are careful plans to send officials to survey the roads along the way, build bridges and pave the way, and repair the palace. All kinds of personnel and ships should avoid in advance and send troops to guard along the way.

Some people think that the purpose of six trips to the south of the Yangtze River is to "enjoy the south of the Yangtze River and take advantage of the situation to travel south". Does it really match the jokes in the TV series? Actually, it's not. In fact, some ministers at that time also thought so. For example, at that time, some people were urging the emperor not to go to Soyole next year, because "Soyole is not a scenic spot in Jiangsu and Zhejiang". Gan Long, who boasted that he was mainly working in the south, was greatly annoyed and retorted, "This sentence of yours is ridiculous!

There is also a saying that Qianlong went to Jiangnan to find out his life experience. Gan Long's southern tour often turns around after going to Hangzhou, but he just wants to go to Haining. From the third southern tour, Gan Long lived in the home of Chen Bang, the son of Chen Yuanlong in Haining, and went to the church to inquire about his family background in detail. According to legend, Ganlong was born in the Chen family of Haining. Prince Yong replaced his daughter with the son of the Chen family, who was the later emperor Qianlong.

Most people think that the purpose of Qianlong's southern tour is not single. His activities in Jiangnan include not only visiting places of interest, but also paying attention to social, political, economic and other national events.
