Before the Qing Dynasty, China, as a big country in the East, dominated the world for thousands of years. Both the "Silk Road" initiated by the Han Dynasty and the feat of "Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean" in the Ming Dynasty fully demonstrated China's great country demeanor. At that time, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries were still in what we call a "barbarian" stage in China.

But in the Qing Dynasty, only after Kanggan flourished, it declined rapidly until it became extinct.

The so-called success is Xiao He and failure is me. The Qing Dynasty was really strong in the hands of Kangxi for a while, but Kangxi was the turning point of the decline of the Qing Dynasty. One of them has to be said, that is, Dai Zi, a firearms expert in Qing Dynasty.

Dai Zi was born in the sixth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty in Renhe, Zhejiang. According to historical records, this man is knowledgeable, proficient in the art of war and good at using firearms. He is a rare expert in firearms. Why do you say that?

That's because Kangxi was able to pacify all directions, almost all of which were firearms and cannons developed by this man. The military strength of the Qing dynasty frightened the enemy. Kangxi, a famous emperor in history, put down the "San Francisco Rebellion" because of Dai Li's "Julian Porcelain".

However, it was such a minister who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty many times, but he was finally killed by the good-looking Kangxi. He was supposed to be an outstanding military engineer who developed advanced weapons for the country, but he was eventually hired by Kangxi as an academician to write books and make a statement, and made a producer of royal firearms for Kangxi.

At this time, the west is constantly developing. Influenced by Kyle Poirot, they have always heard that China in the East is full of jewels and wealth. These newly developed European countries all wanted to profit from China, so they sent envoys to inquire about the military situation of the Qing Dynasty.

At first, a Dutch envoy presented Kangxi with a "shotgun" and showed the most advanced weapons in the Netherlands on the spot.

When Kangxi saw it, he said to the Dutch messenger, "This is more common in our Qing Dynasty. In a few days, I will send you 10. " Just as the Dutch envoy was leaving the palace, Kangxi called Dai Zi and ordered him to finish copying 10 in two days.

Two days later, Kangxi handed over 10 "shotguns" to the Dutch envoy, who was greatly surprised and thought that the Qing Dynasty was too powerful. Then the messengers of Spain and Portugal. They paid tribute to Kangxi's advanced "French machine" artillery.

Good-faced Kangxi decided to humiliate them and let Dai Zi imitate them in five days. Sure enough, Dai Zi imitated the "Fleming Machine" and stunned the messenger.

1687, Ferdinand ferdinand verbiest, a Belgian missionary, summoned Kangxi to show off in front of him, saying that his country had invented the most advanced "celestial cannon" in the world, and only the Belgians could make it. Kangxi was definitely unconvinced, because he had never seen a real gun, so Kangxi ordered Ferdinand ferdinand verbiest to build one, but it was never built in a year.

Kangxi ordered Dai Zi to copy. As a result, it took only 8 days to make it, and its power was amazing. "The child is in the mother's belly, and the mother sends the child out and falls from the sky. The fragments are broken and too sharp. " Kangxi was very happy to see it and named it "Weiyuan General Gun". As soon as this gun came out, it greatly strengthened the military strength of the Qing Dynasty.

At this moment, Ferdinand ferdinand verbiest lost all his face, held a grudge against Dai Zi, and decided to get rid of this formidable gun expert.

Later, after careful planning, Ferdinand ferdinand verbiest framed Dai Zi for collaborating with the enemy, and Kangxi was now old. He exiled Dai Zi for more than 30 years, and died soon after he came back from poverty at the age of 77.

Later, Britain and other western countries took the artillery invented by Dai Zi back to study, but it was too complicated to copy. If Kangxi doesn't kill him, it can be said that China's weapons are absolutely ahead of the world, and the Qing Dynasty will not be invaded by foreign powers, or even rewrite the present history.
