358 years ago today, on August 25th, 1667 (July 7th, 1667 in the lunar calendar), Kangxi took office. Emperor Kangxi Kangxi was the longest emperor who ruled China in the Qing Dynasty. He inherited the throne at the age of 8, managed political affairs personally at the age of 14, and died at the age of 69. He reigned for 61 years. He reigned in the world for a long time, which is unique in the history of our country. In 1661, Emperor Shunzhi died, and his third son, 8-year-old Aixinjueluo Xuanye, inherited the throne and became the second emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. In 1662, the title of the reign was changed to Kangxi. At that time, state government affairs were assisted by four ministers: Sony, Ebilong, Suksaha and Aobai. Among the four auxiliary ministers, Sony was old and weak, and Yebilong was weak. Although Suksaha was able to strive for trouble, he was far from Ao Bai's opponent, and was finally framed to death by Ao Bai. Therefore, the political power was controlled by the domineering Ao Bai and the old school. He didn't pay attention to other auxiliary ministers and Emperor Kangxi at all. When officials presented the memorial of Emperor Kangxi, he often made his own decisions without showing it to the emperor. He played the banner of "leading the ancestral system and restoring the old chapter" and adopted the policy of rejecting the advanced western science. The contradiction between Ao Bai, who is authoritarian, and Emperor Kangxi, who is young but has to be carefully governed, has become increasingly acute on many fundamental issues. For example, Emperor Kangxi advocated further feudalization of Manchu rulers through reform; Restrain the separatist forces of "San Francisco" such as Wu Sangui; Unify Taiwan; Ao Bai opposed all major issues and propositions such as paying enough attention to the separatist forces in Galdan in northwest China. The young Emperor Kangxi soberly realized that if Ao Bai continued to dictate power, it would not only be a serious threat to his throne, but also bring adverse effects to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and the consequences would be unimaginable. On August 25th, 1667, the 14-year-old Emperor Kangxi resolutely put aside Ao Bai and began to manage political affairs personally, which further intensified the contradiction between him and Ao Bai. It was not until 1669 that Emperor Kangxi began to make great achievements and make contributions. Politically, in order to safeguard and consolidate the interests of the feudal state, Kangxi reformed the central institutions and strengthened centralization; In order to safeguard the unity of the country, after putting down the rebellion activities of the three vassal kings, they continued to carry out the struggle to recover Taiwan Province and defend the southeast coast. In the 24th year of Kangxi, he sent troops to expel the Tsarist Russian invaders entrenched in Yaksa, Heilongjiang River Basin, which curbed Tsarist Russia's ambition to invade China. In 28 years, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchu was concluded, which determined the eastern border between China and Russia, leaving a glorious chapter in the history of China's anti-aggression war. Since then, he has sent troops to eliminate Galdan Group and Alabutan rebels, attacked Tsarist Russia again, consolidated the northwest and southwest border defenses of the motherland, and made China a unified country with vast territory and numerous ethnic groups. Economically, Kangxi paid attention to reducing taxes, reducing money and grain, and helping the hungry people; Manage the Yellow River and Huaihe River and build water conservancy projects; Reward reclamation and expand the area of cultivated land; The abolition of the sea relocation order, the opening of the sea ban, and the implementation of policies conducive to industrial and commercial development have greatly promoted the development of the national economy. Kangxi was diligent and studious all his life and read widely. He has studied mathematics, astronomy, calendar, physics, medicine, engineering technology, classics, history, collections, calligraphy and painting and other arts. He also ordered the organization of forces to compile books many times, and the famous Kangxi Dictionary compiled at that time has been handed down to this day.
