In the Treatise on Passing the Qin Dynasty, it is said that after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, "the good generals guarded the key points with strong crossbows, and the trustworthy ministers and the best soldiers were Chen Libing. The world has been settled, the first emperor 's heart, he thought Guanzhong A solid city with thousands of miles is the legacy of descendants and emperors for eternity. "
Every emperor in history probably thought this way, thinking that his empire was an inheritance that could last for eternity. Unfortunately, just like the Qin Dynasty only had two generations, most royal families can only be passed down for a few hundred years at most. There was even a royal family abroad who not only lost the throne, but also had the entire family wiped out.
Mountains and rivers broken, wind fluttering, life experience ups and downs
Industrial revolution After the industrial revolution , science and technology developed rapidly, and ideas also progressed. This greatly impacted the imperial power of various countries. People in many countries were dissatisfied with their rights being controlled by the royal family, and they revolted one after another. , overthrew the royal rule.
But for most people, after all, the royal family is the symbol and image spokesperson of a country, so they only deprived the royal family of their right to rule, but not their lives.
For example, the United Kingdom implements a constitutional monarchy and still retains the names of the queen, princes, and grandsons. In Japan, the emperor even still has a certain amount of power to rule, even though he is a sinner who has been defeated repeatedly and made the people live in dire straits.
Even if China completely eliminated the emperor, it did not hold the Qing Dynasty royal family accountable. The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty Aisin Gioro Puyi lived like any ordinary people after the founding of New China. Working.
However, in one country, not only overthrew the rule of the dynasty, but also killed their royal family - not the emperor alone, but the entire royal family. This country is our neighbor to the north, the snow-covered Russia .
Nicholas II was born in 1868, an era of turmoil in all countries around the world. In 1894, Nicholas II, who was only 26 years old, ascended the throne and had the power to control the entire Tsarist Russia.
Born in troubled times, Wen Tianxiang lamented himself "The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind is floating in the catkins, and the life experience is ups and downs. The rain and the rain are beating the grass. I am afraid of the beach, and I am alone in the ocean."
This kind of melancholy was reflected in Nicholas II at that time. It doesn't exist. After all, everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. No matter how chaotic the situation is, it will be under his control. How could he have thought that the fate of himself and the entire royal family would be Just like this poem, rain beats duckweed.
Nicholas II took over a backward, poor and weak feudal country. He knew this very well, so he wanted to win himself a vast territory and sufficient money and materials through conquest. .
However, how could backward technology and backward people withstand foreign guns and iron cannons? Tsarist Russia suffered successive defeats.
Zhang Yanghao wrote in Tong Guanzhong "It is sad that wherever the Qin and Han dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces were made of dirt. In prosperity, the people suffered; in death, the people suffered." Yes, no matter whether it rises or falls, it is always the lower class people who are exploited by war. .
After resorting to militarism again and again, Nicholas II lost the support of the people to an unprecedented degree.
If the people are so miserable that they can no longer survive, it is time to rebel.
Falling flowers and spring are gone. In the sky and on earth
This young czar ambitiously formulated the so-called "Yellow Russia Plan" regardless of the conditions of his own country. He set his greedy eyes on Northeast China and sent his troops to invade across the country's borders.
was then involved in the chaotic pattern of the world. started a war with Japan and was defeated by this small country.
After the Russo-Japanese War, small-scale uprisings and revolutions began to appear in Tsarist Russia, but Nicholas II did not take it seriously until the beginning of the First World War.
In this worldwide battle, Tsarist Russia was still retreating steadily, resulting in domestic economic chaos, people's livelihood, and endless complaints.
The October Revolution was born in this context. Because it complied with public opinion, it became overwhelming and overthrew the rule of Tsarist Russia. It planted a red flag in the world that was in despair at that time - The Soviet Union, the first socialist country, was born. The great Lenin will lead the people to seek happiness.
The founding of the Soviet Union was like a flame and a beacon, bringing warm hope to the Russian people. The people who turned from serfdom to singing became increasingly resentful of the Tsarist Russian royal family who had made them suffer.
Moreover, the Soviet regime at that time was not yet stable and could be counterattacked by the old forces at any time.
Based on various considerations, just after the October Revolution, the Soviet government imprisoned Nicholas II and his family in Yekaterinburg . In mid-July 1918, at the Ibatyev Palace in Yekaterinburg, Nicholas II and his family Family members were shot.
Nicholas II, his queen, three daughters and one son died together in the same place at the same time. From then on, there was no bloodline of Tsarist Russia in the world.
The carved railings and jade masonry should still be there, but the beauty has changed
Yekaterinburg was founded in 1723 and was named after the Russian Empress Catherine I . There is another Catherine II in Russian history. She is the well-known one. She has extremely high abilities and ambitions. Under her rule, Russia has become the most powerful country in Europe.
Yekaterinburg was once an important region in Tsarist Russia, connecting the Siberian road to Europe and Asia. Whether it was trade, transportation, culture or science, it was at the country's developed level. Countless Russian emperors visited or worked here to enjoy the prosperous scene under their rule.
Dynasties change, clouds roll and relax, nothing is immortal.
In the Commentary on the Qin Dynasty, it was said that "the First Emperor is no longer alive, but his power remains in the world." However, it didn't take long Chen Sheng Wu Guang "croaked among the troops, then stubbornly stood up in the streets, led the exhausted soldiers, and killed hundreds of them." The people turned to attack Qin, chopped down trees as soldiers, raised poles as flags, and the world gathered to respond. Li Yu, who was also the last emperor, wrote a poem "The east wind blew again last night in the small building, and the motherland could not bear to look back at the moonlight." The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the beauty has changed. How much sorrow can you have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward. "
After Li Yu lost the throne of the emperor, he was imprisoned by Zhao Kuangyin, which can still hurt the spring and autumn. . Nicholas II was already dead and in ecstasy, and no longer had the ability to lament like this. But the mood of this kind of subjugated monarch when facing the mountains and rivers of the past must be common.
The footsteps of history will not stop for anyone, and the Soviet Union did not escape the fate of disintegration. Countless people watched the demise of the Soviet regime with tears in their eyes, followed by a divided Russia. Who can know the story after that? ?
Dynasties will change, and people's hearts will change. Only buildings and only land will not change at all. Yekaterinburg will always stand on the land of Russia, silently watching the mountains and rivers change without saying a word.
