As we all know, the ancient culture of our country far exceeded that of other countries in the same period, and even reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty period. During the Tang Dynasty, our vassal states also reached an unprecedented situation. For example, Japan, South Korea and other places once needed to pay tribute to our court, calling our monarch " days Khan ". However, was passively beaten for some reasons during the Qing Dynasty for some reasons, and some vassal states also broke away from the control of the Qing Dynasty and no longer paid tribute!
However, even under internal and external troubles, the Qing Dynasty still had the last vassal state. He was always loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and even insisted on paying tribute in 1947 and wanted to become Chinese nationality. This country is kanjuti , but why is it loyal to China and insist on tribute? Has its desire to become Chinese nationality finally come true?
The coming and going of vassal states
Since ancient times, many dynasties in China have implemented vassal systems and have many vassal states. These vassal states regularly pay some gifts to the sect leader, and the sect leader will also give back some gifts regularly and protect the national security of these vassal states. For example, during the Tang Dynasty, the number of vassal states directly reached a peak. was once Japan and North Korea was also one of our vassal states. They also sent the so-called to send Tang envoy to our country to learn advanced production technology.
However, the world pattern has changed so quickly, and the setting of the vassal states has gradually been abandoned in the subsequent historical torrent. The vassal states that once depended on economically powerful countries have separated from the sect leader and have undergone tremendous changes. For example, the development of my country's history over the past 5,000 years has ushered in a very big turning point when it was in the Qing Dynasty. We cannot deny that some of the Qing Dynasty's policies have had a positive impact on later generations, but their disadvantages are also very obvious.
After the Qing Dynasty experienced the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, the country's strength had reached an unprecedented stage of prosperity, which was a good development trend compared with Western countries in the same period. If the Qing government could continue to follow this development direction, there would not be the subsequent eight countries invasion of China. Faced with its own advantages, the Qing government chose to close the country, and various policies were successively issued to prevent mutual exchanges between China and foreign countries.
However, the Qing government's closeness did prevent the mutual exchange between the country and Western countries, but it did not prevent Western countries from spying on this rich land. Since the failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the great powers have never stopped invading the Qing government. Faced with the aggressive Western powers, the Qing government could only incompetently cede land and pay compensation for more tolerance. Such behaviors as not only caused China to lose a lot of wealth, but also allowed some territory that originally belonged to our country to be divided. At the same time, more than 20 vassal states under the Qing government once governed by the Qing government also began to leave the Qing Dynasty.
’s relationship with Kanjuti
It’s just that what people didn’t expect was that the poor and weak Qing government actually had a loyal "fan". Faced with the retreating Qing government, this country still insisted on tribute, and this country was Kanjuti. Although Kanjuti does not have rich resources in China, its geographical location is still relatively superior, and it was also a fat meat that makes people jealous during the Qing Dynasty. Having an excellent geographical location but not having the strength to protect oneself, Kanjuti can only find a country to protect oneself.
At that time, the neighboring countries had only the Qing Dynasty's comprehensive national strength relatively strong. Kan Juti believed that it was easy for such a Qing government to protect them. Therefore, they took the initiative to belong to the Qing government and paid tribute on time and in quantity every year. However, because they were too backward, there were few things that could pay tribute. Later, the Qing government sent officials to conduct field inspections. After discovering the real situation inside, they also specifically reduced their tribute.
Not only that, the Qing government was not stingy in the face of the tribute from this country, but the Qing government generously donated a lot of items to Kanjuti. and these items also demonstrate the style of a great country, dozens of times that of Kan Juti's tribute to the imperial court. At the same time, in the face of Kan Juti's surrender, the Qing government also did not hesitate to protect Kan Juti. During the reign of Emperor Daoguang, Kan Juti faced an attack from the enemy country. He was about to be unable to resist and was about to destroy the country and his family was about to be destroyed. They quickly asked for help from the sect leader, and the Qing government also quickly sent troops to reinforce to help Kanjuti turn the situation around. After the last vassal state of
, the Qing government has been making a qualified sect leader . Whenever Kan Juti faces the invasion of surrounding countries, the Qing government always sends troops to garrison as soon as possible. However, such a relationship did not last for a long time. Gradually, the Qing government was too busy to face the invasion of the great powers and had no extra energy to control its own vassal states. Later, Kan Juti asked the Qing government for help many times when facing British invasion, but at this time the Qing government was powerless and could only watch Kan Juti be occupied by Britain.
Then he lost contact with this small country. When everyone thought that this small country had been abandoned, things turned around. When Zuo Zongtang recovered Xinjiang , he discovered that , a small country, had been insisting on paying tribute to the Qing government under the premise of being colonized by Britain. At that time, Kanjuti was too far from Beijing, so they arranged for their tribute to Xinjiang directly. Only after Zuo Zongtang recovered Xinjiang did he realize that this small country had been ruthlessly bowing to the Qing government.
However, in order to protect himself, Kan Juti not only expressed goodwill to our country, but also paid tribute to other countries around him. His tribute continued until 1947, and even this country was technically added to China's nationality at that time. However, because of the relevant agreement between China and Pakistan and , Kanjuti did not become China's territory, and was renamed to Pakistan and changed its name to Hunza. Now he has always expressed his support for China's decision.
Conclusion
Although Kanjuti did not become China's territory in the end, it has continued to play its friendship with the Chinese government and is still enthusiastic about Chinese tourists. Our historical continuation will continue to allow the friendship between China and Pakistan to continue to develop for a long time! We China have always been a responsible major country facing every country like us and expressing goodwill!
