Emperor Qianlong's literary martial arts are unparalleled among emperors in previous dynasties, and his first novel "Anti-Gan Shi Sheng" brought the Qing Dynasty into its heyday. He has profound attainments in calligraphy and poetry, and wrote tens of thousands of poems in his life. He is a handsome emperor with literary talent and romantic style. What makes people relish most is the rumor of his six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, which is full of "romantic" flavor.
So, the question is, do you really want to have sex in Jiangnan after six trips?
The real purpose of six trips to the south of the Yangtze River usually has the following statements, and listen to me slowly.
The first statement is similar to folk rumors, that is to say, Gan Long went to Jiangnan many times because of its beautiful scenery and many beautiful women. He took a "lucky trip", or, to put it bluntly, just for fun.
It is good that Qianlong is a romantic emperor, but his romantic style is more reflected in his literary talent, which is elegant as a literati poet, not obscene. Although Emperor Qianlong was a Manchu, he was highly accomplished in Chinese studies, read many poems and knew the Emperor Wang Zhidao very well. How can he spend a lot of money to seek beauty in Jiangnan frequently?
The second view is that Xiajiangnan is related to the Chen family in Haining. Gan Long was the son of Chen Shiguan, a native of Haining, and his son Yong succeeded him later.
This statement is not credible either. Because, in the Qing Dynasty, all the details of the descendants of the royal family from birth to death were supervised and recorded by the Zongren government, and no mistakes were allowed. This switch can fool one person, but not everyone. Once discovered, Prince Yong and the people of Wang Fu will both take born to die. Prince Yong would never risk doing it. Besides, Prince Yong was just a prince at that time, and he didn't expect to succeed in the future. Even if he wanted the throne, he would have three sons by then, and one was still alive. There is no need to secretly trade your daughter for someone else's son. Is he a fairy? Will Chen Jiazi be favored by Kangxi in the future? Therefore, it is not reliable to say that Gan Long visited his biological parents in Jiangnan six times.
The third view is that Gan Long inspected the water conservancy situation in the south of the Yangtze River. According to historical records, Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River six times and inspected the Yellow River regulation project and seawall project in Zhejiang several times. However, this is not the main reason why he went to the south of the Yangtze River, but only a glance, which is at most a secondary reason. When the emperor comes out for a stroll, he always looks around and observes the people's feelings.
Since none of the above is true, what is the main reason for going to Jiangnan six times?
This starts with Qianlong's grandfather, Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi visited the south six times in his life, and his main purpose was nothing more than this: to appease the southern scholars.
At that time, after the Qing army entered the customs, it committed two massacres in the south, "Jiading 10" and "Yangzhou Three Slaughters", which were as tragic as the "Nanjing Massacre" hundreds of years later. This made the southern scholars hate Manchu for a long time after the Qing dynasty unified the world, and the people's hearts were unstable. In order to consolidate the ruling foundation of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi strongly advocated "Man-Han family", made many southern tours and personally visited Ming Taizu, the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Jiangnan has always been the land of plenty and the main source of fiscal revenue in Qing Dynasty. In addition, the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty still have deep roots there, so Jiangnan is unstable and the world is uneasy. Therefore, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to Jiangnan. Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River to pay homage to Shi Kefa Temple and ordered it to be rebuilt. The purpose of building Wen Yuan Pavilion, Wenzong Pavilion and Wen Hui Pavilion of Sikuquanshu in Hangzhou, Zhenyang is to appease people's hearts and try to weaken people's resistance to Manchu.
The main purpose of six trips to the south of the Yangtze River is to calm people's hearts and win them over. Secondly, it is a combination of benevolence and righteousness to supervise the river-sea project and hold a military parade to show the greatness of the Qing army. Of course, it is reasonable to "tour" a few Jiangnan beauties by the way. After all, the whole world is not the land of kings, and the women living in this land are naturally the women of the emperor!
