When the French Revolution happened, how did Emperor Qianlong react when he found out?

I think that if Emperor Qianlong knew about the French Revolution, there might be two reactions.

First, send troops to quell the rebellion, and ten thousand grasshoppers will come to the DPRK

Emperor Qianlong was the last prosperous emperor of Chinese feudal society. The Qing Empire under his control was With the efforts of several generations, China's feudal culture, which was once a powerful country, spread rapidly at this time. Therefore, even though the world has entered the Industrial Revolution and the Age of Navigation, an extremely powerful and complete East Asian empire that lasted for thousands of years is enough to make people awe and worship it.

Therefore, the old emperor of the "Heavenly Kingdom" who maintained his rule in the feudal empire was confident enough to be an emperor on par with the previous Chinese dynasties in history. Therefore, if Emperor Qianlong knew about the civil strife in France, he might send troops to France out of the "Shiquan Old Man"'s self-confidence and the strength of the country, just like how the unified dynasty in China helped vassal states quell the chaos. To demonstrate the responsibility of the "big brother" who leads the country. At the same time, it can also allow the Gaul chickens in Western Europe to help Emperor Qianlong, and add another fire to the "ten thousand grasshoppers" who have been longing for him to come to court.

Second, the joke "Barbarian", see It’s not surprising

But there is also a possibility that since the Ming Dynasty, China and the world have been closely linked to each other because of the age of navigation. Therefore, the people in power in the Ming and Qing empires knew something about Zheng Zheng. Zhang Qian never traveled to civilization, but China's special geographical environment also created relative peace and isolation before the advent of the Age of Navigation, as well as the paralysis of powerful people. Therefore, the rise of the Qing Empire also made itself self-righteous and lagging behind the times. , a blind and arrogant sleeping giant.

Therefore, in the concept of the Ming and Qing emperors, the countries in the world were just for their curiosity, and the powerful neighbors in their hearts were only Russia, Turkey, Iran, India, Japan, and China. Apart from the missionaries of Qintianjian, there may not be any emperor interested in the conceptual France and England among these traditional enemies of Asia. Therefore, Qianlong regarded France as a barbarian country and regarded their revolution even more. There was no fuss about the peasant uprising.
