If you are an official of A Qing government at the end of19th century, please tell me your national salvation strategy.

19 the end of the world is too late. According to historical records, when Britain and France attacked China in 1860 (belonging to the middle of19th century), because of the disparity in weapons and equipment, 30,000 Qing troops lost 5,000 British and French allied forces and 5 British and French allied forces defeated the Qing army, killing 3,000 people, which is very memorable. In the same year, Yuanmingyuan was burned, and a large amount of compensation caused a great decline in national strength.

If I am an honest official, and I have enough strength.

One-man dictatorship is absolutely not allowed.

I will try to implement a constitutional monarchy (just like Britain) and weaken the rights of the emperor.

Hand over the political power to the parliament, import a large number of warships from Germany, strengthen the naval power, and imitate/import advanced muskets.
