I speak a bit of Chinese. Have a go at the monster's name : Zhū Hòucōng 朱 厚熜. Zhū = a bit like "Joo" but with the "oo" being high pitched. Hòu = a bit like "Ho" like the last word in Santa's "ho ho ho" laugh. cōng = a bit like "tsONg" with "on" sounds like, well, "on", and there in barely a tiny hint of the "g" sound. Now you know the git's name! 🥳 Lash "朱厚熜" into Google translate to see how close you got it! Edit: The first fella's name is a bit like ("Jung Duh")
Failed assassinations are the best example of "history is written by the victors." We never think about their consequences because they *are* history as we know it. Interesting subject to bring up, honestly!
OOO, why didn't I ever think about smashing a potato against a wall? Thank you for finding the historical context to discuss this. You made me cry . . . and laugh out loud.
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for doing what you do. Dont let the internet tear you down, try to find the nuggets of gold in the great big pile of crap that is the internet, and focus on those nuggets of gold instead.
That attempt on the Ming emperor is like something straight out of Game of Thrones. The way you described it I could see it happening in my minds eye 😰
Excellent timing, Cinzia! It's reassuring to hear that a failed attempt doesn't necessarily mean anything dire will happen. _Lughs in anxious in the US_
The leaders of the French Revolution screwed up so badly with the Reign of Terror that the people of France seemed more than happy to welcome Napoleon as their Emperor. But to be fair, most revolutions tend to just end up as, "Say hello to the new boss. He's the same as the old one."
The failed assassination of the Jiajing Emperor sounds kinda similar to the Harem Conspiracy from ancient Egypt. Unlike in the former case, a number of palace servants and officials succeeded in killing the Pharaoh Ramesses III, though they had a far less sympathetic motive than those poor women tortured by the Jiajing Emperor. Instead, a court official named Pebekhamun and one of Ramesses III’s principal concubines named Tiye sought to instal her son Pentawer as Pharaoh instead of Ramesses III’s chosen successor, Ramesses IV. They actually did successfully assassinate Ramesses III, however the coup failed and the conspirators were all tried and executed.
Great video. These stories, while horrifying, were very fun to learn about. However, I'd argue that the assassinations did not change much. The Chinese emperor kept on being a depraved sicko and actually intensified his torture regimen, as you stated. Napoleon kept on doing Napoleon things until his final defeat at Waterloo, as well, so it would be failure to succeed in a critical battle that would change the course of history for France. Imagine, though, if he had won Waterloo. Europe could have a very different face from what we see today.

Another enjoyable and informative video Cinzia. I would argue that the failed attempts on Hitler did alter history as they made him increasingly paranoid of his senior leaders and led him to make many poor decisions. Please keep looking after yourself after recent events and remember that there are many who support and appreciate your work.
i saw a tumblr post saying something like: we’ve had the assassination attempt that helps the opposition, the assassination attempt that helps the target, but america has invented a new type: the assassination attempt with no effect whatsoever :)
They're supposed to be a reasonably high protein vegetable, but seeing as even our goats won't touch them unless there's nothing else, I doubt they're a palatable one. Obviously not something that would spring to mind as a method of raising healthy humans.
Fantastic, as always, and very timely! I half expected the first attempt on Agrippina to make an appearance in the video, too, although I don't know whether it significantly altered the landscape in the long run (just made her more of a badass, albeit a morally dubious one, of history)
I usually watch your videos for insightful looks into history or mythology, but the last couple also contain your interesting fight with technology and your camera. I only hope you didn't have to smash a potato this time.
Interesting topic. I was trying to find the cited references in the description, but I could not find them. Can you post the references please? I realize they might have been left out by accident, especially when there templates to do the descriptions.
I’ve come across this channel when researching Gorgon’s. It was SO VERY VERY WELL DONE & INFORMATIVE that i just HAD to listen to another one. Sincerely, I say that I hope you’re involved in the broadcast industry, your narration is above impeccable. Your pronunciation, perfect, and timing masterful. You are too talented to let these gifts elude you, therefore, if you’re not using it in a professional manner to increase your income & recognizability; I with all conviction say, again not to allow this talent to go unharvested. 🙂
I realize I'm about to share a pick-and-choose opinion, but its atrocities talked about in videos like this that help me feel *real comfortable* with abandoning tradition. Over all, I feel less inclined to honor the past and more learn from it.
Unfortuantely, a failed attempt tends to feed any narsissim or "God Complexes" that the surviour may have had before the attack. A failed attempt rarely makes the target change views or become more timid or insightful.
People were always and will always be terrible. It's a good thing that there always was and will always be good people, even if they were all victims in these stories.
wait have I misunderstood or are you arguing that (some) assassinations are good because all these horrible things wouldn't have happened if the assassins had succeeded?
Trumps “event” didn’t change history. He’s meant to loose. This only made him more heroic amongst his own base. The rest of us still see him for the monster we’ve always saw him has.
Spoiler alert! In the 1962 film The Manchurian Candidate, the plan is for an assassin to shoot the presidential nominee as he delivers his acceptance speech on live national television. The fearless vice-presidential nominee will then defiantly grab the microphone and win the hearts and minds of the American people!

When people call for revolution or romanticize the French revolution, I wish they remembered the part after the angry mob.

the idea of eating only mulberry leaves is just truly awful to me. that's what you feed silkworms not a growing child.

What an interesting topic! I hope this goes viral
Everytime I see your face, and especially hear your voice, it fills me with joy
Good evening Cinzia, lovely to see you again
You deserve a medal for attempting so much french!! 😂 love your videos 😊❤
You are a great storyteller. I love all your videos.
Perhaps you could add a "No potatoes were harmed in the making of this video" disclaimer to future posts!😜!
Are you sure no potatoes are harmed?
0:05 Anticipation prior to watching. Yes, assassinations certainly change course of history but not necessarily in ways that the assasin's want
YAY NEW CINZIA!!!

This was extraordinary! A great delight to watch, thank you!
This was so fun and informative! I have one question though - would the potato be raw or cooked? LOL ;)
This is a pivotal question

the truth is in the details...your presentation was outstanding
Excellent video!

Awww .. last one was a one time video... Snif snif... Nah, good video and always well researched. Thanks for the work you put in this. =)

Thank you for this video!
Corruption and Chinese administration go hand in hand. Thanks for the awesome and timely video!
Every government out there has problems with corruption to be honest.
This form of “punishment” that the Jiajing emperor was fond of was called Lingchi or death by a thousand cuts in English

Stalin thought he was about to be knocked off and he changed history.
Hopefully this last one will if it is confirmed that there was a conspiracy or a stand-down order!
You know he’s laughing at you, right? He’s gotten you people to deny reality and believe anything he says. He even told you he was going to do it!
@@juliazalewski3023 What do you mean? Trump has not said there was a conspiracy, it is just very obvious!

Trump was a laughable outsider last time. And then he won. Let us not be complacent about his chances.
That 1155BC Harem Conspiracy on Ramesses III though… heavy hearts all around… It falls to Ma’at to sort out this instance of chaos. 🫀⚖️🪶
