The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 724: Changes in the Retreat of Post Stations and Logistics
[The Khalkha prince Elinqin who was previously ordered to commit suicide was the brother of the Mongolian Living Buddha Jebtsundamba and the great leader Tushetu Khan, and he was very influential in the upper class of Khalkha in the northern desert.]

[However, since Emperor Qianlong mercilessly ordered him to commit suicide, Khalkha Prince Qinggunzabu rebelled on the grounds that Khalkha was a descendant of Genghis Khan and should not be punished or executed.]

[The Khalkha princes followed suit, and in addition to withdrawing their soldiers guarding the checkpoints, they also took the opportunity to rob the station of property and food, as well as the cloth and tea of ​​passing merchants.]

[As a result, all the Qing army stations on the northern route from the 10th to the 26th were paralyzed, the postal service was blocked, and the supply of food to the Junggar army to suppress the rebellion was also cut off. This is known in history as the "Removal of Post Stations"]

……

Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period
Kangxi frowned and thought.

The defeat of Dzungar made Khalkha feel grief-stricken.

The frequent conscription during the war and the death of E'linqin seriously damaged their interests and self-esteem.

Qinggunzabu's rebellion actually broke the window paper.

This aroused all the dissatisfaction of the Khalkha.

"It's still too hasty."

"I inherited this from the fourth brother."

Kangxi thought to himself that these father and son needed to be disciplined more seriously.

……

On the canopy.

The water vapor after the rain brings a hint of coolness in autumn.

But this chill could not calm the anger in the emperor's eyes.

"Pass the order."

Qianlong placed his hands on the imperial desk, his eyes fixed on the map of the territory spread out on the desk.

"Appoint Chenggunzabu as the Left Deputy General of Dingbian, and lead the Qing troops that were suppressing the rebellion in the Zhun tribe to the north, enter the territory of the Hotohuit tribe, and capture Qinggunzabu."

"Order Daldang'a and Hadaha to lead the Qing army to retreat quickly and cooperate with Chenggunzabu to suppress the rebellion."

"Have the Ministry of Rites write an imperial edict to make it clear to the leaders of the Khalkha tribes that the Qing Dynasty has no hostility towards them and that they should not follow suit and rebel."

"Organize a meeting of the Khalkha tribes in Tamir and other places, and order Jebtsundamba to personally come forward to appease them."

"For the tribal leaders who have participated in the withdrawal of the post stations, if they immediately return to their respective places to serve, I will forgive them for their past mistakes."

The eunuch beside him took the order and walked out backwards.

……

[Since the wars of the Qing Dynasty involved a wide area, successive Qing emperors attached great importance to the construction of post stations. ]

[The post stations were like the nerve cells of the Qing dynasty, able to promptly report the war situation in various places to the central system in Beijing.]

[The Qinggunzabu's move to withdraw the post station was equivalent to cutting off the Qing Dynasty's nerves.]

【After learning about this, Qianlong took urgent measures. 】

【With a multi-pronged approach, Qinggun Zabu's rebellion was quickly quelled. 】

[In November of the 21st year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, Qinggun Zabu was captured on the Sino-Russian border and was later executed by Emperor Qianlong.]

[The rebellion lasted for about five months. Its direct impact was that the Qing government's post stations in Khalkha, Altai Mountains and Zhunbu were temporarily paralyzed, but they were restored after the rebellion was quelled.]

……

{This brief account does not reveal Qianlong's methods at all. He first wrote to Jebtsundamba and Tushetu Khan, admitting that his policies were wrong and that he did not understand the plight of the Khalkha people well enough.}
{He said that he would no longer blindly adopt tough measures in the future, and would reward the Khalkha people according to their military merits in participating in the war of peace and stability. At the same time, he also asked Jebtsundamba to look at the overall situation and advise the Khalkha princes to continue to remain loyal to the court.}
{Jebtsundamba was the spiritual leader of the Khalkha Mongols. When the Khalkha princes were still hesitant about what to do next, his attitude was crucial.}
{It can also be said that the Qing court could only bring Jebtsundamba back to its side to truly improve the situation in Khalkha.}
{So for this reason, while Qianlong comforted Jebtsundamba through various channels, he also mobilized all his personal connections to mediate behind the scenes. The most effective one was to ask the Qinghai Living Buddha Zhangjia III to mediate.}
{When Zhangjia was seven years old, he was summoned to the palace to study and became a classmate of Emperor Qianlong, who was still a prince.}
{When Zhangjia learned about this, he wrote a letter to Jebtsundamba, saying that the country had shown great kindness to us, and that Erinqin was sentenced to death because he had violated the law, and the country had to act according to the law. This also showed that the country treated Mongolia the same as its inland subjects, and did not have any suspicion of us.}
{On this basis, Qianlong sent Zhangjia to lead the ministers of the interior and the princes of the southern desert to the northern desert to meet with the Khalkha princes and Jebtsundamba to strengthen their inward-looking heart, and repeatedly stated that except for Qinggunzabu, all others would be pardoned.}
{This meeting became an important turning point in the Khalkha situation.}
{Because among the Khalkha princes in the past, the late Prince Chaoyong Celeng was the most trusted and valued by the Qing court, and even received the treatment of being enshrined in the imperial temple after his death, Qianlong appointed his eldest son Chenggun Zhabu as the Left Deputy General of Dingbian and let him lead the Qing army to conquer Qinggun Zabu.}
{After losing the support of Jebtsundamba and the princes, Qinggunzabu was helpless and was captured on the Sino-Russian border.}
……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Li Zhi sat on the stone pier, patted his thighs lightly, and sighed.

"To be able to remain so rational in anger."

"Qianlong is truly extraordinary."

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said nothing.

The emperor was very concerned about his reputation, especially an autocratic emperor like Qianlong.

However, even after being slapped in the face like this, Qianlong was able to choose to admit his mistake in the first place, and did not get angry and launch an expedition to punish the enemy. This magnanimity is something that no ordinary emperor could match.

"If Chongzhen had been so magnanimous, the Ming Dynasty would not have perished so quickly."

Li Zhi did not comment upon hearing this.

The Ming Dynasty’s problems were not just in Liaodong.

If it weren't for Li Zicheng's internal chaos, the Ming Dynasty could have exhausted Liaodong by just holding Shanhaiguan.

The emergence of Li Zicheng also reflected the consequences of the Ming Dynasty's long-standing and irreversible decline.

"Qianlong has the appearance of a wise ruler."

Li Zhize thought of another thing.

How should Qianlong treat the Zhunbu?
……

Great Song.

"Golden man..."

Zhao Kuangyin closed his eyes and thought.

Although the Qing Dynasty claimed that it had the same origin as Genghis Khan of Mongolia, it still could not change the fact that they were of the same blood as the Jin people.

From this perspective, the golden man has the last laugh...

This is unacceptable...

Zhao Kuangyin slowly opened his eyes.

"Liao, Jurchen, grassland..."

"I want them all!"

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to say anything more.

"My skills are inferior to others..."

With this operation, even the emperors after the Zhu family would not be able to copy it.

"Don't think too highly of yourself..."

Lao Zhu began to seriously reflect on why this happened.

But the conclusion was reached in a moment.

The fourth brother’s seed is not good!

"That's right! That's it!"

"He has a pointed face and monkey cheeks, and doesn't look like an emperor."

"So each of our descendants is inferior to the last!"

Blame others, not yourself.

Old Zhu was in a much better mood.

When you feel better, you can face the problem.

The treatment of the royal family... must be reduced...

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little melancholy. He had to do this himself...

"A bunch of useless bastards..."

Empress Ma came close to Zhu Biao and whispered:
"Who is your father talking about?"

Zhu Biao glanced at the sky and said with a smile:

“Maybe he’s talking about himself.”

……

Qing Dynasty Yongzheng Period
Yongzheng lowered his head and wrote for a while, then put down the pen and sighed.

"Khalkha..."

He really didn't expect that there was such a big loophole in Khalkha.

The imperial court's jurisdiction over Khalkha does need to be strengthened.

Hongli's remedial measure of making up for the loss was really a good one.

That’s how this problem was discovered.

"Khalkha needs to appoint a minister to handle affairs in Kulun."

Yongzheng looked at the wet ink on the handwriting and muttered to himself.

The power in the hands of the Khalkha princes must be returned to the central government. …

[On the surface, the change of withdrawing the post station was not a big problem, but it caused two indirect effects. ]

……

On the canopy.

The Khalkha in the northern desert had just been pacified.

The war in nearby "Zungar" started again.

……

[In order to quell the rebellion, Emperor Qianlong transferred most of the troops attacking the Kazakhs and the garrison troops in the Zunghar region to the Altai Mountains.]

[Before the Qing army left, in order to prevent the surrendered Junggar troops from rebellion, they were disbanded and ordered to return to their pastures.]

[The entire Zunghar region was almost in a state where there were no Qing troops stationed.]

……

The scene changes.

Qianlong's face was as black as coal, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"When I pacified the Dzungar Khanate, I wanted to divide it into four parts and enfeoff four khans, divide their power among them, and make them defend themselves on their own, obeying China's orders, just to show them restraint!"

"How could such a foolish and ignorant person be so stupid!"

"I can't enjoy the blessing of peace!"

"At this point, if there are any suspicious people in the Junggar tribe, we should take advantage of their unpreparedness and eliminate them first!"

"I would rather kill innocent people than let a rebel go!"

Following Qianlong's words, the battles of the Dzungar tribe were stained with blood.

The Qing general "Yarhashan" wiped out all the more than 1,000 households and about 7,000 to 8,000 people under the Khoshut Khan Shakdurmanji.

At the same time, Yubao and Celeng, who were being escorted to Beijing in a prison car, were killed by the Junggar rebels on the way.

"Zungar" was in chaos.

……

[In October of the 21st year of Qianlong's reign, Bayar, the second Huite Khan who succeeded Amursana, openly rebelled.]

【After receiving the report, Emperor Qianlong ordered Ningxia General Heqi, a Qing general stationed in Yili, to lead 100 Eight Banner soldiers, Nima and Zanagarbu, the surrendered generals of the Zunghar tribe, to lead 1,000 soldiers, and Manggarik, the chieftain of Turpan, to lead 1,000 soldiers to jointly suppress the rebellion.】

[On the sixth day of November, Manggaliq, Nima, and Zanagarbu colluded with Bayar and took sudden action by designing to transfer Qing army camels and horses to a distant place and to spy on information, and then surrounded Heqi.]

[He Qi braved the rain of arrows and fought hard with the enemy on foot until he was seriously injured and died.]

[After Heqi was killed, the entire territory of Dzungar fell into the chaos before the rebellion war. Not only did the rebels attack the Qing army, but the various tribes also killed each other for livestock and food.]

[Even the Qing army commanders Celeng and Yubao, who were originally dismissed and arrested, were killed on the way to the capital.]

[The various Junggar tribes united and launched an attack on the Qing troops stationed in Junggar on the Jirgalang River.]

【February of the 1757nd year of Emperor Qianlong’s reign ().】

[Abulai found Amursana hiding in the territory, returned the captured Junggar tribe members to him, married his daughter to him, and supported him to return to Junggar and establish a regime.]

[Amursana secretly returned to Borotala, summoned the leaders of the Junggar tribe, and openly rebelled again.]

……

Datang.

Li Shimin used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Empress Changsun's forehead, then picked up the tired little Sizi and walked towards the pavilion.

“Turpan is a wolf that can never be tamed.”

"I don't know how Zhijie is doing."

Empress Changsun was walking with Li Shimin. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but laugh and said:
"General Cheng is a man of talent, he will definitely be able to handle it."

"Erlang, why don't you think about how to deal with Turpan?"

Li Shimin looked at the sky and couldn't help but sighed:

"What else can we do? Send troops to garrison there and reduce their taxes."

"Use time to gain people's hearts."

"Picture it slowly."

Empress Changsun nodded and said softly:

"But even if we use both kindness and force, we can't make the Turpan chiefs feel that the Tang Dynasty is easy to talk to."

"Otherwise... there will be endless troubles."

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"If it wasn't for the purpose of winning their hearts and pacifying their people... humph!"

"Wait until I make the muskets and cannons."

"All nations under heaven belong to the Tang Dynasty."

……

Song Zhenzong period
Zhao Heng straightened his chest and raised his head and said:
"What do you think? I said they have a true friendship!"

"Even though he got beaten up, he's still willing to help Amur!"

"Xiao'e! You guessed wrong this time!"

"Hahahaha! Ahahahaha! Goose, goose, goose!"

Liu E said coldly:
"I lost, you're happy, right?"

Zhao Heng, who was laughing, suddenly looked like a goose with its throat strangled.

Zhao Heng looked at Liu E's face carefully and whispered:
"No... just to tease you."

Liu E snorted lightly but maintained her point of view.

So selfless?

There must be something wrong!

……

[The Qing troops stationed in Zhun were suddenly trapped in enemy territory.]

[The Qing army was outnumbered and short of food, so it seemed extremely difficult for them to successfully retreat to Barkol.]

[Zhao Hui, the right deputy general of Dingbian, selected his generals to cover the rear, and at the same time prepared to follow the example of Bandi and E Rong'an and commit suicide for the country if the breakout failed.]

……

On the canopy.

A middle-aged general wearing dark blue light armor, with a quiver on his belt and a sword in his hand.

Ahead was a huge group of rebels.

A line of golden characters appeared.

『Zhao Hui』

……

[Zhao Hui, courtesy name Hefu, was of the Uya clan and a member of the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner. He was the grandson of Empress Xiaogongren, the biological mother of Emperor Yongzheng.]

[Unlike many famous generals of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Hui was not born into a family of imperial guards, but rather a "pen-tie-shi" in the Grand Council.]

[This job can be understood as the current clerk and secretary, responsible for sorting out the manuscripts submitted from various places, translating Manchu, Chinese, and Mongolian texts, etc.]

[After serving as a secretary in the Grand Council, Zhao Hui was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue as deputy minister.]

[When suppressing the Jinchuan rebellion and in the early stages of the war against Dzungar, Emperor Qianlong asked him to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and Zhao Hui did a good job.]

[Then there was a great chaos in the Junggar Army, and the generals of the Western Route Army were killed or dismissed. Therefore, Zhao Hui, who was in logistics, had to go to the front line.]

[On July 1756, , Emperor Qianlong appointed Zhao Hui as the minister stationed in Yili, responsible for handling matters such as farming, suppressing rebellions, pacifying the Hui people, and public security management.]

【At this time, the Retreat Incident broke out. 】

[The Qing army was transferred to the Altai Mountains to quell the rebellion, and Zhao Hui had only five or six hundred troops.]

[On November 21, Emperor Qianlong ordered Daldang'a to take over as the General of Dingxi and Zhaohui to take over as the Right Deputy General of Dingbian, which was equivalent to officially appointing the civil official Zhaohui as the Deputy Commander of the Western Route Army.]

……

{Zhao Hui: Do you know what it means to force someone to do something? It is simply too much to ask five or six hundred people to manage the vast area around Yili!}

{Don't worry, the harder part is yet to come.}
{This situation is really a catastrophic start.}
{At this moment, almost all the high-ranking generals of the western and northern Qing armies have quit the game.}
{Amursana, Banjur, and Qinggunzabu rebelled one after another, and Bandi, Erongan, Heqi, Celeng, Yubao, Yongchang, and Khalkha Prince Elinqin Dorji died one after another for various reasons.}
{After Salar was imprisoned, the only generals still leading the troops were Chenggunzabu, Daldanga and Hadaha, and these three were in the Altai Mountains suppressing rebellion at that time.}
{Then Zhao Hui, who had just become the second-in-command of the Western Route Army, received two great gifts.}
{The first is that Heqi was killed by the rebels of Nima and Manggarik.}
{Second, Qianlong ordered him to lead his troops to withdraw from Yili to Barkol.}
{Think about it, when Zhao Hui received the order, he was in Yili, with only 500 Qing troops and 1,000 Junggar troops.}
{The distance from Yili to Barkol is about 1,100 kilometers, and there are rebels all along the way.}
{Given the current situation, the newly appointed Zhao Hui will most likely die in battle during the withdrawal, and He Qi is a role model.}
