In the first year of Yongzheng, As a great Mongolian nobleman in Qinghai, Lobzang Danjin gathered more than 100,000 troops, repeatedly invaded the important town of Xining, and also kidnapped the Mongol prince, and even killed the Chincha minister sent by the imperial court to reconcile.
It is rumored that Yue Zhongqi was the twenty-first grandson of the national hero Yue Fei, who had military merit during the Kangxi Dynasty, and this time he led 6,000 elites to pacify Qinghai in less than a year, and was appointed by Yongzheng as an inspector of Gansu and supervised the administration of the Gansu and Qinghai navies.
In the third year of Yongzheng, the arrogant Nian Tangyao overturned the car, and the position of governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi was also replaced by Yue Zhongqi, so Yue Zhongqi was transformed into a third-class duke, and in order to implement the new policy of the master, he implemented the policy of dividing the land into acres in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, and also implemented the land return to the toast in the Wumeng area of Sichuan.
Although Yue Zhongqi, who was born in han China, was loyal to the imperial court, because he was in charge of the military and political power of the three provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, he naturally had to be wary of some criticism from within the imperial court.
In fact, the new emperor was very clear in his heart yue Zhongqi's caution, and only if there was any wind and grass, he would definitely play it and show his loyalty.
In the fifth year of Yongzheng, someone in Chengdu preached that Yue Zhongqi was going to rebel, Yue Zhongqi was furious, and after some investigation, it was found that Lu Zong, a Huguang man, was spreading gossip, and soon, Yongzheng also issued a Zhu criticism, using rumors to confuse the public, frame the court ministers and other serious crimes, and beheaded Lu Zong to show the public.
However, the storm in this matter did not subside, and Jingzhou Xiucai Zengjing was influenced by Lü Liuliang's anti-Qing thoughts and asked his disciple Zhang Xi to send a letter to Yue Zhongqi, in which he not only denounced Yongzheng for usurping the throne by his father, but also used Yue Fei's deeds of resisting Jin, hoping that Yue Zhongqi could turn his gun and avenge the Han people.
Yue Zhongqi superficially agreed, and as a result, after obtaining the relevant confessions, he directly ordered the arrest of the two people and escorted them to the capital, which led to the case of Lu Liuliang, the head of the literal prison, which was affected by many people.
In order to vent his anger, Yongzheng ordered that the long-dead Lü Liuliang be dissected and killed, and even more than sixty members of the Lü family were exiled to Guanwai and enslaved for generations, but for Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi,000 masters and apprentices, Yongzheng opened a net, he compiled a "Record of the Mysteries of the Great Righteousness", gave Zeng Jing an idle post, rewarded him with one thousand taels of silver, and at the same time Yue Zhongqi denounced his meritorious service, and was praised and sealed by Yongzheng, still entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
In the seventh year of Yongzheng, the leader of the Dzungar Dan tribe, Dzungar Dance, repeatedly led his troops to plague the border, Yongzheng ordered the Heilongjiang general Fu Erdan to command the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to form a large army of the North Road, and then let Yue Zhongqi serve as the general of Ningyuan, commanding the soldiers and horses of the three provinces to form a large army of the Western Road, in order to let Yue Zhongqi do his best, Yongzheng gave him a title of Shaobao.
After Gardanze Zero learned that the imperial court had sent a large army to surround and suppress him, he made two preparations, on the one hand, he dispatched troops and generals, on the other hand, he sent emissaries to the capital to negotiate peace, and in order to show his sincerity, he was willing to hand over the Qin prisoner Lobzang Tenzin.
In this way, Yongzheng recalled the two main commanders to enter Beijing and suspended the attack, but Gar Dance Zero was not honest, and sent tens of thousands of horses to raid the Koshetuling Ranch set up by Yue Zhongqi, not only snatched a large number of weights and horses, but also burned the grain and grass, and the general Fan Ting led two thousand Qing troops to pursue, and fought fiercely with the enemy for seven days and nights, finally crushing the rebels and recapturing part of the weight.
On the other hand, On the side of Ji Chengbin, who was nursing the great general Yin, the problem was somewhat serious, he not only closed the city, but also became a deserter, but also concealed his losses after the defeat of the Qing army, exaggerated the results of the battle, and shamelessly asked the imperial court for credit.
After Yue Zhongqi returned to the barracks, he began to redeploy his troops in order to fight the enemy to the death, and Gardanze zero knew that Yue Zhongqi was brave and good at war, so he deliberately left a small part of his troops to harass in the Turfan area, and placed the main elite of nearly 60,000 people on the only road of the Qing army's north road, defeating Fu Erdan and causing The Fuerdan army to be almost completely destroyed.
When Yue Zhongqi learned of this, he led his troops to fight back and defeated the enemy army, but soon after, there was a robbery of grain and grass, and the Turpan where the Western Route Army was stationed at that time was extremely hot, coupled with poor grain and grass, difficulty in drinking water, and there was a situation of low morale and unstable morale in the army.
After yongzheng arrived in the capital, Yongzheng was a little unhappy in his heart, and he read Yue Zhongqi's report on the xinjiang operation, and the more he read it, the more annoyed he became, and then he traced the responsibility for the Battle of Koshetuling and demoted Ji Chengbin to the rank of deputy general of Shazhou.
Later, Yue Zhongqi used the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, attacking in three ways, and the rebel army that fought collapsed, and the Western Route Army also occupied the capital of Xinjiang for a time.
In the tenth year of Yongzheng, Kaldanze Zero sent troops to attack Hami, because Yue Zhongqi's improper use of personnel caused the rebels to hijack a large amount of materials and retreat safely, Yongzheng was furious when he learned of this, and began to severely reprimand Yue Zhongqi for his demotion.
Learning that Yue Zhongqi had fallen out of favor, the military chancellor Ortai began to take the opportunity to impeach Yue Zhongqi, and yue Zhongqi was demoted to the third rank, stripped of the title of Shaobao, but still retained the post of governor, and Ji Chengbin was beheaded.
After Yue Zhongqi returned to the capital, he was detained by Yongzheng order and handed over to the Bingbu to wait, and after being imprisoned for two full years, the Bingbu also sentenced him to be executed, but Yongzheng remembered Yue Zhongqi's merits in pacifying Tibet and Qinghai that year, so he changed the decision to "beheading the prison waiting", to put it bluntly, it was a slow death, and he was also fined 700,000 taels of silver.
Yue Zhongqi was released during the Qianlong period, and later restored to the titles of Prince Shaobao and Third Rank Duke for his military merits, but in the nineteenth year of Qianlong, when Yue Zhongqi went out with a serious illness to suppress Chen Kun, he died of illness in Sichuan at the age of 68.
