Why didn't Yin Yu lead more than 100,000 troops back to seize the throne? Expert: There is this person, he does not dare
Friends familiar with history may know that when Kangxi died, the fourteenth prince Yin Yu was no longer by his father's side, watching the throne fall into the hands of his brothers, and the Yin Yu assassins in the northwest still had hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers, so why didn't he come back with hundreds of thousands of heavy troops to seize the throne? Are there a high chance of success? We have to talk about it slowly.
After kangxi deposed the crown prince in the forty-seventh year (1708), the physical condition of the Kangxi Emperor was obviously declining. Fifty-four years (1715) has been so ill that the right hand can not write, this winter a serious illness, trance, dizziness, action to rely on others to support. In the spring of fifty-seven years (1718), when he got up slightly early, he shook his head and looked indecently, sometimes his heartbeat suddenly intensified, and his face suddenly changed. After the spring, although the body has improved, it is generally thin and sickly. Yin Yu knew his father's weakening physical condition very well. In the spring of the sixty-first year (1722), before he was summoned by his father to come to Beijing to finish the opportunity and prepare to return to the northwest to fight, he privately confessed to the Ninth Brother Yinyu that what happened in the palace should be passed on to him in time. As a political star in the last years of the Kangxi Dynasty, as a Fuyuan general who had the heart to win the imperial power, he must have also laid some eyeliner in the capital and even the palace to keep abreast of the pulse of the heart of the dynasty.
The Fourth Brother Yinchen, who was in the Capital Division, paid close attention to the movements of the Fourteen Brothers in the Northwest. By the end of the Kangxi Dynasty, Yin Chan had two fierce rivals for the future throne, the Eight Brothers in the Inner Court and the Fourteen Brothers in the Outer Provinces. At that time, Yin Yu was generally favored by the government and the public politically, and even the fourth brother Yin Yu and the eighth brother Yin Yu believed that the emperor's father would pass the throne to Yin Yu after ten thousand years. In September of the 47th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Yin Yu defended the Eight Brothers, and the Emperor's father reprimanded and beat him in a hurry, but after the fire, he may realize that Yin Yu was not at fault and still had a lot of weight for him. A month later, Emperor Kangran gave yin yu of the emperor's eldest son, who had been divided in the Shangsan Banner.
The next spring, Jin feng Yin yu was a shell. Fifty years later (1711), Emperor Kangzhao led the patrol outside the country and specially ordered him to accompany him. In November of the fifty-second year (1713), the Ninth Brother Yin yu privately judged his close associate He Tu: "Yin Yu is both virtuous and virtuous, and none of us brothers are as good as him, and he will certainly be very noble in the future." In March of the fifty-seventh year (1718), Yin Yu was awarded the title of king by Beizi. In October of that year, the Kangxi Emperor ordered him to be the general of Fuyuan and go to the northwest to conquer the rebellious Alabutan. On November 15, because the Fuyuan general Yin Yu was about to lead an army to the west, the Kangxi Emperor personally went to the tangzi to perform rituals, sound horns, and sacrifice flag bags, and the officials below the prince who were about to go on the expedition were dressed in battle robes, and the princes and officials below Baylor who did not go on the expedition all wore python clothes and drove with them, solemn and majestic.
On the tenth day of the first month of the following month, on the day that Yin Yu set off on his expedition, the send-off ceremony was even more solemn, the Kangxi Emperor Lintaihe Dian personally awarded the Great General's Edict, and the officials below the prince who were about to go on the expedition gathered in front of the Taihe Hall, and the ministers below the prince and above who did not go on the expedition all gathered outside the noon gate in python costumes, and the Fuyuan general Yin Yu went out of the noon gate after kneeling in the hall to receive the edict of Xie En, and rode out of Tiananmen, and the ministers below the prince and above and above were sent to the desheng gate. According to the will of the Emperor's father, Yin Yu used a yellow flag and followed the style of the king. This shows that Yin Yu was awarded the title of king and enjoyed the treatment and specifications of the king.
After Yin Yu went out on the expedition, when the Kangxi Emperor received the head of the Qinghai Mongol Shuote Clan and the prince Lobzang Tenjin and others in Beijing, he specially issued a decree: "The Great General Wang is my crown prince, and he is indeed a good general, leading a large army, and he knows that he has the ability to lead troops, so he orders the commander to kill the heavy responsibility." Er, etc., or military affairs, or matters of great importance, shall be in accordance with the instructions of the Great General King. If you can work hard in good faith, it is no different from my face-to-face instructions. It can be seen from this that the Kangxi Emperor not only trusted Yin Yu, but also gave him a lot of power. He had made outstanding achievements in such major tasks as quelling the rebellion in Tibet and escorting the Dalai Lama VI into Tibet, and the Kangxi Emperor erected a monument to the former zongren's mansion to commemorate it.
Politically optimistic, Yin Yu commanded more than 100,000 troops with well-equipped equipment and rich practical combat experience. It's a very combative army. This army was in the hands of a prince who was always staring at the throne, which could not but be a problem for Yin Chan, who was also staring at the throne. In order to deal with his brother Yin Chan, the fourth son of the Emperor, Yin Chan, had already quietly laid a chess piece in the northwest. This chess piece is Nian Tangyao.
From May of the 60th year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1721), Nian Qianyao served as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Xi'an is the only place for the northwest front to go to the inland and the Beijing Division. Therefore, in peacetime, Nian Qianyao could contain the great general Yin Yu, and at a critical moment, he could cut off his way back to Beijing. On November 14, the 61st year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1722), the day after the death of the Kangxi Emperor, Yin Chan, who had not yet taken the throne, ordered the general Yin Yu to come to Beijing on the 24th without mistake.
In this way, more than 100,000 troops were scattered and returned to the Beijing Division alone? The great general Yin Yu thought about it left and right, looked around the desolate northwest land, and had to sigh a long time, scatter the army under his command, and be ordered to enter Beijing. In fact, nian Qianyao, the heroic and warlike governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, played an important role in deterring Yin Yu. If he tried to raise troops in Qinghai and Gansu, first of all, Nian Qianyao would not allow him to enter the gate of Guanzhong, let alone want to swing his division into Beijing. At the crucial moment, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Nian Qianyao, a pawn, realized the strategic intention of containing and intercepting the great general Yin Yu, and played a decisive role in firmly controlling the situation in the northwest, which was of great importance.
