Introduction: Qianlong rewarded two military generals, one for power, one for beauty, the future of the two is very different
There were many long-lived emperors in the Qing Dynasty, and Qianlong was one of them, but he was not the founding emperor, so he did not know how to be frugal, if it were not for Yongzheng, there would be any prosperity.
To become an emperor, none of them is simple, and they can live so long, you can imagine how tough the means are, this old man is very bad!
During the Qianlong period, although there were not many particularly large-scale wars against the interior, there was no real peace in the world, and with foreign enemies around, the military generals still had the opportunity to get ahead. Qianlong attached great importance to the military generals, and at that time two people entered his sight, so Qianlong tested them.
Two warriors
Hailancha was one of the objects of Qianlong's investigation, although he was born into an ordinary family, he was heroic and good at fighting on the battlefield, which made him stand out among many small soldiers and was favored by his superiors. Qianlong saw that this person was often a pioneer, and thought that this person had the wind of a great general, and left a position for him in his heart.
Highlander had led troops in the war of the Dzungars, and had performed well, and was promoted to second-class bodyguard; and because the military industry accumulated ten percent quickly, it did not take long to become a first-class bodyguard.
And the competition with Highlander was Urden, a rich second generation, who received a good education from a young age and performed very well in all aspects, at first he did not enter the military camp, but became a royal bodyguard with the help of the family's strength, and later was appreciated by Qianlong and sent to the army for training.
However, the reason why the two were able to be rewarded by Qianlong at the same time was also due to the war in Jinchuan, originally there was no shadow of Urden in this battle, but because Highland cha was on leave due to illness, he let the deputy general command the whole army, but the deputy general had limited ability and was also shot by the ambush troops, resulting in a group of dragons without a leader for a while. At this time, Urden stepped forward, saved some of the situation, survived until Highlander recovered, and finally turned the tide of the war under the joint efforts of the two.
Those who have made meritorious service will certainly be rewarded, and Qianlong is even more pleased with the dragon's heart, and he must personally reward them and let them choose boldly.
Different options
As the second generation, Urden's ancestors would often teach him not to rush to make a quick profit, but when everything was at his fingertips, he couldn't help it! He asked Qianlong for military power: "The subject is willing to defend the four directions for His Majesty's command of the army, and promote the prestige of our great Qing country!" ”
Qianlong didn't say anything, just turned around and asked What Highlander wanted, Highlander climbed up step by step, he knew that those in power are very sensitive to the distribution of power, at this time try not to mention these things, others can give you, but you can't ask for it yourself, otherwise it will change its taste. So Highlander said that the emperor wanted whatever he wanted, but it was best to give it to two beauties.
Qianlong was happy when he heard this, and wrote a poem praising the merits of Highlander, and as for Urden's request, Qianlong selectively forgot and casually gave something to cope with the past.
In this way, Qianlong's attitude toward the two people changed drastically, and later the two went to the frontier to suppress the rebellion, but because of the influence of the climate and other aspects, they were defeated. Faced with such a situation, Qianlong directly beheaded Urden, and Highlander was only demoted, and later, he was reused by Qianlong again, which was the fate of the wrong choice.
The feudal dynasty as the emperor's word hall, he may not want you to be strong, but you must be loyal, too ambitious is not easy to control, and flaws are easier to grasp, which is the fundamental reason for the difference in treatment between the two.
