It was not an easy task for a warrior to eat under the emperor. The emperors of the feudal dynasty gathered great power in one, and they were most afraid of someone rebelling against themselves, so the military generals with high merit often became the number one jealous role of the emperors. For example, Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, was himself a military general, and he said that the empress not only "released the military power with a cup of wine", but also established the Great Song State Strategy of "emphasizing literature and light martial arts".
The Great Song did not kill the literati doctor, but it was easy to kill a military general. In fact, if you look at history with the Song Dynasty as the center, in the past, there were Han Gaozu Liu Bang who killed Han Xin and other military generals, and later, there were Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang who killed Lan Yu and other military generals, and the crisis of the survival of the martial generals was not unique to the Song Dynasty, even if it was the last feudal dynasty, the Qing Dynasty.
The Qianlong Emperor reigned for a long time, so there were many military generals and courtiers in his dynasty. Fu Heng, Ne Qin, Ah Gui, Fu Kang'an and others we should have heard of, and today we are going to talk about another military general, his name is Hai Lan Cha. People who have seen a certain number of Qing Palace dramas must be quite familiar with this name, and there is indeed a Hailan Chaqi person in history, who was born from the Northeast Solun tribe.
The ancestors of Highlander were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and Highlander also became a Manchurian Yellow Bannerman, and was a good warrior among the eight banner disciples. However, he is not the only one of the Sauron clan, there is also another named Urden who is on par with Highlander. The first time the two men made their contribution took place at the Battle of Dzungar, when both Highlander and Urden, as the selectors of Sauron soldiers, went to the front.
The two fought bravely, rode and shot well, and were appreciated by General Zhaohui. Highlander became "Baturu" and was given a first-class bodyguard, and Urden was in a similar situation to his. Soon, the Qing Dynasty faced the Battle of Jinchuan again, and the two accompanied the army as deputy generals, and when the Battle of Jinchuan was in a dilemma, they designed to conquer dangerous areas and achieved a great victory, which was won by Qianlong in the forty-first year (1776).
When the large army class returned to the dynasty, there was naturally a celebration feast. Both Hiranza and Urden were awarded first-class marquisates for their merits, becoming representatives of the emerging noble warriors of the Sauron clan. Qianlong Dangdian praised the two men's battle achievements, rewarded them with dazzling eyes, royal horses, gold and silver ancient paintings, and other objects, and ordered people to record the portraits of the two of them.
At this time, the difference between Highlander and Urden was revealed. Urden first said: "The slave wants to serve the country, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he is willing to continue to lead the troops to pacify the four sides for His Majesty, make meritorious contributions, and ensure the eternal stability of the Qing Dynasty!" This was said very bluntly, and Ah Gui and the others standing next to them frowned, feeling that although Urden had great ambitions, he was not able to speak safely.
After Qianlong listened, he naturally praised Urden, and then turned to ask What did Highland Cha want? Highlander looked loyal and honest, and repeatedly said that His Majesty had given enough rewards, and that there were only a few concubines missing in the slave house, and if the slaves had any merit in the future, the emperor could give the courtiers a few beautiful concubines, and the courtiers would be overjoyed. Qianlong laughed after listening to it, and only reassured Highland cha that he would definitely satisfy him.
As a result, there was a rebellion between Big and Small and Zhuo, both Highlander and Urden were sent to quell the rebellion, but the reinforcements were delayed, and only a few hundred people were left in the 5,000 Qing army they led, Qianlong was furious after hearing the defeat, directly executed Urden, reprimanded Highlander, demoted him, but it did not take long, and found an opportunity to reactivate Highlandcha and make him meritorious. Hai Lan Cha lived until qianlong fifty-eight years (1793) died of illness, and received a good death, compared with the early death of Urden, you can see where his wisdom is.
