Monk Greenqin, a famous General of the Eight Banners in modern China, single-handedly supported the Already Tilted Eight Flags Building at the time of internal and external troubles in the Qing court, maintaining the last trace of dignity of the Eight Flags disciples.
1. The Mongolian brother who has received the grace of heaven
On June 5, 1811, the monk Greenqin was born into an ordinary family of borzigit, and the young monk Greenqin followed his father to herd cattle for the rich. Fortunately, at the age of 12, the monk Greenqin, who was a disciple of Korqin, was sent to study, thus beginning the legendary life of the monk king.
The Horqin Mongols and the Qing Dynasty Aixin Jueluo family were married for generations, and the head of the Borjigit family, King Montenam dobu jaijun, married the daughter of the Jiaqing Emperor, but never had a son and a half daughter. It was at this time that the father of the monk Greenqin, who was both good at character and excellent learning, died young, so the king of the county adopted the monk Greenqin, who was both literate and talented.
Overnight, this unknown Mongolian brother became the little prince.
After the death of King Xian of Montamudob Jai County, Senggelinqin succeeded to the throne and became the king of Zasak Doro County in the Horqin steppe. Thus the monk king began his journey to the top of the clouds. Successively serving as the imperial minister, the military parade minister, the consular guard internal minister, the eight banners of the capital and other important positions, the emperor's grace and the use of the imperial court, so that his power increased day by day.
How could this young prairie king not be grateful for the constants? This is also the ideological root of insisting on carrying the banner of the Eight Banners in the future, maintaining the face of the imperial court, and vowing to be loyal to the Qing court in the future, no matter what the situation is.

Second, the fierce battle of the Taiping Army will fall to the building
In 1850, the Daoguang Emperor died, and the monk Gelinqin, as a minister of the Order, fully assisted the new lord Xianfeng Emperor. In the 3rd year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Army's Northern Expedition, the forward arrived at Yang Liuqing, which was only a few dozen miles southwest of Tianjin, and the Beijing Division was shocked.
The monk Gelinqin was ordered to go out and lead the elite of the Eight Banners, including Jianrui, Forward, Xiao Horse, and Escort Battalion, together with the Minister of Qincha, Shengbao, to resist the Taiping Army on the outskirts of Tianjin.
After 3 months of fierce fighting, the Taiping Army was forced to retreat due to the in-depth and backward support of the lone army, the southern fighters were difficult to adapt to the weather in the north, and they suffered heavy losses under the continuous charge of Senggelinqin.
In the 4th year of Xianfeng, the monk Greenqin turned to the counter-offensive and led his troops to pursue the Taiping Army to the town of Lianzhen in Dongguang County, Hebei Province, built a wall to dig a trench, and diverted canal water into the town, and the Taiping Army suffered heavy casualties.
Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement
In January of the 5th year of Xianfeng, the monk Greenqin was promoted to prince, and in March of the following year, the monk Greenqin attacked Lianzhen, and the commander of the Taiping Army, Lin Fengxiang, was captured and killed.
In April, the Xianfeng Emperor decreed that the title of Prince Gelinqin was hereditary, and the silver was doubled. Greatly encouraged, the monk king moved to Shandong to besiege the Northern Expedition Taiping Army commanded by Li Kaifang. Under the siege of the Qing army, Li Kaifang was forced to lead more than 800 remnants of soldiers to retreat to Fengguantun, and the monk Greenqin used the old method to divert the steep and frightening river water to irrigate the tun.
In May, Feng Guantun fell, and Li Kaifang was captured and sent to Beijing by the monk Gelinqin to be killed. At this point, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was completely destroyed. In this battle to suppress the peasant uprising, the monk Greenqin showed his aggressive and cruel side.
From the poor boy to the adopted son under the fence, from the county king of Korqin to the prince of power. All this was due to his status as the Eight Banners and the grace of the emperor, and the monk Gelinqin naturally understood it very well.
In the face of all the internal and external enemies faced by the Qing court, he had to fight them with all his might. After all, under the overthrow, there will be no end to the egg. Soon, his challenge came.

3. Shen Guowei obstructed foreign enemies
From the 8th year of Xianfeng, the British and French forces began to attack the coastal areas of Tianjin one after another, and in order to strengthen the defense, the Xianfeng Emperor ordered the monk Greenqin to go to Tianjin to supervise the defense of Dagukou.
In June of 99, the British and French ministers Prussia and Burblon led 13 gunboats to prepare to enter Beijing to exchange the treaty. Following the instructions of the Xianfeng Emperor, the monk Gelinqin informed the envoys of the two countries to land at Beitang, 30 kilometers north of The Dagu Pass. The arrogant British and French envoys ignored the Qing court's demands and openly opened fire on the Qing forts, and the monk Gelinqin ordered them to return fire, sinking 5 enemy ships and wounding 6.
This was a great victory that the Qing army had not won since the First Opium War, and everyone was happy for a while. However, this was not the main force of the coalition forces, not to mention, after suffering such a big loss, Britain and France naturally refused to give up.
At the beginning of August of the following year, it was really ''Wolf Coming''!
Led by Grant and Montbanto, the Allied fleet consisting of 18,000 British troops, 7,000 French troops, and 173 ships of various types advanced towards The Dagukou attack. The heroic resistance of the Qing army did not stop the strong ships and cannons of the Foreign Yi.
On August 21, Viceroy Leshan was martyred, the fort fell, and the coalition forces that rushed ashore like a tide killed the Qing army's front. Emperor Xianfeng ordered the monk Greenqin to retreat to the Bali Bridge to deploy the Gongwei Jing Division, and at the same time ordered Prince Yi and other nobles to go to Tongzhou to negotiate with the coalition forces, the arrogant Pasha Li refused the Qing court's request that the face saint must bow down, the Xianfeng Emperor naturally could not swallow this evil breath, in order to save face, the monk Green Qin was aimed at Zhangjiawan to capture And detain Baxia Li and his entourage.
This moment completely angered the Western bandits who came from afar. The tragic defense of the Bali Bridge thus began.
British Coach Grant
Located in the center of the triangle between Beijing, Tongzhou and Xiaowuzhuang, Bali Bridge is Beijing's last line of defense. The war had reached such a point that the Mongol prince could only repay the emperor's favor by swearing to die against the enemy. The monk Greenqin wrote to the Xianfeng Emperor and made a vow: "Slaves and others can only fight with them to the death.""
At 7:00 a.m. on September 21, the British and French troops were divided into three routes, from the east, west and south of the bali bridge defenders launched a fierce attack, Senggelinqin commanded the cavalry to launch a series of attacks on the coalition positions, in front of the coalition artillery in a row, most of the cavalry had not yet seen the enemy before they had been engulfed by artillery fire, and only a small number of cavalry were able to rush to the front of the enemy position.
At a distance of 50 meters from the enemy, the Great Qing Iron Horse maintained the last face of the "Heavenly Dynasty Strong Brigade" with blood and loyalty, this distance is the best position for the range of bows and arrows, they charged at high speed on horseback, and in the decisive battle of the disparity in strength, the Qing army still killed and wounded more than a thousand enemy people.
The defeat at Bali Bridge directly led to the opening of the gate of Beijing
Senggelinqin personally came to the front line, following the Mongols' usual strategy of "dividing the encirclement and annihilating one by one", commanding the cavalry to intersperse between the south and west roads of the coalition army, trying to divide the enemy's position.
If the coalition army also held a large sword and spear, the chance of success of the monk's plan would be close to one hundred percent, but the British and French allies were armed with foreign guns and cannons, courage and loyalty were important, but they were indeed powerless in the face of gunpowder weapons.
Minamiro Katsuho's forces were forced to retreat after losing their troops, and Senggelinqin's plan was not realized.
The next thing that every descendant of Yanhuang knew was so painful: the Xianfeng Emperor fled to Chengde; the Anglo-French army burned the Yuanmingyuan. Due to the defeat in the war, the Xianfeng Emperor's Edict of Yu also came: the edict monk Gelinqin was knighted and appointed, and the chancellor remained in Chincha.

Fourth, the final loyalty
In the 10th year of Xianfeng, the Twist army in the Yellow River Valley was everywhere, the Beijing Division was shocked again, and the monk Greenqin, who was idle at home, had the opportunity to make a comeback, and personally led more than 10,000 troops to Shandong to fight against the Twist Army.
Perhaps he did not expect that this might be the afterglow of his military career. However, in the face of the twister army with the same weapon, he regained his initial self-confidence.
In the 2nd year of Tongzhi, the monk king's troops attacked the Pheasant River Set and killed Zhang Lexing, the leader of the Twist army, which led to the monk king's excessive confidence in annihilating the Twist army, and excessive confidence led to excessive light enemies.
In the 3rd year of Tongzhi, under the leadership of Zhang Zongyu, the remnants of the Twist army merged and reorganized with the Li Xiucheng department of the Taiping Army in Tongcheng, Anhui Province, and in view of the monks and kings who came and went freely, the reorganized Twist Army "Easy To Step for Horseback", reorganized into a new Twist Army with cavalry as the mainstay, and changed to the strategy of "Luring the Enemy and Tired enemy", luring the Qing army to run back and forth in Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places for more than 3 months, and the Qing army was dragged tired.
In May of the 5th year of Tongzhi, the monk Greenqin, who had been dragged by the Twister Army's "Walking The Dog" style and "did not know the heavens and the earth, did not understand things", followed the Twist army into the Shandong Gaolouzhai area.
At this time, the monk king was already in danger, he entered a big situation under the twist army, on the afternoon of the 18th, the twist army ambushed in the high-rise village attacked together, and the Qing army fought in separate ways and was defeated. The monk Gelinqin was forced to lead the remnants to break through under the cover of night, and was killed in a wheat field when he fled to Wujiatun, northwest of Heze.
In the Battle of Gaolouzhai, more than 7,000 people under the monk king were all annihilated, and the strength of the Eight Banners was lost.

The life of Senggelinqin was a life of conquest, suppressing the taiping army and the twist army uprising, and also resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, and it can also be said that this is a legendary general who is "a layman in foreign wars and an insider in civil wars". In the campaign to suppress the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he showed his superb military ability and quickly calmed down the bandits.
During the Battle of Dagukou, emperor Xianfeng had high hopes, and he also thought about establishing meritorious service, saying in his letter to Emperor Xianfeng: "Slaves and other only overseers and soldiers, try their best to prevent blockades, in order to express the prestige of the country and the people.' ''
At this time, the British and French allies were generally equipped with breech guns, and the weapons of the Qing army were still shotguns, large knives and spears, and despite the huge difference in armaments between the two sides, the monk Greenqin still swore to die with his loyalty and courage. But war is war, and it needs not only loyalty and courage, but also iron blood.
The Death of the Monk King Eight Flags Folding Pillar
The slogan of 'Affirming the Prestige of the Nation on the Top, Expressing the People's Hope' is certainly inspiring, but it cannot be transformed into a bullet, let alone kill or injure the enemy. The defeat of the Qing army is not the defeat of man, but the defeat of the artifacts and the defeat of the system.
If it was the same weapon, the Westerners who came from afar were not the opponents of these Manchu cavalry who came and went freely, but the British and French allies armed with foreign guns and cannons had already occupied the absolute initiative on the battlefield when they faced the Eight Banners with waist knives and bows and arrows. From the moment he arrived in Tianjin, the monk Greenqin was already doomed to his defeat.
If he died at the forefront of the resistance to foreign aggression, his aura would be dazzling. Unfortunately, he did not die in the 'foreign war'', but in the 'civil war''.
In 1865, the monk Gelinqin died on the front line of the suppression of the Twist army, and the news returned to the city of Beijing, and the government and the public were shocked. The Qing government built a shrine to honor the prince who fought for him all his life, and the glory of the Eight Banners passed away. Next is the era of Han regimental training of "Northern Huainan Xiang", when the power of the Great Qing Dynasty fell by the wayside, and the power of supervision in various places was successively controlled by the Han people until the Qing Dynasty.
