How great was the Kangxi Emperor, and why is he said to be an emperor through the ages?

When it comes to those who have made great achievements in the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, everyone often thinks of the Qing Taizu Nur Hachi and the Qing Taizong Emperor Taiji. These are the two key figures who established the Qing Dynasty, one is to fight the Ming Dynasty with seven major hatreds, and the battle of Salhu defeated the main force of more than 100,000 Ming troops, becoming famous in one fell swoop, becoming the beginning of the sixty years of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. The other was to annihilate more than 100,000 main forces of the Ming army in the Battle of Songjin, and since then the Ming Dynasty has no ability to compete with the Qing Dynasty, which first laid the groundwork for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and the other laid the foundation for the Unification of the Qing Dynasty. But let's not forget that their territory is not much, if any emperor of the Qing Dynasty contributed a lot to all aspects of the territory than the Kangxi Emperor.

How great was the Kangxi Emperor, and why is he said to be an emperor through the ages?

?? The Kangxi Emperor ascended the throne at the age of 8 and pro-government at the age of 14, reigning for 61 years, making him the longest-reigning emperor in Chinese history. In the early days of his administration, the domestic and international situation was very grim. In the face of the grim situation, he insisted on the large-scale use of troops to achieve territorial integrity and reunification. When the Kangxi Emperor was a teenager, he defeated the powerful minister Aobai, completely regained the power of the imperial court, and began the stage of truly pro-government. As an adult, the Kangxi Emperor sat in Beijing and won the war against San Francisco and Tsarist Russia; eliminated the Ming Zheng regime in Taiwan; conquered Kaldan three times and won victories; founded the "Duolun League" to replace the war and contact the Mongol ministries; and intended to ensure the territorial control of the Qing government in Heilongjiang by treaty. Strengthen the centralization of power politically; pay attention to recuperation, develop the economy, and attract Han scholars. However, the Kangxi Emperor flaunted benevolent government, and in his later years, he was tired and diligent, and the phenomenon of corrupt officials appeared. In addition, the struggle of various princes for the throne because of the incident of deposing the crown prince had a negative impact on the politics of the Kangxi Emperor in his later years. The Kangxi Emperor was the defender of a unified multi-ethnic state, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, and creating a great situation of the prosperity of Kangqian, and some scholars respected him as the "Emperor of a Thousand Years"?, Kangxi Sixty-one Years (1722) Lunar Calendar Died on the 13th day of the 13th lunar month in Changchun Garden, at the age of 69.

?? At that time, the Kangxi Emperor often summoned young guards to play "Buku" in the palace, and on May 16 of the eighth year of Kangxi (June 14, 1669), he suddenly ordered these guards to arrest Ao Bai when he entered the meeting. The chancellor consulted on the Thirty Articles of the Great Sin of Aobai and requested that the Kangxi Emperor recite Aobai's merits and pardon the death penalty and detain him, but he killed many of Aobai's brothers and nephews and henchmen, and soon Aobai died in the forbidden place. The only remaining auxiliary chancellor, Shu Bilong, was stripped of his titles as Taishi (太師) and Duke of the First Rank (一公) for his long-term collusion with Aobai.?? The Kangxi Emperor thus completely regained power in the imperial court and began a truly pro-government phase. After the Kangxi Emperor eradicated Aobai, he screened the officials and rewarded hundreds of officials for writing letters and saying things, prohibiting land enclosure and other maladministrations, and practicing the power of the government.

?? The second thing to say is to quell the rebellion of San Francisco, in March of the twelfth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1673), Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, requested to return to Lao Liaodong, but asked to keep his son Shang Zhixin to continue to guard Guangdong as a lead, which triggered a fierce debate over whether to withdraw the domain. In the end, the Kangxi Emperor believed that "the town of Fan had long held heavy troops, the momentum was large, and it was not a national interest", and decided to order the "withdrawal of the domain". In July, Wu Sangui pretended to ask for the withdrawal of the domain, and the Kangxi Emperor agreed. In November of the same year, Wu Sangui proposed to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan, killing Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Yunnan. In the following year, he sent an army to attack Hunan and capture Changde, Changsha, Yuezhou, Lizhou, Hengzhou and other places. He also sent people out to spread the text. Guangxi general Sun Yanling, Sichuan Governor Luo Sen and many other local officials rebelled against the Qing. Subsequently, Fujian Geng Jingzhong also rebelled. In just a few months, the six provinces of Yunnan, Qian, Xiang, Gui, Fujian, and Sichuan were lost, and for a time the Qing Empire was in danger. Subsequently, The Viceroy of Shaanxi, Wang Fuchen, and Shangzhixin of Guangdong also rebelled one after another, and the rebellion expanded to Guangdong, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces. The Kangxi Emperor's countermeasure was to resolutely attack Wu Sangui and never give him the opportunity to compromise and make peace; while he opened the door to other defectors in order to divide the enemy army, weaken Wu Sangui's wings, and thus isolate Wu Sangui. Under this policy, the Kangxi Emperor made Hunan the focus of military offensive, ordered Le Erjin and others to lead a large army to Jingzhou and Wuchang, confronted Wu Sangui head-on, and attacked Hunan, and ordered Yue Le, the Prince of An, to go from Jiangxi to Changsha to attack Hunan. In addition, the Kangxi Emperor also let go of the reuse of Han generals and Han soldiers to fight. In the fifteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1676), Wang Fuchen of Shaanxi and Geng Jingzhong of Fujian surrendered successively under the attack of the Qing army. Shang Zhixin of Guangdong also surrendered in the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1677). Shaanxi, Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi were all pacified successively. Wu Sangui was confined to a corner of Hunan, and foreign aid was slashed. The Qing army had already entered Changsha from Jiangxi, and its defeat had already been achieved. In March of the seventeenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1678), Wu Sangui was proclaimed emperor in Hengzhou, with the state name Zhou and the generals of the Great Seal. Soon after, he became angry and died of illness in August. After Wu Sangui's death, his subordinates would be succeeded by his grandson Wu Shipan and retired to Yungui. After that, the Qing army recaptured Hunan, Guangxi and Sichuan. In the winter of the twenty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1681), the Qing army attacked Kunming, Wu Shipan committed suicide, and San Francisco was pacified.

Immediately after the Pacification of the San Francisco Rebellion, the inclusion of Taiwan in the map was put on the agenda. Coinciding with the twentieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1681), Zheng Chenggong's son Zheng Jing died, and a coup d'état occurred in Taiwan, and the 12-year-old Zheng Kezun succeeded to the throne of Yanping, and the power was actually in the hands of Feng Xifan and Liu Guoxuan. The Zheng officials began to waver, and Fu Weilin, who was responsible for negotiating peace with the Qing Dynasty, was even willing to be an internal response. Yao Qisheng, the governor of Fujian, thought it was a good time to attack Taiwan and recommended Shi Lang to the Kangxi Emperor. In the 22nd year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1683), Kangxi made Shi Lang the admiral of fujian, sent an army to attack Taiwan, defeated the Zheng navy led by Liu Guoxuan at Penghu, and then Ming Zheng Natu surrendered. In the 23rd year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1684), the Qing government set up a prefecture (Taiwan Prefecture) in Taiwan, namely Taiwan County (present-day Tainan), Fengshan County (present-day Kaohsiung), and Zhuluo County (present-day Chiayi), which belonged to Fujian Province, and set up a patrol officer in Taiwan, a member of the chief military officer, two deputy generals, and eight thousand soldiers. There is a deputy general in Penghu, and two thousand soldiers. Thus strengthening the central authorities' jurisdiction over Taiwan and promoting Taiwan's economic and cultural development.

Secondly, after the Qing army entered the customs, the Russian Expeditionary Force invaded China's Heilongjiang River Basin many times, burning and looting, and encroaching on Chinese territory everywhere. In September of the 22nd year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1683), the Qing court ordered the Russian invading army entrenched in Yaksa and other places to withdraw from the Qing territory. The Russian army ignored it, but instead led its troops to Aihun to plunder, and the Qing general Sabsu defeated him and burned the strongholds established by the Tsarist army in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, making Yaksa an isolated city. But the Russian army stubbornly resisted. On the twenty-third day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1685), in order to completely eliminate the Russian invasion, the Kangxi Emperor ordered the capital Peng Chun to go to Aihun and capture the city of Yaksa in a few days, that is, to return to the division, leaving some troops to garrison Aihun and send troops to Tuntian in Aihun and Morgen (present-day Nenjiang, Heilongjiang) to strengthen the defense of the Heilongjiang area. In the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1685), Tsarist Russia made a comeback and once again occupied the city of Yaksa. This treacherous act of the Russian army caused great indignation from the Qing government. Early the following year, the Kangxi Emperor received a report and ordered a counterattack. On July 24, the 25th year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1686), more than 2,000 Qing troops entered the city of Yaksa, besieged the city, and ordered the Russian invading army to surrender. The Russian general Alexei Tolbuzin ignored it. In August, the Qing army began to attack the city, Tolbuzin was killed by the Qing army, and the Russian army was replaced by the command of Cup dun and continued to resist. On August 25, the Qing army considered that the Russian invaders were stubbornly defending Yaksa and would have to wait for reinforcements, and considering the inconvenience of ship movements, horses, grain, and grain after the ice in the middle of winter, so they dug trenches on the south, north, and east sides of The city of Yaksa and besieged them, and sent warships to patrol the west river of the city to cut off the foreign aid of the defending enemy. The invading army was besieged, and many died of illness and disease. Of the 826 Russians, only 66 remained. The city of Yaksa was at stake, and the Russian regent Sophia hurriedly asked the Qing court to withdraw the siege and send envoys to agree on the border. The Qing court agreed to the request and allowed the remnants of the Russian army to withdraw to Nebuchu. After the Battle of Yaksa, the two sides concluded the Treaty of Nebuchu on July 24, 1689, the 28th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, stipulating that the Erguna River- Gelbiqi River - Waixing'an Ridge should be the eastern boundary between China and Russia, and the area north of the Heilongjiang River, south of the Waixing'an Ridge and east of the Ussuri River were All Chinese territories. Many people take this matter as Kangxi, but his exploits are obvious to all.

Finally, in the seventeenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1688), Gardan personally led 30,000 cavalry from Ili to the east, crossed the Hangai Mountains, attacked Khalkha, and soon occupied the entire Khalkha region. Tuxetu Khan Tsakhun Dorji and Jebtsundamba I decided to surrender, so the three khalkha tribes ran south in hundreds of thousands of ways and fled to the area of Uzumuqin in southern Monan, where they appealed to the Qing court and asked for protection. Kangxi placed them in Horqin to graze their cattle, while ordering Kaldan to strike and return to the west. However, Kaldan was arrogant and ignored it, but instead led his troops to the south and penetrated deep into the territory of Uzumuqin. In response to Kaldan's rampant southern offenses, Kangxi ordered the recruitment of soldiers and horses on the spot, strictly guarding against blockades, and on the other hand dispatching troops and preparing to attack northwards, successively breaking the Dzungar at UlanButong and Zhaomoduo. In February of the thirty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1698), Kangxi again issued a personal order in view of Gardan's refusal to surrender. Kaldan died in a state of rebellion. At this point, the battle against Kaldan in the Kangxi period ended, and the Northern Khalkha region was incorporated into the territory of the Qing Dynasty. After Kaldan's death, Tse-delving Alabutan became the ruler of the Dzungars. With the consolidation of his dominance and the expansion of his territory, ambitions for eastward expansion arose. With the support of Tsarist Russia, Tse-alabutan constantly attacked the important military towns of Kobudo, Barikun, and Hami held by the Qing army, and sent troops to invade Tibet. Because Kangxi sent troops into Tibet in time to coordinate with the Tibetan army to encircle and suppress, the Dzungar forces were driven out of Tibet.

Although in the end, the matter of the ninth son taking the concubine appeared, but in the end he still made up his mind to choose Yongzheng as the heir, and history proved that his choice was right, and he was a well-deserved good emperor! Throughout the life of the Kangxi Emperor, he is not only the longest reigning emperor in Chinese history, it can be said that his life is also legendary!
