We know that in the past, there have been many dynasties, and the long-term peace and stability of a dynasty is inseparable from both the Ming Emperor and various talents, in addition to the civilian subjects, the military generals who fought on the battlefield also made great contributions to the imperial court, and there are many famous military generals in history. Figures such as Wei Qing, the victorious general of the Western Han Dynasty, Lü Bu, the fierce general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Li Wenzhong, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, all made great achievements on the battlefield, which promoted the stability of the country to a certain extent, and naturally received heavy use and praise from the emperor.
I believe that in some ancient court dramas have seen such a reward scene, some are the emperor directly reward things to the military generals, some emperors will directly ask the meritorious ministers what they want, often at this time, speak more carefully, if the emperor is identified as ambitious, the implicated can not only be themselves, and even affect the entire family, because the emperor asks, generally with traps, so to reward when speaking with great caution, and different rewards may have different fates.
The Qing Dynasty is the last dynasty of our ancient feudal society, and Qianlong is the qing emperor with the longest life span in history, through some film and television dramas on the image of Qianlong, people have a general understanding, he may be amiable, may be righteous and serious, may also be love brain and other various images, but the real Qianlong in history will be like those images in film and television dramas?
In fact, there is a certain gap, once he had different means of dealing with different rewards for the two military generals, resulting in the fate of the two military generals being very different, from which it can be seen that the image of the Qianlong Emperor in the film and television drama is not very consistent.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were many famous military generals, such as Highland and Urden, who were one of them, and after the two of them made meritorious achievements, Qianlong asked them what reward they wanted, one said that he wanted to be an official, the other said that he wanted beautiful women, but then the fates of these two people were very different, as if they were one day and one earth, what led to this result?
First of all, the two of them came from different backgrounds, Andrayal had an ordinary family, joined the Qing army with his own efforts, and then negotiated approval
Garbu achieved victories in the first battle, was promoted to a second-class bodyguard, and all the way relied on his own ability to have two official positions, namely riding lieutenant and Yiyun knight lieutenant, which shows that Qianlong admired him very much.
And Urden was from an aristocratic family, and by virtue of his family connections, he became a great internal guard in the palace, and Qianlong felt that he was very clever, and he would be a useful talent to cultivate in the future, so he sent him to the military camp, during which he also participated
permit
At the battle of Gar, he did not know Highlander at that time, and the two knew each other in the Battle of Jinchuan.
The battle began in Jinchuan, but the Qing army is not familiar with the terrain, it has been in an unfavorable situation for a long time, and then the imperial court dismissed the general Altai and sent another unit of Urden, at this time the Hailancha troops who rushed from Yunnan also came, but it was still very difficult, and one of the generals of the Qing army was sacrificed, and the imperial court sent troops to reinforce, in the process of waiting for support, Highlander and Urden fought hand in hand, preserving most of the troops, after the arrival of reinforcements, this battle lasted 5 years, The war, which had suffered heavy casualties, came to an end.
After returning, Qianlong asked the generals what reward they wanted, and at that time, Hai lancha said that he wanted beautiful women, Qianlong smiled happily, and immediately fulfilled his request, and Qianlong also wrote a poem highly praised. And Urden wanted the military power to be a high official at that time, Qianlong listened, there was no expression on his face, and gave him other rewards, why would this be? You know, the emperor valued the military power the most, and thought that those who demanded military power would have a high chance of rebellion, so they did not give Urden the military power he wanted.
Later, Qianlong was wary of Urden and gradually alienated him, and Highlander had been adding officials to the knighthood, and due to frequent wars, the two fought together again, but failed, and Highlander was dismissed from all official positions and still lived a rich life. Urden was beheaded, and after some time, Highlander was reused by Qianlong. This shows that the heart of the king is unfathomable.
