Introduction: During qianlong's reign, the Dzungar rebellion was put down at that time. It took four months to finally resolve the issue of the Dzungar rebellion. In addition to the Qing army, there was Ayuxi and Amir Sana, who surrendered to the Qing court, and together they united with the Qing army to pacify the Dzungars and also provided the Qing Dynasty with information on the Dzungars. But things are not as simple as they seem.
Amir Sana was originally the grandson of the Dzungar Khan, who helped Dawazi obtain the Dzungar Khanate. However, Amir Sana was not satisfied, and he continued to grow his power, and finally formed a situation in which he and Dawazi were at odds with each other. At that time, Amir Sana was figuring out how to solve Dawazi. So Amir Sana thought of the Qing court, and then he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing court joined forces with Amir Sana to eliminate Dawazi.
When they defeated the Dzungars, the Qing court was unaware of Amir Sana's ambitions. Later, several heroes who participated in the suppression of the rebellion were all canonized by the Qing court. At this time, the Qing Dynasty relaxed its mind and felt that the rebellion had been quelled and there was nothing else to do, but at this time, Amir Sana rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. At that time, he even attacked Ili and eliminated the Qing generals stationed there.
This act attracted the attention of the Qing court, when Qianlong sent a large army to Ili to suppress the rebellion. At that time, the large army sent was divided into two ways, and Amir Sana saw the Qing Dynasty attacking him, but his strength could not oppose the Qing court, and later Qianlong tried to solve the rebellion situation, and at that time, except for Amir Sana, the other Khans were all canonized. These Khan kings, who saw the benefits, all broke with Amir Sana.
This act really worked, they attacked Amir Sana at the same time, according to the situation at that time, Amir Sana could not fight hard with the Qing army, began to flee his career, Amir Sana chose to flee, fled to Kazakhstan. The counterinsurgency generals were unable to capture Amir Sana. At that time, Amir Sana had been hiding inside The Kazakhs.
Qianlong again sent troops to capture, this time, the Kazakh Khan of Kazakhstan did not want to offend the Qing Dynasty, knowing that Amir Sana was hiding in his own territory. He wanted to capture him and offer him to the Qing Dynasty so as not to cause disputes, but he did not capture Amir Sana. Amir Sana ran to Tsarist Russia. Amir Sana secretly colluded with Russia this time, but in the end he did not have a good result. He had smallpox in Amuel Sana, Russia, and after two or three months, he died.
After the death of Amir Sana, Dzungar no longer had a strong figure who could stand alone, and the Qing Dynasty completely solved the Dzungars and destroyed themselves. At that time, Qianlong was not young, and he could not leave such a mess to his descendants, after all, the Qing Dynasty had gradually shown signs of decline, and he could not miss the opportunity. Some people may not understand why Tsarist Russia did not hand over Amir Sana.
In fact, the eyes of the Tsarist Russia have been staring at China's Xinjiang region, they want to invade, this time there is an opportunity, they can take advantage of the Amir Sana rebellion. Want to achieve their goals. Therefore, Tsarist Russia refused to hand over Amir Sana to the Qing Dynasty, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity. Of course, Qianlong understood the ambitions of Tsarist Russia, after all, as the head of a country, he could see the situation very clearly.
Conclusion: If the Dzungar problem is not solved quickly, then the next problem is Tsarist Russia. If both events broke out at the same time, then the Qing Dynasty would not be able to confront them. Later, after Amir Sana had no use value, Tsarist Russia pushed the boat along the water and gave amir Sana's body to the Qing Dynasty, indicating that they could live in peace for the time being. Therefore, at that time, the pacification of Dzungar was of great significance to Qianlong. It was also a top priority for the Qing Dynasty. However, in the end, it was not exempt from the fate of being occupied. In the late Qing Dynasty, a large area of territory was occupied by Tsarist Russia.
