What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
On the side of the bed, will you allow others to sleep soundly?
If the Mongolian department of Qinghai and the Dzungar department of the northwest are connected together, forming a beacon of fire, it will be enough to threaten Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan. Once Shaanxi,Gansu and Sichuan fell into the hands of the rebels, the rebels could defend the danger. The rebels have geographical advantages and supplies, and are bound to compete with the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention the two divisions of the world, by then the rebel climate has become a reality, the advance and retreat will be free, the Qing will never have a peaceful day, and there is a danger of collapse at any time.
The two emperors of Kangxi and Yongzheng knew the truth. They suppressed and used it together, dividing and disintegrating the Mongol ministries. The goal is not to allow either side to continue to sit bigger. In that year, Geldan sent troops to invade and occupy the Khalkha Mongols in an attempt to unify all of Mongolia and compete with the Qing Dynasty. The Dzungar clan's strategy, Alabutan, cooperated with Kangxi, and Kangxi marched on Geldan three times, which relieved Geldan of the threat. After Gordan's death, Tse-delving Alabutan officially became the Great Khan of Dzungar.
In the Yongzheng Dynasty, in the fifty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1717), Alabutan sent troops to capture Lhasa in an attempt to establish tibetan rule. The Qing court sent Chuan Erdan (no such person in history) to attack, and Chuan Erdan ventured forward, resulting in the total annihilation of the 60,000-strong army. Kangxi had to find another good general, and in the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, the Kangxi Emperor appointed fourteen brothers Yinyu as the general of Fuyuan, the general of the general Wang, and led the army to suppress the rebellion. Yin Yu expelled Tserry Alabutan in 1720, maintaining stability in Tibet and consolidating the Qing Dynasty's position in Tibet. In the sixty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1722), Kangxi died, and Yin Yu returned to Beijing to mourn. Alabutan was able to retire completely, and in 1727, the once-glorious tyrant died. At this time, it was already the Yongzheng period.
Focusing on Lobzang Tenzin, Lobzang Tenzin is the head of the Qinghai Mongol and Shuote tribes. When Yin Yu was fighting against the Dzungar rebels, he helped the Qing army. Afterwards, the Qing court feared that Lobzang Tenzin would grow bigger and rewarded the other leaders, but ignored him. Lobzang Tenzin was certainly displeased, and he harbored a grudge and secretly gathered strength. In the first year of the Yongzheng Dynasty, Lobzang Tenjin coerced the Mongol tribes in Qinghai, and asked the king of Dzungar to help Alabutan to launch a rebellion, the rebels attacked Xining, burned and plundered, because the lamas of Qinghai Tar Monastery and Guolong Monastery were attached to the rebels, and they had a large number of believers, and the rebels were greatly strengthened, gathering as many as 200,000.
Yongzheng appointed Nian Qianyao as the general of Zhenxi and the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and controlled the military of the four provinces. Nian Qianyao led an army of 230,000 to surround Qinghai, with the purpose of severing the connection between Lobzang Tenzin and Alabutan. In the second year of Yongzheng, under the command of Nian Qianyao and Yue Zhongqi, the army of Zhenxi quickly quelled the rebellion and won a great victory in the northwest. Lobzang Tenzin fled to Dzungar, where he was arrested and returned to Beijing in the twentieth year of Qianlong, who eventually pardoned him.
At most, the Qinghai rebels gathered about 200,000 people, and their threat can be imagined. The whole Qinghai chaos, if it were not for the decisive decision-making of Yongzheng, Nian Qianyao, Yue Zhongqi and other generals commanded properly, the northwest and southwest might have become a pot of porridge. Although the Qing court successfully suppressed the rebellion, it also paid a huge price. As the Yongzheng Dynasty said, the war in the northwest was fought with money and grain, and the expenditure of more than 200,000 troops was almost hollowed out. Yongzheng had to negotiate peace with Tsera Alabutan after cutting off the threat of Lobzang Tenzin, which is an afterthought.
