The Gardan generation of Yuanxiong, the strength is similar to the Qing Dynasty, why was he finally defeated by Kangxi 3 personal conquests?
Kaldan and Kangxi were both historically prominent figures of the great generation, and the epic duel between the two men at the end of the seventeenth century was truly a chess opponent and a good talent. In the face of Kaldan's army, the Khalkhas chose to move south to avoid their attacks. In the Qing Dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor once again chose to march in person, personally leading tens of thousands of troops out of Dushikou as the Middle Route Army; and dispatched the Heilongjiang general Sabsu and the Fuyuan general Fei Yanggu to lead the large army to the east and west wings.
Kaldan, the leader of the Kaldan Khanate, was also a prodigy, and as a teenager Gardan studied under the Fourth Panchen Lama of Tashilhunpo Monastery and later with the Dalai Lama. Although Kaldan initially achieved some success in the campaign against the Qing Dynasty, with the personal expedition of the Kangxi Emperor later, Kaldan was no longer able to achieve victory as easily as at the beginning, and even began to decline.
In 1670 AD, Kaldan quelled the rebellion and became the new chief of the Dzungars. After that, he seemed to sigh, "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning?" "How am I better than Genghis Khan? He found a very good opponent. Kangxi was blind to the world at that time, knowing that Kaldan was coming, and was ready to teach this "boy" who did not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth a little lesson.
At that time, Kangxi was personally marching, but did not bring cannons and other super lethal weapons, plus this was a long-distance battle, the fierce Gardan army on the opposite side was killed and abandoned his armor and fled, this time Kangxi no longer dared to underestimate these Kaldan soldiers, he ordered to attack with heavy weapons such as artillery, and as a result, Kaldan finally tasted the power of the Central Plains weapons, and finally was killed and fled, Kaldan was too conceited, and was eventually destroyed by Kangxi.
