Historically, the Qianlong Emperor was a very confident emperor, and in the face of his enemies, he was able to strike at them without hesitation, and was even willing to bet on the fate of the whole country. But in the same face of his friends, the Qianlong Emperor was also able to reward him without hesitation, and he always had something to give.
Logically, if you can help the Qianlong Emperor, you will definitely be able to get a very rich reward. However, history records such a thing, there is a Qianlong loyal bodyguard, once saved Qianlong's life while hunting, according to theory, this is a great contribution, can get a huge reward.
But what is strange is that the reward this person wants is actually no gold and silver jewelry, no promotion and knighthood, just a fat palace girl. Many people see that this place is full of question marks, this kind of demand is simply more incomprehensible than Fang Tangjing, so what is the logic behind this move?
Historically, we have often seen all kinds of strange things, but also some strange requests. For example, when Empress Xuan, the mother of King Xuan of Qin, chatted with Korean emissaries, she once made a special request, and was even ridiculed by history as the empress dowager's love of telling yellow paragraphs.
For another example, in Zhou Xingchi's Nine Pin Sesame Officers, Fang Tangjing, as the first division, was very arrogant in the face of Zhou Xingchi, and even made a ridiculous request: Come and beat me, stupid. As a result, he was beaten up by the crowd, and Zhou Xingchi was even more ridiculed, and he had never heard such a request in his life.
Whenever we see these incredible bridges, we can't help but laugh, and even sigh that there are no wonders in the world. However, perhaps we will not think of these strange phenomena recorded in historical documents, in fact, there is a lot of exquisiteness behind it, but it is not simple or absurd. Why? For example, the story between Qianlong and his bodyguards mentioned in this article is worthy of our reflection.
According to historical records, the Qianlong Emperor once had a very good minister of bodyguards by his side, and this person's name was Hailancha. The historical record of this person is also a legend of a generation.
In the beginning, he was the minister of bodyguards around Qianlong, somewhat similar to Hezhen. Later, because there were more wars during the Qianlong period, he went out with the emperor. On the battlefield, this man showed exceptional fierceness and superb martial arts, so the Qianlong Emperor admired him very much and even promoted him to a first-class bodyguard.
In most records, the Qianlong Emperor was very appreciative of this position, because this person was absolutely loyal to himself, and he always knew how to advance and retreat, and even had good military qualities. Therefore, later, the Qianlong Emperor emphasized the promotion of this person, hoping to turn his bodyguards into generals who stood tall in the sky.
Thus, in the later war against Burma, Highlander stood out. At that time, the battle was very fierce, and the enemy army also had elephants in battle, and the casualty rate of the Qing Army was very high. But in such a critical situation, Highlander was like a steel knife, wherever there were many enemies, he rushed to wherever there were, and each time he returned with a body of blood, holding the enemy's head and throwing it to the ground, his posture was extremely domineering. The Qianlong Emperor was extremely satisfied with him, and even wrote poems to praise him.
Of course, participation in the burmese war was only the beginning, because then he and the Qianlong Emperor moved to the Battle of Jinchuan. According to historical records, this great war was even more tragic than the previous war, because this time the Qing Dynasty mobilized a large number of troops, even to the point of gambling on the fortunes of the country, and the generals who participated in the war were killed and dismissed in large numbers.
At some critical junctures, even the Qianlong Emperor was seriously ill, and everyone was in a slump, and even doubted that this battle might be lost. In this case, Highlander was still moving forward, and in order to boost morale, he took a small number of clear troops and directly attacked the opposing musket array. In order to make the emperor better, the general took the lead every time, and repeatedly cut off the opponent's general flag to soothe the emperor's illness with a triumphant sound. Even in the crisis situation at that time, this person braved the rain of bullets to save the Qianlong Emperor, and he himself was seriously injured.
In the end, the Qing Dynasty won this great war, and the Qianlong Emperor was even more proud to declare that he was invincible in the world, but a perfect old man. Of course, stimulated by the victory, the Qianlong Emperor naturally would not forget his bodyguards, so he was determined to give Hailancha a big reward.
At the feast, the Emperor swore in public that there was a great deed in Highlander, so that the Emperor would grant him a wish, which could be anything.
To know that this wish is incredible, it is already equivalent to one of the three wishes of Aladdin's lamp. If it is an ordinary person, he will definitely open his mouth to a knighthood, or to grasp more military power, and even to have inexhaustible glory and wealth for future generations.
But no one thought that the general fell to his knees, and he only made one request, but this request was stunned, and everyone, even the face of the Qianlong Emperor, twitched. So what the hell is the surprised crowd? The answer was simple, it turned out that the general's request was actually to want a slightly fat-looking palace girl next to Qianlong.
You know, what a temptation it is for a wish to fulfill anything, but this general seems to be a fool, and he actually wants an ordinary palace girl, and he doesn't look very good. So for sure, there were many people around who mocked the general for his stupidity, and the Qianlong Emperor twitched his face, but the words could not be taken back, so he gave him the palace maid with a smile.
As a modern person, if we see this paragraph in the TV series, we will definitely be furious, and even want to complain that this is a bad drama, and we must scold the screenwriter fiercely. But in fact, this matter also has a certain logic behind the absurdity, and if this matter is compared with reference, we will find the wisdom behind it.
According to historical records, in addition to Highlander at that time, there was another general who also made great achievements and was also given a chance to fulfill his wishes, and this person was Ulantu. According to records, Ulantu wanted more soldiers and horses to open up territory for Qianlong.
So what happened to this person? The answer was simple: after the war, he was expelled from the center of power and has been suppressed ever since, and even his death is said to have died unnatural.
Seeing this, I believe everyone understands that in fact, where is this strange request, this is purely a manifestation of political wisdom.
It should be known that at that time, Hailancha was already a first-class super brave, and at the same time he was very prestigious in the army, plus he himself was Qianlong's close bodyguard. It can be said that he has become a person for himself, and what he has to do now is to keep a low profile, not to be rewarded.
Therefore, in the face of the emperor's reward, he only asked for a woman, but in order to show that he would not be impressed by the beauty and then betray the emperor, he just asked for a fat palace girl. This means that he is easily satisfied, and at the same time will not be moved by the female color, which is a good avoidance of the Qianlong Emperor's suspicion of him.
Therefore, all the people who can appear in history are not simple people, and we may think that their behavior is very funny, but there are thoughts behind them.
