Highlanza was not only a fierce warrior, but also a wise and courageous military leader. He was ranked in the Purple Light Pavilion four times, which was the highest honor of the Qing Dynasty, which is enough to show his extraordinary talent and outstanding performance in military affairs.
However, his life has not been without his challenges, and he has been full of challenges and tribulations. Let's explore the legendary life of Highlanza and feel his courage, wisdom and fearlessness.
1. The birth of the Evenki hero
In the Hulunbuir steppe, a warlike Evenki tribe has been hunting and grazing for generations. The scenery here is beautiful, the grasslands are endless, and the herders ride their sturdy horses and gallop freely across the vast land. They are good at riding and shooting, brave and good at fighting, and are the masters of this grassland.
In such a legendary tribe, in the fifty-third year of Kangxi, an extraordinary baby boy was born - Hailancha. It was the middle of winter, and the howling north wind swept up the snowstorm, and the whole grassland was covered in snow. Suddenly, a loud cry pierced the sky, alarming the ministers in the distance.
The minister rushed to Hailancha's house, and when he saw this tiger-headed baby, he couldn't help but admire: "This son will become a great weapon in the future, and the Evenki people will be heroes!" After that, he gave Hailancha a tiger-headed hat, indicating that he will be as brave and good at fighting as a tiger in the future.
The prophecy of Hailancha's birth undoubtedly cast a layer of mystery over the child's future. It is said that he is the embodiment of the gods sent by the gods to protect the Evenks, and that he is the hero of the steppe.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing in Highlanda's childhood. From a poor family, he began to go out to herd from an early age and became the youngest shepherd boy in the tribe. But even though life was hard, he was never discouraged, on the contrary, he worked harder, studied his riding and archery skills hard, and soon stood out among his peers.
When the chief saw that he was skilled in horsemanship and archery, he entrusted him with the task of shepherding the tribe's BMW. Since then, Hailancha has become a "horse protection hero" on the grassland. He often rode after wolves to keep them safe, and his heroic deeds soon spread among the tribe. People say that this boy is the incarnation sent by the gods, the reincarnation of a tiger, which is why he is so brave and good at fighting.
Second, Rong Ma has made many miraculous achievements
At the age of 18, Hailancha enlisted in the army and began his military career. At that time, Bayar, a rebel general of the Dzungar Ministry, betrayed the Qing court and fled with his people, and the heavy responsibility of quelling the rebellion fell on the shoulders of the young Hailancha.
Although he was young, with years of experience in herding cattle on the grasslands, he soon discovered the traces of the rebels. He led an elite cavalry, day and night, and finally caught up with Bayar's troops in a valley.
In the valley, a fierce cavalry duel unfolded between the two sides. Hailancha took the lead and was invincible, and for a while, the golden iron horse, the sword and the sword, and the blood stained every inch of the land. At the critical moment, he saw the right time and led his own soldiers to attack the big tent where Bayar was located, and captured the rebel general alive. The rebels, who had lost their commander, were suddenly overwhelmed, abandoned their armor and dragged their troops, and fled in all directions.
In this battle, Hailancha defeated thousands of rebels with hundreds of cavalry, and the credit was not small. After returning triumphantly, Emperor Qianlong Long Yan Dayue personally met with this young fierce general. Emperor Qianlong couldn't help but praise Hailancha's calm answer, and immediately named him a second-class guard and ordered him to continue the rebellion.
Since then, Hailancha has moved to Mobei and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. Every time he went out on an expedition, he took the lead, charged into battle, and was invincible. Even the Dzungar cavalry, who had always been fierce, couldn't help but feel timid when they saw him. In the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong, the Jinchuan Rebellion broke out. In order to completely quell the rebellion and protect the territory and the people, Emperor Qianlong once again entrusted him with an important task and ordered Hailancha to go to Jinchuan.
Located in the western part of Sichuan, the Great and Small Jinchuan River has a treacherous terrain and strong folk customs, and it is a necessary place to invade Tibet. After Hailancha arrived, he did not attack rashly, but first sent scouts to find out the enemy's troop deployment. Then, he selected an elite cavalry and, under the cover of night, climbed over the mountains and attacked the enemy camp by surprise.
In this battle, Hailancha caught the rebels off guard with the tactics of surprise attack. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he led the main army to launch a fierce attack, besieging the rebels in the valley, and flanking them from front to back. After a fierce battle, the rebels finally collapsed, and the Great and Small Jinchuan were all pacified.
When he returned triumphantly, Hailancha was once again on the list of heroes, ranking eighth. Emperor Qianlong personally went to the Ziguang Pavilion to give him a banquet and rewarded him for "wisdom and bravery, invincible". Since then, the name of Hailancha has resounded all over the country, and it is as famous as the general Fukangan, and has become the "double bib" of the Qianlong Dynasty.
3. Mulan Qiuqiu bravely rescued
Every autumn, Emperor Qianlong would lead hundreds of civil and military officials north to Mulan to hold a grand hunting event. Located in the north of Chengde Mountain Resort, it is a vast primeval jungle and a hunting paradise for Manchu nobles. They rode horses, took their hounds, chased wild beasts through the forest, and enjoyed the hunt to the fullest.
As a popular person beside Emperor Qianlong, Hailancha is naturally also an important member of the hunting team. The autumn of that year was destined to be an extraordinary one.
As soon as the sacrificial ceremony ended, Emperor Qianlong couldn't wait to ride his beloved horse and lead the crowd to the depths of the jungle. Hailancha followed, not leaving an inch, swearing to protect the emperor's safety. Along the way, the hounds barked excitedly from time to time, startling the birds and beasts in the forest.
Suddenly, a huge wild boar rushed out of the forest and pounced straight at Emperor Qianlong. The situation was extremely critical, seeing that the wild boar was about to hit Emperor Qianlong, Hailancha suddenly grabbed the horse's belly, flew up, and hugged the wild boar with his bare hands. I saw that his arms were bruised, and he actually threw the wild boar to the ground alive and saved the life of Emperor Qianlong.
Emperor Qianlong was overjoyed when he saw this, and exclaimed: "Hailancha is worthy of being my fierce general, and he actually captured a pig with his bare hands, which is really brave and extraordinary!" The ministers also stepped forward one after another, praising Hailancha's heroic behavior.
The hunt continued, and the crowd was in high spirits and gradually dispersed. Emperor Qianlong came to an empty forest clearing alone, and suddenly, two colorful tigers sprang out of the forest and rushed straight to Emperor Qianlong.
Although Emperor Qianlong was a Manchu and his riding and archery skills were not bad, after all, he was the opponent of two hungry tigers since he was a child. He hurriedly turned his horse's head and tried to escape from the tiger's mouth, but the two tigers were in hot pursuit, and he was about to succeed.
At the last moment, two sharp arrows shot from the tiger's mouth, hitting the tiger's vital point. It turned out that these two life-saving arrows were shot by Hailancha. He saw Emperor Qianlong in distress from a distance, so he grabbed the horse's belly and hurried over, shot two tigers, and succeeded in saving the driver.
Emperor Qianlong recovered from his fright, and when he saw Hailancha and the two dead tigers, he was overjoyed. He pulled Hailancha's hand and praised him again and again: "Hailancha, you are really my lucky star! If it weren't for your quick eyes and quick hands to shoot the tiger, I'm afraid I would have died in the tiger's mouth!"
Hailancha hurriedly dismounted and pleaded guilty, and said: "It is within the duty of the minister to save the driver, and the emperor must not be frightened." Emperor Qianlong waved his hand and said, "You have made such a great achievement, how can I not appreciate it." "
After the hunt, Emperor Qianlong returned to the palace and immediately issued an order to seal Hailancha as a first-class guard and reward him with a thousand taels of silver to show his rescue skills. After Hailan thanked him, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the Jingshi is going to select the martial champion, I wonder if the minister is qualified to participate?"
It turned out that although Hailancha was strong in martial arts, after all, he was from a humble background and had never had the opportunity to participate in the selection of martial champions. Now that he has made a great contribution to the rescue, it is a good opportunity for him to show his skills. When Emperor Qianlong heard this, he smiled and said: "You are my savior, how can you not be allowed to run for election." I will order you to participate in the selection of the martial champion, and you must win the championship in one fell swoop!"
Fourth, the legend of loyalty and courage has been passed down through the ages
Hailancha won four battles and four victories, and he could have risen to prominence in the court, but he was willing to fight for Emperor Qianlong and continued to fight on the battlefield for Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong praised him and asked him why he was able to perform miraculous feats repeatedly.
Hailancha said humbly that it all depends on the trust and appreciation of Emperor Qianlong, as well as the riding and archery skills he has learned since he was a child. He said that he was born in the grassland, and learned to ride and shoot from an early age, which is the housekeeping skill of nomads. Later, he followed many famous generals to learn the art of war and strategy, which led to today's achievements.
When Emperor Qianlong heard this, he nodded again and again, and said: "I promoted you back then, because I took a fancy to your bravery, good fighting and loyalty to the country. Now you have indeed lived up to my expectations and made great contributions to the country. I want to reward you well, so that everyone in the world knows that if you are loyal to the king and serve the country, you will be rewarded!"
After that, Emperor Qianlong immediately issued an order to seal Hailancha as a first-class super brave duke, gave him a large number of gold and silver treasures, and built a mansion for him, so that he could enjoy his old age in the capital. Hylancha was grateful for this, and thanked him again and again for his grace.
But what Emperor Qianlong didn't expect was that although Hailancha was in a high position, he never forgot his duty. He got up early every day to practice martial arts, studied the art of war diligently, and did not slack off at all. Once, Emperor Qianlong paid a private visit and came to Hailancha's mansion and was surprised to see him sweating and practicing his sword in the courtyard.
Emperor Qianlong stepped forward and asked, "Hailancha, you are now an official of the imperial court, why do you still practice martial arts so hard?" Hailancha put down the sword in his hand, bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, although the minister is in a high position, the minister's foundation is still a martial artist. Practicing martial arts to strengthen one's body and defend one's family and country is the minister's lifelong pursuit. If the minister slacks off in martial arts, he will betray the emperor's trust and appreciation. "
When Emperor Qianlong heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and said: "No wonder you were able to paint the Purple Light Pavilion four times, it turns out that you have been studying hard and practicing hard and have never relaxed." I only learned today that you are not only strong in martial arts, but also have such noble sentiments. I really admire it!"
The story of Hailancha soon spread all over the country. People say that he is a true hero, not only martial arts, but also loyal to the country, which can be called a model for a generation. Many young people follow his example and aspire to be heroes like him.
