In the long river of history, all dynasties with strong national strength can often make countless small countries around them submit to obedience. In order to rely on the big countries, these small countries did not hesitate to sacrifice a large number of rare treasures, and some even sent noble princesses to make peace with them, so as to seek the protection of the big countries.
During the Qing Dynasty, Dzungar was such a existence.
During this period, they paid tribute to Qianlong, and later, they were honored by Qianlong as Concubine Rong and favored. In the TV series, Xiangfei is the daughter of the Dzungar nobles Ali and Zhuo, and at that time, the Dzungars have already submitted to the Qing Dynasty. Speaking of the submission of the Dzungars, there is an inseparable relationship with a person, his name is: Emin and Zhuo.
In fact, this person is the prototype of the TV series Ali and Zhuo. Moreover, he was born as a nobleman of the Dzungars, and lived in Lukqin. Emin and Zhuo were not small officials in Dzungar, called: Achimu Burke. This official originally did not have it, it was their Dzungar language, in short, he was mainly in charge of the affairs of a city, which was considered to be the official position of Zheng Sanpin.
Speaking of which, it was already during the Kangxi years of Qianlong's grandfather, when the Qing army marched west to Emin and Zhuo led the crowd to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Since he is the lord of a city, people must also have a little status. Therefore, what he brought to Daqing was a strong cavalry unit. This unit, later, can be said to have made great contributions to the Great Qing.
Of course, in the eyes of the Dzungars, Emin and Zhuo were betraying the Lord's business of seeking glory, and no one could bear it. As a result, Dzungar repeatedly sent troops to harass his garrison of Lukqin. Emin and Zhuo are not vegetarians, you come to fight me, of course I have to fight back, Emin and Zhuo led the Uyghur masses in Lukeqin City to cooperate with the Garrison Qing army, held the city for more than 40 days, and also won many battles.
During this period, they not only repelled multiple attacks by more than 2,000 enemy troops, but also "killed more than 200 thieves and wounded many people." In the eleventh year of Yongzheng, he really couldn't stand such a dark conquest, so he simply left and ran to the Gansu area to garrison. In order to reward the Turpan Uyghur masses for this relocation, the Qing government specially named its leaders Emin and Zhuo as "Auxiliary Dukes of Zasak".
Later, in the Qianlong period, Qianlong was a master who could not rub sand in his eyes, so during the Qianlong period, he wanted to completely kill Dzungar and recover Ili. At this time, Emin and Zhuo became his most powerful assistants. Emin and Zhuo led three hundred troops to victory, and because of their bravery and good fighting, they were added to the rank of knight and marched to the top.
Although the Central Plains are rich, Xinjiang is where Emin and Zhuo grew up, and after leaving for a long time, it is inevitable that the thought of the old garden will appear. Twenty-one years after Qianlong, he led his people back to Turpan. As soon as he returned, the clan gave him a big surprise - MangGarik launched a rebellion, killed the Qing defenders, and also threw Emin and Zhuo with him.
At this time, Emin and Zhuo had already received the grace of the Qing Dynasty and were imperial court officials, so how could they still have their hearts set on Dzungar. Therefore, he immediately went to the imperial court and created excellent conditions for the counterinsurgency of the imperial court. In return, he was once again rewarded. The following year, two stations in southern Xinjiang were plundered by the remnants of the Dzungar Kaldan separatist forces, and even killed soldiers stationed in Taiwan.
At this time, Emin and Zhuo, as if they regarded themselves as ministers of the Qing Dynasty, had long forgotten their days in the Dzungars. Therefore, his first reaction was to lead the counter-insurgency. When the reinforcements of the imperial court arrived, he fought side by side with the reinforcements, glued to each other for more than four months, and finally, it was considered to keep the safety and smoothness of the station.
Later, the size and Zhuo rebelled. Yamato Zhuo refers to Polonidu, the eldest son of the Kashgar people of Xinjiang, the Baishan sect of Islam and Dolma Hamut. Xiaohe Zhuo refers to Huo Jizhan, the youngest son of the White Mountain Sect of Islam and Dolma Hamut.
At this time, Emin and Zhuo had become the ministers of the Qing court in charge of frontier affairs, so he was also made a counselor and minister, and together with the Qing army, he suppressed the rebellion. In this fierce battle, Emin and Zhuo were wounded, but he insisted on fighting despite his wounds and held his position for three months, making a great contribution to the counterinsurgency.
After this rebellion was suppressed, the Dzungars recognized that they had a few pounds.
Therefore, for the sake of peace in the frontier, they chose to send concubines to An Sheji, and eventually, they dedicated their daughters and Zhuo Shijin to the Qianlong Emperor. In the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong, he Zhuo entered the capital with Turdu, and after entering the palace, he was named "He Guiren", and then, all the way, he was promoted to Concubine Rong, and he was honored with the sixth palace and ranked in the main position. From all kinds of points of view, Concubine Rong was deeply favored by Qianlong in order to have this status.
The following year, Qianlong made him the King of Duoluo County, and all things in Yeerqiang were under his control. Moreover, the throne is hereditary, the brother is the last brother, and the father dies and the son succeeds. Such supreme glory granted to a minority is truly unprecedented. In the forty-second year of Qianlong, Emin and Zhuo, who had been fighting for the Qing Dynasty's life in the south and the north, died of illness, and after his death, his son inherited his title.
At the time of his death, the Qing court immediately sent someone to mourn and rewarded him with five hundred taels of silver. In order to honor Emin and Zhuo for their outstanding military achievements in life, Qianlong once hung his statue in the Ziguang Pavilion in Zhongnanhai and personally inscribed: "The Turpan people, who were converted in their early years, ordered to praise military affairs in order to recognize their returns; they know everything and say nothing, and their hearts are unstoppable." ”
It can be said that the lives of Emin and Zhuo are full of legends, and he has made great contributions to national unity, the reunification of the motherland, and the promotion of agricultural production in the frontier. Eventually, under his influence, his sons, with the exception of his eldest son Nurmay Hammet, who died prematurely due to illness, the other seven sons all made brilliant achievements in the separatist activities of pacifying Dzungar and were commended by the Qing government.
From his appointment as King of the Counties to the end of the Qing Dynasty, he passed on the throne for a total of six generations and nine people, lasting 152 years. We have now been unable to verify what kind of mentality Emin and Zhuo Guishun had in the Qing Dynasty. However, in any case, in our eyes he is a man of the times and a man who has made outstanding contributions to the great cause of national reunification.
However, in the history of Dzungar, he is probably one of the few "models" of traitorous countries seeking glory. If history had been written by Dzungar, he would have been scolded to the point of inadequacy. Fortunately, Emin and Zhuo should be glad that their political vision at that time, choosing to submit, is equivalent to choosing the eternal flow.
