Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty was the fourth emperor after the Entry of the Qing Dynasty, and his father, the Yongzheng Emperor, worked hard and carefully to govern, leaving the Qianlong Emperor with a rich society and a rich national treasury, but because the Yongzheng Emperor focused almost all his work on recovering the arrears of the national treasury, rectifying the administration of officials, and implementing financial reforms, in addition to quelling the Rebellion of Lobzang Danjin in the early days of the Yongzheng Dynasty, he did not put more energy into war and peace. Therefore, the Yongzheng Emperor not only laid a firm foundation for the arrival of the qing dynasty in its heyday, but also left many border hidden dangers for the Qianlong Dynasty.
At the same time that the Qianlong Emperor led the Qing Dynasty to its peak state, the frontier tribes, vassal states, and neighboring countries also took advantage of the negligence of the Yongzheng period to slowly grow up, and in addition to the Qianlong Emperor's special hobby of "good and great achievements, poor soldiers and martial arts", although the Qianlong Dynasty was in a relatively peaceful period of "defending the Jiangshan", the number of wars launched was no less than that of the Shunzhi Dynasty and the Kangxi Dynasty during the "Fighting the Jiangshan" period.
The "Ten Perfections of Martial Arts", which made the Qianlong Emperor proud, could basically summarize all the large-scale wars of the Qianlong Dynasty, and in these ten wars, many Qing generals who were loyal to the king, patriotic, and had great achievements in battle emerged, among which Zhang Jia Agui, Fucha Fuheng, Doral Highlander, Fucha Fukang'an, and Wuya Zhaohui were the most prominent, and they were also the "gods of war" that the Qianlong Emperor deeply relied on and trusted. Then, if these five generals who have made meritorious contributions to defending the territory and have distinguished military merit are excluded from a single rank, what will be the result? Who will be ranked first and become the first military general of the Qianlong Dynasty?
Uya Zhaohui
First of all, as the eldest of the five generals, Zhaohui was a general from a civilian official background, he was born in Manchuria Zhenghuangqi, he was the grandson of the Yongzheng Emperor's biological mother Wu Yashi, according to the generation, he also had to call the Yongzheng Emperor's uncle, a cousin of the Qianlong Emperor who was relatively close. Zhaohui remained a responsible civilian official in the early stages of the war, mainly responsible for the supply of food and grass and logistics for combat troops. This identity was found in the battles of Jinchuan and Jungar, and was not directly involved in the battle.
The first direct participation in the battle or the cooperation with the large army to eliminate the residual rebel strength of the Dzungar Department does not indicate its military ability and combat level. In the twenty-third year of Qianlong, Zhaohui quelled the rebellion of Dahe Zhuo and won victory, which can be described as a famous war and a famous history.
Main achievements: Quelling the Rebellion of Dahe and Zhuo, ensuring the supply of grain and grass for the Jungar and Jinchuan Wars, and participating in some of the small wars in the above two battles.
Zhang Jia Ah Gui
Through the four dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing, Ah Gui was the only one of the five generals to be born, and was also a rare military general of the Qing Dynasty. With the prominent position of the Manchurian aristocratic family, Ah Guichu calmed down as soon as he entered the political arena.
Ah Gui's first real command of the battle was in the Second Jinchuan Campaign, which lasted five years after many bloody battles and won the second Jinchuan War. In the previous Pingding And Zhuohe Qing-Burma War, although he also participated in it, he did not serve as the supreme military commander and commanded the battle, although he had a lot of military achievements, but after all, he did not fully display his military ability. Moreover, at the time of the Qing-Burma War, the elder Ah Gui was only a deputy general of Fu Cha Fu Heng, which meant that Ah Gui was ranked after Fu Heng.
Main achievements: Commanded the Second Jinchuan War, participated in the First Jinchuan Battle, the Huibu Andzhuo War, the Qing-Burma War, and participated in the formulation of the strategy for the use of troops in the Lin Shuangwen Uprising and the Gurk War in Taiwan.
Fucha Fu Heng
Fu Heng was the younger brother of The Qianlong Emperor's original wife, Empress Xiaoxianchun, and as the Qianlong Emperor's most righteous cousin and brother-in-law, Fu Cha Fu Heng was the hardest and most powerful of the five generals. Under the special care of the Qianlong Emperor, Fu Heng was the military general who participated in the most battles in the early Qianlong Dynasty and directly commanded the most battles.
In the thirteenth year of Qianlong, the 28-year-old Fu Heng commanded the Battle of Jinchuan and surrendered the rebel leader Sha Luoben's father and son. The young Fu Heng became famous in the First World War, was given the title of a first-class duke, and became the most powerful person in the Qing court at that time.
Qianlong thirty-three years, as the supreme commander of the Qing-Burma War, lasted less than a year, the Burmese army took the initiative to strike peace, but at that time Fu Heng had been injured by the miasma of the land of Yunnan and Burma, and his illness was getting worse and worse. In the thirty-fifth year of Qianlong, in 1770 AD, Fu Heng died of illness at the age of 50. After Fu Heng's death, the Qianlong Emperor gave full affirmation to his brilliant life, and sent him a funeral in accordance with the funeral specifications of the imperial Qing relative "Zhen Guogong".
Main achievements: Commanding and winning the First Battle of Jinchuan and the Battle of Qing burma, and advocating and formulating the marching strategy of the Jungar War.
Doral Highlander
Hai lan cha was born in Manchuria with a yellow flag, and his date of birth has no evidence, which is a typical representative of the Evenk people who are fierce in their folk style and brave in battle. Hai lancha's life is full of legends, and he is one of the guardian deities who are deified by later generations to guard the integrity of the Qing Dynasty territory and defend the territorial security of the Qing Dynasty, which shows that his reputation in the folk is supreme.
In the twentieth year of Qianlong, when Hailancha first participated in the suppression of the Zungar Rebellion, he was only a low-ranking officer. After participating in the Qing-Burma War twice, he made many military achievements, was appointed as the deputy capital of Mongolia with a blue flag, and has become a high-level general. In the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong, he participated in the Battle of Jinchuan, made outstanding achievements, and was promoted to the position of minister of internal affairs.
In the later qianlong dynasty, Hai lancha followed Fu Heng's son Fu Kang'an to participate in the pacification of the Lin Shuangwen Rebellion in Taiwan and the Battle of Gurk in Tibet, and was also awarded the title of duke of the first rank.
The only major war department overseer who directly commanded the operation directly over Hailancha quelled the Gansu Huimin Uprising, but this did not fall within the "Ten Complete Martial Arts" and could not be counted as meritorious in this article.
Main achievements: Followed Fukang An to quell the Lin Shuangwen Rebellion in Taiwan, the Battle of Gurk;
Fucha Fukangan
Fucha Fukang'an was the third son of Fucha FuHeng, the nephew of Empress Xiaoxianchun, the most famous military general of the late Qianlong Dynasty, and the most favored and trusted military general of the Qianlong Emperor. In the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong, Fu Kang'an, who was born as a former imperial bodyguard, participated in the Second Battle of Jinchuan, and in the thirty-ninth year of Qianlong, Fu Kang'an, who was only 20 years old, led 800 soldiers to attack the enemy's bunkers, killed several enemy people to destroy the bunkers, and was specially praised by the Qianlong Emperor, thus beginning Fu Kang'an's life of fighting horses.
In the fifty-second year of Qianlong, the 33-year-old Fu Kang'an led Hailancha to Taiwan to quell the Lin Shuangwen Rebellion and won a great victory. Later, he entered Tibet and won the Gurk War in Tibet. The victory in the Gurk War is of great significance in the history of the Qing Dynasty and even in the history of China, which absolutely laid the political relationship between the central government of the Qing Dynasty and the Tibet region, and is of great positive significance in safeguarding the reunification of the motherland and strengthening national unity. Fukang'an was known as a patriotic general, well-deserved. With this merit alone, it is ranked first, and there is little disagreement.
Main achievements: Commanded the pacification of the Lin Shuangwen Uprising in Taiwan, commanded the victory over the Gurk War, and participated in the Battle of Jinchuan. It has made great contributions to safeguarding the territorial integrity of the motherland and the unity of the nationalities.
In summary, according to the editor's personal opinion, the five famous generals of the Qianlong Dynasty are arranged in the following order: the first place - Fucha Fukang'an; the second place: Fucha Fuheng; the third place: Zhang Jia Agui; the fourth place: Wuya Zhaohui; and the fifth place: Doral Hailancha.
The above ranking is only the personal opinion of the editor, and different opinions are welcome.
