A few years ago, a TV series called "Iron General A Gui" was very popular, in which the general Ah Gui played by Sun Xing was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but was there really someone in history? In fact, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was no "Ah Gui", but there was a famous courtier named Ah Gui, who fought with Hezhen and was also deeply trusted by the Qianlong Emperor.
As we all know, the reason why He Yan, as the first corrupt official of the Qing Dynasty, could still live a tasteful life was because the Qianlong Emperor turned a blind eye to his corruption, and as long as the holy family did not fade, He Yan could turn his power to the opposition. It can be said that in the entire Qing Dynasty, the only person who could make Hezhen feel afraid and dare not offend was the Qianlong Emperor himself. However, according to the analysis of historical data, it can be surprisingly found that Hezhen is still very afraid of a person, and does not dare to be arrogant in front of him. This person is the protagonist of this article, Zhang Jia Ah Gui, who is often called "General Ah Gui".
01 Although he "ascended to the throne" with his father's status, he made great achievements in battle
"Qing History Manuscript • A Gui Biography" Yun:
Ah Gui, Qianlong three years of people. At the beginning, his father yin conferred on dali temple, and he was transferred to the official department wailang, and the military aircraft department Zhang Jing.
From here, it can be seen that Ah Gui did not take the imperial examination, but entered the career by virtue of his father's merits, and was entrusted with a heavy position as soon as he took office, and did not have much function in the early stage, and he was promoted one after another.
Although Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department was of low rank, he had special treatment: Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department did not participate in the Beijing Inspection as usual, and his award was transferred to the Military Aircraft Minister at his discretion.
It can be seen how high the status of his father, Zhang Jia Akdun, was in the Qianlong Dynasty.
In the Qianlong Dynasty, more than one person relied on his father to enter the imperial court, and He Yan was named Sun Shan in the imperial examination, but he inherited his father's status as a third-class light vehicle lieutenant, and later entered the career with this identity.
Although both of them "ascended to the throne" by relying on their father's status, their life trajectories were completely different, Ah Gui became a heavy vassal of the Qianlong Dynasty by virtue of his military achievements, and He Yan rose step by step by flattering Qiankun.
Ah Gui made great achievements in battle in his life and made great contributions to the reunification of the country.
What made Ah Gui stand out was his involvement in quelling the Rebellion of Da ding and Zhuo.
Huo Jizhan rebelled, and for twenty-four years, he was ordered to go to Khoskuruk to negotiate from Fude. In August, the thieves were driven to Alecul, and then to IssyrKurul, and returned to the crowd.
In the twenty-second year (1757), Huo Jizhan killed the deputy governor of the Qing army, Amin Dao, and raised an army to stand on his own. The following year (1758), the Qianlong Emperor sent troops to recruit Dahe Zhuo, and Ah Gui participated in the counterinsurgency. On the battlefield, Ah Gui fought bravely and performed well. Ah Gui took the lead, personally leading hundreds of elite soldiers, "from the foothills around his right to attack", the enemy army was caught off guard, and the position was chaotic. The Qing army took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and the rebels suffered heavy casualties and fled in a daze. Together with the other Lu Qing forces, the Agui army was desperate to encircle the enemy again at the Isi Erku River (present-day Pamir West Of the Puchi River). Under the fierce pursuit and fierce attack of the Qing army, the enemy soldiers collapsed, and except for the enemy leader Huo Jizhan who fled in a daze, the enemy troops surrendered one after another.
What made Ah Gui famous was his participation in the Second Battle of Jinchuan.
He was awarded general Agui Dingxi, a bright and fengsheng deputy general, a counselor of Shu Chang, and the whole division was re-issued. In October, the capital was captured. With the Fanren Mutarce, the division entered from the middle and south, and the submarine army climbed to the top of the north mountain, so it took Mino, Bright and so on.
Due to the improper command of the main general Wen Fu, the battle was lost, and Wen Fu himself was killed. In 1773, Ah Gui was promoted from vice general to chief general. Ah Gui once again exerted his military talents, and he attacked the enemy in two ways, and under his correct command, he pacified Xiaojinchuan in just a few days.
Under the correct command of Ah Gui, after many bloody battles, the Qing army won a victory at the beginning of the forty-first year of Qianlong (1776). The Second Battle of Jinchuan, which lasted five years and killed more than 10,000 people, came to an end.
This campaign was listed as one of the qianlong emperor's "ten complete martial arts". Ah Gui's exploits can be described as great.
After the battle, Yu Yu was awarded the title of Wuyingdian University Scholar, and then later transferred the White Banner manchurian capital, and the president of the Yumu Museum, the National History Museum, and the Siku Quanshu, which can be described as a veritable "prime minister".
02 Investigate and deal with Wang Qiwang and Chen Huizu is not Ji Xiaolan but Ah Gui
In the iron tooth and copper tooth Ji Xiaolan, there are two plots like this: Ji Xiaolan skillfully used a strategy to investigate and deal with Wang Qiwang and Chen Huizu, and how Ji Xiaolan fought wits and courage with Wang Qiwang, Chen Huizu and others. Finally, these two corrupt officials will be brought to justice. But this is a fiction, and the investigation of Wang Qiwang and Chen Huizu is not Ji Xiaolan but Ah Gui.
Zhejiang's envoy Sheng Zhuan shu shu governor Chen Hui's ancestral home Wang Qiwang had a private family, and ordered Ah Gui to rule zhejiang.
In the forty-sixth year of Qianlong (1781), Ah Gui was sent to Gansu to quell the chaos, and when Ah Gui reported the frequent rain in Gansu to the imperial court, the Qianlong Emperor became suspicious of the fact that in recent years, officials from Gansu Province had repeatedly reported that there had been drought in the province and asked for relief. So he ordered Ah Gui and Li Shiyao, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, to investigate the matter. Ah Gui and Li Shuyao learned the truth after some understanding. The case began in the 39th year of Qianlong (1774), the year in which wang Qiwang, the former envoy of Zhejiang Province, was transferred to gansu. After he arrived in office, he colluded with the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Le'erjin, first changing the rice grains that were donated to the prisoners into two folded silver, and then falsely reporting the drought every year, and privately dividing all the silver under the pretext of using the prison grain to provide relief. Therefore, Qianlong sent the commissioner Lang Yang Kui to Zhejiang, and together with inspector Chen Huizu, Wang Qiwang, who was transferred back to Zhejiang, was detained and interrogated, and his family property was confiscated.
In the forty-seventh year of Qianlong (1782), someone accused Chen Huizu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, of committing fraud in raiding Wang Qiwang's family property. Therefore, the Qianlong Emperor ordered Ah Gui to go to Zhejiang to handle the case. After Ah Gui arrived in Zhejiang, after many inquiries, when he raided his home, he exchanged silver for gold, hid jade, exchanged chao beads, and investigated Wang Qiwang's crime of stealing stolen goods for his own, and Chen Huizu was dismissed from his post and arrested.
03 and Yan are also afraid of Ah Gui San
Historically, neither Liu Yong nor Ji Xiaolan was the object of fear for Jean Hezhen. Because under the favor of Qianlong, He Yan was very powerful, the promotion was as fast as sitting on a rocket, he took up an important official position in his 30s, and finally entered the military aircraft department, Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan were his subordinates, how could the superiors be afraid of the subordinates?
However, the iron general Ah Gui made He yan afraid of three points, and when He Yan entered the military aircraft department, Ah Gui was already the first assistant minister of the military aircraft, and He Yan could only obey his orders in front of him.
He Yan and Ah Gui sent troops to suppress the Gansu rebels. At the beginning, the Generals of the Qing Army were quite unconvinced by the flattery of Hezhen, who had come to power by Ah Chen, and often violated his orders, resulting in repeated defeats of the Qing army under the command of Hezhen. In order to shirk his responsibility, He Yan blamed the failure on the generals below. Ah Gui, who was ordered to rush to take over the post of commander-in-chief, believed that Hezhen's proposal shook the hearts of the army and should be dealt with by military law, but due to the urgency of the military situation, it could only be shelved first. It didn't take long for the rebellion to be put down by Ah Gui.
Afterwards, Ah Gui said to Hezhen, "All the generals have obeyed my orders, who do you think will be dealt with?" After hearing this, He Yan was very annoyed, and thus held a grudge against Ah Gui. Later, this matter was learned by the Qianlong Emperor, and he would reprimand him. After all, the Qianlong Emperor was not confused, after all, Ah Gui had worked hard and worked hard, and he still had to maintain it, and as a result, he suffered a dumb loss, and he no longer dared to fight against Ah Gui.
04 Ah Gui is not illiterate, a rare person with both culture and martial arts.
In the Iron General Ah Gui, Ah Gui was written as an illiterate person who could not read a few characters in large characters, and it was up to Tang Danian, a master, to write the folds. There are also a few inconspicuous people following around, which makes people stunned.
In history, Ah Gui was not illiterate, and it was rare to be a man of both culture and martial arts.
Ah Gui has been brilliant and sensitive since childhood, and he has been able to understand when he hears people talk about historical events, "remembering his general outline." In the tenth year of Yongzheng (1732), the sixteen-year-old Ah Gui entered the official school to study, and two years later he was supplemented as a scholar. In the first year of Qianlong (1736), he was a deputy gongsheng,
Later, he was reused by Qianlong for his military merits, and he also served as the president of the Siku Quanshu to preside over the compilation of the Siku Quanshu.
Although Ah Gui's poems are not as numerous as Qianlong's, and only a few poems have been handed down, they are far superior in quality to Qianlong.
The poem "Ili Barracks" written by Ah Gui. Great job.
Wanting to sweep away the demon qi, the rock frontier is endlessly fighting.
Man is still fighting for the horse, and the heavens are tired of it.
Diao Dou Three More Moon, Guan Shan Wanli Sorrow.
Qu Kui was destroyed on the other day, and he was not directly a marquis.
This is ah gui written when he was stationed in Ili, this poem is magnificent, without a certain degree of literary skill can not be written, it can be seen that Ah Gui is not only a general, but also a person with high cultural quality.
Among the many heroes of the Qing Dynasty, Ah Gui was a rare person who was both literate and martial.
05 History has memories, and the author has opinions
Ah Gui not only enjoys the honor, but also has a high lifespan, and he has walked through a total of 80 spring and autumn seasons.
After his death, Qianlong often visited his portraits.
In the "Portrait of twenty meritorious heroes who pacified Taiwan", Qianlong commented on Ah Gui:
"In the middle of the survey, there is no constant bright work." Consulting military affairs, every intention to give the same. Return to Xiangzan, cut the rebellion and eliminate the murder. Sandeng Purple Pavilion, Fu Hou Gong Chong. ”
He was reused during his lifetime and enjoyed the honor after his death. He was given the title of Taibao (太保), with the courtesy name "Wencheng", and was admitted to the Ancestral Hall of The Virtuous. Daoguang 3rd year (1823), with taimiao temple.
The author believes that Ah Gui has made great contributions to the reunification of the country, and it is natural to enjoy such treatment, but it is regrettable that he has not obtained the title of "Wenzheng".
For Ah Gui author has these two aspects of evaluation.
First, Ah Gui is a person with real talent and practical learning.
Although Ah Gui entered the career by relying on his father's relationship, his father died in his 30s, and later he was able to enter and exit for decades, all by his own strength, without strong strength, he could not be reused by Qianlong.
Second, Ah Gui was a rare minister of both culture and martial arts in the Qianlong Dynasty
In the Qianlong Dynasty, there were many famous courtiers, such as Liu Tongxun, Liu Yong's father and son, Ji Xiaolan, etc., but they were all civilian subjects. Liu Yong was known as the "Prime Minister of Thick Ink", but he did not enter the military plane, and could not be counted as "Prime Minister". His credit is also average.
Ji Xiaolan was also known as the "First Talent of the Great Qing Dynasty" and did not enter the military aircraft department, that is, Qianlong's imperial literati.
Ah Gui can be described as a minister of the Qianlong Dynasty who was both literate and martial, and wen could rule the country and wu could be an annunciation. Get on the horse to kill the enemy, get off the horse and write an article.
Ah Gui can be described as the real mainstay of the Qianlong Dynasty.
