The traitors mistakenly lost the country and the hero died, and the monuments of the ages were illuminated.
The Qing Dynasty is an extremely complex dynasty in people's minds, because the Qing Dynasty has two extremes, and its early period experienced an extremely glorious period of prosperity, but in the end it was eliminated because of its feudal corruption.
Looking at the history of the development of the Qing Dynasty, in its most glorious Kangqian prosperous era, in addition to the emperors working hard to govern, the ministers also performed their duties, and there was a clean and honest wind above the court, and the traitors had nowhere to hide, but in the late Qianlong period, such a trend began to change, because there was a famous traitor in history, He Yan.
He Yan was an ambitious and intelligent man who embezzled a lot of money while fighting for his power and secretly retaliated against many officials he was dissatisfied with.
Of course, not all people can be bullied by him, such as the first general of the Qing Dynasty, Ah Gui, who once used only one sentence to make Hezhen ashamed and hateful. So, what did Ah Gui say, and what kind of existence did he have?
General Ah Gui, full name Zhang Jia Ah Gui, was a famous general during the Qianlong period and a Manchurian Zhenglan Bannerman. In fact, according to the hierarchical distribution of the Manchu nobility, the status of the Zhenglan Banner was not high, but later Ah Gui made great achievements with his own efforts, and finally became the Zhengbai Banner.
Ah Gui's father was a scholar of Actun University, and since there was no chancellor in the Qing Dynasty, the official position of a university scholar was equivalent to the status of a chancellor, with a high position of authority, which could be said to be above ten thousand people under one person.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ah Gui has a very high starting point, so he can have the opportunity to enter the Taixue To study, and then take the meritorious name and officially enter the shi.
Of course, even though the Qianlong Emperor was very important to Ah Gui's father, Ah Gui and his father were still two people in his eyes, and how Ah Gui's official path went depended on how much effort he had made.
In the beginning, Ah Gui did perform very well, very energetic about everything, and he rose step by step because of this, but the official arena is like a battlefield, and even if he tries hard, he can't always be smooth.
After a few years as an official, he ushered in his first defeat, when he was working as a silver waiter in the household department, and during his tenure, the warehouse was stolen, but he could not find out in time, which made the emperor very angry and ordered him to be demoted.
Later, Ah Gui was directly driven home by the emperor because he made a big mistake, but because his father was a university scholar, the emperor looked at his face and called Ah Gui back in the next year.
It turned out that the Qianlong Emperor's decision was correct, because after Ah Gui matured, he showed amazing military talent and became a sharp knife, helping Qianlong to complete many great causes of recovery.
Qianlong was an ambitious emperor who hoped to be able to completely solve Aksu's legacy during his reign. Therefore, when the Dzungars were too busy to take care of themselves, he quickly launched an attack aiming at the opportunity, and sent Ah Gui as the leader of the general.
Ah Gui lived up to expectations to win the battle, so Qianlong was very satisfied with him, so when the remnants launched a rebellion, he asked Ah Gui to lead the troops to resolve the dispute, and then simply let Ah Gui stay here and take charge of the jurisdiction here.
General Ah Gui held a heavy army many times in his life, and made great military achievements for the Qing Dynasty to pacify Ili and pacify the large and small Jinchuan, and was deeply respected by the Qianlong Emperor, and finally paid homage to the university scholar and military minister.
Based on this, Ah Gui's position in the imperial court was unshakable, and what kind of faith he had in the hearts of the generals, whether it was Qianlong or the civil and military officials, had a number in their hearts.
Therefore, when Hezhen thought that he had power and wanted to provoke Ah Gui, he was directly intimidated by Ah Gui's words, and he also suffered a dumb loss, which made the emperor very dissatisfied with him.
It was in the forty-third year of Qianlong, when a large-scale uprising occurred in the Gansu region, and Qianlong, seeing that the position was somewhat large, ordered Ah Gui to lead his troops to pacify it, and at the same time, because Hezhen was gaining the trust of the emperor at this time, Qianlong appointed him as the minister of Chincha and went with Ah Gui.
Ah Gui was more than thirty years older than He Yan, and He Yan was supposed to be his junior, he had no reason to deal with He Yan, plus Ah Gui was already standing at the peak of power, so for a child like He Yan who was fledgling in his eyes, Ah Gui did not pay attention to him at all, nor did he rarely bother to deal with him.
However, he couldn't figure out his position, thinking that he was now gaining the emperor's heart, so he didn't take Ah Gui in his eyes.
In the process of the two rushing to Gansu together, Ah Gui, because of his unwell, let Hezhen take the lead and then returned later, but because Hezhen was a typical traitor in the court, the soldiers in the military camp looked down on him, and after he arrived at the military camp and began to dispatch, no one obeyed his command.
He was very angry when he was in the dynasty, and where he had suffered such humiliation, he was very angry, so when Ah Gui arrived, he immediately complained to him, saying that these soldiers were disobedient.
As soon as Ah Gui heard that, he had a number in his heart, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to teach He Yan a lesson, so he ignored He Yan, but instead raised his own account and sent troops, only to see him give an order, and the soldiers who could not command he could not command quickly moved and acted completely according to the command.
This move made Hezhen's face very ugly, and Ah Gui asked him at this time: "The generals do not see their slowness, when who is to blame?" ”
It means that none of you soldiers are loose, so who do you think you should kill?
This sentence made He yan ashamed and hateful, but he could not say a word of rebuttal. When the Qianlong Emperor learned of this, he immediately ordered He yan to return to the capital and severely scolded him.
This man was the first general of the Qing Dynasty, and he said a sentence that made Hezhen ashamed and hateful, but he could not refute it. This general was general Ah Gui of the Qianlong period.
During his tenure as an official, he did many important things for the Qing Dynasty, made countless military achievements, and not only won the love of the soldiers and the respect of the hundred officials in the DPRK and China, but also won the respect and trust of Qianlong.
Therefore, when He yan complained to Ah Gui for disobedience, and Ah Gui replied to him with an understatement, the matter reached Qianlong's ears, he almost immediately understood He Yan's careful thinking, so he immediately recalled him and reprimanded him.
It can be seen from this that the position of He Yan in Qianlong's heart is far less important than ah gui, and after this incident, he yan finally recognized this and never dared to take the initiative to provoke general Ah Gui again.
