He was the brother of Zhenfei, the last general of Ili, why was he a cattle man in the eyes of historians, a sinner of the revolution

Ili General's Mansion

In 1912, the Xinjiang Revolutionary Party launched an uprising in Ili aimed at overthrowing the Qing government. The revolution went well, but the only and ultimate target of the uprising, General Ili, was gone.

The officers and men of the uprising searched door to door in the old and new camps, and finally, while searching for the home of the old Manchu camp's assistant leader Ulge Chun, they found a white horse and prepared to pull it out. At this time, the courtman of the Ukrainian Association frightened the revolutionary army: "This is the general's horse, do you dare to pull it out?" "When the revolutionary army heard, since it was the general's horse, there must be a general here!" He then searched the courtyard carefully, and finally searched out the last Manchu general, Ili, in a reed pile.

This General Ili is our protagonist today, Zhirui.

Zhi Rui qi people, he Tara clan, word Bo Yu, late trumpet pedantic. The Manchurian Zhenghongqi people are the cousins of Concubine Zhen, the most beloved concubines in Guangxu's life.

Zhi Rui's life coincided with the era when a broken ship gradually sank in the midst of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's internal and external troubles. According to records, this person has a straightforward personality, dares to speak out, is self-confident and talented, and is arrogant. Because of his personality, he always suffered some hardships in the Manchu Qing officialdom. However, because of his tough personality, he did lay the foundation for his tragic fate for a lifetime.

In the Sino-Japanese War, Zhi Rui was extremely indignant, and as a rebbe attendant, he went to many folds, advocating fighting with Japan to the death, and asking him to go to the battlefield. This really impressed the Guangxu Emperor, who was pro-government and wanted to make a difference. He hurriedly summoned this loyal servant who was doing civilian work, but thought of the rise of the samurai family.

When the monarchs and courtiers saw each other and hated each other, Zhi Rui grabbed them with tears in his nose and detailed his ambition to unite with the British anti-Japanese resistance and personally select soldiers to fight. Guangxu also cried and cried, thinking that he had finally found a lifelong confidant. Junchen was determined to do a great thing, so that the Manchu Qing world would continue to sing and dance on the land of China.

Then this plan lasted only a month, and it was destroyed by Empress Dowager Cixi. Ruizhi was also demoted to the rank of Counselor General of UriaSutai and distributed to Ili magazines to see the after-effects.

This was the first time that this upright Manchu Qing nobleman had come to Ili, starting from the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu and returning to Beijing in the thirty-second year. Rui Zhi did not lose his hope in the face of the filthy current politics, and he still had to fight for this heavenly dynasty.

During his six years as Sauron's leading minister, ZhiRui did two cattle things that were recognized by historians, and these two cattle things were in the Qing Dynasty situation that was already powerless to return to heaven at that time, and it was also okay to call them Yi zhen.

The first thing is to hold a "border arbitration meeting," an arbitration meeting in which China and Russia regularly meet to resolve the backlog of Kazakh border disputes between the two countries. The meeting, based on respect for folklore and religious beliefs, was jointly tried by officials of all factions on both sides in accordance with Kazakh customs and Islamic law. In principle, once every three years. This method of handling cases has won the deep confidence and respect of the Chinese and foreign border people and resolved many ethnic contradictions accumulated over many years. Although the initiative was not Ruizhi, he insisted on running the arbitration meeting, and also effectively investigated, collected evidence, and met with officials from both sides. In 1902, more than 1,700 cases were closed in a ravine where the Chinese Soren battalion in Ili Khorgos was located. According to the world, Zhirui was in Yili, and each case handling lasted a month, handling many cases quickly, which was a situation that had never been handled in the past.

The second thing was to follow the orders of the then General Ili to establish the Yangzheng Academy and select outstanding learners to study in Russia. This became a landmark event in the border area for a while, and cultivated the talents needed for the country.

The time at the border was originally a place of resentment for RuiZhi's momentary frustration. But he still used his own ability, did not abandon the country and his family, and made the greatest contribution he could make. And he also constantly searched for public opinion maps for border defense, inspected the border, and put forward many of his own opinions for national defense.

In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu, the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi died one after another on the same day. At this time, The supreme ruler of China became the regent Zaifeng, and Zhirui was transferred back from Xinjiang to serve as the general of Hangzhou. However, the general of Hangzhou was only an official transition for Zhi Rui, and after three years of reunification, Zhi Rui was still appointed as the general of Ili and returned to the place where the dream began.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty had its last breath left. Manchu Qing courtiers, who were basically a little far-sighted, began to either draw closer to Yuan Shikai or become new exploits of the revolution. However, Zhirui still regards this appointment as his only chance to make a comeback and realize his grand ambitions.

Before taking office, he passionately expressed his views on the current situation and proposed four charters for the future of Xinjiang.

First, Ili's finances are stretched, and the borrowed money accumulates too much, and once the Russians come to redeem it, it will directly collapse financially.

Second, the Russians, the fur company of Ili, monopolized the market and became a tool for the Russians to accumulate wealth, which was very harmful.

Third, General Ili can only manage the army, and the administrative problems cannot be managed is a big drawback.

Fourth, Ili has no standing army, which is very dangerous, and if the war is urgent, it will hang alone in the northwest.

Zhi Rui spit on the stars and flew around, truthfully expressed what he had seen and thought in Xinjiang for many years, and also expressed his suggestions with foresight. While the other ministers were busy preparing for their own way back, this man, seeing the emergency situation in his own country in the northwest, did not care about personal gains and losses, and rushed up like Don Quixote.

But at this time, the Manchu Qing had no cure, and the four points he expressed could actually be boiled down to asking for money and power.

However, he forgot that at this time, the imperial court not only could not take out a penny, but also the real power was falling apart, and it had long since lost the atmosphere of the heavenly kingdom.

When the time came, Zhi Rui looked at the country with a very desolate state of mind. "The crisis situation is not compared to the usual situation, I promise the country with my body, and I do not think about entering the jade gate." If a country lives and dies by profit, it is better to avoid it because of misfortune and happiness. Zhirui was ready to be martyred, and the Xinjiang party knew that it was difficult and abnormal, and had nothing to fear.

Starting from Xinhai, Zhirui first started with the new army that could no longer be trusted because of the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, and carried out drastic reforms. But I didn't think about it, originally it was three fires for the new official to take office, but this fire burned on himself.

At this time, Xinjiang really did not have a penny. Zhi Rui was so anxious that his scalp was numb, he had no money, and it was a fantasy to do whatever you wanted and accomplish.

Zhi Ruidian played the dying Qing government: "The border army is waiting for the hole, please give the Altai Mountains a hundred and nineteen thousand taels of silver in the former city, and first allocate it to Ili." "However, the response was not allowed. Zhi Rui did not die, and then the electricity, not yet. Zhi Rui collapsed, and the stubborn character played a role at this time, and continued to power until you agreed. In the end, the Qing government was under pressure and gave 30,000 taels as an emergency.

Just as 30,000 taels of silver were being transported to Ili, the Ili Uprising broke out.

In this uprising, ZhiRui had an unshirkable responsibility, and he also did extreme things, causing the dismissed New Army to make a rapid revolution and revolutionize Zhirui's life.

It turned out that the officers and men of the New Army were dismissed at the beginning, but they were not paid repatriation fees, resulting in the fact that the officers and men of the New Army had no survival, and naturally there were complaints. In order to avoid the revolution, ZhiRui's extreme practice was to forcibly take off the leather clothes and pants of officers and soldiers in the harsh winter and let them freeze to death. This unsatisfactory and impatient approach, although related to financial poverty, also caused the revolution to take place at a rapid pace.

Another thing that makes Zhi Rui's image very frightening is the exchange of one or two pieces of silver for a felt hat worth only one dollar. At that time, in order to be able to open up financially, Zhirui peddled the felt hats he had brought, forced them to buy and sell, and forced others to buy items that were originally worth a dollar.

These overly impatient and extreme practices are caused by their own character shortcomings. Of course, there is no money, which is also a big reason. He tried to cure it, but it led to the fate of the famous person.

On the night of the uprising, ZhiRui saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to flee on horseback. The angry revolutionary army offered an early reward of 100,000 taels for the head of the most evil man.

He was too obvious to be recognized too far away, so he hid in the House of Urgchun.

Then the opening scene happened.

Politically tragic, Zhi Rui, like Don Quixote, plays the knight guarding the past in the invisible world and the unclear conflict. His death is inextricably linked to his own character, cognition, and time. However, it can be seen that as a literati with the mentality of a scholar, he still wrote a stroke in history, which is not in vain.
