After hearing the incident, the two palaces mourned, Zhao Jiaqi was loyal and courageous, regarded state affairs as family affairs, and regarded the prince as the final ceremony, and was favored from the good. Ordered the bodyguard Chi Yi to welcome the coffin to The capital, the empress dowager of the two palaces was personally honored, and the jin zhi funeral was given, and the ancestral hall was built in the place of meritorious service, and the taimiao temple was enjoyed, and the portrait of the purple light pavilion was pre-painted. - Draft History of the Qing Dynasty
On April 24, the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Muzong of the Qing Dynasty, the monk Gelinqin, the prince of Bodolgatai of the Qing Dynasty, was beheaded by a nameless soldier of the Twister Army in a wheat field in Caozhou, Shandong, and his death shocked the Eastern and Western Palaces (Cixi and Ci'an) at that time, and in recognition of the monk Greenqin's loyalty to the country, he enjoyed the honor of enjoying the Taimiao Temple and establishing a special shrine.
Also in this year, Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang set up the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Bureau in Shanghai, which opened the precedent of Modern Industrialization in China, and the decadent Qing Dynasty was getting closer and closer to closure.
With the death of the royal aristocratic monk Gelinqin and the beginning of the development of foreign affairs by the landlord class representative Zeng Guofan and others, it meant that an era was coming to an end. At this time, China was no longer the feudal society where imperial power was supreme, and due to the weakness and compromise of the Qing court, the country had gradually begun to accelerate its transformation into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
Since then, the decline of imperial power, the gradual rise of the landlord class and the emerging bourgeoisie, the feudal society with centralized monarchy has begun to become more and more different, and the death of the monk Greenqin has brought a painful blow to the imperial relatives and nobles of those feudal dynasties, because the monk king is the last straw of the Qing court, and since his death, the Qing royal family has no tiger and wolf division to use, and must henceforth rely on the armed forces of the landlord class group.
The landlord class only supports the royal rights and interests under the premise of having the same interests, for example, Zeng Guofan is one of the representative figures, when the Anglo-French coalition army invaded the capital, the Xianfeng Emperor asked him to come back to his aid and did not even move, which is the best proof, so it is said that after these landlord class groups are threatened by their own interests and cannot be guaranteed, the majesty of the royal family will definitely cease to exist.
However, the monk Greenqin this person is completely supportive of the Qing royal family, it can be said that he was the strongest backing and defense line of the Qing royal family in that special era, and the Qing royal family also gave the monk Greenqin the supreme honor and status, and even married him, and the monk king did not live up to the love of the royal family, and selflessly spilled his blood for the Qing Dynasty.
Monk Greenqin was born in a declining Mongolian aristocratic family in the Horqin steppe, he was a member of the Borjigit clan (also called Bo'er Only Jin, the golden family and the Xiaozhuang family were a family), his ancestors were Genghis Khan's second brother Habtu Khasar, and his family branch has always been the king of the Horqin steppe, but because of too many heirs, to his father's generation has fallen, leaving only a noble status, that is, the fourth-class Taiji, this identity is more in the steppe, because many people are descendants of the Genghis Khan family. So in order to make a living, his father had to herd his cattle for rich herders.
And the monk Greenqin did not change the fate of herding after birth, due to the increasing number of family members, he began to herd sheep with his father at the age of 9 to supplement the family, but this kind of day he only passed three years, because his great uncle was the great lama of Guangfu Temple, when the monk Greenqin was 12 years old, he took him to the temple to study, saying that the children of the poor had long been in charge, the monk Greenqin had a tough personality since childhood, he was hard-working and very diligent, and soon he came to prominence in the academy.
It is said that human success is inseparable from opportunities, but in fact, there is a later word, that is, opportunities are reserved for those who are ready, and sure enough, a great good fortune befell the monk Greenqin.
The king of Horqin County died suddenly, and he only had two daughters, and no one could inherit the position of king of the county, so he could only choose one of the men of the same family as a stepson to inherit the unification, which made someone ask, did the king of the county have no brothers? Why do you have to engage in the same sect screening?
The reason is very simple, because the princess of Horqin is the Princess Heshuo of the Jiaqing Emperor, and the princess does not want to choose an heir from the Junwang family, because it is not easy to control for the Qing royal family, in other words, the members of the direct family of the Junwang are powerful, even if they are allowed to inherit, they will think that this is a matter of course, and one of the people in the same sect is selected as the heir, if elected directly the crow becomes a phoenix, it will certainly be grateful, so as to make a general election.
Therefore, although the monk Greenqin was a broken nobleman, he was also qualified, so the 15-year-old monk Greenqin became the stepson of the princess and the heir to the throne of the Horqin steppe after a series of selection examinations.
Since he became the heir of the King of Horqin, according to the custom, the monk Gelinqin had to go to the capital to train, and since his adoptive mother was Princess Heshuo, the Daoguang Emperor became his uncle.
It is said that the children of the poor have long been in charge, although the status of the monk Greenqin has changed suddenly, but he does not have a trace of the habit of a clumsy disciple, he still maintains his good virtue and literacy, after arriving at the palace he quickly got the appreciation of Daoguang, in less than ten years after he entered the palace, he became the former minister of the imperial court, the capital of Mongolia under the blue flag, and wore a yellow coat and used purple reins, which can be said to be a special honor for a Mongolian prince, he was not yet 30 years old to have the treatment of the "eight points" prince, which is really rare.
The monk Greenqin can be said to be a rising star in the political arena in the Daoguang Dynasty, and after Daoguang's death, he was appointed as the "Minister of Gu Orders" and read out the emperor's will, and from then on he did his best to assist his cousin Xianfeng.
But the monk Greenqin did not put these honors in his heart, he had the most simple belief, that is, zhi en Tu Bao, at this time the Qing Dynasty has been in danger, internal and external troubles for many years, the Daoguang Emperor has built so many years of monk Greenqin finally has a place to play, when the Qing royal family's most elite Eight Banners troops are all in his hands, and at this time the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began the Northern Expedition, due to its class limitations, at the moment of crisis in the Qing royal family, the monk Greenqin led the Eight Banners and Mongolian cavalry to appear, and he won the first battle. At Fucheng, he severely damaged the Taiping Army, captured Lin Fengxiang, and then defeated Li Kaifang again, during which time the monk Gelinqin was made the Prince of Bodol Katai by Xianfengjia and hereditary replaced.
However, the matter is not over, this time has reached the period of the Second Opium War, with the defeat of the first Dagukou Campaign, Xianfeng appointed Senggelinqin as the minister of Chincha and supervised the military affairs of Dagu, during this period, Senggelinqin and the soldiers shared weal and woe, he actively investigated and actively prepared for the war, and finally ushered in the victory of the Second Dagukou Campaign, this campaign greatly promoted the national prestige, this battle is the first time since the Opium War, the Qing army has won a huge victory in the foreign war, Senggelinqin is indispensable.
However, in the following battles, Senggelinqin, due to his personal leadership and limitations, no longer had glory, in the Third Battle of Dagukou, the Qing army lost consecutive defeats and lost the Jinmen stronghold, in the Battle of Bali Bridge, although he bravely killed the enemy, but due to the cowardice and improper command of the ruler, the Qing Dynasty itself was able to control all the elite losses, and then, the Senggelin Qin dai sin crusaded against the Twist army, due to mistakes, was killed by a nameless pawn.
The monk Greenqin was a loyal subject, but due to the limitations of his historical class, he was only a loyal servant of the Qing Dynasty, and although he acted as an executioner in the process of suppressing the peasant class uprising, this was due to the special historical environment and the class of the times at that time.
Similarly, Senggelinqin was a great patriotic general, he was not afraid of strong enemies, he was a rare member of the main war faction of the Qing Dynasty at that time, we can see from a lot of evidence that Senggelinqin's hatred for foreign invaders, existing in the archives he wrote to Xianfeng in the compromise is everywhere, Senggelinqin admires Lin Zexu and other main war factions, he opposes escape, willing to give an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, he hopes to sacrifice his life for the country to repay the emperor's favor.
Although the monk Greenqin is in a high position, but he never has luxury and erosion, he is a pioneer everywhere, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, he cherishes the people, he has not personally deployed soldiers, he is afraid of hurting ordinary people, perhaps this has a lot to do with his bitter origin. Because of this, after his death, almost everyone went to pay tribute to him, and perhaps this was the greatest honor for him.
Monk Greenqin is a traditional Mongolian nobleman, he received the education of Mongolian warriors when he was a child, as he entered the capital he systematically received a feudalized royal education, he jumped from a white ding to a prince, which is more of a chance, but in his heart is more of a favor to the Qing royal family, so he also dedicated the last drop of blood to the decaying Qing Dynasty, he is like an immortal horse always controlled by the Qing royal family, if he did not participate in the suppression of peasant revolts, I think he will have a higher honor in today's history, and if he died in the Bali Bridge and Dagukou, I think he will also leave his name in history.
It is a pity that the monk king died on the way to suppress the peasant class uprising, but all this should not be blamed on the monk king, as a military general, he only wants to be loyal to the king and patriotic, and the bad ending of all this is ultimately caused by the decay and closure of the Qing Dynasty, so it is said that the death of the monk king is very helpless, but this is the inevitable trend of historical development.
