After the Qing army entered Beijing, national rule was officially established. However, the Qing Dynasty rule was not stable at this time. There were also Dashun and Nanming as well as the northern minority forces, the Qing Dynasty. There is an urgent need to solve these problems, so the nomads in the northwest are ignored. On the other hand, Junggar, as a nomad, is located in the northwest of Xinjiang. The land is barren and unsuitable for grazing. Therefore, they must expand and occupy the land to satisfy their own development. It's safe and sound.
After the Manchu Qing took back Taiwan, the internal disputes were basically resolved. At this time, Junggar has developed to a certain scale after years of development, and its strength is enough to threaten the rule of the Manchus. As the power continues to grow, it gradually emerges Out of ambition, coupled with the support of Tsarist forces behind him, he has been thinking about launching a rebellion.
The war was on the verge. In 1687, the Russian envoys sent to the Junggar tribe and met with Galdan envoys. They said that the Russians would fully support the rise of Junggar. Under the instigation of the Tsarist Russia, Junggar finally could not hold back. In 1 year, Galdan used the excuse to provoke a war, and led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Khalkha, and then quickly occupied the entire Khalkha with the momentum of thunder.
The leader of Khalkha fled in a hurry. Hundreds of thousands of people fled around. One of them ran to the Qing court to seek help. On the one hand, Kangxi pacified, on the other hand, he ordered Galdan to stop. As a result, Galdan was very angry. Arrogant, ignored the emperor's instructions, but went all the way south, aiming directly at the capital.
In July of the same year, Kangxi decreed to send troops to counter the rebellion. One hundred thousand clear troops were set out from Beijing, together with the soldiers recruited locally. Rambutong was waiting for the defeat of the rebels. He thought that the Junggar tribe would retreat. But in the end, he resolutely refused to surrender.
Kangxi sits in the town is the blue flag ,Stationed in Inner Mongolia, but because of the unfamiliar terrain, far away from the capital, the supply of food and grass was difficult, Junggar was battered by wind and sun for many years, and his physique was strong. After the two sides met, the Qing army was temporarily lost. At the time, Kangxi decisively ordered people to outflank from the rear, cutting off Junggar's retreat.
After the Qing army rested for half a month, they went into battle again. The Qing army discovered that the Junggar tribe was stationed in Ulanbu, where the terrain is extremely high. Although they are stationed here, they have broad vision, but there are no barriers on the heights, like a living target. The Qing army looked at the timing to launch an offensive, and the Junggar people found many camels in a panic, tied the camels' feet together, and laid them on the ground to form a fortification to defend against the Qing army's offensive.
The Qing army reacted immediately and placed the firearm in front of the line after adjustment. The infantry followed closely. With the help of the firearm, the Qing army tore the camel array and then confronted the Junggar soldiers head-on. At this time, another reinforcement of the Qing army suddenly killed After they came out, they killed many enemies before and after the attack. On the one hand, the Junggar tribe sent envoys to seek peace, and on the other hand, with the help of night cover, the remnants were quietly defeated, and weeds were burned along the road to slow the attack of the Qing army.
The Qing army defeated the spirit of Junggar in the first battle. After that, Fuquan sent a letter of surrender to Junggar, but no reply was received for several months. 福全 thought the rebels were scared and afraid He set off again, so without asking Kangxi for instructions, he privately ordered the class teacher to return to the court and was punished by Kangxi.
After some rest and recuperation, Junggar attacked again and was ready to go in Mongolia. The Qing army had no choice but to attack again. Kangxi sent troops this time to get rid of this scourge, so he ordered the increase of border defense forces and the deployment of firearms and equipment. At the same time, he built a patrol camp in Baijing and walked around to monitor him day and night. Kangxi wanted to demonstrate to force Junggar to retreat, but he still failed to get back to Junggar to be convinced, and the two sides fought again.
In order to ensure victory in this war, the Qing army made full preparations, learned from the previous experience, and recruited a guide familiar with the Mongolian terrain. They prepared enough food for half a year. The size of the army is huge, with 10,000 transport vehicles.
Thirty thousand soldiers from Junggar meet the enemy, and in addition, they claim to have help from Tsarist Russia.The Qing army was to be wiped out in one fell swoop. After the war began, the Qing army was divided into three armies and encircled Zhungar. Kangxi himself took command. After the war began, the Qing army had a rapid momentum, and Zhungar had no resistance at all. Run around for your life.
The Qing army did not let go of this opportunity, and had long been ambushing along the way. Hundreds of elite soldiers came out and killed them all. In this battle, Galdan was seriously frustrated and only took dozens of soldiers to escape. In the following year, Kangxi crossed the Yellow River and decided to completely annihilate the rebels. At this time, mixed arguments broke out within Junggar, and Galdan was taken overhead. This time the Qing army attacked and committed suicide in desperation.
After Galdan's death, Kangxi did not slacken his efforts. He sent troops to monitor closely and finally calmed down his confidant troubles. Afterwards, he adopted the policy of "differentiating borders, each with its own customization" to govern the frontiers. The rebellion in Junggar was spurned, even if there were Tsarist Russia behind it. The forces support it, but it has always been unpopular, and it will eventually fail.
