There were three famous "General Fuyuan" in the Qing Dynasty, including Kangxi Emperor Kangxi The half-brother of Emperor Yu Fuquan, and Emperor Kangxi's fourteenth prince Yinzhi . In addition to these two royal relatives, there is another one with the most famous one. He is Nian Gengyao , who is very active on the screen.

Back then, Nian Gengyao quelled the Danjin Rebellion in Luobuzang, Qinghai, and shocked the western border. Nian Gengyao was also given the merits of Qinghai. The emperor of Yongzheng and . He met him very unusually. Nian Gengyao was awarded the title of Prince Taibao and the First Class Duke. He was extremely favored, but what followed was a sudden change. Within two years, he was stripped of his official position and rank his title, and he was listed for 92 major crimes, his home was confiscated and his family was sentenced to death. Although the 0-year general made outstanding achievements in military affairs, he was not aware of the way of being a minister, and ended up being a rabbit and a dog. In the 2 years of Tongzhi more than a hundred years after Nian Gengyao's death, a guy who suffered repeated defeats admired Nian Gengyao very much.

His talent is far from Nian Gengyao, and he is domineering but even more arrogant. He was in Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion and rebellion. Although he had no achievements, he learned from Nian Gengyao's style in the northwest. The title of general did not come in the end, but his fate was very similar to that of Nian Gengyao, and this person was Shengbao.

Shengbao, whose courtesy name is Kezhai, Suwan Guarjia , a man of the Manchu Bordered White Banner, was a juren in the 20th year of Daoguang (1840), and served as the Imperial College Supervisor for the wine priest, and later transferred to the Hanlin.

Generals were born in troubled times. Shengbao's military career began in the third year of Xianfeng (1853). At that time, when Changmao was in great power, Shengbao was transferred to the position of Minister of Military Affairs of the Daying Jiangbei, intercepted the Taiping Army's Northern Expedition . Later, he was dismissed for his unfavorable battles and suffered consecutive defeats.

In the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856), he was re-appointed as the deputy commander, assisted in the military affairs of Henan, and went to Huaibei to suppress the Nian Army. Due to the unfavorable suppression of Nian, four years later (1860), he was "reduced to be appointed as the Minister of Guanglu Temple" and returned to Beijing to standby.

Qing is a difficult time, but Shengbao will run. Shortly after returning to Beijing, the Qing court and the British and French coalitions broke down. The Second Opium War broke out, and Shengbao ushered in another opportunity.

British and French coalition forces attacked Beijing. The Qing court quickly ordered Shengbao to assist Prince Senggelinqin and Grand Secretary Ruilin to rush to Baliqiao in Tongzhou to block the British and French coalition forces. Shengbao was also fighting his life at this time and was injured by artillery fire during the battle.

I will have good fortune in the future if I survive the disaster. Although the Qing army was defeated in the Battle of Baliqiao, resulting in the "North Strike Rehe " and the Old Summer Palace was also burned. However, Shengbao was injured due to glory and was praised by Emperor Xianfeng for "loyalty and courage, and serving the country with a sincere heart." The following year, he was promoted to the Minister of War and became a real power figure holding military power.

In August of the same year, Xianfeng died of illness and Rehe, Shengbao once again defeated Bao. He supported the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and Prince Gong to launch the " Xinyou Coup " to overthrow Su Shun and other "Eight Ministers of Respect" and made great contributions, thus being favored by the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces.

From then on, he won the victory and prosper, but his ambition also expanded. It happened to be in the autumn of the first year of Tongzhi (1862), a rebellion broke out in Shaanxi. The Qing court was appointed as the imperial minister of the imperial envoy and went to Shaanxi to supervise Shaanxi military affairs.

wins Bao Bao was extremely excited. Looking back, he thought that he was a soldier for half his life, and he felt that he would become a general who pacified the northwest like Nian Gengyao back then.

But Shengbao's military talent is really not satisfactory. Without exception, he also suffered consecutive defeats in Shaanxi and was privately ridiculed by his colleagues as "defeated protection". However, this "defeated protection" relied on the favor of the two empress dowagers, but he often cast a blind eye to defeat as victory and greedy for money. At that time, some people participated in him, "every battle will be defeated, and every defeat will be heard of victory."

wins in Shaanxi, spending a lot of money and losing a lot of battles, but his momentum is no less than that of the Nian General. For example, he and the governor of Henan and Shaanxi, who were originally equal-level officials, often had official documents. According to the official documents used by the same-level officials, Sheng Bao insisted on using the "notes" from superiors to subordinates.

Affiliates reminded him not to be so arrogant and easily offend others. Shengbao disagreed. He believed that the "instructor minister" was the "general" of the past and was qualified to treat the governors and governors of various provinces as above.

Also, in the Qing Dynasty, the generals who led the troops explicitly prohibited the bringing of female relatives on the front line. Shengbao not only brought his concubine into the camp, but also took the wife of the Taiping Army Ying Wang Chen Yucheng for himself and took it to Shaanxi.

Although Nian Gengyao had many wives and concubines in the northwest, he did not hide his enemy's female relatives privately. This was also one of Shengbao's important crimes later.

In fact, Shengbao was just the imperial envoy who entered the Shaanxi Governor, which was essentially different from the "General Fuyuan" that year. The imperial envoy only had the power to supervise for a while, and did not have his own rooted power, and the central government did not give him the power to restrain the local governor. It is completely incomparable to Nian Gengyao's power in the northwest back then. Besides, the scale of the chaos was relatively small, and the impact was not as good as the Northwest Rebellion back then, and the Qing court would not rely on him as the "defeater".

helpless, Katsubo, who was too immersed in the role, continued to rush on the road to death. If you are just greedy for money and play with women, you can tolerate it. But Sheng Bao, who quickly entered the role in Shaanxi, suddenly felt that he was not only "making great contributions", but also had the "capital" that must challenge the Qing court central government.

At that time, everyone knew that the separatist forces in Anhui Miao Peilin was a capricious person. Taking advantage of the troublesome Qing Dynasty, this person was in Anhui in his early years, and repeatedly swayed between the Nian Army, Taiping Army, and Qing Army, and were able to get along with each other.

In April of the first year of Tongzhi (May 1862), Miao Peilin, who had been king by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, secretly surrendered to the Qing court. Chen Yucheng, the King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was lured because he believed Miao Peilin. Then Miao Peilin presented Chen Yucheng to Shengbao. Shengbao took a big advantage because he not only captured the famous King of England alive, but also secretly occupied someone's beautiful wife.

Miao Peilin knew that Shengbao was greedy for money and lustful, so he often gave Shengbao money and antiques, and looked for beauties and famous prostitutes to Shengbao. Many people in the Qing court suggested getting rid of Miao Peilin, a capricious person, but they were protected by victory every time. Therefore, Miao Peilin developed its power and separatist under the cover of Shengbao, with a maximum of 100,000 troops. Shengbao regarded Miao Peilin as a force that he could rely on.

Similarly, Shengbao also has this attitude towards Song Jingshi 's Black Flag Army (a branch of the Nian Army). Song Jingshi started the cause in Shandong, and later surrendered to the Qing army and was brought under Shengbao's command. In the first year of Tongzhi, Shengbao entered Shaanxi to quell the rebellion. However, the war was passive and shirked, and he still maintained close contact with the Nian Army. Shengbao left it alone. Soon Song Jingshi led the crowd to rebel again.

At that time, the young emperor Tongzhi was only six years old. The two empress dowagers and the regents were in charge of Yixin . The full-bodied Shengbao gradually began to ignore the two empress dowagers, and the memorials all revealed that they were despised as a woman.

Shengbao is too inflated, not only offending his colleagues and superiors, but even Shengbao's subordinates are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with him. Because every time the military pay is delivered, Sheng Bao will squander enough first and pay the rest. Often the remaining money is not enough to provide for the casualties and injuries. Gradually, the officers and soldiers under his command have more and more complaints, and they are disloyal from Shengbao.

So many people began to impeach Shengbao, saying that he had a disobedient heart. Although there were many people participating in the protection of the victory, they were considering the success of Shengbao, and the Qing court did not want the Han ministers to grow too strong, so Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong, who were in charge of the administration, were still very confident in the protection of Shengbao at the beginning. They felt that although Sheng Bao was unrestrained, had a bad temper, and was greedy for merit and paid money, he was a "person" after all, and wanted to remove his military power, transfer him back to Beijing, and give him a fat man.

Because he knew Shengbao's temper, Prince Gong asked his confidants to write a letter to Shengbao, telling Shengbao to obey the order and not to talk nonsense, "Don't speak out within the day." But unexpectedly, it backfired. After reading the letter, Shengbao cursed, thinking that Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong had let him down.

Shengbao also submitted a memorial, mentioning the Xinyou coup, vaguely implying that without himself, there would be no two empress dowagers and Prince Gong today. When Empress Dowager Cixi saw it, her face turned pale and said only one sentence, "No wonder some people say that Sheng Bao is like Nian Gengyao, it's really good."

At this time, the rebellion that had just subsided, but Shengbao simply stopped him. The commentary said: "I am a guest who is responsible for military affairs in the northwest and pays the funds to the provinces. I cannot provide them according to the numbers. The troops are insufficient and I cannot recruit them, so everything is exhausted and it is difficult to make a contribution."

faces Shengbao's bad attitude of "just as long as money is not done." The court urged him to send troops to support the various departments. Shengbao pretended to go out and went around. When he came back, he boasted that he wanted money and pay, and continued to spend money and talked to his colleagues. So the commentary that impeached Shengbao flew in front of the two empress dowagers like snowflakes.

Pan Zuyin , Monkge Lin Qin , Ying Gui, Dexing A, Bian Baodi, Ding Shaozhou , Hua Zhu San , Duolong A , Zhao Shuji and many other ministers all reported to the victory Bao, saying that he was "dominate, luxurious, and consuming countless military pay", "Everyone eats must be abbot, every dish must have two tools, and the food is sweet, then he said that he would give a copy to me", "The party protects Miao Peilin and Song Jingshi's forces, support the bandits and respect themselves, and control the court", etc.

Among them, Henan Governor Yan Shusen , who was born in the Hunan Group, attacked Sheng Bao the most fiercely: "The disease of tinea scabies is not a physical problem, but Sheng Bao is a major problem. Looking at his daily compilation, he can already see his unofficial intentions. When he took advantage of his merits and invaded his salary, he was also afraid of the people, and he was still in other matters. "

But Shengbao did not move forward, and he still did his own way. And as Miao Peilin and Song Jingshi rebelled again, the court finally decided to make a murderous intent on Shengbao. On the fourth day of the same year, the two empress dowagers secretly ordered Duolonga to lead his troops to Shengbao camp in the name of supporting Shengbao, and secretly arrested and escorted him back to Beijing while he was unprepared.

The next year, July of the second year of Tongzhi (August 1863), Shengbao was ordered by the Empress Dowager to commit suicide by committing suicide by saying "Disappearance as victory, reporting military achievements, raising enemies to respect themselves, and controlling the court." On the day of execution, Shengbao chose a three-foot white silk in the jail of the Ministry of Justice, and kicked his legs, just like the Nian General at that time.
