In fact, Yue Zhongqi is reused.
In the entire Qing Dynasty, he was able to worship the general as a Han, and he held the military power of the three provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Even the Eight Banners of Manchuria also obeyed his orders, only Yue Zhongqi.
Qianlong listed him as one of the five heroes, with Zhaohui, Alishang, Mingrui, Shuhede, and other four Manchus, and called him the "three dynasty military giant", and only Yue Zhongqi.
Therefore, it is impossible for Yue Zhongqi not to be reused.
As a descendant of Yue Fei, aside from national stereotypes, Yue Zhongqi does not humiliate the Yue family. Unlike his ancestor Yue Fei, his military capabilities are also very strong. He is both wise and courageous. He uses soldiers like gods. He has made immortal achievements for the dynasty he is loyal to. He is a famous general in the world. As far as the Chinese nation is concerned, he has made great contributions. Qinghai, which covers 720,000 square kilometers, belongs to the Qing Dynasty, and Tibet, which covers 1.23 million square kilometers, is included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty. These are all the credits of Yue Zhongqi and the main credit.
In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi (1717), the great Khan of the Junggar Khanate led Arabutan to collude with Tsarist Russia and invaded Tibet with his troops. When Kangxi heard the news, he was furious, so he hurriedly sent fourteen sons Yinqi as the general of Fuyuan, and rushed to Qinghai as an inspector to supervise the battle. At that time, Yue Zhongqi, as the deputy general of Sichuan Yongning Association, followed Yinqi to Tibet to quell the chaos.
In the Battle of Pingzang, Yue Zhongqi has repeatedly made military exploits. First, he led six hundred elite soldiers to sack the rebel leader Dawa Lajmpa, Sebten Ajudaba, Dawalan Champa, etc. , Defeated three thousand rebels, and then Fuding Litang and Batang. Then, another six thousand Qing troops raided Zhaisangraoba, captured the Sanba Bridge, and captured the fugitive Mongolian Lazang Khan and other leaders of the rebel army. Tens of thousands of households in the tribe are all surrendered. After
, Yue Zhongqi used clever tricks to capture the rebel fierce Black Lama known as the "Enemy of Ten Thousands" and attacked Lali, the gateway of Lasa. In the end, Yue Zhongqi pursued victories and annihilated the Junggar army, led troops into Lhasa, captured more than 400 Neiying Lamas in Lhasa, and surrendered more than 7,000 Tibetan soldiers assisting the Junggar army. So far, the Lhasa rebellion was put down.
In the battle to quell Tibet, Yue Zhongqi made great contributions. He sent out extraordinary soldiers, offered strategies, and used both to suppress and punish them. In the end, he assisted the Tibetan commander-in-chief Garbi to quell the Tibetan rebellion in Junggar. After this battle, Yue Zhongqi's strategizing and decisive military talent in the battle of Pingzang was not only known to the world, but more importantly, it was noticed by Emperor Kangxi, the supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty. Since then, under the training of Kangxi intentionally or unintentionally, he began to step into the power core of the Qing army and become a military general of the Qing court.
Since Kangxi, Yue Zhongqi has become one of the military generals that the Qing government relies on most. During a great war, he will be entrusted by the Qing emperor to the important task, or as the chief or deputy, and lead the army to counter the rebellion. . And every time as long as Yue Zhongqi is there, the war will be resolved. Therefore, with the increasing military exploits, Yue Zhongqi's status will also rise.
In the second year of Yongzheng (1724), in the Qinghai battle, under the leadership of Yue Zhongqi, the Qing army successfully recovered 600,000 square kilometers of territory in Qinghai area occupied by the rebels. Yongzheng, who learned the news, was overjoyed, Feng Yue Zhongqi's prince Taibao, third-class prestige, and concurrently admiral of Gansu. Since then, Yue Zhongqi has truly become one of the top military generals in the Qing Dynasty.
In the spring of the third year of Yongzheng (1725), after Nian Gengyao was gifted to death by Yongzheng, Yue Zhongqi first took over the post of Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi of Nian Gengyao, and took over the military power of the three provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. The most powerful military commander of the Qing Dynasty at that time. Since then, Yue Zhongqi has reached the pinnacle of life.
But "prosperity and decline", Yue Zhongqi is a Han after all, not a Manchu. In the Qing Dynasty, a minority ruling dynasty, Hans have never gained the true trust of Manchus. At that time, due to the needs of warfare, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty needed Yue Zhongqi, a rare military commander who could fight and win. Why does the Man at this time fail to live up to it? A hundred years of easy life has caused the Manchu people to lose their former spirit. The Manchu generals who used to be brave and good at fighting have long become potbellied incompetent people who only know how to eat, drink and play, but do not know how to fight on horseback.
Therefore, in order to stabilize the world, the Manchus do not trust the Han people,But we can only rely on the Han people to protect the world. As a result, Yue Zhongqi, as the most capable general in the world, is a Han Chinese, but for his own sake, the Manchu can only reuse him and let him lead the army to fight against the Qing court.
However, although the Qing court re-used Yue Zhongqi, it was forced to reuse it. If the Manchus had a general who could command the army and could win the battle, Yue Zhongqi would definitely be abandoned, even Was punishable. Regarding Yue Zhongqi, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were always wary. Once the rulers of the Qing Dynasty heard that Yue Zhongqi had a trace of unruly, they would not hesitate to act first and impose sanctions on it.
No, the "Zeng Jing conspiracy" that occurred in the sixth year of Yongzheng (1728) brought Yue Zhongqi's career to an end. At that time, Jingzhou talent Zeng Jing sent a protégé Zhang Xi to write a letter to Yue Zhongqi. In the letter, Zeng Jing was extremely insulting to Yong Zheng, and persuaded Yue Zhongqi to use Yue Fei's deeds against gold, hoping that he would turn his gun to the Manchus, a descendant of the gold man , Revenge for the Song and Ming dynasties. But at this time, Yue Zhongqi did not accept, but pretended to agree, defrauded the confession, in turn arrested the two, and then truthfully reported to Yongzheng. Although Yue Zhongqi was always loyal to the Qing court in this matter, Yongzheng became suspicious of him and no longer trusted him, so he sought an opportunity to dismiss him from office.
In the tenth year of the Yongzheng period (1732), Galdan attacked Hami with zero seven thousand troops. Yue Zhongqi had made careful arrangements. First, the general army Cao Rang and other soldiers were sent to attack the enemy in Erbao, and then the deputy general stone was sent. Yunzhuo and other generals rushed to Nanshan Pass and Tiziquan to set up ambushes and cut off the enemy's retreat. At first, Cao Rang repelled the army of Galdan Celing at Erbao, but Shi Yunzhuo, who was responsible for the interception, sent his troops late, causing the rebels to hijack a large amount of supplies and retreat safely.
The defeat of this battle is related to Yue Zhongqi's improper employment, but Yue Zhongqi's response strategy is not wrong. If Shi Yunzhuo can reach the ambush point on time, the rebels can definitely be wiped out. Furthermore, even if the rebels escape, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. This is just a small group of rebels, not the main force. Their escape will not have any impact on the overall situation. Therefore, according to the normal method of handling, Yue Zhongqi is at most admonished, and will not be severely punished.
But, in fact, Yue Zhongqi's final punishment was unexpected and even breathtaking. When Yongzheng learned of this battle, under the impeachment of the cabinet university scholar Ertai, Yue Zhongqi was cut off the title of waiting for the Duke and Prince Taibao, and was reduced to third class, and soon he was deprived of the seal of General Ningyuan. He was recalled to Beijing, and then "detained by the Ministry of Military Affairs pending discussion", and sent directly to prison at the Penal Ministry.
Yue Zhongqi, this level is two full years.
Two years of prison life, logically speaking, should be enough to offset his crime of improper employment. But, who calls him Han, who calls him quite prestigious in the army, and who calls him Yong Zheng already jealous of him! In October of the twelfth year of Yongzheng (1734), the Ministry of War's verdict came down, and the verdict was actually "beheaded", which meant that he was sentenced to death. Think about it, how funny this is. A Manchu general, even if he escapes, the most serious is only exile, but Yue Zhongqi, a famous general who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, sacrificed his life for the Qing court. In the battle on the battlefield, just because a person is improperly employed, he will be put to death. There is no justice at all!
Yue Zhongqi will be judged to die. In the final analysis, he is a Han, his credit is too great, the prestige in the army is too high, Yongzheng fears that he will rebel and threaten the Qing Dynasty, so he will be so cruel. However, Yongzheng was still somewhat conscientious. When he received a memorial from the Ministry of Defense, he weighed left and right, thinking of Yue Zhongqi’s work in Tibet and pacing Qinghai, and finally decided to change the "beheading" to "beheading the prison" (equivalent to the death penalty, suspended for execution) ) And a fine of seven hundred thousand taels of silver.
In this way, Yue Zhongqi, who was loyal to the Qing Dynasty and made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, lost everything because of the Qing emperor’s suspicion. Although she escaped death by chance, she also became nothing. Become a common people.
Sad! Sigh!
