Nian Qianyao was already a feudal official in the late Kangxi Dynasty, and he was not as the film and television drama said. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, the pressure was very great, and it was the time to employ people, and Nian Qianyao was in charge of all the affairs of the western region, and he who won the battle was considered by Yongzheng to be his benefactor.
It can be said that in the Yongzheng Dynasty, in addition to the old thirteenth, Yongzheng was the best for Nian Tangyao. Nian Qianyao also cultivated his own power by grace and formed his own small group.
But also because he is too crazy, the so-called extreme things will be reversed, and in the end, the monarch will lose peace, resulting in his disgrace. Then Nian Qianyao had an army in his hands and was full of power, so why didn't he stand on his own in the northwest?
Nian Qianyao was crazy, and all this was brought to him by Yongzheng. Although there will be some foreign military orders, this refers to war. It does not mean that the general can lead the army to do anything uncontrollably, and the soldiers will listen.
It can be said that the power is still on the side of the emperor, although there are some personal henchmen cultivated by Nian Tangyao, who may only recognize Nian Tangyao and not the emperor, but this is after all a minority.
If Nian Qianyao was counting on these people to rebel with an army, it was obviously a bit whimsical.
This is why many times the general does not dare to speak of rebellion, after all, this is not a joke. If it is a chaotic world, it may be OK, but under the premise of great unification, it is not said that the opposite is the opposite.
Moreover, if you are self-reliant, you need to have money, in addition to the army, you must also have money. But these years Tang Yao did not have, once Nian Tang Yao and the imperial court tore their faces, then the northwest will inevitably fall into turmoil, for Nian Xiang Yao, there is no money in hand, only soldiers, only a dead end.
The desolate land in the northwest, at least in the Yongzheng period, the economic development was relatively lagging behind, so Nian Qianyao could not do anything big in the northwest, nor could he truly turn the northwest into his own base area.
Think about the early San Francisco Rebellion, how huge the power, there are soldiers, there is territory, there is money, the result is still a failure. So to be self-reliant, it is not so easy.
Besides, even if Nian Qianyao occupied the northwest, the final result would not be much better. The Dzungars would not let him go, and the imperial court naturally would not let him go. Under the pinch of things, the result can be imagined.
This is also why, after the fall of peace between the monarchs and ministers, Nian Qianyao could only honestly resign himself to it, and how Yongzheng arranged it, he had to do what he had to do. Yongzheng let him die, he did not dare to live.
