The feud between the Dzungars and the Qing Dynasty, after watching the Qing Dynasty quell the Dzungar Khanate, what they did could tell why the Qing Dynasty had to eliminate the Dzungar Khanate.
In the twenty-second year of Qianlong, after the efforts of the three generations of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, the Dzungars who had suffered for decades in the northwest were finally completely quelled, and in the middle and early period of The Qing Dynasty's rule, the threat that the Dzungars had brought to the Manchus was no less than that of the Xiongnu to the two Han Dynasties and the Turks to the Sheng Tang, and it was precisely because the former strength of the Dzungars had caused psychological shadows to the Qing Emperors, so after the Qing Dynasty won the final victory in the war, Qianlong, who had a lingering feeling, actually ordered the Qing army to genocide the Dzungars who had surrendered.
So, what kind of grudge do they have between them, and they have to destroy each other and then hurry up?
People who have watched the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" understand that the Kangxi Emperor, out of consideration for the interests of the Qing Dynasty, married his most beloved daughter Lan Qi'er to the enemy Gardan, and in fact, Lan Qi'er's favorite person was Li Guangdi, and after Lan Qi'er saw his mother Concubine Rong brushing the toilet, he broke the music box in one breath and returned to Mongolia. Later, after Gardan's strength increased greatly, he fought with the Qing Dynasty. This seems to reflect the enmity between the Qing Dynasty and Kaldan, both the dispute over national turf and emotions in it.
In fact, the real history is not like this. Lan Qi'er is only a fictional character in the TV series, and the historical Gardan does not have a concubine named Lan Qi'er.
In fact, Kaldan seized power quickly after his brother was killed, and as the leader of the Dzungar region, he always wanted to expand his territory, and after many wars, he almost reached the point where no one in the western region could compare with him.
At this time, he began to threaten the foundation of the Qing Empire by attacking the Ulanmutong region, and we often say that kaldan rebelled because when Kaldan was not the supreme leader of the Dzungar region, the supreme leader of the Dzungar region had surrendered to the Qing Empire and conceded defeat, and Kaldan began to go to war with the Qing Dynasty, in name, it was a rebellion, in fact, we all understood that the border wars in history were basically timely.
Secretly instigated and supported by the fighting peoples in the north, Gardan entered the Inner Mongolia region by virtue of his superiority and began to launch a direct armed military conflict with the Qing government. In order to ensure the tranquility of the frontier areas and avoid disasters for the people, Kangxi personally led the army to conquer Kaldan three times and destroyed Kaldan's camel phalanx, and finally due to the excessive number of enemies in Kaldan, he was attacked by the Qing Dynasty and Kaldan's nephew, and the army of Dzungar Khan was defeated, and Kaldan committed suicide.
After the death of Kaldan, his nephew Ceyu Alabutan donated his body to the Qing Dynasty, as a condition for surrender, the Dzungar Khanate under the leadership of Ceyu Alabutan reached its peak, and began to compete with the Qing government, the border areas were successively fought, after decades of war differences, during the Qianlong administration, taking advantage of the continuous civil strife in the Dzungar Khan region, decisively sent troops, and finally eliminated the Dzungar Khanate and unified the northern and southern regions of the Tianshan Mountains.
After the Qing Dynasty eliminated the main political forces of Dzungar Khan, the notorious Jiading Santu and Yangzhou Ten Days of the Qing Dynasty had already made the Han people who had ruled China for thousands of years bleed into the city, and the blood-stained army swung the butcher's knife at the Dzungars...
From this, we can see how much the Qing Dynasty already hated the Dzungar Khanate.
Therefore, as a Northern Mongolian Khanate, although the Dzungars only occupied the western region and Central Asia, their ambitions did not decrease, for the Dzungar Khanate to move east is to expand is to plunder, for the Qing government, the elimination of Dzungar is to protect the border and the people is to maintain the stability of imperial power, the contradictions have become irreconcilable, Dzungar has violated the bottom line of the Qing Dynasty, and it will not be good to give up without distinguishing between victory and defeat.
