I believe that many people have watched the explosive film and television drama "Yanxi Raiders" some time ago, in which the male protagonist Fu Cha Fu Heng can be literate and martial, warm in character, a table of talents, can be said to have harvested the hearts of many girls.
So is there really such a person in history? Is his historical archetype really as depicted in the TV series?
The author has consulted and compared many times, and found in the "History of the Qing Dynasty" the true prototype of Fu Heng in history and his rough life deeds.
Born noble, the queen's brother
Fu Cha Fu Heng (富察傅恒), courtesy name Chunhe , was a Manchurian yellow flag bearer who was the younger brother of Empress Xiaoxian chun in history. Fu Heng's family belonged to the famous Manchu nobles, the great-grandfather Hashtun, who served as a parliamentary minister during the Shunzhi period, and his grandfather Mi Sihan was the governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Head of the Household Department. His father, Li Rongbao, served as the governor of Chahar.
In Fu Heng's generation, his sister became the Prince of Bao, later Qianlong's concubine Fujin. In the second year of Qianlong (1737), the Fucha clan was crowned empress.
According to records, the Fucha clan was very virtuous, advocating frugality, and was deeply loved by the empress dowager and emperor Qianlong. The Fucha clan was so favored by the Qianlong Emperor that her younger brother Fu Heng was also greatly favored. In the tenth year of Qianlong (1745), Fu Heng was assigned to serve in the Military Aircraft Department, and after only two years he was promoted to Hubu Shangshu.
A year later, Empress Hyohyun-chun toured the east with the emperor, and the returning ship died suddenly while passing through Texas, the cause of death was very strange, and some people suspected that it was because her two children died one after another, and the Fucha clan was extremely sad and died. Fu Heng, who accompanied him, presided over the funeral for his sister.
Both culture and martial arts are complete and highly valued
Looking closely at Fu Heng's life and resume, it is not difficult to find that his promotion path can be described as smooth.
Under Qianlong's intentional promotion and cultivation, Fu Heng climbed all the way in a short period of time, and finally became an extremely popular subject. From the Blue Plume Bodyguard in the fifth year of Qianlong (1740) to the fourteenth year of Qianlong (1749), Fu Heng had already served as the chief military minister and was promoted to the title of First Class Loyal and Courageous Duke, but at this time Fu Heng was not yet 36 years old, which could be described as young and promising.
Although he was the head of the throne and his subjects, Fu Heng was humble and kind, brave in his duties, cautious and cautious, so he was relied on by the Qianlong Emperor throughout his life.
From the fourteenth year of Qianlong (1748) to the death of thirty-fifth year (1770) as the chief military minister for 22 years, he presided over the conquest of Dajinchuan, quelled the civil unrest in the Dzungar department, and finally died in the Burma War at the age of 48.
Qianlong is known as the Ten Perfections Old Man because of his Ten Perfections martial arts, and these Ten Perfections of Martial Arts include the very important Battle of Jinchuan, in which Fu Heng's role in this war is irreplaceable.
In the thirteenth year of Qianlong (1747), the Qing army expedition to Dajinchuan was unfavorable, the war was deadlocked, and the Qianlong Emperor was hesitating whether to return to the dynasty, at this time Fu Hengmao recommended himself one by one, took the initiative to ask for help, and then came to the front line, and as soon as he came to the Jinchuan front, he quickly recognized and punished the enemy's traitors.
Fu Heng inspected the terrain on the spot, studied the advantages and disadvantages of the two belligerents, straightened out military discipline, learned from the experience of previous defeats, improved the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the troops, and was preparing to win the Battle of Jinchuan with one stroke of the pen.
At this time, Qianlong recalled the army with a holy decree. Because Qianlong felt that this battle was not a big victory, but it was related to Fu Heng's future career, if this battle was lost, Fu Heng would definitely bear great responsibility, and out of protection for him, Qianlong would rather choose to abandon this battle.
After his return, Qianlong praised Fu Heng and awarded him a first-class loyal and courageous duke.
In the twentieth year of Qianlong (1755), Qianlong wanted to send troops to Yili, but there was no support from all over the Manchu Dynasty, only Fu Heng firmly supported Qianlong, and after the successful return of this battle, Fu Heng was made a first-class duke.
In the twenty-third year of Qianlong (1758), during the conquest of Burma, the war once again reached a stalemate, and Fu Heng once again took the initiative to ask for help and went to the front line to lead the troops to fight.
Under the leadership of Fu Heng, the Qing army won many battles and victories, and the war gradually turned in a favorable direction.
He died young, and his name was left in history
In November of the same year, Fu Heng besieged Laogongtun, and the Qing soldiers were infected with a large number of diseases due to the unsatisfactory water and soil, the climate was uncomfortable, and Fu Heng could no longer command the battle due to illness. In March of the thirty-fifth year of Qianlong (1770), Fu Heng returned to Beijing.
In May, his condition worsened and he died in July at the age of less than 50. The Qianlong Emperor was extremely saddened by his death, and gave him the title of "Wen Zhong".
Fu Heng is indeed different from ordinary foreign relatives, compared with those stupid children who eat and wait for death, Fu Heng not only cherishes the country and gives up a stable and comfortable life, but also exercises a skill that can write and fight. He served as the president of the pingding Dzungar strategy, the previous compilation of the dzungar strategy, and the continuation of the dzonggar strategy. At the same time, he wrote books such as "Rules of The Flag of the King", "Atlas of the Western Regions", and "Compilation of General Records of the Imperial Approval Dynasties".
He led troops to fight abroad, shared worries and solved difficulties for Qianlong, and made outstanding military achievements.
Therefore, Qianlong's favor for Fu Heng was partly because of his sister Empress Fucha, and on the greater side was because of Fu Heng's own excellent ability and his modest and cautious attitude of not being pampered and arrogant.
