Introduction:
In the forty-fourth year of Qianlong, when Qianlong was approaching his seventies, he felt nostalgic. He recalled the old ministers who had made contributions to the imperial court, and wrote 23 poems from the bottom of his heart for some of the courtiers who had made outstanding contributions. Among them are the following five heroes.
Qianlong
A famous general in the Qianlong period - Zhaohui
General Zhaohui's grandmother was Emperor Yongzheng's biological mother, Empress Xiaogongren, Wu Yashi. In other words, Yongzheng is his uncle. In the ninth year of Yongzheng, he entered the office as a pen post, that is, he copied and translated Manchu Chinese. This status allowed him to quickly join the Military Aircraft Department and was awarded the post of Military Aircraft Zhangjing. Because of the blood relationship, Yongzheng takes care of him. But he has been working behind the scenes, and has not led troops to the front line for training.
Until the thirteenth year of Qianlong, when the imperial court pacified Jinchuan, General Zhaohui was appointed to supervise the grain and grass, and once again entered the military aircraft department. Six years later, the Qing court sent troops to quell the Dzungar rebellion. In the twentieth year of Qianlong, General Zhaohui really came to the front of the curtain and was stationed in Uriya Sutai and Balikun to fight.

In the 21st year of Qianlong, the Qing court recovered Ili, and the Dingxi general Celeng was not qualified to take on the burden of the general military affairs. Qianlong ordered General Zhaohui to be appointed as the right deputy general of Dingbian to be responsible for the aftermath of Yili. Soon after, Dash Zero and others rebelled, and General Zhaohui personally led his army to quell the rebellion, successfully killing more than 1,000 rebels.
General Zhaohui led his army in many fierce battles with the rebels in Urumqi, and the war horses were almost exhausted. When besieged by the rebels, General Zhaohui and everyone were fortunate to get out of trouble with the help of Yar Hashan, the minister of Balikun. When Emperor Qianlong learned of this, he personally commended General Zhaohui for his bravery and made him a first-class duke. After that, General Zhaohui performed well in the process of pursuing and suppressing the rebellion, and Emperor Qianlong appreciated him very much and rewarded him continuously.

From the 22nd year of Qianlong to the first month of the 23rd year of Qianlong, General Zhaohui actively participated in the suppression of the rebellion of Daxiao and Zhuo, showing an unusually brave fighting spirit. In recognition of his heroic performance, the Qianlong Emperor rewarded General Zhaohui with peacock feathers in both eyes as a symbol of his military exploits. After returning to the capital, General Zhaohui was awarded important positions such as co-organizer of the university scholar and secretary of the criminal department. However, in the twenty-ninth year of Qianlong, General Zhaohui died of illness at the age of fifty-six. Qianlong personally went to his funeral to pay respects, expressing a high degree of affirmation of his military exploits and showing his deep attention to General Zhaohui. In the first year of Jiaqing, General Zhaohui was given the Taimiao, demonstrating his immortal status in history.
Fucha Mingrui
The heroic feat of the famous general Fucha Mingrui of the Qianlong Dynasty
During the Qianlong Dynasty, in addition to the Xiaoxian Empress Fucha, the general Fu Heng, and the county king Fukangan, there was also a famous general in history - Fucha Mingrui. Mingrui was the nephew of Fu Heng, one of Qianlong's five ministers, and Mingrui became an admirable military hero during the Qianlong period for his bravery and military exploits.
Mingrui entered the government as a first-class duke (inheritance) in the 21st year of Qianlong. At first, he entered his official career as an official student. However, he was not promoted solely by virtue of his connections, but gradually rose to prominence by virtue of his outstanding ability and courageous combat performance.
In the twenty-first year of Qianlong, Mingrui led the troops to quell the rebellion of Amur Sana, and was appointed as the head of the household department after his military exploits. Qianlong even added two words "Yi Yong" in front of his duke title to express his affirmation of Ming Rui's bravery. Soon after, he was rewarded with a dazzling feather for his rebellious exploits in the rebellion against Huo Jizhan, and his portrait was displayed in the Ziguang Pavilion as a reward.
In the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong, Mingrui was appointed as the Ili general and became the first Ili general of the Qing Dynasty, which was a high position in the military rank. The speed of his promotion was remarkable, and Qianlong personally praised and rewarded him many times.
In the thirtieth year of Qianlong, Mingrui stepped forward and led the army to quell the Hui uprising. At the same time, he repeatedly responded to the intrusion of the Burmese army, and the two governors of Yunnan and Guizhou committed suicide due to the disadvantage of the conquest of Burma. At this critical moment, in the thirty-second year of Qianlong, Mingrui was appointed as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and the secretary of the military department, and went to Burma.
Qianlong had high expectations for Mingrui's achievements. Ming Shwe fought valiantly in the battle of Amur Sana, which led to the rout of the Burmese army, and Qianlong gave him a yellow ribbon for his exploits, marking his elevation of status. However, in the 33rd year of Qianlong, the Burmese army attacked again, and Mingrui asked the governor of Fujian for help, but received no support. When the Qing army was already exhausted, Mingrui fought alone with many times the enemy army in order to protect his subordinates from breaking through, and was finally seriously injured. In order to avoid falling into captivity by the Burmese army, he chose to commit suicide.
This heroic battle is admirable, especially as a leader, who chose to protect the lives of his subordinates, showing noble military qualities. After Qianlong learned the news of Mingrui's suicide, he was deeply saddened and went to the mansion to mourn in person. Mingrui became a hero who sacrificed his life for the country, and his loyal and brave deeds will forever be recorded in history and revered by people.
Aligon
The heroic feat of Arigon, the Duke of Guoyi
Aligon, a Manchurian nobleman, was born in the Niu Hulu family, and he originally belonged to the Yidu-Kupilon-Yin De branch. Among the many brothers, Aligon was originally a relatively unknown one, however, during the Yongzheng Dynasty, Yin De's line was brought to prominence because of Yongzheng's protection.
Yin De's glory did not stagnate due to the decline of the Alinga lineage, but was reused by the emperors of the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, and Yin De's grandson was even more in the position of the foreman and the minister of military aircraft. However, in the battle of pacifying Jinchuan, the relatives failed to behave as hoped, and Qianlong was disappointed in them, and finally ordered that he should be killed in person.
Ali Gon took over the title of Duke Guoyi, and in the fifteenth year of Qianlong, he was promoted to the governor of Huguang and became a feudal official. In the twentieth year of Qianlong, he joined the military aircraft department and assisted the general of Dingxi, Da Dang, to pursue the rebel leader Amur Sana. In this pursuit, Arigon showed extraordinary military talent, killing hundreds of enemy soldiers twice, and winning Qianlong's commendation.
Subsequently, Aligon participated in the suppression of the rebellion of Daxiao and Zhuo, and in the 24th year of Qianlong, he was awarded the head of the rebel leader Huo Jizhan, so he was rewarded with dazzling eyes. After returning to Beijing, he was rewarded with the honor of riding a horse in the Forbidden City, and in the suppression of the rebellion in Mailamu, his son Feng Sheng'er was promoted to the rank of Blue Feather Guard.
In the 31st year of Qianlong, Ali Gon participated in the expedition to Burma as a counselor. After the death of the great general Mingrui, Fu Heng went out as the main general, and Ali Gon served as the deputy general. However, in the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong, Ali Gon suffered from carbuncles. Although the doctor went to treat him, the condition relapsed. Fu Heng ordered him to stay in the army to recuperate, but Aligon insisted on going out with illness and captured three villages in a row.
However, Aligon's physical condition deteriorated, and he eventually died heroically in battle. Qianlong gave him the nickname "Xiangzhuang" and enshrined in the Xian Liang Temple.
Thirty-five years later, Aligon was enshrined in the ancestral hall of Kupilon and continued to erect a monument for the family. Although Arigun died of illness, his son Feng Shengyi continued to make contributions and became famous in history. Aligon's life is legendary, and his heroic feats on the battlefield made him an immortal general of the Qianlong Dynasty.
Yue Zhongqi

However, this did not stop him from embarking on a bumpy military journey.
Yue Zhongqi's father, Yue Shenglong, was the Minister of Parliament and the Governor of Sichuan in the Kangxi Dynasty, which laid the foundation for Yue Zhongqi's love of military affairs in his early years. Not only that, he was widely involved in the fields of scripture and history, military books, astronomy, geography, etc., and became a knowledgeable military strategist. This kind of cultivation made him get the position of alternate acquaintance through donating officials when he first entered the official career, but Yue Zhongqi did not prefer a civilian career, but a military career in the army.
During the Kangxi Dynasty, Yue Zhongqi frequently made military exploits, and the emperor praised his performance and gave him the position of cavalry captain. However, during the Yongzheng Dynasty, he was involved in the power struggle between Yongzheng and Nian Qianyao and became a member of the political whirlpool. Although Lu Liuliang's case failed to convict him, it left a shadow on his career.
However, it was this shadow that made Yue Zhongqi even more tenacious, and he abandoned Wen Congwu and embarked on a military journey. Under the command of the Fuyuan general Nian Qianyao, he participated in the suppression of the rebellion of Lobzang Danjin, successfully pursued the fleeing enemy, and showed outstanding military strategic talent. Although he was reproached by Emperor Yongzheng in the Battle of Jinchuan, he was still not discouraged, insisted on supervising the battle, and rose to the occasion.
In the year of the Yongzheng Dynasty, Nian Qianyao lost power, and Yue Zhongqi was implicated again because of the Lu Liuliang case and was demoted to a concubine. However, after Qianlong ascended the throne, Yue Zhongqi's fate changed. Due to the defeat of the Qing court in the suppression of the rebellion in Dajinchuan, Qianlong decided to reuse Yue Zhongqi.

His suggestion was adopted, and he pursued the victory, crushing the enemy army in one fell swoop, and winning a valuable victory for the Qing Dynasty. This victory also became the most brilliant page of his personal military career, and won high praise from Emperor Qianlong.
However, the ups and downs of fate did not end. In the later Battle of Hami, Yue Zhongqi was once again rebuked by the emperor for his poor battle situation, and his title and title of crown prince were stripped away. Arrested and imprisoned, facing an uncertain verdict of life and death. Although he was finally sentenced to "beheading and waiting for prison", Yue Zhongqi did not sink there.
After spending several years as a commoner, Qianlong once again recognized Yue Zhongqi's contributions. Yue Zhongqi was appointed governor of Shaanxi and Gansu and re-entered the political arena. His military talents were once again brought into play, and when he put down the Cangwang Rebellion and the Chen Kunhui Rebellion, Yue Zhongqi went out with illness and showed the world the image of a true warrior.
On the way back to Beijing, Yue Zhongqi died of illness, ending his legendary and bumpy life. In order to express his respect for him, Qianlong personally ordered Yue Zhongqi to be buried.
