The Big and Small Jinchuans are located in the easternmost part of the Kangzang Plateau, in the northeastern part of Sichuan Province. Da Jinchuan is in the west and Xiao Jinchuan is in the east. They are named after the water (Da Jinchuan and Xiao Jinchuan).
The residents around Jinchuan and Jinchuan are of the same ethnic group as the Tibetans. Their leader, Hailam, had been granted the title of hereditary chieftain during the Ming Dynasty, and was called the Evolved Zen Master of Jinchuan Temple.
This descendant of Hailam, Burgish, surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the seventh year of Shunzhi. During the Kangxi period, the hereditary Zen master Evolution was called Janaba. The descendants of Janaba also became evolutionary Zen masters one generation after another. The great-grandson is called Zewang.
One of the grandsons of Janaba's side family was named Shaluoben. In the 59th year of Kangxi's reign, he followed Yue Zhongqi to attack Tibet. After making great achievements, he was recommended by Yue Zhongqi and Nian Gengyao reported it to Yongzheng. In the first year of Yongzheng's reign, he was appointed as the pacifier, and the yamen was established at a place called Garya on the east bank of Dajin River.
From then on, the Greater and Lesser Jinchuans were divided into two parts. The place where Shaluoben was located was called the Greater Jinchuan Chieftain, and the place where Zewang was located was called the Little Jinchuan Chieftain. The Yamen of Zewang was established in Meinuo.
Shaluoben was an ambitious man. He first married one of his daughters to Zewang, and then kidnapped Zewang in the eleventh year of Qianlong's reign, taking away Zewang's seal of "Evolutionary Zen Master", which was considered unified. The big and small Jinchuan.
However, after annexing Xiaojinchuan, he still felt that it was not enough and wanted to attack other chieftains. His meaning was very simple. He wanted to establish an "independent kingdom" in Sichuan. This was absolutely intolerable in the eyes of Hongli. Qianlong He dispatched Zhang Guangsi as governor of Sichuan to deal with Shaluoben.
Zhang Guangsi led 30,000 troops to the Meino of Xiaojinchuan Tusi, but he was still unable to attack Lewuwei guarded by Shaluoben and Garya guarded by Shaluoben's son Langka. Shaluoben built many stone bunkers, and Zhang Guangsi used the method of "making blockhouses with bunkers", but in the end it was all in vain, not only time consuming, but also food and salary, and the lives of soldiers.
Zhang Guangsi was stupid enough to use the so-called method of "making money with money" to keep Zewang's younger brother Liang Erji by his side, but he had no idea that Liang Erji was already Shaluoben's son-in-law. , and took possession of Zewang's wife Akuo. All Zhang Guangsi's actions were reported intact to Shaluoben by Liang Erji. Not only that, there was a Han man named Wang Qiu next to Zhang Guangsi, and this Wang Qiu had also been bribed by Sha Luoben a long time ago.
In April of the 13th year of Qianlong's reign, Qianlong sent Eyidu's great-grandson, a first-class bachelor, to Sichuan in the name of Minister of Economic Affairs and Strategy to supervise Zhang Guangsi's attack. After Neqin arrived, he directly killed the two spies as an imperial envoy, and then ordered the entire army to capture Garya within three days. As a result, three days later, Renju, the bravest general, was killed in battle, but Garya still stood. The entire Qing army was discouraged, even Neqin himself was discouraged.
As for Neqin, he reported to Qianlong that Gar Cliff was not easy to fight and that he would have to wait until next year. Only by then would he have 30,000 elite soldiers to do anything about it. Soon he was sent to Qianlong, and there was no need to send an additional 30,000 troops to save military expenses. It would be better to wait for two or three years. Maybe "there is an opportunity, but it is not certain." Qianlong was furious when he saw that a dignified academician and minister of economics could actually say such inconsistent and ambiguous words. He recalled him directly and sent him to serve in front of the Northwest Army. In December, Qianlong became more and more angry and sent a guard to go to Neqin's side and behead him with the "relic knife" left by Neqin's grandfather Ye Bilong. And Zhang Guangsi, an incompetent person, had already been executed before he was beheaded by Qianlong after accepting his marriage.
As mentioned earlier, Yue Zhongqi was released in the second year of Qianlong's reign. He could only stay at home and did not dare to take any action. In April of the thirteenth year of Qianlong's reign, Qianlong suddenly appointed this veteran general in the name of "General Soldier" and sent him to Zhang Guangsi. Bian went to serve (Zhang Guangsi and Ne Qin were still alive at this time), and he was also controlled by Ne Qin, the Minister of Economic Affairs.
As soon as Yue Zhongqi took office, he was appointed "Admiral of Sichuan" by Qianlong. Neqin asked Yue Zhongqi to go to Dangba on the north side of Dagarya. Yue Zhongqi was truly worthy of being a veteran. He was an honest and brave general and captured Dangba as soon as he went there.
Yue Zhongqi had a total of 7,000 Han soldiers and local soldiers at that time, and asked Zhang Guangsi to transfer 3,000 soldiers. Zhang Guangsi's death was really not a loss, but he actually refused Yue Zhongqi's request at this time. Yue Zhongqi's idea was to first go north from Dangba and attack Kangbada. From Kangbada, he could capture Lewuwei in Shaluoben, and then return to attack the Garya of Shaluoben's nephew Langka. Zhang Guangsi still disagrees with this plan.
Zhang Guangsi and Neqin were killed one after another. After Fu Heng was appointed as the general manager, Yue Zhongqi, with Fu Heng's support, captured Kangbada in one fell swoop and directly approached Lewuwei. Saraben was scared! He was well aware of Yue Zhongqi's ability, because he once served as a general under Yue Zhongqi. At the same time, he also had unrequited kindness to Yue Zhongqi. Yue Zhongqi not only recommended him, but also took away the wealth that Nian Gengyao had taken away from him when he was the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Mei Tongzhai returned it to him.
So when Yue Zhongqi approached Lewuwei, he immediately sent people to negotiate for a surrender. Yue Zhongqi asked Fu Heng for instructions, and Fu Heng believed that the surrender was possible. Yue Zhongqi then took only twelve followers and rode thirteen horses, boldly walked into Lewuwei, and chatted all night in Shaluoben's village, showing the demeanor of a general. The next day, Shaluoben and his son Langji followed Yue Zhongqi and surrendered in front of Fu Heng's army. They returned the neighboring chieftain lands they occupied and swore never to invade, to pay tribute on time, to capture those who escaped, and to return what they had plundered. People and horses, Fu Heng also accepted the decree (following the emperor's wishes) and pardoned Shaluoben's crime.
Qianlong was very happy and issued an order to reward Yue Zhongqi. He first restored him to the dukedom to avoid the loss of more than 700,000 taels of silver when he conquered Galdan Celing. Qianlong also added the title of "Prince Shaobao" to the dukedom. If the word "prestige" is added in front, it means "prestige", and even "horse riding in the Forbidden City" is specifically allowed. Later, in the 17th year of Qianlong's reign, Cangwang, the chieftain of Zagu near Xiaojinchuan, also acted recklessly, and was actually caught by Yue Zhongqi like an eagle catching a chicken. Two years later, Yue Zhongqi died while serving as the admiral of Sichuan. He was the only Han in the Qing Dynasty who became a "general" (it should be noted that Nian Gengyao was also a general, but the bannerman of the Han army to which Nian Gengyao belonged was , rather than pure Han people. In the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Han army bannermen and Han people were two completely different concepts).
Later, when Shaluoben got older, he handed over the military and political affairs to his nephew Langka. In the 23rd year of Qianlong's reign, Langka made plans for Xiaojinchuan again and expelled Xiaojinchuan's chieftains Zewang and Gebusheli. The toast Selengdunduobu. At this time, Governor Kaitai was in charge of Sichuan. Kaitai mobilized the troops of several chieftains to recover Xiaojinchuan and Gebusheli.
Four years later, the unwilling Langka attacked Dangba where Yue Zhongqi had been stationed. Qianlong sent Altai, the governor of Sichuan, to suppress it. As a result, he mobilized nine chieftain soldiers and surrounded Dajinchuan. Langka surrendered. After Altai agreed, Qianlong accused him of being too tolerant and should be destroyed.
Later, Langka died, and his son Sonomu succeeded him as chieftain. He was wiser and no longer became an enemy of Xiao Jinchuan, but wanted to win over Xiao Jinchuan. At this time, the chieftain monk Gesang (son of Zewang) in Xiaojinchuan was also very ambitious. He hit it off with Sonomu, and they agreed to attack together in the 36th year of Qianlong's reign. Sonomu attacked Bushili, and he attacked Oke. Even Ming Zheng.
After Qianlong got the news, he was furious, gave Altai to commit suicide, and sent a Manchu Guilin to become the governor of Sichuan. Guilin was smart and used unexpected means to surprise Gebusheli and successfully capture it. At this time, Qianlong asked the academician Wen Fu, in the name of "Dingbian Right Vice General", to lead Admiral Dong Tianbi and others to Wenchuan County and captured two strongholds.
In the winter of this year, Qianlong asked Agui to take charge of the military affairs of the South Road in Guilin's place in the name of counselor and minister, and also promoted Wen Fu to "General Dingbian". Agui was very powerful. He captured Menuo in one fell swoop. After occupying Didam, a dramatic scene appeared. Agui captured Zewang who was retiring there, and then sent a message to Sonomu in Dajinchuan, asking him to bundle up the monks. Gesang, Sonomu ignored him (he arrested me, and then asked others to bundle up his son. At this point, the author still thinks it is better to send the message to his son).
If Wen Fu could trust Yue Zhongqi like Fu Heng at this time and let Dong Tianbi go deep behind enemy lines and directly attack Garya and Lewuwei in Dajinchuan, things would be simple. But this Wen Fu was a bit like Zhang Guangsi. He was passively aggressive and built bunkers. In June of the 38th year of Qianlong's reign, Dong Tianbi died in an enemy raid. He also died when the camp was captured. In the chaos of the army. Regarding the territory gained by Xiao Jinchuan, it was lost again.
Qianlong was so angry at this time that he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on, so he had no choice but to promote Agui to the rank of General Dingxi. Agui also fought for five days and five nights in October, and finally regained the Meinuo of Xiaojinchuan. The next year, Agui divided his troops into dozens of groups and attacked simultaneously. This frightened Sonomu. He poisoned Senggesang and handed over his body to beg for surrender.
Agui did not make peace with Altai this time, and continued to fight until the end of the 40th year of Qianlong's reign. Garya was surrounded, Sonomu surrendered, and Agui escorted him to the capital.
At this time, the Jinchuan and Jinchuan issues, which had been raging for more than 20 years, came to an end. It could be said that it was "a chaos, you just finish singing and I will appear on the stage." Qianlong's military expenditure for suppression was more than 70 million taels.
