Chapter 230: Just this one point, he has made great contributions
However, just as he pricked up his ears, he heard Yinzhen's disdainful chatter: "I have to say, I personally don't like Qianlong very much. Who made him ambitious, self-willed, and full of shortcomings? While other countries were vigorously carrying out industrial reforms, he slept on his merits and missed the best opportunity to catch up...]
He talked incessantly, and the Fourth Prince almost put his ears back after just putting them down.
Only then did I hear the little guy sigh: "But no matter how bad he is in other areas, it can't erase his contribution to the military. Although the ten complete martial arts skills are a bit exaggerated. 】
Fourth Prince:!!!
It's very urgent. Can you please speak slowly and carefully?
Let me listen to it and heal my wounded heart.
He also studied it carefully with Khan Ama and his brothers to see if they could find any useful clues. When the war between the two sides broke out, they could take advantage of the situation and kill Tsewang Arabtan.
Behind him, the Thirteenth Prince patted him on the shoulder and signaled him with his eyes to be patient.
Eighteenth brother is a chatterbox, he can talk a lot but he can talk even more in his heart.
As long as the Qing-Zhun war continues, he will always come up with something relevant. It will surely allow us to cross the river by feeling the stones and reduce unnecessary sacrifices and losses.
It's not good to force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to.
The Fourth Prince hummed somewhat dejectedly, and most of his expectations were gone.
As a result, Yinzhen sighed: "Well, speaking of it, by the end of Yongzheng's reign, the Qing Dynasty and the Dzungar Khanate had been fighting for fifty years. After fighting for so long, it ended in a draw. No one could beat them anymore, so they just negotiated. After Qianlong ascended the throne, he focused on domestic affairs and brought the economic development of the entire Qing Dynasty to its peak. The country was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. That's why there is the saying of Kangxi and Qianlong's prosperous era. ]
[While the Qing dynasty was powerful, the Dzungars were even more powerful.]
[The civil unrest was severe.]
[The entire Dzungar Khanate was falling apart due to the continuous civil unrest and fighting. The enemy's troubles were our opportunities! Qianlong seized this opportunity very accurately and thought of organizing his men to take advantage of the situation.]
Yes, yes, that’s right!
Kill him while he's sick.
Not only the Fourth Prince, but even Kangxi and the other princes showed approving looks.
Then it was awkward.
Yinzhen sighed: [It may be that the tragic situation of the Eight Banners in Beijing after the battle with Tongbo was too challenging for the civil and military officials, or it may be that they have been at peace for a long time and are unwilling to start a war. Anyway, after Qianlong proposed the idea of taking the opportunity to capture Yili, only his brother-in-law Fuheng supported him among the civil and military officials.]
[If he had lacked a bit of determination, Xinjiang might have been conquered by Tsarist Russia first. For this alone, he made a huge contribution.]
After all, after the late Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions were separated from the Central Plains dynasty for more than 900 years.
It was Qianlong who ignored all objections and insisted on sending troops, which added that rich land back to the territory of China.
For this alone, he deserves great credit.
[Not only was he good at decision-making, he also had a great strategic vision. The Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu, Yong Chang, proposed to bring all the food with him and send the troops to fight the rebellion, so that the army could carry enough food for half a year. But he was scolded by him. Hmm, I'm a little curious, how venomous was his tongue? Compared with Kangxi's father, was it worse?]
Even copying homework could result in public execution. Kangxi was speechless, as if his mother was speechless - he was completely speechless.
What's even more terrifying is that in order to avoid distracting Yinzhen's attention, the topic was changed to something far away.
As an emperor, he was ridiculed in such a way that he didn't even dare to cough.
I just hope the little one can speak a little more.
Kangxi:......
Just aggrieved.
Fortunately, his forbearance worked, and Yinzhen, who was not distracted, continued to talk: "Facts have proved that Qianlong was right. Speed is of the essence in war. It is a rare opportunity to catch up with the civil strife in Junggar. We must use the Mongolian walking method and use light cavalry to conduct long-distance attacks and quickly resolve the battle. 】
[In just three months, the entire Dzungar Khanate was conquered.]
The Fourth Prince, who had already been educated by his Thirteenth Brother on the reasons for the failure of Hetongbo, was still grieving, but then he heard such explosive news.
He was completely stunned.
I just wanted to grab Xiao Shiba's collar and ask him: How much?
Tell me again, how much is it?
How long did it take Qianlong to easily eliminate the major worries that had troubled the two emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng in the original history line for more than 50 years?
Three months? Just three months to completely end the entire Dzungar Khanate and make it history?
He never dreamed of doing something so big.
Kangxi was also confused.
I even suspected that there was something wrong with my ears.
When it was time for Yinxuan's nap and he left leisurely, he couldn't wait to find the other princes to verify.
After getting a positive answer, he became even more confused: "My great grandson has already achieved such great achievements, why does little Eighteen still look down on him?"
The Crown Prince and the other princes: ...
Is there a possibility that this is also what they are curious about?
As the saying goes, one beauty can cover up a hundred uglinesses.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who was called the Gate, sacrificed hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, emptied the court twice, and almost turned the Ming Dynasty into the Southern Ming Dynasty. He launched the coup d'état for his own selfish interests, fought for the throne with his own son, and unjustly killed the meritorious official Yu Qian.
The bad deeds are so numerous that it is hard to bear to look at them.
He was even able to get the temple name of Emperor Yingzong by releasing the descendants of Emperor Jianwen and abolishing the system of burying concubines alive with the dead.
Qianlong's achievements in expanding territory are definitely better than that of his, right?
Why does Xiao Shiba hate me so much?
This question cannot be asked in front of Yinzhen, otherwise the little guy would have to light a cigarette for himself: Why else? I hate iron for not being able to make steel.
If he had worked harder and been more open-minded, the fate of the Qing Dynasty would have changed dramatically.
But he chose to lie down at an age when he should be working hard, and even squandered his money. His main goal is to let the floods come after he dies.
I went to the south of the Yangtze River six times and built many pavilions and towers along the way.
The national treasury did not spend a single penny, and the entire economy was dependent on income from crimes such as silver.
The amount was so huge that Yinzhen couldn't bear to think about it. He wondered how many rich criminals had escaped legal punishment because of this.
I was extremely angry just thinking about how that guy brought the Qing Dynasty to its peak and also pushed it to the bottom. I wanted him and Li Longji to live fewer years and give the extra life to Qin Shihuang.
Let those two guys who were open at first but shady at last ascend to heaven early, so as to avoid bringing disaster to the country and the people. Let Zulong live a few more decades and do all the things that he didn't have time to do.
Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?
Unfortunately, Kangxi could not ask this question to the other princes, so naturally he could not hear such a unique answer.
They are now just rubbing their hands in preparation for the feat of overthrowing the entire Dzungar Khanate in three months.
There are active discussions on this.
The Fourth Prince didn't utter a word the entire time, he just lowered his head and smiled foolishly.
No matter what you ask him, he can always turn the topic back to the original historical thread and mention the heroic deeds of his four sons who pacified the Dzungar Khanate in three months.
