Myanmar Ganlong collection details! ! ! !

In the early Qing Dynasty, China and Myanmar did not establish formal official contacts for a long time, but the two countries were geographically adjacent and had frequent non-governmental exchanges. In the eighteenth year of Qianlong, through the introduction of Wu Shangxian, the owner of Yunnan Maolong Factory, which is closely related to Myanmar, the two countries began to have exchanges, and the Qing government allowed Myanmar envoys to come to China, which was the beginning of formal contacts between the two countries. However, this good start was interrupted by the recent civil strife in Myanmar. In the twenty years since Qianlong, the Burmese army has continuously invaded the chieftains of Gengma and Menglian in Qing Dynasty. In the thirty years of Qianlong, the Burmese army even invaded the Olive Dam of Jiulong River in Yunnan and entered the city according to the car. Liu Zao, governor of Yunnan-Guizhou Province, sent troops to crusade, and was defeated by improper command. In the first month of the 31st year of Qianlong (1766), the Qing government sent Yang Ying, a university student, from Shaanxi to Yunnan via Gansu. After Yang took office, he commanded the army to repel the Burmese invasion and recover lost ground. However, Angelababy became arrogant and despised his enemies. After moving the capital to Yongchang, he wrote to the king of Myanmar, claiming that he would lead hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer and demand that Myanmar surrender. So Burma went to war and the war between the two sides rekindled. The Qing army was unfavorable in several wars, and the Burmese army took the opportunity to disrupt Yunnan. Emperor Qianlong was furious when he heard the news, and ordered Angelababy to be taken to Beijing for execution. In the thirty-second year of Qianlong, General Mingrui was sent to Burma in five ways. At the beginning of the war, the Qing army won Lien Chan and made rapid progress, approaching Awa, the capital of Myanmar (now Mandalay, Myanmar). However, after all, he is alone and has no food or grass. Finally defeated in February of the following year, Mingrui also committed suicide.

The news of the fiasco of the Qing army shocked Emperor Qianlong. When he saw that the military situation was urgent, he "had to go to the governor to dispatch", so he named Fu Heng as the deputy general, Ali Zhou and Pell as the deputy generals, and Shuhed as the counselor to handle the affairs of conquering Myanmar. In February of the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong, Fu Heng led more than thirteen thousand six hundred soldiers to war. Before he left, Emperor Qianlong personally sealed him in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and presented his armor to Fu Heng to show his trust and hope.

In March of this year, Fu Heng arrived in Yunnan. In April, I went to Yongchang and Tengyue to inspect the situation and prepare for the war. He learned that the Burmese army's defense "depends entirely on fences" and that "the Qing army has always attacked it with ordinary guns, to no avail", so "those who are good at making guns when visiting Wenmaolong Factory will bring a catty of copper and iron to each soldier when they join the army in the future, and when they attack fences, they will cast guns at any time to surprise them". He also called people to discuss the overall plan of the invasion. In view of the lessons of General Mingrui's land invasion, Myanmar was able to concentrate its forces on defense and suffered repeated defeats. Fu Heng decided to go hand in hand with land. Because Awa, the capital of Myanmar, is in the west of Dajinshan River, Awa will still be separated from the river if it enters from Xibo River on the East Road, so I decided to take a route out of Hexi, passing through Meng Gong (now west of Myitkyina, Myanmar) and Yang Meng (now Myitkyina, Myanmar), and taking Awa directly, which is a master; One route goes to the east bank of Irrawaddy River, and goes south through Jiajiang River in Mengmi (now Mao Jie, Myanmar), which is a partial teacher; The other road went down the Irrawaddy River and was built in Mamo (now bhamo, Myanmar) to connect the first two armies, strengthen the momentum and supply the needs of the two armies.

But to realize the principle of keeping pace with land, we must first solve the problem of ships. Long before Fu Heng arrived in Yunnan, Emperor Qianlong had planned to build a ship and sent Ali Zhou, a deputy general, to handle the matter. But Ali Zhou said, "The out-of-bounds gorge is dangerous, the ship is difficult to sail, and there is nowhere to stop along the river." Later, Fu Xian and Zuo Santai were ordered to investigate the truth. "What they said is equivalent to Ali Zhou." In this way, shipbuilding will have to be put on hold for the time being. After Fu Heng arrived in Yunnan, he inquired about the local residents in detail and learned that there are many trees in Wenggu Mountain near Mamo, and the Bison Dam, which is located next to this mountain, has a cool climate and no miasma, which is the advantage of shipbuilding, so Fu Heng sent Fu Xiandu to transport materials and let Hu Guangwei's craftsmen build ships. Soon, many ships were built. Emperor Qianlong was very happy to hear the news. He awarded a special prize and wrote a poem "Shipbuilding" to strengthen this move.

At the same time of shipbuilding, other preparations for Fu Heng's expedition to Myanmar were also intensified. The troops increased by the Qing government arrived in Yunnan one after another, and horses and food were generally available. In July of the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong, there were tens of thousands of elite divisions of Manchu and Han, more than 60,000 mules and horses, and various firearms, such as Ji Shen firearms in Beijing, rockets in Henan, and nine bronze cannons in Sichuan. But at that time, it was still early from the first frost, and the subordinates would say, "The land in the south is crowded, and the group discussion should start after the first frost." Although Fu Heng hesitated, he was afraid that time would drag on, which would not only consume a lot of materials, but also make soldiers feel relaxed, making things even more difficult. So he ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates and resolutely ordered the invasion, intending to take advantage of the enemy's inadequate preparation to attack and take it by surprise. On July 20th of the same year, Fu Heng set out to lay a flag. At that time, Ali Zhou, the deputy general, was ill, and Fu Heng asked him to stay for illness. Ali Zhou insisted on signing, and Fu Heng agreed, leaving only Agui to build warships in Mamo. After Fu Heng led the troops to Jiujiang River, he closed the boat and built a raft. In ten days, the whole army crossed Jiujiang. Then he marched to the west. On the way, two chiefs, Meng Gong and Yang Meng, surrendered successively, "each of them offered four elephants, one hundred cows and hundreds of stones of grain". At this time, Myanmar was in the autumn harvest season, and there was no gathering of troops for a while. At the same time, Yu Gong and Yu Yang were far away from the center of Myanmar, so Fu Hengjun advanced two thousand miles almost without bloodshed. However, during this period, the weather was very bad. "Only when the rain clears, the mountains are high and the mud is slippery, and you take the lead, the grain account will be lost, and the sergeant will lie on his stomach in the rain and get sick." In addition, the Qing army is often lost in a strange place, and it is really difficult to go deep. Faced with such a sinister dilemma, Fu Heng had to change its original plan to capture Mushu (now Gamburu, Myanmar) and take Awa directly by land. In the same year 10, he returned to Mamo and joined the East Road A Gui Army. Fu Heng, who led the army, "ran thousands of miles, exhausted his military strength, and never met a thief. He was ashamed and lost his reputation." Nevertheless, Fu Heng took command of the town despite his illness, trying to reverse this unfavorable situation. Seeing that most of the warships needed for the water war have been built, the Fujian-Guangdong Navy has also arrived in Dammamo. He redeployed his troops, taking Ali Zhou as the west road and A Gui as the east road and descending along the southeast river. He personally supervised the ship division in the middle road and went south along the Irrawaddy River as the Zhong Jun. At this time, Myanmar also assembled troops to fight. After the fierce confrontation between the two sides, the Burmese army retreated and the Qing army won all three wars. However, although the Qing army succeeded for a while, Ali Zhou died, and many officers and men were injured or sick, unable to attack Awa again. So he concentrated all his strength and tried to seize the old Guantun, 500 miles north of Awa City, to force Myanmar to beg for mercy and surrender. In front of Laoguantun, there is a big river. The Burmese army set up many tall fences along the west bank of Jiangdong, dug triple trenches outside the fences, and laterally increased the wood outside the trenches, making sharp branches turn outward into Abatis, making people impassable. This is the usual method of the Burmese army. Fu Hengxian ordered his men to build earthen platforms, put cannons on them and bombard enemy positions. Although the shell penetrated the fence, it did not collapse, and the damaged part was immediately repaired by the Burmese army. Fu Heng see this method doesn't work, so "belongs to the long hook", but the rope can't be broken. Later, he sent soldiers to "replace hundreds of old vines and hook them at night" and let thousands of people drag them, but the vines were cut off by the Burmese army axe. This method failed again. Although he failed many times, Fu Heng was still unwilling, so he attacked with fire again. "First, change the lever card with a gun, and then pay the cream by employing people. The cards burst together, and the super city reached the gate. The river began to be foggy, and it has stopped so far. The gate wood can't be moistened, but it is worth fighting against the wind, so I abandoned it. " Finally, Fu Heng sent soldiers to dig tunnels and bury them with gunpowder. However, after the gunpowder was detonated, although "the city gate suddenly rose more than ten feet, and the thief sounded loud", it still collapsed. "Three ups and downs don't move, cover the slope of the city gate, the tunnel is flat, and the thickness of the homeland is unbreakable."

At this time, Fu Hengruo continued to besiege Laoguantun with a small number of troops, and directly attacked Awa from the west bank of the river with most of his troops, which may reverse the unfavorable situation. However, he insisted on taking the old officer as the whole army, so the Qing army was in a dilemma. In particular, the worsening miasma has caused a large number of staff reductions in the Qing army. In a report to Emperor Qianlong, Fu Heng said, "Nai suffered from severe furuncle this year, and the winter has not diminished. Originally, each battalion had 30,000 soldiers, and there were 1,000 soldiers. According to the plan, there are only 13 thousand soldiers left. "

After receiving the report, Emperor Qianlong knew that the Qing army was in trouble, so he ordered a temporary withdrawal and ordered Fu Heng to return to Beijing. "Old officer chariot can't stay long, bison dam in high. Consider leaving troops there to guard against it, because the toast is equal to the terrain outside the customs. Let it retreat temporarily, and then March as a soldier next year, and announce to the public ... The imperial edict Fu Heng wants Xiang Gui to organize the aftermath, that is, to rush to Beijing. "

At the same time, under the offensive of the Qing army, the Burmese army became more and more frightened. In addition, Agui's warships cut off the contact between the Burmese army on the east and west coasts, and they didn't want to fight any more. So they took the initiative to send people to send documents to Qingying, asking both sides to choose a moderate place to negotiate and stop the war. Fu Heng gathered people to discuss countermeasures, and A Gui and other generals were "more soldiers, dying every day, fighting for surrender and withdrawal". Although Fu Heng didn't want the negotiations to end, there was no other good way but to listen to the opinions of the generals. After some bargaining and negotiation, the two sides finally reached an agreement on a truce and withdrawal. In the same year1February, Fu Heng played, saying that Myanmar had promised to pay tribute to the Qing side for ten years and requested the Qianlong Emperor to approve the agreement. Emperor Qianlong has already ordered the temporary withdrawal of troops, and now Myanmar has promised to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty, which will of course be approved soon. The war that lasted for several years is over.

In March of the thirty-fifth year of Qianlong, Fu Heng returned to Beijing, and Emperor Qianlong ordered him and his son Fu Longan to be ministers in charge of the office of internal affairs. Soon, however, Fu Heng's situation is very bad. The main reason is that Myanmar has not fulfilled its commitment to pay tribute. Emperor Qianlong thought it disgraceful and was very angry. I can't bear to punish Fu Heng because his illness is getting worse. Fu Heng was ashamed of himself and died a few months later, less than fifty years old. Emperor Qianlong personally went to his mansion to pay homage and ordered a public funeral in the imperial clan town. Posthumous title is "Wen Zhong". Later, Emperor Qianlong paid homage to Fu Heng's tomb in the east. In the fifth year of Jiaqing (1796), Fu Kang 'an, the son of Fu Heng, died and was made king of Fu Heng County.

As a favorite of Emperor Qianlong, Fu Heng spent 23 years in the Ministry of War, and he was "beside the Japanese". His great influence on politics in the early years of Qianlong is obvious. First of all, he promoted and reused many talented people with literary talent and military talent. "Only by respecting predecessors and attracting backwardness is the priority." Some accomplished civil servants and military commanders, such as Sun Jiagan, Yue Zhongqi, Lu Zhuo, Bi Yuan, Sun Shiyi, Altay, A Gui, etc., all showed their talents and elegant demeanor through his hands. "So, for a time, many handsome guys gathered in North Korea." Secondly, he is "modest" to his subordinates, "without arrogance and elimination". After the death of Wang Youdun, a senior official in the 23rd year of Qianlong, Fu Heng strongly recommended his son Wang Chengxiu, who was finally awarded the post of director of the Ministry of War.

Later, Wang was appointed as the magistrate of Shaowu, Fujian. Because his mother was eighty years old and no one took care of her, Fu Heng asked Wang to stay and work in Beijing. Shu Hede, the minister of the Ministry of War, offended Emperor Qianlong for handling the defection of Amur Sana 'a, and was not sent to the garrison. Fu Heng deliberately took out his own money to buy a house. Later, after Shuhed was pardoned, he gave it to him. Because Fu Heng is very humble to the next generation, he often solves problems for it. So his old friends "all appreciate his virtue and never forget it for a long time."

And Fu Heng was "quite luxurious, well-dressed, and well-equipped", which contributed to the increasingly prosperous luxury at that time. Fu Heng, in particular, often cannot severely punish officials who take bribes and pervert the law and harm the people. Gao Feng, the salt envoy of the two Huai Dynasties, was sentenced to death by the Ministry of Justice for corruption. "If you hook up with Japan, you will hate its greed and violence, and you will want to write it down. Fu Wenzhong (that is, Fu Heng) will beg on his behalf:' May the emperor remember the love of the virtuous emperor and the imperial concubine and avoid their death.' The emperor said, "what should I do if the queen's brother breaks the law?" Fu shuddered, and he was ordered to punish. ".So a soldier named Wang Song joined the army at that time and criticized Fu Heng for being" generous and gaining public reputation. " I don't know that I have the responsibility to help the country, but I know that I am pure and dirty, and I have a reputation for a while. "I'm afraid someone will be partial to others in the future, and someone will pretend to be a public reputation to help their own self-interest. If you play the wind of persuasion, it will be very bad. " Even after Xiao Shenyang came to power in the late Qianlong period, the prevailing trend of stealing security in officialdom was related to Fu Heng. He said: "The late Prime Minister Yong (referring to small Shenyang) was in charge of the government, but he was redundant because of the wind and stole customs because of the sky. In fact, it is the inspiration of Wen Zhonggong (referring to Fu Heng). " This is not unreasonable.
