Looking back on Mingrui's dispatch of troops, since Zhangziba engaged in the battle with Burmese thieves, the thief army has increased day by day and the Qing army has decreased, and the lone army has no help, and it has turned to Myanmar.
For fifty or sixty days, there has never been a defeat, and it is difficult to continue because the rear grain route has been cut off. When the army was withdrawn, Mingrui personally supervised the battle every morning, and fought and left, often when he returned to the tent, it was already dusk, and he had not eaten a grain of rice or drunk a spoonful of water. The food has been cut off for a long time, and Mingrui only eats one piece of beef jerky every day, and he has to share it with the soldiers around him. The 12,000 officers and soldiers under his command were all hungry, tired and disabled, and Mingrui was compassionate, but there were wounded and sick, so he ordered the sergeants to weave stretchers and carry them together, and he couldn't bear to leave a single person. Therefore, although it was extremely difficult along the way, none of the soldiers complained or complained. As for Mingrui's death, it is not that he can't escape, but because he is worried that he has not broken his life, why can he return his life to the people of the court. Qianlong, who was thousands of miles away, knew that the road behind him was unstable, and he had already had an edict to "return the whole division quickly", but he could not deliver it because the road was cut off by the enemy. Mingrui looked at the north late every night, and when he was in a dilemma, he hesitated and decided to die in his post. He could not bear to lose his command and the whole army was annihilated, so he marched in a group and strengthened himself, so that tens of thousands of Burmese thieves could not overthrow the official army. Until he arrived at Xiao Mengyu, he was only a few dozen miles away from Wan Town, and he was sure that the whole army could return to China safely, so he died outside the country. Mingrui thought about it before and after, and thought about it carefully, how could it not be sad and heartbroken!When the military situation was becoming more and more embarrassing day by day, the fighting spirit was becoming more and more fierce day by day, and he once said to the soldiers: "The Burmese thieves already know that our army is exhausted, and I still fight to the death with them. Even though they are so poor now, if everyone still struggles, the thief will be afraid, and it will be easier for those who come after him to take over and succeed. "The loyalty of seeking the country is beyond the reach of ordinary impassioned people.
On the day of the Emperor's Day, the Qing army brigade returned to China one after another and arrived at the camp in Wan Town. Yunnan Governor Euning was afraid that the trick would be exposed, although he did not know whether Ming Rui was alive or dead, he had already taken the first step and impeached the generals in the rear for the crime of cowardice and trapping the division to the imperial court. When the news of Mingrui's death came, Qianlong was very sad, and knew that the governor of Yunnan was also guilty, so he removed Erning from his post and investigated it, but it was too deep to hide the evidence, so he escaped. But the troops did not save them, and they sat back and watched the unforgivable crimes of Erden and Tan Wuge, who were besieged by Mingrui, and were executed by Ling Chi, and the head of Erden's forehead was sacrificed in front of Mingrui's spirit. Qianlong ordered the imperial guards to infiltrate Myanmar with Mingrui's own soldiers, search for Mingrui's remains, and send them back to Beijing. When the coffin of Mingrui arrived in Beijing, Emperor Qianlong led hundreds of civil and military officials to the suburbs to greet the memorial. When Tan Wuge was personally interrogated, Tan called himself an "old minister", and Qianlong ordered the guards to slap hundreds of them, and his face was unrecognizable, and his teeth were gone, and his hatred was particularly incomprehensible. When the news Erden was on the forehead, the forehead was right, and Qianlong was furious, and a thousand knives were cut for Ming Rui's revenge. Mingrui's brother Quilin cried that he wanted to join the army for revenge in front of the palace, and Qianlong couldn't help himself in tears in the house.
In February of the 33rd year of Qianlong, Ding Hai awarded the scholar Fu Heng as the strategy, A Gui and Ali Gon as deputy generals, and transferred 1,500 Jingzhou Eight Banners, 1,500 Chengdu Eight Banners, 1,000 Jianrui Battalion, 2,000 Firearms Battalion, 2,000 Forward Guard Battalion, 5,000 Guizhou Soldiers, 3,000 Suolun Soldiers, 1,000 Jilin Horse Troops, 1,000 Shengjing Xibo Soldiers, 2,000 Fujian Navy Divisions, 1,000 Erut Mongol Soldiers, 16,000 Yunnan Soldiers, 7,000 Sichuan Soldiers, and 4,000 Guizhou Soldiers.
3. There are 1,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Beijing Division, and more than 50,000 Manchu, Han and Mongolian soldiers, all of whom are assembled on the Yunnan-Burma border. The best marshal and the best general, both in quantity and quality, are unprecedented in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and Qianlong's determination can be imagined.
During the time when the army was assembled and the horses were prepared for food and grass, the front line was not idle at all. Aligon is Mingrui's partner when he pacified the Western Regions, galloped to Yunnan quickly, eager to tear the Burmese thief apart for Mingrui's revenge, the garrison soared, and led the troops to seek revenge every day, the Burmese thief fled without a trace, but when he heard the thief's traces, he immediately went to kill, and beheaded the thief in Nankan with two hundred;Hailancha is also Mingrui's former comrade-in-arms, after arriving in Yunnan, he went out for revenge for hundreds of miles, and beheaded more than 200 Burmese thieves at one time. The Burmese king was anxious, and repeatedly sent envoys to Yunnan to beg for peace, and even hired eight major toasts in the mainland to ask for it on his behalf, but Qianlong did not allow it.
The deployment was set, and on July 20, Fu Heng's army was set out to enter Burma in a big way. The storm is rising, and the Burmese thieves are frightened, and they want to know what will happen next, and they will be decomposed next time.
