During the Qing Dynasty, Dzungaria was a branch of the Western Mongolian ethnic group that was active in present-day Xinjiang and Mongolia. Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Dzungar tribe was never completely conquered. For this reason, in the twenty-fifth year of Qianlong, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty suddenly ordered the slaughter of 4,000 Dzungar cavalry overnight.

This order shocked the Qing court and the opposition at that time, and also attracted widespread attention and research from later historians. According to historical records, on this night, the Qing Dynasty army adopted the tactics of a sneak attack and launched a surprise attack on the Dzungar cavalry.

At the same time, the Qing army also adopted the strategy of fire attack, using fire to burn the camp of the Dzungar cavalry to ashes. On this night, the Dzungar cavalry had no power to fight back and was wiped out by the Qing Dynasty army. This event is known in history as the "Night of Galdan" and is a bloody memory in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
