At the end of September, Qianlong returned to the capital from the summer resort. When the group arrived in Beijing, Fukangan happened to be in Beijing, and the two monarchs and ministers saw each other very happily.

"Ann, what are you doing?!"

"!"

"Then do it!"

"It has to be!"

Lord Qianlong nodded approvingly, and then ordered the whole country to prepare silver rice, equipment, and guns, and tried his best to support Fukangan.

By mid-November, the imperial court had transferred more than 17,000 troops from various places and raised more than 4 million taels of military salaries.

The people are strong and the horses are strong, and the materials are complete. Fukangan, Hailancha, and He Lin marched day and night, and arrived in Xining, Qinghai at the beginning of the 12th. There, they recruited more than 7,000 Sauron soldiers who were brave and good at shooting and Jinchuan soldiers who were suitable for mountain warfare. After everything was ready, Fukangan stepped on his war horse, and with an order, the army left Xining, Qinghai, and marched into Tibet for forty days according to the instructions.

As soon as he entered Tibet, he met the Gurkhas.

Fukangan rode his horse and whipped up, rushed into the enemy formation, and fought the first battle against the Gurkha invaders in the Momu area, destroying thousands of enemies. Subsequently, he fought again and killed nearly a thousand enemies. Within half a month, the Gurkha army rolled out of Tibet, and the war turned into Gurkha territory.

The good news came, and the whole country celebrated.

However, Fukangan doesn't think so: there is no turning back when the bow is opened. If you don't hit your face full of peach blossoms this time, you don't know why the flowers are so red.

At that moment, he took advantage of the victory and pursued, captured the Solera River overnight, crossed the chain bridge, penetrated more than 700 miles into the enemy's territory, won six battles and won six victories, killed more than 4,000 enemies, and smashed Yangbu (now Kathmandu), the capital of Gurkha.

The king of Gurkha broke out in a cold sweat: rub, is this still a human being?!

And the adults laughed: without my brother, he is a fart!

In fact, the reason why Fukangan's dispatch of troops this time was so smooth was that He Lin played a vital role in it. In this war, He Lin not only delivered him enough grain and grass, but also took the lead in front of the battle, bravely killing the enemy, and his limelight was not inferior to Fukangan, who was like the god of war. Moreover, He Lin's outstanding performance also won the favor of Fukangan, and the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit. Soon, the two fell in love and rained.

Helin is good, but not with adults. During the Spring Festival this year, he was depressed. He Lin is fighting on the front line, and there are many dangers, and he, who is an older brother, can't let go of the slightest snack. For this reason, he deliberately took all the children of the He Lin family to the He Mansion and took care of them.

"So worried, what are you sending him to go on the expedition?! What's more, it was sent to Fukangan's subordinates. In the early years, He Lin also impeached Fukangan, but now I'm afraid he still holds a grudge! Ji Wen saw her husband's worries and was quite puzzled by this approach with adults.

"He Lin is a military general, with an upright temper and both civil and military. This is recognized even by the emperor and Ah Gui. As long as he can cooperate well with Fukangan on the battlefield, Fukangan will definitely accept him. ”

"Is Fukangan really that kind?"

"You don't think so badly of everyone, Fukangan also has his cute side." He smiled with adults: he had a good brother, the second most corrupt official in Manchuria - Fu Chang'an.

"Really?!"

"Now Tibet's good news is frequent, and Fukangan has mentioned He Lin many times in the compromise, and he is very appreciative of leading the generals, which shows that He Lin does have real talent and learning, and he is a rare general!"

"Your brothers are one civility and one martial arts, one good and one evil, which is incompatible, but it is really rare to have such feelings."

"What?! I think I'm a bad guy in your opinion?! "I laughed with adults: I brought it up with my own hands, it's strange if I don't treat me well!

"You don't look at it yourself, just this year, the threshold of our house is about to be broken, which one is not coming with a heavy gift? Isn't it evil that you accept bribes like this? If my grandfather had been here, he would have been furious. ”

"I didn't take it out of thin air. They have eaten my benefits, and I have something to give, which is normal! "I look at it very openly with adults," said Su Ling'a, a small foreign official, who is now promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department. If it weren't for me, how could he be where he is today? ”

"Good, good! I don't argue with you about this, these are your men's business, and you won't listen to me. Ji Wen turned her head and left. Looking at his wife's back, he smiled with the adults. They have been married for many years, and Ji Wen always looks stubborn and cute, which makes him love it very much.

Now he has everything, a gorgeous mansion, a happy family, the status of the world's number one favorite minister, and the money he can't spend no matter how he spends it. But even he didn't understand why he had such a strong thirst for money, no matter how much he had, he would always need more.

He had been thinking about this question for many years, but he had never found an answer.......

In fact, he just hasn't understood one thing yet: a person's greatness does not mean how much you have contributed to society and how much you have achieved, but that you know how to give up when you face temptation.

At the beginning of July of the 57th year of Qianlong, Fukangan began to lead an army to attack Galgula and Jimuji, preparing to break through the last two barriers of the Gurkha in one fell swoop and completely eradicate this alien race that had harassed Tibet for many years from the face of the earth. However, he was met with resistance – the most stubborn since entering the territory of the Gurkhas.

The two sides are locked in a tug-of-war.

At this time, Fukangan made a mistake.

The previous six battles and six victories made him proud, and this time he led some soldiers to chase the enemy for more than 20 miles in the rain. There, he was ambushed.

The commander of the escort army, the imperial guard Tai Fei Ying'a, the second-class guard Yingyun and others were killed. In the midst of the crisis, Hailancha led his troops out to meet across the river, and the imperial guard Eledeng fought hard to protect the bridge. The two sides fought fiercely for two days and one night before the enemy began to retreat.

Looking at the soldiers with low morale and the results of repeated defeats, the uncle of the Gurkha king, Badul Saye, finally began to be afraid: if he continued to fight, he would lose the country....... so he chose the old path of Ba Chung: negotiate peace first, and then talk about survival.

After receiving the letter of begging, Fukangan sent someone to send it to the capital quickly.

The Forbidden City in July is sunny and fragrant with flowers. Lord Qianlong was pacing in the imperial garden, very peaceful.

"It's time to go to the Old Summer Palace to have a look, the flowers in the garden must be blooming at this time, and they are beautiful and refreshing!" Qianlong Ye said casually as he walked.

"If the emperor wants to go to the garden, Ming'er will prepare it." Wang Lian was busy responding.

While the two were talking, a little eunuch hurriedly ran over.

"Your Majesty, you are here, and you are waiting outside!"

"Call him in."

After a while, he took three steps and two steps with the adults, and trotted all the way to Qianlong Ye.

"In such a hurry, what's the matter?!"

"Your Majesty, the excerpt that Fukangan just sent. The Gurkha begged for tribute, this is a begging book! "And the lord handed it over along with Fukangan's excerpt.

Qianlong Ye took the fold and read it hastily, with a smile on his face.

"Heshen, what do you think should be done about this matter?!"

"The slave thinks that it is better to accept begging as the best policy. Lord Fukangan suffered heavy losses in the battle of Gargula, and he broke several generals, and it was by no means the best time to conquer Yangbu and destroy the enemy country. Does the emperor still remember what happened to Mingrui at the beginning? It was because of the deep and deep penetration of the lone army that Mingrui led to the exhaustion of food and the defeat of the wilderness. If you fight again, the minions are afraid that they will repeat the mistakes of the past! "He's not worried about Fukangan, he's worried about his younger brother - Helin.

"I don't know much about Fukangan, my ability is really not small, but I am arrogant, I am afraid that he is unwilling to withdraw troops!" Qianlong Ye said with a smile, "When it comes to all kinds of military affairs, Fukangan can be said to be foolproof, but in terms of mind, he is far worse than his father Fu Heng." ”

"As long as the emperor decrees and orders Fukangan to accept the begging surrender, how can he not obey? What's more, the Gurkha is about to be covered with heavy snow in August, and the climate is harsh, so I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to our army. As the commander, he must know this better than us. ”

"You and I want to go together! Among the civil and military affairs of this Manchu Dynasty, you are the only one who can understand my thoughts. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

Qianlong's edict soon reached Tibet. Lord Qianlong instructed Fukangan and ordered him to take advantage of the enemy's fear and pleading, beg for permission, and pay tribute. Although Fu Ankang regretted it, he also knew the weight of time and had to return to the court.

On August 28, 1792, the 57th year of Qianlong, Fukangan accepted the surrender of the Gurkha king. On the fourth day of September, the Qing army withdrew from Gorkha and retreated to Tibet.

Soon after, Fukangan returned to Lhasa and was personally greeted by the 8th Dalai. Fukangan, He Lin and others are still stationed in Tibet, punishing the culprits, awarding awards and silver, and comforting the wounded. Qianlong also offered a tribute to the soldiers who went on the expedition. Although Lord He did not lead troops, he recommended meritorious service, and he was also a great meritorious hero, and he picked up a third-level bargain.

Since then, Lord He has firmly held the power of the Shangshu of the Domain, coupled with the rise of He Lin, the Qing Dynasty finally ushered in an era that belongs to Niu Colu.

and Shen Dynasty.

Peak, from now on!
