After a night of chaos, the henchmen of the four fathers and sons were all captured, and the rebellious police chief Heda was also taken down on the spot at the palace dinner, early the next morning, Hongqing led the ministers to the Temple of Heaven to sacrifice to the heavens, and announced the rebellion of the four masters and one party to the world, and removed the titles of the four fathers and sons, of which the four masters were sent to Jingling to accompany the fourteenth masters, and guarded the spirit of the Kangxi Emperor, Hongli was kept in captivity in Shengjing, and the rest of the family was confined to the Beijing division, and all the rebels were put into prison. Within a month of time, all kinds of rebellious people were strictly tried, and so far, the Siye Group, which had been in the government and the opposition for decades, was completely destroyed.

On the ninth day of the first month of the fourth year of Renhe, Xiao Zhenshan sent a good news from Shuozhou, Shanxi, saying that all the White Lotus Sect that had rebelled was annihilated, and the thief chiefs Du Yunshan and Li Zhuo were all captured; On the 11th day of the first month, Chang Shancheng sent a telegram from Kaifeng, saying that the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect had been calmed, but the thief chief Lu Dingsheng was nowhere to be found, and the emperor did not delve into the matter, only issued an edict to behead all the captured White Lotus Sect bandits and abandon the city, and reiterated that the resurgence of the White Lotus Sect was strictly prohibited in various places.

On the 29th day of the first month of the fourth year of Renhe, Shangshu Haitao of the Criminal Department and Zuodu Yushi Tao Yi jointly signed the book, saying that the trial of the four masters' rebellion had been concluded, and many rebellious party members had pleaded guilty, and attached the pre-planned trial results, among which 17 people were sentenced to hanging, 7 out of 20 people were sentenced, hundreds of people were sentenced to exile, and nearly 1,000 people were sentenced to various prison sentences.

As soon as the first month passed, the spring returned to the earth, with the collapse of the Siye group, the domestic situation has stabilized, and there is a faction of prosperity, but the war clouds in the western Xinjiang are dense again, after a winter of rest, the Russian army, which has once again received assistance from Western countries, has not only replenished a large number of new weapons, but also supplemented nearly 100,000 new troops, at this time, the total strength of the Russian army confronting the Qing army on the line from Lake Balkhash to Lake Sussercol has reached 400,000, and the Qing army that has not increased its troops is still 210,000, and the comparison of the strength of the two sides has been quite different. The Russian army was ready to move again, and sent small units to test the Qing army's defense line several times, as if it had the intention of launching an attack first.

On the third day of the second month of the fourth year of Renhe, Yue Zhongqi sent an urgent telegram to report the specific battle plan to the emperor, but the emperor did not comment, but only called back: "The general is outside, the king's order is not subject to it, and if you want to fight, you will decide by yourself." ”

After receiving Hongqing's reply, Yue Zhongqi immediately convened a front-line military meeting to announce the official start of the "Thunder Plan", which is scheduled to launch a frontal attack on the Russian army at the fifth day of February, with two infantry divisions of each of the sixth and seventh armies as the lead, and the troops are divided into two routes, attacking in turn, making a little breakthrough, and sweeping on both sides, so as to cut through the enemy's three lines of defense in the shortest possible time, and force the enemy to start a frontal decisive battle with me in Akdouka. In this way, the best fighter for the southern frontier guard Li Minxing, who secretly attacked from the Green Ridge, was created to raid the enemy's flank.

Coincidentally, in the case of a large number of supplements, the commander of the Russian army, Grand Duke Ivan Ivanzhovich Ivanov, also formulated an assault battle plan, codenamed "Thor's Hammer Operation", which is scheduled to be put into operation at 5 a.m. on the fifth day of February, four infantry corps and two Cossack cavalry corps, with a total strength of 140,000 troops, to launch a point-to-point non-stop attack on the Qing army's defense line, in order to penetrate the Qing army's defense line in one fell swoop, so as to create a fighter for their main force to rely on superior forces to defeat the Qing army cluster in one fell swoop.

The commanders of China and Russia almost thought of going together, not only the time of the attack was completely the same, but the choice of the breakthrough was almost completely overlapped, as for the number of troops invested, the strong Russian army was obviously more than doubled, of course, in terms of equipment, even after reorganization, the Russian army was still a cut behind the boss of the Qing army, not to mention that the gap in artillery was not at all close in a short period of time, and even the gap in individual weapons still existed for a year. Since figuring out the power of the Qing army's machine guns and grenades, the Western countries have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in research and development, and have also manufactured the first generation of machine guns and grenades, but the power is far less than the standard weapons used by the Qing army.

Renhe four years of the fifth day of the second month of the fifth day, the attack force of the Chinese and Russian armies left the defense line almost at the same time, forward, encountered on the way, the two sides immediately launched a bloody battle, fierce fighting for half a day, the firepower is obviously in the inferior Russian army casualties, both roads are forced to retreat to their own defense line, the Qing army naturally refused to give up, the tail of the tail chased, killed the Russian army in embarrassment, under the pursuit of victory, the main force of the Qing army continued to break through the two lines of defense of the Russian army, followed by the main force of the Qing army to seize the fighter plane, swept the enemy of the first two lines of defense of the Russian army, did not give the Russian army a chance to shrink its forces, and annihilated more than 30,000 enemies in World War I.

After nightfall, the Qing army suspended the offensive, the Russian army took the opportunity to adjust the deployment, sent heavy troops to hold the two highlands leading to Akdouka, the 396 Heights and the 387 Heights, in order to contain the Qing army's offensive, the next day, the Qing army adjusted its deployment, and attacked the two highlands with all its might.

On the eighth day of the second month of the fourth year of Renhe, after three days of adjustment, the Qing army changed its tactics, only alerted and did not attack the 396 Heights, concentrated the main firepower and strength of the whole army on the front of the 387 Heights, and concentrated heavy artillery and mortar artillery to bombard the key fortifications of the Russian army and carry out targeted clearance, although the Russian army also concentrated a large number of artillery units, trying to start an artillery battle with the Qing army, but unfortunately the artillery power was insufficient, and the number was far less than half of the Qing army. The superiority of battlefield firepower projection had been completely transferred to the Qing army.

On the tenth day of February in the fourth year of Renhe, the Qing army bombarded the Russian fortifications for three consecutive days, destroying all kinds of ground fortifications, and the Qing army of a division took advantage of the situation under the cover of artillery fire to launch a strong attack, although the Russian army was in a disadvantaged position, but it refused to give up this strategic location, and constantly filled in the troops on the 387 heights, within one day, the high ground changed hands several times, not only that, the Russian army also launched several major counteroffensives from the direction of the 396 heights, although it was repelled by the Qing army, but it also effectively contained the strength of the Qing army, and the two sides fought a bloody battle. The 387 Heights are still in the hands of the Russian army, but the battle losses of the Russian army are obviously higher than those of the Qing army, and the Qing army has suffered more than 3,500 casualties, while the Russian army has lost more than 8,000 people.

Although the small-scale artillery bombardment and offensive never stopped, there was no such high-intensity attack as on the 10th day of February, and the front of both sides seemed to have a tendency to stabilize, and the Russian army took the opportunity to adjust the deployment of troops, and again transferred a large amount of arms from the rear, preparing to launch a counteroffensive, in order to drive the Qing army back.

On February 16 of the fourth year of Renhe, the Russian army that had been supplemented brazenly launched a counterattack, and invested 120,000 troops at one time, trying to break through the defense line of the Qing army in one fell swoop, but unfortunately encountered the plot of the mine array set up by the Qing army early, and then under the bombardment of the Qing army's artillery, the war was only less than two hours, and the Russian army was already defeated and returned, and the Qing army took advantage of the situation to launch a strong attack on the 396 and 387 heights again, and invested four divisions of troops at one time, taking turns to attack, day and night, The Russian army, which had no way to retreat, desperately defended, relying on its absolute superiority in troops, and struggled to support the defensive line without losing.

In the early morning of February 17, the fourth year of Renhe, when the main forces of the Russian army were all attracted by the fierce battle on the two heights, the 23,000 troops of the border guards of Li Minxing's department, which attacked from the direction of the Green Ridge, bypassed the narrow Balkhash Lake and suddenly appeared on the left flank of the Russian army. In one fell swoop, the 387 heights were taken, and the road to attack Akdouka was opened, and the commander of the Qing cavalry group and Lieutenant General Rong took advantage of the situation to lead the main force of the cavalry to attack rapidly, echoing with Li Minxing's department, completely breaking down the defense system of the Russian army, and at the end of the battle, the Russian army was defeated, and the Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov led the remnants of more than 80,000 people to flee to the west.

On March 10 of the fourth year of Renhe, the remnants of the Russian army escaped back to the Volga River valley, so far, less than 40,000 of the more than 400,000 Russian troops who went out were able to return to China by chance, and the rest were either killed in battle or captured by the Qing army, and a large-scale battle between China and Russia ended in the complete victory of the Qing army.

On March 14 of the fourth year of Renhe, the Qing army's pursuit force left more than 10,000 troops in the Turgot Khanate, and the rest of the troops began to go north, and the third army that attacked from the Central Siberian Plateau converged, and attacked Ufa Fort with absolute superiority, the Russian garrison General Lev Torsky saw that the Qing army was unstoppable, and did not dare to hold the city, and ordered the whole army to withdraw across the Ural Mountains, and burned Ufa Fort to the ground with a fire before leaving, the Qing army did not pursue further, but stopped at Ufa Fort and drove the Russian army to take hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, Ufa Fort was rebuilt and made into a frontier defense center of the Qing Dynasty.

On the ninth day of the fourth month of the fourth year of Renhe, the Russian Empire, which was unable to fight again, was afraid that the Qing army would take advantage of the victory to enter its European part, so it had to quickly send a peace envoy group, and the Renhe Emperor ordered Yue Zhongqi to be the chief negotiator to negotiate with the Russian side, after fierce debate, the two sides reached an agreement on the first day of the fifth month, and reached a peace consensus at the cost of the Russian Empire ceding the whole of Siberia and compensating the Qing army with 10 million taels of silver, known as the "Sino-Russian Ufabao Treaty", so far, the war in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty ended successfully......
