Hello everyone, I am taking history as a mirror.
In Jin Yong 's martial arts novels, the decent characters are generally all kinds of knights wandering the world, while the villains are either magic sect or the government.
For example, in " Flying Fox Story ", the biggest villain is Emperor Qianlong's most trusted minister/illegitimate son Fukangan;
Fukangan in the novel seems to be synonymous with human idols on the surface: not only was he born Noble and high-ranking; he is also capable of writing and martial arts, and he is arrogant; he is simply the leader of the idol group, the idol of idols.
It is these that make countless beauties feel spring in their hearts, and the daughter of Ma Xingkong , Ma Chunhua , the chief dart of Pegasus Escort, "Yusheng Shenquan" is one of them.
However, although Fukangan in the novel is golden on the outside, he is a ruthless and insidious scumbag on the inside. In the end, he gave up on Ma Chunhua. This episode also made many book friends sigh.
But what is the history of Fu Kangan, the big scumbag in the novel? Is he really Qianlong's illegitimate son?
1. Fukang'an's real name is Fucha Fu Kang'an, his father is a scholar of Jinglue, a first-class loyal and brave man Fucha Fuheng ; his aunt is Emperor Qianlong's first empress Filial Piety Empress Xianchun ;
Because Qianlong saw that Fu Kangan was very similar to his two children who died young, he renamed Fu Kangan to Fu Kangan and asked him to go to the palace to study with the princes.
When Fukangan was 13 years old, he had already inherited Yunqiwei , was awarded the third-class bodyguard by Qianlong, and was ordered to walk in Qianqingmen .
When he was 16 years old, Emperor Qianlong directly blessed Kang'an, the right servant of the Ministry of Household, and the Mongolian deputy capital of Xianglan Banner.
When he was 17 years old, Fukang An served as the Minister of Military Aircraft as the Minister of Household Affairs, and soon changed to the deputy capital of Manchuria with yellow flags.
Take a look at the speed of promotion. In just a few years, many people have completed the road that many people can't walk in their entire lives. This is just the beginning for Fukangan.
2. Achievements in battles
In the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong's reign (1771), Sichuan's large and small Jinchuan launched a rebellion again. Qianlong was furious and dispatched troops to prepare to counter the rebellion. As the favorite minister of Emperor Qianlong, Fukangan was sent to the army to give seals.
But Fukang'an's luck at the beginning was not very good. In the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong, when he just arrived at the camp of Lieutenant General Agui, he was just catching up with Agui to attack Danggarla Mountain, which is already the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. At the intersection, the terrain is very dangerous.
The large and small Jinchuan rebels took advantage of the favorable terrain and the unfamiliar environment of the Qing army recruits to directly attack the Qing army's Muguomu camp. Dingbian general Wen Fu was beheaded, and the Qing army suffered heavy losses.

Qianlong then directly ordered Agui to take over as General Dingxi and re-ready to counterattack, and the 18-year-old Fukangan was also left in the camp.
At this time, the fighting power of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still very strong, and Fukangan, as Qianlong's henchman, would also go into battle to kill the enemy. But for Fu Kangan, this seemed to open a door for him, and his military talents began to burst out rapidly.
According to the records of " Qing History Draft ", Fukang'an has made great achievements in Jinchuan and Jinchuan. Not only did he lead the troops well, but he also dared to personally lead 800 people to attack at night in the rain. And annihilate hundreds of thieves ." After a battle report like
was sent to Qianlong, even Qianlong wrote an edict to commend Fu Kang'an's bravery.
After Fukangan was commended, he fought more and more fiercely, attacking the city all the way, and after Jinchuan was pacified, Fukangan was given the number " Jiayong Baturu" by Qianlong", he was named a third-class Jiayong male.
3. Feng Jiang's official
This is not the end, Qianlong gave Fukangan continuous promotion and salary increase:
In the 42nd year of Qianlong (1777), Fukangan was Granted the post of general of Jilin; transferred to General Shengjing in the forty-three years of Qianlong (1778); forty-five years of Qianlong (1780), Fukangan was awarded the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and became a prince in control of one side. Fukangan is only 26 years old. Readers and friends in front of the screen, think about what we were doing when we were 26 years old?
Since then, Fukangan's position has been adjusted several times, and he has served as the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, Fujian and Zhejiang, and Guangdong and Guangxi...
Every time he adjusts his position, there is a war behind it.
For example, Fukangan served as the governor of Sichuan to pacify the "pharynx bandits"; the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu was to pacify the "rebellion"; the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang was to cross the sea To pacify the uprising of Lin Shuangwen of the Taiwan Tiandi Association; to be the governor of Liangguang to crusade against Annan...
It can be said that Fukangan is a knife in Qianlong's hands. If it is not peaceful, just wave Fukangan's sharp knife.
Qianlong The emperor is a self-proclaimed old man of Shiquan. He fought ten great victories in his life, called Shiquan Wugong, but two of them pacified Jinchuan, Taiwan, Lin Shuangwen, Annan, and Gurkha. Fukangan all participated.
and Fukangan is really a lucky general. When he was pacifying Jinchuan, Lin Shuangwen, and Annan, the Qing army suffered defeats in the early stage. Whenever he came out, he could always win and When the prestige of the Qing Dynasty came, Emperor Qianlong favored him even more. Especially in the battle of Gurkha, Fukangan set out from Beijing on September 29 and arrived in Xining, Qinghai from Shanxi and Gansu all the way. It was winter at this time. The mountain was covered by heavy snow, but Fukangan did not stop, but stopped for a while, starting from Xining on December 1 and arriving in Lhasa on the 20th of the first lunar month of next year!
From Xining to Lhasa, the whole journey is 4,600 miles, with a 60-minute walk on the way. Today, Fukangan actually crossed the roof of the world to reach Lhasa in the winter, which is unprecedented. Under the leadership of Fukangan, the Qing army directly defeated the Gurkha army, which was said to be undefeated, and directly attacked the The border of the other party is only more than 100 miles away from the capital city of Yangbu (now Kathmandu, Nepal). After the war, Qianlong also created the system " The Golden Vase Signature System ", which completely incorporated the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into the rule of the central dynasty.
4. Died untimely
After winning the battle of Gurkha, Fukang'an has reached the peak of official and ministerial status.
Qianlong awarded him the title of Wuyingdian Grand Scholar, if he failed to win Kathmandu , otherwise he would be directly crowned king.
In the 60th year of Qianlong's reign, after Fukangan suppressed the Miao people's uprisings in Guizhou and Xiangxi, Qianlong directly named him Beizi; this was the first clan in the entire Qing Dynasty, and he was killed when he was alive. Named such a noble person.
It's a pity that Fukangan died in Xiangxi the next year at the age of 42.
Qianlong, who was already the emperor at that time, was very sad. After Fukang'an's coffin returned to Beijing, Qianlong also came to pay homage in person. After that, Fukang'an was posthumously named King of Jiayong County , enjoying and enjoying the Taimiao , the super power of building a special temple honor.
5. Controversy of extravagance
It can be said that after reading Fukang'an's life, it can be said that throughout the Qianlong Dynasty, he was even more favored than Emperor Jiaqing, Qianlong's own son.
And when Fukangan was alive, he relied on his favor and power to the sky.
thanIf Fukang'an is a military general, it stands to reason that he must ride a horse when he goes out, but he must take a big sedan chair when he goes out.
Fukang'an's sedan chairs are so big that they need 36 sedan chairmen, and even Fukangan has to sit in sedan chairs when he goes on an expedition. He equips each sedan chair with four good horses. When
passed through Zhejiang triumphantly on his platform, there was a literati record: " descended from the Yanling tomb from the Ark of Sanya, the Jiangzhou set up a tower, Chen Baixi, the mid-stream advocated competing works, touched the title of the official boat, and descended quickly on both sides of the strait. "It shows its extravagance.
And as soon as Fukang'an's army arrived, they ordered the local officials to provide all kinds of wine, food and mansions.
6. Post-death liquidation
After Fukangan died, his son Fucha Delin, when he went to the army to welcome Fukangan's coffin back, asked for more than 40,000 taels of silver from the place he passed through.
The Emperor Jiaqing originally hated favorite ministers like , Shen , and Fukang'an, but he didn't say anything, so he could only write it down in a small notebook.
After he finally took charge of the government, he immediately gave He Shen to death, and then ordered Delin to spit out 80,000 taels of silver to himself, and then made an excuse to withdraw Delin's hereditary Baylor. Just give up.
So how do we evaluate this man who has made legendary achievements and left a lot of infamy?
Cai Dongfan said directly in "Romance of Qing History":
Fukang'an's credit is actually mostly from his famous general Hailancha , Fukang'an is a favorite without the style of a famous general, it is no wonder that Qianlong favored him so much Later generations will suspect that Fukangan is the illegitimate son of Qianlong.
But there are also scholars who have different opinions:
Dai Yi, honorary director of the Institute of Qing History at Renmin University of China, said that although Fukang'an won the battle because the Qing Dynasty was at its strongest national strength, but:
Fukang'an Lifetime Organization He participated in the battle of crossing the sea in the wind and waves, participated in the battle of the mountains and jungles, commanded and personally crossed the Himalayas, and carried out the most arduous mountain battle ever. His outstanding military talent and the spirit of not being afraid of hardships and dangers, and having the courage to serve, are truly an important and commendable commander in China's military history, and he is also a leader among generals in the 18th century.
So no matter what, Fukang'an has indeed created legendary feats, but at the same time he also bears the infamy of being arrogant and extravagant, and that's exactly what he is.
No wonder Jin Yong regards him as the villain of "Flying Fox Story"!
