Fu Heng Raiders: The Glorious History of Fu Cha Family (1)

Recently, the hit TV series The Story of Yan Xi Palace made many people know about Fu Heng, one of the most important ministers in Qianlong Dynasty. Others are interested in Fu Heng's family, the Focha family. Let's briefly introduce the family history of the Focha family.

Fuchashi is one of the eight surnames of Manchuria, belonging to Huangqi Manchuria. Many famous officials and stars, including Fu Heng, have emerged. The origin of Fu Cha was far before the Qing Dynasty. According to textual research, Nuzhen Pucha Department in Jin Dynasty was the predecessor of Fu Cha. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wang, a descendant of the Pucha family, shrewdly took refuge in the Qing emperor Nurhachi, opening a century-old strategic history of the family.

Grandfather: When the dragon enters the customs, the dragon will enter the phase.

After Wang Keanu led the troops back, he was appointed as Lu Niu Erzhen (later called "Zuo Ling"), and he was the grass-roots chief under the Eight Banners system. After the death of the king, the eldest son Wan succeeded to the throne as Niu Luzhen. At this time, Fu Cha belonged to the Manchu Zhenglan Banner.

It was the third generation of Huston who changed the fate of the Fu Cha family. During the reign of Emperor Taizong and Huang Taiji in the Qing Dynasty, Hashtun, the son of Wan, was elected as "Cabouche Xianzhuang University" (later changed to "Progressive School" in the Han Dynasty), that is, the grass-roots officer of the elite troops in the Qing Dynasty, who was also responsible for the accommodation and guarding of the emperor, and was close to the power center of the country.

Perhaps because he was appreciated in the process of approaching the emperor, Harston held the yellow flag with three flags on it (see the system of raising the flag with eight flags) and was awarded the position of bodyguard officer, and later he was promoted to the Ministry of Rites to participate in politics. It is strange that the bodyguard Wu Zhi joined the Ministry of Rites as a civilian, but it may indicate that the emperor intends to use his cronies to supervise the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. In any case, it marks that the Fu Cha family has crossed the civil and military boundaries since then.

Due to his outstanding achievements, Hashton was appointed as the Minister of the Interior (that is, the deputy commander of the Guards, second only to the Guards Minister) in Shunzhi Dynasty, and later served as the Minister of Deliberation and entered the central organization-the King's Conference. Hashim is not affiliated with the Dourgen Party. After the emperor shunzhi acceded to the throne, he was even more important, and later he was named Prince of Taibao.

Many years later, Emperor Qianlong allowed Fu Heng to build the ancestral temple of Focha family, and Fu Heng made sacrifices headed by Hashtun.

Mishan: I advised the Lord to quit the vassal, which is obvious to all.

The first official of the Fu Cha family was Mishan, the eldest son of Hashtu. After Hashtun's death, Mishan succeeded to the throne and was appointed as the head of the internal affairs department (the royal housekeeper). After Kangxi came to power, Mi was appointed as the official and assistant minister of rites, and later changed to minister of finance.

In the early Kangxi dynasty, the biggest hidden danger of the imperial court was San Francisco in the south. Emperor Kangxi wanted to quit the vassal, and ministers opposed it. Only Mishan and Nalan Mingzhu (the father of Nalan Xingde) urged to quit the vassal. With the support of Mishan and Mingzhu, Emperor Kangxi made up his mind to withdraw from San Francisco and set off a wave of rebellion in San Francisco.

Unfortunately, Mishan died soon and failed to see the end of the San Francisco Uprising. He left several talented sons, which left a deep impression on the military and political affairs of the Kangxi Dynasty.

Ma Qi's generation: Two horses ate all the grass in the world.

In the fifth generation, Fu Cha's family was mainly Mi's sons, the eldest son, the second son Ma Qi, the third son Ma Wu and the youngest son Li Rongbao.

Masika, the eldest son, was a general of the Kangxi Dynasty, and once served as the minister in charge of the guards (the eldest of the royal guards). When galdan invaded the East for the second time, the Qing army attacked three ways, and masika served in the Middle Route Army, which was personally signed by Emperor Kangxi. The Qing army confronted the paramilitary forces in the Krulun River, and Galdin abandoned the war and fled to the west. Masika urged the pursuit, and was appointed as the general of Pingbei University by Emperor Kangxi, and led the army to pursue Galdin. It was under the pursuit of masika that galdan fell into a decisive battle with the Qing army and suffered a decisive defeat. Since then, masika was named General Zhaowu and stationed in Ningxia, always guarding against the eastward invasion of Junggar Khanate. It is precisely because of this experience that masika wrote a book "A Journey to the North of Saibei", which is an important bibliography for the study of northwest geography.

The second son, Ma Su, was the most prominent minister in the fifth generation of Fu Cha family and was deeply loved by the emperor. The Kangxi dynasty was a university student in Baohe Hall, and the Yongzheng dynasty was a prime minister. The most widely known thing is that he participated in the diplomacy of clearing Russia many times. Before the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar Chu, the March delegation who participated in the demand map negotiation was blocked from returning, but it also provided valuable advice for the subsequent signing of the Treaty. Later, Ma Qi was involved in the dispute of inheritance rights in the last years of Kangxi, and was arrested with her (including her younger brothers Ma Wu and Li Rongbao). Fortunately, March was familiar with Russian affairs, and then he began to manage Russian caravan trade in Beijing again, and then returned to the center. During the Yongzheng period, March participated in the signing of the Treaty of Blenski between Russia and China, and delineated the central border between Russia and China. However, the Blenski Treaty is also suspected to be a stain on March's life. According to Russian records, March accepted the bribe of Russian special envoy Sava 1000 rubles during the negotiation, and leaked important information to Russia, which led to the signing of the Blenski Treaty and gave up 654.38+10,000 square kilometers of land in northern China.

The third son, Ma Wu, had a mediocre career in the Kangxi Dynasty. After Yong Zhengdi acceded to the throne, due to the political support of the Fu Cha family to Yong Zhengdi, Ma Wu's official career also rose, and the official to the bodyguard was in charge. Ma Qi and Ma Wu, single item and single weapon, hold the imperial court's heavy power, sometimes called "two horses eat all the grass in the world". (See "Xiao Ting Miscellanies")

The fourth son, Li Rongbao, is the most incompetent son among the four sons of Mishan. He is only in charge of Chahar (orthodox doctrine). But he is the most fertile son of Mishan. Empress Filial Piety, Fu Qing, Fu Heng, Mingrui and Fu Kang 'an, Fu Cha people who were active in the Qianlong Dynasty, were all descendants of Li Rongbao.
