    After a night of chaos, all the members of the fourth master and his son were captured. The rebellious police chief Heda was also captured on the spot at the palace dinner. Early the next morning, Hongqing led the officials to the Temple of Heaven to worship the gods.  At the grand ceremony, the Fourth Master and his party were announced to the world, and the Fourth Master and his son were expelled from their titles. The Fourth Master was sent to Jingling to keep company with the Fourteenth Master, and together they guarded the funeral of Emperor Kangxi, while Hongli was imprisoned in  In Shengjing, the rest of the families were surrounded by the capital, and all those who rebelled were thrown into prison. Haitao, the Minister of Punishment, and Tao Yi, the censor of Zuodu, were the chief and deputy chief judges. The time limit was one month, and all the rebels were severely tried.  , At this point, the Siye Group, which had straddled the government and the public 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 Province, stating that all the White Lotus Sect who had rebelled against the flag had been wiped out, and all the bandit chiefs Du Yunshan, Li Zhuo and others were captured; on the eleventh day of the first month, Chang Shancheng  A telegram was sent from Kaifeng, saying that the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect had been put down, but that the bandit leader Lu Dingsheng was missing. The emperor did not investigate the matter in detail, and only issued an order to behead all captured White Lotus sect bandits and abandon them in the market, and reiterated that  The resurgence of the White Lotus Sect was strictly prohibited in various places. As a result, the whole country once again launched a severe crackdown on the White Lotus Sect. Many hidden remnants of the White Lotus Sect were arrested. After this vigorous rectification, the White Lotus Sect, which had been active in China for nearly a thousand years, finally became a historical term.  Since then, there has been no revival.  On the 29th of the first month of the fourth year of Renhe, Haitao, the Minister of Punishment, and Tao Yi, the censor of Zuodu, jointly signed the letter, saying that the Fourth Master's rebellion case had been concluded, and that many of the rebel party members had pleaded guilty, and a pre-written statement was attached.  As a result of the trial, seventeen people were sentenced to death by hanging, seven out of twenty were sentenced to death, hundreds were sentenced to exile, and nearly a thousand people were sentenced to various prison terms. After reading it, the emperor thought that the sentences were a little heavier.  Zhu Pi all reduced the number one to one, and the matter was concluded.  As soon as the first month passed, spring returned to the earth. With the destruction of the Fourth Master Group, the domestic situation had stabilized and factions were thriving everywhere. However, the war clouds in Western Xinjiang became dense again. After a winter's rest, the situation was once again obtained.  The Russian army assisted by Western countries 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 from Balkhash Lake to Sassekol Lake had reached 400,000.  However, the Qing army, which had not increased its troops, still numbered 210,000. The comparison of the forces between the two sides was quite disparate. The Russian army was once again ready to make a move. It sent small groups of troops several times to test the Qing army's defense line, seeming to have the intention of launching an attack first.  .  On the third day of February in the fourth year of Renhe, Yue Zhongqi sent an urgent telegram and reported the specific battle plan to the emperor. The emperor did not comment on it, but only responded by saying: "The general is outside, and your orders are not accepted. If you want to fight or defend, it is all due to  You will make your own decision." After receiving Hong Qing's call back, Yue Zhongqi immediately held a front-line military meeting and announced that the "Thunder Plan" had officially begun. It was scheduled to launch a serious frontal attack on the Russian army on the fifth day of February, with the sixth and seventh troops.  Each of the two infantry divisions of the large group army acted as the vanguard. The troops were divided into two groups and took turns to attack. The tactics were to make a breakthrough and sweep from both sides, in order to penetrate the enemy's three lines of defense in the shortest possible time and force the enemy to join us at Akdoka.  A decisive frontal battle was launched, thereby creating the best fighter plane for Li Minxing, the southern border guard force who secretly attacked from Congling, to raid the enemy's flank.  Coincidentally, after receiving a large number of reinforcements, the Russian commander-in-chief Ivan Ivanovitch, the ambitious Grand Duke, also formulated a assault plan, codenamed "Operation Thor's Hammer", scheduled to  At 5 o'clock in the morning on the fifth day of February, four infantry corps and two Cossack cavalry corps were deployed, with a total strength of 140,000, to launch point-to-point uninterrupted attacks on the Qing army's defense line, in an effort to penetrate the Qing army's defense line in one fell swoop, thus creating a basis for our main force.  The fighter plane relied on its superior force to defeat the Qing army group in one fell swoop.  The commanders-in-chief of China and Russia almost thought of it together. Not only were the attack times exactly the same, but the selection of breakthrough points also almost completely overlapped. As for the troops invested, the strong Russian army obviously more than doubled.  Of course, in terms of equipment, even after repairs, the Russian army is still a step behind the Qing army. Not to mention the gap in artillery cannot be closed in a short time. Even the gap in individual weapons is also  It still exists - a year has passed, and after figuring out the power of the Qing army's machine guns and grenades, Western countries have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in research and development, and have also created the first generation of machine guns and grenades, but  However, it is far less powerful than the standard weapons used by the Qing army. Western countries have not yet been able to develop yellow explosives and smokeless gunpowder. All weapons are still filled with black powder, which is inherently deficient.  , Therefore, from the overall situation, although the Russian army has a large number of people, it does not actually have the upper hand in terms of offensive power.  On the fifth day of February in the fourth year of Renhe, the attacking troops of the Chinese and Russian armies left the defense line almost at the same time and advanced forward. They encountered each other on the way. The two sides immediately launched a bloody battle. After a fierce battle for half a day, the Russian army was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of firepower.  The casualties were heavy, and both armies were forced to retreat towards their own lines of defense. Naturally, the Qing army refused to give up, and chased after them, causing the Russian army to scurry in panic. Taking advantage of the victory and pursuit, they took advantage of the situation and broke through the two lines of defense of the Russian army. Following the advance,The main force of the Qing army seized the opportunity to sweep through the Russian army's first two lines of defense, without giving the Russian army a chance to shrink its forces, and wiped out more than 30,000 enemies in one battle.  After nightfall, the Qing army suspended its offensive. The Russian army took the opportunity to adjust its deployment and sent heavy troops to guard the two highlands leading to Akdoka - 396 Highlands and 387 Highlands, in an attempt to contain the Qing Army's attack.  The next day, the Qing army adjusted its deployment and attacked the two highlands with all its strength. The fierce battle lasted for a long time without defeat. The soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties. The two highlands became two big millstones of flesh and blood. Thousands of soldiers from both sides fell around the two highlands.  .  On the eighth day of February in the fourth year of Renhe, after three days of adjustments, the Qing army changed its tactics. It only guarded the 396 Highlands but did not attack. It concentrated the main firepower and troops of the entire army on the front of the 387 Highlands, and concentrated heavy artillery and mortar bombardment.  The Russian army carried out targeted clearings of key fortifications. Although the Russian army also concentrated a large number of artillery units and tried to launch an artillery battle with the Qing army, it was a pity that the artillery was not powerful enough and the number was far less than half that of the Qing army. The fierce battle lasted for most of the day and more than half of them were lost.  , had to withdraw from the battlefield sadly. At this point, the advantage of battlefield firepower projection had completely passed to the hands of 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 the ground fortifications. Taking advantage of the situation, a division of the Qing army launched a strong attack under the cover of artillery fire. Although the Russian army was located  Although they were in a disadvantageous position, they refused to give up this strategic location and continued to fill the 387 Highlands with troops. Within a day, the highlands changed hands several times. Not only that, the Russian army also launched from the direction of the 396 Highlands.  After several major counterattacks, although they were repelled by the Qing army, they effectively contained the Qing army's forces. The two sides fought bloody battles for a long time. The 387 Highlands were still in the hands of the Russian army, but the Russian army suffered obvious battle losses.  It was much higher than the Qing army - the Qing army suffered more than 3,500 casualties, while the Russian army lost more than 8,000 people.  Continuous attacks on the two highlands failed, and the Qing army's offensive had to slow down slightly. Although small-scale shelling and attacks never stopped, there were no high-intensity attacks like those on February 10th. The battle lines of both sides seemed to have  As this trend stabilized, the Russian army took the opportunity to adjust its troop deployment and once again mobilized a large amount of arms from the rear, preparing to launch a counterattack in order to drive the Qing army back.  On February 16, the fourth year of Renhe, the reinforced Russian army launched a counterattack, investing 120,000 troops at once in an attempt to break through the Qing army's defense line. Unfortunately, they encountered the minefields set by the Qing army early.  After plotting against each other and being bombarded by a barrage of artillery fire from the Qing army, less than two hours after the war began, the Russian army returned with a disastrous defeat. The Qing army took advantage of the situation and launched another strong attack on the 396 and 387 highlands.  , investing four divisions at once, taking turns to attack, day and night, the Russian army, which was unable to retreat, defended desperately, relying on the absolute advantage in strength, struggling to maintain the defense line.  In the early morning of February 17, the fourth year of Renhe, when the main force of the Russian army was attracted by the fierce battle on the two highlands, the 23,000-strong border defense force led by Li Minxing, which attacked from the direction of Congling, bypassed the narrow Balkhash  Lake suddenly appeared on the left flank of the Russian army. Without even waiting for the Russian army to adjust its deployment, Li Minxing's troops launched a desperate charge, using 10,000 cavalry to attack with all their strength. The infantry swept behind and defeated the Russian army.  The army was caught off guard. At the same time, the main force of the Qing army, which was fighting head-on, also launched a strong attack again, taking the 387 Highlands in one fell swoop, opening up the road to attack Akdoka. Lieutenant General He Rong, commander of the Qing Cavalry Group, took advantage of the situation.  He led the main force of the cavalry to attack quickly, echoing with Li Minxing's troops, and completely overwhelmed the Russian army's defense system. At the end of the war, the Russian army was defeated, and Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov led the remnants of the army.  More than 80,000 people fled crazily westward, with the Qing army chasing after them and annihilating the Russian rearguard one after another.  On March 10, the fourth year of Renhe, the remnants of the Russian army managed to escape back to the Volga River Basin. So far, only less than 40,000 of the more than 400,000 Russian soldiers who had gone on the expedition had managed to return home. The rest were either killed in battle or captured by the Qing army.  A large-scale battle between China and Russia ended with a complete victory of the Qing army.  On March 14, the fourth year of Renhe, the Qing army's pursuit force left more than 10,000 troops to garrison in the Torgut Khanate. The rest of the troops began to move north to join the Third Army Group that attacked from the Central Siberian Plateau, and attacked with absolute superiority.  Ufa Fort, the Russian defender General Lev Torsky saw that the Qing army was in great difficulty and did not dare to hold on to the city. He ordered the entire army to withdraw across the Ural Mountains and burned Ufa Fort to the ground before leaving.  After reaching the ground, the Qing army did not pursue further, but stopped at Ufa Fort. They expelled tens of thousands of Russian prisoners of war, rebuilt Ufa Fort, and turned it into an important border defense center of the Qing Dynasty.  On the ninth day of April in the fourth year of Renhe, the Russian Empire, which was unable to fight anymore, was afraid that the Qing army would take advantage of the victory and invade its European part, so it had to quickly send a peace negotiation mission. Emperor Renhe ordered Yue Zhongqi to be the chief negotiator to start negotiations with the Russian side. After fierce competition  After the dispute, the two sides reached an agreement on the first day of May, at the cost of the Russian Empire ceding the entire Siberia and compensating the Qing army with 10 million taels of silver. They reached a peaceful consensus, known in history as the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Ufaburg". At this point, the war in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty began.  ??Satisfactory end
