Features: During the Qianlong era, frequent wars occurred, and Hongli boasted of his "Ten Great Military Campaigns." In reality, there were far more than ten large-scale wars during the Qianlong period. From the biographies of figures such as Neri, Yue Zhongqi, Zhang Guangsi, Fu Heng, Wenfu, and Hailanzha in this volume, not only can one see their military talents but also the background, causes, scale, nature, and significance of certain wars. This volume includes biographies of more ethnic minority figures active in the northwest during this period, such as Chenggunzhabu, Dawaci, Santailing, A'mursana, and Mamut. The biographies of peasant uprising leaders like Lin Shuangwen, Su Forty-three, Tian Wu, and Shi Liudeng reflect, from one perspective, the trend of decline after the mid-Qianlong period. The biographies of the Hoja family in this volume further delve into in-depth research based on previous studies.
