He Zhongtang often said to Ji Xiaolan, only Liu Yong and Agui dare to ignore me. Who is Agui?

This person is Zhangjia Agui. Agui was born in Zhenglan Banner and was already wealthy. After winning the imperial examination, he guarded Xinjiang for a long time. His life was very brilliant. He not only pacified Xinjiang and Jinchuan, but also put forward many good opinions on the use of troops and strategic deployment. He was the most talented general during the Qianlong period. Agui died of old age and frailty during the Jiaqing period, and was posthumously named Taibao, with the posthumous title Wencheng.

It can be said that Agui and Heshen fell in love and killed each other. Because He Shen had already angered A Gui once before he became He Zhongtang. At that time, He Shen and A Gui led troops to fight together. As a result, He Shen not only commanded blindly, but also lied, which made A Gui very angry. After Agui read He Zhongtang's book that time, He Zhongtang stayed far away from Agui.

Agui was of high birth and had a passion to serve the motherland, so he made an indelible contribution to the Qing Dynasty. For example, Agui went to Yili to open up wasteland and farm with the soldiers. Needless to say how important Yili is geographically, the emperor naturally wanted to protect it. This is the northwest gate to the Qing Dynasty.

So the emperor wanted to send some people to garrison there. But here comes the problem. Transportation there is inconvenient and food is not enough. No one wants to go there. At this time, the clever Agui stood up and told His Majesty the Emperor that when there is no war, the people we brought over can farm their own land. First cultivate the land and then grow some food, so you don't have to worry about feeding the soldiers in the future. The emperor felt very good after hearing this. Since Agui came up with the idea, let Agui lead the people there.

After Agui arrived in Yili, he was very diligent. Not only did he work with his own hands, farming the land with the soldiers, but he also built roads. If you want to be rich, build roads first. Agui brings a happy life to the people here. Everyone is grateful to him. The soil and water in Yili are very good, so the grain harvest they grow is very good. After the problem of the Ili garrison was solved, the emperor relied more on Agui, so Agui ignored Heshen and no one took care of him. Because Agui is more important than Heshen.
