Manchu Tiger General: Nian Gengyao

Nian Gengyao's life was vigorous. He was an important minister of the Qing court in the later years of Kangxi and the early years of Yongzheng. He served as governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and held the seal of Fuyuan General. It can be said that he was a powerful figure in the border areas at that time. There are very few historical records about his teenage years, and the details are unclear. It is only known that he was very naughty in his youth. Legend has it that it was later taken over by Mr. Gu Kentang, Gu Yanwu's cousin, who carefully polished it and finally made it into a piece of raw jade. As for why this righteous man who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty accepted a disciple of the Eight Banners as his disciple, this is a mystery that no one knows, and it has attracted many attachments and legends. Nian Gengyao's ending is unexpected and inevitable. This is a tragedy. As for the authenticity of this novel, Bernard Shaw once said: "History is all false except for the names of people; novels are all true except for the names of people." This is a historical novel, so everything in the article is false, and everything in the article is true.
