Introduction to the work
In the 27th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1762), the Yili General's Mansion was established in Yili, Xinjiang. It was also given the name "Huiyuan" city, which means that its blessings will benefit distant places. As the largest city in Xinjiang, it takes charge of military and political affairs in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. It is extremely prosperous and is known as "Little Beijing". This book takes this as the background of the times and recounts how the descendants of Ili General Mingming and his remaining generals, with the support of the Qing government, united with martial arts comrades and the national military and civilian masses to eliminate the rebels, expel the Tsarist Russian invaders, and cooperated with the court to recover Huiyuan City in Ili in 1882, saving the people from fire and water, and saving lives from ashes. The book eulogizes patriotism, national unity, respect for history, and originates from history. Through the description of the heroes and heroines and many historical figures and group portraits, it reflects the Chinese nation's positive and progressive, diligent and intelligent, united and friendly spirit, and invincible!
