撫遠大將軍馬爾賽出北路討噶爾丹，命欽拜將右衛兵以從，參贊軍務，授內大臣，駐紮克拜達里克。 When Maersai went north against Galdan, Qinbai led Right Guard forces on his staff as inner minister, stationed at Zakobaidarik.

上諭曰：「馬爾賽治事甚不愜朕意，扎克拜達里克軍中恃欽拜一人，當仍留北路。」 The Emperor said: "Maersai displeases Me; Zakobaidarik depends on Qinbai — keep him in the north."

準噶爾將小策零敦多卜等自推河走，欽拜等力請追擊，馬爾賽聽敵過，師乃出。 Little Tsering Dondob fled down the Tui; Qinbai begged to chase, but Maersai waited until they were gone before moving.

既至博木喀喇，令欽拜將七百人進，不及敵而還。 At Bomukala, Maersai sent Qinbai with 700 men; they found no foe and came back.

欽拜等疏聞，上誅馬爾賽。 Qinbai reported it, and Maersai was put to death.
