西
Sichuan's frontier is broad and sparsely settled; dynasties past commonly installed native chieftains to keep it in hand. In the late Ming, when Zhang Xianzhong ravaged Sichuan, the chieftains of Shizhu, Youyang, Songpan, Jianchang, and the like held the defiles against the rebels, and their districts alone escaped destruction. Early in the Qing, once the province was brought to order, the chieftains one after another pledged allegiance. To the south lay Jinchuan, whose line traced back to Hayilamu, the Evolved Chan Master of the Ming-era Jinchuan Temple, and which had split into Greater and Lesser Jinchuan. In Shunzhi 7 (1650), Bu'erjixi of Lesser Jinchuan came over in submission and was confirmed in his former post. After Wu Sangui's revolt, in Kangxi 5 (1666) the chief Jianaba submitted once more and received the seal of Evolved Chan Master. A collateral descendant, Suoluo Ben, had led native troops under General Yue Zhongqi against the Yangdong Tibetans; in Yongzheng 1 (1723) he was recommended for the pacification commissionership and established himself in Greater Jinchuan; while the former chieftain Zewang remained in Lesser Jinchuan, Suoluo Ben marrying his daughter A'kou to him. Zewang was weak-willed and ruled by his wife. In Qianlong 11 (1746), Suoluo Ben abducted Zewang and seized his official seal. The next year he attacked the Gebuxizha and Mingzheng chieftainships as well.

The court appointed Zhang Guangsi governor-general of Sichuan. He moved up to Zewang's seat at Meinuo and brought Zewang's younger brother Liang'erji along on the expedition. Suoluo Ben held Lewuwei while his nephew Langka held Ga'erya on the east bank of the Greater Jinchuan River, with hundreds of li of domain on the west bank as well. Guangsi assembled thirty thousand men, one column marching from western Sichuan against the east bank and another from the south against the west bank. The eastern force split four ways—two against Lewuwei, two against Ga'erya—while the western force divided in two to strike the Gengte'e hills, all on a set schedule to bring the campaign to a close. Stalled by the terrain, the court sent Grand Secretary Duke Neqin to take charge of the army and recalled Yue Zhongqi from retirement. Zhongqi and Guangsi agreed that Zhongqi would advance via Dangba on Lewuwei while Guangsi moved through Xiling against Ga'erya. When Neqin arrived he gave a three-day deadline for taking Ga'erya; Regional Commander Ren Ju and Assistant Commander Mai Guoliang were killed in the fighting. Guangsi despised Neqin as a civilian amateur and resented his high-handedness; he made a show of yielding while actually obstructing him, and morale in the ranks collapsed. Liang'erji had long carried on with A'kou; Suoluo Ben encouraged the affair and used them as spies, so the rebels were forewarned of every government move. After months without victory the emperor's wrath was fierce. Neqin impeached Guangsi, who was arrested and sent to the capital; Grand Secretary Fu Heng was appointed to replace him as campaign director. That winter Guangsi was put to death and Neqin was ordered to take his own life. In the twelfth month Fu Heng reached headquarters and executed Liang'erji, Wang Qiu, and A'kou to sever the rebels' inside contacts.

In the first month of Qianlong 14 (1749) he memorialized: 'Concerning Jinchuan, only since I joined the army have I grasped how the matter began and where it stands. When Jishan first marched in, only Ma Liangzhu drove straight forward, crossed Wori, recovered Lesser Jinchuan, and pushed on to Danga with tremendous momentum. Had Zhang Guangsi hurried reinforcements forward while the rebels' defenses were still thin, wiping them out would have been straightforward; instead the chance was wasted: Song Zongzhang stalled at Zagu and Xu Yinghu lost his opening at Dijiao, allowing the rebels to seize every strong point, throw up blockhouses, and block every one of the seven or ten columns sent against them. When Neqin arrived he pressed for action; Ren Ju's defeat broke the army's spirit, and Neqin himself rose late and sought comfort, leaving everything to Zhang Guangsi. Guangsi, misled by bad counsel, relied on driving stockade against stockade and tower against tower; cannon fire battered stone walls without touching the defenders, while a handful of rebels fired from cover into the open with deadly accuracy—we were battering stone while they were killing men. They dug trenches around the towers so our men could not cross, while the rebels lay in wait below to shoot upward. Their fighting towers rose higher than any tower in China proper, ingeniously built in days and rebuilt the moment one fell. The defenders' resolve was iron; they would not quit even when a tower was smashed, and rose again the moment our cannon fire lifted. We wore ourselves out while they rested at ease—capturing a single tower was harder than taking a walled city. On Kasashan alone, where I am encamped, there are already more than three hundred towers; at half a month or ten days per tower, years would be required to reduce them all. Each tower cost us dozens or hundreds of casualties—a worse bargain even than the Tang siege of Shifeng Fortress. We must deprive the enemy of what they rely on before our troops can fight to their advantage. I propose that when the main army is assembled we detach elite columns to find hidden routes, march in with pack provisions, bypass the towers without assaulting them, and turn the troops now tied down before the towers into escorts for our supply lines. The tribesmen are few in number; with their outer defenses stretched thin, the interior must be poorly guarded. If we strike in by a fast route, the tower garrisons will fear for their homes, lose heart, and collapse without a fight. Bold assaults must rely on Manchu troops, but guides must be native levies—and among them the men of Lesser Jinchuan are the fiercest. With Liang'erji's treachery ended, Zewang's hatred of the rebels can be turned to good account if we press him into service. Wori and Wasi field strong but small contingents; Zaling, Chuosijia, and similar chieftains have numbers but little fight in them. Mingzheng and Muping are loyal enough but not fierce enough. Geshizha's warriors are keen and can take a column on their own. The scheme of having every chieftain invest separate districts cannot be counted on, but their forces can still be used to advantage. I am resolved to push deep inland without fighting for every tower, deploy on all sides, take them by surprise, strike their stronghold, seize the leaders, and report victory by the fourth month.' The emperor had repeatedly received the Empress Dowager's counsel to cease fighting and pacify the frontier, and ordered Fu Heng to withdraw. By then Fu Heng and Zhongqi were sweeping tower after tower on both fronts, and morale soared. Suoluo Ben sued for peace through Zhongqi, who rode lightly straight to the rebel stronghold; deeply moved, the rebels swore on the Buddhist scriptures to submit. The next day Zhongqi brought Suoluo Ben and his kin out by skin boat to the main camp. They kowtowed and pledged six terms: restore seized chieftain lands, hand over rebel leaders, surrender arms, return captives, and furnish labor service. An edict was then read pardoning them from death. The tribesmen burned incense, made music, and presented a golden Buddha in gratitude. In the second month victory was reported and Fu Heng, Zhongqi, and their colleagues were rewarded by edict.

Suoluo Ben's nephew Langka then assumed the chieftainship and grew increasingly unruly. In Qianlong 23 (1758) he expelled Zewang and the Gebuxizha chieftain. In Qianlong 31 (1766) the court ordered Governor-General Aletai of Sichuan to mobilize nine chieftains for a joint siege. The nine were Bawang, Danba, Wori, Wasi, Chuosijiabu, Mingzheng, Muping, Gebuxizha, and Lesser Jinchuan. Bawang and Danba were tiny domains and no match for Jinchuan. Mingzheng and Wasi, though separated by terrain, had strength enough to check Jinchuan. The chieftains whose lands bordered Jinchuan most closely were Chuosijiabu and Lesser Jinchuan. Aletai failed to drive a wedge between them and instead let Greater and Lesser Jinchuan reconcile and ally; from then on they worked hand in glove, and the smaller chieftains dared not stand up to them. Zewang was aged and infirm and took no part in affairs; Langka soon died as well, and his son Suonuomu with Senggesang encroached on E'keshi territory.

In Qianlong 36 (1771) Suonuomu treacherously killed the Gebuxizha chieftain, while Senggesang again attacked E'keshi and Mingzheng and clashed with government troops. The emperor observed that the earlier campaign had been mounted to save Lesser Jinchuan. Lesser Jinchuan had now turned rebel in its turn, a crime beyond pardon. Aletai was ordered to take his own life; Grand Secretary Wenfu was sent from Yunnan to Sichuan and Minister Guilin appointed governor-general to join the campaign against the rebels. Wenfu advanced from Wenchuan on the western route and Guilin from Dajianlu on the south. Senggesang appealed to Suonuomu, who sent troops to his aid in secret. In the spring of Qianlong 37 (1772) Guilin recovered Gebuxizha's former domain and Wenfu took Zili and Aka. Agui was appointed participating minister to replace Guilin on the southern front. In the eleventh month Agui crossed by night in skin boats, seized pass after pass, and drove straight for the rebel stronghold. In the twelfth month the army reached Meinuo and pushed on to Dimuda, capturing Zewang and demanding that Suonuomu hand over Senggesang bound; he refused.

使 殿退歿
Wenfu was named Pacification Commissioner of the Border with Agui and Fengshen'e as his deputies. Wenfu and Agui proposed a six-column advance. Wenfu would enter via Gongga, Agui via Dangga, and Fengshen'e via Chuosijiabu. In the spring of Qianlong 38 (1773) Wenfu, blocked by the rebels in the passes, swung toward Xiling and encamped at Muguomu, leaving Provincial Commander Dong Tianbi at Dimuda to hold Lesser Jinchuan. Wenfu was stubborn and rarely sought counsel; he merely repeated Guangsi's tactic of tower against tower, throwing up thousands of blockhouses. Suonuomu had wanted to absorb Lesser Jinchuan and kept Senggesang as a figurehead to rally support. In the sixth month he secretly sent Lesser Jinchuan leaders through the Meinuo gorge to stir up formerly subdued tribes into revolt. Seeing the main army bogged down, the tribes rose everywhere, overran Tianbi's camp, looted the supply depot, and fell on Muguomu by surprise, seizing the artillery park and cutting off the water supply. Rebels poured into the main camp from all sides; Wenfu was killed along with dozens of his staff, and garrisons along the line collapsed without a fight. Hailancha rushed to the rescue, covered the retreat along a back trail, and rallied the fugitives—still some ten thousand men, though more than three thousand had fallen and Lesser Jinchuan was lost again. Only Agui's column held firm; he re-formed his troops and withdrew to encamp at Wenggu'erlong.

At his summer retreat in Rehe the emperor heard the news and summoned Grand Secretary Liu Tongxun for counsel. Liu Tongxun had once argued that Jinchuan did not warrant a major campaign; now he too urged continued military action. Agui was named Pacification General of the West, with Fengshen'e and Mingliang as his deputies. In the tenth month Agui moved to the western front and Mingliang to the south. Fengshen'e pressed on from Chuosijiabu toward Yixi while Agui entered from E'keshi, fought five days and nights without rest, and stormed Meinuo; Mingliang advanced from Ma'erli with uninterrupted success and fully recovered Lesser Jinchuan.

Greater Jinchuan alone, since the first campaign of the 1740s, had resisted with all its strength, fortifying its defenses to a degree ten times that of Lesser Jinchuan. In the seventh month he ordered columns to assault the towers and stockades on dozens of fronts at once. Hailancha led six hundred picked men who scaled the cliff face on ropes, toe to heel, reached the tower at dawn, and stormed in, slaughtering the entire garrison. Rebel posts for miles around lost heart, fell one after another, and the victors pressed on to the fortress of Xunkezong. Suonuomu poisoned Senggesang and brought his corpse, along with his wives, concubines, and chiefs, to the camp to plead for his own life. Agui sent him to the capital in chains. In the fourth month of Qianlong 40 (1775) Agui sent Fukang'an and Hailancha west of the river to help Mingliang at Yixi, then split his force into six columns and cleared the rebels from twenty li of the west bank. In the fifth month Agui's eastern force took Langga stockade, only a few li from Lewuwei, and ringed the rebel stronghold with camps. In the seventh month they reached Lewuwei. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival they assaulted the rebel nest; cannon fire from all sides shattered the chief stockade. At dawn they seized the prayer hall; fleeing rebels drowned in the river. Suoluo Ben's kin and the rebel chiefs had already slipped away to Ga'erya. In the eleventh month government forces took Mount Kebuqu. In the twelfth month they seized Mount Ma'ergu, with Ga'erya directly beneath them. Suonuomu's mother, aunts, and sisters surrendered as well. Government forces converged on Ga'erya from three directions and cut off its water. Suonuomu sent his brother to plead for mercy at the camp; the plea was refused. As the siege tightened, Suonuomu followed Suoluo Ben and his family out with more than two thousand tribesmen, surrendered the seal at headquarters, and Jinchuan was pacified. In the first month of Qianlong 41 the captives were presented at the state temples, Agui and his colleagues were rewarded, and a commemorative stele was erected at the Imperial Academy honoring the pacification of both Jinchuans. Greater Jinchuan was organized as the A'ergu subprefecture and Lesser Jinchuan as the Meinuo subprefecture. In Qianlong 44 the two districts were merged into the Maogong subprefecture.

In Tongzhi 2 the Taiping commander Shi Dakai fled into Ningyuan by way of the Qiongbu chieftain's domain. The chieftain, acting on government orders, lured the rebels to Zida. Surrounded on every side, Dakai ran out of food and escape routes; he sent word offering Wang Yingyuan a bribe for safe passage and asked Chieftain Ling Chengen to intercede for a truce, but both pleas were refused. His men killed horses and boiled mulberry leaves to survive. In the fourth month Chengen and Yingyuan, seeing the rebels exhausted, led tribal levies in a final assault, captured Dakai and five of his officers, and delivered them to government troops for transport to Chengdu, where Governor-General Luo Bingzhang had them executed. Chengen and Yingyuan were recommended for second-rank honors; the two chieftains took all the rebel army's supplies as spoil.

Earlier the Drayak chieftain had grown lawless through sheer force; in Yongzhi 8 Provincial Commander Huang Tinggui subdued him by arms. In Qianlong 10 Li Zhicui led five thousand men through Dong'eluo and advanced from Litang, storming stockade after stockade and capturing the rebel leader Galong Danping. The next year Zhicui joined Imperial Commissioner Bandi, took Niri stockade, killed the chieftain Jiangcuotai in the fighting, and pacified the tribes of Yalu, Xiami, and neighboring districts. In Jiaqing 19 the Central Drayak chieftain Luobuqili raided neighboring tribes, resisted arrest, and wounded government troops. In Jiaqing 20 Governor-General Chang Ming and Provincial Commander Duolongwu marched against him; he held the passes and fought to the last. Regional Commander Luo Siju stormed his stronghold; Luobuqili died in the flames, and his domain was split between Upper and Lower Drayak.
11
By the Xianfeng period Chieftain Gongbulangjie, a ruthless and cunning man, had absorbed Upper and Lower Drayak and aimed to dominate all of Kham against both Sichuan and Tibet. Neighboring chieftains ceded land to buy peace and paid tribute at his whim. The Tibetans, enraged, appealed to Sichuan for troops; Bingzhang sent Circuit Intendant Shi Zhikang to join them in a punitive expedition. Zhikang, timid by nature, lingered at Dajianlu while the Tibetans, desperate for tea, rushed in and killed Gongbulangjie and his son; only then did Zhikang belatedly appear. The Tibetans demanded 160,000 taels in war costs; Bingzhang refused, and they occupied the region and garrisoned it with their own troops.

Early in the Guangxu reign Governor-General Ding Baozhen found that Tibetan officials in Drayak oppressed the people and provoked frequent unrest, and each year he sent troops beyond the frontier passes to restore order. His successor Liu Bingzhang was more lenient, and the Tibetan officials grew bolder still. Most chieftains were cowed into submission; only Mingzheng, with its large domain, refused to yield, and fighting broke out year after year. In Guangxu 15 civil strife in Drayak drove out the Tibetan officials, who petitioned to come under direct Chinese rule. Bingzhang refused annexation, punished only a few ringleaders, replaced the Tibetan administration, and posted an additional khenpo with eight hundred troops. In Guangxu 20 succession disputes at Zhuyao and Zhanggu drew in Drayak Tibetan officials, who crossed the border with troops and fired on Chinese soldiers. Governor-General Lu Chuanlin argued that Drayak was the gateway to Sichuan and must be brought back under direct rule. He sent Provincial Commander Zhou Wanshun and Magistrate Zhang Ji beyond the passes; within three months they defeated the Tibetan forces and took both Drayak and Derge. Formerly known as Baogai. The whole region was secured, the Dege chieftain and his wife were captured and sent to Chengdu, and plans were drawn up to replace native rule with regular officials. Chengdu General Gong Shou, furious that Chuanlin had not consulted him, joined Tibet's Resident Commissioner Wenhain a secret impeachment that reversed the decision, restored the Dege chieftain, and left Drayak under Tibetan jurisdiction.

In the spring of Guangxu 31 Resident Commissioner Feng Quan was murdered at Batang; Governor-General Xiliang recommended Provincial Commander Ma Weiqi and Circuit Intendant Zhao Erfeng for a punitive campaign. Weiqi marched out first with the main force. Earlier, placer gold had been found at Taining Monastery; Xiliang licensed merchant mining and sent troops to keep order. The lamas resisted, killing Battalion Commander Lu Mingyang, with covert aid from Drayak; Weiqi crossed the frontier and suppressed the revolt. In the sixth month Batang fell; Principal Chieftain Luo Jinbao and Deputy Chieftain Guo Zonglongbao were captured and executed, and their families were resettled in Chengdu. In the eighth month Erfeng arrived and executed the khenpo and other ringleaders in retribution for Feng Quan's murder. Weiqi withdrew while Erfeng took over pacification, suppressed the rebel Qicungou district, hunted down stragglers, and then marched against Xiangcheng. In the intercalary fourth month of the following year Xiangcheng fell, along with Daoba and Gonggaling, and the whole region was pacified. Erfeng then drew up a frontier development plan, which Xiliang forwarded to the court. The court created a special post of Director-General of Sichuan-Yunnan Frontier Affairs and gave it to Erfeng. The frontier belt between Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, Tibet, and Qinghai stretched thousands of li in every direction: native chieftains held half the land, khutukhtu domains a tenth, Qing grants to Tibet another tenth, and wild tribes the remaining three-tenths. Erfeng established civil administration at Batang and Litang and garrisoned them with five battalions of frontier troops. On returning to Sichuan for consultations, Xiliang sent Circuit Intendant Zhao Yuan beyond the passes to hold the frontier command.

In Guangxu 33 Erfeng served as acting governor-general of Sichuan and secured ministry approval for one million taels in frontier development funds. In Guangxu 34 he was named Resident Commissioner in Tibet while retaining his frontier post, raised three battalions of western troops, and marched out beyond the passes. A long succession dispute at Dege was still unsettled; Erfeng petitioned to handle it in person, marching through Taining, Daowu, Zhanggu, and a chain of districts to Gengqing. In the twelfth month he defeated rebel chiefs including Angwengjiang Bailirenqing at Zengke; the survivors fled to Zaqunka. In the fourth month of Xuantong 1 he assaulted Zaqunka. In the fifth month he fought at Maimu. In the sixth month he pursued the rebels for ten days to Kana and wiped them out in a single battle, converting the region to direct administration along with the domains of Chunke, Gaori, and the Langjiling district of Lingcong. In the tenth month Sichuan troops entered Tibet; Tibetan tribes west of Qamdo blocked their path, looted supplies, and seized officials. Erfeng led frontier troops across the Jinsha and over the snow ranges to Qamdo, cleared the way for the Sichuan column, and the Thirty-Nine Clans, Bomi, and Basu all petitioned to come under frontier administration. The Thirty-Nine Clans included Huo'er, Tumalu, Jiningtaka, Niyamucha, Songmaba, Ledake, Duomaba, Da'eryangba, and Tama, Huo'er, and Lahan—the last three sharing a single chieftain. Also Huo'er, Qiongbuga, Qiongbuse'ercha, Qiongbumakelu, Zha'ma'er, Upper and Lower Azha, Upper and Lower Duo'ershu, Upper and Lower Gangga'er, Tamar, Timar, and Zhiduo and Wala—the last two under one chieftain. Also Manong, Buchuanmusang, Shudageluke, Benpen, Celingbilu, Se'ercha, Nabugongba, Jielakezhi, Laba, Sanzha, and Pupu—each an independent tribe. They were governed through native headmen of various ranks, all under the Resident Commissioner in Tibet. Erfeng, finding them habitually loyal, reassured each clan in turn; then sent columns against tribes blocking the routes at Leiwuqi, Shuobanduo, Luolongzong, and Bianba, and detached forces to take Jiangka, Gongjue, Sang'ang, and Zayu—all of which submitted.

調使 沿 西
In Xuantong 2 frontier troops reached Jiangda, and Erfeng proposed making it the boundary between the frontier administration and Tibet. In the fifth month the frontier army withdrew to Qamdo. In the sixth month Erfeng led a reconnaissance into the Chaya region. In the eighth month, after a tour through Azu, he established a Chaya commissioner. On news of a mutiny at Dingxiang he sent Commander Fengshan in pursuit. In the ninth month the wild tribes of Sanyan sent a challenge; Erfeng marched to Gongjue. In the tenth month he sent Fu Songyu against Sanyan, which fell within ten days. In the eleventh month a Sanyan commissioner was appointed. In the twelfth month a Gongjue commissioner was appointed. Erfeng then returned to Batang. In the second month of Xuantong 3 he stormed Derong Langzang Monastery, which had defied authority for years, appointed a Derong commissioner, and brought Lengkashi to heel. In the third month Erfeng was transferred to governor-general of Sichuan; Provincial Commissioner Wang Renwen succeeded him as frontier minister. Erfeng asked that Songyu serve as acting minister until Renwen arrived. In the fourth month they marched from Batang through Kongsa and Mashu, set up a Garze commissioner, and ordered the chieftains of Lingcong, Baili, Zhuowai, Dongke, Dandong, Yukex, Mingzheng, and Yutong to surrender their seals for conversion to direct rule. Seda and the wild tribes of Shangluoke submitted. Resident Commissioner Lianyu then telegraphed for frontier troops against Bomi, and Fengshan was sent with two thousand men in response. In the sixth month Erfeng reached Drayak; the Tibetan officials fled, and he took the district and appointed a Drayak commissioner. He then passed through Daowu and Dajianlu and ordered the Yutong, Zhuosi, and other chieftains to surrender their seals for conversion to direct rule. Entering Sichuan, Erfeng collected seals from the Zali, Lengbian, and Shenbian chieftains; Songyu again crossed the passes to convert Taining, while the Yukex chieftain allied with Xialuoke in open defiance. Songyu had Shangluoke hold the defiles, crushed the rebels, and killed the Yukex chieftain; he then memorialized for the creation of Xikang Province, and the chieftains of Wori, Chongxi, Naduo, Geboizai, Badi, Bawang, Lingcong, and Shangnaduo, with the Chaya and Qamdo khutukhtu, surrendered their seals one after another. Only Maoya and Qudeng asked for more time, and permission was granted.

The Nuosu Yi of Liangshan lived among Ningyuan, Yuexi, Ebian, Leibo, and Mabian; chiefs of the lower hills were subject to native chieftains. Farther in lay Liangshan itself, hundreds of li of Yi country. Among the 'raw' Yi, those of the black-bone caste were nobles; white-bone 'cooked' Yi performed menial labor. The Yi were split into hundreds of branches under no common authority. In revolt they raided the lowlands, enslaved Han captives, and melted away when troops appeared. Since the Qing rise, Sichuan officials had campaigned against them in Yongzhi 5 and 7 and Jiaqing 13 and 16, alternately fighting and conciliating.
17

Late in Tongzhi the Yuexi Yi rebelled; Chengdu General Chong Shi, acting as governor-general, called in Guizhou Provincial Commander Zhou Dawu from the Shaanxi campaign. Vanguard Luo Yingliu advanced from Qingxi, won over the Dashubao and Wangling chieftains, encamped at Bao'an, and reduced Qiamali, Aboluo, Paomaping, and Yanmaichang before taking Puxiong Stone City, bringing four hundred li of Yi country under control. At Jingyuan the Shazi, Linjia, Buyue, Niqian, and Jiaojiao branches submitted as well; new native headmen were installed and tens of thousands of Han slaves were freed. While Erfeng developed the frontier, his brother Erxun governed Sichuan and sought to pacify all of Liangshan for the border enterprise. In Guangxu 34 he sent Regional Commander Fengshan and Circuit Intendant Ma Ruji with troops and militia against the Jidi, Majia, Lasi, and other Nuosu branches of Ningyuan. They reached Lizu Mountain Ridge, but the campaign was halted when the court went into mourning for the emperor's death.

In the first month of Xuantong 1 Regional Commander Tian Zhenbang and Prefect Chen Tingxu resumed the campaign, subduing the Baimuzi, Madalashi, and Sanhe branches of the lower hills and winning over Zajizu, Wuzhi, Bieniu, and Zuzu; Jiala, Jidi, Majia, and others then submitted in succession. Government troops encamped at Jiaojiao and brought in Baqie, Ashenbing, Aluo, Majia, and the upper and lower Sanzhi branches; wild Yi throughout the region petitioned for direct incorporation, no longer under chieftain rule. Earlier the Ahou Suga branch of Mabian had killed a British missionary and, resisting arrest, held off Assistant Regional Commander Yang Jingchang's troops. Erxun sent Regional Commander Dong Nanbin to join the Ningyuan force in a pincer attack, and Ahou Suga surrendered. On the twenty-fifth of the tenth month the two columns linked up through the heart of Liangshan and met at Honghongba. Erxun then proposed banning slavery among the black-bone Yi nobility. A county seat was established at Jiaojiao and garrisons posted at strategic points elsewhere; and a four-hundred-li route from the Meigu River to Leibo was opened and garrisoned to restore trade. The campaign brought nearly a thousand li of territory and more than one hundred thousand Yi under control. In Xuantong 2 Zhenbang and Tingxu turned to the Huili chieftain; Pisha, Huilicun, Kuzhu, Zhebao, and Tong'anzhou were all converted to direct rule, and native chieftain rule in Sichuan was largely a thing of the past. Those with longer surviving records are set down in this chapter. Those who submitted early in the dynasty but soon perished are too numerous to record.

The Pacification Commissioner of Dege descended from Danbuceling. In the 6th year of Yongzheng he submitted allegiance and received appointment as Pacification Commissioner of Dege. In the 11th year the office was elevated to Pacification Commissioner. Of all the chieftain domains, Dege was the largest, bordering Drayak to the east, Qamdo to the west, Batang to the south, and Xining to the north. Because of its vast territory, the tribesmen called it "Heavenly Dege, Earthly Dege." When Lu Chuanlin attacked Drayak, it emerged that the Dege chieftain Luozhui Pengcuo's wife Yumizhe Dengrenjia had borne him a son, Duojisen'ge, but had also taken a headman as lover and borne Jiangbairinqing, turning her against her husband. Yumizhe Dengrenjia was a Tibetan woman with kin ties to Drayak's Tibetan officials, who backed her against her husband; each party then withdrew with its son to separate domains. In Guangxu 20 the government forces lured Luozhui Pengcuo with a promise to expel his wife and Jiangbairinqing, and thus entered Dege. When Chuanlin was impeached, the conversion plan was dropped. The chieftain and his wife soon died; Chuanlin memorialized to send their two sons home, leaving Duojisen'ge to administer the domain. Jiangbairinqing had taken monastic vows, but soon rallied rivals for the chieftainship and drove Duojisen'ge to flee into Tibet. Dege's headmen and people, rejecting Jiangbairinqing as no true heir and abhorring his cruelty, welcomed Duojisen'ge back. Jiangbairinqing had withdrawn for years when headman Zhengba Adeng and others incited him to reclaim the chieftainship and seduced Duojisen'ge's concubine. Duojisen'ge and his wife fled again to Tibet and appealed to Resident Commissioners Youtai and Zhang Yintang. The Dege people soon welcomed them back and imprisoned Jiangbairinqing. Jiangbairinqing broke free, raised a rebellion, and slaughtered many people; Duojisen'ge sent messengers to Dajianlu for help. In the fourth month of Xuantong 1 Zhao Erfeng marched against him; Jiangbairinqing was defeated and fled into Tibet. Duojisen'ge and his wife petitioned for conversion to direct rule, but Erfeng, unwilling to exploit their crisis, allowed them to resume office. Duojisen'ge wept and said, "Dege is vast and sparsely peopled, with many covetous neighbors—we cannot long survive alone. I wish to bring in Han settlers to open the land, populate the domain, and only then preserve ourselves." His resolve was absolute. Erfeng memorialized to divide the domain into five districts: Dehua in the center, Baiyu in the south, Dengke in the north, Shiqu Gui in the far north, and Tongpu in the west, with the Northern Frontier Circuit based at Dengke. Duojisen'ge surrendered his property to the state, moved his household to Batang, and donated his maintenance stipend and his wife Silangcuomo's jewelry to Batang school funds. Erfeng memorialized to grant him a first-rank cap ornament and erect an honor arch for his wife. It had originally governed six native centurions: Four Upper Gela, Zazhu Mazhuka, and Longba.

It lay seven days' march from Dajianlu. It bordered Mingzheng to the east, Litang to the south, and the Dege chieftain to the northwest. Several hundred li across, it formed the upper reaches of the Yalong River. Early in Tongzhi, Sichuan and Tibet jointly attacked Drayak; Tibetan troops took it before the Sichuan column arrived and installed one civil and one monastic official with a garrison, chosen by the Dalai Lama and Kashag and confirmed by the Resident Commissioner, rotated every three years. The Tibetan officials ruled brutally and extorted without end; the people of Drayak rebelled repeatedly, only to be suppressed by frontier officials and left under Tibetan rule. In Guangxu 20 Lu Chuanlin pacified Drayak and proposed direct rule, but was impeached and dismissed by Gongshou and Wenhai. In Guangxu 34, as Zhao Erfeng traveled from Sichuan to the frontier, Dege people petitioned all along the route against Drayak's Tibetan officials for seizing land and brutalizing the populace, recounting how on two occasions when Drayak was returned to Tibet the officials had hunted down submitters and slaughtered their families. The Tibetan officials, uneasy, secretly planned to reinforce and attack Erfeng; he ordered Fu Songyu to Changtai to block them. In the spring of Xuantong 1 Erfeng proposed recovering Drayak; the Grand Council ordered Lianyu and Wen Zongyao to negotiate redemption with Tibet without success, and the court, fearing diplomatic complications, could not decide. Erfeng and Songyu then resolved to take it by stratagem. In the summer of Xuantong 3, Erfeng was transferred to Sichuan and marched through Drayak with Songyu at the head of his troops. The Tibetan officials, awed by the army's strength, fled in secret, and the people of Drayak danced out to welcome the troops. Drayak was recovered and direct administration established.

In Guangxu 31, as the Sichuan army suppressed the Batang rebellion, Litang headmen could not sustain the ulag corvée and supply lines failed; Zhao Erfeng executed headmen, the chief chieftain fled to Daoba Gonggalin, and rallied tribesmen in rebellion. Erfeng turned to attack Xiangcheng and detached a column first to suppress Daoba. The chief chieftain was defeated and fled into Tibet, and Daoba was pacified. Earlier the Xiangcheng lama Puzhong Zhawa, a fierce and capable fighter, had lured and killed Litang garrison commander Li Chaofu and his son. Lu Chuanlin sent battalion commander Shi Wenming against him; he was captured, flayed and stuffed with straw, and hung up as a trophy.

Native tribute was offset by tax assessments, with shortfalls covered by the government at about one thousand taels of silver per year. In Guangxu 30 Assistant Resident Commissioner Feng Quan, passing through Batang on his way to Tibet, saw fertile land and recruited Han settlers, establishing a reclamation colony at Cililong under Batang grain officer Wu Xizhen and commander Wu Yizhong. The tribesmen were alarmed; the chieftain and khenpo urged Feng Quan to proceed quickly into Tibet, but he refused. In the spring of Guangxu 31 tribesmen of Qicungou massacred the settlers; Wu Yizhong was killed in battle; Feng Quan took refuge in the chief chieftain's stockade and negotiated with the rebels.
