Guangxi formed the empire's southwestern frontier. The Qin organized it as Guilin Commandery. The Han called the area Shian. The Tang placed it under the Guiguan circuit. The Song renamed it Jingjiang Prefecture. The Yuan administered it as Jingjiang Circuit. The Ming created Guangxi as a province. Yao and Zhuang peoples outnumbered Han settlers ten to one, spread through endless mountain ranges and holding the strategic heights where three rivers met. The Ming, continuing Yuan practice, appointed numerous native chieftains to help keep the region under control. Loyalty and revolt shifted unpredictably. Han Yong's suppression of Teng Gorge, Wang Shouren's pacification of Tianzhou, the campaigns of Shen Xiyi and Yu Dayou, and the successes of Yin Zhengmao and Weng Wanda barely sufficed to bring the territory back under survey and control. Under the Qing, troublemakers stirred throughout Guangxi, yet the native chieftain domains alone stayed quiet. When Ortai took charge of the three southwestern provinces, he stripped Cen Yingchen of the Sicheng native prefecture and transferred the territory north of the river to Guizhou. In the eighth month of Yongzheng 6, he opened operations against Bada Stockade in Siling Prefecture, cutting its supply lines and stationing troops two or three li away. Judging the range of his heavy guns, he shelled the position step by step until his forces closed in. Cornered, the rebels executed the native officers Yan Guangse and his brothers and sent their heads as a plea for mercy, but still refused to open the stockade. Government forces then stormed and destroyed it. In Yongzheng 8 he ordered a second campaign against Dengheng Stockade, a dependency of Siming native prefecture. Three columns attacked at once and carried the place in one rush. Native officers throughout the region then hurried to turn in more than twenty thousand weapons. On his frontier tours, local leaders escorted him for hundreds of miles, and the border defenses of all three provinces were secured. In Qin times the area belonged to Xiang Commandery. The Han placed it on the boundary between Jiaozhi and Rinan commanderies. The Tang set up Yue Prefecture, which at the start of the Tianbao era was renamed Longshui Commandery; and in the Qianyuan period it became Yizhou again. The Song elevated it to the Qingyuan military commission, and at the opening of the Xianchun era renamed it Qingyuan Prefecture. The Yuan administered it as Qingyuan Circuit. The Ming restored the name Qingyuan Prefecture. The Qing kept the arrangement.
