Fuheng

Fuheng (Chinese: 傅恒; pinyin: Fùhéng; Manchu: ᡶᡠᡥᡝᠩ, Möllendorff: fuheng, Abkai: fuheng; Burmese: ဖူဟင်း; 1720 – July 1770), courtesy name Chunhe (春和), was a Qing dynasty official from the Manchu Fuca clan and the Bordered Yellow Banner of the Eight Banners,[1] and was a younger brother of the Empress Xiaoxianchun.

He served as a senior minister at the court of his brother-in-law, the Qianlong Emperor from the 1750s to his death in 1770.

He is best known for leading the Qing troops in the fourth and last invasion of Burma in the Sino-Burmese War (1765–1769).

Fuheng was one of the few senior officials that fully backed the Qianlong Emperor's decision to eliminate the Dzungars in the 1750s when most at the court thought war was too risky.

He died of malaria, which he contracted during his three-month invasion of Burma, when he got back to Beijing.
