Agui

Agui (Chinese: 阿桂; September 7, 1717 - October 10, 1797 in Beijing) was a Chinese noble general for the Qing dynasty. He was a scion of a noble family who led Chinese military operations that put down uprisings in the western provinces of Sichuan and Gansu in northwestern China. He also led campaigns that acquired Ili and Turkestan (which today are part of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region), made Burma a tributary state, as well as the recently defeated Taiwan. He served as a minister to the emperor and a member of the Grand Council and Grand Secretariat (both administrative cabinets of the Chinese government) until his death.
