Fu Ch'ing
Encyclopedia
Fu-ch’ing was a Manchu
who began his career in the Imperial Guard, and in AD 1744 was sent as Resident to Tibet
where he remained until the danger of a Tibetan-Sungar alliance seemed over. The last king of Tibet would not submit to the tutelage of China, and having poisoned his elder brother, proceeded to prepare for revolt. Fu-Ch’ing returned with all speed and slew the king in the Chinese Residency, whither he had lured him, the result being a popular rising in which he and his staff perished. The present government system of four Kablon under the Dalai and Panshen Lamas was then established. The Resident’s guard was raised to 1500 men, and all intercourse with Tangut and Sungaria was forbidden. The Emperor Ch’ien Lung published a special Decree defending the treachery of Fu-ch’ing, and ennobled his heir as Viscount. Canonised and included in the Temple of Worthies.
