During the reign of the Qianlong emperor government forces suppressed a local rebellion in Jinchuan. The “Battle of Jianchuan” as it has become known, was consistent with state strategy which aimed at maintaining the unity of the nation, protection its territory and frustrating foreign invasion. The fighting was prolonged due to errors in decision-making, leadership, strategy and tactics. Enormous amount of money was wasted, but the rebellion was suppressed. After the fighting ended, a profound change occurred in the area. Jinchuan broke through the confinement and isolation of the past and the entire society advanced.
