Yue Zhongqi
Yue Zhongqi was a Chinese military commander of the Qing dynasty. He was a descendant of Yue Fei, and served as Ministry of War and Viceroy of Chuan-Shaan during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor.
Yue succeeded Nian Gengyao as Viceroy of Chuan-Shaan from 1725 to 1732. Zeng Jing, a xiucai in Hunan, sent his student Zhang Xi to Xi'an in 1728, attempted to incite Yue to organize a plot to overthrow the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. Yue refused him and exposed his plot. Yue was commended by Yongzheng Emperor; Zeng Jing was easily caught and transported to Beijing.
Yue also participated in Dzungar–Qing Wars. He conquered Tibet and seized Lhasa with the 2,000 Green Standard soldiers and 1,000 Manchu soldiers of the "Sichuan route" in 1720. He was accused of "arrogancy and unlawful act" by Jalangga and was stripped of official position in 1733. He didn't return to politics until 1748. He participated in Jinchuan campaigns, and later put down the rebellion of Gyurme Namgyal together with Ts'ereng.
