A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu-hêng
584 Fu-hêng 傅恒 (H. 春和). Died A.D. 1770. A Bannerman, who entered the Guards at an early age and was promoted to be a Grand Secretary in 1748. In that year he was sent to put an end to the campaign against Chin-ch'uan, which had been incompetently conducted. He enticed the chief rebels to his camp and executed them, and by vigorous attacks forced the rest to submit early in the following year. For his services he was ennobled as Duke, and on his return to Peking was received with extraordinary honours. In 1763 the Emperor Ch'ien Lung publicly acknowledged the valuable aid he had given in the prosecution of the Sungar war. Four years later he obtained leave to carry on the Burmese war, hitherto mismanaged; and reaching Moulmein in May 1769, he contrived to build a flotilla, crossed the Lankan river, and after some fighting laid siege to Kauntong, whereupon the Burmese consented to pay tribute. He died on his way to Peking and was buried with princely honours, Ch'ien Lung paying a personal visit of condolence to the family. He is specially mentioned in the poem by Ch'ien Lung entitled 懷舊詩 A Retrospect. Canonised as 文忠, and included in the Temple of Worthies.
