After spending a few years in the capital, Nian Qianyao was transferred to the post of Viceroy of Sichuan and began to enter the ranks of feudal officials. After the Northwest Dzungars once again challenged the Qing Dynasty, under the recommendation of the old Fourteen Yin Yu, Nian Qianyao served as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. The Yong Prince Yin Chan then became the Yongzheng Emperor, and in order to gain military control of the northwest, the Yongzheng Emperor appointed Nian Qianyao as the general of Fuyuan and led more than 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion of the Mongol nobles of the Qing Dynasty. During the Yongzheng period, Nian Qianyao was deposed as a general and demoted to the rank of general of Hangzhou. As an important general during the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, Nian Qianyao cooperated with various armies to quell the rebellion in Tibet and quell Qinghai. Nian Qianyao and Klong Duo made great contributions when they supported the Yongzheng Emperor's ascension to the throne, and were deeply appreciated by Yongzheng, and the power and military strength of zeng officials and even the general Fuyuan were very strong.
When the class division was withdrawn, the army was returned to its original structure, and the seal letter was returned, and the rank of the great general also disappeared. Of course, this northwestern Suiyuan general did not have a corresponding title correspondence, so although Nian Qianyao at that time held hundreds of thousands of troops and controlled the four northwestern provinces, it was only a temporary privilege granted by the Yongzheng Emperor, and his substantive official title and title were still in accordance with the previous governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, that is, the Zhengerpin official.
Hangzhou will be ranked military attaché congyipin, he is responsible for all the Eight Banner Soldiers in the jurisdiction of Hangzhou, including training, preparation and combat, etc., it can be said that the power of the Hangzhou General is to command and train the Eight Banner Soldiers, and he does not care about anything else, nor can he take care of it. Of course, General Hangzhou also has a duty to monitor all the Green Battalion soldiers in his jurisdiction, if there is any change in the Green Camp, General Hangzhou can first take one step to control all the Green Camp soldiers, and then report to the emperor for disposal. And if the situation is urgent, you can even cut it first and then play it, and directly use military action to kill all these green battalion soldiers.
In the political arena at that time, Nian Qianyao was definitely a hot and powerful humeral minister. In the third year of Yongzheng (1725), Yongzheng decided to liquidate Nian Qianyao, but could not immediately punish him, so he first dismissed him from his post as viceroy of Sichuan and Shaanxi, forced him to hand over the seal of the fuyuan general, and demoted him to the general of Hangzhou, ostensibly as a punishment and warning, but in fact only to facilitate the surveillance and control of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang during his tenure as general of Hangzhou.
