Fuquan (prince)

Fuquan （ (September 8, 1653 - August 10, 1703) was a Manchu prince of the Qing Dynasty. His title was "Prince Yu of the First Rank" (裕親王). He was a son of the Shunzhi Emperor and a half-brother of the Kangxi Emperor.

Biography
Fuquan was born of the Manchu Aisin Gioro clan as the second son of the Shunzhi Emperor. His mother was Consort Ningque (寧愨妃) from the Donggo (董鄂) clan. Fuquan was conferred the title of "Prince Yu of the First Rank" (裕親王) on February 6, 1671. In August 1690, the Kangxi Emperor granted Fuquan the title of "Generalissimo Who Pacifies Distant Lands" (撫遠大將軍) and sent him to lead a campaign against Galdan Boshugtu Khan, leader of the Dzungar Khanate. Assisted by the Kangxi Emperor's eldest son Yinti, Fuquan took his army north through the Gubeikou (古北口) pass while his brother Changning led his troops through another pass, planning to converge on Galdan's position. Fuquan met and attacked Galdan at Ulan Butong (350 kilometers north of Beijing) on September 3, 1690. Galdan's troops protected themselves from Qing artillery by hiding behind rows of camels and by finding refuge in a nearby forest. Although Galdan suffered losses, the battle was a standstill, yet Fuquan reported it as a victory. He returned to the capital on December 22. The Qing commanders who let Galdan escape were punished. Fuquan himself was stripped of his military post and dismissed from the council of princes and high officials. He then retired from political life and later spent most of his time in literary circles.
