China: Qing (Manchu) General Agui (1717-1797).

Agui (September 7, 1717 - October 10, 1797) was a Manchu noble general for the Qing dynasty. He was a scion of a noble family who led a number of important Manchu military operations, including several of the 'Ten Great Campaigns'. In 1781, Agui went to Lanzhou, in the northwestern Gansu province, to lead the suppression of the rebellion by the Salar adherents of the Jahriyya Sufi order. Agui also led campaigns that acquired Ili and Eastern Turkestan (which today are part of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region) and Taiwan. He served under Fuheng in the 1769 failed campaign of the Sino-Burmese War (1765–1769). He served as a minister to the emperor and a member of the Grand Council and Grand Secretariat (both administrative cabinets of the Chinese government) until his death.
