Qianlong had to use troops repeatedly and sent the famous general Fukang'an to suppress the rebellion in Pingyi, Shandong, and pacified the Jinchuan and Jinchuan. He also sent troops to Taiwan to quell Lin Shuangwen's rebellion with great difficulty. Pai Zhaohui and Hailancha devoted all their efforts to suppress the rebellion in Western Xinjiang. At the same time, Qianlong, who was over sixty years old, worked hard to select his successor, heir to the throne at will, and let the emperor's fifteenth son Yan experience Shandong and help with military aircraft in order to ensure a smooth transfer of power; at the same time, he was still ambitious, punishing corruption but being honest, and striving to be civilized and well-behaved for future generations. However, due to his old age and deafness, he was deceived by the flattering ministers and sycophants. As a result, Agui, Ji Yun, Li Shiyao and other virtuous ministers were deposed, and the country's power worsened. The establishment of the Jiaqing Dynasty played the final song of the decline of the Qianlong feudal era.
