Sengge Rinchen

Sengge Rinchen commanded Qing forces defending the Dagu Forts against a British and French naval attack. His forces repelled the assault, sinking several enemy ships and inflicting heavy casualties, a rare Qing victory in the Second Opium War.

Sengge Rinchen commanded Qing cavalry at the Battle of Palikao against Anglo-French forces. His forces were decisively defeated by superior firepower, leading to the fall of Beijing and the burning of the Old Summer Palace.

Sengge Rinchen led Qing forces against the Nian rebels in northern China. He achieved several victories but was ultimately killed in battle against the Nian in 1865, marking a turning point in the rebellion.
