When Zuo Zongtang conquered Xinjiang, the anti-Qing Han militia forces that urged the local separatist rule, the heroes surrendered, and only and Dong Fuxiang of Gansu came to surrender. Zuo Zongtang was very angry, and worried that he would be domineering and difficult to control after he landed, so he ordered beheading.
The clothes were stripped off, and the braids were opened. Dong Fuxiang suddenly sang the Qin Opera "Zhan Qinglong" (ie "Locking the Oolong"), secretly comparing himself with , Sui and Tang Shan Xiongxin. The singing is loud and agitated, and when he sings the phrase "Xiongxin is a strange man", he must be flared and angry, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable spirit.
Zuo Zongtang admired his heroism, ordered to loosen the tie, and gave him wine and food and said: "I am shocked for General Shan!" Then he played and asked the emperor to be named a deputy general. Later in the war to conquer Xinjiang, Dong Fuxiang made outstanding achievements. In 1890, the admiral of Kashgar was promoted. In 1895, he led his troops to Gansu to eliminate the Hui uprising. Later transferred to Gansu admiral.
In 1897, he was assigned to defend the capital, and his department was compiled into the military rear army under the jurisdiction of ronglu . When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded and occupied Beijing, Dong Fuxiang's troops killed Bin Sugiyama, the secretary of the Japanese Embassy in China, and participated in the siege of the embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane. After the fall of Beijing, he led his army to guard , Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled west. During the peace talks between the Qing government and the eight-nation coalition , the foreign invaders demanded that Dong Fuxiang be executed, but the Qing court refused to allow him to be dismissed from his post and imprisoned his home. In 1908, he died in Jinjipu, Gansu (now in Wuzhong, Ningxia).
