Taxes rose for Hmong farmers and other groups living in the province. Hmong people quickly lost what they owned. From time to time there were small Hmong rebellions but they fail. In 1727, there were campaigns to destroy any more uprisings. General Zhang Kwang Si and his army made way to Bazhai, a Hmong town in the middle of the Kweichow province. After seizing control of Bazhai, they continued to their campaign to Bazhai’s capitol, Guiyang. A year after, they were at Lip’ing, a battle ensued and both suffered casualties. General Zhang Kwang Si was successful in capturing Lip’ing. This battle did not end the rebellions. The Machu Emperor Shih Tsung replaced Prince Ortai with General Zhang Kwang Si. The general led another campaign and defeated remaining Hmong rebel groups. Around 1776, Hmong leaders Shih San-Pao and Shih Liuteng led Hmong guerrilla forces to try and regain control of Kweichow.
