Fuk'anggan's father, Fuheng, brother of the Empress Xiaoxianchun, served as a grand minister of state during the middle years of the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. Fuk'anggan held various offices throughout Qianlong's reign, including Governor-General, Viceroy of Liangjiang and Viceroy of Liangguang.
The Salar Jahriyya Sufi revolt in Gansu was put down by Fuk'anggan along with Agui and Li Shiyao in 1784,[3][4] while Heshen was recalled for his failure during the revolt.[5]
In 1787, 300,000 people took part in the Lin Shuangwen rebellioninTaiwan against the Qing government. Fuk'anggan commanded 20,000 troops and suppressed the rebellion.[6] In 1790, the Nepalese Gurkha army invaded Tibet and the 8th Dalai Lama, Jamphel Gyatso, escaped from Lhasa and appealed to the Qing government for help. The Qianlong Emperor appointed Fuk'anggan as commander-in-chief of the Tibetan campaign and Fuk'anggan attacked until they reach Nuwakot and being keen to protect their troops went for negotiation in the Sino-Nepalese War.[7]
