Zuo Zongtang's efforts in the Dungar Rebellion…

July 1884 CE

Zuo Zongtang's efforts in the Dungar Rebellion have helped revive the declining Qing dynasty and reestablished the Chinese position in Central Asia.

Now a sick old man of seventy-three, blind in one eye, Zuo is still not allowed to retire.

In 1884, he is sent to South China and placed in charge of defenses in the war with France.

He dies soon after the peace settlement.
