Remants of the defeated force in this confrontation launched the Nien conflict. This revolt broke out in the mountains east of Sichuan province as an anti-taxation protest, and, while ill-organized, it prospered due to the ineffectiveness of the imperial government under the corrupt official Ho-shen. It raged for three years before Emperor Chia Ch'ing overthrew Ho-shen and assumed effective power and systematically pacified the effected area through resettling and conscription. Its leaders promised personal salvation to all followers, as well as the return of both the Buddha and the Ming Dynasty. For 10 points, name this rebellion against the Manchus, which took its name from a type of flower.
