Rebellion of Cao Qin
![The 1461 Rebellion of Cao Qin, which broke out within the [[Beijing city fortifications|Inner City]] of [[Beijing]], threatened the gates of the [[Imperial City, Beijing|Imperial City]], which contained the imperial family's residence of the [[Forbidden City]] (shown here) at its center.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/Gugun_panorama-2005-1.jpg)
The rebellion was a failure: three of Cao's brothers were killed during the ensuing battle, and Cao Qin was forced to commit suicide during a last stand against imperial troops storming his Beijing residential compound. The rebellion marked the high point in political tension over allowing Mongols to be employed in the Ming military command structure. Ming Chinese officials often made recompense with Mongol subordinates for military merits while at the same time strategically relocating their troops and families away from the capital.
