In 1696, the Kangxi Emperor ordered Yinqi to lead the Plain Yellow Banners troops against Dzungar Khanate ruled by Galdan Boshugtu Khan. The battle ended with a Qing victory.[4]

In 1709, Yinqi was granted the title of Prince Heng [5] of the First Rank (恒親王). In 1719, he designed his eldest son, Hongsheng (弘昇; 1696–1754), as his heir.[6] Hongsheng was stripped of his titles in 1727 because of his inability to deal with official affairs.
