In 1465, he was appointed as military inspector for a campaign, led by Zhao Fu, against a rebellion of Miao peoples in Datengxia (present-day Guiping, Guangxi). On the successful conclusion of the campaign, Han Yong was appointed Viceroy of Liangguang to continue pacification efforts, but eventually retired due to attacks from his subordinates.
