Chen Youding

Chen Youding (simplified Chinese: 陈友定; traditional Chinese: 陳友定; 1330–1368), courtesy names Anguo (安國), Guo'an (國安) or Yongqing (永卿), was a military leader of China's Yuan dynasty. He quelled various late-Yuan uprisings and the Ispah rebellion. He was finally promoted to the highest official in Fujian because of his military leadership and talent. After the fall of the Yuan dynasty, Chen refused to submit to the Ming dynasty and was eventually sentenced to death by the Hongwu Emperor.
