A military general of the Ming dynasty, who is one of the most famous and brilliant generals in Chinese culture. Before the rise of Manchurians he took up a post in northeast China and the defense line he presided over at the time was the strongest and most powerful one in the Ming dynasty. Continuously, he led the team to defeat the army of Manchu monarch Nurhaci in 1626 and repeatedly thwarted the Manchu invasion during the battle with Hong Taiji, the son of Nurhaci. Regrettably, under the frame of political opponents the general was executed due to false imprisonment. However, the reputation of Yuan Chonghuan was rehabilitated in the Qing dynasty, and is widely regarded as a national hero in China nowadays.
