Li Tianbao

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Li Tianbao (Chinese: 李添保; ?–1460), leader of a mid-Ming dynasty rebellion in Guizhou, was from Macheng (Macheng, Hubei Province). He fled to Guizhou to avoid corvée labor and in 1460, he claimed to be a descendant of Emperor Taizong of Tang and led a rebellion of over ten thousand Miao and Han people, declaring himself king and using the era name of "Wulie" (武烈).[a] The Ming dynasty sent General Li Zhen (李震) to suppress the rebellion and Li Tianbao was defeated, captured, and executed.[1][2]
