In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, were Fu Youde and Li Dingguo the same person?

Fu Youde (? -1394), Han nationality, from Xiangcheng County, Anhui Province (now Huaibei, Anhui Province). The founding star of Ming dynasty. [ 1]

At the end of Yuan Dynasty, he participated in the Red Scarf Army (Liu Futong) Uprising. He led his troops to Zhu Yuanzhang, made many meritorious deeds, rose from a partial talent to a general, led troops to win the Yuan army many times, and pacified Gansu, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. [1] was awarded the title of Ying Guogong, and a prince was added for his meritorious deeds. In the Southern Ming Dynasty, King Lijiang was chased, and posthumous title "Jason Wu" [8]. Li Dingguo (162 1 year-1662), whose real name was Yu Ning (or Yunzi, formerly known as Rujing), was a national hero of the anti-Qing regime in Nanming and a native of Yulin (or Yan 'an) in Shaanxi. [ 1]

Li Dingguo was born in a poor peasant family. In A.D. 1630 (the third year of Chongzhen), Zhang launched a famine uprising in northern Shaanxi, adopted Li Dingguo as an adopted son, and changed his surname to Zhang. From then on, he followed Zhang to the north and south. [2]

As an adult, Li Dingguo was brave and good at fighting, and was deeply loved by Zhang. After Zhang's death, he joined the Nanming regime. /kloc-at the beginning of 0/652 (six years in Li Yong and nine years in Shunzhi), Li Dingguo made full preparations and sent 80,000 troops to attack Hunan. First take Yuanzhou (now Qianyang, Hunan) and Jingzhou (now Shaoyang, Hunan), then attack Guilin, Guangxi, and defeat the Qing army, forcing Kong Youde, commander-in-chief of the Qing army and king of Dingnan, to commit suicide. Li Dingguo occupied Guilin in early July, and then went straight down to Liuzhou, Hengzhou and other four states, and the soldiers referred to Changsha. When the Qing court heard the news, it was frightened and sent an additional 100 thousand troops to help. In order to escape the spirit of the Qing army, Li Dingguo temporarily evacuated Changsha and retreated to Hengzhou. Ni Kan, commander-in-chief and prince of the Qing army, led the army to pursue him. Li Dingguo ambushed the Qing army and stormed in all directions. The Qing army was defeated, Ni Kan was beheaded, and the whole army was wiped out. Li Dingguo's victory in Guilin and Hengyang opened up a new situation in the struggle against Qing Dynasty in Nanming. [2]

In A.D. 166 1 year (15th year of Li Yong, 18th year of Shunzhi), 100,000 troops from Wu Sangui of the Qing army entered Myanmar, forcing the king of Myanmar to hand over Emperor Li Yong, but failed. The following year, Wu Sangui killed Li Yong in Kunming, and Nan Ming also died. When Li Dingguo heard the news, he fell ill with grief. /kloc-Li Dingguo, who persisted in the anti-Qing struggle on the southwest border in 0/7, 1662 died in Mengla (west of Lancang River) in June, aged 42. [2]

Now people in Yunnan still regard Li Dingguo as the backbone of central Yunnan. In the late Qing Dynasty, revolutionaries rebelled, and Cai E and others followed Li Dingguo's example. Zhang said, "I wish I could be a native of Yunnan and never forget Li Dingguo!"
