Chen Kunshu

Chen Kunshu (died May 1864), prominent military leader of the Taiping Rebellion, and known during his military tenure as the King of Hu. He led Taiping forces to many military victories especially the Second rout the Army Group Jiangnan. He was executed by Li Hongzhang after interrogation in 1864. Chen was an important General and was the sole person responsible for the late Taiping Rebellion.

Li Hongzhang used Chen to balance Li Xiucheng's power, which was originally justified, but grew too large.
