Yu Qian

Yu Qian

Yu Qian (zh-cpw |c=于謙 |p=Yú Qiān |w=Yu Ch'ien) (1398-1457), a native of Qiantang (modern-day Hangzhou, Zhejiang province) was the Chinese Defence Minister of the Ming dynasty.

He is best known for saving China when the Zhengtong Emperor fought the Mongol leader Esen Tayisi in 1449 and was taken prisoner. The Mongol armies came within 80 km of the capital Beijing, but Yu took control of the army and managed to repel the assault and the Jingtai Emperor was installed as ruler of China. After the Zhengtong Emperor regained the throne, Yu was slandered as a traitor and executed, but his rank was restored posthumously. He is considered by many to be a Chinese hero.
