Kill three generals and eighteen generals of the Qing army and fight to the last man. Who was the best chief in Ming Dynasty?

This leader was Yan Yingyuan of the Ming Dynasty. He had a match with the Qing army in Jiangyin. Yan Yingyuan's original post in Jiangyin at that time was only a small leader. During his time as chief, he never relied on power to harm the village. On the contrary, he is fair and just, and often does good for the people. Because of his outstanding achievements, the imperial court originally wanted to promote his official position, but because his mother was seriously ill, Yan Yingyuan declined the imperial order and remained in Jiangyin City.

Later, the county magistrate of Jiangyin City surrendered to the Qing army without fighting, which aroused the anger of the people of Jiangyin City, so he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in a non-governmental organization. In order to make the team have a good leader, everyone unanimously elected Yan Yingyuan as the leader. Yan Yingyuan gladly accepted and led them to swear that they must resist the Qing army all the way. Then they marched in Jiangyin City and had a fight with the Qing army.

Under the leadership of Yan Yingyuan, the insurgents strictly performed their duties, and the Qing army could not attack for a long time. Yan Yingyuan also recruited skilled carpenters and blacksmiths in the city to build weapons overnight. With these Yan Yingyuan and his team, they repelled the attacks of the Qing army again and again, and even played fireballs, causing tragic casualties of the Qing army. During this period, Yan Yingyuan also took the lead and even killed three generals and eighteen generals of the Qing army, making the Qing army, which is famous for its bravery, tremble with fear.

Later, the Qing army could only use delaying tactics, but they were fooled by Yan Yingyuan. In desperation, the Qing army had to surround Jiangyin City, cut off all the road checkpoints near Jiangyin City, and Jiangyin City became an isolated city. However, in the case of lack of food and water in the city, Yan Yingyuan went out for several days in a row, until he could not meet them at last, only to be breached by the Qing army, and Yan Yingyuan committed suicide with a sword and died without regret.
