Zhang Ni

Zhang Ni, courtesy name Boqi, was a military general of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China. Famous for his courage and generosity, Zhang Ni made his name known while rescuing a magistrate's wife from bandits and leading her to safety. Often working with Ma Zhong He was instrumental in pacifying the indigenous tribes residing within and around the border of Shu. He spent at least 18 years dealing with the continuum of domestic uprisings around Yuexi/Yuesui and Ba commanderies though he was a talented general, Zhang Ni often looked for humane solutions and sought to make peace or negotiate with foreign tribes when he could. Thanks to his upright attitude, those tribes loved him, weeping and grabbing hold of his carriage when they learned he would be leaving.
