Qin Liangyu was a military leader from [[Sichuan province]] who led forces against the [[Manchu]] invasion of China, and against the rebel leader [[Zhang Xianzhong]].
As a youth, Qin was taught martial skills and literacy by her father. She later married a native tribal chieftain in Sichuan, and following the death of her husband, led his troops to [[Beijing]] to face the Manchu invaders. She later also led men in defense of Sichuan against the rebel leader Zhang Xianzhong. Her daughter-in-law rose to prominence as a military leader as well, before being killed in battle in [[Henan province]].
In her old age, Qin was honorarily named a "marquis" by the [[Prince of Gui]], one of the last claimants to the [[Ming Dynasty|Ming]] throne.
