Taiping Rebellion:

Li Kaifang was a military leader of the Taiping Rebellion from Luchuan, Guangxi, China.[1] In 1851, he was promoted to the rank of corps superintendent.[2] While campaigning in Hunan in 1852, he was promoted three times, rising to the rank of commander.[3] After helping to capture Wuchang and Hanyang in Hubei, he was ultimately named chief chancellor of the Earth Department.[4] Along with Lin Fengxiang, Li lead the Taiping vanguard during the march toward Nanking and occupied Yangzhou in April 1853.[5] Both would also lead the ill-fated Northern Expedition.[6] Li was captured on March 31, 1855 in Fengguantun, Shandong.[7]
