Zhu Jin
Zhu Jin () (867–918) was a warlord late in the
Chinese Tang dynasty who would later be a major general of the
Wu (also known as Hongnong) state during the subsequent
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. In the late Tang years, Zhu Jin, as the military governor (''
jiedushi'') of Taining Circuit (泰寧, headquartered in modern
Jining,
Shandong) would form a power bloc with his cousin
Zhu Xuan the military governor of Tianping Circuit (天平, headquartered in modern
Tai'an,
Shandong), but they were both eventually defeated by
Zhu Quanzhong the military governor of Xuanwu Circuit (宣武, headquartered in modern
Kaifeng,
Henan). Zhu Xuan was killed, and Zhu Jin fled to the domain of
Yang Xingmi the military governor of Huainan Circuit (淮南, headquartered in modern
Yangzhou,
Jiangsu); he would thereafter serve under Yang and Yang's successors, whose domain formed the Wu state eventually. In 918, angry at the arrogance of the Wu junior regent
Xu Zhixun (the son of the regent
Xu Wen), he assassinated Xu Zhixun, but Xu Wen's troops attacked him; he committed suicide when he saw that there was no escape.
