Tang Jingsong (Chinese: 唐景崧; Wade–Giles: T'ang Ching-sung; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tn̂g Kéng-siông; 1841–1903) was a Chinese general and statesman. He commanded the Yunnan Army in the Sino-French War (August 1884–April 1885), and made an important contribution to Qing dynasty China's military effort in Tonkin (northern Vietnam) by persuading the Black Flag leader Liu Yongfu to serve under Chinese command. His intelligent, though ultimately unsuccessful, direction of the Siege of Tuyên Quang (November 1884–March 1885) was widely praised. Read more on Wikipedia
