胡季犛
A few years prior to the invasion, Hồ Quý Ly usurped the throne of the Trần dynasty, which led to the intercession of the Ming government to re-establish the Trần. However, Hồ forces attacked the Ming convoy escorting a Trần pretender, and all were killed in the attack. After this, the Yongle Emperor appointed Marquises Zhang Fu to prepare and lead the Ming armies for the invasion of Đại Việt. The war lasted from 1406 to 1407, resulting in the Ming conquest of Đại Việt and the capture of Hồ Quý Ly, his princes and members of the Hồ family.
