Dong Zhang
In March 926, Zhuangzong sent Xia to execute the family of Jiedushi of Hezhong Li Jilin (birth name Zhu Youqian), including Li Jilin's illiterate wife Lady Zhang. In May 926, Zhuangzong was killed in a mutiny, and Li Siyuan ascended the throne as Mingzong. Xia reverted to using only his original surname. In 930, as Mingzong prepared a Later Tang attack on the state of Jingnan (also called Nanping), there was a rebellion by Meng Zhixiang, Jiedushi of Xichuan and Dong Zhang, jiedushi of Dongchuan. Also involved in the rebellion were general Li Renhan, Zhao Tingyin at Hanzhou and Zhang Ye (later named Zhang Ye). The rebels attack Xia's Suizhou garrison with an army of 30,000 in October 930. Xia asked the Later Tang imperial court for assistance and they sent Shi Jingtang (who later overthrew Later Tang and became founding emperor of Later Jin). The rebel army sent officers Kang Wentong and Gao Jingrou from Zizhou with 20,000 peasant militia to block Shi's army from reaching Suizhou.
