Bǎojìng

Baojing was a Tujia chieftaincy in the Wuling mountains of northwestern Huguang. Its hereditary Peng rulers shared an ancestry with the Peng of Yongshun; under the Yuan it was Baojing prefecture.

In 1351 Peng Wanqian of Yongshun made Baojing a subordinate pacification commission. Under the Ming it rose to a xuanwei commission; Peng Jinchen led native troops on campaigns. Baojing’s troops fought beside Yongshun’s against wokou at Wangjiangjing in 1555. The last chief, Peng Yubin, was removed in 1726. Hereditary rule ended in 1727, Baojing County was created in 1729, and Peng was sent to Liaoyang.
