Hóngzhōu

Hongzhou Poli was a Kam chieftaincy in the southeastern hills of Guizhou, centred on the Hongzhou stockade near the Hunan border. Its communities were among the Kam settlements later brought under Ming administration.

In 1397 the Ming general Gu Cheng put down risings at Hongzhou, Poli, Fulu and Yongcong. The Hongzhou Poli native long commandery was re-established under the Guizhou Guard in 1403 and assigned to Liping Prefecture in 1414. The neighbouring Fulu-Yongcong commandery, centred on Yongcong, became a county in 1441.
