Dìngyuǎn

Dìngyuǎn lies in the low hills south of the Huái River. During the rebellions at the end of the Yuán dynasty, it became an early field of action for Zhū Yuánzhāng. In 1354 he led a small band south toward Dìngyuǎn, beginning an independent campaign that helped him build the force with which he would later found the Míng dynasty.
