Li Renda
Li Renda () (died 947), also known by the names of
Li Hongyi () (945–946),
Li Hongda () (946),
Li Da () (946–947), and
Li Ruyun () (947), was a warlord of the
Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period. He was initially an officer for the state of
Min. In Min's last years, he rebelled against its last emperor
Wang Yanzheng and seized control of the Fu Prefecture (福州, in modern
Fuzhou,
Fujian) region, initially in nominal allegiance to both
Southern Tang and
Later Jin. When Southern Tang's emperor
Li Jing tried to force to yield actual control to the Southern Tang imperial government, however, he turned his allegiance to
Wuyue and fought off the Southern Tang attack with Wuyue aid. When his relationship with the Wuyue general Bao Xiurang () eventually broke down, he considered killing Bao and resubmitting to Southern Tang, but Bao discovered this and killed him first, allowing Wuyue to take actual control over the region.
