Ren Zhu (Chinese: 任柱; died 1867), born in Mengcheng Anhui, China, was an eminent military leader of the Nien Rebellion who was known during his military tenure as the King of Lu (魯王). He led Nien (捻軍) forces to many military victories. Li Hongzhang praised Ren Zhu's ability to command hundreds of thousands of cavalry. In May 1865, during a campaign against the Qing in Shandong, he shot the Qing general Sengge Rinchen during the Battle of Gaolouzhai, which sent a shock to the Qing Dynasty and resulted in the promotion of field marshal Zeng Guofan to commander of the Huai Army, Li Hongzhang.[clarification needed]
