朱达 / Zhu Da (late Han)

Overview

朱达 / Zhu Da is a source-scoped late-Han rebel actor from Hanji 843. The episode uses his 157 CE revolt to show how corrupt county rule and personnel failure can turn local grievance into violence before a commandery-level response defeats it.

Current Profile

The source says a corrupt county magistrate provokes Zhu Da, local people, and Man/Yi actors into killing him. Zhu Da then gathers several thousand followers, attacks Jiuzhen, and causes the death of administrator Ni Shi before Wei Lang is appointed to suppress him. In the current wiki, Zhu Da matters less as a full rebel biography than as a local symptom inside Hanji 843’s larger poverty, extraction, and governance-diagnosis field.

Key Characteristics

• Zhu Da’s revolt begins with a corrupt and bullying county magistrate, making local administration the immediate trigger.
• His force includes county people and non-Han frontier actors, so the source frames the crisis as social and regional rather than purely personal.
• The rebellion escalates from killing a county magistrate to attacking Jiuzhen and killing the commandery administrator.
• Suppression by Wei Lang is presented as a personnel-fit response after the earlier official failure.
• His canonical page is narrow because the source gives no durable program, ideology, or later career.

Evidence

• Corruption trigger: Hanji 843 says the revolt starts when a corrupt county magistrate provokes Zhu Da and local people into killing him.
• Scale and escalation: Hanji 843 says Zhu Da gathers four to five thousand people, attacks Jiuzhen, and administrator Ni Shi dies.
• Suppression as personnel response: Hanji 843 says Wei Lang is appointed to Jiuzhen and defeats Zhu Da.

Qualifications

The page is bounded to one podcast source note. Jiuzhen, Ni Shi, Wei Lang, and the exact non-Han groups remain source-scoped here because this ingest does not yet supply enough evidence for separate canonical pages.

What Changed

• Created this source-scoped page from Hanji 843.

Relationships

• Hanji 843 - source note for the revolt, Jiuzhen attack, and suppression.
• 汉桓帝 - reign context for the 157 CE rebellion.
• 农本民生优先于币制调整 - adjacent source concept because the same episode treats poverty and extraction as deeper than a coinage problem.
• 查因安抚式治理 - broader governance relationship because the revolt is explained through official misconduct before suppression.
• 民本政治安全 - related because local popular grievance becomes a state-security problem.
