I'm looking for some information on a late Ming dynasty officer, possibly a General by the name Tung En Zhang who was said to have been a formidable spearman and possibly an influence on the accredited founder of Xingyiquan Ji long Feng (aka. Ji Jike).
Has anyone heard of him?
My teacher has mentioned the name and i wanted to do a bit of my wn research but without any chinese sources and inability to read chinese I'm a bit stuck. Are there are any written sources or other info out there which lists Ming officers, battles etc.
Ming Officer Tung En Zhang any information?

Hi backgroundreader; welcome to CHF!
I'm not familiar with the name. I'll do some digging to see what I can find.
Regards

Do you have the chinese character for Tung En Zhang? Perhaps, I can help you check the info.
