A military commander in the early Qing Dynasty of China. A bannerman of the Han army under the Zheng Huang Banner. The eldest son of Geng Jimao. His grandfather was the military commander Geng Zhongming from Gaiping, Liaoning Province. He initially followed his father on military campaigns. In 1654, he served Emperor Shunzhi in Beijing and was made a viscount of the first rank. He married the daughter of Emperor Taizong's eldest son, Prince Su Haoge, and in 1671, he succeeded him as King of Jingnan upon his father's death and settled in Fujian. In 1672, he heard that King Shang Kexi of Pingnan in Guangdong was retiring, and he similarly requested to abolish the semi-independent feudal states, which was granted, but he remained in the city when Wu Sangui rebelled. In 1673, he responded to Sangui's rebellion by raising an army under the title of Commander-in-Chief General of the Three Feudal Domains, and started the Three Feudal Domains Rebellion. In 1674, he surrendered. After the surrender, he worked to suppress anti-Qing forces, but after suppressing the rebellion of the Three Feudal Domains, he was recalled to Beijing and crucified in the same year.
