Lishan (official)

Lishan (Chinese: 立山, 1843–1900), from the Tumet clan[1] (土默特氏) with the courtesy name Yufu (豫甫), was a Manchu politician of the late Qing dynasty.

When the Alliance approached Tianjin, the court officials were summoned to the palace for a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Prince Duan was angried and proposed that Lishan be responsible for persuading the Eight-Nation Allied Forces to withdraw.

Lishan claimed that he favored peaceful resolution of conflicts, but he was not familiar with foreign affairs, making him difficult to take on.

Since Lishan's residence was close to a French church, Prince Dan started rumors that he was hiding Westerners and secretly provided food to them through tunnels.
