Wang Delu (Chinese: 王得祿; pinyin: Wáng Delù; 1772–1843) was a general during the Qing dynasty. He was born in what is now Taibao City, Chiayi County, Taiwan.[1]
He enlisted as a soldier aged 15, and later led China's navy. He died of natural causes during the First Opium War.
Because of his success as a soldier, he was ennobled by the imperial court, which also donated money for a lavish funeral and a huge tomb—the largest extant in Taiwan.
