This is a follow-up to the poorly executed poll, "New Chinese Leader." Here, I actually spell the names right :) ......
 
Kangxi! Longest reigning Emperor of China. Beat the crap out of Russia, conquered mongolia and Modern Russian Manchu. Beefed up the millitary and tripled the money in the treasury. Created a super accurate calender for farming and compised one of the best dictionaries ever.

QianLong! Founder of the Qing Dynasty

HongWu! Founder of the Ming Dynasty, was a actually a peasant, overthrew the mongols and advanced farming techqiunes as well as overseerer of Zheng He's voyages
 
I posted before the poll went up
 
I would say Qin shi huang because of the great wall, his tomb, his statebuilding, expansion of chinese civ, etc. Although he basically started China he killed so much of the Chinese. Hongwu and Taizu too have their merits.
 
Zhuge Liang. He could kick anybody's *** ;)

But, other than him, many of the Chinese leaders are equally great. theres just too many! althuogh i'd put Mao Zedong LOWEST on the list above.

Zhuge Liang was never a leader so....

...and yes Mao shouldn't even be on that list much less numba 1.
 
Now that I've put Taizu, I somewhat regret it. It think Hongzhi (he was the only emporer to have one wife and was a just ruler) or Wen/Jing of Han (just, benevolent rulers who spread Daoism).
 
Han Wu Di was also a brilliant leader ordered the first census in China, imvaded and conquered Korea, Kygstan and Vietnam and repel and kick barbarian butt(sorry) from invading China

That may be just enough to earn him the title of "one of the greatest conquerors in history" :goodjob:
