Biography

张神武,新建人。
明史卷二百七十一 列传第一百五十九:
  神武,新建人。万历中举武会试第一。授四川都司佥书。既论死,辽左兵兴,用经略袁应泰荐,诏谕从征立功。神武率亲丁二百四十余,疾驰至广宁。会辽阳已失,巡抚薛国用固留之,不可,曰:“奉命守辽阳,非守广宁也。”曰:“辽阳殁矣,若何之?”曰:“将以歼敌。”曰:“二百人能歼敌乎?”曰:“不能,则死之。”前至辽河,遇逃卒十余万。神武以忠义激其帅,欲与还战,帅不从。乃独率所部渡河,抵首山,去辽阳十七里而军。将士不食已一日,遇大清兵,疾呼奋击,孤军无援,尽殁于阵。监军御史方震孺绘神武像,率将士罗拜,为文祭之。诏赠都督佥事,世荫千户,立祠祀之。
  又有杨宗业、梁仲善者,皆援辽总兵官。宗业历镇浙江、山西。杨镐四路败后,命提兵赴援,至是父子并战死。仲善亦战死辽阳城下。宗业赠都督同知,世荫千户;仲善赠都督佥事,增世荫三级。并从祠附祀。
