Phó Minh Duyên (29 May 1902 – 13 July 2002) was a Quenminese general officer who served in the Quenminese Front of the Siduri War. He is known by three nicknames: "Young Marshal" and "Horsepower Duyên" and "Almost Töbedar." The former was attained for being the youngest officer in the Army to be promoted to a General, and the latter two was for his emphasis, if not preference, for rapid movements and mobile offensives and his frequent and innovative use of motorized infantry and armoured warfare, which can be compared to the Töbedar horde.
Duyên commanded the 16th Army, which was placed in Marshal Mạc Hiếu Quang's Northern Imperial Front. He participated in Operation Kunai Grass, where his mobile tactics helped to throw the Inner Sphere divisions into disarray, and the Northern Kansdoen Campaign, where he contributed into securing Kansdoen under Imperial rule. He also participated in the final counteroffensive at the end of the war.
