段直，字正卿，澤州晉城人。 Duan Zhi, courtesy name Zhengqing, was a native of Jincheng in Ze Prefecture.

至元十一年，河北、河東、山東盜賊充斥，直聚其鄉黨族屬，結壘自保。 In the eleventh year of Zhiyuan (1274), bandits overran Hebei, Hedong, and Shandong; Zhi rallied his neighbors and clansmen, built a fortified camp, and held out for their safety.

世祖命大將略地晉城，直以其眾歸之，幕府承製，署直潞州元帥府右監軍。 When Kublai sent a great general to subdue the Jincheng region, Zhi brought his followers over to the Yuan side; the field headquarters, acting by imperial commission, appointed him right supervising general of the Lu Prefecture Marshal's headquarters.

其後論功行賞，分土世守，命直佩金符，為澤州長官。 Later, when merits were rewarded with hereditary fiefs, he was granted a golden tally and appointed chief administrator of Ze Prefecture.

澤民多避兵未還者，直命籍其田廬於親戚鄰人之戶，且約曰：「俟業主至，當析而歸之。」 Many in Ze Prefecture had fled the wars and not yet come home; Zhi had their fields and houses registered under the care of relatives and neighbors, with the pledge: "When the owners return, everything shall be divided and given back."
