Wu Kingdom - Short Synopsis

The Kingdom of Wu (902-937) was established in modern-day Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces. It was founded by Yang Xingmi, who became a Tang Dynasty military governor in 892. The capital was initially at Guangling (present-day Yangzhou - Jiangsu province) and later moved to Jinling (present-day Nanjing - Jiangsu province). The kingdom fell in 937 when it was taken from within by the founder of the Southern Tang.
