Fāng

Fang was the coastal domain of Fang Guozhen, a native of Huangyan in Zhejiang.

In 1348 Fang gathered a fleet offshore and disrupted grain shipments to the Yuan capital. By 1356 he controlled Qingyuan, Taizhou and Wenzhou, and accepted Yuan titles. In 1367 Zhu Yuanzhang’s forces captured Taizhou and Wenzhou and drove him from Ningbo. Fang surrendered that December and lived in Nanjing until he died in 1374.
