Hsenwi

Hsenwi, or Mubang, was a Shan state west of the Salween, centred on Hsenwi. It submitted to the Yuan as a route command under Yunnan; in 1337 its ruler was Sao San Noi.

The Ming made Mubang a prefecture and then a pacification office. During the Ming-Burmese wars of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Toungoo seized Hsenwi. In the Sino-Burmese War of 1765 to 1769, Qing general Ming Rui captured it in 1767 and used it as a supply base; his army was destroyed in Burma, leaving Hsenwi under Konbaung rule.
