Wú

Wu was a lower Yangtze regime founded by Zhang Shicheng, a salt trader.

Zhang rebelled against the Yuan in 1353 and founded Zhou at Gaoyou in 1354. He later took Suzhou, but surrendered to the Yuan in 1357 before declaring himself King of Wu in 1363. After defeating Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Zhang; his troops captured Suzhou and Zhang in 1367.
