Wanggika

Wanggika, also called Wanyan, was a Jianzhou Jurchen group in the wooded upper Hun River country. Its settlements lay among the rivers and mountains east of Liaoyang. In 1588 Nurhaci captured its stronghold, bringing a major rival among the Jianzhou groups under his growing authority. From nearby Hetu Ala he later proclaimed the Later Jin in 1616, establishing a new Jurchen state.
