Just prior to Emperor Wu's death in 290, he was created the Prince of Yuzhang.

| | | | | Wu Hu: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Yuan of Jin - After the fall of Luoyang In 311, Luoyang fell to Han Zhao forces, and Emperor Huai was captured. A large number of refugees, fleeing Han Zhao forces, crossed the Yangtze River and arrived in Sima Rui's domain. Under Wang Dao's suggestion, Sima Rui sought out the talented men among them and added them to his administration. Meanwhile, he began to exercise more imperial power, and began to put all other provinces south of the Huai River under his own control -- and, for the next few years, under the command of Wang Dun and other generals such as Tao Kan and Zhou Fang ...

| | | | | Wu Hu: Encyclopedia II - History of Central Asia - Return of indigenous rule Over time, as new technologies were introduced, the nomadic horsemen grew in power. The Scythians developed the saddle, and by the time of the Alans the use of the stirrup had begun. Horses continued to grow larger and sturdier so that chariots were no longer needed as the horses could carry men with ease. This greatly increased the mobility of the nomads; it also freed their hands, allowing them to use the bow from horseback. Using small but powerful composite bows, the steppe people gradually became the most powerful military force in the ...

| | | | | Wu Hu: Encyclopedia II - History of Central Asia - External influences In the first and second millennia BC a series of large and powerful states developed on the southern periphery of Central Asia. These empires launched several attempts to conquer the steppe peoples, but met with only mixed success. The Median Empire and Achaemenid Empire both ruled parts of Central Asia. Chinese states would also regularly strive to extend their power westwards. Despite their military might, these states found it almost impossible to conquer the nomads. When faced by a stronger force the nomads could simply retreat deep into ...

| | | | | Wu Hu: Encyclopedia II - History of China - Qing Dynasty The Qing Dynasty (清朝, 1644–1911) was founded after the defeat of the Ming, the last Han Chinese dynasty, by the Manchus (滿族). The Manchus were formerly known as the Jurchen and invaded from the north in the late seventeenth century. For many decades, historians did not understand the differences between the Manchu rulers and their Chinese subjects. Even though the Manchus started out as alien conquerors, they quickly adopted the Confucian norms ...

| | | | | Wu Hu: Encyclopedia II - History of Central Asia - Conquest of the steppes The lifestyle that had existed largely unchanged since 500 BC began to disappear after 1500. An important change in the world economy in the fourteenth and fifteenth century was brought about by the development of nautical technology. Ocean trade routes were pioneered by the Europeans, who were cut off from the Silk Road by the Muslim states that controlled its western termini. The trade between East Asia, India, Europe, and the Middle East began to move over the seas and not through Central Asia. The disunity of the region after the end of the Mongol Empire also made trade and t ...

History of Central Asia - Russia's Campaigns.
The forces of the khanates were poorly-eqipped, and could do little to resist the advance of the Tsars' armies, although the Kokandian commander Alimqul led a quixotic campaign before being killed outside Chimkent. The main opposition to Russian expansion into Turkestan came from the British, who felt that Russia was growing too powerful, and threatening the North-West frontiers of British India. This rivalry came to be known as The Great Game, where both powers compe ...

| | | | | Wu Hu: Encyclopedia II - Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo - Death and legacy Emperor Gwanggaeto died of disease in 413, at the age of 39. Although Gwanggaeto ruled for only 22 years and died fairly young, his conquests are said to mark the high tide of Korean history. Except for the period under his son and successor, King Jangsu, and the later Kingdom of Balhae, Korea never before or since ruled such a vast territory. There is evidence that Goguryeo's maximum extent lay even further west, in present-day Mongolia, bordered by the Rouran and Gokturks. Gwanggaeto is also given credit for establishing reign titles for the first time in Korean history, a symbolic gesture ...

Immediately upon being crowned king of Goguryeo, Gwanggaeto granted himself the title Emperor Yeongnak, making himself equal to the rulers of China and the King of Baekje. He then began to rebuild and retrain Goguryeo's cavalry units and naval fleet, and they were put into action the following year, 392, against the Kingdom of Baekje.
In 392, with Gwanggaeto himself in command, Goguryeo attacked Baekje with 50,000 cavalry, taking 10 walled cities along the border ...

Sima Rui then declared himself emperor (as Emperor Yuan). At this time, the areas directly under his control were roughly south of the Yellow River and east of the Three Gorges, although pockets of Jin territory in the north -- chief among which was You Province (幽州, modern Beijing, Tianjin, and northern Hebei), controlled by the ethnically Xianbei governor Duan Pidi (段匹磾) -- largely also recognized him as emperor.

| | | | | Wu Hu: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Yuan of Jin - Confrontation with Wang Dun By 320, Emperor Yuan's relationship with Wang Dun was at a breaking point, as Wang Dun had grown more and more arrogant and controlling of the western provinces. Emperor Yuan feared him, and therefore began to group men around him who were against Wang Dun as well, such as Liu Huai (劉隗) and Diao Xie (刁協) -- men of mixed reputation who, in their efforts to suppress the Wangs' power offended many other people. In 321, Emperor Yuan commissioned Dai Yuan (戴淵) and Liu with substantial forces, claiming that they were to defend against Later Zhao attacks, but instead was ...

He was created the Duke of Anle (安樂公), and his sons and grandsons were created marquesses.
