We sweep over 4 of the southern kingdoms along the southeastern coast.
WuYüe: which remains rich and prosperous owing to its favorable trade and geographic positions at the mouth of the Yangtze.
Wu: which starts off strong only to be subsumed from within, giving way to Southern Tang.
Min: whose coastal location is fatally undermined by it own geographic atomization, unto civil war, breakup, and destruction.
