Meng Zhixiang's Declaration as Emperor

March 16th, 934 1090 years ago

Meng Zhixiang declared himself emperor and founded the Later Shu, establishing a new independent state from the Later Tang dynasty. This declaration took place in Chengdu, the capital of the region he controlled, as he aimed to assert authority over the areas in Sichuan. Discontent with the Later Tang's rule and the pursuit of regional autonomy motivated this significant political move.
