闽越 / Minyue

闽越 / Minyue enters the wiki through Hanji 169 part 2 as the southeastern polity 刘邦 recognizes when he makes 无诸 / Wuzhu its king. The source places Minyue in the Minzhong region and ties it to the wider post-Yue dispersal after 楚国 destroyed 越国.

In the episode, Minyue matters less as administrative geography than as founding recognition. Wuzhu’s support for Liu Bang during the Chu-Han struggle is rewarded with royal title, so the polity becomes part of the same early 西汉 settlement field as 长沙国.

The page also links Minyue to 百越 without collapsing the terms. Baiyue remains the broad southern label used across earlier Qin sources; Minyue is the more specific Yue-descended polity recognized in this Hanji 169 part 2 episode.

Key Claims

• Minyue is introduced as a southeastern Yue-descended polity recognized by Liu Bang through Wuzhu’s kingship.
• The source ties Minyue to post-Yue dispersal and to the Chu-Han incentive structure created by Xiang Yu’s unrewarding settlement.
• Minyue extends the wiki’s southern China branch from Qin conquest and Baiyue campaigns into early Western Han recognition politics.
