Ssu-ma Yen overthrew Wei in a military coup and established
Hsi Chin Dynasty in 265 CE with its capital at Loyang. Ssu-ma Yen in AD
265 achieved a new unification of China with the conquest of Wu in
AD 280. Emperor Min Ti was killed in an uprising in 316 CE and Chin
(western) Empire lost control and China was fragmented into several small
dynasties. Emperor Yuan, a member of the Ssu-ma dynasty, retained control
of the south and established the Tung (eastern) Chin Dynasty with his capital
at Nanking.
