Reorganization

Chapter 360 – Reorganization

Many new emperors of a new dynasty named their empire after their tribes, such as Xia, Shang, and Zhou. Some used their previous title and noble rank as their dynasty name.

Cao Cao was entitled as a Duke of Wei when Liu Xie, aka Liu Xian, was still the emperor of Han. When Cao Pi took the throne, he named his kingdom after his father's title, Wei.

Sun Quan had been bestowed with a title of Duke of Wu before he raised his the Wu Kingdom.

Even the Han Dynasty, which Liu Bang found, had its name from Liu Bang's birthplace, Hanzhong. Furthermore, Liu Bang received a similar title like the others, the Duke of Han.

After Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and unified the country, the name of the Han Dynasty was a given.

Unfortunately, such a case did not apply to Tong. He never received any official title from an emperor, and only his father had a measly title of Julu Governor.
