Later Long Dynasty

The Later Long Dynasty (Mandarin: 后龙朝 Hòulóngcháo) was an Imperial Dynasty of Longzhou and claimed to be the predecessor Dynasty to the Long Dynasty, established by Long Erhuang (Mandarin: 龙二皇) and ruled by the Long Clan (Mandarin: 龙 Lóng) in Northern Sinju. Established when the Long Clan usurped the House of Zhang and secured loyalty from nobles of Zhong Buluo in 1392 BCE. In the following decade, the Long Clan conquered Bei Buluo, and much of Nan Buluo, Dong Buluo, and Xi Buluo. Long Erhuang claimed to be descended from the Dragon Emperor, claiming the mantle "Later Long" as a continuation of the mythical Long Dynasty. It lasted until 603 BCE, collapsing due to a mix of inter-clan fighting, increased resistance from the House of Zhang and House of Luo, a string of incompetent emperors, and renewed fighting from Xi Buluo, Dong Buluo, and Nan Buluo.
