Li Shuball or simply Shuball was a short-lived regime established by the anti-
Songball rebel leader Li Shun (李順) in .png){kind=icon}
Sichuanball.
In spite of initial victories and the garnering of much local support, Li Shuball and its rebellion was pacified by Songball only five months after being established.[1]
History
Background
After the fall of Later Shuball to Songball in 965, much of the former regime's treasury in Sichuanball was repatriated to the capital. The situation in Sichuanball was tenuous as more grievances, such as corruption and excessive expenses cultivated grounds for a rebellion.
In 993, Wang Xiaobo (王小波), a local tea farmer, gathered an audience and rebelled against Songball. In 994, Wang was injured in battle and died from illness, so his brother-in-law Li Shun took the reigns of the group.
Establishment & Abolishment
Li Shun then fought their way towards Chengduball. The Songball officials, in fear, evacuated to head to Zizhouball. Li entered the city and assumed the title of Grand Prince of Shu (大蜀王), establishing Li Shuball.[2]
After assuming emperorship, Li attacked Jianmenball and Zizhouball but failed to capture either. Defenses by Songball commanders Shangguan Zheng (上官正) Wang Jien (王繼) proved pivotal in the destruction of Li Shuball, as both were able to hold out—with unfavourable odds—against Li Shun's attacks.[3]
In May, Wang advanced towards Chengduball and captured Li Shun, and effectively ending the ephemeral Li Shuball regime.[4] Notwithstanding the death of their leader, armies loyal to Li Shuball continued resisting Songball until May of 996.[5]
