Kaihwei Pyangzhow

Kaihwei Pyangzhow, Grand Duke Spring Flower, was a Harchongese nobleman and warlord during the late 800s and early 900s Years of God.

Before the Rebellion, the Barony of Spring Flower was a very minor holding in Tiegelkamp Province in North Harchong. Pyangzhow had no military experience, but when the Rebellion occurred he was able to attract enough military-trained followers to establish himself as one of the warlords trying to grab as much territory as possible.

Pyangzhow also knew how to portray his actions to Emperor Zhyou-Zhwo. His reports to the Emperor spun his conquests as his continuing efforts to restore the Emperor's rule over the rebellious territories. Zhyou-Zhwo believed him. In October of the Year of God 905, Spring Flower had been elevated first to an earldom, and then a duchy. In October of the Year of God 907, Spring Flower was further elevated to a Grand Duchy.

One persistent thorn in his side was the neighboring Chynduk Valley, which he made several attempts to capture.
