As you can see we have hired some more talented men to our court. Another army man named Zaid Quli to help Karawi in reforming our armies and a quality diplomat called Badî al-Zamân Bali, to whose hands we trust our relations to foreign nations and how they see us in their eyes.
We started building workshops in those few provinces of ours which were fully considered as part of our state but which didn't have one yet. We also fortified Khurasan, our capital, and our Crimean holdings.
Couple of more provinces were successfully converted, the Greek Orthodox of Trebizon included. The Shia domination of the Earth has started.
We found out that Ethiopians had tried to murder one of my assistants. This was a great chance to help our new Swahili friends to fully take over East Africa. We declare a war.
We haven't even reached Arabia with our men when Swahili already peaces out with the Ethiopians.
Such a bad peace, they could have had it all. Fine, we won't give them any more free wars. Instead we'll help the Ethiopians. We hand over the Yemeni lands they have conquered in a peace. Surprisingly they decline the first offer, but smart as they are at least they accept the second time we offer it with exactly same terms!
Just days after that we received a message from the far island kingdom of Brunei that they would gladly form an alliance with us. Of course they would, we're the most powerful thing they know west of China. We accept it as relatively powerful ally in the east could provide useful. We're sure this'll be a fruitful friendship!
Yeah that started nicely...
In fact, we cannot even see their main island so let's just forget them for now.
The long long war in the east is over. The Ming alliance made a white peace with Vijayanagar and Orissa, but stubborn Bihar kept fighting to the last man. In the end, they had give up half of Tibet. Ming is getting closer to India.
Moment before the peace, the last Muslim states in India, Sind and Gujarat, attacked Bihar. Abandoned by their allies and having all their armies in the east, the Muslims quickly took over most of Bihar. This must've been one of the reasons why Bihar decided it's better to give up Tibet.
But Ming's luck and expansion won't end there. They inherit Japan and the east gets even more unified. This could lead into a big and bad troubles for us once they realise our existance.
