On September 20, 1618, we receive further good news, Champa accepts our offer to become vassals of our Divine Emperor. In October we hear that Yalu converts from Confucianism to Buddhism, but this means nothing to us, as we accept both religions, and in fact, much of Buddhism is more attractive to the warrior cast. By April 1619, we are once againdealing with Muslim rebels in Chin and take the fortress. On the 18th, they are besieged by Imperial troops. They fall by Febuary 1620.
The summer and fall pass uneventfully until October 17th, when the river that marks our boundary with our vassals in Tuangu shifts. There is disagreement whether the river should remain the boundary (to our benefit), or the old boundary line stay in place as nearly as possible. We negotiate a settlement with our loyal vassals (+25 relations).
In April 1621 Chin again revolts, with the province being lost and beseiged before being retaken in September 1622. On June 23,1623, tokugawa Iemetsu is appointed general of our foreign armies (4,5,5). But on May 1, 1623, we refine our offensive tactics to allow for assaults on fortifications (lvl 5 land). On the 14th, Mandalay converts to hindu. This is problematic, as we are only barely tolerating that religion. We are going to have to invest in missionaries one day, but the cost right now is too exhorbinant to afford. But removing the Muslims in Chin has not worked--in fact the population is still gring despite the revolts, seiges, and massacres.
By September 14th, we move to gather more power to the Bakafu, secure in our knowledge no rebels will be able to stand up to the Bakafu. But heretical trachings are another matter, as April 19, 1624, a wave of obscurantism sweeps the realm (revolt risk +3), and this complicates still futher the domestic unrest. In August Santal revolts, and in September Chin follows.
But on January 2nd, events begin that will truly put our reign to the test. China declares war on Dai Viet and we accept the call to allies, at least in word. But on the 8th a more serious threat follows, Manchu declares war on us, and our allies respond to the call to arms.
