[From.GetUsableNameCap]'s Nomadic Fears

Nomad Frontier

Powerful hordes on the frontier have been a constant threat to the Empire of China throughout history. With the rise of yet another powerful Horde on the frontier our people are starting to doubt that we will be able to protect them.

Only time will tell.

Koxinga Flees to Taiwan

---

Over the course of our nation’s collapse we have lost most of our ports and thus control over what remains of our navy. Claiming to be a Ming loyalist, a general known as Koxinga has commandeered several vessels and fled to Taiwan. The Ming government has historically taken little interest in the island, seeing it as a largely irrelevant backwater. Koxinga however sees potential in the island, and aims to use it as a base from which to eventually retake the mainland.

This event happens only once during a campaign.

We have lost control over the north. The peasant warlord Li Zicheng has consolidated a large host of rebels and bandits under his command and seized control of an alarmingly large portion of the Empire. Li has declared himself Emperor and laid claim to the Mandate of Heaven. In a proclamation from the capital, Li announces the beginning of the Shun dynasty and pledges to restore traditional rituals and rule in accordance with Heaven.

Yunnan Protectorate

---

It has always been difficult to rule the disparate peoples of the south-western provinces, but never more so than in this time of crisis. The rebels have begun to consolidate under the warlord [CDL.Monarch.GetName], who demands that the [Root.GetAdjective] state recognize him as Protector of Yunnan. We risk losing control of the region entirely if we do not take drastic action.

Losing Control of the South

---

South China is in chaos. Swarms of rebels and bandits ravage the countryside and even control several cities of vital importance to the state. As the [Root.GetAdjective] state has failed to deal with this crisis, local governors have taken matters into their own hands. They have raised armies to combat the rebels, but they are refusing to take orders from our generals. Our messengers report that they intend to continue to administer their feudatory states even after the crisis is over. Allowing them to rule so autonomously will set a dangerous precedent, but we are hardly in a position to challenge these lords.
