Victory over Shi Xie!

Shi Xie has been taken over! Wu has achieved yet another major victory!

The casualties are currently in the counting, with Force A doing its due diligence in invading all of Shi Xie, the warlord’s territory.

May the coalition bring about greater glories for Wu!

A bad marriage…? Reports have been emerging that Han locals, and some members of the nobility, disapprove of the Imperial Han-Wu coalition. Their alleged complaints focus on how the coalition will sacrifice Han’s individual aims and incentives, and negatively impact the peoples’ livelihoods. Moreover, rumours are spreading that Sun Quan is corrupt and incompetent. However, many of these rumours seem to have emerged from people who just came to Han several months ago. It's not clear what their motives truly are…

Hip Hip Hooray!

Citizens support in the military has been at the all time high, with great emphasis on protecting trade routes and ensuring border controls remain within our jurisdiction; protecting our soveriegnty.

As General Yuan Guan commands, he believes that it is in the utmost interest of this cabinet to focus on conscription, building strategic bridges, specifying specialised forces in an emergency, creation of new weapons of training archers and catapults. The use of calvary would be a priority, ensuring the easy travel for all forces within flatland. He suggest using this in a future DKD that will be submitted ASAP!

He also dissuades working on the invasion of Shi Xie at the current moment, as the military is underdeveloped and requires refinement in its measures.

Glory to Wu!

Update: Military Reforms

HOORAY!!!

Military reforms have been at an all time high. Wu is now ready to face the belligerents. We are now self-sufficient and ready to protect our homeland. However, military general Yuan Guan revealed that our plans to invade Shi Xie has been spreading around within various Wu generals. At this point of time, our plan for conscription, and development of strategic bridges, border defence zones, and training of archers, catapults, etc, have to be more comprehensive in our next Kingdom Directive that MUST BE SUBMITTED ASAP.

At this point in time, individual actions do not warrant an actual invasion. Instead, it requires preparatory time which is not the most important matter at hand. Military general Yuan Guan is strongly opposed to any and all attempts of an invasion at this moment, especially with underdeveloped and unspecific military structures, as per the Draft Kingdom Directive 3.

KD 1: Where are your details?

With the first Kingdom Directive passed, citizens are extremely concerned over what the Cabinet is doing.

Firstly, Sun Quan uses his royal decree to declare the 'Imperial Secretariat', as an advisory body, they have reccomended him to deal with the shanyue issue, alongside the aristocracy issue. The lu and shu clans are beginning to be sidelined.

Lei Yan has talked to the peasants, and although this has improved morale, citizens grow restless as they do not see concrete action for the problems growing, the primary one being the Shanyue issue.

Zhuge Jin has endeavored to rally the upper and educated class, but it has only convinced a few due to the lack of help and experts to help further convince them.

The 150 spies have been sent out, and things are improving, some have been convinced on the Emperor Sun Quan and his court are trying to do their best. Members of the Cabinet will need to send out further details to ensure that further KDs can work out more quickly, and to also focus on current actions given no form of propaganda are helping.

Shanyue: An escalation.

The Shanyue tribes have had enough. 

“If the Wu administration will not fight for us, we will.”

An army of 2,000 Shanyue tribe soldiers have been marching towards the Leiyang Commandery, screaming for their freedom, rights, and dignity. In the meantime, they have destroyed buildings, and injured individuals have amounted to 20 people. The situation is escalating. 

The attack formations of the Shanyue army marks certain resemblance to Wu war formations, suggesting leaks of information to the Shanyue tribes.

Pacify the Shanyue tribes,

Before it’s too late.

Ye Holding: Public Statement 2

Ye Holdings has recently been subject to several major sabotage attempts on weapon manufacturing facilities by foreign actors originating from territories under the control of warlord Shi Xie. The Ye Holdings seeks public support to find the perpetrators of such injustice and punish them. One of such conflicts has been extremely bloody, with assassins and personal soldiers of an unknown Wu official having been killed in front of the porches of the official’s residences.

Up, up, up? it’s an up-rising!

1 June 207 AD 

Due to overwhelming neglect over the rights of the Shanyue people, the Shanyue tribes’ indignance has boiled up to a dangerous level. Furthermore, after hearing reports by a member in council of how the Wu government is supposedly sending troops to trade routes that the Shanyue tribes are trying to take control of, the Shanyue tribes are absolutely distrustful and angered at Wu. Chaos spreads in Leiyang Commandery, where the Non-Han Shanyue tribes launch widespread revolts, and the local administrators are overwhelmed with non-stop shouting, while citizens are disturbed in their sleep and cannot continue their daily activities. Shoutings of “WE WANT FREEDOM” and “MORE LAND TO US” resonate throughout, seemingly referring to the conscription exercises and government-controlled land of Leiyang Commandery. Citizens are not pleased by the unwelcome revolt, and are urging Cabinet members to do something about it. “These people are shouting right outside my door, my baby is wailing and I cannot sleep for a single hour without hearing chants! I can’t even go to the fields without having to cover my ears from the amount of ruckus created!”

Who is doing this?

In the meantime, officials are mysteriously disappearing, and competition in the arms trade is rapidly vanishing. The weapon industry currently runs the risk of being monopolized.

Ye Sun's official statement

The establishment of bases of operations for natural resources is the result of tough negotiations between the Shanyue tribes and Ye Holdings that resulted in a compromise where Ye Holdings would respect Shanyue sacred lands and compensate the Shanyue tribes appropriately.

Jiangdong's Bureaucratic Crisis

1 Jan 207 AD

“The clans rule, not the state!” comes the bitter cry of a scholar in Jianye as Sun Quan’s government begins pushing bold reforms to curb aristocratic influence. The Lu and Zhu families, entrenched in power, have fiercely opposed efforts to reclaim state lands and dismantle their control over bureaucratic appointments. Rumours spread that local officials, loyal to these families, are sabotaging reform efforts. “If these clans are not checked,” warns one minister privately, “Wu’s governance will remain a puppet to their greed.” The battle for Jiangdong’s future has begun, with reforms threatening to upend centuries of aristocratic dominance.

The Empire, Long United, Must Divide; Long Divided, Must Unite

Seventeen years after the fall of Dong Zhuo, China lies in ruin. To the north, the barbaric Mongols and hill tribes eye the ripe fruit of conquest, poised to plunder what little wealth China has left. To the East, angered by rampant corruption, weak harvests, and a poor economy, civilians protested Liu Biao’s weak rule, and rebel groups grew exponentially, whilst Liu Bei struggled to convince Zhuge Liang to join him. To the West, the Shanyue tribes continue to be a thorn in the Wu Kingdom’s side - every trade route disrupted and civilians massacred lowers the masses’ confidence in Sun Quan to rule. 

In the midst of the chaos, atop marred, bloody red cliffs of corpses, the three kingdoms of China, bent on the unification of this godly land (on their own terms, of course), each prepares for the greatest battle the Heavens would ever give upon - a battle which could make or break China. As the Lords and Ministers of each Kingdom gather to ponder their next course of action (even as their Kingdom crumbles before their very eyes), every moment spent in vain marks another step closer towards the annihilation of their kingdom. 

Emperors, Generals, and Ministers of the Three Kingdoms, the Heavens welcome you.
