We will start by furthering our efforts for westernization by importing artillery pieces from the western powers, this will aid us in our wars to gain more territory from the Chinese!



China has been plunged into a civil war by the Heavenly Kingdom, now is my time to strike if I want to gain extra lands from their Manchurian Substate!

The war was going terrible, I thought everything was lost but then I remembered that I could take control of the units of my fellow Japanese sub-states since I'm the Shogun :^) and I think I managed to turn it around quite well!

The timing for this war couldn't have been better! While I was in the process of turning around my little mess, the Opium wars started and the British and Portuguese started attacking China too!

We have retaken our mainland colony with the help of the other Japanese Clans :-D!

Commodore Mathew Perry is knocking at our doors and we have no other alternative but submit to the Americans, we can't handle another war right now, my hands are full with China at the moment.





Time to move further on the westernization process, this time we will reform our shipyards, this will allow us to increase the size of our shipyards thus allowing us to have a bigger and better navy and with even more range!





The Chinese are ready to negotiate, this war took a heavy toll... on the other clans HAHAHA not on me, I rebuilt my army while I used theirs to take the land, losers, try to rebel against me now :^)

And our empire grows again!

Another interesting demographic anomaly, the Vietnamese people are emigrating to the home islands, why wouldn't they? but now the small island of Tsushima has over 40% Vietnamese living in it! Its amazing how many people have moved there!

After almost 10 years at war, some reactionary rebels rose up against my rule, intending to push back on our advancements but they are no threat to us, just have to keep the capital safe and everything will work out.

The rebels have been put down and in order to move forward in our westernization efforts, I have decided to advance in our railroad reforms!

Slightly short AAR this time because something came up while I was playing, hopefully the next one will be longer and uninterrupted :-D
