# r/Europe Ming Split Campaign 9


Lore: China split again. The old emperor still holds his seat in Beijing but almost everyone has declared independence. There are pretenders in the south, the rulers of Zhejiang and Fujian also claim the titles of Emperor of China for themselves, but their power also doesn’t extend far beyond their capital, yet. Meanwhile the northern tribes eye this development with interest, as China has now become a land of opportunity, not just for ambitious Chinese.

## Religion rework
To make the new nations a bit more interesting you can find a bunch of different religions in china, which normally wouldnt be there.


## Trade rework
As we nerved trade nations we changed the chinese trade setup a bit, to make it harder for Malaya to dominate chinese trade.
