Mataram's Second Golden Age under Xang Jai

October 14, 1642 - Our alliance has expired. I offer anotehr alliance with the three members - Pegu, Ayutthaya, and China. They all agree.

December 9, 1642 - Annam has insulted us and we have a Casus Belli against them for a year.

January 10, 1643 - I order a Chief Justice in Murumbidgee, Manunda, and Macquarie.

I order walls built in Vanin.

February 1, 1643 - We have a new Monarch to rule our glorius nation - Amangkurat I has seceeded his deceased father to the throne. Amangkurat I is good at diplomacy and average at administration and war.

April 11, 1643 - Our Inquisition in Johor has been sucessful and the populace has converted to the one true faith.

July 1, 1643 - The government of China has fallen again.


November 21, 1643 - We have Claimed New Land in Sarawak. The population, manpower and tax value all increase.

January 1, 1644 - I order Chief Justices set up in Sulawesi, Salabanka and Makassar.

I send some colonists to Wairoa, in New Zealand.

January 26, 1644 - China has Li Zechang's Rebellion, and they choose to destroy him. Their revolts increase even more.

April 23, 1644 - I invite Korea into our alliance and they agree.

December 3, 1644 - Manchu has the event The Manchu Advance. They choose to Attack Them Now While They are Weak. As such, Manchu has declared war on China. Korea dishonors aour alliance while Ayutthaya and Pegu accept.

For now, I accept, although I do not want war with Manchu. China has become a heavy stone around my neck. They must be cut loose soon.

July 22, 1645 - Wairoa expands again and I ship more colonists out to sea.

December 23, 1645 - The people of Macquarie have spontaneously built a fortress by themselves.

Decmeber 26, 1645 - Nippon eradicates our army in Kwai and lays siege to the city.

January 2, 1645 - I have no quarrel with either Nippon or Manchu. There is no need for this senseless war. I send a peace envoy to Nippon as the leader of my alliance - peace for 200 ducats.

They reject my offer.

I make the same offer to Manchu, peace for 200 ducats. They accept.

As Manchu was the leader of their alliances, I was able to bnegiotiate peace with them, but only on our behalf, not on the alliance's behalf. Still, we are now at peace again.
