The Geming War, also known as the Jexit Wars, was a military conflict which raged in Jingdao for a period of almost 100 ASC years. The anarchy which had broken out after the disappearance of the Danya Emperor and all His children during the Battle of the Batavian Highlands in 6171 ASC, led to the collapse of the central authorities. With no clear heir, the Imperial Assembly and Seanad started infighting over the power vacuum. This led to bribery of politicians, increasing the distrust of the common man in the political elite. It also became very clear that the military units which were left, were unwilling to cooperate with the several government offices, or chose certain sides, which led to even more political confusion. The Jexit Kingdom was proclaimed in a half-hearted attempt to gather both monarchists as republicans behind its cause. This attempt failed miserably, leading to further fragmentation of power.
What had started as a an attempt of the Emperor to squeal the rise of mutated slaves, ended in a defeat of the Armed Forces (or at least a pyrrhic victory) with the loss of the Heavenly Light. While the mutated slave-problem became a minot issue and no longer threatened to destroy the country, the consequences of the Battle of the Batavian Highlands were high.
Foreign consequences
On the sort term, the Geming War (meaning Revolutionary War) was the direct cause of the loss of the Euran War. With both the Army and Navy isolated from the Motherland, dwindling supplies and a lack of both military and political orders, the fighting came to a halt. Thousands surrendered, while many more charged onto the enemy with whatever munition that was left. They met a deadly fate, but still one more honourable and less cruel than the fate of the survivors, whom were sent into the desert by the Constancian troops to die from hunger and thirst.
Causes of the War
Battle of the Batavian Highlands
Restoration of the Dynasty
Northern Campaign
Southern Campaign
Outcome
With the Sheng Emperor firmly on the Heavenly Eagle Throne, the Sheng Restoration was widely launched and seen as a renewal of the ancient Jingdaoese values. History had once more shown that without a Dynasty, blessed by the Gods Themselves, the Jingdaoese Empire was doomed to fail and collapse into a time of unprecedented chaos and despair. It marked the official end of the Minshu Period, which was criticised as a too liberal and democratic period. It also saw an increased isolation: with the nation weakened, courtiers recognised that a conflict with the ever more aggressive Shirerithians would at this time result in an uphill and costly battle that the Jingdaoese could not win. Investments were made in developing defences and expansion of the population growth, which would make Jingdao the player it once used to be on the international stage.
