Okie The challenge that I set up for you as you were having problems ( my invasion of Shanghai ) has been sitting in the Challenges Section of Sengoku Jidai for 4 days. You only have 3 days before it surrenders to the Ming.
Congratulations on a fine defense Emperor, and taking Shanghai fortress by your sheer presence. Again, we bow in awe of your majesty.

Can the Ming Emperor invade Korea from Shenyang ?
If so "Invade !"
Sorry Brian, that's a hard no. A Ming invasion will bring down the full might of that nation and their allies on you!
At the moment it's just a disgruntled, disloyal general, some bored Korean minor nobles, their retinues, and a myriad of assorted pirates and fortune hunters.

Ming are indeed merciless against the Manchu.
Afterthought: I think the mass of artillery unbalances the game and should be restricted in future engagements.

Sichuan Province has been recaptured by Kong Youde, defeating the mighty Chengzong 35 -66.
Two points to make about the battle.
Firstly I would like to claim this as a great victory for the Qing but unfortunately it was a Southern Rebel army I was leading so that isn't true.
Secondly, I would like to claim this was a tactical masterstroke but that isn't true either. In the deployment phase I clicked next turn with half my army deployed (there were a lot of units!) and carried on regardless. The Ming had there usual host of artillery so it was advance or be shot to pieces. Wave after wave of rebels overwhelmed the enemy left and centre making the result on my left irrelevant (which was good because we lost there).
A well played game by my opponent who seemed to understand what was going on better than I did.
The 18,900 strong Ming Artillery Wall of Shenyang Province was swamped by the 25,000 strong Joseon Tidal Wave and swept away..............
Joseon 45%, Ming 60%
The Emperor's Province of Shenyang is no more.
Clearly, the emperor is truly the Great Shun (大舜) and the Shun dynasty has again consolidated it's position in history...congratulations to Brian and commiserations to the Manchu.
