Jin China (Chaos)

Jin China covered the northern half of China, as opposed to southern.

Its history started to diverge from OTL in 1211 / 2908, Yin Metal Sheep (Chinese Calendar) when the Khitan chief Yelü Liuge didn't revolt in, and the general (and IOTL later warlord) Puxian Wannu didn't have to fight him.

1213 (2910, Yin Water Chicken), Jin emperor wasn't killed, continued to reign twenty more years instead.

In 1214/15 (2911, Yang Wood Dog / 2912, Yin Wood Pig), the Jin didn't move their capital to, as they did IOTL due to the Mongol threat. and of course, in 1234 (2931, Yang Wood Horse) the Jurchen / Jin Empire didn't fall.

1235 (2932, Yin Wood Sheep), Wányán Yongjì died and was replaced by.

In 1244 (2941, Yang Wood Dragon), the Jin empire demanded from the to pay them tribute. When the Tangutes (who had suffered under Khan's attacks only a few years ago) declined, the Jin decided to make war, which began 1247 (2944, Yin Fire Sheep). 1256 (2953, Yang Fire Dragon), the Hsi-Hsia were incorporated into Jin China again.

1267 (2964, Yin Fire Rabbit), some under the relatively mighty Khan  harassed Jin China, without being a real danger.

On September 27th 1290, (2987, Yang Metal Tiger), the Earthquake in Chihli (Province Hopeh) happened, 150,000 people were killed. (Even more than IOTL, since the Mongols didn't kill half of North China's population.)

During 1353-59 (3050, Yin Water Snake / 3056, Yin Earth Pig), the swept through North China.

Meanwhile, in the south the kingdom of Hong had replaced the Song. In 1358 (3055, Yang Earth Dog), the Jin empire demandes from the Hong emperor to pay tribute. He gave in, for the moment. But in 1381 (3078, Yin Metal Chicken), stopped paying tribute to the Jin. A new war started. It proved now, however, that Jin China, although it seemed to be strong on the outside, depended too much on mercenaries.

1384 (3081, Yang Wood Rat), the Hong emperor made peace because of unrest in and the southern provinces demanded his undivided attention. Jin China just ceded and. But in 1387 (3084, Yin Fire Rabbit), the War between Hong and Jin started again. In addition, 1390 entered the war on Hong China's side against Jin.

1392 (3089, Yang Water Monkey), the Hong conquered, the Jin empire was destroyed. The surviving Jin leaders were decapitated.
