It seems like Hsi-shan and Jinfu would get along pretty well minus the underhand dealing Jinfu does XD

Indeed, all though Hsi-shan uses attempts to gain Western support and technology because it would help enforce his rule and keep his province out of conflict. Jinfu seems to believe in Western ideals and also wants a Western trained army. The difference between us being that I aim to use Western Technology to further my own goals, rather then actively what's the word embracing it. If that makes sense?

But yes, we seem to be similair indeed. To bad my province wasn't closer to yours so I would have a nice land corridor for some supplies. :P

Side note: Finding population censuses are a bitch.
