Watching as other nations expand into oil land, Manchuria was eager to make its move, however the Senate would not cooperate until finally the funds were successfully allocated. Engineers got to work almost immediately, constructing lackluster barebones rigs and getting to work on an oil pipe flowing to Daozi. In the town of Shiyou Cheng, thousands of settlers and soldiers alike move to settle in as news of work and oil attracts people from all corners of the empire. It's not all sunshine and rainbows though, Manchurian troops are relatively not accustomed to this enviroment, with many getting dehydrated, sick, and heatstroke. Many nomads and natives who find themselves living in Manchurian occupied territory are prohibited from living until they receive Manchurian citizenship and integrate. Allegations are coming out of Manchurian companies sending out goons to kidnap nomads and bring them to Manchurian occupied land. These claims have been denied by all parties, but signs point to a new collaboration government. Attaining Manchurian citizenship often involves enlistment, by 1900, these nomads will all be citizens of the kingdom. The de jure map is shown, de facto territory only includes Shiyou Cheng and a smaller coast. The larger map is the projected acquired lands by the end of next month.
