Editing Peichen Secession Crisis

The '''Peichen Secession Crisis''' (also known as the Peichen War or the Peichen Uprising) was a civil and political conflict from 1896 to 1897 in [[Peichen]] in western [[Laeral]], motivated by racial and religious tensions in the Allied Provinces of Laeral. The conflict was triggered by the [[Minjian]] Conclavist group's attempt to restore the Minjian High Conclave as the governing body of global Minjian. This plan was regarded with suspicion by the Laeralian government, which ultimately decided against restricting the Conclave's reestablishment yet turned a blind eye to terror attacks by anti-Minjian hate groups, such as the Zhenglu Massacre. 

In 1896, Peichen's territorial government, dominated by forces sympathetic to the Conclavists, warned neighboring provinces to curb the flow of anti-Conclave fighters into Peichen. Meanwhile, radical Conclavists plotted and stockpiled arms to secure the secession of Peichen and neighboring territories (far exceeding the present-day boundaries of Peichen province) as the independent State of Jingtu.
