Tuien Feudal Weakening Strategy

• Territories become progressively smaller with each generation
• No direct confrontation or forced confiscation needed
• Formerly powerful states fragment into minor holdings

Expected Outcomes

• Feudal lords grateful for imperial "benevolence"
• Large territories systematically divided and weakened
• Central authority strengthened without military action
• Prevents coordinated rebellion from powerful regional lords

Verification

• Confirm the decree has been framed as imperial benevolence (推恩) rather than punitive confiscation
• Validate that territory divisions are occurring among all sons, not just the primary heir
• Check that formerly large territories are measurably smaller after each generational division
