Liu Qiball

Liu Qiball was the second and final puppet state of Jurchen Jinball established in Northern China while the establishment of the Southern Songball . Liu Qiball bordered Jurchen Jinball along the North, Songball South of the Huai river, and Xiaball to the West. Liu Qiball governed over 2 million residents and governed 104 prefectures and counties.https://www.baike.com/wikiid/7293020029375889458
Due to Liu Qiball's lack of progress against Songball and a gradual loss of favour towards Liu Qiball's existence in Jurchen Jinball's court, Liu Qiball was abolished in November 1137.
==History==
===Background===
====Da Chuball====
After the Jingkang Incident of 1127, Jurchen Jinball was incapable of governing the territory it had gained at the expense of Songball. Therefore, a puppet government was created in April 1127 To ease the burden of governance.
However, within a month of Chuball's establishment, its emperor, Zhang Bangchang, abdicated in favour of Songball's emperor, initiating another conflict between Jurchen Jinball and Songball.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Da_Chu
===Establishment===
Despite stiff resistance, Jurchen Jinball succeeded in their second campaign against Songball, reestablishing Jurchen Jinball's control over Northern China.
Liu Qiball was established as another puppet state by Jurchen Jinball in September of 1130, mirroring the events of 1127. However, this time, Jurchen Jinball chose a disillusioned Songball official (Liu Yu (劉豫)) as Liu Qiball's emperor to ensure his loyalty.https://www.baike.com/wikiid/7293020029375889458
Liu Qiball found itself unpopular after attempting to establish itself at Damingball however, so it moved its capital to Dongpingball in 1132 (Dongpingball was renamed to Bianjingball later).
Liu Qiball was viewed as an illegitimate usurper regime by contemporary Songball officials, granting Liu Qiball the alias "Pseudo Qiball". Pseudo-Qi has remained a popular alias for Liu Qiball throughout Chinese historiography.(元)脱脱.《金史·卷七十七·列传第十五·挞懒传》:"初，宋人既诛张邦昌，太宗诏诸将复求如邦昌者立之，或举折可求，挞懒力举刘豫。豫立为帝，号大齐。"
===Government===
Liu Qiball established a father-son relationship between Jurchen Jinball and itself, which Jurchen Jinball permitted, allowing Liu Qiball to govern domestic affairs basically independently. However, Liu Qiball still had to consult Jurchen Jinball for military matters, and often requested the aid of Jurchen Jinball in its campaigns against Songball.
Most of Liu Qiball's institutions and systems of government were directly borrowed from Songball's government, but influences from Tangball and other dynastic periods persisted. Liu Qiball's governance and set of laws were strict and harsh, biased in favour of its military.https://www.baike.com/wikiid/7293020029375889458
As emperor of Liu Qiball, Liu Yu was uninterested in etiquette, and would sometimes grant multiple government positions to the same person. For all of its existence, Liu Qiball was locked into military endeavours against Songball.
===Abolishment===
While Liu Qiball initially scored several victories against Songball, any forays Liu Qiball made into Songball were quickly reversed. Over time, Jurchen Jinball's Emperors grew impatient, believing Liu Yu incompetent and Liu Qiball unnecessary.https://baike.baidu.com/item/伪齐 On the 18th of November, 1137,https://www.baike.com/wikiid/7293020029375889458 Jurchen Jinball's armies seized control of Liu Qiball's capital, Bianjing, and Jurchen Jinball formally abolished its short-lived puppet state.(元)脱脱.《金史·卷七十七·列传第十五·刘豫传》:天会十五年，诏废齐国，降封豫为蜀王。
