Chingai v. little information. Shengha came to see me. Shengha (Chingyu - the bigger village) in the last year Shengha have got 4 heads (from Chien) and lost 3 (2 to Chien, 1 to Tang). Year before Shengha got 16 (10 from Chien, 6 from Tang) & lost 1 (to Chien) - year in year out for many years - Shengha is at war with 20 villages - Shengha is fairly big, Chien is even bigger (10 khels). |
