This is my take on a VSF Chinese army
The leader of the army is General Chunjing Zui’e. Under a different name, he was a eunuch Mandarin in the imperial palace for many years. But he was kicked out of office after it was discovered that he had a daughter by one of the imperial princesses. He was due to be executed for his crime but the head of a secret Chinese intelligence agency intervened and a petty criminal was executed in his place. A man who could hide a secret like that for so many years was too important an asset to waste. He has since risen to the top of the intelligence agency.
General Chunjing Zui’e has raised a secret army, clandestinely supported by the Imperial Chinese government and the mysterious agency. Using his own cunning intellect and supported by the greatest Chinese minds he has put together a small secret force containing some technological marvels.
The force is still in its infancy stage and is slowly but surely procuring modern weaponry. But the majority of the army is still armed with tradition Chinese weaponry. Plans are afoot to secure technology and modern weapons.
Zui’e has been joined by his daughter who is in charge of the clandestine, intelligence gathering component of the force.
The purpose of this army is to help china become the world (Solar System) superpower it should be.
His first objective is to remove the world’s colonial powers from his native land.
As for getting Chinese on to Mars – British opinion
Due to the recent years of problems with up risings in China, large numbers of Chinese coolies have been transported to the off world colonies. These form the vast majority of the menial labour forces in places like Fort Collingswood. The Chinese have built their own part of town. Law and order with in the china town area is non-existent, as they are left to themselves. The exact number of Chinese on the planet is unknown due to the high mortality rate amongst the labour parties sent out of town. But numbers are kept up by large fresh deliveries by every Aether ship that arrives in the port. It is believe that a lot of the coolies are just lost in the strange country or have been taken by local predators when they leave the town.
As for getting Chinese on to Mars/Venus – Chinese opinion
Not having their own Aether ships the secret army of General Zui’e has been smuggling men to both Mars and Venus, hidden amongst the coolies being transported by the Imperial powers. Once on these planets the Generals men have then got to work setting up a secret clandestine network, ready for the day when the Chinese forces are ready to take their rightful place in the solar system. On both planets they have been escaping from the labour forces to set up secret bases out with the Imperial powers towns. They have also been smuggling weapons and equipment to the planets with help from some unscrupulous white men.
