20k gold doesn't seem nearly enough. 1000 CS units will cost around 100 gold per week. You probably want about 20k CS to deal with all these large hordes in the region. So you'd have about 10 weeks' worth of salaries. But that doesn't consider unit replacement costs from battle losses. Nor repairs. Nor does it consider the infrastructure needed. I expect a city to take more than 10 weeks to recover, too.

Not sure what you mean about not abandoning your current regions, but the sheer distance would make it impossible to hold both for any meaningful amount of time. Whatever part that doesn't have the capital will revolt rapidly. And while it does give secure funding, it also means splitting your effectives. If you need nobles staying back at home, you'd be left with very few to work with abroad.

In my eyes, to work, it'd need to be an all-in move with all of your nobles AND solid sponsoring from foreign realms.
