You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Because factors such as recoil, mobility, and cost-effectiveness need to be considered, using a railway gun is actually illogical.

But the Great Qian Empire is not short of money and can afford to try. Why not create a great treasure?

"strong enough."

Xu Xiuwen clicked his tongue in amazement at the enormous object.

He gained more confidence and continued to direct the troops in logistical transport. He knew that much more military supplies had arrived than just this much; they would all be dropped onto the enemy's positions.

However, he soon received an uninvited guest.

A fully armed train carriage slowly came to a stop, and a group of elite warriors from the spiritual academy stepped out, accompanied by several priests.

The crowd gathered around them, accompanied by a guard of honor composed of military police.

"...No way?"

Everyone felt the extraordinary atmosphere, especially the spiritual energy fluctuations, which everyone would find familiar, because every person in the Great Qian Dynasty had experienced them more than once in their lifetime.

A girl dressed in a ceremonial robe stepped out of the carriage door, her bright purple eyes scanning her surroundings.

"Excuse me for disturbing you. It seems you are all well-prepared."

"salute! "

Xu Xiuwen gave the order loudly and stood ramrod straight, and all the Daqian soldiers present saluted in unison.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to come in person."

"After all, this is a war that even Heaven values. It's at a critical juncture, so it's worth my trip. I can also take this opportunity to get used to modern warfare."

You can't collect enough data if you don't experience it firsthand.

First-hand experience is very important.

Feng Tianyin has a warlike desire in her bones. She hasn't been able to stretch her muscles for too long and missed the great wars of the entire Age of Exploration. Now she can't just ignore the wars of the Industrial Age. Her hands are itching to fight.

After much thought, she decided to come along to provide support and boost the morale of the troops.

"Praise be to the High Priest! Your protection will make us invincible. May the empire prosper forever."

Everyone looked excited and full of fighting spirit.

It has been a long time since His Majesty last personally participated in a war and led an expedition. It's almost time to be included in a thick history book. Now that they have the honor of witnessing it, how can they not be excited?

Weeks later.

Feng Tianyin and the main force of the expeditionary army are at the city gates, their target is right in front of them.

As expected, the entire governor's city became impregnable under Lister's meticulous construction, with solid fortifications poured in layers upon layers.

He planned to spend a whole year on it.

The Great Qian Empire has no intention of falling into the enemy's trap; the longer it drags on, the more trouble it may cause, and it cannot allow the war to continue.

boom!

The railway cannon roared for the first time in history.

The enormous shells pierced the bunker from a high-angle parabola, prying open the vulnerable part of the top with a loud thud, causing many soldiers inside to die from internal bleeding due to the shock.

I never imagined there would be such a terrifying weapon in the world.

There is more than one railway gun. As a weapon specifically designed for fortresses in this era, its advantage lies in its penetration capability. The bullets are also made of ultra-high-quality materials, which can easily penetrate the defense line and refuse to engage in a war of attrition.

One of the reasons Feng Tianyin personally came was also because of the arduous task at hand; the war had already lasted long enough, and she didn't want any unnecessary complications.

She came to witness destruction.

The Daqian army possessed ample firepower and was simultaneously attacking the fortresses in coordination with its infantry.

Under Xu Xiuwen's meticulous command, trenches and defensive lines were advanced one by one, no more and no less, to ensure the capture and not give the enemy a chance to repeatedly harass the enemy.

Even though Lister made several attempts to retake the position through night raids, they were all repelled.

They're not the only ones who can defend.

In terms of troop quality, Daqian is far superior. Even a fearless raid cannot shake them. Once they occupy a high ground, a fortress, or a trench, they will take it all and you can forget about making us give it back.

Both sides witnessed each other's tenacity in their respective offensive and defensive battles.

It also includes conflicts under special conditions such as tunnel warfare, cavalry warfare, and street fighting, and even battles between psionicists.

Unfortunately, they are overwhelmingly superior in terms of psionic abilities.

There was no need for Feng Tianyin to take action, nor for her group of guards; the psionicists deployed by the expeditionary force alone were enough to wipe out the enemy, crushing them completely.

In her eyes, it was less of a war and more of an efficient demolition operation...

half a month later.

A total of 30 Daqian soldiers witnessed the fortress being dismantled bit by bit.

Meanwhile, another 30 troops scattered around the battlefield also took control of towns and villages one by one. Along the way, they also captured the remnants of the army who were trying to escape by joining the supporting fleet. The officers among them became the last straw that broke the camel's back, because they led the way in surrendering.

As a result, the colony quickly fell to the enemy.

Half of the main force of the Daqian Expeditionary Army besieged the Governor's City here, while the other side had already completed the control of the entire region.

In the end, Feng Tianyin witnessed the entire fortress being reduced to ashes.

"No need to bombard anymore. Only the old, weak, sick, and disabled remain inside. Go and take them over."

If she hadn't reminded them, the Daqian army could have kept bombing as long as no one surrendered, until the bunker was completely destroyed.

The answer is revealed.

They held out until the fortress was completely destroyed.

Xu Xiuwen sighed, "A respectable opponent. I dare say these men are the elite of the Allied forces. They managed to hold out this long. Those officers who wanted to escape were not worthy of them."

"You should clean up the mess as soon as possible. Once it's over, all that's left is a war of words at the negotiating table."

"But those incompetent fools gained nothing on the battlefield, how can they talk to you about that?"

"That's right, so it will be very efficient."

The final battle is over.

According to Feng Tianyin's deductive standards, this is already considered garbage time and is meaningless.

As things unfolded, it did not exceed her expectations. A large number of small cities, each fighting its own battles, were still scattered throughout the vast colonies, and some even had their own autonomous forces. It was impossible to hand over control directly; they would have to be wiped out one by one, which would take at least a year.

However, the enemy's organized regular army had already collapsed.

If maritime transport insurance were still in effect, it would indeed be too early to judge the outcome, but the Great Qian Navy won earlier and more decisively.

She received a series of good news:

The enemy fleets that attempted to provide support were defeated one by one and became garbage on the seabed.

Furthermore, the player's permission information also confirms this, avoiding the situation of "base camp battle report".

The outcome is decided.

Feng Tianyin performed a blessing ceremony on the spot in the city above the ruins, which naturally triggered Xia He's "pre-made special effects" to play, but it was enough to make the entire army boil over.

Having been on a long expedition, they were filled with homesickness, but upon seeing the golden auspicious clouds, their anxiety immediately subsided.

Moreover, the high priest was there to fight alongside them.

The land watched over by Heaven is one's hometown.

Although they were thousands of miles from home, for a civilization bound to the laws of nature, it seemed to alleviate some of their melancholy and make them feel much more at ease.

The soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty cheered and jumped for joy. Those who were still alive hugged and cheered with each other, witnessing Feng Tianyin bidding farewell to the auspicious clouds on the altar, symbolizing that this land was officially incorporated into the blessings of the Heavenly Dao.

We won.

"Gentlemen, it is you who brought about this hard-won victory. History will remember you and commemorate the war of expansion into the New World."

The high priest's loud voice reached everyone's ears.

The conquest of the New World was coming to an end.

Overjoyed, Feng Tianyin instructed Xu Xiuwen: "Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, especially destroying those fortresses that are still putting up a stubborn resistance. Headquarters won't rush you; just gradually incorporate them into your forces."

"As ordered."

"Remember, the key is not how many enemies we annihilate, but what I need is real control."

She certainly didn't want guerrilla groups to spawn during the Heavenly Ritual.

According to the game mechanics of "Civilization Evolution", if the area is not well controlled, wild monster units such as rebels and barbarians will continue to appear, which is quite embarrassing.

I remember the creator calling it "Lindenwan" and expressing his strong dislike for it.

Feng Tianyin, who was concerned about the affairs of Heaven, would not allow any unforeseen complications and had to be meticulous in every aspect.

He himself would oversee things in the New World.

...........

News of the victory spread rapidly throughout the world in a flurry of newspaper reports, and the decisive battle at Governor's City made people realize the changing of the guard in the New World.

No, it should be said that no force had ever truly controlled it before, and now it has finally found its master.

The Great Qian Empire was plunged into a frenzy of celebration.

In times of victory in war, everyone receives tangible benefits. Previously, these were spoils of war; in today's capitalist world, the dividends are more direct: stocks. Those who invested heavily before the war made a fortune.

win numb

Investing everything back then was the right decision; all the upstream and downstream companies related to the New World Development Company made a fortune. Even without directly buying stocks, they could enjoy the purchasing power brought by the spillover of consumer spending, and the factories worked overtime to generate profits, naturally resulting in higher bonuses.

The already rapidly developing inland waterway area has received another boost.

The temple headquarters also received a lot of work.

Jiang Bai stared blankly at the pile of documents on the table, muttering, "Are they all construction projects for the New World?"

Her gaze was fixed.

Fang Shu, the good apprentice, nodded, and her colleagues in the engineering department also sighed.

Zhuang Qing continued, "There are also ruins of a lost empire over there, so His Majesty believes that it should be developed more thoroughly to ensure stability. The entire New World will become a growth point for the empire. After completing the northern continent, we will move on to the southern continent; there will be plenty of market opportunities."

"That's good, after all, the local infrastructure construction is almost finished, and I was worried about how to make up for this part of the output value."
