You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

As the Great Qian Empire's territory continued to expand, Fenglang Cape played an increasingly crucial role, with a large number of expeditionary forces stationed there.

The higher-ups have already given the order to use this port area as a management hub to radiate outwards to the surrounding areas.

Lu Wen relayed the message to the city lord.

"Your Excellency, we will not interfere with your specific management; you only need to cooperate with the temple's arrangements. Of course, you can also choose not to serve as the city lord, and the Great Qian will offer you generous terms..."

"I'm not going to be the city lord anymore. I'm tired, and there's no point in clinging on."

"why?"

"The times are changing so fast and rapidly that I can't keep up. I, who come from here, am not capable of leading Fenglangjiao into a new era. Since I've handed it over to Daqian, I might as well hand it over completely, so I can save myself the trouble."

"In fact, quite a few city lords have chosen to remain in their posts, but we respect your choice."

"Those people are simply out of touch with the times."

We need to take a long-term view.

I was gradually becoming overwhelmed, lacking understanding of the rapidly changing world, and struggling to fight against the clans and the Western Continent. My energy was depleted. I decided to hand it over to the Great Qian Dynasty; the capable should do more. I left.

Moreover, the temple has always offered very good conditions to those who submit, emphasizing appeasement.

All the scandals during his tenure as city lord will be forgiven, but of course, this has its limits. For those who are "not like a ruler" and readily commit massacres, there are examples of those who incite rebellion to devour them alive.

The temple only allows you to choose from those who are deemed capable of cooperating.

A suitable city lord, based on a comprehensive assessment, can continue in office, or, like him, abdicate directly, and the dishonorable things from the past will not come back to haunt him.

tacit agreement.

Daqian expanded very quickly, leaving no time for careful selection, and always emphasized pragmatic management.

Lu Wen nodded: "Okay, since you've decided, let's do it this way."

The two reached a verbal agreement, requiring no further formal documents and thus having little significance. From this day forward, Fenglang Cape will become an important strategic port, sufficient to exert control over the surrounding area.

He left the city lord's office and went to the command post.

Xu Xiuwen and his group of army generals nodded and greeted each other, clearly indicating that a meeting was in progress.

How is everyone doing?

"The contamination has been cut off by the psionicists at headquarters. Now it's the final cleanup phase. The enemy can no longer muster a large-scale decisive battle force."

"That's good news. Now we should consider the counterinsurgency campaign."

"Indeed, this place is rife with bandits."

The original social order in most parts of Southeast Asia was disrupted by the Western Continent Alliance. Coupled with the chaos caused by years of war, more and more bandits, bullies, and vagrants emerged, all of whom were troublemakers. They roamed around the mainland, bringing countless unstable factors, and those were the ones that needed to be addressed.

Without a thorough cleanup, it is impossible to implement rule.

If even the most basic public power like taxation cannot be guaranteed, then the looseness of governance is comparable to that of the Western Continent.

This is such a hassle.

Fortunately, the Daqian Army had also recruited a number of security forces.

Although there were a lot of places to manage, fortunately, things were progressing smoothly, and this level of chaos was not a problem for them.

"According to His Majesty's wishes, the administration of Nanyangzhou will be determined at the Heavenly Dao Festival a few years from now, as a gift from Heaven. There's not much to worry about regarding the cities; the local cities and the colonial cities left behind by the Allied Forces are still reasonably well-equipped..."

"Our priority is to restore order to production and daily life."

"The priests will help us. Fortunately, we built a parish before, so at least we have some basic organization."

"The war isn't over yet, and the Western Continent hasn't been completely evacuated."

"A postwar conference is needed to determine this."

"That's the clerks' business. We just need to continue consolidating our occupation, which will put pressure on the Western Continent."

"Let's do it this way."

The generals carefully planned and deployed a series of subsequent strategies.

.......

For ordinary soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty, it was a rare opportunity to rest for a while. As the situation gradually stabilized, they were finally able to recuperate. At such times, the quartermaster would transport a large amount of food and hold a banquet on Fenglangjiao Beach.

Not only that, there are also activities like volleyball and basketball, so at least we can relax on land.

Otherwise, their navy wouldn't be able to stand being tossed around in the waves every day.

Some even brought their televisions over.

Not long ago, this area was not covered by signal, but with the rapid advancement of infrastructure, we can finally receive a stable signal.

The television broadcast daily news from the Great Qian Dynasty, including but not limited to the launch of a new aircraft carrier, Feng Tianyin's announcement of progress on the ceasefire agreement in Southeast Asia, and the establishment of a new colonial parish by the Great Prophet...

It's far away.

But being able to receive the news immediately at least alleviated some of my homesickness.

They also saw that the war was nearing its end. The brutal and inhumane allied forces had been driven to a small area on the north coast of the continent, and only a few remaining colonies were still supporting the western continent. In fact, the tide had turned, and it was clear from the map.

His military career unexpectedly witnessed a conquest.

It was truly a memorable journey. I never imagined that we would travel thousands of miles to establish the frontier of the empire here, and that it would even be blessed by the heavens to become a new city in the future.

I am truly honored.

While the Daqian soldiers were resting, the allied forces far away on the north coast of Southeast Asia were in dire straits.

The fact that the warp has been cut off from its kin means that they will no longer "cleverly circumvent" it, nor will they spare its life just because of the evil god's infiltration of the Western Continent; they will attack without hesitation.

The evil cult behind the scenes in the Western Continent can certainly guide its followers to continue leaving.

But it would inevitably be exposed to the high priest.

If we expose this, wouldn't it start a world war?

After much deliberation, the only option left was to make things difficult for the common soldiers. These soldiers, who had already been brutally beaten by the Daqian navy and air force and forced to retreat to the north shore, encountered the clansmen and had no choice but to fight them, which naturally increased their losses.

They encountered this monstrous army during a vulnerable time, and their chances of survival were slim, resulting in heavy casualties.

"Intercept with artillery fire."

Having lost most of their equipment, the Allied forces had no choice but to use artillery fire to intercept the enemy, which at least slowed down the enemy's offensive a little.

The clan was actually insane and scattered, because all the demons that could command it had been killed.

call!

Finally, the roar of engines could be heard in the sky.

Fighter squadrons from the western continent flew thousands of miles to provide support, using their maximum combat radius to continuously reap the monsters' blood and flesh, leaving them mangled and torn apart.

"We're saved, I can go home... It was a Pyrrhic victory."

Moreover, this only applies to those who win over their own clan.

The overall situation remains the same: the allied forces were soundly defeated by the Daqian army and had only reached this northern shore when they had to consider a full retreat to the Western Continent.

This also means that the coalition's strength has been further reduced.

"In any case, after this loss, our bigwigs should consider a ceasefire."

【hint】

[In the 159th year of enlightenment, the Great Qian leader "Feng Tianyin" is pushing forward the agenda of the "Southeast Asia Ceasefire Agreement"]

[Currently, the region is experiencing stable price increases, and its political influence is growing.]

After Xia He briefly fast-forwarded through time in the Terra world, she received new information. Sure enough, things were under the control of the little android. The ceasefire agreement was already being pushed forward, and the Western Continent Alliance had basically withdrawn from the colony.

Everything came under the control of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The remaining large areas also turned to the banner of the Great Qian Dynasty, thanks in large part to the influence created by the Heavenly Dao Sect's years of propaganda.

The monarchs of various small countries and the lords of city-states all sided with Feng Tianyin.

They believed in the temple's long-standing integrity.

Reputation.

A person cannot stand without integrity. The consistent stability of the policies of the Great Qian Dynasty has dispelled their doubts. In this turbulent era, it is better to choose a reliable emperor, namely Feng Tianyin, who is believed to be the representative of Heaven's will.

Xiahe has switched to a religious sphere and is now completely under the control of the Heavenly Dao Sect; the same applies to its other political and cultural spheres.

It's already considered an area under actual control.

Even the game mechanics of Civilization Evolution recognize conquest.

On the surface, Feng Tianyin's progress was slow, but in reality, she gradually brought a region under control by slowly boiling it like a frog in water. Once a region chose the Great Qian Dynasty, it became completely devoted to it, eliminating any lack of control. Therefore, she quickly gained control.

Even in parishes on other planets, she has been missionary work in those areas that are difficult to control.

First, cultivate deeply.

Ensure that the influence of religion alone surpasses other political, cultural, and other evaluation indicators, and then send a fleet to take over, guaranteeing a smooth transition.

After all, the High Priest's reputation in the Warp is no less than his reputation in Terra.

Of course, whether it's good or bad is another matter.

"Wait a minute, why is it converting even in non-combat zones?"

When Xia He switched between different perspectives on the map, she discovered that Oceania and the Arctic were also rapidly surrendering, and the process was progressing. She estimated that in a few years, they would reach a threshold, essentially becoming a part of the peaceful evolution.

They are like Australia and Antarctica in the Terra world, except that Terra has even enhanced its area and geographical advantages.

For example, the situation that "a large ice sheet in Antarctica cannot be developed" does not exist.

Both of these continents are usable.

Furthermore, each of them possesses a powerful, state-level regime. Although often forgotten amidst the world's numerous wars, they have consistently fought against the alien races, demonstrating considerable military strength and a long-standing tradition. Of course, they are indeed not particularly enthusiastic about the overall situation in Terra.

NPCo

If you ask them to fight, they often don't stand a chance, but when it comes to building a world market and participating in global public issues, they are willing to participate, and they basically align themselves with the position of the Great Qian Empire.

"The conversion of the loading bar is probably because the infiltration has been going on for too long."

Switching to a more micro-level perspective makes it immediately clear, because Xia He sees that many of the companies, technical personnel, and intelligence agents are actually people from Da Qian.

It wasn't even something Feng Tianyin specifically initiated or actively did; all that could be found were records of missionary work.
