Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

With the intervention of the Daqian Zhenguo army, the situation in Xiluo was no longer in doubt.

The final, meticulously planned attack by the Prun people ultimately failed to achieve their intended purpose.

The result was as expected—facing an army more than ten times their size, the last armed force of the Pulun people held out for only nine and a half hours.

Just as the Supreme Command of the Great Qian Dynasty had predicted, the people of Pulun ultimately could not hold out for more than ten hours!

After Prun's armed forces were completely wiped out, the entire punitive expeditionary force collapsed.

The Western Luo Continent no longer possesses any resources to contend with the Great Qian Zhenguo Army......................

A month later.

The Great Qian government officially announced its complete takeover of the Western Luo Continent and reorganized the continent into five Western Luo Protectorates.

That is: the Eastern Luo Protectorate, the Western Luo Protectorate, the Southern Luo Protectorate, the Northern Luo Protectorate, and the Central Luo Protectorate.

The takeover of the Western Luo Continent by the Daqian Zhenguo Army was essentially decided in a single battle.

Just as the Supreme Command of the Great Qian Dynasty had predicted, taking over Xiluo was a natural process and posed no difficulty whatsoever for the Great Qian Zhenguo Army.

The real trouble is the post-war reconstruction of the Western Continent.

After being thoroughly harassed by the Western Luo people—with weapons of mass destruction and biological agents used to their advantage—it was time for the Daqian Zhenguo army to "enter the field" and reap the benefits.

Less than five percent of the entire Western Luo Continent's population survived!

Ninety-six percent of the cities were destroyed.

In addition, this devastating war in Xiluo left behind a considerable number of minefields and contaminated areas on the Xiluo continent.

These areas will certainly no longer be suitable for human habitation until the cleanup and purification work is completed.

What's worse is that many polluted areas simply cannot be purified and reduced in a short period of time.

And in those heavily affected areas, where duds and unexploded cluster munitions are scattered everywhere, clearing the mines alone is a huge and troublesome undertaking.

However, the Daqian Council's response to these areas was also very simple and crude.

These areas will be marked as restricted areas and will not be included in the reconstruction plan for the time being.

The minefields will be cleared slowly, and the polluted areas will be cleaned up gradually; it's not something that needs to be rushed.

With the announcement that the Western Luo Continent had been officially incorporated into the Daqian Dynasty and the related reconstruction plan had been launched.

The matter of Shen Moshen officially declaring himself emperor has also been formally confirmed.

Three days after the establishment of the five protectorates of the Western Luo Continent.

In accordance with the times and the expectations of civil and military officials and the people, Shen Moshen officially held a coronation ceremony in the capital that can be described as the most unprecedented in history.

However, at Shen Moshen's request, the formalities of the transition between the old and new emperors and the so-called three refusals and three concessions were all waived.

In Shen Moshen's words, he had earned his throne through his own efforts and did not need anyone's permission to relinquish it!

It was only natural and inevitable for him to become emperor!

Shen Moshen's coronation ceremony was unprecedented in its grandeur.

The number of troops participating in the coronation parade alone reached 300 million!

The sheer number of heavy weapons on display, including aircraft and tanks, was dazzling...

On this day of universal celebration, the Great Qian Empire welcomes its most deserving and greatest emperor in history—the unifying emperor who single-handedly saved the crumbling empire and led the Great Qian to a world-class victory!

The name of the Great Qian Dynasty was retained.

Shen Moshen believed that there was no need to change the name of the Great Qian Empire, as everyone had long been used to calling it that for thousands of years.

The reign title was officially changed to Wutong, and Shen Moshen became the Wutong Emperor of the Great Qian Empire!

-------------------------------------

After successfully completing two major tasks—taking over the Western Luo Continent and Shen Moshen's ascension to the throne—[the text abruptly ends here, likely due to an incomplete sentence or a formatting error].

While the Daqian Council was fully engaged in the post-war reconstruction of the five major protectorates of Xiluo,

While the Daqian Zhenguo Army was carrying out the instructions of the imperial court to allocate relevant security and engineering troops to participate in the post-war reconstruction of the five major protectorates of Xiluo, it was also preparing for another expedition.

It turns out that the era of warring states on the Western Luo Continent has officially become a thing of the past.

The territories that had previously been forcibly designated as overseas colonies by the Western Luo Kingdoms were also taken over by the Daqian side.

The vast majority of these colonies, which had virtually no presence on the continents of Sand Island, Polar Island, and Wozhou Island, accepted the fact that the Qian people had become the new masters of the world.

Furthermore, after seeing the situation of the various protectorates in Qianzhou under the rule of Daqian, they were all very willing to become a part of Daqian.

After all, they knew that the arrival of the Qian people could bring them a better life.

Instead of treating them like human beings, as those previous Western bandits did!

Therefore, the plan of the Great Qian Dynasty to establish overseas protectorates in Shazhou, Jizhou and Wozhou, and to bring all five continents under the rule of the Great Qian Dynasty, was implemented quite smoothly overall.

Over 90% of the original inhabitants of the Sand Continent, Polar Continent, and Wozhou Continent enthusiastically support being incorporated into the Great Qian Dynasty and acquiring Great Qian citizenship.

However, there is still a small group of stubborn individuals who, under the guise of autonomy and freedom, openly declare that they do not recognize the rule of the Great Qian Dynasty.

One of the reasons these stubborn individuals dared to oppose the Great Qian Dynasty was that they believed their location was extremely far from the Great Qian homeland and was a barren, desolate place.

Therefore, they believed that the Daqian side would never mobilize such a large force because of these "small fry".

Anyway, they are far from the emperor's reach, and their area is a poor and desolate place with nothing left but poverty and tyranny.

In their view, the Daqian Zhenguo Army was not even worth a visit in the face of the clamor of this small group of die-hards.

That's really bad; we didn't even have enough money for gas after we arrived...................

There's really no need to take this so seriously.

However, they underestimated the Daqian Zhenguo Army's zero-tolerance policy in upholding the dignity of Daqian.

In addition, there is another reason that many generals of the Daqian Zhenguo Army did not explicitly say – even a fly's leg is still meat, no matter how small!

The game ended before Xiluo even got a chance to shine.

Thankfully, you clueless "newbies" jumped out, otherwise where would we have gone to practice?

Therefore, based on the principle that the majesty and sanctity of the Great Qian Dynasty are inviolable, and based on the principle that those who offend our mighty Qian Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are, we decided to...

The Supreme Command of the Great Qian Dynasty tacitly approved the Great Qian Zhenguo Army's new round of expedition plans.

Since someone's not happy about this, let's fight!

In any case, the Great Qian Empire has no shortage of money right now—it can fight however it wants!

It's the consistent style of the Daqian Zhenguo Army – no need to worry about losses, let alone logistical supply issues.

Go all out! Play as much as you want!

In short—absolutely no mistakes will be made...................

-------------------------------------

Sandbar – the settlement of the Wukan ethnic group.

"General, this arsenal is enough for you to become the new master of Wukan."

"Hahaha................"

"Thanks to Mr. Yarlin's help, otherwise my emerging force would definitely not have been able to make progress so quickly!"

Dizak, the leader of the Wukan armed forces, patted Morse Yarlin on the shoulder warmly, revealing his big mouth with gold teeth: "Mr. Yarlin, as long as we successfully unify the Wukan tribe, this will be your new home!"

“At that time, I will appoint you as the chief advisor of our Wukan tribe.”

“We can handle the fighting; as for how to govern Wukan, we need to hear Mr. Yarlin’s advice.”

"Let's divide the work and cooperate, and from now on, Wukan will be our territory!"

"Come on! Let's raise a glass together and toast to the upcoming victory!" Dizak enthusiastically invited Morse Yarlin and his men to drink heartily.

"Mr. Yarlin, you can rest assured here in Wukan!"

As Dizac tore at the roasted lamb leg on the table with his greasy hands, he patted his chest and assured them, "No matter how powerful the Qian people are, they can't affect us here!"

"Back then, when you Xiluo people were fighting for colonies, you looked down on this place, let alone the Qian people."

"All we have here is desert. To the vast Great Qian Empire, we are like a grain of sand!"

“Mr. Yarlin, you should actually feel fortunate.”

Having already drunk quite a bit and feeling a bit tipsy, Dizac put his greasy hand around Morse Yarlin, who wasn't in much spirits.

"After all, compared to the vast majority of Xiro people, being able to escape is already extremely lucky!"

"The people of Qian Kingdom are truly ruthless in their actions!"

"They say they will absolutely not interfere in your Xiro affairs in any way."

"However, in a very insidious manner, after all the Western Luo countries recalled their personnel abroad to return home to fight during the Western Luo War, they imposed a comprehensive blockade on the Western Luo continent under the pretext of trade security and preventing the spread of the war."

"The Qian Kingdom's move directly turned the Western Luo Continent into a vast, isolated battlefield during the war."

"Someone as incredibly lucky as Mr. Yarlin, who returned to the Western Continent and then successfully escaped back, is absolutely one in a million!"

"I've heard about how tight the blockade of the Western Luo Continent was back then."

"What's even more remarkable is that Mr. Yarlin not only successfully escaped from the Western Continent, but also brought out this batch of weapons along the way."

"With these weapons, we are absolutely confident that we will become the new masters of Wukan within three months!"

"The military instructors I brought will definitely help the general train his troops into the strongest and most professional regular armed force in the entire Wukan tribe."

Morse Yarlin subtly removed Dizak's oily hand: "Once the general has completely unified the Wukan tribe, I will help the general acquire more weapons to build up more armed forces!"

"Furthermore, we will help the general focus on developing the troops' guerrilla warfare capabilities."

Morse Yarlin said with a solemn expression, "Although the chances of the Great Qian Zhenguo Army intervening in the affairs of the Wukan tribe are not very high."

"But it's still best to prepare for it in advance."

"If the shameless Qian people really do invade, we won't be caught off guard."

“Hahaha…” Dizak laughed dismissively, “Mr. Yarlin, it is still very necessary to expand and train more armed forces.”

"However, is it really necessary for us to train in guerrilla tactics specifically to deal with the Daqian Zhenguo Army?"

“Mr. Yarlin—forgive my bluntness, but I think unless the people of Qianguo have lost their minds, why would they bother with a place like our Wukan tribe, a godforsaken place?”

"To be honest—without your support, I wouldn't have planned to stay in such a terrible place any longer!"

"Besides—if the Great Qian Zhenguo Army really comes, is there any point in us resisting?"

"Your Xiluo were so powerful before, but you could only suffer defeats in front of the Daqian Zhenguo Army. The armed forces I have are probably not even a rabble in their eyes."

"What's the point of fighting if we really encounter the Great Qian Zhenguo Army?"

"Why bother with guerrilla tactics...?"

"Surrendering directly might offer a glimmer of hope!"

It's clear that Dizac is quite clear-headed about this issue.

"General, specific matters still need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis."

Morse Yarlin said solemnly, "We do not deny the strength of the Great Qian Zhenguo Army."

"If we were to actually encounter such an opponent, we would indeed have little to fight back on the front lines..."

"However, the general may have overlooked one problem."

"That is—the Tanni Kingdom, which borders the territory of the Wukan tribe, has officially announced that it has responded to the call of the Qian Kingdom and become part of the Qian Kingdom's rule."

Morse Yarlin explained to Dizak in detail: "In other words, the people of Tanni have been upgraded to be the people under the rule of the Great Qian."

"The Daqian Zhenguo Army was known for its ruthless tactics on the battlefield."

"However, no matter how fierce they are, they wouldn't resort to indiscriminate attacks in the settlement of the Tanni people who have just submitted to them!"

"And this gave us an opportunity to deal with the Daqian Zhenguo Army."

"If the Daqian Zhenguo Army really attacks, we can use a strategy of breaking them up into smaller units and turning them into civilians to retreat into the territory of the Tanni people!"

"After all, the people of Qian Kingdom need to consider the issue of public opinion right now."

"If they disregard the safety of the Tani people and take excessive force in the Tani settlement area, causing friendly fire, then it would be tantamount to accidentally injuring their own people!"

"If the Great Qian Zhenguo Army dares to do that, the protectorates of other continents that have just submitted to Great Qian will see the true face of the Great Qian court—they have never truly regarded the people of other continents as their own people!"

"The consequences are there for all to see."

"At that time, the Daqian Zhenguo Army will definitely exercise sufficient restraint and adopt relatively safe tactics to deal with us."

"In that case, the guerrilla tactics we've been focusing on training will come in handy..."
