【Final Quest (3)

Congratulations on making your empire the strongest hegemon in East Asia, known from faraway Ireland to Sakhalin, and the final mission is here.

Mission: Make your country a powerful empire on which the sun never sets, with territories in Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, both nominal and practical.

Reward: Unknown.

Note: This is an optional task, and the host can freely choose whether to accept the task, and whether or not to accept the task will not be affected. 】

"Optional mission?"

Su Yan, who was far away in the Jiangning Imperial City, looked at the system interface leaning out in front of him and muttered to himself.

The Russian beauty beside him widened her eyes curiously, looking at Su Yan who was muttering to herself, not knowing why he suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Sophia was a nobleman in Tsarist Russia, and when the Tsar was about to send beautiful women to the East to show his friendship with the Xia Kingdom, her father did not hesitate to send his daughter to the Far East in order to please the Tsar, so Sophia came to the capital of the Far Eastern Empire and became a concubine of the Chinese emperor.

As Su Yan guessed, she did shoulder the task entrusted by the Tsar, and the Tsar hoped to be able to charm the Emperor in bed through beautiful diplomacy, so that the Emperor could be biased towards Tsarist Russia from now on - but her task was not as smooth as imagined, the Emperor did not fall for this exotic woman, but regarded her as an ordinary concubine in the palace, who came and went as soon as she was summoned.

Su Yan ignored the curious gaze of the woman next to him, he thought about it for a while, and decided to take this task, although the reward of the ultimate task 3 is unknown, and there is no impact if he does not accept it, but Su Yan has now lived for more than thirty years and has no other pursuits.

This system task is not so much to get that reward, but to set a small goal for Su Yan to see what this unknown reward can be.

The system requires that all five continents have territories, whether nominally or in actual control, the current Xia Dynasty has completed two of these requirements, most of Asia is within the Xia Dynasty's sphere of influence, and Oceania is only officially established by the Xia Dynasty, and the rest of Europe, Africa and the Americas, there are only difficulties in the Americas.

Europe, as long as Su Yan is willing, can cross the Ural line at any time and invade the European mainland of Tsarist Russia, Africa is a little far away, but it can also be done by sending ocean-going sailors to explore and establish a stronghold on the coast.

Only the Americas were somewhat difficult, and the closest route from Asia to the Americas was the Bering Strait, but it was cold all year round, and the ocean-going fleet had to venture west along the coastline of Northeast Asia to reach Alaska in the future.

This is not in a hurry, Su Yan is only 36 years old now, and he has at least thirty years of life, and he can do a lot of things in thirty years, so he is not in a hurry.

……

At the court meeting the next day, the emperor announced the good news of the capture of Luo, and discussed with the important ministers how to govern the whole territory of Wusizang at the court meeting.

The courtiers were amazed at the efficiency of the emperor's intelligence, but they enthusiastically participated in the discussion, and many of them proposed to refer to the governance policies of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, so that Wu Sizang would submit to the central court in a semi-independent state, but the emperor sternly vetoed it. ….

It was the head of the cabinet who saw the emperor's intentions, and he proposed to set up a capital in Uszang, which would be governed by officials directly dispatched by the central government, and maintain a large garrison for a long time to prevent certain forces from plotting against the imperial court.

For Xu He's proposal, Su Yan still did not agree, he finally announced the direct establishment of a political envoy in Uszang, sent officials to govern, transferred the sixth town to Anxi, and the third town was stationed in Uszang for a long time to maintain the rule of the imperial court, and at the same time appointed Liu Shixun as the governor of Uszang, and ordered him to make every effort to crack down on and weaken the local Tibetan aristocracy, and abolish the local people's martyrdom and customs, and carry out comprehensive sinicization.

All this is naturally based on the high degree of loyalty given by the Tibetan system, if there is no Tibetan to maintain a high degree of loyalty, he may not dare to implement such a radical policy, the local aristocratic power is deep-rooted, and has a very high influence, as long as the nobles provoke agitation, the local people are likely to rise up, drag the Xia army into the quagmire of war.

Fortunately, Tibetans maintained a high degree of loyalty to the imperial court

Sincerely, even if the nobles wanted to rebel under the full force of the government's attack and weakening, they could only cause small-scale unrest, which could be quickly suppressed by the local garrison.

With the decree of the imperial court, the war and turmoil that had lasted for many years in the territory of Uszang finally subsided, and the people were able to breathe, and they would live as ordinary people living in the Urzangbo Embassy of Bactria from now on.

……

The emperor did not forget the Kazakh Khanate entrenched in the east of the Ural line, according to the Xia Russian "Jiangning Treaty", the east of the Ural River was recognized by the Xia Dynasty sphere of influence by Tsarist Russia, and the Kazakh Khanate has always been deeply influenced by Tsarist Russia, only Da Yuzi took the initiative to contact the imperial court, but the latter could not represent the entire Kazakh Khanate at all.

Therefore, two months after the establishment of the Uzzangbo Envoy Department, with the emperor's edict, as the emperor's most loyal lackey, Galdan and his Dzungar army were ordered to march west and wage war against the Kazakh Khanate.

The news of the outbreak of the war quickly spread to the three Yuz of the Kazakh Khanate, and the Great Yuz stood up as soon as they learned the news and said that they were on the side of the Xia Dynasty, cooperating with the army of the Dzungar Department to advance westward, providing guidance and supplies.

The other two Yuzi were deeply disgusted by the defection of the big Yuz, and in this situation, the middle and small Yuz were forced to abandon their old suspicions and join forces against the invaders from the east.

At the same time, located in the westernmost part, and Tsarist Russia only across the Ural River, Xiao Yuzi began to secretly send envoys to contact the Russian army, hoping to get the assistance of the Russian army, Xiao Yuz Khan explained to Tsarist Russia the disadvantages of the Kazakh Khanate annexed by the Xia Dynasty, he believed that the appetite of the Xia people is not only the Kazakh Khanate, once the Xia army hits the Ural River, it is very likely to tear up the peace treaty and continue to advance westward.

Xiaoyuz Khan's remarks are undoubtedly naked Xia Dynasty ***, but this does poke at the weakness of Tsar Alexei I, since the signing of the Jiangning Treaty, he has been worried day and night that the Xia army will tear up the treaty and cross the Ural Line, and now although Xiaoyuz Khan's words are obviously deliberately provocative, the worried Tsar still decided to help.

However, he did not directly send Russian troops to the war, but promised the Kazakh envoys that he would send a batch of Russian-made ordnance as assistance, so as to increase the firepower of the Kazakh army, so that they could barely compete with the firearms of the Xia army.

However, it is a pity that the Tsar's reception of the Kazakh envoys was discovered by the Xia Dynasty's mission in Moscow, who later learned of the Xia army's westward expedition and reported it to China through special channels.

Tears.
