The internecine conflict lasted until 1909 when general [[Pan Zexian]] sidelined his rivals for control and reestablished contact with Qian officials. What followed was a period where Zexian began walking back some of the most extreme autonomist policies of his predecessor and nurtured back ties with the mainland, including welcoming back imperial civil officials. [[Pan Zexian]] was received in [[Mirzak]] and formally appointed as Governor-General in 1911. Zexian did not walk back however the economic and military domination of Xisheng by his army which would continue to function as a state within a state for the next 50 years and neither would his successors let their grip slip of the two highest offices in the province. Zexian maintained the territorial status quo, at times propping up [[Nanzitolclatl|Nanzitolclatl]] as a buffer with [[Kiravia]]n colonial territory; he also established working contacts with the Malan-Zar clan of north [[Varshan]] to help him manage the Ajaw raiders. The outbreak of the [[Second Great War]] brought a degree of economic deprivation as [[Urcea]]n naval forces managed to severe communication between Xisheng and the mainland in the later stages of the war. The [[Army of Conquest]] prepared itself for naval invasion that never came about, spending a great deal of resources on fortifications that served no ultimate purpose. The economic plantation system employed locally rapidly decayed during and immediately after the war due to the temporary severing from its main market, the [[Daxia]]n mainland. This in turn led to an economic decline of the province's economy and a hole in the budget that the top brass was unable to fill without the assistance of the central bank. Using the threat of withholding critical funds and closing of the mainland markets to tighten the screws on the [[Army of Conquest]], coupled with heavy losses during the [[March into the mountains]] campaign, the post-Qian government managed to finally get the army back into a position of subordination by 1962. | The internecine conflict lasted until 1909 when general [[Pan Zexian]] sidelined his rivals for control and reestablished contact with Qian officials.

The early 21st century saw increased international tension and armed conflict all over north and central [[Crona]], a period known as [[The Deluge|the Deluge]]. [[Daxia]] for its part saw the chaotic situation to advance its interests and settle some territorial ambitions. Agreeing during negotiations in [[Touxian]] on a memorandum of understanding with the [[Kiravia|Kiravian Federacy]] in 2010, that secretly divided the territory between Xisheng and [[Mid-Atrassic Crona]]. The agreement formalized the future control of [[Daxia]] over the entirety of the [[Ixa'Taka]]n rump and moreover apportioned western [[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]] and formalized the western half of the capital city of Rigo for Daxian control under the [[Rigo Joint Security Area]]. Within weeks of the agreement, [[Daxia]]n border forces began making incursions under the premise of protecting ethnic [[Chimoche|Chimor]] from being oppressed on the other side of the border. Ixa'Taka's monarch, King Cacama protested these violations before the [[League of Nations]] to no avail. [[Chimoche|Chimor]] irregular forces moved in small numbers into western [[Ixa'Taka]] followed shortly after by a strong mechanized [[Daxia]]n assault that overwhelmed [[Ixa'Taka]]n static defenses in three points and caused a mass rout among their forces. [[Ixa'Taka]]n force regrouped in the capital of Rixis which soon came itself under aerial attack; mass use of glide bombs rendered the capitals defenses into debris within two weeks. As the [[Daxia]]n armored thrust pushed north and south of the capital, the risk of encirclement became a coming certainty. King Cacama communicated with [[Daxia]]n High Command and requested an armistice, which was granted. | |||
