Qiu Heng: Difference between revisions

Line 79:

Another area of importance that Qiu Heng sought to address during his terms in office was the rebuilding of the traditional [[Daxia]]n sphere of influence, nations like the newly formed [[Rusana]](a state composed of former [[Tributary system of Imperial Daxia|Qian tributary states)]] and [[Canpei]] had drifted out of their relations of dependence. The [[Rusani Civil War]] had been raging almost since he was first democratically elected and he wanted the disruption to border security and trade to end. He also was unwilling to countenance a victory of the 'Front for the Defense of the Homeland' or FDH, a grouping of conservative and islamist forces who were extremely hostile to [[Daxia]]. The FDH wanted to expel all Daxians and ethnic groups related to them from [[Rusana]], these groups totaled some fifteen percent of the population at the time. Qiu Heng was convinced the FDH's secular opponents, the National Congress for the Defense of the People (NCDP) led by Farrukhzad Khosa, were unable to achieve victory on its own after almost nine years of war. After a series of meetings in November 1962 with Farrukhzad Khosa, an agreement was finalized to 'assist the legitimate government of Rusana in restoring its territorial integrity'. The state propaganda apparatus began driving the narrative that ethnic Daxian's were in grave danger of annihilation and that a short and victorious war was needed to save them. On December of the same year some forty thousand Daxian's entered into [[Rusana]] from the Xiazhai Pass in the far south; this military action would be known as ''the Little Incursion'' in Daxian history.

Boosted by Daxian mechanized forces and modern aviation, the NCDP began a series of successful offensives over the course of two months that pushed the FDH back towards the Mursi river in disarray and then forced them across with terrible losses of men and vehicles. Some 7,000 men from the FDH are thought to have been killed fighting to defend the FDH perimeter on the south bank of the Mursi as its limited transport capacity struggled to ferry as many of the trapped troops to the other side. The FDH lack of modern planes meant that their armored columns were prone to being destroyed by enemy aviation before they could be properly deployed for battle or were blown up piecemeal as sitting ducks. By July 1963 the NCDP had made further advanced north and retaken the capital of [[Tabish]] almost without a fight, the FDH too battered and demoralized to be able to mount an effective defense even with the benefit of fighting on an urban area, which favors the defenders. Only a month later the two sides of the civil war signed a cessation of hostilities that froze the conflict lines, the FDH only controlled a corner of territory in the northwest, some 8% of [[Rusana]] while their rivals controlled the rest of the country. Qiu Heng had maintained his promise to the people and delivered a short and victorious war.

The NCDP began the process of reasserting its control over the destroyed country and rebuilding its political structures, only now heavily in debt to [[Daxia]] politically, militarily and economically; with numerous Daxian bases established in its territory. The [[Rusana Patriotic Alliance]] which is the direct political successor of the NCDP continues to steer [[Rusana]] into its neighbor's embrace, even dependence.
