    The Baozang Fleet

    The Baozang Fleet was a significant policy undertaken by the Prosperous Avatar of the Kang Dynasty. It signified a reversal in the Heavenly Mandate's isolationism, as it sent out a massive treasure fleet to the rest of the world, collecting tribute from nations and leaving unfathomable amounts of riches as thanks. Ultimately, this 'Treasure-Ship Diplomacy' was scrapped after the passing of the Prosperous Avatar, though it did result in many long-term changes for the Kang: including the start of regular diplomatic correspondence (permanent in the case of Frankonia, until the Expulsion) between the Realm of Heaven and other nations in the world.

    The Wrathful Expulsion

    In the backdrop of the Grand Betrayal, Frankonia's longstanding mission to the Kang was imperilled. A number of diplomatic staff were implicated as Templars and executed, though the Enduring Avatar of the Kang Dynasty had had enough, and used the Templar infiltration as the basis for expelling all Frankonian personnel from the Mandate. This was backed by military force, which ended in a month-and-a-half-long siege of the Frankonian legation. In the end, most of the Frankonian civilian and military personnel were saved by a joint evacuation effort consisting of the Septemvirate dynasties Dandale, Garderique, and Merandure, as well as the I Golden Legion.   This event marked the end of the only permanent foreign diplomatic mission to the Heavenly Mandate.
