1st: how exactly "organized" they were? Chinese during First Opium War considered themselves quite well-organized; problem was, that their organization was not comparable with European.2nd: how exactly Xeslean Empire prepared "for decades"? If they started the major Westernization program, like Japanese, they hardly would be invaded at all - not worth troubles.3rd: "stamping hard on invaders" in XIX century would most likely provoke just the opposite; both empires would consider punishing Xesleans to be a matter of national pride.So I strongly recommend to replace "failed invasion" with something smaller. Like a series of inconclusive border conflicts with Britain, which, on one hand, persuaded Xesleans to Westernize, and on the other hand - demonstrated to British, that conquering Xesleans would be way too costly.
