At any rate it's assumed peaceful, since no records exist of Skyrim opposing Tiber after he became Emperor like those that exist for all the other provinces.

Also, by the time TESA: Redguard starts Tiber has already conquered High Rock+Hammerfell and annexed Skyrim, so "opposed on all sides" is an exaggeration likely made for dramatic effect. Skyrim wasn't peacefully annexed, Tiber Septim merely got the army of Skyrim, nothing else. Skyrim didn't join the Empire willingly at all. An army did, but not the province. The High Rock army at Sancre Tor was also beaten, that doesn't mean that High Rock fell to the Empire immediatly afterwards.

Just because he conqeured them doesn't mean that they support him. Also, in the full context, it shows that that was already proven that a few Kingdoms were conqeured. (He had Argonia prior to Hammerfell).

'As the Empire of Tiber Septim sweeps through the kingdoms of Tamriel in a glorious faithful conquest. Septim is opposed on all sides, but never more fiercely than by Hammerfell, the ancestral home of the Redguards.'

Hammerfell was already conqeured at the start of TESA: Redguard, it speaks for all the provinces that Tiber conqeured.
