While Mai Ke was busy building the foundation for the Mekong Covenant, Liuhua was pondering another matter during this time.

Zhiludao's return to the Qing Dynasty was imminent, and there were only ten days left, and the process of achieving the goal of the expeditionary force was basically the same as the original plan, and he could return at the end of October or early November.

Two major events decided that the expeditionary force had to go back.

The first is to start the first official battle against the Qing Dynasty, and the date is set for January next year, which is a decision made by the highest level of the Kingdom of Heaven a long time ago, and all preparations are for this time, and it is impossible to change it.

The second is that the Qing army of Liangguang is preparing for the second purge, and the time is next month, and Wu Renxiao has already learned through his intelligence system that the enemy's determination is that no matter how great the expeditionary force is to promote the national prestige, they still want to get rid of this henchman.

What is even more infuriating is that the time for them to launch the purge this time is set on the day of the triumph of the expeditionary force, and they are ready to welcome them openly and secretly attack, so as to catch them all while they are exhausted.

In addition to the preparations for the triumph, the remaining things here must be participated in by military strength, including the victorious results of continuing to consolidate and defend Southeast Asia, and the results of continuing to expand the navy.

In addition, it is possible to withdraw the domestic force.

This part of the force, of course, includes the original expeditionary force, but more of it is the acceptance and reorganization of the armies of various countries, this part of the number of people, whether to bring back, how much, which people to bring back, are all things that need to be determined.

One thing is certain, however, that is, we can't bring them all back! Half a million people will go back, which will attract too much attention. It is estimated that it will soon break with the Manchu Qing center.

All of these need to have a unified arrangement, but fortunately, after a few days of thinking, the six strokes have been decided, so he came to Mai Ke and saw with him whether this plan was appropriate.

It happened that Mai Ke had just finished the Jiulong River project, and when he received the news of Liuhua, he dispelled the idea of taking a break and went directly to Liuhua's station in Yangon, Myanmar.

"Not counting the Navy, we already have a million official troops here. In addition to leaving 500,000 Holy Cities to maintain law and order and self-defense. There are 500,000 more, except for 20,000 of whom must be returned. There are still 480,000 to arrange.

"I've drawn up a plan in the past few days, and I'll discuss it with you to see if it's feasible. ”

From the perspective of overall action, the six-plan has three parts.

The first part is the Navy, which has not yet finished its operations. It continued to be led by Peter, Wenfu, and Napoleon. Take down the Nanyang Islands first. Then expand the results and seize a larger sea area.

The second part is to return to China to prepare for the anti-encirclement and suppression and launch a nationwide anti-Qing movement. In addition to the 20,000 expeditionary force, it is proposed to increase the number of 180,000, and use this total of 200,000 elite divisions that have been tested by the fire, and cooperate with the military strength of those heavenly kingdoms that are still in the country, to deal with the two major events that are coming.

"Two hundred thousand is a bit much. The key is how to go back without attracting attention, and what is the trick of the sixth brother in this regard?" Mai Ke asked with a frown.

"I want to make it clear that the carriage and horses should go back no more than 50,000 at most, and the others must go back in concealment. It may need to be rounded to zero. "Six strokes don't seem to have thought of a specific method yet.

"Okay, we can think more about it from the three ways of sea and air, but it really doesn't work, I'll solve it with a single move. Mai Ke motioned to continue.

The third part of the six strokes is a completely new content, which is to march into West Asia and Southwest Asia.

Of course, this strategic offensive was carried out because there were 300,000 troops in the Heavenly Kingdom, but the main reason was not here. The main reason is the strategic arrangement that has been carried out by the six plans.

The essence of this strategy is: the inside must be the outside!

In other words, in order to achieve the goal of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing the Kingdom of Heaven, these peripheries should be cleared first, and then domestic affairs should be managed.

When this strategy is put into practice, it means that the subject country encircles the host country.

Now that all the dependent states in South-East Asia have been settled, it is of course necessary to continue to advance this strategy from South-East Asia to South-West Asia and West Asia, and then to North-East Asia and North Asia.

As for East Asia and Northeast Asia, it will be left to the Navy to deal with.

Therefore, the Sixth Division established the formation of the Southwest Asia Expeditionary Force, with the goal of all areas from the territory now occupied to the west.

The main component of this is the 300,000 troops, and secondly, the navy draws a fleet from the Strait of Malacca, dominates the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Gulf, and then establishes hegemony in the Indian Ocean.

Such amphibious operations, in coordination with each other, strive to completely resolve the problems of southwest and west Asia within a month, and form a deterrent and encirclement of the Manchus from the west and southwest before the national anti-Qing uprising.

"I completely agree with the sixth brother's plan, this should be your fifth strategy, right?" Mai Ke then made the highest level of arrangement: "Since our army is divided into three routes, let's invite the sixth brother to preside over this road and specialize in Southwest Asia!"

"I can do this, but I need two main co-workers, one as a military commander and the other as a general military pastor!"

"No problem! I've got you covered. I'll send two brothers. One is Xiao Chaogui, who came as commander-in-chief, and the other is Wei Li, who came as the chief military pastor. ”

While talking eloquently, Mai Ke said in his heart, Fifth Brother, it's time for you to go out this time! You, Xiao Chaosi, have not only crossed Xiao Chaogui, but also become the real King of the Western Kingdom of Heaven.

Just like Feng Yunshan, I will also give you a Ganges alliance leader or something!

As for Wesley, a brother dedicated to evangelism, there are many obstacles of different religions ahead for you to overcome, and you will have plenty of room to use.

In order to ensure the military victory, Mike and Liuhua agreed to send two tiger generals, both of whom were brothers in the Mai Ke Brotherhood Alliance, one was Shi Dakai, the commander of the North Road of the Expeditionary Force, and the other was Chen Yucheng, the pioneer tiger general.

These two people have the ability to take charge of themselves, coupled with Xiao Chaogui's all-round ability, the wisdom and planning of the six strokes, and lead 300,000 hundred battle heroes, it will be an existence that will make any enemy tremble.

After adding a naval fleet, Mai Ke decided to send Napoleon out after comprehensive consideration, after all, he was more familiar with the waters there than Wenfu.

Although most of the 300,000 soldiers were from the former departments of Southeast Asian countries, the resident officers were basically soldiers of the teaching regiment of the original expeditionary force, and most of the people in charge of military pastoralism were from the earliest military pastorals, and the rest were also from the members of the military pastorals who were later sent here to supplement the military pastorals.

In other words, the vast majority of the 20,000 members of the expeditionary force who returned were not those who came out. The vast majority of the people who have been transferred have become the backbone of the reorganized troops, and the remaining few have basically sacrificed their lives for the country.

Another thing that is different is that these people, regardless of their position, are now committed Christians!

Mai Ke and Liuhua have reached an agreement on this strategic arrangement, from the whole to the main steps in the middle!

On October 20, 1850, the Kingdom of Heaven officially decided to start operating in Southwest Asia......!
