The 100,000 Western Expedition army led by Liu Mingzhi marched out of Yumen Pass in the west and slowly walked towards the 36 countries of the Western Regions.

From the 36 countries of the Western Regions, which is the Xinjiang region of the later generations, an area of about 1.66 million square kilometers recorded in the history books, the 400,000 army is as immobile as a mountain, and it is a dark cloud pressing down when it moves.

As soon as the number of people increased, the march was unusually slow, and Liu Mingzhi's estimate that it would take about three months for the 400,000 troops to reach the Western Regions.

In the future, the place where the express delivery is not free shipping is not so easy to get to the place, and it is not impossible to estimate three months or even longer.

The 200,000 main battle army, only the cavalry, Liu Mingzhi came out of the six guards in the northern Xinjiang, and 100,000 iron cavalry, facing the cavalry of the Western Regions, Liu Mingzhi did not bring more cavalry, and he had no bottom in his heart.

This expedition to the Western Regions will be an evenly matched war, and it may take a year, two years, or even seven or eight years, and it is not good to make a conclusion early!

"Enlightened handsome, scouts report, there are no people in a radius of fifty miles ahead, and there is no invincible feeling!"

"Continue to investigate, day and night, non-stop reconnaissance in batches!"

"Order!"

The army spent a month in a boring march, but the soldiers did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, because Liu Mingzhi instilled in them the importance of the land of the Western Regions more than once in five months.

They went on the Western Expedition not to kill, but to regain the glory that once belonged to the sons of the Han family.

The driving force of the Western Expedition was not the willow-character handsome flag hanging high above the banner, but the flag of the Western Regions Protectorate that was whistling in the wind.

The night before the expedition, the commander made a solemn promise in the face of the three armies that he must re-establish the banner of the Western Regions Protectorate on the territory of the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

Once the soldiers were tired, they would look up at the banner of the Western Regions Protectorate, and they would instantly be full of pride.

"Qiyu Dashuai, the golden eagle biography of the Jingshi!"

Liu Mingzhi, who was studying the map in the carriage, frowned slightly, the golden eagle of the Beijing Division?

Could it be that something terrible happened to Jingshi?

"Pass it on!"

"Yes!"

Song Qing opened the curtain of the carriage door and went straight in, holding a bamboo tube in his hand and putting it in front of Liu Mingzhi: "Your Majesty's golden eagle biography!" ”

Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the bamboo tube on the low table a little puzzled: "Your Majesty is finally out of the customs?" ”

Song Qing also shook his head blankly: "I don't know, let's take a look at the content first!" ”

Liu Mingzhi checked the fire paint on the bamboo tube, took out the letter paper, and looked through it, Mu Ran, Liu Mingzhi's palm clenched the letter paper in his hand tightly, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"The Great Dragon fleet is going to the Western Ocean!"

"To the West? When did we have a fleet? ”

Liu Mingzhi motioned to Song Qing not to speak, he needed to be quiet, Song Qing naturally didn't hesitate when he saw this, and sat quietly waiting for Liu Dashao.

Liu Mingzhi looked at the letter in his hand again, and frowned: "No wonder Your Majesty does not allow anyone to enter the Jing'an Palace, it turns out that Your Majesty is not in the Jing'an Palace at all, but has gone to the sea!" ”

"Your Majesty went to sea?"

Liu Mingzhi's face was embarrassed, and he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a trace of ambiguity when he said this, but fortunately, Song Qing didn't understand the meaning of going to the sea, otherwise he would be so frightened that his face turned blue.

Liu Mingzhi completely explained to Song Qing the matter of the household being spent more than 6 million silver by Li Zheng.

Song Qing nodded clearly: "Are you saying that Your Majesty is not in the palace Jing'an Hall Qing Xiu, but went to personally supervise the construction of sea ships?" ”

Liu Mingzhi handed the letter to Song Qing: "Everything is on the letter, see for yourself, the continuous supply of grain and grass for the 400,000 army plus the goods prepared by the West and the silver taels don't know if the household can afford it!" ”

Song Qing flipped through the letters, Liu Mingzhi independently got out of the carriage, looked at the blue sky, and sighed long.

"Xiao Jin, bring my horse here, my waist hurts a little when I sit!"

Murong Ran, who was sitting on the frame, flew and jumped for a while, and after a while, Liu Dashao's sweat and blood BMW was popular, and he was led to him by Murong Shan.

Liu Mingzhi jumped on his horse, glanced at the team that was divided into countless queues and stretched for seven or eight miles, and rode slowly to the side with a look of relief.

Compared with whether the treasury can support the consumption of the Western Expeditionary Army and the consumption of the Western Ocean, Liu Mingzhi is more worried about the quality of the sea ships.

The sea is not on land, there is no room for the slightest sloppiness, a move will be wiped out, no matter when the sea is always ruthless, it will never be merciful to your subordinates because you are the son of the Han family.

Liu Mingzhi told Li Zheng that the number of people who went to the West on the ship was 25,000, and if something happened to the ship, the 25,000 sons would be .........

Song Qing also jumped out of the carriage and jumped onto his horse, looking at Liu Dashao in confusion: "Your Majesty actually asked you to look for a chief military officer to go to the West?" Although you were born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the river is not worth mentioning compared to the vast ocean, which is not a trivial matter! ”

"Big brother, have you seen the boats of our Yellow River Sailor and Yangtze River Sailor?"

"Naturally, I've seen it, what's wrong?"

"How's the quality?"

Song Qing shook his head: "It's hard to say, but this commander believes in the ability of the great dragon to be a skilled craftsman, and the battle armor of this commander is all forged by them!" Never had a trip to the pool! ”

Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the remnant sun in the distance.

"Yes, I'm thinking too much, I should believe that Dalong's skilled craftsmen are!"

The sea ship that Li Zheng personally supervised must have undergone a sail test, otherwise he would not have received this letter, at least in his impression, Li Zheng is definitely not an emperor with a hot brain.

Since he received the letter, it means that Li Zheng must have thought it through.

"Let's not talk about these first, you also understand what Your Majesty means, it is your intention to go to the Western Ocean, you also have to be responsible for the affairs of the chief officer of this fleet, all the 100,000 sailors in the south of the Yangtze River were transferred to Haijin Town for training, and 25,000 people were selected to prepare to sail to the sea, and the sailors also did not fight in the vast sea, the selection of this chief soldier is the most important, and he is shouldering the net worth of 20,000 dragons!"

Liu Mingzhi frowned together, and he was also a little hesitant in his heart, An Gou'er followed the hoe and a few people in the East China Sea for three years to learn the skills of navigation, and Liu Mingzhi did not doubt the skills of navigation.

However, it is difficult to say whether An Gou'er can serve as the commander of his fleet of nearly 30,000 soldiers and soldiers, and Liu Mingzhi's mind keeps spinning.

Liu Mingzhi, who had been silent for a long time, made a decision with a condensed face, and let An Gou'er be the chief military officer, no one is born to fight, and neither is himself.

Have you honed it differently now? From a small fight to now leading an army of 400,000 out of Yumen Pass to conquer the 36 countries of the Western Regions, why can't you be a dog?

Moreover, there are several hoes and He's assistants, as long as the deputy general An Gouer is selected, he can take on the heavy responsibility of the chief officer of the fleet.

Liu Mingzhi, who had figured this out, got off his horse, jumped into the carriage, and began to study ink and write with a pen.

The army was still marching towards the Western Regions, and ten days later, Liu Mingzhi stood on the frame of the carriage and looked at the golden eagle circling away, stunned.

"Jianghe, the eldest brother gave you a vast sea of great achievements, don't let the eldest brother down!"
