No matter how good Emperor Chongzhen is and how victorious he is, there is a fact that he is not leading an army of the undead or a mechanical army, but a living person who eats food every day.

In this way, there is one thing that Emperor Chongzhen will never be able to bypass, that is, the problem of grain and grass for the army.

If there are not many troops, just like last time, just 20,000 cavalry, bring some of their own food, drive the flock, and the rest will be fed by war, and they can make do with it. But even then, in the end, Emperor Chongzhen was on the border of Dongwu, relying on Zhang Huangyan's materials hoarded there in advance to ensure that the logistics of the army were correct.

This time, it's different. To destroy the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, especially these two countries are sparsely populated, Emperor Chongzhen must not only bring 20,000 cavalry. Otherwise, what will happen to the city that has been laid?

As a result, the food problem has become very prominent. It is basically impossible to ship it from within the country. It's okay to ship it from the South Seas, but at least it will take a few months. It is far better to collect grain and grass in these three vassal states for the use of the army to conquer the Persian Empire.

And these three vassal states, after experiencing the oppression of Shah Jahan, have been exhausted for many years, and their national strength has actually been empty, and they were destroyed by Emperor Chongzhen. In the middle, there are also father and son cannibalism, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb love and kill each other, and the national strength is really a little dry.

Although it recuperated for a while, the Persian Empire's attack once again ignited the flames of war in this land. Especially Tang Guo, it's really miserable.

Originally, with the identity and prestige of Emperor Chongzhen, he didn't need so many words to make a direct decree, and he could also make the three vassal states pay money and grain.

But under such circumstances, this kind of coercive expropriation is unwilling to be done by Emperor Chongzhen. Now that he had a better reason, he was naturally happy to push the boat along, and said that the original plan to conquer the Persian and Ottoman states was to ensure the safety of the three vassal states, so that they would no longer suffer from the war and disaster.

And when the three vassal kings passed this on to their subjects, there would be no such feeling of compulsion. Let their subjects know that this is so that they will not suffer from the war again, so that at least when the grain and grass are collected, there will be much less complaint.

However, although this is the case, the three vassal kings also know that there must be a lot of money and food to be paid. So, one by one, they all had sad faces. Especially King Tang, it is even more worried.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them, smiled in his heart, and said to King Tang again: "I know that Qing has suffered a lot this time. But grit your teeth, and after the destruction of Persia and the Ottomans, there will be no enemies around you to threaten you. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and then said: "No matter what Li Dingguo's subordinates did, they still did not block the enemy in the end, and the losses to the Tang State were very large. Then it would be better in this way, after conquering Persia and the Ottomans, Lahore and other places would be returned to Qing, and Kandahar would be the boundary, how about it? ”

As soon as he heard this, King Tang couldn't help but raise his head in surprise, looked at Emperor Chongzhen, a little incredulous, and then seemed to be afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would return, so he immediately knelt down and thanked him, and nailed this in advance.

From Lahore to Kandahar, it is equivalent to half the land area of the Tang State. If you can do this, then you really have to thank that Li Dingguo. If he hadn't let the Persian army in, Tang wouldn't have been able to get so much territory!

Among the three vassal states, King Meng has been fighting southward, and his territory is the largest. Now that the Tang Kingdom has increased by half, it is almost the same as him. Although he was envious, he was bitter that there was no territory to occupy in his surroundings. At this time, he was envious of Tang Guo's position.

And the smallest of the three feudal states, Fuguo, is sandwiched in the middle, and there is no possibility of development. But fortunately, King Fu is not very interested in this kind of imperial hegemony and the like.

The battle was so dangerous that I almost couldn't escape before, it was terrible!

The interest of King Fu is more of an interest in the land of the Buddha. His land is one step closer to the Buddha than it was in Henan. With such a good opportunity, it is more practical to see how to live a long life.

Subsequently, the three vassal kings went back to prepare food, and Emperor Chongzhen's side naturally wanted to bring down Delhi again.

………………

Besides, the Persian Emperor Abbas II, with his "wit and agility", once again came to survive with a broken tail, regardless of those men who were chased and killed by the Ming army, leading his cronies not to rescue, but to run away as soon as possible.

This time, he didn't stop for a moment. Almost in one breath, he fled westward until he was almost at the border of the Persian Empire, and only after reaching the Sindh region could he be regarded as relieved.

Abbas II believed that this time, he did not even meet each other, and chose to flee in the first place. No matter how powerful that Ming Emperor is, it is impossible to catch up.

But running so fast, it comes at a price. Even the strength of his troops is less than 20,000.

After crossing the mountain in front of him, his men recalled that when they first set out on the expedition, they thought that joining forces with the Ottoman Empire would really be a million troops, and they could win no matter what. At that time, how high-spirited!

However, now that I look at the front of me, the Ottoman army is definitely more than lucky. On the Persian side, there were less than 20,000 men left. And all of them are exhausted, and all of them are so thin that only bones remain.

Thinking of this, they all hung their heads one by one, and their morale seemed very low.

Seeing this, Abbas II suddenly burst out laughing, not bitterly, but proudly.

Hearing this, his subordinates were stunned, they couldn't understand what was wrong with their emperor, they didn't lose their minds, right?

Finally, one of the close generals could not bear it anymore, so he said to Abbas II in confusion: "Your Majesty, our army returned in disarray, and almost lost its entire army in the Mughals, this situation is ...... I wonder why Your Majesty is laughing? ”

Abbas II actually laughed on purpose, because he saw that his men were demoralized, and it was not good to not boost their morale. When he heard the question at this time, he was in the middle of it, so he deliberately said happily: "I laugh at the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, who claims to be a last-ditch plan and a victorious person in a hundred battles, but in fact, it's just that!" ”

"......" His subordinates listened, looked at each other, and were a little suspicious that their emperor was really crazy.

They were all driven away like lost dogs, and they laughed at others?

"......You see," said Abbas II, smiling when he saw their expressions, "the first time, I triumphantly withdrew from under the nose of the Ming Emperor, right?" Looking back, I made a comeback, killing the vassal king of the Ming Kingdom and fleeing! It stands to reason that after this first time, if the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is really powerful, he will definitely not give me a second chance to successfully retreat. But look, haven't we just managed to withdraw again? ”

Speaking of this, he raised his voice and asserted loudly: "So, the ability of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is actually just like that. Now that I have successfully withdrawn and waited for the day, I believe that I will fight stronger and stronger. The next time we fight it, it won't just be about capturing Delhi! ”

"Huh!" Abbas II sneered as he spoke, "If you want to change my position as the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, you will bury an ambush on the way to the west as soon as possible." In this way, wouldn't it be a one-and-done thing to destroy the enemy in the territory? Therefore, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom just took a shit luck and encountered a period when their Ming soldiers were strong and strong. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the subordinates in front of him and announced loudly: "You are all my loyal and good generals, and after returning to China this time, I will definitely reward you for your merits!" ”

When his men heard this, they seemed to think he had a point. If they really had to ambush the soldiers and horses on their way back, they would definitely not be able to fight them because of their hurried embarrassment.

Also, the emperor has made it clear that he will be rewarded after returning to China, so it will be worth following the emperor for this trip.

Thinking like this, don't say it, one by one, their morale is high again.

"Your Majesty is wise, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is nothing more than that!"

"Yes, if it is really a fair battle, then the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom will definitely not be able to defeat His Majesty!"

"What a clever plan, I'm sorry! It's not worth lifting shoes for Your Majesty! ”

“……”

Listening to their sycophants, and seeing that the morale was obviously favorable, Abbas II's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief: his performance was finally not in vain!

But at this moment, far in front of Abbas II, at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the border, an army in red uniforms slowly appeared in front of him.

At this moment, he was suddenly stupid.

His subordinates, seeing that his expression was a little wrong, followed his gaze, and suddenly, they were also stupid.

Seeing their way, a Ming cavalry blocked the way.

At this moment, many people can't help but secretly hate Abbas II, just your crow's mouth, look, what should I do now?

The appearance of the Ming ambush soldiers knocked the newly rising morale of the Persian army back to its original shape.

"It's the Cossacks, the cavalry of the Cossack department!" Suddenly, the soldiers in front of them made a noise, and then the voice came.

The Cossack cavalry has always been known for its bravery and skillful horsemanship. It follows its prey like a pack of wolves, and as long as there is a slight flaw, it will pounce on it and bite the prey, and finally eat the prey.

On the side of the Persian army, after recognizing the tribes on the side of the Ming army, they all of them suddenly despaired. I was already too tired to run, I couldn't run anymore, and I met the cavalry of the Ming Cossacks, how can I fight?

"Ah......h
