The next day, the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Liu Juntao sat in the lobby with a frown, more than a dozen attendants from the military department were nervously busy, and the personnel of the military department, the inspection department, the intelligence department, and the praise and painting department were all present, and they were busy with those soldiers of the military department.

Just last night, an urgent military report of 800 miles was sent to the capital and placed in front of Liu Juntao.

The leader of the Ghakeli tribe, who was entrenched in Hamiwei, began to reorganize the army, and now his soldiers and horses have swelled to about 400,000, and Liu Juntao has regarded it as a major danger to his henchmen.

"Qi Qi Bingxian, the strength of the troops of the Qi Gaslan is at least more than 350,000, and its troops are also more than 500,000, and the strength is ......."

"According to the report of the defenders of Jiayuguan, as well as the intelligence collected by the sharp sentry and night guards in Gansu Town, the number of iron cavalry is at least 60,000 or more, and the rest are elite foot soldiers......"

"According to the sharp posts of the military department, as well as the information gathered by the shogunate's intelligence department, the inspection department, and the military department, the military department has prepared a group of elite henchmen, using the Hui cult as a means to win the hearts of the people, the strength of the army is about 40,000 or 50,000, the iron cavalry and the soldiers are half in half, and it is said that the soldiers and horses of the department are well-equipped and have strong combat power!"

Hearing this, Liu Juntao was slightly moved, the cult mentioned in the last piece of information that Lan Siqi read was not Islam in later generations, that is, Islam? This religion is notoriously exclusionary, offensive and bloody!

Liu Juntao did not have a good impression of this religion, and at the same time, he deepened his fear of Gaslan, and also determined his intention to completely annihilate it!

If this Gaslan really took shit luck, reversed history, successfully marched into the Central Plains, and spread Islam like a plague to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it would be a disaster for China, no less than a deep disaster in Wuhu China!

At this time, all aspects of intelligence have been gathered in front of Liu Juntao, and all kinds of situations have clearly shown that Jiaslan is about to move, and the posture of moving eastward is already very obvious, and the first is Jiayuguan.

Liu Juntao's face was solemn, the situation between the DPRK and China was not stable at this time, and there were still many things to deal with, and now was not a good opportunity for Liu Juntao to lead his army westward.

But once the troops of the Jaslan Division marched eastward, the war would start directly in full force, and Liu Juntao had to prepare in advance to deal with it.

"In the name of the Ministry of War: "

Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "Order the defenders of Jiayuguan to strengthen their vigilance, and immediately move all the people within a hundred miles west of Jiayuguan into the counties north of Jiayuguan, and the walls will be cleared, and no one is allowed to enter and leave Jiayuguan at will!" ”

"Order the town of Gansu to prepare for war immediately, and dispatch 30,000 soldiers and horses to be ready to gallop west to aid Jiayuguan at any time......"

"Order Taiyuan Town and Datong Town to prepare for war immediately, and be ready to go to Jiayuguan to participate in the battle at any time......"

"Order Hanhai Town to prepare for war and be ready to march west to participate in the war at any time......"

"Order the Hanhai Protectorate to dispatch 50,000 iron cavalry, ready to march west to participate in the war at any time......"

"Order the shogunate's Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to coordinate with the Imperial Court and the Ministry of Household to immediately start raising money and food, and within a month, we must raise 200,000 troops to fight for half a year!"

One after another, everyone felt their blood boiling, this is to prepare for a full-scale war, it can be seen that Liu Juntao is not just satisfied with recovering Hamiwei, but to continue to advance westward!

Hanhai Town, Hanhai Duhufu, Taiyuan Town, Datong Town, Gansu Town, and the garrison of Jiayuguan, the strength of these armies already has more than 100,000 people, and the rest of the Tiance Army must also participate in the war, so calculated, the Ming army will invest more than 200,000 troops in this battle, and it is even possible to get closer to 300,000!

300,000 elite Ming troops are enough to sweep the world, and no enemy in the world can resist such a force!

Lan Siqi said excitedly: "What does Bing Xian mean is that this battle is not just about defeating Kathlan and recovering Hamiwei? ”

Liu Juntao looked at the people in the lobby and said: "To the west of Hamiwei, is the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which was the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate and the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate of the year, how can I sit back and watch the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties and not recover it?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately excited, and they all clenched their fists and said: "We are willing to follow the military constitution to guide the country and defend China!" ”

After the meeting, Liu Juntao entered the palace with his own response plan, at this time Emperor Chenghua was also worried about the affairs of Ha Miwei, and heard that Liu Juntao had formulated a strategy to deal with it, and he was overjoyed.

Emperor Chenghua looked at the strategy presented by Liu Juntao, frowned slightly, and said: "This strategy of Dingxiang Marquis is very good, but to deal with the Jiaslan Division, it is necessary to use so many soldiers, horses, money and food, and it is expected that the war will last for more than a year, is it too important to value this person?" It didn't take so much time to annihilate the Warat and Tatar tribes at the beginning! ”

Liu Juntao said: "Your Majesty, this person is different from the Warat Department and the Tatar Department, he is good at using cults to deceive people, and the soldiers and horses under his control are not only well-equipped, but also all of them are brainwashed by the cult and are not afraid of death, and their combat power is extremely strong, and his army of 300,000 or 400,000 is enough to rush into the hinterland of the northwest, and the imperial court must not despise it!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chenghua was also slightly stunned, and the dark color was a little more dignified.

"Moreover, the cult on which the Jiaslan relies is very sharp, and in terms of demagoguery, it is far more powerful than some cults such as the White Lotus Sect, and once this kind of cult breaks through the Jiayu Pass with the army of the Jiaslan Army, it will spread in the northwestern provinces and even the hinterland of the Central Plains, it will be a monstrous disaster!"

Speaking of this, Liu Juntao said with a little excitement: "Your Majesty! If the Gazlan is compared to a fierce tiger, it only takes 100,000 troops and three months to be sure that it will be annihilated; But that cult is a plague, invisible and silent, but it can demagogue people's hearts and permeate the world. Now that the tiger is entangled with a plague-like cult, the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command have become hellish legions, which will not only be destroyed by war, but also spread evil poison and corrupt the world! ”

Emperor Chenghua couldn't help but be shocked, took a breath of cool air, and said: "This Jiaslan is so dangerous, no wonder Dingxiang Marquis is so serious about this battle, it seems that Gasilan is really a strong enemy of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Liu Juntao said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the minister has thought about it again and again, the imperial court can only use the momentum of the tiger to fight the rabbit, mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals, make up its mind to win, fight a protracted war, and not annihilate the troops of the Ganslan and vow not to give up, in order to recover Hamiwei in one fell swoop, and even rely on the power of this battle to recover all the long-pending Western Regions!" ”

Hearing that he was going to recover the Western Regions, Emperor Chenghua was also excited, after all, as an emperor, he still had the heart to do this kind of meritorious service, especially now that Emperor Chenghua had just ascended the throne, his prestige was still shallow, and he needed such a great deed.

Therefore, Emperor Chenghua immediately approved Liu Juntao's strategy, and ordered Liu Juntao to be fully responsible for the war, and the military department, household department, and official department were all under his dispatch, and the garrisons of Shandong, Shanxi, Hanhai Prefecture, Gansu, Shaanxi, Jinggi and other places were all under Liu Juntao's control!

As a result, almost more than half of the combatable soldiers in the northern land of the Ming Dynasty were all assigned to Liu Juntao's command!

That night, after Liu Juntao returned to the mansion, he began to think about what shortcomings the strategy still had, and prepared to start implementing it as soon as possible.

On this night, the wind in the capital continued, and the trees in the courtyard kept swaying, like evil spirits dancing wildly, which was terrifying.

Liu Juntao was also upset when he saw this, and a bad premonition kept lingering in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, and Liu Juntao couldn't help frowning.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and it was Liu Zi'an.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Zi'an said with an unkind expression: "Qi Qi Bingxian, I just received the news, Qi Jiaslan left the Tatar general Bai Yi Saha to lead an army of 100,000 to garrison Hamiwei, and he led an army of 300,000 to start the eastward expedition, and all the fortresses west of Jiayu Pass were lost, and the Tartar army will come to Jiayu Pass within two days!" ”

"When's the news?"

Liu Juntao was also shocked in his heart, that Jiaslan was still one step ahead, and his own arrangements had just been sent out, and it was estimated that now Jiayuguan, Gansu Town, Taiyuan Town, Datong Town, Hanhai Town and other places have not yet been in place, and Jiayuguan is in danger!

Liu Zi'an said: "The news was four days ago, and it was just sent to the capital!" ”

Liu Juntao frowned and said, "In other words, the 300,000 troops under the command of Jiaslan have already arrived at Jiayuguan City two days ago!" ”

Liu Zi'an nodded.

Liu Juntao lowered his head and muttered: "There are only more than 10,000 defenders in Jiayuguan, although after this period of rectification, the combat power is still not of great use, it seems that I need to think of a remedy!" ”

At this time, Liu Juntao knew in his heart that the matter between the DPRK and China must be concluded as soon as possible, and it could not be delayed any longer no matter what!

So that night, Liu Juntao called Menda, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, and said, "How is the list prepared?" ”

Menda was also startled when he saw Liu Juntao's solemn expression, and hurriedly said, "Master Qiqi, it's ready." ”

"Tomorrow morning, Your Majesty, the case will be closed immediately!"

Menda didn't dare to ask more, and went straight away.

Early the next morning, Liu Juntao entered the palace with Menda and played the result of the case as Emperor Hua.

At this time, Emperor Chenghua had learned that Jia Silan led an army of 300,000 to the east, and he was also eager to close the case, so he immediately played it.

Two days later, dozens of civil officials in the DPRK and China who were either involved in the case or opposed Liu Juntao's change were arrested by Jinyi Wei and taken to prison, and after three days, all of them were beheaded, and all their families were handed over to the Jiaofang Department as slaves and prostitutes.

All of a sudden, the Chinese and officials of the DPRK and the government were completely arrogant, and the government and government were instantly stabilized, and the cabinet elders also lost their temper and no longer dared to act rashly.

In the early dynasty, Liu Juntao wrote to Emperor Chenghua in public, requesting to lead the army to the west to meet the army of the army of the Gan Kaslan.

Emperor Chenghua quasi-played.
