Needless to say, in order to recommend responsibility, he must have tried his best to defend himself and exaggerate the strength of the Ming army. So, the number of Ming troops in Mumbai was forced to the 100,000 mark, just look at this posture, which is to destroy the Mughal Empire.

When Shah Jahan heard this, he was furious, and at this time, the Taj Mahal had been completed, so he focused his mind on the side of the Ming army, and while sending sentry agents, he began to dispatch troops and prepare to conquer Mumbai in person.

Of course, if the army wants to move, it is not something that can be acted on as soon as it is said. There is a lot to be done by mobilizing troops from all over the country, as well as raising grain and grass, etc.

………………

At this time, with the train as a means of transportation beyond the times, you can travel day and night, and on this day, Emperor Chongzhen led the army and arrived at Luntai.

Hearing that the Ming Emperor's army was coming again, almost all of them came out to greet him. Those who went away to graze their cattle heard that the emperor had arrived, and they also left the herd and hurried to see him.

Hong Chengchou was also quite happy, and when he arrived from afar, he told Emperor Chongzhen about the current situation on this side of the Tianshan Mountains.

Emperor Chongzhen knew almost all of the Grade A eavesdropping seeds on his body, but he didn't interrupt and watched the changes in Luntai on the spot.

To be honest, Luntai has changed a lot from the Luntai he saw when he first came over. It's expanded a lot, at least twice as big. There are already many Han people living here, and among them, not only have they migrated here, but also come here to do business.

In fact, during the time that Hong Chengchou was here, he didn't do anything else except fight, which was to drive those captives to build the railway, so the construction speed of the railway outside the city was fast.

The transportation is convenient, and the population from Kannai is naturally larger.

Listening to Hong Chengchou's introduction, Emperor Chongzhen nodded constantly, and was very satisfied with his work: "Qing's contribution is very great, and he will definitely leave his name in the annals of history." ”

For many civil officials, being able to leave a name in history is a lifelong pursuit. When Hong Chengchou heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. By the way, he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and finally asked: "Your Majesty's expedition this time, should it be to attack Tsarist Russia?" ”

After Emperor Chongzhen decided to go on the expedition, he sent a messenger in advance to send it to Hong Chengchou, asking him to transfer troops and prepare cattle and sheep materials. As for where to attack, there is no elaboration.

And Hong Chengchou's side, during this time, has already had a small-scale conflict with Tsarist Russia. After all, Tsarist Russia originally had a conflict with the Dzungar Ministry, and the Ming army successively eliminated several small surrounding countries, and the territory was expanded again, which was much larger than the original sphere of influence of the Dzungar Ministry, and the conflict was inevitable.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he used a horsewhip to guide the way and said: "The Mughal Empire in the south sent troops to attack my Dongwu and kill my Dongwu people. ”

When he was in the mainland, Hong Chengchou had never heard of the Mughal Empire, but he had been ruling the Tianshan Mountains for more than a day or two, and of course he had heard of the Mughal Empire. Knowing that the empire controlled a large amount of land in the south and was strong, it was only a few years ago that Kandahar was defeated, and those small countries avoided its edge.

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou immediately said worriedly: "Your Majesty, to destroy this big country, relying on the strength of Weichen's side alone is really a little less. ”

Speaking of this, he estimated slightly, and then added: "On Weichen's side, although there are about 30,000 cavalry now, if you want to send herdsmen to participate in the war, it is possible to gather 50,000. However, Tsarist Russia in the north has many bad intentions, and if it is detected that the main force here is exhausted, it will definitely lead troops south, rob my cattle and sheep, and slaughter my people! ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened, smiled slightly, and was about to say more, when the shout of "My emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live".

It turned out that he had already arrived at Luntai, and all the people around him were kneeling to greet him.

So, Emperor Chongzhen cordially condoled the people, not to talk about this topic, so that Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart, I don't know what the emperor is planning?

I have to say that when Emperor Chongzhen first came, he had already impressed everyone here with his benevolence to the Oirat tribe and the great martial power of chasing down and killing the Jungar tribe until they were wiped out.

Also, who doesn't want his emperor to love his subjects like a son, and treat the enemies of his tribe is iron-blooded and ruthless. The grassland people originally followed the principle of the law of the jungle, but if there is a king who is kind inside and strong outside, can they not cherish it!

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen received the warmest welcome from the depths of their hearts! Cheerful singing and enthusiastic dancing were everywhere on the grassland, expressing their respect for the arrival of the emperor.

This scene surprised Wu Sangui and Kong Youde, who came here for the first time, but at the same time, they also had a strong sense of pride!

Waiting until nightfall, Emperor Chongzhen held a military meeting overnight before announcing his plan and said: "I conquer the Mughal Empire, in addition to the 10,000 cavalry I bring, Hongqing's side, another 10,000 cavalry can be dispatched." No matter how much it is, the logistical burden is too great, which will hurt the people's livelihood on this side of the Tianshan Mountains. ”

"Your Majesty, by all means!" When Hong Chengchou heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly advised, "Weichen knows that His Majesty can fight well, but he only has 20,000 cavalry to conquer the huge Mughal Empire, even if His Majesty wins a hundred battles, this force is too small!" ”

No matter what, even if you can fight again, there will definitely be casualties in every battle, right? Even if the number is small, if it accumulates in each battle, it will definitely have a great impact on the total number of troops.

Also, after conquering the city, do you want to occupy it? If it is to be occupied, then the forces will be apportioned.

If it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen's victory in a hundred battles, Hong Chengchou would really think that the emperor was just talking on paper, and that fighting a war was just an army fight.

The other generals were also surprised when they heard about it for the first time, no matter how bold they were. If the emperor took them to the territory of the Mughal Empire to rush and kill for a while, even if they went deep into the territory of the Mughal Empire, there would be no problem, just like the Jianguo who entered the customs and plundered back then.

But if it was for the purpose of destroying the country, it is estimated that the arrogant Jianyu back then would never have had this idea.

Looking at their expressions, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile slightly: "On the Dongwu side, Zhang Qing, the governor of Dongwu, has arrived at the border with all his troops and horses, and is currently in a stalemate with the third prince of the Mughal Empire, Aurang Zebu. Later, when the army from Yunnan arrives, the number of troops will only be more, which is one of them. ”

Hearing this, there was another second, Hong Chengchou immediately remembered, it seemed that the emperor was planning and then acting, and there must be a follow-up move, so he was a little relieved and listened with his ears pricked up.

"Second, Yan Qing, the governor of Dongwu, has led a total of more than 20,000 naval and land armies to land in Mumbai and build a defensive line in Mumbai." Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen paced to the map that had been hung, pointed to the location of Mumbai, and then continued, "Here, the army of the Mughal Empire has been defeated twice, and more troops have been wiped out each time. If I had predicted otherwise, Shah Jahan of the Mughal Empire would have led his main army to conquer Bombay in order to destroy the Governor of Yan. ”

"Your Majesty, is the strength of Governor Yan's troops too small?" Hong Chengchou listened and reminded with a little worry.

Emperor Chongzhen listened and said with a smile: "Hong Qing probably forgot that Yan Qing has a navy on his side, and he really can't resist it, so he can withdraw to the island, even where the allies are retreating to Goa, or even Ceylon." At least in the short term, there will be nothing on Yan Qing's side. ”

In Hong Chengchou's mind, there is really no such thing as navy. When I heard it at this time, I remembered that there was the sea over there, and there was also the navy reorganized by the sailors, which was completely different from the land battles he had been fighting, and I couldn't help but be a little vigilant in my heart: I shouldn't be old, right?

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the many courtiers below who were already looking much more relaxed, and continued: "A few years ago, I already had a decree to Gushi Khan in Tibet to let him send an elite army here. Now, he has received my will to send his son Dalantai to take over this elite army, and from here he will fight into the Mughal Empire. ”

As he said this, he pointed to the northern border of the Mughal Empire on the map and drew a line to indicate it.

Hearing this, all the generals were surprised, but they didn't expect that there would be such a strange soldier, and they were all overjoyed.

"This is located on the plateau, and leading troops to the plains has a great tactical advantage." Emperor Chongzhen continued to smile and said, "The will I gave him is to wait for the opportunity to move, avoid the real and make a false one, and attract the military strength of the Mughal Empire to be exhausted. ”

Speaking of this, he drew a line on the map again, and said in a louder voice: "And I will lead 20,000 cavalry troops from here into the territory of the Mughal Empire and take their capital." If there is no chance, cooperate with other forces to annihilate the living forces of the Mughal Empire. As long as the mobile forces and even the main force of the Mughal Empire are annihilated in the field, and then go east to meet the Dongwu army to attack the Mughal Empire, and attack the city along the way until the Mughal is destroyed! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's plan was not perfect, so the various armies, located in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the Mughal Empire, were difficult to communicate with each other, and it was difficult to cooperate with each other.

However, Emperor Chongzhen has a golden finger, and he can know the battle situation everywhere. Even on the Tibetan army's side, he threw a Grade A eavesdropping seed on the envoy he sent. With 20,000 cavalry troops maneuvering, cooperating with various operations, and having an overview of the overall situation, this strategic arrangement can be achieved relatively perfectly.

I have to say that for this era of poor communication in ancient times, this eavesdropping system is really powerful! It's just ridiculous, I thought this golden finger was very weak, and I almost scolded the system! Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Hong Chengchou and the others understood Emperor Chongzhen's overall plan, and they immediately became hot, and they really wanted to participate in such a big battle to destroy the country. They are sure that this battle to destroy the country will definitely become a classic example for future generations, and it would be a pity not to leave a name!
