But then again, Lu Xiangsheng's situation is actually understandable.

Watching the Ming Dynasty continue to expand its territory, watching Sun Chuanting occupy at least two Ming territories, watching Hong Chengchou's expedition to the Western Regions, reproducing and even far surpassing the original Tang Dynasty scenery, and even watching the junior Yan Yingyuan also guard South Asia for the Ming Dynasty. Seriously, as long as you feel that you can still move, you will definitely have ideas.

This era is the best era of the Ming Dynasty, and if you don't take advantage of this time to do more activities, you will inevitably regret it in the future.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, and after thinking for a while, he began to turn his attention to the present.

The eavesdropping system is really very against the sky, with this golden finger, although Emperor Chongzhen is sitting in Delhi, but for the situation in various places, the situation of Hong Chengchou from Mingwei Fort in the north, Yan Yingyuan in Ceylon in the south, and Zheng Chenggong in Mumbai are all clear.

After a comprehensive estimate, I feel that I am almost ready. Crucially, climate considerations are also taken into account.

If it's too hot, South Asia will be hot to death, which is better for the locals, but it will be very unfriendly to the local soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who come from afar.

And if it's too cold, you'll also freeze to death. When it snows heavily, it can bury people. Of course, this mainly refers to the northern regions, such as Kashmir. In the Persian Empire, it was the northernmost region.

Today's time has come to the end of December of the thirtieth year of Chongzhen. After Emperor Chongzhen considered it, he sent a decree to the southern Mumbai side. The time for the start of the army is scheduled to be the end of the New Year.

And on the Delhi side, of course, too. In any case, other countries do not celebrate the New Year, but the Ming Dynasty is going to celebrate the New Year, and this is the most important festival, if possible, of course, it cannot be delayed.

Soon it was the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Emperor Chongzhen's New Year's greetings were to destroy the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, and the momentum was very grand.

Subsequently, during the Spring Festival, the armies made final preparations. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Chongzhen led 50,000 troops as the advance army under the eyes of the three vassal kings, and set off mightily. The first stop is Kandahar in the border area.

At this time, Kandahar was already in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the garrison general was Wu Sangui. The original Lahore was handed over to the Tang King a year ago.

After Wu Sangui received the order of Emperor Chongzhen to lead the army, he prepared to take over with great fanfare, and at the same time, he also made a big noise. All of a sudden, everyone knew that the Ming Emperor would soon lead his army to arrive and destroy the Persian Empire.

However, there is one thing that is very bad in ancient times, that is, the transportation is too poor. If you want to change the future generations, it will only take two hours to arrive, but it will take at least more than a month for Emperor Chongzhen to lead the army from Delhi to Kandahar.

This time, there was no hurry, it was even slower.

In this way, even if he is deaf and blind on the side of Abbas II, it is inevitable that he will finally know. What's more, he was quite jealous of Emperor Ming, and he would definitely send a fine work over to listen to the news.

No, in the palace of Isfahan, the capital of the Persian Empire, Abbas II was a little dumbfounded after hearing the news that Hosaku had returned to give a message.

Before, he had actually been praying in his heart, hoping that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom would return after recovering the original Mughal place just like last time.

But now he was disappointed. The emperor of the Ming Kingdom even mobilized a large number of troops this time and threatened to destroy himself, he was well fed?

Abbas II felt like he was going crazy when he thought of this, so he flipped the table and smashed the plate, which was very venting.

The civil and military officials below looked at this, and at the same time they were surprised in their hearts, but they didn't dare to speak.

You must know that the previous Abbas II, before the first battle with the Ming army, was wise and martial, how could he be so out of shape in front of the ministers!

Actually, Abbas II didn't want to. But if he didn't vent like this, he would really be driven crazy by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom!

Abbas II knew everything.

In the past, when the Mughal Empire, an opponent, was attacked by the Ming army, he accepted the surrender of Mughal officials, and without much effort, he occupied a large territory that he had never thought of before, and even took such a prosperous town as Mughal Lahore.

However, the good times did not last long, and when he heard the way the Ming army was fighting, he was so deluded that he wanted to unite with Aurangzeb to defeat the Ming army, in order to seek greater benefits.

As a result, I didn't expect that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom would be so good at fighting, defeating Aurangzeb, not to mention, and beating himself to the point of losing his armor, and finally only led the cavalry and lost the cities that he had originally eaten, so that he was able to escape back to the country.

If it's just this once, it's nothing. He even thought about uniting the feud with the Ottoman Empire and wanted to kill the Ming Kingdom. It can be said that it was completely painstaking and painstaking efforts, and finally the forces of the two countries united to march eastward on a scale that had never been seen before.

As a result, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom unexpectedly reappeared, not only defeated the Ottoman army, but also almost copied his own back road, and even planted an ambush on the border, causing his entire army to be annihilated. If it weren't for that blessing, this life would have been over there.

After returning, the successive defeats led to instability in the country, and the butcher's knife had to be raised. Just took a breath, and the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom actually killed again!

Abbas II felt a deep sense of powerlessness as he thought about this.

For the Ming Emperor's ability to fight, for the Ming army's courage and skill, Abbas II is definitely the most aware person.

He understood that even if the strength of the Persian Empire was still there, back before the two defeats, the Ming Emperor would probably not be able to stop it from attacking on such a large scale.

Not to mention, in the two wars now, the elite of the empire has been completely lost, not to mention being tossed by him, the strength of the empire is even weaker. I don't know how many tribes will be dissatisfied. A little wind and grass will definitely produce moths!

How can this battle be fought?

Lifting the table and throwing things, Abbas II gasped for breath, and the first thought that appeared in his mind was that he couldn't beat it, so he had better run away!

However, this is already domestic, and if you run away, where can you flee to?

Even if they fled westward, the Ming army would definitely pursue them, and there would be no way to escape. If you fled further, it would be within the Ottoman Empire. Now the Ottoman Empire also suffered heavy losses, and it was also within the scope of the Ming Emperor's revenge. If you run over there by yourself, you will just let the Ming Emperor destroy himself on the way to the Ottoman Empire!

Besides, if he fled to the side of the Ottoman Empire, would he be angry with them, saying that he proposed to unite to attack the Ming Kingdom, so that the Ottoman Empire suffered such heavy losses. Coupled with the factor of feud, it is really possible to be angry with them!

Thinking so, Abbas II was a little desperate. That Ming Dog Emperor, still let people live?

At this time, suddenly the guards at the gate of the temple came in and said, "Your Highness, the envoys of the Netherlands and England have come together to ask for an audience. ”

As soon as Abbas II heard this, he knew that they must have heard the news that the Ming army was going to attack on a large scale, and they probably came to ask about the situation!

I was irritable, but I had to ask for others, after all, people's muskets and artillery were very sharp. Therefore, even if he did not want to meet people at this time, he had to agree to their request.

Watching the guard turn and walk out of the temple, a thought popped into his mind. Then, the more he thought about it, the better he thought it was, and for a moment, he thought about it stupidly.

"I've seen His Majesty the Emperor!"

Hearing this, Abbas II came to his senses and saw two Europeans saluting him.

Thinking about the thought just now, he immediately became a little excited, and hurriedly wanted to say what he thought. However, before he could speak, the British and Dutch in front of him had already spoken to me word by word.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor of the country is going to personally lead the army to kill him!"

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, with us, the Ming army will not want to defeat Persia!"

"The two of us are here, we have good news to tell Your Majesty!"

"Yes, we just received news that the additional domestic fleet has arrived."

"The reinforcements of our British fleet have also arrived, and we will definitely protect Your Majesty and defend the friendship between our two countries!"

“……”

Hearing this, Abbas II couldn't help but be overjoyed. It's really like sleeping and encountering a pillow, which is a charcoal in the snow!

So, he hurriedly asked with a look of expectation: "How many have come, and how many fleets of your two countries have combined?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the fleet in Gombullon now, counting our two countries, has as many as one hundred and fifteen ships!"

Hearing this, Abbas II, who was full of expectations, was suddenly a little disappointed, which was clearly expressed in his face: "How can it be so little? ”

If there were more fleets of Europeans, he could hire more troops to help him defend the city, and maybe he wouldn't have to run away. However, it is obviously unrealistic to be such a small person.

Seeing him like this, the British envoy was a little unhappy, and immediately said: "Our fleet is very strong, and the Ming army has more than twice as many warships as us, and they are not suppressed by us, and they dare not fight at all. Now we have more than a hundred ships in our combined fleet, and the Ming fleet will not be our opponent even if it is twice as large. ”

"That's right, we have a lot of sailors this time, as long as Your Majesty can hire them, you will definitely be able to help Your Majesty win this war!" The Dutchman followed.

The two of them came to tell Abbas II the good news, just to take this opportunity to squeeze some more benefits.

When Abbas II heard this, he was not moved by what they said, but asked: "How many troops can you contribute?" I tell you that this time the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom personally led the army to come, at least 100,000 soldiers and horses! ”

"......" When the British envoy and the Dutch envoy heard this, they were speechless.
