The news of Goa's victory spread to Xingcheng Port, naturally the city celebrated, the main army of the Mughal Empire was finally wiped out, and the layout of nearly a year was finally not in vain, and then as long as the Ming army did not make fatal mistakes, it was a foregone conclusion to take the Mughal Empire!

Zhu Cijiong was in a good mood, and he decided to go to Goa in person to cheer up the front-line soldiers.

Knowing the news that the emperor was coming, Lu Xiangsheng had to stop moving forward and wait in Goa City, anyway, the soldiers also need to rest after the war, and it is nothing to rest for a few more days.

Zhu Cijiong came faster than expected, less than ten days after the battle, he led the first army of the Praetorian Guard to Goa, at this time the soldiers who participated in the war just finished resting, one by one in good spirits, when greeting the mountain shouting loudly, it was really called a mountain shouting tsunami, the sound was magnificent.

So far, a small Goa city has gathered more than 500,000 people in the Ming Dynasty, including:

100,000 horses and horses of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard under the command of Qin Liangyu;

Lu Xiangsheng commanded nearly 100,000 Tianxiong troops;

Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army was nearly 100,000;

50,000 horses of the First Army of the Expeditionary Force commanded by Hou Shilu;

100,000 horses and horses of the Second Army of the Expeditionary Force commanded by Qin Yiming;

The Siamese army commanded by Yu Shilu had nearly 100,000 horses:

With so many people, how to arrange it? The first thing Zhu Cijiong did when he arrived in Goa was to have a meeting, and now the situation is different, because no one expected that the main army of the Mughal Empire would be so vulnerable!

The most conservative estimates believe that the Ming Dynasty will have at least 100,000 casualties, but they never thought that the final casualties were less than 50,000, and after more than ten days of rest, the wounded soldiers were basically healed, and the Ming army was reduced by more than 10,000 people, and the situation was very good.

Zhu Cijiong first announced that all the soldiers who participated in the war were rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the pension of all the fallen soldiers was doubled, which was seven or eight million taels, but this little money was nothing to him.

Subsequently, everyone began to discuss the matter of marching into Delhi, and after discussing and discussing, they found that more than 500,000 horses seemed to be a little insufficient!

What's going on here? The main reason is that Goa is too far away from Delhi, and the transportation of grain and grass is very labor-intensive.

Is it advancing while building railways like the Eastern Front? This is obviously unrealistic, more than 3,000 miles away, and there are not enough manpower, wouldn't it be necessary to repair until the Year of the Monkey, Zhu Cijiong didn't have the time to wait.

In the end, everyone still thinks that according to the old way, the transportation of grain and grass will require more people, so many people will be needed to participate in the war, just pushing the grain and grass carts will need more than 100,000 people, and in order to prevent accidents, a legion will be sent to escort it, and that's it, 200,000 people will be gone.

Then, there are dozens of large and small cities from Goa to Delhi, you can't just fight it, you have to send people to defend, and a rough estimate will require at least 100,000 horses.

Also, Goa can't be left alone, there are still more than 100,000 captives of the main army of the Mughal Empire here, if you don't send a hundred thousand people to guard it, can you rest assured?

In this way, there are only 150,000 horses left that can really be put into battle, and 150,000 horses to attack the capital guarded by 100,000 horses is a bit unreliable, so Zhu Cijiong decided to mobilize men and horses to come to Goa to help.

This person doesn't need too much, just have more than 100,000, according to the combat power of the Ming army, 300,000 people attack Delhi, and it is absolutely easy to win.

In fact, there is no need for soldiers to push the grain and grass cart, just ordinary young and strong laborers, it just so happens that the construction corps is resting and waiting in Xingcheng Port, Zhu Cijiong directly ordered the transfer of 100,000 construction corps, which are all young and strong laborers, and they are just right to push the grain and grass carts.

Then, Mysore also has 50,000 elite cavalry of the First Legion of the Expeditionary Force, and now Mysore is equivalent to a large rear, so naturally there is no need for so many people to guard, Zhu Cijiong simply asked Kong Dede to take more than 10,000 defenders of Goa to Mysore to grieve first, and Goa City will be lent to the Ming Empire first.

In this way, there are almost enough people, and the next step is to assign duties.

Delhi is too far away, and Zhu Cijiong naturally will not go out with the army, so the first legion of the Praetorian Guard who stayed to guard Goa is none other than the most elite first-class legion of the Ming Dynasty.

Then, this escort of grain and grass is also an important matter, everyone discussed for a long time, and finally let the second-class legion Dongjiang Army be responsible for escorting grain and grass, which is basically foolproof.

Then, the defenders in the middle didn't need any elite troops, but it was better to have artillery, so Qin Yiming unfortunately won the lottery, because the Second Army of the Expeditionary Force under his command had artillery, while the Siamese Army commanded by You Shilu had no artillery.

The last remaining Tianxiong Army, the First Army of the Expeditionary Force and the Siamese Army are the offensive troops, and it just so happens that two first-class legions and one auxiliary legion can keep the two first-class legions full of energy at all times if they can contract all the miscellaneous work.

Everything was settled, and then we were ready to start a full-scale assault when the reinforcements arrived.

Ten days later, 50,000 soldiers of the First Expeditionary Force and 100,000 young laborers of the Construction Corps rushed to Goa one after another, and under Zhu Cijiong's order, Lu Xiangsheng directly led the Tianxiong Army, the First Expeditionary Army, the Second Expeditionary Force and the Siamese Army 400,000 horses to Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire.

On this way, it is called a broken bamboo, and there is basically no resistance along the line, because the main army of 200,000 of the Mughal Empire has been planted in Goa, and there are still 200,000 troops pinned down on the eastern front, and the remaining 200,000 will be stationed in the capital city of Delhi, and will be stationed in the western town of Kandahar, where people can also be dispatched to block the Ming army.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng is almost advancing at the speed of the march, the small cities of the Mughal Empire have no city walls, basically the Ming army has fled before the defenders have arrived, just kidding, hundreds of people against hundreds of thousands, you don't have to look for death; The only few big cities didn't bother much, basically set up a cannon for a fierce bombardment, and then the enemy surrendered in fear, no way, the black pressure outside the city was all the Ming army, thinking that they couldn't rush in it was a dream, if you resisted, rush in and don't kill you!

At this speed of advancement, the busiest is not the attacking troops, but the construction corps transporting grain and grass and the Dongjiang Army escorting grain and grass, these 200,000 people are called busy, either on the way to transport grain and grass, or on the way back to get grain and grass, basically there is no pause.

Why are they so busy? Because they not only have to transport the military rations of the soldiers on the front line, but also the rations of the hungry people along the way, Goa is a mountain of grain, and the civilians of the Mughal Empire along the way are hungry and the grass roots and bark are almost gnawed up!

Now Zhu Cijiong is really earning a crooked smile, a cart of grain is pulled out, but what is pulled back is a cart of real money, there are tens of millions of civilians along the way from Goa to Delhi, they don't know how many nobles they robbed, any commoner can shoot a gold brick, the gold brick mentioned here is not a small gold bar with the thickness of two fingers, but a real gold brick as big as a brick!
