After Zhenzhen Hewei had Zhu Cijiong in charge, the speed of progress in various affairs in northern Xinjiang has increased amazingly, not that Zhu Cijiong's ability is much stronger than Sun Chengzong's, but that Zhu Cijiong has more resources than Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong is only in charge of Liaodong, but Zhu Cijiong holds the entire Ming Dynasty!

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, what does the Chongzheng Emperor Zhu Cijiong do, who dares to slacken.

As soon as he sent out a holy message, early the next morning, Cao Bianjiao led the first regiment of the frontier army to Zhenzhen Hewei, and in the afternoon, the Tianxiong army stationed in Beidaying also arrived, and the number of Ming troops in Zhenzhen Hewei suddenly increased to nearly 500,000.

Early in the morning of the third day, there was another legion arriving, but this time it was not the Ming native legion, but the Korean legion led by You Shiwei, the railway between the Ming and the vassal state of Korea had already been built, and under the plea of the king of Joseon, the Ming Dynasty even directly helped them to repair the railway to the southernmost Jeolla Right Road and Gyeongsang Left Road, of course, this is also for the subjects of Dongying to come to Daming to make it easier.

As for Dongying, not to mention, the current king is Zheng Chenggong's younger brother Tagawa Nanazaemon, with the favor of the empress dowager of the two palaces, as long as his requirements are not too excessive, Zhu Cijiong will not dare to disapprove.

That kid is a ghost, if he dares not to agree to his request, he really went to the Forbidden City to complain to the two queen mothers, that guy, Zhu Cijiong didn't want to make Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Dowager Ren angry, so he could only come by his temperament.

Therefore, now the railways and ports in Dongying are also very developed, and they are not even worse than the Ming Dynasty.

No, on the afternoon of the third day, the 1st and 2nd Dongying Corps arrived, and they were directly taken to the port at the southern tip of Korea by the Beiyang Naval Division and the Beihai Fleet, and then came by train.

This is still because the Beiyang Naval Division and the Beihai Fleet were delayed for one day, and the transshipment at sea was delayed for another half day, otherwise they would have even arrived before the Korean Army.

However, Tagawa Nanazaemon is also quite good at inviting pets, he heard the news that Zhu Cijiong was going to gather a million troops in northern Xinjiang, not only sent people over, but also sent grain and dried seafood to and fro, Zhu Cijiong was also quite pleased with this, and finally did not hurt this kid in vain.

Isn't it said that the Dongying of later generations is very short of resources, and everything has to be purchased, how can it still support the production of grain and grass?

In fact, the population of Dongying is not as exaggerated as that of later generations, and the land is not as tight as that of later generations, coupled with the agricultural technical support of the Ming Dynasty, they still have plenty of food.

With the 300,000 troops of the vassal state, the construction speed of this railway has been significantly accelerated, and under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the leadership of the Liaodong Tunwei, the progress is simply superb, even if it is a mountainous area, it can be repaired for twenty or thirty miles a day!

Immediately afterwards, the rails, steel, cement and other bridge repair and paving materials sent by the capital were delivered in a steady stream, and the grain and grass collected from all over the country were also sent day and night, and the railway station of Zhenzhen Hewei even appeared in the queue, not people queued, but the train queued, there were too many trains gathered here, and there were countless materials of all kinds, and the original two platforms could not be unloaded at all.

Zhu Cijiong had to order someone to step up the expansion of the four suggested platforms, and transferred the capable officials of the household department to be responsible for scheduling, and even ordered Wu Sangui to lead the Henan Reserve Corps to act as porters, so that the blockage at Zhenzhen Hewei Railway Station was slowly eased, otherwise, the queued trains could even go all the way to Liaodong!

The 500,000 troops gathered in Zhenzhen Hewei were not idle, and while practicing, Lu Xiangsheng also arranged various tasks for them.

The infantry mainly went to cut wood and quarry, build military camps, in the Zhenzhen Hewei assembled the 500,000 troops, there were nearly 400,000 infantry, the efficiency is quite amazing, not only the materials for building the military camp are enough, they have all the sleepers and gravel for building the railway, and even Lu Xiangsheng asked them to build a temporary palace for Zhu Cijiong.

Zhu Cijiong has never objected to this, why should he pretend to be high if he can live comfortably? Besides, he won't keep tyrannizing this temporary palace, and when he finishes living and leaving, he will generally give it to the officials in the station as a mansion, anyway, if you don't build it for them, they will also think about building it, so it's better to build it yourself and give it to them, saving them from making mistakes.

As for the cavalry, Lu Xiangsheng arranged for them to transport grain and grass to Manjingwei in batches, and the garrison on Manjingwei's side and the labor force of repairing the cemetery added up to almost 100,000 people, plus nearly 100,000 war horses, the consumption of grain and grass was also quite amazing, and if civilian transportation was arranged, more than 100,000 people would be recruited, and safety and time issues had to be considered.

If you use cavalry to send it, you don't have to think about anything, the equipment of the cavalry, no matter what bandits and robbers see them, they will only want to escape, and there is no such thing as robbery or looting; With the assistance of the horses, the delivery speed is also very fast, and it can definitely arrive within ten days, so there is no need to worry about mistakes.

Of course, the cavalry is not only doing this kind of miscellaneous work, including the cavalry of the Manjing Guard, Lu Xiangsheng has assigned them a more important task, that is, to the north and west to investigate the terrain and enemy intelligence.

For this reason, Zhu Cijiong also specially asked Wang Zhengnan to transfer a large number of Jinyi Wei spies to investigate with the cavalry, and Cao Wenzhao was also sent by Lu Xiangsheng to Manjingwei, specifically responsible for arranging reconnaissance horses.

The progress of nearly 200,000 cavalry and thousands of Jinyi Guard's secret agents is also quite amazing, and the sand table model in the west and north of Manjingwei is gradually expanding, and it can expand by at least two or three inches every day, and the distance converted to reality is hundreds of miles!

The speed of the formation of the loyal army is also quite amazing, in less than ten days, the 100,000 capable people mobilized by the six reserve corps are all in place, the weapons and equipment provided by the Ministry of Industry have also been delivered, and all kinds of baggage are even more wanted, and the war horses have also been transported directly from the Monan grassland, and the speed of the assembly of personnel and materials is simply astonishing.

Half a month later, Yang Zhong had even trained the loyal and brave army decently, and there was no problem directly pulling them to the battlefield.

At this time, the million army is almost all in place, and the army of 600,000 vassal states has all been put into the construction of the railway, under the guidance and supervision of the Ministry of Industry, the railway from Zhenzhen Hewei to Manjingwei has been built more than half, and in half a month, it will be opened to traffic!

Tsarist Russia was still in the dark at this time, they knew that the attack on the Ming Empire must have stabbed the hornet's nest, but they didn't know that the gathering speed of the Ming army was even more terrifying than the hornet, they thought that it would take at least two or three months for the Ming Empire to make an effective response, but they didn't know that it was less than a month, and the Ming Empire was almost ready!

Zhu Cijiong received reports from all sides, and immediately sent a telegram to the capital, asking Qin Gongming, Qin Yiming, and Ma Xianglin to hurry to Zhenzhen Hewei for a meeting.

With all the men and horses gathered, the construction of the railroad nearing completion, and the accumulation of grain and grass into an endless ocean, it is time to discuss the details of the action to raise the army for revenge.

Dare to provoke the Ming Empire, I want you to see how terrifying the Ming Empire is!
