"Your Majesty, is there anything else?" Xia Yujin asked.

Gao Junshan asked rhetorically: "Is our Chongwen College recruiting a new batch of girls?" ”

Xia Yujin didn't know what Gao Junshan meant by asking this, so he just replied mechanically: "Yes." ”

Gao Junshan said: "You go to them, select ten dignified girls, and conduct newspaper training." ”

"They are women, how can they be soldiers?" Xia Yujin exclaimed.

"Don't make such a fuss, what's wrong with the woman?" Gao Junshan criticized harshly, "Don't you know the story of Mulan's joining the army? ”

"That's just a legend."

Gao Junshan scolded: "Legend has it that you are big, that is true. You immediately recruit ten female soldiers for me to train! ”

"Yes!"

Gao Junshan said: "I not only want to recruit female newspaper soldiers, but also female medical soldiers and female cooking soldiers!" ”

……

Xia Yujin was worthy of being Gao Junshan's trusted disciple of Chongwen, and three months later, Gao Junshan's Western Expeditionary Army Headquarters welcomed 237 qualified newspaper soldiers, including ten beautiful female newspaper soldiers.

The First Army Division also completed its training and stood by in the Shijingshan area.

The 200,000-strong transport army organized by Shang Shufang Tingjian of the Logistics Department began the work of transporting materials a month ago. As the saying goes: the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved.

According to the original plan, Gao Junshan left 30 miniature transmitters to the military and general affairs bureaus in the capital, and 70 miniature transmitters were under the unified management of the newspaper office of the headquarters.

On April 18, 1646, Gao Junshan issued an order to the Western Expeditionary Army, and the First Army Division stationed in Beijing and the First Marine Brigade of the Navy stationed in Shenyang marched to Xinjiang at the same time.

The headquarters followed the First Army Division through Shaanxi, Gansu, and Qinghai and arrived at Kaklik in Xinjiang on 26 May. Abdullah Khan had already sent a liaison officer to wait for reinforcements at Kaklik.

According to reports from the Crimea, the Eastern Slavs have occupied Aksu, Kucha, Karasar, Turpan and other places.

"Bring me the map!" Gao Junshan ordered.

The map was spread out on the sand, and Gao Junshan crouched down to study the enemy's position.

"Where is Abdullah Khan now?" Gao Junshan asked Crime.

"Stop the Rakshasa legion on the front line of the Tarim River."

Paralyzed, Lao Tzu will come a few months late, and the whole of Xinjiang will be occupied by him, Gao Junshan scolded.

Gao Junshan asked Zhou Shichen beside him: "Where are my 1st Mixed Brigade and Mongolian Cavalry Division?" ”

Zhou Shichen replied: "I am on the way to Kacreek, and I can reach it tonight." ”

"Okay, order the troops to camp in place. Jiang Guorong immediately dispatched a reconnaissance detachment to reconnoiter in the direction of the Tarim River with a transmitter. Gao Junshan ordered, and then he said to the Crimea, "Please send a guide to guide the reconnaissance detachment." ”

Krimu said: "I was about to go back and give the order, so let me show you the way!" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Thank you so much! You get ready and set off with the reconnaissance detachment. ”

"It's all a family, no thanks!" Krimu said politely.

"You speak Chinese pretty well!" Gao Junshan said approvingly.

Krimu said modestly: "See the smile, laugh and laugh!" I'm just half a bucket of water. It was because I knew Chinese that Abdullah Khan asked me to come here. ”

"Good. With a general who understands Chinese, it will be easier for us to communicate. ”

"That's it."

Zhou Shichen asked on the side: "General Kerim, do you know who he is?" ”

"Isn't this our commander-in-chief?"

"The commander-in-chief is right, and he is also the emperor of our imperial expedition."

When Kerim heard that it was the emperor, he hurriedly put his right palm on his left chest, then leaned forward thirty degrees, and saluted: "Long live my emperor!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

Gao Junshan said: "In the barracks, you can just call me Commander-in-Chief." If you know Chinese, don't leave the headquarters, you send a few more brothers as guides. ”

"Yes!"

"Hey......!" Gao Junshan stretched out his hand to signal him to repeat.

"Obey!" Krimu changed his tune.

"That's right!" Gao Junshan smiled and nodded.

Krimu said: "The last general will go to find a few people. ”

Gao Junshan waved his hand and said, "Come back as soon as possible." ”

At this time, Deputy Chief of Staff Dai Zicheng came to report: "Commander-in-Chief, the temporary tent has been set up, please go to the tent to rest, there is a lot of wind and sand outside." ”

It is surrounded by thorny sand, and the stretching Kunlun Mountains stretch out in front of you to the south.

Gao Junshan was full of emotion, touched the scene, and couldn't help blurting out a poem by Wang Changling: "Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass." The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. ”

This poem, the generals around him are also very familiar, and they all feel the same way.

They are already in the Western Regions, and more than 100 miles west from here is the ruins of the ancient Loulan.

Walking into the tent, I felt the cold outside.

Gao Junshan put down the emperor's noble shelf and sat around with everyone, talking and laughing.

In the evening, the temperature is getting colder and colder, and bonfires are lit in the barracks, and songs and laughter are heard throughout the barracks.

"The Mongolian cavalry division is here!"

I don't know who shouted, and everyone fell silent, listening to the sound in the distance. Sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves came from the northwest, and the soldiers who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time knew that this was at least an army of tens of thousands of people.

That's right, this team is the Mongolian cavalry division, a Mongolian cavalry division of 30,000 people, and the division commander is Uliji.

The barracks were boiling all at once, everyone rushed out of the barracks to greet the Mongolian brothers, and the Mongolian cavalry officers and soldiers also dismounted and hugged the Han brothers.

Gao Junshan also stepped out of the tent to welcome the Mongolian warriors.

"Today, our Menghan brothers," Gao Junshan added, seeing the Crimean following behind, "and our Uyghur brothers have joined forces to drive the East Slavs back to their hometowns." ”

Someone shouted the slogan: "Drive the Eastern Slavs back to their homeland!" ”

As a result, the slogans of the Eastern Slavs resounded throughout the land of the Western Regions and shook at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains......

Just when the soldiers were enthusiastic, someone reported that the first mixed brigade had arrived, and the lively scene set off a climax again, the sky of Loulan seemed to be lit with a warm fireball, and the cold yellow sand was also beating enthusiastically......

All night, the soldiers cheered all night, cheering for the unity of the Han, Mongolian, and Uyghur nations, cheering for the strength of the Huaxia Kingdom, and cheering for the victory belief in defeating the Rakshasa Kingdom......

The next day, Gao Junshan ordered the whole army to rest for a day.

Fang Tingjian's logistics department was very good, and after dawn, the first batch of grain and grass was transported to Kaklik.

Kaklik is a small town, and there are not many Uyghur residents, and Gao Junshan pacified and propagandized them, and set up his headquarters in the town.

According to the call from the reconnaissance detachment, Gao Junshan basically learned about the military situation of the Rakshasa Kingdom in Xinjiang.

This invasion of Xinjiang was a regiment of the Southern Route Army of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the commander of which was Colonel Reinhardt, and this regiment had two regiments, a Reitel cavalry regiment and a dragoon regiment.

The Reitel cavalry regiment had twelve companies of one hundred and seventy-six men each; The dragoon regiments were also twelve companies per regiment, each with one hundred and twenty men.

The total strength of this legion was about 3,600 men.
