Abbas II's first prime minister, after learning about the strong fighting power of the Oriental elite, also corrected his past policy, and shortly after returning to the army, he personally sent a surrender letter, expressing his willingness to accept the reduction of the army and hand over more than two-thirds of the cost of the entire army to the empire as taxes. At the same time, he was willing to accept all the requirements of the Eastern Emperor.

However, at this time, Xiao Xuan was not moved, but in the past few months, he used all over Europe to draw a lineup that had never been seen since the Taixi Rebellion. In addition to the core elite led by Xiao Xuan, a total of about 250,000 standing forces stationed in various parts of the European continent were mobilized from all directions and launched an unprecedented march.

Of course, on the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. Now that the whole of the East has almost eliminated most of the decent opponents in the main civilization areas, and the rebellion in the entire Taixi area has long been successful, it seems that the powerful forces have already suppressed the resistance of various places at this time, and are fully capable of drawing forces of this scale.

However, the concentration of such a large force, which also includes most of the major generals on land and at sea, and more importantly, the concentration of troops on one road rather than on multiple routes seems to be completely inconsistent with some of the basic principles of warfare in the past. Because from the past wars against internal chaos to overseas expeditions, Xiao Xuan never seems to advocate the scale system, and the limited resources are always focused on as few troops as possible.

"If we say that when we were facing strong and numerous opponents during the Western Expedition, there was still a need to concentrate a large number of troops. But now that it is extraordinary, how can the Persian dynasty be compared to the entire Tessie back then? What exactly is your lord trying to do? ”

"Maybe there wasn't much of an attempt, but maybe it was just trying to take the whole of Persia down. The concentrated march, in the final analysis, will eventually carry out separate clean-up operations against various places... ”

In the process of gathering the army, many people seemed to feel something extraordinary. What Xiao Xuan didn't fully expect at this time was that the team's previous two amazing combat performances on the coast of South Russia and even in the Ottoman hinterland also shocked many people to a large extent. So that many people who were originally about to move did not dare to take action at this time.

In this way, the large group finally gathered on the eastern shore of the Black Sea in a place that did not seem too suitable for a large army.

Moreover, according to the arrangement, the deployment and arrangement of the large battalion have also undergone great differences and changes from those in the past. In the past, even the non-elite and non-personal forces in the army, if it were not for local security or militia forces, the average camp area for 10,000 people was at least about one square mile when they were camped. However, the area of the 200,000-odd army companies and camps gathered now is only about five square miles, and the barracks are next to the barracks, and according to the order, except for the outermost decent barriers, most of the camps have not yet built decent fortifications. Not to mention, the contingent of militia from other places of about 10,000 people, who had arrived quickly under the order, rode horses and collected a lot of equipment used by the team for fortification work as quickly as possible. Spare gunpowder, artillery and even ammunition were completely taken over.

It was only at this time that many people understood: this was not to concentrate troops on an expedition to Persia, but to carry out a purge of the assembled garrisons. If it were a normal situation, I am afraid that at this time, many people would begin to agitate for the military to rebel. However, Xiao Xuan's completely unusual achievements and even prestige still curbed the possibility of most people trying to make trouble in this situation. However, at this time, there were also some small-scale camps.

Dealing with this "old style", Xiao Xuan is not soft at all. Soon the troublemakers were gathered and subjected to severe screening and interrogation, and some of them were executed, and thousands of heads were piled up for public display. At the same time, the elite forces led by Xiao Xuan also began to surround the concentrated garrisons from all directions in this situation, from the land direction. The ships at sea that had just taken over were also ready to open fire at this time.

Obviously, the fundamental purpose of Xiao Xuan's expedition this time was not to solve the remaining opponents in the Middle East who were not a threat at all. Rather, it is to clean up the entire system of governance from Tessy to the middle of the river.

If before the expedition, Xiao Xuan only judged that there might be a lot of economic problems from the too few benefits conveyed, then since the coastal war in South Russia and even in the process of attacking the Ottomans, it can be determined that not only economic problems exist, but there may even be serious problems of collaborating with the enemy. To achieve this under today's military system, it is not enough for a few generals to have that determination, as in the old army in the past, but also necessarily involves a wider range of junior officers.

In this way, on the shores of the Black Sea, a large-scale screening and questioning unfolded. Three-quarters of the thousands of platoons and more than three-quarters of the officers above the platoon rank of the entire 200,000-odd Tessie garrison were replaced to a large extent by those selected from among the new immigrants. Among them, artillery, baggage, combat engineers, etc., almost all of the positions of officers in key positions in the military system are selected by the new guards battalion.

Under strong pressure, there were no problems during the entire process of replacing the upper layer. After about half a month of training and running-in, the control of the army changed hands, and many problems that were difficult to perceive before surfaced more and more at this time.

It turns out that in order to avoid the leakage of information, not only the officer level of the entire garrison system, but also the grassroots level also have one or another drawback. Of course, collaborators are not the mainstream, but the scope of the impact is not small. Hundreds of officers from the grassroots level to the top and even more than 10,000 soldiers were referendum for this reason, and about one-third of the officers and soldiers involved in the case were transported away by newly transferred sea ships.

Not only that, but many contradictions accumulated in the garrison in the past have also been rectified in this comprehensive purge. According to the results of this large-scale cleaning investigation. In the past six years, a total of tens of millions of taels of hard currency and even hundreds of thousands of women have been redistributed to the public. The management of the artisan system throughout continental Europe and the Tessie region has also been largely replaced. The whole cleaning and investigation lasted for nearly two months or so before it gradually came to an end.
