The wolf smoke has subsided, and the song of triumph has been played.

After finishing the relevant affairs of Nanyang, Huang Xu returned to the court.

Along the way, he was like an arrow, and he couldn't wait to fly home, so he was so fast that he arrived in Beijing in a few days.

When he returned to Beijing, Huang Xu saw his wife and children, and the warmth flowed all over his body in an instant, and the fatigue of many days was suddenly relieved a lot.

In the days that followed, Huang Xu completely lost the government to several military ministers, and he himself lived a happy life with his wife and children.

And such a day with his family, so that Huang Xu's heart is very steady, there is a down-to-earth feeling, he also enjoys this kind of time, before, he always said to his two wives that if they are old, he will take their hands to return to the mountains and forests, talk about poetry and painting, and live a life like a fairy couple, and now they are living such a day, it can be regarded as a feeling in advance.

He wished that time like this could go more slowly.

But it's a pity that this kind of day can only be a luxury for Huang Xu now.

No, he had only been at peace for a few days, and an urgent message from the cabinet arrived, saying that several military planes had confidential and important matters to report to the emperor.

Huang Xu was very annoyed in his heart, he wanted to scold his mother, he had only been quiet for a few days, and then he had troubles coming to the door, he really wanted to scold these henchmen sometimes, why couldn't they let themselves steal a few days of leisure, there was always something to bother him.

However, when he turned his head and thought about it, he was also relieved, if it wasn't for something big, these henchmen wouldn't have come here to find him, there must be something big happening, so they would be in such a hurry. To put it bluntly, everyone is for the country and the people, which is understandable and should be understood by each other.

Therefore, Huang Xu's idle days can only end early.

When he returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion, several military ministers had been waiting for a long time.

Thereupon. Huang Xu asked directly what was the matter.

Several confidant ministers exchanged glances, and then Zhao Xiaofeng roughly explained the outline of the matter.

It turned out that the Indians were making trouble at the border.

India? As soon as Huang Xu heard that it was India, he immediately raised his vigilance, in Huang Xu's impression, although India is not a powerful country, but it is a real big country, which is not comparable to Nanyang, only the historical and cultural connotation of thousands of years it has, and it is not comparable to a small place like Nanyang. Moreover, its territory is vast, its population is large, and its potential is quite terrifying.

Not only these, but India also has a very feared place, that is, it has a powerful suzerain, Britain, a world-class hegemon. And Britain has always regarded India as its backyard and the main source of wealth, so. In order to protect these powers, Britain has always stationed heavy troops in India, of course, the strength of British troops in India is far from comparable to that of the British troops in China during the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the strength of the British troops in India is much stronger.

Therefore, a war with India would be equivalent to an all-out war with Britain. It is equivalent to challenging the hegemony of this empire on which the sun never sets in the world, which must be unacceptable to Britain, so the Chinese Empire must also be psychologically and otherwise prepared for war with the British Empire before preparing for war with India. It's a must.

Of course, the Indian colonial government itself should not be underestimated, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and this is not just a camel, but an elephant, and the tonnage is not small, which really needs attention.

Although India does not have the right of autonomy for the time being, and is still under the rule of England, it is a veritable colony, but it is an indisputable fact that India has a large land area, a total of 13 provinces, a large population, and relatively rich resources.

So, now we must get her while she is still asleep.

It was precisely on the basis of these factors that Huang Xu and the military planes went through repeated consultations, arguments, and finally decided to fight against India.

This was a very bold and extraordinary decision, and if India could be taken smoothly, it would be tantamount to bringing the whole of the East under the control of the Chinese Empire.

Then, Huang Xu's dream of world empire will also take the most solid step forward.

Of course, if it fails, Huang Xu's dream of becoming a world power will also face a big blow.

Therefore, this battle is not a battle, and the war is to be won, and it is a sure victory, and Huang Xu and his brothers and subordinates firmly believe that China will win!

Once a decision is made at the top, a powerful state apparatus is set to work efficiently.

The collection of intelligence, the collection of soldiers, the allocation of war funds, and the reserve of war materials are all carried out in an orderly manner, after all, this time the opponent is different, and it is likely that they will face a protracted war, so they have to make full preparations.

Moreover, although the strength of the Indian colonial coalition army is not strong, after all, it is a large number, which cannot be underestimated, and more importantly, India also has more than 200,000 well-equipped and well-trained British troops, although compared with the huge Chinese army, the number is not large, but the threat is very great, it is the most important and most powerful opponent in China's war against India.

And this qiē shows that this is an extraordinary opponent, and every qiē must be done carefully.

But then again, India belongs to the territory of England, and fighting against India is fighting against Britain, that is, fighting against Britain, and fighting against Britain, Huang Xu likes it, in Huang Xu's heart, there is nothing more interesting to him than defeating Britain, the world hegemon.

And after the ideological unity, the next step is the actual military deployment.

The Taiping army almost poured out this time, except for a part of the forces left to defend everywhere, all other mobile forces that could be mobilized were transferred out.

Huang Xu's preliminarily scheduled attack route was to attack in two directions.

One route entered India through Xinjiang, called the Western Route Army, the main general - Tian Xiaoer, the deputy general - Dongfang Bufu, the generals of the army were Cui Min, Bao Ping'an, Lu Qingtian, Yu Yilong, Duan Yihu, Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, Luo Xuan, Li Shixian, Wei Jun, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, the military division of the army, Zhuge Blowing the lamp, the total strength of 500,000.

Tian Xiaoer and Dongfang Bufu have been promoted to the military ranks of commander and deputy commander respectively after fighting against North Korea, and the military rank of Tian Xiaoer, the commander, is basically the same as that of the infantry commander of Bao Ping'an.

The other way is to enter India through Burma, called the East Route Army, the main general - Zeng Guofan, the deputy general - Zuo Zongtang, the generals of the army are Hu Linyi, Luo Zenan, Peng Yulin, Zeng Guohua, Zeng Guoquan, Zeng San, Li Yuandu, Luo Bingzhang, Liu Kunyi, Jiang Zhongyuan, Hu Sier, and the military division - Li Hongzhang, who also led 500,000 troops.

And the establishment of the army, Huang Xu adopted Zeng Guofan's opinion, from the twelve main army corps of the Taiping Army respectively transferred the most elite forces, and then carried out a mixed arrangement, basically disrupted the original corps establishment, adopted a new establishment, in order to balance the combat effectiveness of the army, and the commander of the army and the deputy corps and other main generals are also temporarily deployed according to the needs of wartime, in actual combat is not necessarily the commander of the original corps of the soldiers, in this way, it is conducive to the commander to directly command the corps to fight.

In short, this is a new attempt.

The two armies are expected to march together, and finally meet in New Delhi, the capital of India.

In addition, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Huang Xu also mobilized the reserves, with a total strength of 500,000 troops, and he personally served as the commander, deputy generals - Lu Bo, Yu Zhendong, Guan Tang, and the generals of the army included Yang Yiqing, Zhu Yidian, Fu Zhongxin, Military Counselor, Zhao Xiaofeng.

In addition to these arrangements, Huang Xu also made some other appointments, such as Wang Xiaoyong as the Beijing division to stay behind, Liu Yuhua and Yao Dahong as the general logistics dispatcher, responsible for the allocation and arrangement of all the grain, grass, and military materials.

In short, before and after, Huang Xu was fully prepared.

On the whole, in this war, the Taiping Army mobilized a total of about 1.5 million troops, almost all the mobile forces that could be mobilized.

Huang Xu and his think tanks are planning to complete the battle, preparing to capture India in one fell swoop with a sweeping posture.

When the army was ready, it set out separately and entered India in batches according to the deployment. (To be continued......)
