The Department of Suppression and Pacification is stationed in India in Qianhu, due to the needs of official business, this Ming Wei spy agency has not only injected a group of capable Han Jinyi Guards, but also set up an East India Intelligence Bureau, which has recruited about 400 local Indian personnel, including a large number of Sikhs, in addition, there are a small number of Malati, Indian natives, Bengalis, Punjabi, and Riya people who are close to the Han people, and these people have won the trust of the South Zhenfu Division after the most severe loyalty test. And was sent to various parts of India to collect intelligence, and then collected in a summary way to the intelligence bureau's analysis department, the analysis department archived a lot of information, selected a number of emergencies to submit to the thousand households, and finally the thousand households of the Jinyi Wei to carry out the cause and purpose of the emergency, write the conclusion and send it to the East India administrative and military agencies for their reference, in addition, all the information will be backed up, sent to the Nanjing town department headquarters for archiving.

As a result, the maximum number of 1,000 households in most areas is about 500 to 1,000, but the number of staff in the East India is more than 3,000, and even so, there are only about 100 people in the office of the 1,000 households near the governor's yamen in the new capital, and most of the rest are walking around India faithfully carrying out the work of espionage, rebellion, and cultivating pro-Han forces.

Zhou Mingjun, the official of the Thousand Households of the Thousand Households of the South Town Fu Division in the East Indies, was sitting in the main hall at this time, and was looking at a secret report, the content of the secret report was very simple, but it was sensational, according to the intelligence, the King of Sunk suddenly assembled a large army in the country, and recruited all the nobles' private soldiers to the unknown, and on the other side, a group of envoys had entered New Sichuan, and made a request for negotiation to the Governor of the East Indies.

The biggest problem now is to discern the authenticity of this source and submit it to the Governor of the East Indies, Yamen, the Governor of the Haidu Army, Zhang Youde, and the newly landed Indian Colonial Legion Commander Xu Dachang as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency.

A hundred-year-old walked in, saluted Zhou Jun, and then slowly paced to the desk.

"Fang Cheng, are you here? Sit down, there's a secret report for you to look at. Zhou Jun handed the secret report to the hundred households in Fangcheng.

Fang Cheng is one of the hundreds of households in the Thousands of Analysis Divisions, all of whom need to be identified by the Analysis Department to infer the truth and falsehood, after all, the Jinyi Wei below will not rack his brains to care about these things, and immediately submit the information after chasing the wind and shadows, so that the Analysis Department can bother with it. And Fang Cheng is obviously in the analysis department, under normal circumstances, most of the unimportant information is handed over to the subordinate Jinyi Wei to do, unless he encounters a major secret informant, he will not let him do it himself.

Fang Cheng immediately understood the weight of this report, and immediately looked at it solemnly, and then began to think about something with his eyes half-closed, and then said: "My lord, whether the information is true or not, it should be reported to all the officials and subordinates think that this information should be eighty percent true. ”

No, Zhou Jun asked, Fang Cheng had already spoken eloquently: "Although Scholar Yang allowed the barbarians to sue for peace, but after all, the conditions were too harsh, and the barbarian king now has only two ways to go, the first is to cut off his territory and hand over all his property, and the other way is to rise up and resist, after all, although the King of Sunk has suffered a heavy blow, he is not without the power of a blow." ”

Zhou Jun said thoughtfully: "But why did they send envoys again?" ”

Fangcheng is the birthplace of intelligence analysis. Hearing Zhou Jundi's question, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is naturally a cover-up." Darkness is a strategy. King Sunk is weak. Since there is going to be a war. Naturally, it is necessary to be opportunistic. It is likely that he sent an envoy to paralyze us. Let's think they are hell-bent on peace. Naturally, the guard was much more relaxed. At this time, stop the fight and strike. I'm afraid ......"

Zhou Jun nodded: "Understood." Fang Baihu means that. Immediately report to the yamen. Ready now? ”

"Without further ado." Fang Cheng's brows furrowed faintly. This information was sent at least three days ago. A lot can happen in three days. If it's a step too late. Maybe you're going to lose money.

Zhou Jun nodded: "You sit in the hall of a thousand households." I personally went to the Governor's Mansion to meet with Scholar Yang. ”……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The governor's palace was already filled with the presiding officers of the East Indies. The first place is Yang Side, whose face is pale. On the right are Zhang Youde, Xu Dachang and Wang Chang, the commander of the provincial capital. On the left is Wang Jinwang and the provincial political envoy, the supervision envoy and Zhou Jun of the Nanzhen Fusi Qianhu.

"Presumably, you have already received urgent information from Zhou Qianhu." Yang Side spoke slowly.

"Lord Yang, the barbarians have rebelled, and the last general and General Xu will each raise their troops and divide their troops into two ways, capture the barbarian king, and wait for the lord to fall." Zhang Youde's temper is not very good, after all, the barbarians are asking for peace in his hands, and he is also the one who has reported to the court and given opinions these days, and now King Sunke is playing the trick of Dark Chen Cang, which is obviously equivalent to playing him Zhang Youde, Zhang Youde now hates to peel the skin of King Sunke.

Xu Dachang's 80,000 mercenary corps has now all landed and is stationed outside the new city capital, and his courage has become much stronger, and he echoed: "The last general is willing to be a pioneer." ”

Yang Side was silent, it was nothing to slaughter the barbarian king, but the top priority of the imperial court now was to get a piece of uninhabited fertile land to establish a new province, and without the king of Sunke, then opening up a no-man's land was tantamount to empty talk, therefore, the problem now is not to kill the king of Xunke, but to give the barbarian a fatal blow, not only to beat hard, but also not to kill with a stick, Yang Side pondered for a moment: "Lord Wang, if there is a messenger from the barbarians, you are responsible for entertaining well, no matter what they say, you should agree, If you want to treat them as guests, you must not neglect them, let alone let the other party notice anything. ”

Wang Jinwang owed: "My lord, don't you want to plan it?" ”

Yang Side nodded, and then his eyes fell on Zhou Jun of Nanzhen Fusi Qianhu: "Zhou Qianhu, these days, you focus on putting people on this side and sending some people out, and keep an eye on some suspicious people in the city. ”

"The last will obey." Zhou Jun bowed his hand.

Yang Side took a sip of tea, but Zhang Youde couldn't sit still: "What should adults do?" The last general is confused. ”

Wang Jinwang said with a smile:

Just follow Lord Liu's instructions, there is a good show to watch. ”

Yang Side said slowly: "The emperor once said that General Zhang is more than loyal and brave, uh, cough cough...... Where is Zhang Youde, the governor of the Haidu Army. Yang Side originally wanted to say that he was more than loyal and brave, but his IQ was insufficient, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it and coughed and changed his serious face: "The Haidu Army is stationed ten miles away from the city, and Lord Li Dingguo, the chief of the general staff, will arrive tomorrow, and all the arrangements will be made by Chief of Staff Li, as well as General Xu Dachang, no one can spread today's affairs, do you understand?" ”

"Understood." Yang Side is a cabinet scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of War, and what Qin Cha said, everyone naturally agreed to it.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The next day, Li Dingguo arrived in Xinchengdu from Xinqiongzhou, and as soon as he was welcomed to the government office, he was welcomed into the governor's yamen by Yang Side, and the two discussed in the ear room for two whole hours, Li Dingguo's temporary staff headquarters also found the address, and within a morning, the five secret orders were passed out.

After another two days, the envoys of the King of Sunk finally arrived at their flattering that the governor of the East Indies personally went out of the city to greet each other, how friendly they were, and the envoys were relieved, and soon they found that the Han people were very atmospheric, and the task of these envoys was to paralyze the Han people, so they deliberately made some small entanglements with the conditions offered by the Han people, such as ceding half of the land was too much, whether it was possible to reduce a few cities, or perhaps the indemnity was too high, whether it could be reduced by a little bit. And their negotiator Wang Jinwang actually negotiated with a flickering attitude, so he also said very generously that there was no problem at all, as long as King Xunke took the Heavenly Dynasty as the right one, it didn't matter if he subtracted a few more cities and subtracted some indemnities, everyone was a brotherly country, friendly neighbors, and the friendly relations between the two countries were unbreakable.

Anyway, they know that these promises are false, and the confrontation that the envoys of the King of Sunk expected does not seem to have appeared, but the two sides of the negotiation are more in the negotiation table to describe the traditional friendship between the two sides, which is naturally not Wang Jinwang out of blindness, Wang Jinwang even brought the book, saying that two hundred years ago, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty had arrived near your country, and was warmly welcomed by your country. The 'Brotherly State' has begun to turn the pages of history again, looking for examples of friendship from hundreds of years ago.

The meeting talked about this, the satisfied messenger offered to leave, and said that the Ming Dynasty could come to receive the land at any time after a month, and before that, the king of Xunke would also personally deliver the indemnity delivery, and when parting, the envoy who was entertained even hugged each other with Wang Jinwang, and said goodbye to each other, Wang Jinwang was full of tears of friendship and sent it ten miles away, and then he returned in a hurry.

Along the way, the envoy even saw the camp of the Ming army, large and small scattered in the west of the new city, stretching for ten miles, to the surprise of the envoys, even the Ming army responsible for the vigilance could not see the shadow, occasionally a few out of the patrol is also in a hurry, the vigilance can not be said to be lax.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

King Sunk gathered in the forest twenty miles away from the border of the East Indies, and a full 200,000 Indian soldiers were ready to go, although these soldiers all had malnourished faces, lazily and could not lift their spirits, and even some of them could only be equipped with the most primitive wooden sticks and carry rattan cards, but King Sunk believed that if he attacked suddenly, he would have at least sixty percent of the hope of victory.

The only thing to do now was to wait, waiting for the envoy's return, to make sure that the Ming army was not at all guarded.

Several waves of spies who went in a hurry also came back, and the news he brought was quite satisfied, the entire Xincheng city was loosely defended, and obviously did not find any changes in the King of Sunke, and the King of Sunk gradually became cheerful, although his youngest son still fell into the hands of the Han people, but now the top priority is to solve the rule of these jackals to protect the family.

Pandit was originally against the attack, but now that the situation is stable and he has a lot of confidence, he reorganized the remnants of the elephant cavalry and the horse-drawn cavalry, although the scale is much smaller than the original, but the Sunk country finally has a main army.

A father and son were anxious to finally return to the other side of the border.

"O king, I am absolutely sure that the Han people do not know that our plans seem to be still waiting for us to cede the land and the indemnity to us The city is still prosperous, but there is not the slightest atmosphere of preparation for war, and their officials are full of joy, as if they think that the war is over, and it is time to harvest the king, please be bold and send your army to the barracks are loose in defense, there is no defense, I dare to guarantee that we will be able to achieve the final victory, Shiva bless us." The envoy told the father and son about what they had seen and heard in Xincheng, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Lord, please see that I signed the treaty with them, the Ming thought that he had made peace and was going to knock us hard, and I did not hesitate to sign my name, and the governor of the people who signed my name even maintained a very good friendship with me, they were by no means guarding against our barracks or even opened, and even the most basic patrols were extremely lax." The messenger took out a fine fold, pointed to the treaty drawn up in both Chinese and Indian scripts, and handed it to King Sunk.

King Sunk smiled mockingly, and without hesitation, tore the contract to shreds, in his opinion, these paper agreements were used to tear up: "Well, thank you for your hard work, you have done a great job for us." ”

King Sunk became more confident, he admitted that the Han army was a terrible opponent, but he did not think that a sleeping lion could be much of a threat to him, and he would swallow the lion even if it was an ant.

Pandit also showed a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time, didn't he? Now the Han people have no preparation, and his father has sharpened his knife and raised the butcher's knife, even if the Han people are powerful, he definitely does not believe that he can organize a counterattack in a panic, even if he organizes a counterattack, the advantage has already been on their side.

"Father, I think we can come out at any time

Cross the border and let the invincible lion taste our fists. Wu's body showed intertwined muscles, and he was full of vitality.

King Sunk's face then became a little decadent: "It would be nice if Rama Sejam was also here." ”

Pandit was immediately gloomy, he knew that the younger brother had always coveted him, and always thought that his father's partiality and jealousy had filled his whole body and mind, but Pandit was obviously much kinder than Rama Sejam, at least he did not want any accident to happen to his brother: "Father, as long as we are victorious, we will have enough prisoners in exchange for your son, my dearest brother." ”

King Sunk nodded and cheered up: "Inform all the soldiers that they will rest for the night tonight and set off tomorrow." ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The morning fog did not dissipate, and the black and oppressive team on the ground began to gather into a stream of people to move quickly in the direction of the East Indies, and all the Indian native soldiers received orders, whoever can reach the battlefield first, then they will get a piece of land, and there are enough silver coins, these rewards are still quite attractive for them, therefore, everyone began to work hard with the battle flags of the captains, thousands, and centurions, all over the mountains and fields, endlessly.

"Forward, our enemy is still fifty miles away from us, and must arrive before dark to deal them a fatal blow." Refreshed, Pandit found that the long border was not patrolled by any Han Chinese soldiers, and the occasional patrol of Indians was quickly approached by the Marati cavalry and their heads were cut off.

This is a good sign, the Han people are stupid pigs, actually believe the words of the wise Malati, they don't know, the Malati are the most intelligent and wise race on the Indian continent, Pandit's self-confidence has finally fully recovered, he has gradually forgotten the fierce battle a month ago, the cut wound is scarred, no more bloodshed, no longer any pain, what he wants most now is to crush the invincible Han army, restore his honor, wash away his shame.

"Pandit." Sunk frowned, riding the white horse of the divine steed, he was not satisfied with the current speed of the march: "These slaves and untouchables are too slow, if this continues, we haven't launched an attack yet, the Han people are ready, there is not much time left, do you understand?" ”

Pandit rode his horse closer to the king: "Okay, I'll go first with the cavalry, and after I crush them, the rest will be up to my father." ”

For example, the remaining elephant cavalry and Marati cavalry did not exceed 10,000 people, but it was enough for Pandit, and he believed that it was enough to suddenly give a blow to the unsuspecting Ming army, and when the Ming army was in disarray, the ensuing infantry quickly divided and surrounded the Ming army, and even though the losses would be heavy, the balance of victory would still be tilted in favor of the great Sunk family.

The horn whined, and the cavalry who heard the horn began to break away from the ranks and assemble towards the banner of Pandit. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Xinchengdu, the originally quiet atmosphere suddenly became tense, the Han people who returned to the land began to rush to the city again, the entire new Chengdu ban suddenly became strict, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, the city gate was closed tightly without warning, and on the female wall, a face full of murderous intent was revealed.

In the barracks outside the city, it looked as usual, there were only a few soldiers in the whole camp, and the camps had not yet risen, the campfires in the camps had been extinguished, and the ethereal smoke rose into the sky, and everything was quiet and terrible.

Johansen sat in the front camp, his eyes were very melancholy, yes, he had been so since he had received the assignment from the Chief of Staff yesterday, for he and his three thousand men were to sit in this empty barracks that stretched for ten miles, and according to the Chief of the General Staff, his task was to decoy, that is, to lure the barbarians into raid.

Johansen knew that when the barbarians attacked the empty barracks, as long as the British could defend for half an hour, that is, an hour, the Ming troops hiding nearby would come from all sides, surrounding, cutting, and eating the last bite of this group of shameless barbarians.

Johansen is not an idiot, all this is just a plan, there is always a gap between the plan and reality, maybe a little gap, will cost him and the lives of the soldiers, he is worried that if the encircled Ming army is one step late, then what will be the consequences?

Johansen smiled wryly, and his soldiers apparently did not think so, they were digging trenches with shovels and shovels in high spirits, this was a way of fighting for the Ming army, very effective, especially for the enemy's bows and javelins, now Johansen had become a conscientious contractor, with a harsh eye to check which sections were completed, for him, this poor line of defense was also their last line of defense, if the slightest problem went wrong, then his soldiers would become the target of barbarian slaughter.

Johansen sighed, and he even thought that if he hadn't rushed to help in the battle, he probably wouldn't have encountered today's trouble, right? After all, this is the core of the Daming Army and the General Staff, although he does not belong to that general staff, but in order to maintain the traditional friendship between the two countries and the loyal commitment to the allies, he can only do it hard.

"Boy, aren't you breastfeeding? Dig deeper, or you'll look good. Frustrated, Johansen began to find a target to vent on, and a soldier who had cut corners was caught by him, and he tried to jump into the unfinished trench to kick the soldier in the ass, but his lieutenant stopped him.

"Your Excellency, please don't do this, war is coming." The adjutant's reason is very pale and effective, after all, although the consequences of kicking a soldier before the battle are not serious, it will inevitably affect the soldier's mood, the poor soldier is going to be cannon fodder, maybe he will sleep forever after this battle, why give them psychological pressure?
