On the outskirts of the Acropolis, train station.

Accompanied by the roar of trains, a large number of soldiers were transported to the front.

This army is not ordinary, it can be called the five military battalions and the Shenji battalion among the three main battalions of the Ming army.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is Hami in front, and the Duke of Jun Guo is already waiting!"

Among the special carriages, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and Chen Ying, the prince of Yasukuni, accompanied him, and among them was the ten-year-old crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen.

"Yu Shangshu, Yasukuni Gong, can we see my father?"

Zhu Jianshen was wearing a python robe, and his face was full of expectation.

Dad threw himself in Jingshi, and he left for a year, and he also took the Academy of Sciences away.

Those cultural relics and ministers in the court and the central government only play things and discuss matters every day, and never play with themselves.

Sometimes when I encounter some scientific problems, I want to ask someone for advice, but I can't find anyone.

He misses his father and his master Tong Xuan very much.

After the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion returned to Beijing, Chen Ying truthfully reported the brilliant achievements overseas, and informed the prince and his ministers that the emperor personally led 3,000 battalions to return to the dynasty from the Western Regions.

Immediately after that, Hamiwei's telegram arrived.

The emperor passed through Tehran and officially went to war with the Timurid Khanate.

At this time, the crown prince of the DPRK was in charge of the country, and the auxiliary ministers were Yu Qian, Cao Nai, Zhang Yi and others.

Let's do it!

The emperor has been beaten by people, what else is there to consider?

Another reason is the surplus of arms.

The imperial court consumes hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the research and development and production of arms every year, and this thing is renewed every year, and it can only be seen in the warehouse as it rusts and becomes a pile of scrap metal.

At this time, it is necessary to consider the problem of consumption.

There are only two ways to consume such a stockpile of munitions:

Or, sold.

Or, war!

Arms sold in the name of the Imperial Court can only be sold to neighboring vassal states, not to hostile countries, right?

However, these countries don't need too much weapons and equipment, because with the backing of the Ming Dynasty, if they are invaded, the Ming Dynasty will definitely take action.

Since it can't be sold, it's only a war.

How to fight the war and where to fight it are all particular.

If there is a country thousands of miles away, with barren land and scarce resources, and only three or five fishing boats, but shouting every day that it wants to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, should such a place go on an expedition?

Fools go there!

The choice of the object of war, either for land or resources, must always have enough in return.

The cannonballs made of real money are thrown over, and you can't even see a lump of bird droppings, so you can be lonely?

Not to mention the geographical location of the Timurid Khanate, not to mention the vast land and rich mineral resources buried underground, these are enough to start a war just because of the Silk Road to the Western Regions.

Daming has abundant products and extremely developed industry, and the goods produced have tended to be in surplus, and there is an urgent need for new dumping places for products and raw material procurement.

As long as the Silk Road is reconnected, all problems will be solved.

As for the Timurid Khanate......

Of course, Daming still tends to win-win cooperation, everyone earns money and is happy together.

However, if you are not willing to cooperate and send troops to fight our emperor, then you can't help it!

In this way, Zhu Jianshen, the prince of the prison state, issued a document on the conquest of prisoners, announced to the world, and personally led the army to the expedition.

At the same time, the two edicts were issued in Uszang and the Qihe region in the northwest.

King Ning, who was stationed in Uszang, and Totobuhua, who had just taken the Qihe region, reorganized their troops and horses and set out to conquer Timur.

At this time, Timur Khan Ab Saiza did not know that Masuhu and Bukhara were not delayed on the road, but could not come at all!

Whether it was the Ningwang Department of Wusizang or the Tatar Department of the Qihe region, they were the regular army of the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of weapons and equipment, it is naturally not comparable to 3,000 battalions, but it is enough to torture and kill Timur's army.

In the face of the menacing main force of the Ming army, Bukhara chose not to hold out, delaying time in the name of negotiations, and being prepared to surrender at any time.

Ma Suhu's situation was similar, he was facing the Tatar Ministry, which belonged to the poorly armed unit of the Ming army, and the pressure was slightly less.

However, there is news from the front that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty has arrived in Hami.

When he received this news, Ma Susu's mentality collapsed directly.

The promised million-strong army attacked Tehran, why did it suddenly become surrounded by enemies everywhere and soldiers descended on the city?

He was tempted to abandon his garrison and, on the orders of Abu Saiza, return to defend Herat.

However, he knew very well that if he withdrew at this time, the Ming army would no longer have any resistance, and the army would drive straight into the hinterland of the Khanate, and when the time came, the troops would still not be able to change the outcome.

Thinking about it, it was Bukhara that made the smartest choice.

Hehe, we are working the front line, and all good things can't be taken by you alone, so let's negotiate too!

Moreover, your negotiation object is the King of Da Ming Ning, and I am directly facing the prince of the prison state, even if I surrender, I can get more than you!

At this time, the most important thing is to save your life, and forget the loyalty of the khanate.

In order to show his sincerity, Ma Suhu directly sent his son Ali Buge to envoy Hami.

Chen Mao, the Duke of Junguo, received the news and immediately met with the prince to explain the situation.

"Yu Shangshu, what do you think?"

Zhu Jianshen didn't have any ideas, so he had to cast a look at Yu Qian for help.

Yu Qian saluted and said: "I think I can test the other party's true intentions." ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhu Jianshen rolled his eyes and asked, "Who is going to test?" ”

"Hamiwei is the territory of the Duke of Junguo, and it should be met by the Duke of Junguo."

"Yu Qian, don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Mao suddenly became anxious and defended: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, Hami is the land of the Ming Dynasty, how did it become the territory of the old man?" ”

Yu Qian had no choice but to say: "Don't be impatient, I mean, you are the chief official here, and you should come forward to negotiate, no problem, right?" ”

Chen Mao snorted and said, "You are idle as a secretary of the military department!" ”

Seeing this, Zhu Jianshen said: "In this case, there will be Lao Jun Guogong!" ”

Chen Mao hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Highness is polite, this is a matter within the old minister's responsibility, but how to determine the bottom line of the negotiation, please ask Your Highness to order." ”

Zhu Jianshen smiled and said: "My father said, let me ask you for advice if I have something, the negotiation between the two armies is a big matter, I don't understand, it's better for the Duke of Jun to decide for himself!" ”

Chen Mao was speechless, you are the prince of the prison country, even if you really don't understand, you can't say it in front of people so grandly!

"It's better for the old minister to test it first, and then make plans."

Zhu Jianshen nodded and said, "Yes, the Duke of Jun Guo can act when he sees the opportunity." ”

Chen Mao saluted again: "The old minister retires!" ”
