Chapter 18: Preparations for the Expedition

In 1628 A.D.,

In the eighth year of the Apocalypse, in the case of Zhu Youxiao's efforts and Lu Yan's conquest outside,

Warat, Yarkand, Qinghai Tumut, and Zangba Khan quickly surrendered, and the future map of China has been restored.

There is also a piece of land in Mongolia,

Xinjiang border, Kazakh Khan abroad,

Dozens of miles of military tents are constantly emerging,

Feeling the threat from the Ming Dynasty, the Kazakh Khanate also continued to send domestic elites to rush there, and even the Russian Tsarist on the side was put aside.

Because once you despise the threat from the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be a catastrophe.

In the tent where the horses kept patrolling,

Lu Yan looked at a piece of information, which was full of congratulations from Zhu Youxiao,

A subtle smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and Lu Yan exhaled a turbid breath,

"Marshal, when are we going to attack?"

Walking quickly to Lu Yan's side, Cao Wenzhao showed an excited look on his face,

Because since he joined Lu Yan's command, he has never fought such a rich battle.

There are servant soldiers in the transport, and there are Japanese pirates in the charge, and they only need to drive the cavalry behind to pursue.

"Wait!"

Standing on the hill, Lu Yan looked at the world in the distance, and couldn't help but smile,

As early as when he settled Houjin, he was thinking about how to collect the national fortune,

Now it seems that we still have to fight to Europe and Asia,

The missionaries who had been snatched back had already begun to study the steam engine, and the first engine was completed.

Conquer such a vast territory, and you can't manage how to do it,

"Woo woo"

There was a roar from the trumpet, and the Kazakh Khanate in the distance was clearly ready to make a move,

Seeing the army attacking like a tide, Lu Yan turned his head sideways and said, "Give them some color!" ”

"Whoa!"

Countless soldiers gathered, flintlock pistols were clenched in their hands,

After the destruction of the Jin and Mongolia three years ago, they are now already warriors of a hundred battles.

"Zhu Yuan adjusts, cannons are ready!"

Waving the flag, the non-commissioned officer immediately shouted angrily,

"Wow!"

The cannon is raised, aiming the target in the distance,

"Put!"

With a reprimand, the flag waved forward,

"Boom, boom!"

When countless meteors tilted like a torrential rain, I saw a burst of fire in the Kazakh cavalry in the distance.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yan waved his hand indifferently,

"Forward!"

"Da Da Da!"

When the uniform footsteps sounded, I saw the soldiers raising their flintlock pistols and approaching forward,

Seeing this scene, the marshal of the Kazakh Khanate could not help but roar: "Rush in and entangle with them!" ”

To solve the threat from the artillery, the two sides must be staggered together to prevent the artillery from continuing to fire,

But before the marshal's words were finished, the sound of fried beans sounded in the distance,

When the Kazakh cavalry fell like wheat harvesting, I saw the Kazakh cavalry preparing on both flanks immediately shouting forward,

"Rush!"

For the sake of status, and the children of the tribe to live, they must fight for the Ming Dynasty,

Seeing the Cossack cavalry attacking, Cao Wenzhao in the distance was not to be outdone, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry under his command to assault,

What was originally a border confrontation turned into an encounter, and then it became annihilation.

When countless spear-wielding cavalry penetrated the formation, the marshal of the Kazakh Khanate knew that everything was over,

In May, under the all-round attack of the Ming Dynasty, the Kazakh Khanate did not hold out for even half a year, and it was completely destroyed.

This is now the Kazakh province, with five or six cities.

Feeling the huge logistical pressure, Lu Yan had to let Lu Meng start attacking the Safavid Empire from the sea, which is now the Middle East.

After receiving the order, Lu Meng first ransacked the coast with a huge fleet, and then took advantage of the maneuver to transport a large number of servant troops here.

When the Safa Empire was unable to resist, Lu Yan ordered Cao Wenzhao to lead 200,000 cavalry and servant troops to come.

The war lasted for two whole years, and until the tenth year of the apocalypse, the Safa Empire was still unable to be conquered.

Annoyed and angry, Lu Yan had to dispatch a large number of samurai from Wajima to implement the strategy of joint sitting.

When the warriors brandished the bloody butcher's knives in their hands, the Safavid Empire slowly stabilized and became the most important channel for the supply of the expeditionary force.

It can link the sea and land, so that the servant army does not have to come from the Ming Dynasty.

To solve the Safavid Empire, Lu Yan set his sights on the former Mughal Empire,

This is also the khanate that Genghis Khan once divided,

Facing Indian Ah San, Man Gui said that as long as there are hands,

The army rushed into the kingdom without hindrance, and even captured the king and queen under the leadership of the other party.

Seeing this scene, Cao Wenzhao, who encountered strong resistance in the Safavid Empire, called him an insider,

It's not a one-level opponent at all.

Successively captured the Kazakh Khanate, the Safavid Empire, and the Mughal Empire, and fought for three whole years, and even Lu Yan had to order repairs,

After entrusting this place to Liu Ling, he returned to Daming.

Daming, the capital, the palace of nourishing the heart,

Returning here, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a lot in his heart,

When he came, Zhu Youxiao was still jumping back and forth on the verge of death, but now he has gradually become the master of the empire.

With the help of the missionaries, Zhu Youxiao soon realized the inadequacy of the ancestral law.

The cutting of the feudal domain continued to be very hot a few years ago, and even the prince who wanted to learn from Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was not nothing.

It's a pity that just as the other party raised its troops, the brocade guard pointed the cannon at the gate.

The descendants of the Zhu family keep the title and the palace, but they are not there, and they can engage in various walks of life and participate in scientific research.

Under the strategy of forcing the princes to rebel, they confessed,

Because today's Ming Dynasty is not the appearance of the country a few years ago, but the trend of Zhongxing,

Outside, Lu Yan led the troops to stake around, and inside there was Wei Zhongxian holding a big knife, who dared to say one more word,

When the land was confiscated, there was still a lot of uproar in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were few rebels?

But what about people now? The grave is already two meters high!

"Your Majesty, long time no see!"

Walking into the hall, looking at a man in a bright yellow robe who was criticizing the recital, Lu Yan couldn't help but joke,

"It's Lu Qing, how is the war outside?"

Raising his head, Zhu Youxiao looked at Lu Yan, and his face couldn't help but show joy,

Because this is a loyal minister who will save the Ming Dynasty,

If it weren't for him capturing Houjin, subduing Nuer Gandusi, and pacifying Mongolia, Zhu Youxiao wouldn't know what to do.

"Everything is fine, we have conquered the three countries of Mughal, Kazakh, and Safavid!"

With an indifferent smile, Lu Yan couldn't help but explain,

"Is that so? What about the Ming Territory? ”

Looking at Lu Yan in shock, Zhu Youxiao was taken aback,

"It should have reached this point!"

Walking to the side of the map that had already been drawn, Lu Yan drew a line,

Standing in front of the map, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but exclaim,

Coupled with Lu Yan's territory on the sea, the entire Ming Dynasty has more than doubled compared to the original.

"Next, we have to fight towards Eastern Europe until the group knows that we are back!"

Looking at the dense Eastern European countries above,

Lu Yan couldn't help but smile on his face,

Looking at Lu Yan, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, because Lu Yan was fighting outside, he didn't need to worry about him as an emperor at all, even the military rations were prepared by himself, he just needed to manage the empire and send someone to take over by the way.

When the emperor and the eldest brother come to this position, he is also the first.
