,!
When they arrived at Zhongdu, these two people and the entire Khwarezm Kingdom delegation were stunned by the majestic scale of Zhongdu City.
It's no wonder that Su Yonglin is indeed running Zhongdu towards becoming the world's largest city.
The majesty of the capital is enough to show the powerful national power of the Ming Dynasty to everyone outside, and has the effect of defeating others without fighting.
Therefore, people from the Khwarezm State Mission said that this was the most majestic and largest city they had ever seen, and what they saw after entering the city surprised them even more, just like when Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.
From this, they concluded that the Ming Dynasty must be a super powerful country.
There is economic power and military power. If the two are combined into one, they can definitely push Xiliao to an equal level. They can definitely make Yelu Pu stop that arrogant woman to kneel down and sing the song of conquest!
This wave of alliances is headed!
Seeing their expectant looks, Su Yonglin started to think.
Join forces to deal with Xiliao?
This was indeed part of his plan.
Xiliao occupies the land of the Western Regions, occupies an important transportation route from the Western Regions to Central Asia, and occupies the important Pamir Plateau.
For Su Yonglin, this is an important strategic highland. Taking Xiliao will complete the Ming Dynasty's western defenses, project his influence to Central Asia, and open up the trade from the Central Plains to Central Asia. route.
The Silk Road of the past can be restored.
Therefore, when dealing with Xiliao, there is no need to use the means of infiltration by the Renaissance Society, but strategic push and direct inclusion into rule.
In order to deal with Xiliao, he planned to use the Second Corps and the Sixth Corps, and he believed that these two corps were enough to destroy Xiliao, capture the Western Regions and even the entire Pamir Plateau, and create a complete and Solid defense in the western part of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Xiliao is not weak, the intelligence collected by Tianwang Army agents in the past years shows that Xiliao does not have many troops that can be mobilized for combat. They mainly recruit conquered countries or military forces at critical moments. The tribe's army of servants is replenished.
If they can provide 50,000 cavalry, it is considered very good.
Facing the strong Ming army from the two corps, Su Yonglin couldn't think of any ability of Xiliao to compete with the Ming army. It was a high probability that the Ming army could successfully destroy Xiliao and regain the Western Region.
But then again, they are playing at home, and there are many younger brothers waving flags, and the Ming army is playing away, without foreign aid, which seems a bit lacking.
If we can have a helper send troops from the west to contain some of Xiliao's forces, even if we can't win, it can buy some time for the Ming army to directly attack the Xiliao mainland, which is a good choice.
One more friend, one less enemy, even if the lion fights the rabbit, he will try his best.
Su Yonglin made up his mind and began to test the extent of Khwarezm's preparations for this war.
Then he learned that Khwarezm's preparations for this war were still verbal.
Their king had this idea, but he needed the cooperation of Ming Dynasty. After Ming Dynasty agreed to cooperate, he would prepare for another year and a half, and he would almost be able to launch a war.
Su Yonglin had a hard time resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
"Since your king's preparations have not been completed, let's go back and make preparations first. To be honest, if Ming Dynasty wants to conquer Liao Kingdom, it does not need much preparation time. Half a year is enough. I don't know how much time your country will need. But Ming’s actions will not follow your country’s time.”
Huta conveyed Su Yonglin's intention to Alan, who was very excited when he heard about it.
"If the Ming Dynasty can prepare within half a year, I will rush back even if I risk my life to tell our King about this, so that he can prepare as much as possible and complete the preparations to attack the Liao Kingdom within a year as much as possible. .”
"It took you a year to come here, right?"
"That was the result of taking a detour in order not to be discovered by the Liao people. But if His Majesty the Emperor is so determined, we will choose to cross the Liao Kingdom and return to the country of Khwarazm to convey the Ming Emperor's thoughts to His Majesty the King, and try our best to Ready within a year.”
"I see."
Su Yonglin nodded and said slowly: "Then, let's take it as a one-year period. It is now October 15th in the ninth year of Hongwu, and by October 15th in the tenth year of Hongwu at the latest, I will prepare to use troops against the Liao Kingdom. Seize the land in the Western Region that originally belonged to China.
As for whether the Khwarezm Kingdom can be ready by then, I don’t care. I will only use troops against the Liao Kingdom. Whether you can catch up with the Liao Kingdom depends entirely on you. Also, does your country have any special requirements for the so-called equal division of the land? "
Huta continued to translate Su Yonglin's words. After hearing this, Alan cautiously asked Su Yonglin what he wanted.
"I want Congling. In the former Tang Dynasty, Congling was the territory of China. I want to take over Congling. The east of Congling belongs to the Ming Dynasty. The west of Congling is up to you."
Su Yonglin told him his request. Now Huta was in trouble and asked Su Yonglin where Congling was.
Su Yonglin thought that hundreds of years had passed since the place names of the Tang Dynasty, and not many people even knew about them in the Ming Dynasty, let alone foreigners, so he simply took out his map, unfolded the world map, and told them that Congling was Where.
When the huge world map was fully unfolded, Huta and Alan were stunned on the spot like stone statues, looking at the map in shock and motionless.
It wasn't until Su Yonglin walked up to them and pointed out the location of Congling to them that they knew what Su Yonglin called Congling.
Well, it's almost the heart of Xiliao.
If we calculate it this way, most of the territory of Xiliao from Congling to the east is subject to Su Yonglin's requirements, and there is indeed not much that can be left to the Khwarezm Kingdom.
Moreover, this so-called Congling has always been an extremely important strategic transportation thoroughfare. As a businessman, Huta knew the significance of this strategic transportation thoroughfare being controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
He was surprised that a large country in the East far away from Central Asia had such a clear understanding of world geography and could even draw such a magnificent map.
With such a map, wouldn’t it be...
Huta suddenly discovered something was not quite right.
"May I ask Your Majesty the Emperor, where does this large red area refer to?"
"Here? This is the current territory of the Ming Dynasty. I will color the territory controlled by the Ming Dynasty in red, so that you can more intuitively see on the map how majestic the Ming Dynasty is."
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "As far as I know, the Liao Kingdom is in this area now, and the Khwarezm Kingdom should be in this area, right?"
Su Yonglin drew a circle with his finger in two places in the Western Region and Central Asia, roughly drawing the locations of the territories of the two countries.
And this is indeed true.
Huta swallowed and nodded, indicating that what Su Yonglin said was correct. Then, he conveyed Su Yonglin's meaning to Alan, and then the two of them were shocked by the vastness of the Ming Dynasty.
They have never intuitively felt how big a country the Ming Dynasty was, but now that they have this intuitive map with such a conspicuous red color, they can clearly see how big the territory of the Ming Dynasty is and what kind of country it is. giant.
In comparison, both Xiliao and Khwarezm are small countries.
Soon, both Huta and Alan realized that if Su Yonglin requested to obtain the part of Xiliao territory east of Congling including the entire Congling after the war, wouldn't the territory of Ming Dynasty be...
What a behemoth?
"The Ming Dynasty... is indeed one of the few great countries in the world."
Huta looked at Su Yonglin with some caution: "But for such a large land, Congling must be included in the rule. Isn't it too big to be managed?"
