"The land of Persia?" Looking at the large piece of land labeled "Persia" on the map, Haohai Dayu was a little shocked, shocked by Daming's huge appetite. You can't swallow the land in the river of Timur's empire, but you want to swallow the wider so-called "Persia"?
"Master Dao Yan wants to take Persia as the basis for our Western Expedition?" Zhang Yu thought thoughtfully for a while, but finally expressed his doubts: "This place is indeed easier to get than the river, but It is also a foreign land, and we, the Chinese people, have no roots here. How should we govern this place?"
"Divide the troops to garrison them, and use the army to suppress them. Isn't it the end?" Wang Xian said.
"The army must guard Keshi City to prevent Timur from counterattacking in the future. If there are more troops stationed in Persia, Keshi City may not have enough combat power. But if there are less... I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress it." Fei Ju shook his head, appearing to be weak. Quite a headache.
The generals thought for a long time, but could not think of a perfect solution, so they all looked at Yao Guangxiao.
"The concerns of all generals are justified." Yao Guangxiao said under the eyes of everyone. He turned to Zhu Di who was looking at the map and said, "It's just that you didn't think of asking your Majesty for help."
"If the country can send some more soldiers and officials to manage Persia for us, wouldn't this matter be solved easily?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.
yes! Behind them, but relying on the powerful Ming Dynasty, they are not alone in fighting!
This place is far away from the Ming Dynasty, and I almost forgot that the road behind me is now clear, Yili is under the control of people like myself, and Hami has also been taken over by the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Oara Yesudie'er has been crowned, and there will be no war in the northern Xinjiang. The country can fully mobilize some of the troops to guard against Oara and come to support them in their struggle with Timur's empire.
What's more, they don't need too many troops at all. They only need thousands of soldiers and civilian officials to manage the local people and deter the remaining brave soldiers after they conquer Persia.
"This is a very good plan." Zhu Di also stood up happily with a look of approval on his face. "Timur is so arrogant that he dares to ignore us and go find trouble with the Golden Horde first."
"Our army of tens of thousands has absolutely no reason to wait here stupidly, waiting for Timur to come to trouble us after finishing his own affairs."
"Since he dares to leave us alone, we will take his people and land first."
"I want him to know who is his life and death enemy!"
The generals' morale was high and they marched towards Keshi City. At the same time, a group of messengers also flew all the way to Yingtian, sending news that Zhu Di was asking for help from the Ming Dynasty.
Yingtian Mansion, Huagai Hall.
"Okay!" After reading Zhu Di's documents handed over by Lao Zhu, the usually steady Crown Prince Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel excited.
"The fourth brother is invincible in martial arts and has actually invaded the land in the middle of the river in Central Asia. It's really a feeling of pride... a feeling of pride!"
This was a temporary small court meeting. In addition to Prince Zhu Biao, Zhou Wang Zhu Su and other clan members, there were also many humerus ministers from other dynasties. Zhu Biao handed over the document he had read in his hand, and it soon spread to everyone. Some ministers who were not well versed in foreign affairs did not even know where the so-called "Land in the Rivers of Central Asia" was located. When the palace servants brought the exquisite version of the Map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms collected by Lao Zhu, they took a sip. Air Conditioner: I thought that the so-called river was just a little further west of Hami, but unexpectedly, it was already so far away.
"Could it be that... he has left his hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties?" A minister's tone was filled with surprise and surprise. Beyond the Han and Tang dynasties! This is a great achievement that generations of Chinese people have never even dared to think about. Now the Ming Dynasty has actually conquered the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties... Doesn't this mean that the Ming Dynasty's martial arts has surpassed the Han and Tang Dynasties in all aspects?
"No, the military fronts of the Han and Tang Dynasties also came here with great power, and our Chinese civilization also existed here." Zhu Su, the king of Zhou who is now recognized as the most proficient in foreign affairs in the court, said. "It's just that in today's changing world, these people from the Western Regions who used to know the rituals have not seen my face in China for hundreds of years."
"Father, I believe that the fourth brother's intention to acquire the land in Central Asia is to take over our homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties in China, and also to spread our Chinese teachings. This is a righteous move. Since the fourth brother wrote a book to ask for help, we will do our best. Just help each other."
"The fourth brother has become promising, so of course we want to help him." Lao Zhu nodded on the throne. "The reason why we called you here this time is to have a discussion."
"In Central Asia, after all, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. Where are the soldiers and officers and soldiers that are suitable to be deployed to support us? Please give us the details."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were whispers and discussions among the ministers below. After discussing for a while, Zhu Biao listed out: "Father, among the six ministers, there are quite a few who are enthusiastic and willing to serve the country."
"We can recruit people from among the heads of the six departments to solve the urgent needs of the fourth brother."
Lao Zhu nodded. The many principals of the Six Ministries are a very strong governing force. Most of them came from the Imperial College, and were considered "interns" sent by the Imperial College to the six departments to assist the court in handling affairs. Although most of these people have not passed the scientific examination, they are still quite talented and have learned many practical skills in the six departments. Moreover, most of them are young people with active ideas and do not follow the old ways. Let them govern Central Asia, whose customs are very different from those of China. It is the best use of people.
"Okay." Lao Zhu's face was filled with joy. The fourth brother had a future, and the eldest brother was also considerate of his brother. Nothing could make Lao Zhu more gratified than this, who is getting older now. The next step was the question of where to mobilize the troops, but at this point, many officials were in trouble.
"Your Majesty, Timur's empire is located in the northwest. It would be safest to transfer military households to the northwest." An official reported. "But... all the soldiers of the Suzhou Guard have been transferred by Pingliang Marquis. The northwest frontier cannot send troops easily anymore."
"Although Oara has been defeated in the north, there is no need to station troops... However, there was a news report from Peiping a few days ago, saying that there has been no rain in the north for months, and the fields are dry, and there is a fear that spring plowing will not be continued. With the remaining grain in the north, if we stick to the original position , or we can barely support it. But if we need to leave the garrison for a march and miss the military households’ spring plowing, where can we procure the many grains and grass needed for the march?”
"To the southwest...Annan Kingdom now has powerful ministers in power, and there seems to be an opportunity to take advantage of it. The Duke of Guizhou secretly gathered troops, preparing to attack Annan in one fell swoop... Annan is close and Central Asia is far away, so he definitely did not seek the distance from the near, and asked the Duke of Guizhou to support China. The truth of Asia. And in the southeast... although the Japanese pirates have already retreated and there is no war in the southeast sea area for the time being, it is too far to mobilize troops from the southeast..."
"It is not appropriate to send troops to the east, west, north or south. I am waiting for you... I am waiting for you and I really can't come up with a solution..."
