Racine, a Cossack, once again witnessed Emperor Chongzhen's magical plan. Or for him, it was Emperor Chongzhen’s magical means. Unexpectedly, he knew that the Persian Empire army would flee desperately, and escape back to Persia from here.
To be honest, when Emperor Chongzhen asked him to come here to ambush, he instinctively thought it was a bit incredible. After all, they had not even arrived in Delhi when they received the order. How could the emperor know this?
If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't shown a miracle and could predict the situation in Mingwei Fort thousands of miles away; if Emperor Chongzhen hadn't been the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and his new leg, he might have raised questions at that time.
With doubtful thoughts, Racine came here to ambush. Counting his fingers idly, he was bored and began to wonder whether the Persian army would become obsolete from here, and the Persian army actually appeared.
The moment they saw the Persian army appear, all the Cossack soldiers starting from Racine, after witnessing another miracle, no longer doubted Emperor Chongzhen's decision!
With their morale boosted, even though their troops were smaller than the Persian army, they were able to use their racial talents to deal with the tired and extremely low morale Persian army effortlessly.
By the next day, the Persian army had been defeated, and the mountains and fields were covered with Persian corpses.
Racine stood on a hill, scanning the glory of the battlefield, and then looking at a group of Persians who were about to disappear. He couldn't help but said in his heart: "My hands are really itchy! If it weren't for the emperor's will, I would be able to do it in this life." Kill an emperor!"
Yes, among the Persians who escaped was Abbas II of the Persian Empire. It was only because Emperor Chongzhen had given instructions to Rahim to let Abbas II go, that he pretended to be careless and was separated from the siege by Abbas II. However, his other men, Racine, were not polite and killed them!
He was watching Abbas II escape when suddenly, a voice rang out: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
Later, others also shouted: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
Racine was brought back to his senses by these sounds. When he looked closely, his men scattered on the battlefield were already raising their arms and shouting, enjoying the joy of victory.
This was actually nothing. What surprised him was that his men were all Cossacks, and there were no members of the Ming Army headquarters. But now, his people are shouting "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious"! It can be seen from this that they truly regard themselves as members of the Ming Dynasty!
Surprised, after coming back to his senses, Racine did not have any thoughts because of this. A smile appeared on his face, and he immediately raised his arms and shouted: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
Being able to become a member of the Ming Empire, invincible, and no longer being bullied by other forces, but bullying other forces in turn, is such a great feeling, only ghosts would have opinions!
……………………
When Racine destroyed Abbas II's fleeing Persian army, Emperor Chongzhen already knew the news in Delhi. At this time, he was entering Delhi.
That's right, as the various Ming armies sent to various places returned one after another, either bringing back Persian prisoners or the heads of Persian soldiers, the continuously increasing pressure finally broke the spiritual defense line of the Delhi defenders.
A white flag was hoisted above the city of Delhi and it surrendered to the Ming army.
Of course Emperor Chongzhen was willing to win Delhi without fighting and regain Delhi. Otherwise, if the war destroyed Delhi, the King of Tang would probably cry.
When the army entered the city, the palace in Delhi naturally became the temporary residence of Emperor Chongzhen. The original owner, King Tang, went to various places to collect food and grass and was not in Delhi.
Now, the first stage of this personal expedition, the goal of rescuing Mingwei Fort and Tang State, has been completed.
Next, the second stage of war preparations needs to be carried out. That is to prepare for the capture of the Persian Empire.
First of all, troops need to be gathered, grain and grass need to be collected, and troops need to be sent to exterminate the bandits in Tang and Fuguo. In times of war and chaos, don't do too much of this kind of thing where you dominate the mountains and become the king and the grass and grass become the bandits. If the rear is uneasy, the logistics will not be smooth, so we still need to eliminate them first.
In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also sent an edict to Zhang Huangyan in Dongwu and Yan Yingyuan in Ceylon. The Persian Empire, which was later known as Iran, was very large and more preparations had to be made. After all, it was to become a territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, not a vassal state that could just be patted on the butt and left.
Moreover, after occupying the Persian Empire in the second stage, we have to move westward to destroy the Ottoman Empire and become another direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, which requires a lot of troops.
In addition, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to go through any more trouble, so he simply took advantage of this personal expedition to occupy the Arabian Peninsula at once. In this way, these places that are scheduled to become the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty can be conquered once and for all!
Calculating this, we still need to mobilize a lot of troops here, at least those big cities need to be stationed with troops.
Thinking this way, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he did not have enough troops. But fortunately, the war is carried out in stages, so there is plenty of time.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen simply sent another decree to the country to organize troops to march westward. When he issued this edict, he thought with some evil taste: In the past, there were the Roman Crusades, but now there are the Ming bachelors and the Han Dynasty marching westward. Today is different from what it used to be!
………………
When the battle on the Tang side was over, the war in the Persian Empire was not over yet.
At the beginning, Li Dingguo really just wanted to attract Abbas II's army to come back for reinforcements and come to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. But I didn't expect that Abbas II turned out to be a ruthless man. He ignored his own retreat and his country and went straight into the Tang Dynasty.
Li Dingguo had no choice but to do nothing, and also entered the hinterland of the Persian Empire. He wanted to try if it was possible to capture the capital of the Persian Empire. If it can be defeated, Abbas II will definitely regret his wrong decision.
At the beginning, Li Dingguo's troops killed him. To the surprise of the Persians, he actually captured several cities. Every time he conquered a city, he followed the example of Emperor Chongzhen. He confiscated the homes of the rich and powerful, gave half of the property to the people at the lowest level, and threw the rich and powerful to them as well.
The first time, Li Dingguo stood on the top of the city and watched the lively scene. For some reason, he remembered the past a long time ago.
At that time, when he was still in the rebel army, King Li Chuang also thought of this method, and it seems that it was implemented and the effect was good. However, not long after, he encountered Emperor Chongzhen's personal conquest, and killed King Li Chuang in Nanyang in one go.
Sometimes, Li Dingguo couldn't help but think, if the Ming Dynasty did not have an emperor who was born forever, or in other words, it was just an emperor before Taizu entrusted him with a dream. If things continued like this and King Li Chuang used this trick, what would have happened in the end? How did it go? He was still a little curious about this.
But this was just a thought in his heart. At most, he only thought about it for a moment and then quickly stopped thinking about it. It was disrespectful to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty!
Today's emperor is wise and powerful, and today's Ming Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful for the country and the people, and it is extremely powerful. This is not so good!
Li Dingguo learned this trick from Emperor Chongzhen, and it was really good. His men immediately grew like a snowball. The momentum grew so great that it immediately affected a large area of the Persian Empire. Especially after he conquered several cities in a row and continued to use this method, his momentum reached its peak.
However, this move also has a negative effect, that is, the rich and powerful in other places have united as never before. They control wealth and military power. Not only do they stand ready to defend, they also block news. They even suppress the untouchables as soon as they find any bad signs.
As a result, Li Dingguo finally felt the pressure in the Persian Empire and felt increasingly uncomfortable.
No matter who it is, no matter what kind of war it is, if you want war, it is destructive.
The Persian Empire had already collected a lot of money and food because their emperor went on an expedition. Now that Li Dingguo is making such a fuss, there will still be people farming. Therefore, Li Dingguo's troops faced one of the most important problems. If they could not conquer new towns and did not have enough supplies, they would start to run out of food.
In the end, Li Dingguo had to give up his plan to attack the capital of the Persian Empire and instead attack other areas with weaker defenses.
To be honest, regardless of the fact that he was running rampant in Persia, he was still under great pressure in his heart.
Now due to continuous fighting, his troops are exhausted. If you can't conquer new cities, you won't be able to maintain high morale. If Abbas II leads the army back at this time, he is likely to be besieged. It is not impossible that the entire army could be wiped out in Persia by accident.
Therefore, Li Dingguo deliberately led his army to fight in the border area, and at the same time, he tried his best to inquire about the situation on the Tang side. What he fears most is that the Tang Dynasty has been captured by the Persian army and the Ottoman army. In that case, he would really be a lone boat trapped in the vast ocean.
According to Li Dingguo's past war experience, this possibility is still very high.
Therefore, even though he acted confident and fearless in front of his subordinates, in fact, he was really under great pressure. Before he was crushed, he was already acting like a famous general.
As he led the army closer and closer to the border, Li Dingguo became more and more panicked. He was afraid of the worst outcome on the Tang side.
According to experience, the more you worry about something, the worse the consequences will be.
Therefore, Li Dingguo also prepared for the worst.
However, he never expected that on this day, as the eyes and ears of the army, he would return at lightning speed, ignoring his previous military orders. Before he arrived, he shouted loudly and excitedly.
