My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2266
As far as the imperial court of Dalong Jingcheng was concerned, under the operation of Young Master Liu, four capable and important ministers were united, and more than 100 million taels of treasury silver was added to the national treasury at once.

Among them, the net profit is more than [-]%.

Coupled with the treasures donated by the missions of various countries, if converted into silver and two copper coins, it is enough for the court to maintain various insignificant expenses for half a year.

For First Young Master Liu, it was a good day not to hear Lao Jiang and the officials of the household department crying poorly to him.

After the missions of various countries left Beijing and returned to the country, the affairs of the court were handed over to the cabinet and the Palace of Ten Kings.

Young Master Liu returned to spend his days leisurely at the fortune-telling stall next to Penglai Restaurant.

During the days when Young Master Liu was thinking about the money of the Japanese mission, after the Western Expeditionary Army rested in Gumo, they joined forces with the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate as scheduled, and the coalition forces of the Western Regions once again embarked on a crusade. The journey of the country's barbarians.

The third day of July in the third year of Taiping.

The 80 coalition troops marched out of Dawan, the frontiers of the Da Yuezhi and the two countries, and drove straight into the territory of the former Anxi Kingdom, which is now the Black Clothes Dashi Kingdom.

The maps presented by the countries in the Western Regions were jointly assisted by the maps drawn by the Dalong court itself, and Lu Fengshuang, a survivor of the Lu family business, and the caravan guards of the Dawan Kingdom were the main guides.

The Western Expeditionary Army went to the plains eighty miles away from Jistan, the border gate of Heiyi Dashi, and settled down.

Ten steps away from the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Kuang wiped the sweat from his forehead while staring at the setting sun in the sky with a dignified expression.

"Damn it, the sun is almost going down, why is it still so hot in Dashi Kingdom? It's much hotter than our Dalong."

Nangong Ye and a group of generals on the side nodded with the same gloomy expression, and there was a hint of solemnity mixed with the gloomy look.

Nangong Ye took off the water bag on his waist and took a sip: "Zhang Shuai, according to Mr. Lu's narration and the information he got from the caravan of Dawan Kingdom, the weather in Dashi Kingdom and Tianzhu Kingdom will be here. Winter is still neither hot nor cold.

July and August are the time when the tigers show their teeth and claws in autumn. Even if the temperature in our Dalong land is high, let alone the two countries where the winter is neither hot nor cold.

The soldiers are afraid that it will be difficult to adapt to such a temperature all at once.

If the army continues to march, the army will point directly at the city of Jistan in the Great Food Country, and the brothers may not be acclimatized due to the weather, and there will be a problem!
Let alone siege at that time, the brothers may even feel afraid of war.

If this is the case, it will be troublesome. "

Zhang Kuang's expression became even more dignified, he narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Nangong Ye.

"What does Shuai Nangong mean?"

"I suggest to take a short period of one month to rest and reorganize here, to train the soldiers and horses, so that the brothers can adapt to the water and soil in the two countries as soon as possible, and then divide the troops and march.

At that time, the brothers will get used to it, and you will lead the army to go straight to the city of Jistan, a big food in black, and turn to Zara City, a border city of Tianzhu, to attack Tianzhu.

This is a suggestion for my brother, what do you think? "

Zhang Kuang frowned and remained silent for a while: "Shuai Nangong, I understand what you mean, but have you ever thought that our 80 army and horses will have to spend hundreds of thousands of stones in vain if we rest for one more day.

Although His Majesty and the Ministry of Households told us that we don't have to worry about the follow-up food and grass issue, and there is a continuous supply of food and grass from the countries of the Western Regions.

However, it is not appropriate to consume grain and grass like this for no reason.

We must know that although our national treasury has been enriched several times due to the storage of weapons and soldiers in the past two years, it is still not inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

If you act like this, Ben Shuai always feels a little uncomfortable. "

"Zhang Shuai, brother, I understand what you mean, but if you let the brothers march directly with the risk of acclimatization, the risks involved are much greater than wasting a month's food and grass in vain.

For us to be handsome, the first priority is to have the lives of the soldiers. I think that if it is His Majesty who marches personally, he will definitely choose this way.

Have you forgotten that your majesty set out to conquer the countries of the Western Regions ten years ago, and because of the altitude sickness, the army was rested for several months to adapt to the past?
The military recorder recorded these events in detail. "

Zhang Kuang stroked his sweat-damp beard and sighed: "I read the records about the Western Expedition more than once, and of course I will not forget this matter.

Perhaps Brother Nangong, you are right, even if His Majesty personally marched, he might have made such a choice.

Although the two of us are the commanders-in-chief of the army, there are two deputy commanders, two warlords, and the generals of the guards, battalions, and departments. Why don't you discuss this matter with them first?
Especially Zhang Fushuai and the generals of the Western Regions, whether the food and grass can be supplied in time has a great relationship with the Western Regions. "

Nangong Ye smiled and nodded, raised his finger and pointed at Zhang Kuang several times.

"The hero sees the same thing, you old fox! In fact, you have already made the same plan as Brother Wei, but you just want Brother Wei to make a mistake, right?"

Zhang Kuang rubbed his nose and smiled resentfully: "Who made your elder brother the handsome elder brother? If you don't take care of your brother, who will take care of your brother?
The few of us were people who ate in the same pot back then, brothers who fought to the death, who didn't understand who!

As you said, the lives of the soldiers are the top priority.

But you also know the father and son identities of the old man and Zhang Mo, there are some things that it is really inconvenient for me to come forward!

The first expedition that concerns my Dalong Guowei must not go wrong in our hands. "

"What you said is true, death is small, but national prestige is great.

The burden on you and my brother is too heavy!

Let's go, let's call the generals first. "

About half an hour later, all the generals who were commanding the soldiers and horses to set up camp gathered in the big tent that had been built one after another.

After half a day's discussion, Cheng Kai and Ning Chao, the generals who had followed Young Master Liu to the west, were directly overwhelmed by the suggestions of the two Marshal Nangong Ye.

Cheng Kai walked to the map and pointed to Tianzhu's location: "Shuai Zhang, Shuai Nangong, seniors, brothers.

Inferred from the topography of the map, the location of Tianzhu is in the southeast direction of Jistan City.

Although I don't know if the climate here is the same as our Dalong's, it gets hotter the further south we go.

However, according to what the caravans in the Western Regions told Mr. Lu, it is estimated that this is the case in all likelihood.

Now we are stationed eighty miles away from the city of Jistan, and the border city of Zara in Tianzhu is at least five hundred miles away from here, which is further south.

Just arrived here, the brothers are already sweating profusely, and the shirts in the armor can even wring out water. One can imagine what the result will be if you go further south.

At that time, the brothers from the other army will not talk about attacking the city for thieves, how to prevent heat stroke will be a big problem.

If the barbarian army takes the opportunity to attack, the consequences will be disastrous.

The general believes that the most urgent task at the moment is not to go directly to hunt for thieves, but to let the soldiers adapt to the inaccurate conditions in the two countries as soon as possible, just like the brothers who went west when they encountered the altitude sickness mentioned by His Majesty.

Before the expedition, His Majesty said.

The general will be outside, and the emperor's order will not be accepted, and all situations will be decided by himself according to the situation.

General Mo has served His Majesty for more than ten years, and he knows His Majesty's character well. This statement is definitely not just empty words.

This is what the last general meant, seniors and brothers, please think twice. "

"The two marshals, the final general will attach the meaning of the agenda general.

We are stationed here to rest and adapt to the water and soil here. In the event of an unpredictable situation, this place is completely favorable for advancing and retreating.

And we can also send scouts to conduct reconnaissance during this period to find out the deployment of the two countries' troops.

There is a saying in the art of war, know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles.

Although we did not directly conquer the barbarians, we did not do nothing.

It is far more beneficial to find out the conditions of the barbarian cities first, and then let the brothers adapt to the water and soil here, than to directly march in blindly, and end the Western Expedition sooner. "

Nangong Ye, Zhang Kuang, Wanyan Chizha, and Hu Yanyu looked at each other for a while after listening to Ning Chao's words.

"Generals, do you have any objections?"

"We have no objection."

"Okay, order the soldiers of the three armies to set up camp on the spot.

From tomorrow onwards, soldiers and horses will be trained within a radius of [-] miles, and they will adapt to the water and soil here for a period of one month. "

"This commander agrees!"

"We will obey the commander's order!"
