Daming Military Empire

Chapter 393 Fight with all your might

In March of Yangchun, the grass grows and the warblers fly. It is the time of the splendid spring. Colorful flags are flying everywhere in Dongdaying. The soldiers are about to go out again.

This time, Zhu Cijiong is still on his own expedition. There is no way. Facing the equally huge Mughal Empire, Da Ming not only invested 100 million taels of real gold and silver, but also invested more than [-] million in the sea and land army. It can be said that this is Da Ming's dedication. How can he rest assured if he doesn't go to fight?

He originally thought that the Mughal Empire would last at least half a year after the external supply was cut off, but he never thought that the entire Mughal Empire would be in chaos in less than two months. But the troubled times have come, and it will take at least a year for the Mughal Empire to resume production. That is to say, during this year, the Mughal Empire will inevitably have skyrocketing prices, people will live in dire straits, and be vulnerable. It is a good time to attack!
It took such a high price to create the current situation. Naturally, Zhu Cijiong could not let go of this opportunity, so he decided to launch an offensive against the Mughal Empire immediately.

Naturally, the collision between such a huge two empires cannot be a matter of a day or two or even a month or two. The preliminary preparations alone will take at least a few months. You must know that the predecessor of the Mughal Empire, the Timurid Empire It took nearly half a year to prepare for the attack on Daming. Fortunately, after three months of delay on the road, the emperor of the Timurid Empire died of illness. Otherwise, it is hard to say what the war will be like.

But this time the start is reversed, it is Ming who is going to attack the Mughal Empire, not the Mughal Empire is going to attack Ming, and since the ship has become a shortcut, the sea route has become a shortcut. It doesn't take much time to set off and reach the Mughal Empire.

Zhu Cijiong's preparations this time were also relatively thorough. Since the beginning of the first month, food, grass and supplies have been transported to Nanyang by train and ship without stopping. I don't know how many supplies have been piled up in Ava City in Donghu and Xingcheng Port in Daming.

At that time, the Timur Empire had a mountain of food, and horses and sheep formed a sea. This time, the food and grass of the Ming Dynasty could pile up several mountains, and countless shells and bullets were prepared. It can be said that Zhu Cijiong’s preparation work is even better than that of Timur. comprehensive.

As for the number of troops, let alone, Timur only dispatched 30 million people at that time. He was planning to put millions of troops into battle after Daming gained a foothold, while Zhu Cijiong was going to invest millions of troops at a time. The army and navy count separately!
It is inevitable that such a major action would shock the government and the public. Fortunately, Zhu Cijiong has established absolute authority in Daming, just like Taizu and Chengzu back then. The victories in the Northwest, Dongfan, Dongying, and Monan battles caused the entire Ming Dynasty to fall into the blind worship of the emperor. The civil and military officials were only shocked by the hugeness of this handwriting, but no one dared to dissuade him .

Precisely because of the unprecedentedly large handwriting this time, almost all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty rushed to Dongdaying to see them off. The entire port was full of crowns and high-ranking officials. After bidding farewell to the civil and military officials who came to see him off, he resolutely set foot on the Daming ship and started another journey.

Behind him, Xin Wang Zhu Youjian and Zhu Guogong Xu Guangqi knelt down together with all the civil and military officials, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor, the victory of the banner, the expansion of the territory, the glory of the country, and the return of the victory. "

It is natural to win a big victory. After such careful planning and the investment of so many troops, it is impossible for the Mughal Empire to be defeated. Moreover, there are likely to be even greater gains Well, as long as the combined fleet of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance stays in Bataviana honestly, that’s all. If they dare to run out to point fingers and interfere in Ming’s actions wantonly, then I’m sorry. Packed together!

Since this battle may be protracted, Zhu Cijiong brought the most accompanying officials this time, including Wang Zhengnan, Commander of Jinyiwei, Cao Huachun, Admiral of Dongchang, Bi Maokang, Minister of Industry, Sun Yuanhua, Minister of Military Affairs, Cheng Guoxiang, Minister of Communications, etc. Political envoy Wu Jianye, etc., even Guozijian Jijiu Zodiac Zhou took the initiative to invite Ying to accompany him. His excuse was to take a look at the Chinese language teaching in Goa, Mysore and other places. In fact, he couldn’t help but feel Restless, I want to participate in this feat of expanding the territory, the Mughal Empire, what a huge territory that is!
This time, Zhu Cijiong plans to divide his troops into two groups to launch an offensive against the Mughal Empire. The east route will start from the city of Ava in Donghu and advance slowly westward automatically, while the south route will start from the city of Goa in Portugal, and the Mughal Empire will be attacked first. The main force of the army was fatally hit, and then headed north all the way to Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire.

The huge combined fleet is slowly advancing on the endless sea, and Zhu Cijiong feels a rush of enthusiasm, it has begun, it is finally about to start, the dream of many years has finally been put into action, and Da Ming has finally taken the first step to fight for supremacy at sea!
The first stop of the United Fleet is Ming Dynasty’s Xingcheng Port in Nanyang. For the convenience of communication, Zhu Cijiong planned to sit in Xingcheng Port in the early stage of the war, and use the telegraph network and fast sea traffic there to command the two armies to advance. Depends on progress.

Dongdaying is nearly [-] miles away from Xingcheng Port. If it was still in the age of sailing, it would take at least half a month to reach this sea route alone. That is still under the condition of smooth wind and smooth water. If the wind direction and current are not right, it may take a month. They couldn’t even get there. Now that there is a ship, it’s different. Don’t worry about the wind direction and current. In five days, the United Fleet will arrive at Xingcheng Port on time!

At this time, Xingcheng Port can be said to be full of stars. Not only Zhennan King Zheng Zhilong, but also Guanning Army Commander Cao Wenzhao, Dongjiang Army Commander Mao Wenlong, Nanyang Navy Commander Zheng Zhihu, South China Sea Fleet Commander Zheng Xing, etc. came to welcome the port. Even Conde, the governor of Goa in Portugal, came.

It is said that the Mughal Empire has sent troops to Goa, why did he come here?This guy doesn't want to get away with it!

As a member of the frontier official, he is not so timid. In fact, he is not the protagonist of this Goa war. With more than 1 troops under his command, it has no effect on the battle situation at all. He is the main force in this war, and at best he can only deal with logistics.

At this time, Qin Yiming had already personally rushed to Goa to sit in town. As a Portuguese governor, he was no match for the commander of the Ming Empire's legion, so he simply handed over the command of his army to Qin Yiming, and ran to Xingcheng Port by himself. Welcome to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
