Daming Military Empire

Chapter 402
The news of Goa's great victory spread to Xingcheng Port. Naturally, the whole city celebrated. The main force of the Mughal Empire was finally wiped out. The layout for nearly a year was not in vain. Next, as long as the Ming army does not make fatal mistakes, it will win The Mughal Empire is a foregone conclusion!

Zhu Cijiong was in a good mood, and he decided to visit Goa in person to cheer up the frontline soldiers.

Knowing the news that the emperor was coming, Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to stop and wait in the city of Goa. Anyway, the soldiers also needed to rest after the war, and it would be okay to rest for a few more days.

Zhu Cijiong came faster than expected. Less than ten days after the war, he led the First Guards Corps to Goa. At this time, the soldiers who participated in the battle had just finished their rest, and they were full of energy. Hu Long live shouted loudly, it was really a mountain shout and a tsunami, and the sound shook the sky.

So far, the small city of Goa has gathered more than 50 people from Ming Dynasty, including:

Qin Liangyu commanded the First Army of the Imperial Guard with 10 horses;

The Tianxiong army commanded by Lu Xiangsheng is nearly [-];
The Dongjiang Army commanded by Mao Wenlong was nearly [-];
The First Army of the Expeditionary Army, commanded by Hou Shilu, had 5 horses;

Qin Yiming's Second Expeditionary Army has 10 troops;
The Siamese Legion, commanded by You Shilu, has nearly 10 horses:
So many people, how to arrange it?The first thing Zhu Cijiong did when he arrived in Goa was to hold a meeting. Now the situation is different, because no one thought that the main force of the Mughal Empire would be so vulnerable!
The most conservative estimate is that at least one hundred thousand soldiers were killed or injured in the Ming Dynasty, but they never thought that the final casualties were less than 1, and after ten days of rest, most of the injured soldiers had recovered, and the Ming army was reduced by [-] With more than [-] people, the situation is very good.

Zhu Cijiong first announced that none of the soldiers who participated in the war would be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the pension of all the soldiers who died in battle would be doubled. This amounted to seven or eight million taels, but this small amount of money was nothing to him.

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss the matter of marching into Delhi. After discussing and discussing, they found that more than 50 horses seemed a bit insufficient!

What's going on here?The main reason is that Goa is too far away from Delhi, and the transportation of this grain and grass is very labor-intensive.

Is it advancing while repairing the railway like the Eastern Line?This is obviously unrealistic. With a distance of more than 3000 miles and not enough manpower, it will take until the year of the monkey to repair it. Zhu Cijiong doesn't have the time to wait.

In the end, everyone still felt that according to the old method of transporting grain and grass, more people would be needed. With so many troops participating in the battle, it would take more than a hundred thousand people to push the grain and grass carts. To prevent accidents, a legion would be sent to escort them. , 20 people will be gone.

Then, there are dozens of cities from Goa to Delhi. You can’t take them down and leave them alone. You have to send people to defend them. A rough estimate requires at least 10 troops.

Also, Goa can't be left alone. There are still more than [-] prisoners of the main force of the Mughal Empire here. Can you rest assured if you don't send more than [-] people to guard them?

Calculated in this way, there are only 15 horses left who can really participate in the battle. 15 horses attack the capital guarded by 10 horses. Goa to help out.

This man does not need too many troops, more than 30 people are enough. According to the strength of the Ming army, [-] people attack Delhi, which is absolutely easy to win.

In fact, the people who push the grain and grass carts don’t need soldiers, just ordinary young and strong laborers. It just so happens that the Construction Corps is resting at Xingcheng Port. Zhu Cijiong directly dispatched [-] Construction Corps with a single paper, and they are all young and strong laborers. It's just right for pushing grain carts.

Then, Mysore also has 1 elite cavalry from the First Corps of the Expeditionary Army. Now Mysore is equivalent to the rear, so naturally there is no need for so many people to guard it. Go to Mysore first to feel wronged, and the city of Goa will be lent to the Ming Empire first.

In this way, there are almost enough people, and the next step is to assign responsibilities.

Delhi is too far away, Zhu Cijiong will naturally not go out with the army, so the [-]st Legion of the Imperial Guard who stays to guard Goa is none other than the [-]st Legion of the Imperial Guards. With the most elite [-]st Class Legion of Ming Dynasty defending, this rear area is absolutely impenetrable.

Then, the escort of food and grass is also an important matter. After discussing for a long time, everyone finally let the second-class regiment Dongjiang Army be responsible for escorting food and grass, which is basically foolproof.

Then, the defenders in the middle don’t need any elite troops, but it’s better to have artillery, so Qin Yiming unfortunately won the lottery, because the Second Army of the Expeditionary Army under his command has artillery, while the Siamese Army under the command of You Shilu does not. Artillery.

The last remaining Tianxiong Army, the First Expeditionary Army Corps and the Siamese Legion are the offensive troops. It just so happens that two first-class legions and one auxiliary legion let the Siamese Legion contract all the miscellaneous work, and they can maintain two A first-class legion is always full of energy.

Everything has been negotiated, and the next step is to wait for the support to arrive before the full-scale attack can begin.

Another ten days later, 40 soldiers from the First Corps of the Expeditionary Army and [-] young and strong laborers from the Construction Corps rushed to Goa one after another. Zhu Cijiong gave an order, and Lu Xiangsheng directly led the Tianxiong Army, the First Corps of the Expeditionary Army, and the Expeditionary Army. The [-] troops of the Second Army and the Siamese Army rushed to Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire.

This road is so powerful that there is basically no resistance along the line, because the 20 main army of the Mughal Empire has already been planted in Goa, and there are still 20 troops being pinned down on the eastern front. 20, but also to garrison the capital city of Delhi, but also to garrison the western town of Kandahar, where troops can be dispatched to stop the Ming army.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng was advancing almost at the speed of the march. The small cities of the Mughal Empire had no walls. Basically, the Ming army had already fled before the defenders arrived. Just kidding, hundreds of people are against hundreds of thousands. You don’t need to look for it like this; the only few big cities didn’t take much effort. Basically, the cannons were set up for a while, and then the enemy surrendered in fright. There is no way. If they can't rush in, it's just a dream. If they resist, they won't hack you to death if they rush in!
With this kind of advance speed, the busiest ones are not the attacking troops, but the construction corps transporting grain and grass and the Dongjiang army escorting grain and grass. These 20 people are doing a favor, either on the way to transport grain and grass, or come back to pick it up On the road of grain and grass, there is basically no pause.

Why are they so busy?Because they not only have to transport the military rations of the front-line soldiers, but also the rations of the hungry people along the way. Goa is full of food, and the Mughal Empire civilians along the way are almost hungry.

Now that Zhu Cijiong is making so much money, his mouth is almost crooked. The carts of grain are pulled out, but the carts of grain are brought back with real gold and silver. There are tens of millions of civilians along the way from Goa to Delhi. They don’t know how much they robbed Aristocrats, any commoner can take a gold brick. The gold brick mentioned here is not a small gold bar as thick as two fingers, but a real gold brick as big as a brick!
