Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 824
After Zhu Youjian heard the cry of the only emissary who escaped back, he was furious immediately. The little Yarkand Khanate dared to break ground on Daming's head.

Looking at the messenger kneeling below covered in dust, Zhu Youjian said with some distress:

"Come here, take the envoy down to have a good rest, and ask the imperial doctor to give him a good physical examination. If the envoy has any accidents, I will not show mercy."

"obey"

After the envoy was taken down, Zhu Youjian recalled the history of the Yarkand Khanate in his mind. He felt that this incident was not a bad thing, and that Ming Dynasty could take this opportunity to pacify the entire Western Region.

Not only will Hami and Turpan be restored, but the whole of Xinjiang, Tibet, and Central Asia will be brought back.

When attacking the Yarkand Khanate, the Raksha State (Tsarist Russia) is likely to intervene. Once the Raksha State dares to intervene in Daming to regain the Western Regions, Zhu Youjian decided to beat them back to the Principality of Moscow without leaving any extra land For these old bastards.

It sounds simple, but in fact Zhu Youjian knew very well that it would not be so easy to attack the Yarkand Khanate. It did not mean that Ming had a problem with its military strength, but a problem with its geographical environment.

The capital of the Yarkand Khanate is far away in Shache, thousands of kilometers away from Jiayuguan, and they have to pass through the largest desert in China along the way. If they are not fully prepared, the Western Expeditionary Army is likely to be defeated by the natural environment.

In order to successfully complete the plan to restore the entire Western Regions, Zhu Youjian knew that he could not act too hastily, and had to prepare well.

Just when Zhu Youjian was silent and planning how to go west, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all staring at the emperor, and they were even more angry than the emperor at the moment.

As the saying goes, the soldiers are raging and the generals are raging. The civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty have been baptized for many years of war. Both the generals and the civil officials are all domineering. In their hearts, Da Ming can't suffer a little bit.

All of them believed that under the leadership of Shengjun, the Ming Dynasty had surpassed the period of Emperor Qin, Hanwu and Hongwu, and became the greatest dynasty in Chinese history.

The emperor fell into a brief silence, and they were a little impatient. Some even thought that the emperor might have been tired of fighting every year, so they didn't want to order the army to march west.

But they knew the emperor's temper very well, and they must not easily challenge his bottom line, so they all looked at Sun Chuanting, the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, and Qi Jiguang, the commander of the five armies.

They all know that the Ministry of War and the five military commanders have separated, and now the Ministry of War is no longer in charge of foreign operations, but only responsible for national defense construction and logistics supplies.

Both Sun Chuanting and Qi Jiguang were historical figures summoned by Zhu Youjian's system. They knew what was going on when they saw the eyes of the officials, and they hurried forward to salute:

"Honor Qi Jiguang, I have this play"

"Minister Sun Chuanting, may there be a play."

Zhu Youjian, who was in deep thought, was awakened by the voice of the two, and he looked up at his two proud subordinates:
"play"

"According to the purpose"

Sun Chuanting led the decree and said:
"Your Majesty, the small country dares to break ground on my head, Daming, and the cabinet strongly recommends sending troops to crush the Yarkand Khanate."

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, Qi Jiguang stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead the army to march west. If the Yarkand Khanate cannot be taken within two months, I will apologize myself!"

After the two finished speaking, all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stepped forward and bowed to salute:
"Your Majesty, my minister seconded the proposal"

……

Zhu Youjian looked at the angry appearance of the officials in the main hall, and was very relieved. This is what a powerful Chinese nation looks like, and everyone must unanimously speak out.

He put his hand on the Longshu table and got up and said slowly:

"My dear ones, you think I'm tired of war, don't you? To tell you the truth, I won't stop using troops until the sun and moon shining on the rivers and rivers are all Han soil. Just now I was thinking about how to use troops against the Yarkand Khanate.

You don’t know this place, and the geographical situation is very bad. Just now, the governor of the five armies said that the Yarkand Khanate was conquered in two months. It is because you don’t know the location of the country. Under normal circumstances, a large army marches in two months. It may not be possible to go to their capital. "

Zhu Youjian's words frightened the officials. They didn't know where the Yaerqiang Khanate was. They only knew that the Ming army could destroy this small country in the Western Regions if it marched there.

But Zhu Youjian is different from them. Zhu Youjian knows that the capital of the Yarkand Khanate is now Shache County, Kashgar City, Xinjiang.

Located in the southwestern border of Xinjiang, it is bounded by the Yarkant River in the southeast, facing Zepu County and Yecheng County across the river, adjacent to Magaiti County in the northeast, bordering on Bachu County in the north, and adjacent to Yuepu Lake and Shule County in the northwest , bordering Yingjisha and Akto counties in the west, and Taxkorgan county in the southwest.It is located at the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, south of the Pamirs, in the middle and upper reaches of the alluvial fan plain of the Yarkant River between the Taklamakan Desert and the Buguri Desert.

It is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it really takes almost two months for the large troops to arrive with their luggage.

This is still a smooth journey. If you get lost in the largest desert in China, it will be even more difficult to estimate the time.

At that time, there were no roads in many places, and we could only travel along the ancient Silk Road. Unlike today's roads, there are more expressways.

Zhu Youjian's words immediately made Manchao civil and military speechless for a while, is it so far away?
The emperor stayed in the palace all day, how could he know so much, but they dared to openly question the words of the Holy Monarch of Ming Dynasty.

Qi Jiguang was also blushed by the emperor's words. He had never boasted about this, but he would not question the words of the emperor who was the host.

Thinking of the Yeerqiang Khanate stopping and killing the envoy of Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang stepped forward and bowed again to ask for orders:

"Your Majesty, forgive me for my ignorance. No matter where the Yaerqiang Khanate is, I will lead the great soldiers to crush it, otherwise I will never withdraw my troops."

Zheng Chenggong was eager to ask Zhan, and without thinking about anything, he immediately stepped forward to ask for an order:

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. I am willing to lead the Ming Navy to assist Commander Qi Jiguang to march westward. The luggage can be placed on the battleship..."

"Ha ha……"

After hearing Zheng Chenggong's words, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing out loud:
"I can understand Zheng Aiqing's feeling of fighting for the country, but you just have more than enough energy, this battle is all land and desert, and there is no waterway to the Western Regions."

"what……"

Zheng Chenggong blushed and hurriedly bowed:

"I take the liberty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian could understand Zheng Chenggong's thoughts, and also knew that people didn't understand geography at that time, so he smiled slightly:
"Aiqing is wholeheartedly fighting for the country. Don't worry, your navy will fight soon."

"Thank you Your Majesty"

Zheng Chenggong has not yet retired, and several people have asked for a fight:
Huang Degong

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the Daming Dragon Teng Army to march westward, and we will never return if we win."

British public Zhang Shize:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take Zhang Fugui with the army to march west."

Zhu Cihong:
"Father, let the emperor lead the Little Tigers to fight for the country..."
