Song Yu immediately stood up, holding the Chao Hut, and walked to a place between Liu Mingzhi and a group of border army generals and stopped.
"Old minister is here!"
Liu Mingzhi waved his hand, picked up the tea prepared by Xiao Chengzi and tasted it slowly.
Song Yu nodded, took out a document from his sleeve, opened it, and glanced at the dozens of brave generals present.
"Generals, after Your Majesty, I and my colleagues have discussed for many days, and the plan for this army expedition has finally been finalized.
To make a long story short, this minister will briefly read out to you the details of this troop dispatch.
Your Majesty has a decree, the Ministry of War formulates a policy, and the Cabinet approves it.
This time we are going on an expedition with a large army. The situation of dispatching troops is as follows.
Order the Six Guards of the New Army to mobilize 100,000 elite cavalry.
Order the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang to mobilize 100,000 elite cavalry.
The ten guards of Beifu were ordered to mobilize 100,000 elite cavalry.
Order the Twelve Guards of the New Mansion to mobilize 100,000 elite cavalry.
A total of 400,000 troops and elite cavalry troops were assembled.
Elite soldiers and horses set off, and more than 50,000 auxiliary troops from Yunzhou, Ganzhou, and Suzhou were formed to form an expeditionary army to conquer Tianzhu who dared to insult our great dragon's power, and devoured the two unreasonable kings and turned them into barbarians.
When the army sets off and treks to the Western Regions, it will rest in Gumo Kingdom for ten days, with the longest not exceeding twenty-five days.
It was also incorporated into the Anxi Protectorate's 100,000 elite soldiers, the 28-nation Allied Forces of the Western Regions, 200,000 elite soldiers, and 100,000 auxiliary troops, for a total of 350,000 troops.
In addition to our 450,000-strong army, we have a total of 900,000 troops, marching westward to fight against the bandits.
After the Gumo Kingdom rested and reorganized, the expeditionary troops of the Heavenly Army left Dawan, and after marching into the barbarian territories of the two countries from the borders of Dayuezhi, the troops were divided into two groups to conquer Dashi and Tianzhu respectively.
The marshal of the troops and horses on the left is arrogant for the protector of the country, the deputy commander is Yeruha, the military governor is Hu Yanyu, and the various troops and battalions will be led by the selected generals of the guards and horses.
The marshal of the troops on the right is Yong'an Gong Nangong Ye, the deputy marshal Wanyan Chiezha, the warlord Yunchong, and the other battalion generals are the same as above.
Zhang Mo, the commander-in-chief of the Anxi Protectorate, formed his own army with the Western Region Allied Forces. He did not hold the command position, which was determined according to the situation of the left and right armies.
Responsible for assisting, clearing, attacking, encircling and suppressing the reinforcements and other troops sent by the barbarians of the two countries.
Everything depends on the situation.”
"We accept the decree, long live my emperor."
Liu Mingzhi held the jade belt around his waist and climbed onto the dragon platform, looking around at the group of generals calmly.
"Generals!"
"I'm waiting!"
"For this army expedition, excluding the auxiliary troops and horses of various ministries, there are only more than 700,000 elite troops and horses.
This is the first time that all of you, brave generals who are good at fighting, have jointly commanded operations since I unified the world.
All of you here include generals from Dalong, as well as generals from the former dynasties of Jin and Tu.
I understand in my heart that due to some reasons in the past, there is more or less a gap between you personally.
However, this expedition is a battle to establish our power against foreign barbarians after the founding of the Dalong Kingdom, and there is no room for any mistakes or mistakes.
Listen carefully and take my words to heart.
I don't care what grudges or gaps you had in the past, let me throw them all away.
This expedition is the first expedition to establish our prestige after the founding of our country. You must not let our great dragon dynasty lose its prestige.
When you were on your way to Beijing, I originally wanted to lead the expedition in person, but Mr. Xia and the civil and military officials of the court tried to persuade me to give up my life.
I have no choice but to give up the idea.
This time, I can only rely on all of you, dear friends, for the expedition of our army to the western frontier of the Great Dragon!"
"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"
"Don't worry, we are going on an expedition this time.
I have sent a letter to the Anxi Protectorate and the kings of the Western Regions.
At all costs, ensure the food and fodder needs of my expeditionary army, and at all costs, provide guarantee for my expeditionary army to conquer the barbarians.
Make roads when encountering mountains and build bridges when encountering water.
In a word, all government orders must make way for your expedition against the bandits.
Any country on the way that dares not to provide food, grass and weapons will be destroyed.
Anyone who dares to obstruct the army from conquering the barbarians will be exterminated!"
"Long live my holy emperor! Long live! Long live!"
"My lords and ministers, the barbarians are unruly and have killed more than 3,000 of my Great Dragon subjects for no reason.
If I don't avenge this bloody feud, I will be a king in vain.
I can't give an explanation to Lu, Dai...18 families who are waiting for their families to return, and I can't give an explanation to the people all over the world.
Please bear this in mind during this expedition.
After the army marched westward and captured the barbarians of the two countries.
If the local subjects submit to the king's will and take the initiative to surrender and hand over all the executioners who are stained with the blood of our sons of the Han family, you will not be able to use the butcher's knife and commit murder in vain.
However, if the barbarians refuse to submit to enlightenment and refuse to surrender, they will fight to the death.
And secretly support the local court soldiers and horses to resist our heavenly army's crusade.
Just wait and listen.
Kill one of our expedition soldiers and massacre a hundred people; kill ten of my soldiers and massacre a thousand people; kill a hundred of our soldiers except the old, weak, sick and disabled, and massacre an entire city.
The barbarians slaughtered three thousand of my people, and you will massacre three hundred barbarian cities.
I have always advocated persuading people with virtue, but for people without virtue.
Ask me to be the saint who repays evil with kindness, but I will never be able to do it.
I only know that killing people must pay for their lives and debts must be repaid, which is the only right thing to do.
Tooth for tooth must be met, blood for blood.
This time a large army went out to conquer the two countries. Since they wanted to fight, they should be defeated in one fell swoop and frightened.
In one fell swoop, I established my reputation as the Great Dragon.
After conquering two countries, if the barbarian people of the two countries insist on stubbornly resisting and refuse to accept civilization.
I allow you to destroy the city and destroy the country!"
"We obey the decree, long live my emperor!"
"I ordered Qin Tianjian to calculate that March 28th will be an auspicious day for the expedition.
You need to work with the Ministry of War within five days to figure out how to allocate the 400,000 troops and horses for this expedition among the Six Guards of the New Army, the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang, the Ten Guards of Beifu, and the Twelve Departments of New Prefecture.
Once the plan was drawn up, it was submitted directly to me for approval, and you immediately rushed to Ganzhou to meet with the 400,000-strong army that was setting out.
On March 28th, at three o'clock at noon, we will sacrifice the flag and set out for the expedition."
"We obey your order!"
"Retreat!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live long live!"
As soon as Liu Mingzhi entered the apse, Song Yu stood up and motioned for dozens of generals to leave with him.
"Everyone, please follow me to the Ministry of War. It has been a long and tiring journey. I will arrange a place for you to rest for half a day!"
"Thank you very much, please come to Song Dynasty!"
"Please!"
The sixth day of the third month of the third year of Dalong's reign of peace.
After four and a half days of discussions between the Ministry of War and General Ma of the various guards, the strength of the expeditionary army of 400,000 troops drawn from each of the guards was finally drawn up.
After the document was drafted, Song Yu immediately went into the palace with the guards and generals to meet with Liu Mingzhi for approval.
After Liu Mingzhi read it carefully, he made his decision immediately.
The Golden Eagle and the Eagle sent messages to Northern Xinjiang in two steps, and began to mobilize the selected 400,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Ganzhou to assemble.
The weather is sunny, with light clouds and light wind.
Liu Mingzhi began to award Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye the Tiger Talisman Commander Seal in the Qinzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace.
And hand over the other half of the Tiger Talisman to each troop one by one.
"My dear ministers, tomorrow you and others will go to Ganzhou to take over the troops and go out to conquer the barbarians. I would like to drink a glass of wine in advance and wish you victory and an early triumph."
"Let's have a glass of wine and wish all generals a successful victory and an early triumph."
"Your Majesty!"
"To all my colleagues."
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
The seventh day of March in the third year of Dalong's reign is destined to go down in history.
Liu Mingzhi took a group of his sons and daughters who had entered the Palace of the Ten Kings, and went out of the city to practice with the generals of the Manchu Dynasty, such as Weizang Kuang, the civil and military commander.
This emerging empire called Dalong has just established itself in the east for less than three years.
Four hundred thousand elite cavalry were dispatched, with the belief of avenging the tragic deaths of three thousand dragons and the common people.
The two arrogant dynasties in Central Asia began a campaign of revenge and expansion.
