Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 301 Chapter 301: The Ming Dynasty directly declared war, and the Western Church was dumbfounded!

In Hanzhong Mansion, Zhu Xiaqiang's army was ready to go.

However, unlike Feng Wang Zhu Xia Feng's army, there are only about 20,000 cavalry in Zhu Xia Feng's army, and the rest are all light infantry. All of them are equipped with flintlock muskets as standard, and their main focus is an offensive weapon. Eradicate the city!

However, unlike Zhu Xia Feng's situation, Zhu Xia Feng had to cross the entire Middle East if he wanted to defeat the Ottomans. After leaving the Western Regions, the first thing he had to face was the Timur Khanate and several other countries!

For Zhu Xiaqiang, the only option is to fight all the way!

After all, you have led your army directly into their territory. If you say you want to use the road to attack the Ottomans, you have to be believed!

This road is not easy to borrow, and Zhu Xiaqian has no intention of borrowing it, but is planning to turn these roads into Ming Dynasty roads!

However, in this way, fighting all the way to Damascus will definitely be impossible in a short time. This expedition will definitely not be completed in less than a few years!

On the court side, Zhu Li and Zhu Xiaqiu, father and son, also knew this very well.

Asking Zhu Xiaqian to send troops directly from the Western Region was actually to penetrate the Western Region directly for the sake of a road!

In Fengtian Hall, not only Zhu Yue and Zhu Xiaqiu, father and son, but also the Supreme Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang came over from the palace!

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not participate in such a big thing as the Western Expedition?

As long as the Ming Dynasty wants to go to war, you will definitely see the figure of the Supreme Emperor. He is even more active than the emperor Zhu Yue, and is a true militant!

"Now if you ask Zhang'er to set off from the Western Region, it will take at least a few years to fight all the way!"

"It's not bad for Feng'er. He went all the way south from the far north, and the distance to Damascus is also the shortest!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the world map in front of him and kept making gestures on it with his fingers.

"Two armies alone are not enough!"

Zhu Li shook his head slowly at this time.

"Two roads are not enough? Then if you plan to add another road, where should you go?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again when he heard this, and quickly asked.

"From the sea!"

"Let Zheng He and Lan Yu lead the fleet, set off directly from the sea, bypass the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, and reach the Red Sea area!"

"Actually, this route is the fastest route. Going by sea is much faster than attacking the city all the way on land!"

Zhu Yue directly drew a rough navigation route on the map and said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiaqiu.

"Yes, this is indeed a good idea!"

"Although Feng'er can't reach Damascus in a short time, Feng'er and the army traveling by sea and land are much faster than him!

"This bullshit Ottoman Empire probably won't have to wait until Feng'er reaches Damascus and Constantinople before it will be destroyed by Feng'er and the Imperial Navy's direct attack from north to south!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he nodded in agreement.

"The purpose of letting Lan Yu and Zheng He go over from the sea is actually to cooperate with Feng'er and Zhang'er!"

"If necessary, we can also provide support to the army on the Zhang'er line!"

Zhu Li smiled and nodded.

"That's right. It just so happens that those brats from the Royal Guard Academy should go to the battlefield to experience it themselves!"

"It is also a good thing to let them experience the baptism of war! If you want to send Lan Yu out this time, let him select a group of qualified students from the Royal Guard Academy to go with the army!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned the matter of Imperial Guard College again.

"That's what I thought too. Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here!"

When Zhu Li saw Lan Yu appear at the gate, he immediately laughed.

It hadn't even been half an hour since he sent someone to the Royal Guard Academy to find Lan Yu. He didn't expect that this guy would arrive so quickly when he heard that there was going to be a war!

Also coming with Lan Yu was Zheng He.

Now Zheng He also teaches at the Imperial Guard College. Ming Dynasty now has steam engines and ships, and the conditions for going to sea are much better than when Zheng He sailed to the West in history!

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty Navy is even more powerful all over the world. Even if Zheng He does not need to lead it personally, the naval generals he trained can basically stand alone.

Zheng He also chose to stay at the Imperial Guard Academy to teach in an effort to teach more naval generals.

The main battlefield of the Ming Dynasty in the future will inevitably be at sea!

"Lanyu, Zheng He, I called you here today because of the Western Expedition!"

"I plan to send you to lead a fleet from the sea to the Persian Gulf, and work with the Ming Dynasty's west and north armies to suppress and contain the Middle East!"

"Are you two okay?"

Zhu Yue didn't talk nonsense. After the emperor and his ministers saw the courtesy, he directly stated the purpose of calling them here.

"Of course it's no problem. I haven't seen blood for a long time since the battle in Japan. This time, I, Lan Xiaoer, will definitely kill him!"

After hearing this, Lan Yu naturally agreed.

Even though he is over fifty now, he is still as murderous as before, and his murderous intention seems to be even stronger than before!

Zheng He is actually not young anymore, he is also fifty years old, but Zhu Yue believes that they still have the strength to fight again!

These two people can fight until they are at least sixty years old. Perhaps this attack on the West will be the last battle of these two people in their lives!

"It's okay, sir. I haven't been to sea for a long time. When I dream about these years, I often dream about the days at sea!"

Zheng He also nodded and smiled.

"Okay, as long as you have confidence."

"You all go down and prepare. If you need any supplies or equipment, just tell the prince and let him arrange it for you!"

"After the army is integrated, set off as soon as possible!"

Zhu Li nodded with satisfaction and gave direct instructions to the two of them.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Lan Yu and Zheng He agreed in unison and then retreated.

However, Zhu Yue's upper lip touched his lower lip, and it was really fun to give orders, but it was a pain for the prince Zhu Xiqiu who was standing beside him!

"Father, with your style of play, the treasury may be under a lot of pressure!"

"This battle cannot be won in a short time. It lasts for several years, and the military supplies and military salaries consumed are astronomical sums!"

Zhu Xiaqiu looked at Zhu Li helplessly. Just when Zhu Li promised Lan Yu and Zheng He to find him if they needed anything, he started to grin!

You can find him, but the problem is that he has to be able to get it!

Maybe there will be no problem in a short period of time, but the most critical thing is the follow-up supply!

War is a quagmire, equivalent to a bottomless pit!

No matter how much money the Ming Dynasty has in its treasury, if it continues to consume a lot, it will eventually bottom out!

"You don't have to worry about this at all!"

"You only need to provide them with the military supplies and food wages they need for half a year!"
