"Long live my Lord, this is the third resignation letter submitted by Prime Minister Wen."

"Hey... let's approve it."

"Uh, I obey."

It has been thirty-two years since I traveled to this dimension, and it has been twenty-eight years since I have known Lao Wen. Is it finally time to separate?

I remember before time travel, I read two books written by a street-hopping author called Hungry Waiting to Die at the starting point. The protagonists were both time travellers, and both of them exposed themselves in the end. At that time, I found it difficult to understand, but now...Zhu Youdong is really

I feel the loneliness of the traveler.

No matter what, on my lonely journey, there are always people coming and going. Those who can't keep up with my footsteps or have conflicting ideas, such a peaceful breakup is already a good ending, relatively speaking.

"Hey, Fang Zhenghua, you said that in order to conquer India, I forced the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers to resign. Am I really ruthless? When there are still many internal problems in the country, I used the whole country to conquer India.

Did you really do something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, as a servant, I can't say much about the affairs of the court. But I have been serving the Emperor for almost twenty years. In the past twenty years, this country has been pulled back from the edge of disintegration by the Emperor. So, Your Majesty,

Even though I can’t understand the decision for the time being, I always firmly believe that it is ultimately beneficial to the country.”

"You naughty guy!" He pointed at Fang Zhenghua with his finger: "Now that the Cabinet and Privy Council have been reorganized, has the formulation of the Indian strategy been accelerated?"

"Your Majesty, it is reported that Prime Minister Yuan has made an appointment with the Privy Council to meet at the Privy Council today."

…

In the northwest corner of Beijing, the newly built fifteen-story Ming Dynasty Privy Council stands abruptly. On the top floor of this building are seven or eight deduction rooms of various specifications. On the day when Yuan Keli visited Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi invited him there.

The largest deduction room. In the center of this deduction room is a huge map of the Indian Peninsula.

"I've met the Prime Minister."

"It's meaningless for Duke Jie Huan to say this. If you call me that, is it possible that I still want to call you Yuan Xiang?"

"Hahaha~" After laughing awkwardly for a while, Yuan Keli relaxed his mood: everyone said that this bear man had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Please sit down, Mr. Jiehuan. In fact, the emperor must have had thoughts about India many years ago. Look, this map of the Indian peninsula is the map of Xu Xianchun, the imperial guard who is stationed in Yangon, and his subordinates.

, it took nearly ten years of work to make it, and it is very delicate. Haha, it took ten years of hard work. If you say that the emperor had no idea in the early years, I would not believe it."

"Hmm..." After carefully observing the three-dimensional map of the Indian Peninsula, Yuan Keli said: "What is Duke Shibaoka's strategy?"

"Please take a look, Mr. Jiehuan. Our Ming Dynasty has a direct border with the Moguls. Although it is located on a plateau and is cut off by the Himalayas. But in my opinion, there is no problem in sending a surprise army in this place."

"Are you going to let Man Gui lead a partial division to send troops from the snowy area?"

"exactly."

"But Lord Shibaoka, look at how towering the Himalayas are on this map. If Mangui leads a division south, it will reach the sky. Moreover, he cannot bring cannons and other heavy weapons, and he cannot bring too much food. If this happens in a short period of time,

If you can't get out, I'm afraid it's quite dangerous."

"Haha, Mr. Jiehuan is too polite. This is Deng Ai going to Yinping. If it succeeds, it will be an unparalleled achievement. If it fails, the whole army will be wiped out. But in a war, there won't be too many times that you can be sure of it. This risk is worth taking.

I would also like to come to Mangui!"

"Okay, this is the whole journey. What about the main force?"

"Please take a look, Lord Jiehuan, the terrain of the entire Indian Peninsula, except for the Himalayas that borders our Ming Dynasty in the north, is basically high in the west and low in the east, high in the south and low in the north. Therefore, the main force of our Ming Dynasty will choose to land here!"

With a "pop" sound, Xiong Tingbi pointed his baton hard at the outlet of the Ganges River: "From here, land and go west along the Ganges River. In addition to the Ganges River as an auxiliary transportation along the way, this river

Both sides of the bank are large flat plains, which can lead directly to Delhi, the capital of the Moguls. The enemy is almost invincible. Moreover, according to Xu Xianchun's report, this area, even if not counting the capital, is surrounded by Moguls.

It is the essence of the Gor Empire, and it is easy for our army to obtain supplies from these places. Once we capture the Ganges Plain, the Deccan Plateau, and the Ghats Mountains, we will probably be able to spread the word."

"Yeah." After looking at the map for a while, Yuan Keli nodded heavily: "This march route is of course the most time-saving and labor-saving. But, if we want it, the enemy also wants it."

"That's true. So Mangui's partial division needs to come into play. My idea is that Mangui's army should attack from the southwest of the snowy area, the Galwan Valley, Pangong Lake and other places. As long as they get out of here

If you are in a mountainous area, you can quickly go south and reach Delhi."

"Haha..." After Nian Xu smiled for a while, Yuan Keli said: "I understand the strategy of marching into the army. Next, it is a matter of the cabinet. May I ask Mr. Shibaoka, how does the cabinet need to cooperate?"

"Residence, civilians, transportation, armaments." After slowly spitting out eight words, Xiong Tingbi continued: "Originally, the navy has been doing very well in Ceylon Island in recent years, but since we have chosen the Ganges Delta as the landing site,

Then Ceylon Island is not suitable as a material distribution center. Therefore, the Privy Council means that all materials, troops, civilians, etc., should be concentrated in Yangon first."

"Understood. After I return, I will immediately give an order to the Governor of Central and South China, asking him to clear Yangon Port first and mobilize civilians to build barracks. Well, there is no need for intelligence cover-up, right?"

"No need." Xiong Tingbi said with a confident smile: "With such a large-scale military mobilization, once the entire army arrives in Yangon, there is no way to hide it. Besides, there is no need to hide it."

"Okay. Let's talk about the Teng Di'er first. Let's talk about the second point, civilian husband. What is the Privy Council's plan to dispatch nearly 400,000 troops this time?"

"Well. It's May now. The Privy Council's plan is that the fifteen mainland divisions, except for the one in Mangui, the other fourteen should be concentrated in various ports before July 1st and board ships to Yangon as soon as possible.

Let’s move forward. As for the ten divisions of the vassal state, the Privy Council requires them to arrive at Yangon Port before September 1st. They don’t need to bring any equipment, but the full rate of the army must reach more than 95% after disembarking.”

"Okay." Although he is nearly seventy years old, Yuan Keli's thinking is quite quick: "Then I suggest that the fourteen divisions of the Ming Dynasty be concentrated in Tianjin, Songjiang, and Guangzhou. The cabinet will instruct Yousi to do a good job accordingly.

Prepare. Well, for the fourteen divisions in the mainland, the cabinet will allocate 70,000 civilians to you at three ports to follow the soldiers on board. Then, allocate 10,000 civilians to build supply points in Beijing, Songjiang, Guangzhou, Saigon, Bangkok, and Singapore each along the way.

Transport arms, clothing, medicine, and food from these places in an endless stream."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Jie Huan. Now let's talk about the third item, transportation."

"The Cabinet Administration for Industry and Commerce has notified all major domestic transporters to requisition 3,000 transport ships in advance, with a total cargo capacity of 1.5 million tons. This transport volume, coupled with the transport capacity controlled by the Ministry of National Defense, should probably

That's enough."

"Thank you very much. We, the military, will not do anything wrong. Lord Jiehuan, I hereby promise to obtain food from India as soon as possible after the army lands. In this way, the requisitioned merchant ships can be released, which will have a great impact on the country's people's livelihood.

Reduce it to a minimum.”

"Hahaha, thank you so much Mr. Shibaoka."

"As ministers of the country, this is how it should be. Then, the last item is armament."

"Well." Yuan Keli pondered for a moment: "Mr. Shigaoka used to work in the Ministry of Justice and the Court, so he may not know very well. There has been no major war in the country in the past ten years, so the three major arsenals in Zunhua, Nanjing, and Zhaoqing are

They all work in one shift, and their output is very limited. Although the Ministry of National Defense has recently allowed these three major arsenals to resume three shifts, it will still take some time to increase production capacity."

"Well." Xiong Tingbi was silent for a while and then said: "Gong Jie Huan, my fifteen divisions in the Ming Dynasty have no problem with their armament. They just need to continue to provide ammunition. But those ten divisions from the vassal countries?

Haha, it is said that the armed forces of some vassal countries are still using flintlock guns."

"There's nothing we can do about it. There was no war a few days ago, so why should they use the best weapons? Let's do this. When the time comes, I will send the Grand Sima to personally guard Yangon. After the ten vassal national divisions arrive, the Grand Sima will

Let’s take a look at their strength first. Those who can fight and dare to fight will be deployed first. Those who can’t fight will not be deployed. We will send them all back and let the local lord send people again! "

"Hahaha, I have foreseen that some vassal kings will be made worse than dead by Lord Jie Huan. So, this is where the rough military and political communication ends?"

"Okay, today we will roughly discuss the preliminary work. Once the actual work starts, there will definitely be many problems. Then the two governments will negotiate again."

"Okay, I would like to send you my best wishes, Mr. Jie Huan. I will continue to trouble you in the future."

"No trouble, no trouble, we are all doing things for the emperor."

After sending Yuan Keli away, Xiong Tingbi turned around and entered another room.

General Cao Wenzhao, General Liu Zhaosun, Lieutenant General Huang Degong, Lieutenant General Ma Shilong, Lieutenant General Mao Wenlong, Major General Luo Xiong from the Army... General Li Guozhu, Lieutenant General Yan Siqi, Major General Du Youning, Major General Zheng Zhilong from the Navy... and the Marine Corps...

Major General Zhang Hong and others gathered together, it can be said that the stars are shining brightly.

"Meet the Prime Minister!"

"Generals, without courtesy, please take a seat."

With a "wow" sound, many generals sat down uniformly.

Nodding with satisfaction, Xiong Tingbi said: "I have just had a preliminary communication with the Prime Minister, and overall I am very satisfied. The civil affairs side has spared no effort in supporting our military. The Prime Minister has solved all the issues that we were concerned about before.

We gave a very powerful response. This is a good thing, but it is also a pressure. Because the cabinet is so supportive, if we still can’t win the war, haha, everyone from the officer down will have a hard time!”

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, we will definitely be able to bring our country's prestige to India!"

"Okay, let's issue the first Privy Council Order in the war against India."

"Wow!" All the generals stood up together again, all standing upright.

"The first batch of troops for this expedition to India is the Second Division, the Third Division and the Marine Division, as well as the Nanyang Fleet Ironclad Detachment. The above troops total 63,000 people. In accordance with the emperor's decree, General Liu Zhaosun was appointed

Serve as the commander of the First Seal Army."

"The final general's decree!"

"General Liu, according to the Privy Council's plan, your troops must arrive in Yangon before July 20 this year. After a short rest, launch the Ganges Delta landing campaign no later than mid-August this year!"

"The last general takes command!"

After announcing this order, Xiong Tingbi's expression softened: "Everyone, please take a seat."

After the generals sat down, Xiong Tingbi said: "Three years ago, when we established the constitution of the Ming Dynasty, we announced to the people of the country to collect national flags, national anthems, and national emblems. Now, these three things have been finalized. In this expedition to India, our Ming soldiers will
Chapter completed!
