"An urgent message from Bangladesh?" Hearing this, Yun was shocked. The Battle of Bengal has been going on for a long time, but Lan Zhen and others have never used the six hundred mile emergency to deliver news.
. But this time it took 600 miles to rush. Obviously something big happened, and it was probably not a good thing.
But Yun didn't show it at all on his face, and said to Donat: "The principal is looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible to assist Donatello in making outstanding paintings and sculptures. He also hopes that you can make innovations in paintings and sculptures."
After saying this, he asked Dona to leave after thanking him.
After that, Yun reluctantly walked around the Wucheng Academy, listened to a few classes, commented on the teachers and students, and then left the academy. Yu Zhouwen did not try to stay. He saw the Ouchi guard talking quietly to Yun.
Although I don't think the situation is very important, I know that Your Majesty still has something to do, so of course I won't stay.
"Quickly, show me the urgent report!" Yun immediately ordered as soon as he got out of everyone's sight and got into the carriage.
The guard then took out a wooden box, opened it in front of Yun, took out the letter inside and handed it to Yun. Yun took the letter and immediately opened it to read.
"Several Tianfang Christian countries in North India actually united to fight against the Ming Dynasty?" Yun frowned and whispered. The letter contained many things, including the failed siege of Dhaka City and the defeat of the Bahmani Sultanate.
The army made a surprise attack, Zhu Xian was seriously injured, and Wen wanted to formally establish the vassal state, but the only thing worthy of Yun's concern was this.
India does not have a complete population census, but the population at this time should be greater than that of the Ming Dynasty. Even the populations of several countries in northern India ruled by Tianfang believers may be greater than that of the Ming Dynasty. Even if these countries cannot be fully mobilized
The combined strength of the private sector is also very huge and cannot be easily dealt with.
"Lan Zhen guesses that there are spies sent by the Ming Dynasty to seek refuge in these countries?" Yun saw Lan Zhen's guess again.
"It's unlikely. The people of the Ming Dynasty look very different from Indians, and their living habits are also completely different. Moreover, they are not allowed to stay in India for the rest of their lives and can return to the Ming Dynasty. How can they join the local people? To say the least, even if they are right
If the imperial court is resentful, wouldn't it be better to escape India and go to Nanyang incognito? The Nanyang people look similar to the people of the Ming Dynasty, so they can pretend to be Nanyang people."
"However, if the locals find out about something and are caught and tortured, Xizuo may tell all the things the court asked him to do."
"However, it may not be that the locals are aware of my plan. Maybe they are willing to send troops to help Bangladesh for other reasons." Yun thought.
When he was thinking about it, he had already returned to the palace. Yun got off the carriage, walked to Qianqing Palace, and told the guards: "Immediately announce that Governor Li, Shangshu Xue, Shangshu Chen, and Shangshu Zhang will come to the palace to see me immediately."
After a pause, he said again: "Xuan Qinsong also came into the palace to see me."
The guard agreed and turned around to retreat. Soon, Li Jinglong and others rushed to Qianqing Palace, saluted Yun and said, "I have met your Majesty."
"No need to be polite." Yun immediately said: "General Lan sent a memorial from India, saying that the Bahmani Sultanate and the Delhi Sultanate, two major northern Indian religious countries, jointly sent 100,000 troops to rescue Bangladesh, and took advantage of the army to besiege Dhaka.
A night attack on the camp in the city caused a lot of casualties to our army and we had to retreat. General Lan requested to change the plan and send troops to India in advance to defeat the troops of Indian countries and seize the entire northern India."
"The Bahmani Sultanate and the Delhi Sultanate sent 100,000 troops to rescue Bangladesh?" Li Jinglong immediately noticed this: "Why are these two countries willing to send so many troops to rescue Bangladesh?" Is it because they are both Tianfang believers? Li Jinglong did
I don’t believe it. If we were both Tianfang believers and helped each other, then the Golden Horde would not have been so badly beaten by Timur.
"Lan Zhen guesses that some of the spies sent to India have defected to the local government. But I don't think so. At most, they will reveal the inside story after being discovered by the locals and will not take the initiative to defect. But it doesn't matter. Let Lan Zhen investigate carefully.
Yes. The most important thing now is how to deal with the three countries of Bahmani Sultanate, Delhi Sultanate and Bangladesh Sultanate. How do you think we should deal with it?" Yun said.
"Your Majesty, of course the Ming Dynasty cannot retreat. I suggest that you immediately recruit the garrison, and at the same time order each country to send more troops to India. We will fight the three countries in Bangladesh and defeat them! Then occupy the entire northern India!" Li Jinglong said immediately!
.
"Your Majesty, I agree with Governor Li's suggestion/We should immediately send troops for reinforcements. How can the Ming Dynasty retreat?" Others also said.
Everyone guessed what Yun was thinking. If Yun did not want to expand the scale of the war for the time being, he should have called the Minister of Rites to come, and ordered Lan Zhen to immediately find out why the Bahmani Sultanate and the Delhi Sultanate were willing to send so many troops to rescue Bangladesh.
country, rather than simply saying 'it doesn't matter'. Since the emperor's intention is to increase troops, of course they will not go against the emperor.
Their guess is of course correct. Yun just wanted to increase the number of troops. It was not that he had not thought about not expanding the scale of the war for the time being, that is, not increasing the number of troops. But now there are less than 80,000 Ming troops in Bangladesh, while the enemy has ten
Fifty thousand, if we can't maintain the current control area, we will definitely be suppressed, and even most of the places will be lost. If we want to maintain the situation, we can only increase the number of troops. Since we must increase the number of troops, we might as well send all the needed troops and horses there at once.
India, annihilate the main force of the entire North Indian country's army in one battle, once and for all. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty also has this strength.
"Since all my dear friends think that we should increase our troops, I will issue an order to recruit another 300,000 horses from the Central Plains and send them to India! Then I will issue an order to all the foreign countries to send soldiers and horses to fight with the Ming army in India!" Yun said.
.
"I obey the decree." Everyone present agreed.
"In addition, since the Delhi Sultanate has also sent troops to support Bangladesh, the vassal and fan kingdoms in the northwest should also take action. Send an order to Qin Fan, the White Horde Khanate and other fan countries, asking them to send troops south to attack India!"
Yun said again, "I will write a letter to Shang Bing privately, telling him that the land in India cannot be given to him, but he can plunder the wealth and population from India. The same is true for those foreign countries. As for how many troops they sent.
"Ma, I have to read the report from Jinyiwei first to see how many people he has and how many troops he can send." He thought again.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Jinglong and others agreed again.
"For this battle, the Central Plains guard posts must be recruited from all over the country, but mainly from the southern provinces. India has a humid climate, and most northerners are not adaptable to it, while southerners are more adaptable. However, northern provinces must also be recruited, and tens of millions of people must be recruited.
We cannot just recruit guards from the southern provinces. As for how many soldiers to recruit from which province, you first draw up a plan for me to see."
"The guards in the capital will send another 80,000 troops, including four Shangzhi guards and eight other Jingwei." Yun ordered again.
Li Jinglong and others agreed one by one, and Yun gave a few more instructions to make them retreat.
"Qin Qing, why don't you retreat?" Yun asked again.
"How dare I leave before the official orders me to do my errands?" Qin Song replied.
"You." Yun said with a smile: "You have guessed my thoughts. I do have an errand to give you."
"Although I ordered Zhang Wuji to become the leader of the White Lotus Cult, you have been assisting him from the side. In your opinion, can those White Lotus Cultists be used?"
"I think they can barely be used. If they are sent to India, they can assist the army in the battle." Qin Song said.
"In this case, I will officially issue a decree to pardon these White Lotus cultists." Yun immediately made up his mind.
"Qin Qing, although I have ordered Wuji to lead these White Lotus cultists, I am still a little worried. After all, he is too young, less than thirty years old this year, and has never run similar errands before, so I am always a little worried. Qin Qing
, I want you to take charge of the White Lotus Cult, are you willing?"
'Finally here!' Qin Song thought in his heart. He had long thought that Yun was going to change his official position as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, but he never knew which yamen he would go to or what errand he would do. After hearing Yun's words, he
Finally got it.
"I am willing." He immediately agreed. He had not guessed about the errand that Yun gave him, and he was not willing to go to India. But how could he dare to disobey Yun's order? "Fortunately, there is a war in India, and I will go to India to carry out an errand for His Majesty."
I will definitely not be stingy with rewards, and my title should also be mentioned. It's not bad.' He could only think this way.
"Don't worry, Aiqing, I will not treat you badly. I will also credit Aiqing for commanding the White Lotus cultists, not Zhang Wuji," Yun said again.
