The first thousand two hundred and eighty-six chapters of the unification of China, the sun never sets (5)

The emperor of the Chinese Empire issued an order to conquer the Mughal Kingdom. In addition, Emperor Zhang Ping'an personally led the expedition, and the entire empire started to revolve around the expedition. The three most powerful commercial giants of the Chinese Empire, the Maritime Merchant Alliance, the "Ping'an" merchants, and the "Royal Four Seas" merchants responded one after another. In order to fight against the Mughals, the three commercial giants subscribed 90% of the war bonds of the five million imperial gold coins issued by the Chinese Empire. Everything was easy to deal with with with money. Many materials suitable for combat in the south accelerated production, and workshops for producing weapons for the empire started day and night. The veil and rainproof oil cloth that can be used as mosquito nets were wrapped by the "Ping'an" merchants, and the expedition baggage

Chongying required the "Royal Four Seas" businesses to produce large quantities of cotton socks. With huge demand from the army, the sewing machine just produced from the Royal Experimental Workshop triggered a three-part business alliance to compete. Although this machine driven by human feet is not big, its ability to produce clothes a day is dozens of times that of ordinary people. Other similar machines that replace human power spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and various industries in the empire showed explosive growth. The tax revenue of the imperial court mainly comes from commercial tax and mining tax. Long Tao, deputy prime minister of the Chinese Empire's domestic cabinet, coordinated national taxes. When the imperial commercial transactions grew rapidly, the imperial commercial tax revenue also reached a peak.

The Chinese Empire's imperial court had money, and the progress of building a new Yellow River channel was also accelerating. In order to support Emperor Zhang Ping'an's expedition to the Mughal Empire, the Chinese Empire's imperial court began to broaden the road to the south. There were three main roads for the Chinese Empire to repair, one was the official road from the imperial capital Chang'an to Sichuan, from Guizhou to Yunnan, and the other was to go to Huguang and then to Yunnan. There was also a road from Gansu to Duogandusi to enter Wusizangdusi. This road was not easy to walk, but it was the main road for the empire to control Wusizangdusi. In order to gain time, Emperor Zhang Ping'an ordered the recruitment of northern slaves.

, build three official roads related to the fate of the country. At the same time, Emperor Zhang Ping'an issued an order to lead Luo Tian, ​​the commander of the Tianxiong Camp, to lead his main force into southern Tibet to strengthen the Chinese army's forces in the area. This time, when he went to the Mughal Empire, Emperor Zhang Ping'an was preparing to take the guard camp and the guards to the four guard camps, and only Du Yehe's troops were brought. He chose the Yang Meimei's gun camp. As for the two hob bars, Zhang Ping'an would not let go. Liu Chong's troops in the Firefox Camp far away in Xinjiang were transferred to the Dugandu Sect, first letting the troops adapt to the local climate, and then joining in southern Tibet.

Of course, the one who stayed in the imperial capital was Marshal Chen Zheng. With this experienced veteran, Zhang Ping'an would not be afraid of rebellion within the empire. The Bailang Camp of Huang Zhi's troops, Yancheng Camp of the Yindun Camp, Zhao Guangming Camp, Qi Heng Camp, and Xu Zhen Division, which were stationed in western Xinjiang to Qi'er Jisi, five combat camps, using the strategy of virtual, internal and external external control to guard the periphery. With these five combat camps in that direction, generally external enemies cannot get any advantage. There are Lu Xiangsheng, a governor who is proficient in military and political affairs, and his white bone camp is enough to protect the peace in the southwest of the imperial capital Chang'an. Emperor Zhang Ping'an

The Xuanwei envoys in the Xuanwei envoy area of ​​the old nest of Ponucheng, which started, had two battle camps, Liu Yuhu and Zhang Chunsheng, and the battle camp of Zhang Youhe in Liaodong, and the peace of the north of the empire can be ensured. There are naval guards outside the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the defense of Liu Qingshan tribe on land, which is basically fine. The Taiwan camp is under the responsibility of Dong Heliang's troops, and the Chu Liuxiang tribe of the Northern Sea station is stationed in the North Sea, forming the defense island chain of the eastern empire. There is also a large army of the Zhangtong tribe of the army near Nanjing, which can support the east and south at any time. The Thunder God camp of Huang Wei's troops stationed in Hubei and Jiangxi, which is enough to deal with the crisis in the south.

Zhu Youqian's troops of the Chinese army were transferred to the west of the Esrege grassland and could support the western barracks at any time. Hong Chengchou, the former governor of the Esrege grassland, moved the Governor's Office to Helin. However, after the Mongolian capital Helin was captured by the Posou Army, he killed many bones and left behind. Governor Hong Chengchou had to abandon this place with extremely heavy yin energy and built a new Helin city 80 miles south of Helin. Emperor Zhang Ping'an was reluctant to leave the name Helin, and mainly had the intention to shock the local Mongolians. Several Mongolian Khan tribes in the hinterland of the empire, because they followed Emperor Zhang Ping'an early to raise an army, Zhang Ping'an led Qier Jisi.

The land was rewarded hundreds of thousands of miles west of them. Emperor Zhang Ping'an was a nominal reward, but in fact he wanted to move these Mongolian Khan tribes. Even the Hanshu Wen Khan tribes directly under the empire were ordered by Emperor Zhang Ping'an to move to the Tangluling area, and the Khans in the south of the desert did not dare to resist at all. After stabilizing the empire, Emperor Zhang Ping'an began to arrange a strategy to attack the Mughal Empire. Those who followed him were indispensable to the Chief of Staff Gu Xin, and the commander of the Chinese Military Intelligence Department, Qu Guozheng. As for the imperial vanguard in Myanmar, of course, they were the mountain troops Tian Peng Forest Wolf War Barracks and the Fu Ruige tribe of the Zhengyi Camp.

As the Chinese army's combat direction was in the south, the main force of the Conquering and Yixing camp, which fought overseas, began to gather in the south. In this era, the sea routes were not small. The Chinese army used more than 30,000 muskets and all ammunition prepared by the Conquering and transported to Yunnan by land. Then they passed three roads and finally sent to the Marine Port of Myanmar. The engineer battalion of the Zhang German division of the Chinese army was earlier than the main force. The 30,000 auxiliary soldiers were broadening the road from Yunnan to Marine Port of Myanmar with the cooperation of the local chieftain army. In that case, the Marine Port became a pure military port. Zhao Sidao, chief of staff of the Empire Conquering and Yixing camp.

, under the order of the General Staff Department, came to plan the military camp. Fifteen miles south of the Chinese Army camp, there was a Taixi camp under construction, which was responsible for the supply of food by the Chinese Empire. With Zhang Ping'an, the stingy emperor, the Chinese Empire naturally would not give foreigners free food. These Taixi troops had to pay food to the Chinese Empire. At the beginning, the Thais were a little angry, and they all said that the Chinese Empire was generous, but they did not expect their emperor to be so stingy. After these Thais ate the meals of the auxiliary soldiers of the Empire, from noble officers to ordinary soldiers, they were all deeply attracted by Chinese delicacies.

This war against the Mughal Empire made Western Europeans crazy. In particular, the news that the Chinese emperor issued bonds for the war made rich Europeans discover a brand new way to make money. Without knowing how to support the bond base, they also began to issue war bonds. In fact, in the decade of Chongzhen more than ten years ago, the tulip speculation disaster broke out in Europe and the Netherlands. This financial disaster caused a serious recession in the Dutch national strength, many Dutch nobles and civilians went bankrupt, and the entire country's credit was on the verge of collapse.

After that, from afar, the news that the Chinese Empire emperor summoned European powers to invade the wealthy Mughal Empire came, and the Dutch Stock Exchange resurrected the dead. The main reason was that the Chinese Empire emperor wrote a letter to King William II of the Netherlands, making a friendly outlook on the future of the two countries. Not only that, the Chinese Empire emperor generously forgave the Dutch invasion of Taiwan in his letter to the King of the Netherlands. He also stated that the Dutch king could give out 10,000 taels of gold to the Chinese Empire to bridge the misunderstandings arising from both sides over the Taiwan issue.

What made Dutch King William II even more happy was that the Emperor of the Chinese Empire said that considering that the Netherlands had just experienced the tulip disaster, the gold dedicated to the Chinese Empire could be repaid in 1655 of the Western calendar, that is, the fifteenth year of the Chinese Empire. Although the Chinese Empire was thousands of miles away, a letter from Emperor Zhang Ping'an could affect the entire Europe. At this time, almost all European powers fought with the Chinese Empire, and the result was that Europeans were defeated without exception. Especially the land power Ross people were defeated, losing more than half of the country's military strength. In recent years, Sweden, the European land power, has taken advantage of the Luo.

The Swedes lost their power and launched continuous attacks on the Ross Kingdom and achieved complete victory. In addition, the Swedes bought advanced muskets from the Chinese Empire. They fought against their neighboring Denmark and won a great victory, which forced Denmark, a Nordic power, to bow down and surrender. Therefore, a letter from the powerful Chinese Emperor to the Dutch king made the Dutch discover war bonds again. Unlike tulips, which do not have much value, the Chinese Emperor promised in the letter that as long as the Dutch donated gold, they could divide land larger than the Netherlands from the Mughal land after the war.

Europeans heard from the Spanish sailors that the flagship of the Spanish Invincible Fleet, the "Saint Martin", was once the largest and strongest gunboat in Europe. If compared with the "Saint Martin" with the Chinese Imperial gunboat, it can only be regarded as a medium warship. In particular, the cannons used by the Chinese Imperial ships are even more powerful, and their cannons can fire outside the range of European gunboats. As the Chinese Imperial guns were transmitted to Europe, Europeans who used muskets discovered that there was a huge gap in weapons between the two sides. The Chinese Imperial muskets had a rifle and were loaded with integrated bullets, which not only fought accurately and far in the war.

The loading speed is also very fast. It is said that the Chinese Empire cannons also had a rifle, so the whole Europe caused a rifle storm on the firearms. Many strange-shaped firearms made a brilliant appearance, but none of them could surpass the Chinese Empire's weapons. Especially when seeing the integrated bullets wrapped in silk, silk is still a luxury product, we can feel the tyrannical style of the Chinese Empire. From the inside, Europeans are very eager to plunder the wealthy Chinese Empire. Faced with the absolutely powerful strength of the Chinese Empire, Europeans can only hide their inner fantasy.

As the General Staff of the Chinese Empire issued a military order to prepare for war, the two powerful war barracks of the Empire's army marched south in the 11th year of China. The army was pushed south so early, mainly to allow these war barracks, mainly northerners, to gradually adapt to the southern climate. The two war barracks and auxiliary soldiers were 90,000, and each of them brought a bag of northern soil in addition to weapons. When northerners were not accustomed to the soil in the south, they added a small amount of soil to their meals. Although it was a soil recipe, they could effectively cure this stubborn disease.

The emperor's guards' personal army, the guards and guards and soldiers began to be equipped with brand new muskets. This new musket uses the method of loading ammunition behind the gun body, and can load ten bullets at a time. Emperor Zhang Ping'an is particularly fond of the guards and guards. In addition to equipping with new muskets, each warrior in the guards also prepared a revolver pistol. The guards and soldiers in the guards were even more excessive, and each warrior was equipped with two pistols. Shortly after setting off at the Eagle Battalion and the Blade Battalion, Hao Yidao, the commander of the guards and soldiers, led the headquarters to march southward. (To be continued)
