It is not a problem for Akbar to find out the strength of the Western Military Office, and Western Minister Yin Zhengmao didn't think this matter was a secret.

On the contrary, Yin Zhengmao wished that everyone in the world could know how many soldiers he had and use them to intimidate all surrounding countries.

Because the military structure of the Western Military Palace is different from that of the South and Eastern Oceans, although they also use the most advanced gunboats of the Ming Dynasty, most of the soldiers are recruited from the country, so they have the largest number of troops - from Myanmar to Bahrain, the Western Military Palace has increased its troops in this sea area year by year over the years, and has established more than 20 guards so far, with a force of more than 120,000.

Even Yin Zhengmao could not determine the clear number of troops in the Western Army, because his generals had many servants.

The military force composition is also extremely mixed. Except for more than half of Yunnan and Guangxi Liangdushi veterans, more military soldiers are recruited from all over the country.

Three yamen soldiers from Kaifeng, Henan, and boxers who have changed their evil spirits and returned to justice in Suzhou and Hangzhou, stationed in Goa to suppress the area; the Maohulu soldiers from Songxi counties carried spears and carried animal skin medicine and arrow bags, and walked through the mountains of the Decan Plateau with the mine soldiers recruited in the Lu family, Yongning and Lingbao areas in Henan to ensure that the minerals were bought and the cotton trade routes were not attacked by local chiefs.

They are familiar with small-scale battles and large army battles in the mountains, but are not very good at confronting regular military formations, and are at a disadvantage in flat areas against cavalry.

Therefore, when they received warning signs, the mixed army composed of bird gunners from East Zhejiang under the command of Qi Jimei, the general officer of the South Indian Army, and the archers recruited by Xuzhou and the long pole hands recruited by Shandong will quickly support them.

In the southern Indian provinces, most of these mercenaries who were not familiar with firearms were the most capable assistants of the Western Minister Yin Zhengmao. It is almost difficult to see the regular army of the Western Military Palace on land. Their flag troops lived on the sea all year round, driving warships named in southern towns crisscross the Indian Ocean, protecting the Ming merchant fleet that had tens of thousands of ships per year in the coastal areas.

In Yin Zhengmao's view, it is extremely stupid to use extremely precious time to make money to war with Safipos or Ottomans. To start a war with these two countries will cause attacks on the route, and all merchant ships will be requisitioned to transport supplies. A war will take at least half a year, and the direct losses will exceed 500,000 taels of silver, and the indirect losses will be ten times this number.

Therefore, the strategic choice made by the Western Military Administration at the beginning was to let everyone know how powerful they are, so as to avoid war and never hide their troops.

But it is difficult to make Akbar believe that the Western Military Palace really has so many troops. Compared with the Western Military Palace, the world that Akbar can see is too small, and the Mughals cannot even be included in Mumbai. The only seaside province is Gujarat, located in the north of the west coast of the Indian subcontinent, with two large bays, Kach Bay and Kenpad Bay.

Don't get me wrong. The Western Military Palace that Akbar saw was not in Goa, but in a small island on the southern coast of Gigirat Province, Diwu Island.

This island was occupied by the Portuguese in the past. After the Portuguese lost Goa, the Portuguese on the island sought to avoid direct threats from the Western Military Palace, most of them sought the Mughals' protection. The island was accepted by the Western Military Palace and the Island was accepted by the Western Military Palace.

On the island, they only had 1,000 troops. Even so, the soldiers were still unable to satisfy their food all year round. They often had to transport food by merchants to support themselves.

因为在这片没开发过的土地上,岛上的原住民太少了.

What Akbar saw was here, how could he believe that the information brought back by the envoy described the Western Military Palace as having more than 100,000 troops here? Even the envoys ordered to go to Goa could not see that the Western Military Palace's troops had more than 10,000 troops.

In addition to some well-equipped generals and servants in Goa Port, the most common ones are yamen runners who do not wear armor. They look like their ordinary soldiers, just wearing shoes.

When more clear information was sent back, Akbar began to prepare for a war, and the fortifications on the other side of Diu Island had to be repaired, and then two thousand well-equipped northern cavalry from the capital entered.

Only after taking defensive measures against the Western Military Palace did Akbar start to assemble large troops in the country and prepare to advance eastward to eliminate the troubled monks.

But compared with the military strength of the Western Military Palace, the military strength of the Tianshi Monk was the most worrying about the Mughal court.

"There are more and more enemy troops on the front line."

Even the nobles who had fought with Wanzijun, sent people to Hongbao to report that they could only get such news. They seemed to never know how many monks were.

What is the solution? Even the mage of Tianshi doesn’t know how many people he has gathered from all over the place.

All monks are all, they are scattered in various villages, promoting Buddhism, telling believers that gold, silver, treasures are things outside their bodies, and teaching them to understand the importance of sending gold to temples.

They had to eat and drink, and the weather was very criticized by this, but neither he nor the Six Arhats could control the monks' soldiers like the army. People's intention to come here was very clear - seek wealth and honor.

Without war, there will be no spoils. Without war, they will be restless and will have to send them to various tribes and villages to do their jobs.

At first there were seven or eight thousand people, but later, the Burmese monks came and became more than 30,000. Now, the Korean monks have also come.

For the little Ming Dynasty, war may not work, but it was still very smooth to mobilize monk soldiers for the Ming Dynasty. People from heaven and earth went over to explain the situation briefly and took out the appointment letter of the Xi Shaolin abbot with the emperor's seal. The King of Korea kept making the news spread throughout the eight passages.

Tens of thousands of Korean monks followed the merchant ships that bought cotton and sailed all the way through the Strait of Malacca and arrived in Bangladesh.

Japan's mobilization speed was much lower because they had too many monk soldiers.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Chen Bazhi jointly issued a joint order to the local area. In just seven days, more than 10,000 applicants were reported near Kyoto.

In today's Japan, the people in power are the general Chen Jiujing of the island, the general Li Rubai of Kansai, the king Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the general of the Ming Dynasty, the general Wang Rulong of the Kyushu, and the general Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general who was subordinate. They are the most powerful people.

After these people, Honanji Hatsuru was the most powerful religious person.

But there is no doubt that he was excluded and prejudice. The people above did not want to see him having the power to get monks to take up weapons. However, monk soldiers were not easy to manage in Japan. They drank, ate meat, killed people and married wives, and did not abide by the rules and regulations.

Not many people even learned Chinese Buddhism, but the request for help from Monk Tianshi made Honan Temple extremely excited... How exciting is it to be able to take Buddhists overseas to open up a new world belonging to the Pure Land True Sect?

At the same time, this is consistent with the ideas of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Tokugawa Ieyasu. The three of them hit it off and in a blink of an eye, they handed over a plan to make his liver tremble.

In this plan called the Monk Crossing the Sea Order, they had to transport 150,000 Buddhist farmers, monks and warriors to India in three years.
