The two of them had eaten the meal until midnight, and Zheng Sen also discovered that the ginger was still spicy.

Although Fang Jiuling didn't know much about the military affairs, he could be said to be able to handle the affairs of the countries in the Western Regions. He is still a novice compared to others.

Zheng Sen also set his strategic goal, which was to restore the seven guards of the Ming Dynasty Guanxi that had long disappeared.

Speaking of which, these garrisons were set up during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, but the court did not directly rule these garrisons at that time. This can be said to be a compromise between the court and the original Mongols.

Although these seven wards are on the surface belong to the Ming Dynasty court, all the officials here are held by the Mongols and allowed to be hereditary. This is equivalent to a small ward. The Ming Dynasty used trade to control the seven wards of Guanxi, and both sides could be considered as taking their own needs.

But even so, in the late Ming Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, the seven garrisons abolished their obligations to the Ming Dynasty and became an independent small kingdom.

Zheng Sen's first task was to restore the Seven Guards of Guanxi, which was of course different from the early years of the Ming Dynasty. It was not just about having an empty name, but about completely ruling the area and sending various local officials.

After the construction of permanent barracks around, various policies showed that there was no difference between this place and the inland land of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Mongolian nobles here in the past, if they knew the appearance, they would give you more or less some benefits, but if they didn’t know the appearance, don’t blame the musket in our hands for not recognizing others.

"The general will surely achieve success in this journey. I will lead local officials in Shaanxi to wish the general a smooth journey."

In front of the barracks, the 80,000 troops and 20,000 logistics personnel had already completed the entire team and were waiting to set off immediately. Fang Jiuling brought all local officials in Shaanxi to see him off.

"Mr. Xie Fang."

Zheng Sen picked up the cup in his hand and drank it all. More than a dozen regiment leaders behind him also drank the wine in the cup. This time he went to the Western Regions to fight was a huge challenge for everyone.

Although they have achieved considerable military achievements in the mainland, many people are still skeptical about the Western Regions.

In their hearts, this place itself is a place where birds do not shit. The Ming Dynasty never looked down on these places. It only needs to use trade to make money from them. Why do you need to go to these places to fight?

Zheng Sen has no way to explain to them for the time being that only after taking these areas can they know the importance of this area.

"Li Zicheng's people must pay close attention to them. It is not easy for us to win the current situation in Shaanxi. If these people are destroyed, all the previous efforts will be wasted. The four teams I left for Lord Fang are not weak. If Li Zicheng's people dare to blow up the thorn, Lord Fang must not be ruthless."

Before leaving, Zheng Sen had to give some advice. Although the entire Shaanxi is under their control now, some things are still difficult to say.

Although these people under Li Zicheng were banned, they once made the entire Ming Dynasty change in a state of chaos, so under such circumstances, they must not be careless to them and must control these guys well.

"Don't worry, General Zheng, although Fang is a scholar, he has seen General Zheng command on the ground in Shaanxi. Now the court is strong and powerful. If anyone dares to break the enemy, the muskets in our brothers are not fire sticks."

Fang Jiuling was telling the truth. He originally thought that he had to rely on benevolence, filial piety, courtesy and righteousness to govern the world, but now he understood that sometimes he had to use muskets when he should use muskets.

His plan is not useless, but for Shaanxi, which has just stabilized, muskets are crucial. Without these troops, he, as the governor of Shaanxi, would be a vacant shell.

"The army set out to fight."

Zheng Sen nodded, then turned around and issued an order to set out. Dozens of nearby cannons fired at the same time, and the sound of cannons shook the sky and the earth.

There were many people around who rushed over to watch the fun. After seeing this scene, they felt happy. After so long together, they had re-reached the imperial army.

It is completely different from the original Ming army. Not only do they not take a needle and a thread, but they also give them the best of their ability to help them. Without the help of the imperial army, how could they rebuild their homes so quickly?

Originally, there would be chaos after great trouble. According to this rule, Shaanxi, which had just settled down, will definitely be rampant. Who knew that after two months of bandit suppression, there was no bandit gang with more than 30 people in the entire Shaanxi territory.

Even if there was any, they were soon targeted by the imperial army and were eventually reimbursed.

As for Li Zicheng and his men, they stayed honestly on their own territory, but it is said that there were not many people on their territory, and those people were willing to move out. If Li Zicheng's army did not farm honestly, they would soon have no food to eat.

Zheng Sen's 80,000 troops were reorganized. According to the regulations of the court, each regiment would have about 10,000 troops in the future, and all infantry regiments had increased the organization of cavalry companies...

This time, Zheng Sen led the regular army of eight regiments, divided into five infantry regiments and one artillery regiment, and the other two were all cavalry regiments.

This is also because the Western Regions are vast. If the number of cavalry is too small, it will probably not be of much use. These infantry do not walk on their own feet, and they all sit on big carts.

The fodder that these animals eat every day is not a joke. Although these things can be replenished on the spot, the imperial court has also prepared it and the military station has been built to Jiayuguan.

From Shaanxi to Jiayuguan, all along the way were already dominated by the Ming Dynasty. The people along the way also spontaneously came to the side to admire the style of the Ming army.

This made these soldiers straighten their backs. Some people wanted to jump out of the carriage and walk. Can sitting in the carriage let people know that we are a mighty army?
