Chapter 926
But having said that, Lu Xiangsheng's situation is actually understandable.

Watching the Ming Dynasty continue to expand its territories, watching Sun Chuanting occupy at least two large Ming territories, watching Hong Chengchou's expedition to the Western Regions, recreating and even surpassing the original Tang scenery, and even watching the junior Yan Yingyuan, He is also guarding South Asia for Daming.To be honest, as long as you feel that you can still move, you will definitely have an idea.

This era is the best era for Ming Dynasty, if you don't take advantage of this time to do more activities, you will regret it in the future.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, and after thinking about it for a while, he turned his attention to the present moment.

The eavesdropping system is really against the sky. With this golden finger, although Emperor Chongzhen is in Delhi, as far as the situation in various places is concerned, from the situation of Hong Chengchou at Mingwei Fort in the north to Yan Yingyuan in Ceylon and Mumbai in the south. Zheng Chenggong's side also knows everything clearly.

After a comprehensive estimate, I feel that the preparation is almost done.Most critically, climate factors must also be considered.

If it is too hot, the South Asian side will be overheated, and it is better for the locals, but it will be very unfriendly to the local soldiers of Ming Dynasty who came from afar.

And if it is too cold, it will also freeze to death.The heavy snow can bury people.Of course, this mainly refers to the northern regions, such as Kashmir.In the case of the Persian Empire, it is the northernmost areas.

Today's time has come to the end of December in the 30th year of Chongzhen.After Emperor Chongzhen considered it, he sent an edict to Mumbai in the south.The departure time of the army is scheduled to be at the end of the Chinese New Year.

And here in Derry, of course.No matter what, other countries don't celebrate the new year, but Ming Dynasty celebrates the new year, and this is the most important festival. If possible, of course, it cannot be delayed.

Soon it will be the New Year's Eve, and Emperor Chongzhen's New Year's greeting is to destroy the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, and the momentum is very grand.

Then, during the Spring Festival, the armies made final preparations.As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, Emperor Chongzhen, under the watchful eye of the three vassal kings, set off with [-] troops as an early stage force.The first stop is Kandahar in the border area.

At this time, Kandahar was already in the hands of Daming, and the garrison general was Wu Sangui.The original Lahore was handed over to King Tang years ago.

After Wu Sangui received the order from Emperor Chongzhen to lead the army, he prepared to pick him up with great fanfare, and at the same time created a great momentum.All of a sudden, everyone knew that the Emperor Ming would soon lead his troops to destroy the Persian Empire.

However, there is one very bad thing in ancient times, that is, the traffic is too bad.To change to a later generation, it took only two hours to arrive by plane. However, it took at least more than a month for Emperor Chongzhen to set off from Delhi to Kandahar.

This time, if you are not in a hurry, you will be even slower.

In this way, even the deaf and blind on Abbas II's side, it is inevitable that they will finally know.What's more, he is quite jealous of the Ming emperor, and he will definitely send a secret agent to inquire about the news.

No, in the palace of Isfahan, the capital of the Persian Empire, Abbas II was a little dumbfounded after hearing the news that Xi Zuo had come back to report.

Before that, he had actually been praying in his heart, hoping that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would go back after recovering the original Mughal land just like last time.

However, now he is still disappointed.So the emperor of the Ming Dynasty even mobilized a large army this time, threatening to destroy himself. Was he full?
Thinking of this, Abbas II felt that he was going crazy, so he lifted the table and smashed the plates, venting his anger.

The civil and military officials below looked at this, and while they were surprised, they didn't dare to speak.

You know, before the former Abbas II fought against the Ming army for the first time, he was very wise and mighty, so how could he lose his composure in front of the officials!
In fact, Abbas II didn't want to.But if he didn't vent like this, he would really be driven crazy by the Emperor of Ming!
Abbas II knew all about it.

In the past, when my opponent, the Mughal Empire, was attacked by the Ming army, I accepted the Mughal officials' support, and easily occupied a large area of ​​territory that I had never thought of before. A bustling town like Mughal Lahore.

However, the good times didn't last long. Hearing the fighting methods of the Ming army, he even wanted to unite with Aurangzeb to defeat the Ming army in order to seek greater benefits.

Unexpectedly, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so good at fighting. Not only did he defeat Aurangzeb, but he also beat himself to pieces. In the end, he only led the cavalry and lost the cities that he had eaten before he was able to fight. Flee back to the country.

If it's just this one time, it's fine.He even thought about uniting with the world-enemy Ottoman Empire, and wanted to kill the Ming Kingdom.It can be said that it took a lot of time and effort, and finally the two countries joined forces to march eastward with an unprecedented scale of troops.

In the end, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty suddenly appeared again. Not only did he defeat the Ottoman Empire's army, he almost cut off his own retreat. He even laid an ambush at the border, causing his entire army to be annihilated.If it weren't for that blessing, this life would have been given over there.

After returning, successive defeats led to domestic instability, and he had to raise his butcher's knife.It's only just taking a breath, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has come to kill again!

Thinking of this, Abbas II felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Regarding the fighting skills of the Ming emperor and the bravery of the Ming army, Abbas II is definitely the person who knows best.

He understood that even if the strength of the Persian Empire was still there, before the two defeats, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty might not be able to stop the attack on such a large scale.

Not to mention, in the two wars now, the elites of the empire have been completely lost, and he has made the empire even weaker.I don’t know how many tribes will be dissatisfied.If there is a slight disturbance, there will definitely be a moth!

How can we fight this battle?
Abbas II was panting "hacihaci" when he lifted the table and threw things. The first thought that came to his mind was that he couldn't beat him, so let's run away!

However, this is already in the country, and if you run away, where can you escape?
Even if they fled to the west, the Ming army would definitely pursue them, and there was no way to escape.If you escape further, it will be in the territory of the Ottoman Empire.Now the Ottoman Empire has also suffered heavy losses, and it is also within the scope of the Emperor Ming's revenge.If he ran that way, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would just kill himself on the way to the Ottoman Empire!

Besides, if I escape to the Ottoman Empire, will they be angry and say that it was my suggestion to unite to attack the Ming Dynasty that caused the Ottoman Empire to suffer such heavy losses?Coupled with the fact that there is a feud, it is really possible to be angered by them!

Thinking of this, Abbas II was a little desperate.That dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty, let people live?

At this time, suddenly the guard at the gate of the hall came in and said: "Your Highness, the Dutch and British envoys have come together to ask for an audience."

As soon as Abbas II heard it, he knew that they must have also heard the news that the Ming army was about to attack on a large scale. They probably came to ask about the situation!
I feel restless in my heart, but I need to ask others, after all, their guns and artillery are very sharp.Therefore, even if he didn't want to meet people at this time in his heart, he still had to agree to their request.

Watching the guard turn and walk out of the hall, suddenly, a thought popped into his mind.Afterwards, the more he thought about it, the better he thought the idea was, and for a moment, he felt stupid.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor!"

Hearing the voice, Abbas II came back to his senses and saw two Europeans saluting him.

Thinking about the thought just now, he immediately became a little excited, and hurriedly wanted to express his thoughts.However, before he had time to speak, the English and Dutchmen in front of him were already talking first.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will personally lead the army to kill him!"

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, with us here, the Ming army will never want to take down Persia!"

"The two of us are here because we have good news to tell His Majesty!"

"Yes, we just received news that the additional domestic fleet has arrived."

"The reinforcements of our British fleet have also arrived. They will definitely protect His Majesty and the friendship between our two countries!"

"..."

Hearing this, Abbas II couldn't help but be overjoyed.This is really sleeping and meeting the pillow, it's a timely help!
So, he quickly asked with anticipation: "How many have come in total, and how many fleets of your two countries add up?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the fleet currently in Gomblon, counted by our two countries, already has as many as 110 and five ships!"

Hearing this, Abbas II, who was full of expectations, was suddenly a little disappointed, which was clearly reflected on his face: "Why is it so little?"

If these European fleets come more, then he can hire more troops to help him defend the city, and maybe he doesn't have to flee.However, with only such a small number of people, it is obviously unrealistic.

Seeing him like this, the British envoy became a little unhappy, and immediately said: "Our fleet is very strong, the Ming army has more than twice as many warships as ours, and they are not suppressed by us, and they dare not fight at all. Now our joint fleet has more than 100 ships, even if the fleet of the Ming Dynasty doubles, it will not be our opponent."

"Yes, we have a lot of sailors this time, as long as His Majesty can hire them, they will definitely help His Majesty win this battle!" The Dutchman also said.

The two of them came to tell Abbas II the good news, and they just wanted to take this opportunity to squeeze out more benefits.

After hearing this, Abbas II was not moved by them. He just asked, "How many troops can you send? I tell you, this time the Ming emperor personally led the army, at least [-] troops!"

"..." The British envoys and the Dutch envoys were immediately speechless.
