My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 855

The 36 Western Expeditionary Army led by Liu Mingzhi marched westward from Yumen Pass towards the [-] countries in the Western Regions.

The distance from the 36 countries in the Western Regions recorded in the history books, that is, the Xinjiang region of later generations, covers an area of ​​about 166 million square kilometers. The 40 army is as motionless as a mountain, and when it moves, it is like a dark cloud.

When there are more people, the march will be extremely slow. Liu Mingzhi's estimate that it will take about three months for an army of 40 to reach the Western Regions is by no means aimless.

How can it be so easy to get to a place where postage is not included in later generations? It is not impossible to estimate three months or even longer.

The 20 main battle army was only the cavalry Liu Mingzhi, and [-] cavalry came out from the six guards of the northern border. Facing the cavalry from the Western Regions, Liu Mingzhi was not sure if he would bring more cavalry.

This expedition to the Western Regions will be an evenly matched war, and it may last a year, two years, or even seven or eight years. It is not easy to draw a conclusion!

"Report to the commander-in-chief, report from the scouts, there are no people in the fifty miles ahead, and there is no enemy!"

"Continue to investigate, continue to investigate in batches day and night!"

"Order!"

The army spent a month in a boring march, but the soldiers did not feel dissatisfied, because Liu Mingzhi instilled in them the importance of the Western Regions more than once during the five months.

They went to the Western Expedition not to kill, but to regain the glory that once belonged to Han Jiaerlang.

The driving force of the Western Expedition Army is not the willow flag hanging high above the flag, but the flag of the Protectorate of the Western Regions fluttering in the wind and whistling.

The night before the expedition, the commander-in-chief made a solemn promise to the three armed forces that he must stand the banner of the Western Regions Protectorate on the territory of the 36 countries in the Western Regions again.

Once the soldiers are tired, they will look up at the banner of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, instantly full of pride.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, the letter from the golden sculpture of the capital!"

Liu Mingzhi, who was studying the map in the carriage, frowned slightly, the golden carving of the capital?
Could it be that something terrible happened to the capital?
"Pass it up!"

"Yes!"

Song Qing opened the door curtain of the carriage and went straight in, holding a bamboo tube in his hand and putting it in front of Liu Mingzhi: "His Majesty's golden carving pass!"

Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the bamboo tube on the low table with some puzzlement: "Your Majesty has finally left the customs?"

Song Qing also shook his head blankly: "I don't know, let's read the content first and then talk about it!"

Liu Mingzhi checked the wax paint on the bamboo tube, took out the letter paper and flipped through it, Mu Ran, Liu Mingzhi tightly held the letter paper in his hand with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"The Dragon Fleet is going to the West!"

"Going to the West? When will we have a fleet?"

Liu Mingzhi signaled Song Qing not to talk, he needed to be quiet, Song Qing naturally didn't hesitate when he saw this, and sat quietly waiting for Young Master Liu.

Liu Mingzhi looked at the letter in his hand again and frowned: "No wonder His Majesty forbids anyone to enter Jing'an Hall. It turns out that Your Majesty is not in Jing'an Hall at all, but went into the sea!"

"Your Majesty has gone to sea?"

Liu Mingzhi's face turned embarrassing, and he suddenly remembered that what he said seemed to be ambiguous. Fortunately, Song Qing didn't understand the meaning of going into the sea, otherwise his face would definitely turn blue from fright.

Liu Mingzhi fully explained to Song Qingting that the household department was paid more than 600 million silver by Li Zheng.

Song Qing nodded clearly: "You mean that His Majesty is not in the palace to clean up the Jing'an Hall, but to personally supervise the building of sea ships?"

Liu Mingzhi handed the letter to Song Qing: "Everything is above the letter, let's see for yourself, the continuous supply of food and grass for the 40 army plus the goods and silver taels prepared for the voyage to the west, I don't know if the Ministry of Households can bear it!"

Song Qing flipped through the letter, Liu Mingzhi got out of the carriage independently, looked at the clear blue sky, and sighed a long time.

"Xiao Jin, bring my horse here, my waist hurts a bit!"

Murong Ran, who was sitting on the frame of the carriage, leaped forward and a moment later, Young Master Liu's bloody BMW Fengxing was brought to him by Murong Shan.

Liu Mingzhi jumped on the horse, glanced at the countless queues that stretched for seven or eight miles, and slowly followed along on the horse with a hint of relief.

Compared with whether the national treasury can support the consumption of the Western Expeditionary Army and the consumption of sailing to the West, Liu Mingzhi is more worried about the quality of the seagoing ships.

The vast ocean is not on land, there is no room for sloppiness, and the whole army will be wiped out by a single move. The sea is always ruthless no matter what time it is, and it will never treat you just because you are a Han family. Show mercy.

Liu Mingzhi told Li Zhenghai that the number of people sailing to the west was 5000, and if something happened to the ship, the [-] people would be nothing.
Song Qing also jumped out of the carriage and onto his horse, looking at First Young Master Liu in bewilderment: "Your Majesty actually asked you to find a commander-in-chief to go to the West? Although you were born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the river and the ocean Compared with the sea, it is not worth mentioning, this is no small matter!"

"Brother, have you seen the ships of our Yellow River Navy and Yangtze River Navy?"

"Naturally, what's the matter?"

"How's the quality?"

Song Qing shook his head: "It's hard to say, but this commander believes in the skillful craftsman of Dalong, and the armor of this commander is forged by them! There has never been a mistake!"

Liu Mingzhi heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the setting sun in the distance.

"Yeah, I was thinking too much, I should trust Dalong's skillful craftsman!"

The sea-going ship supervised by Li Zheng himself must have passed the sailing test, otherwise he would not have received this letter, at least in his impression that Li Zheng is definitely not a hot-headed emperor.

Since he received the letter, it means that Li Zheng must have thought it through carefully.

"Let's not talk about that. You understand what His Majesty means. It is your intention to go to the West. You have to be responsible for the matter of the commander-in-chief of the fleet. There are 5000 people who are ready to sail into the sea, and the navy has never fought in the vast ocean, so the selection of the commander-in-chief is the most important thing, and he has [-] worth of wealth and lives on his shoulders!"

Liu Mingzhi frowned together and felt a little hesitant in his heart. An Gou'er stayed in the East China Sea for three years with Hoe and others to learn sailing skills, and Liu Mingzhi didn't doubt sailing skills.

But the ability to command the troops is hard to say. Whether An Gou'er can be the commander of his fleet of nearly 3 soldiers is constantly spinning in Liu Mingzhi's mind.

After contemplating for a long time, Liu Mingzhi's expression froze and he made up his mind, so he let An Gou'er be the commander-in-chief. No one is born to fight, including himself.

Have you trained yourself differently now?Since I was a child, I have led an army of 40 out of Yumen Pass to conquer 36 countries in the Western Regions. Why can't I be safe with my dog?

What's more, there are several people from Jihe to assist, as long as the deputy general An Gou'er is selected, he can take on the important task of the fleet's chief officer.

Having figured this out, Liu Mingzhi got off his horse and jumped into the carriage to start studying ink and writing with a brush.

The army was still marching towards the Western Regions in great strength and mightiness. After ten days, Liu Mingzhi stood on the frame of the carriage and watched the golden eagle circling away in a daze.

"Jiang He, don't let your brother down with the great achievement that big brother gave you a vast ocean!"
