"The eight battalions of the Beijing Army and the ten imperial guards have set off for six days. According to yesterday's military report, it has been to Changhe Prefecture and is expected to arrive in Yinchuan in about twenty days."

"The four guards in Hexi and the two guards in Hedong have arrived at Fengxiang Prefecture. It is expected to arrive in Hami within six days."

"The mighty and left and right guards have arrived at Dongsheng and are on standby. The left and right guards of Liao, Zhenliao, and the left and right guards of Chenyang have gathered to standby..."

"Shanxi, Henan, and Beizhi have recruited civil servants as planned. Until now, more than 56,800 civil servants have been recruited, and some pack horses, mules, and donkeys have been collected. It is expected that by the end of the month, there will be a population of 100,000 civil servants and 70,000 livestock, which is enough to initially achieve logistical support for the large army's conquest."

In Yinchuan Government Office, sand table maps were placed. Military aircraft officers stood on one side, and the emperor sat upright. A military aircraft officer stood in front of the sand table, explaining the preparations for the current war.

The emperor never spoke, listened silently, and at the same time outlined the war in his mind.

Since we decided to lead the army in person, it is naturally impossible to make a small fuss.

Since ancient times, borders have stretched across the northern border and spread for thousands of miles.

When the Central Plains dynasty was strong, the northern expedition of grasslands was mostly caused by several large armies to conquer the grasslands.

This is naturally the case with Daheng.

According to the combat plan formulated by the General Secretary and issued by the emperor, this northern expedition was also divided into four armies.

The route was northwest, led the northwest border army by Duke Ding, and led the Heshuote troops to march towards the northwest Tibet. The route was separated from Liao Province and entered the grassland, and attacked the flanks. The Duke of Liao Province led the army of Jizhen, exiting from Xifengkou, echoing the Liao Province's partial troops, and attacking the grassland together.

The last journey was naturally the main force of the central army commanded by the emperor. He came out of Hetao and was in the middle command. He could enter the northwest and gallop across the grassland. According to the plan, he would also go to the grassland first, and assisted by the two armies of Jizhen and Liao Province to fight the main force of Mongolia, and then enter the northwest, and succeed in one battle.

Such a strategy cannot be said to be bold or unwilling.

In fact, after the Emperor's determination and ordered the General Staff to formulate a strategic plan, the plan presented by the General Staff Department was completely opposite to this plan.

If this plan seems to be a reckless and rampant approach, then the initial plan is to take steady steps and follow each other.

According to the General Staff’s initial idea, although it is generally the same as it is, the specific strategic rhythm is to first step on the grassland and then the northwest.

That is, the northwestern border army only wanted to deter the Hoshuo special troops to fight the frontcourt, to deter the northwest Junggar, the emperor commanded the three armies, entered the grassland, and after pacifying Mongolia, they entered the northwest again, attacked the front and back, and achieved success in one battle.

This plan seemed to have been approved by the emperor, but with the arrival of the grassland situation, this plan was completely changed.

Since the shocking Hongmen Banquet by Lin Danhan ended, the entire grassland has been filled with unprecedented turmoil.

Before, Lin Dankhan and Mongolia were, no matter what, they would always be the nominal unification of the south and north of the desert.

After this Hongmen Banquet, there is no doubt that the unified Mongolia has completely collapsed.

The loose alliance system of the tribe can become one, and it depends on the involvement of interests. At this Hongmen banquet, the butcher knife raised by Lin Danhan and the naked eating image obviously completely shattered this condensed interest.

After that Hongmen Banquet, Daheng had not even had time to intervene. Dozens of tribes of all sizes, large and small, broke with Lin Danhan in the south and north of the desert. Immediately afterwards, Daheng made a rampant move and took this opportunity to win over and divide. The results in just a few months were much more than Daheng's years of penetration and encroachment on the grasslands.

Under the threat of life and death, a considerable number of grassland tribes had to crawl under Daheng. Even if they surrendered, a considerable number of them had different thoughts.

But for Daheng and the emperor, he never thought that these Mongolian tribes would be able to be loyal and surrender for a while.

Especially now, the war is about to begin, and this is even more so.

If the situation in the grassland is normal, it will naturally be of great benefit to Daheng. The emperor will not decide to send troops. It will be another big show of watching the tiger fight. This will also benefit Daheng the most.

But after the Hongmen Banquet, the grassland changes brought about not only the disintegration of Mongolia. This disintegration, for Lin Dankhan and Mongolia, in some ways, it was a reform of force, which took away the brilliance, removed the ills and left behind pure Mongolia.

Mongolia, which was vast and intriguing and infighting in the past, fell apart, and the rest was the existence dominated by Lin Dankhan's will.

In addition, after the Hongmen Banquet, the three major members of Junggar formed a joint alliance with Lin Dankhan, which brought about a terrorist alliance across the south, north and west of the desert.

If Daheng does not intervene and maintains the previous momentum of fanning the flames, it is to raise the enemy as a disaster. This enemy and this trouble will inevitably have taken off, allowing the original chaos of the grassland to condense. A grassland and Tibet that is twisted into one rope will be enough to make Daheng's northern border never have peace!

In this battle, Daheng had to fight!

In the past, Daheng’s many preparations had to change accordingly in this great change.

From the northwest, to Hetao, to Jizhen and Liao Province, several large armies all came out together.

This northwest has spread to Liao Province, covering the entire northern border of Daheng.

The Beijing Army, the Imperial Army, the Northwest Frontier Army, the Jizhen Frontier Army, the Liao Provincial Frontier Army, and the Hetao Frontier Army, have as many as nearly 500,000 troops.

It is expected to conquer 200,000 civilians and 100,000 batches of mules and horses.

Such a scale is completely enough to be called an army of millions.

And this is just the basic condition of war.

War is the national strength.

The most important national strength is logistics.

Food, grass, and weapons should be the top priority.

There were 500,000 troops, plus more than 200,000 civilians and nearly 200,000 mules and horses.

When a person eats a horse and chews it, when any number is multiplied by a million, and it is a million that lasts every day. You can imagine how terrifying the number is.

In just the preliminary preparation stage, it is the allocation of more than one million stones of grain and grass. If the subsequent war continues, it will be at least a collection of millions of grain and grass.

And this is just food, weapons, money, and even the rewards and pensions after the war. In addition, Daheng has always cherished the people's strength. The recruitment of people has always been very cautious. Even if the recruitment of people is recruited, even the recruitment of people needs to allocate a considerable amount of money and grain subsidies...

Everything is consumed astronomical.

The three armies are easy to move, but money and food are... difficult to move.
