There are 50,000 troops stationed in Shaanxi, usually distributed near three important cities.
If we need to mobilize them now, they will definitely not all be mobilized.
The maximum number can only be transferred to 30,000, and the rest must be guarded nearby.
Of course, Jiange in Sichuan will also be prepared and will not be caught off guard.
But this is overthinking. Even if the Xiqiang and Uyghur armies surge forward without any hindrance, it will take at least seven days to advance into Hanzhong.
With such seven days, can¡¯t we let Jiange prepare?
There were carrier pigeons in the Dakang Dynasty, and they were much faster than horses.
With the frequent occurrence of disasters in recent years and the inconvenience of transportation, people are using homing pigeons more and more frequently, making the convenience more and more visible.
But the official documents of the imperial court still need to be transported by a post station.
Even if some urgent matters are appointed through Feige's letter, they will definitely be supplemented by formal documents transmitted through the post station.
Otherwise, it will have no legal effect and will be questioned or simply refused to be implemented.
No one in Sichuan¡¯s military force can be moved, and the garrison in Xikang will also send documents to them, so that they can do their best to guard against possible attacks by the Tibetan and Uighur tribes.
But that is unlikely. Xikang¡¯s fortresses facing the Tubo and Uighurs are all located in difficult terrain, and the geographical environment there is extremely complex, which is not conducive to a large-scale attack.

This is just like the Uighurs will never be able to take the nine bends of the Yellow River and directly enter northwest Sichuan - there are high mountains and ridges, and there is snow all year round. Even the infantry can't cross it, let alone the cavalry.
The same goes for Aba and Zoige Prairie. The snow-capped mountains and grasslands there are prone to various terrain disasters. They will fall into swamps and be buried by plateau snow-capped mountains at every turn.
If you want to get through there, it would be better to just kill yourself.
After discussing the reinforcements for Tang Hui, the ministers did not feel relaxed.
"Since the west side is prepared, the east side must not be unprepared." Zhong Chang said: "Considering Shi Wei's strong strength, should we provide more support to Li Nanyuan?"
"Well, of course it should be."
Cao Yi lowered his head and said, "Li Nanyuan Your Majesty, do you want to transfer him back and let General Fang take his turn?"
"This is not possible!"
Before the emperor could speak, the Minister of War and several generals immediately stopped him.
What a joke!
After Li Nanyuan held the battle in Huai'an City last year, he went to Shanhaiguan to take a rotation at the Great Wall defense line at the beginning of this year.
When he made no mistakes, you rashly transferred him back and replaced him with another person. This is definitely the biggest insult to Li Nanyuan!
A dignified general of the Forbidden Army is so distrusted when a war is imminent. What would you think if you were Li Nanyuan?
With Li Nanyuan¡¯s character, he might immediately get mad and leave his job and go home.
How can this be done?
The Forbidden Army has its own dignity, and it certainly cannot let Li Nanyuan end up like this.
Even Fang Kaiyue himself denied this acceptance of fate.
The emperor knew it, so he made peace in the middle, "It's better not to give it up. After the troops are deployed everywhere, doesn't the Gyeonggi area need a mature and steady general to guard it? Yinsong is very suitable. There is no need to replace Li Nanyuan. ¡±
"Oh well!"
Cao Yi didn¡¯t feel embarrassed about this, and just let it go if he didn¡¯t agree: ¡°Should we mobilize 10,000 Xiongqu Guards imperial troops?¡±
"OK!"
Emperor Jinghe pondered for a while and added: "Is General Xiong Quwei Zhang Tie and Zhang Yongli at Shanhaiguan?"
"exist!"
Zhou Zhixiao, Minister of War, replied.
"How about ordering Zhang Tie to lead his army to Jinzhou City quickly and take charge of the city's defense?" Emperor Jinghe suggested.
"It works!"
Zhou Zhixiao agreed without thinking.
Although Zhang Tie is General Xiong Quwei, his style is fundamentally different from that of Li Nanyuan, who is rushing like the wind. Instead, he is very mature, steady and tenacious.
Over the years, when Li Nanyuan was on duty at the border, he was fighting outside, and his base camp must be handed over to Zhang Tie.After saying something, he nodded after hearing this: "Don't worry, if you don't protect Jiangnan well, I, Wan Yanyi, will cut off your head!"
"What nonsense are you talking about here?" Emperor Jinghe scolded him immediately, "What do you want with your head? Wear it for me! Work hard for Dakang!"
"hehe!"
Wanyanyi did not dare to refute the emperor, so he could only giggle.
Cao Yi here didn't like Wan Yanyi's rudeness, but he still admired this general who always took the initiative: "You don't have to worry about supplies. Except for the horses, you need to bring all the other ordnance there by yourself." Jiangnan can provide enough supplies! It depends on whether you can really be the protector of the folks in Jiangnan and be worthy of their full support!"
Wanyanyi smiled and said nothing.
As General Hu Benwei, he likes to prove with facts.
Dakang¡¯s military system was established in the Taizu era.
There are 10,000 reserve troops in the six major field guards camps, ready to replace the guardsmen lost due to various reasons at any time.
" Then there are 5,000 Yulin Guards and 3,000 Qianniu Guards. Only the Xiuyi Guards do not need to be in reserve.
This is also an important reason why Emperor Jinghe gave Liu Mingqi two hundred feathers as a gift.
After all, there are always refills.
Even if the reserves are transferred, the vacancies will be filled quickly.
This is also to maintain a certain degree of mobility and to have an elite force that can step up at critical moments.
Sixty-five thousand elites are enough to turn the tide in a war!
