"Your Majesty, Liu Jin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has arrived~"
While everyone was discussing the map, Liu Jin also came over.
"Liu Jin, you've arrived at the right time, come and take a look."
Seeing Liu Jin coming, Emperor Hongzhi also said hurriedly.
"Yes~"
Liu Jin nodded quickly, leaned over and looked at the huge Central Asia region.
There is no way, the Hezhong area is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, nearly tens of thousands of miles away. Even though the Ming Dynasty has already built a cement road leading to the Hezhong area, and established inns along the way. With the speed of 800 miles, Hezhong It takes almost half a month for what happened in the region to reach the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
So for what happened in the Hezhong area, the decision-makers of the Ming Dynasty who were far away in the capital of the Ming Dynasty could only look at the map and speak.
Because apart from looking at the map and getting a little idea of ??the situation in the river area, there is really no other way.
"This is the eight hundred taels of urgent memorandum received today. Take a look."
Emperor Hongzhi handed another memorial to Liu Jin.
Liu Jin picked up the memorial and read it quickly. The memorial was written by Li Tian, ??the governor of Hezhong, half a month ago. The 20 armies of the Ottoman Empire pointed their swords at the Hezhong area with great momentum.
Their slogan was that the Ming Empire was arrogant and ignorant and humiliated the Ottoman Empire¡¯s envoys. They wanted to seek justice for the humiliated envoys of the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, they were also raising a banner that the area in the middle of the river has belonged to their Turks since ancient times. They called on all the people around them to The tribes raised troops together to attack the Ming Dynasty and jointly resist the invasion from the east.
"Two hundred thousand troops!"
Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help but ponder after reading it.
The Ottoman Empire¡¯s 200,000-strong army is obviously not an imaginary number, but a real 200,000-strong army. Considering the Ottoman Empire¡¯s current strong national strength, they are capable of organizing an 200,000-strong army.
"Twenty armies, the Ottoman Empire's army is still very powerful. It is probably the most powerful army besides the Ming Dynasty's army."
"The Teutonic Knights and the Knights Hospitaller who punched the Safavid Empire in Persia and trampled Europe. Their navy monopolized the waters east of the Mediterranean. Pirates often looted the coastal areas of France and Spain. All the countries in the Middle East were the Ottoman Empire. vassal state."
"If the army in the Hezhong area cannot be stopped, our Ming Dynasty's operations in the Hezhong area will be in vain."
Liu Jin thought quickly in his mind. Hezhong was really important to the Ming Dynasty. It was the bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to continue to advance westward. However, he did not expect that he would encounter such a huge challenge and test all of a sudden.
"Liu Jin, what do you think about this matter?"
Emperor Hongzhi saw Liu Jin deep in thought, looked at Liu Jin and asked.
"Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire will have a war sooner or later."
"If our Ming Dynasty continues to expand westward, it will inevitably come into contact with the Ottoman Empire. At this time, the Ottoman Empire is powerful, ambitious, and has a strong desire to expand. It will inevitably have disputes with our Ming Dynasty, and war is inevitable."
"This time they attacked the Hezhong area. On the one hand, they wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the Hezhong area and expand their power to Central Asia. On the other hand, they also wanted to curb the control of our Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, they wanted to scare the monkeys. All the countries and tribes of Central Asia.¡±
"However, it is obvious that they chose the wrong opponent."
Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.
"Hmm~"
When everyone heard this, they couldn¡¯t help but nod their heads.
"Fortunately, we had already made preparations in the Hezhong area last year. There are 100,000 troops stationed in the Hezhong area itself, and another 100,000 troops stationed in the Western Region. We will expand the army by 300,000 later, just to cope with the possible coming. Challenge, I didn¡¯t expect it to be useful so soon.¡±
Zhang Mao thought about it and said with a smile.
When the Ottoman Empire mission came to Ming Dynasty last year, everyone had already discussed the relationship with the Ottoman Empire and believed that there would inevitably be a war between Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire.
Therefore, at that time, Emperor Hongzhi said that he would expand his army by 300,000 and add more troops to the Western Region and Hezhong. Now, as expected, it has just passed the winter, and the Ottoman Empire has sent troops to attack the Hezhong area.
"Let's all talk about what to do."
Emperor Hongzhi asked as he glanced around.
"Your Majesty, of course we will fight them. Since we have to fight sooner or later, thenHe couldn't help but throw away the memorial in his hand and said angrily: "They are looking for death!"
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
When the ministers saw that Emperor Hongzhi was so angry, they asked quickly. Liu Jian even picked up the memorial and read it.
¡°The Ottoman Empire¡¯s army broke through five towns in the Hezhong area and carried out brutal and inhumane massacres in the five towns. A full 50,000 Ming Dynasty civilians were brutally killed in the five towns in the Hezhong area!¡±
Liu Jian quickly read it and then told the contents.
After everyone listened, they immediately fell silent, and they suddenly understood why Emperor Hongzhi was so angry. Emperor Hongzhi, who always loved the people like his own son, would naturally be extremely angry when he saw this memorial.
"Your Majesty, we must retaliate tooth for tooth and blood for blood. If they kill our people from five towns, we will kill their people from ten towns, fifty towns, or one hundred towns."
Liu Jin¡¯s eyes were blood red, and he could imagine the tragic scene in the river area in his mind, and he immediately stood up and said angrily. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
