After the general plan is formulated, the rest is all about the details.
Definitely not able to send troops this year, but there is no need to wait for three years, because they can attack from the sea. Either next year or the year after, there must be a conquest.
Before that, Huang Yao had to send people from Yunnan to familiarize himself with the topography and climate of northern Myanmar, and inquire about the news of the local chieftains in Myanmar. It would be best if he could stir up internal conflicts. In terms of ocean, Guangdong merchants were asked to take boats to engage in trade, and Datong secret agents mixed in with the caravan to land and inquire.
King Toungoo sent someone to Kunming to request canonization. That would allow the local officials to delay, ask for bribes according to the order, and disturb the matter of the canonization, but at the same time, it would not cause vigilance in Toungoo's heart.
When all the preliminary preparations are completed, the north and south will be caught off guard.
At the same time, one of Fei Yinggong's divisions was transferred to Chengdu to be stationed, and the family members of the soldiers also moved there. From now on, this division will be the local troops in Sichuan, mainly defending against Tibet, and may go to Tibet to fight in the future.
Fei Yinggong was getting old, so he was recalled to Nanjing to take up the post, and the teacher chose another person to take up the post.
?After returning to Beijing, Fei Yinggong moved to the Dudu Mansion and served as the Left Dudu of the Right Army (Zheng Yipin), and was promoted to the title of Qinghou with a single character. Whether it is deprivation of the command right, or returning to Beijing to enjoy the wealth, anyway, there will be no need to lead troops in the future.
Jiang Dashan took a division back to Nanjing to defend the capital.
Jiang Liang took a division to Hangzhou to sit in the south of the Yangtze River.
Liu Zhu took a division to Xuzhou to support the north and the south.
In this way, four divisions went south, and the northern border no longer gathered together to garrison, and the pressure on logistics and transportation was greatly reduced.
There are currently 3,000 imperial guards and 7,000 regular troops in Nanjing. Now that another division has been transferred back, the entire Nanjing army is 20,000. In addition, there are police forces and Jinling Mansion inspectors, which add up to more than 10,000 people.
Certainly not enough, it doesn't matter when Zhao Han is here, after two or three generations of emperors, more troops will be needed to defend the center.
There is no rush for the time being, and when the grassland is completely calmed down, two more divisions will be transferred back.
Zhao Han called Zhu Youdong, the commander of the imperial guards: "This year, we will send a fleet of missions to Western countries, and there may be wars along the way. In addition to the navy soldiers, I plan to let 1,000 imperial guards follow the sea. Among them, 300 armored guards will be selected. Only in this way can we demonstrate the majesty of my celestial dynasty. You pass the news on and let the forbidden soldiers sign up. There may be storms along the way, and there is a risk of being buried in the belly of a fish. Those who are willing to go to sea will have a starting fee, and the salary will be paid three times. In case of danger, I will Treat his wife and children well."
"Follow the order!"
Zhu Youdong took the order to leave.
The emperor's armored guards used to have only three hundred, but later increased to five hundred. They are all strong and strong men, wearing plate armor and fighting with hammers.
These are not the products of the Taiping Dynasty. They are all selected from the elites of various armies and killed from the sea of ??corpses and blood. Three hundred iron armored guards, seven hundred imperial city guards, and some naval soldiers can capture harbor cities along the way, and even destroy small countries if they play outrageously.
When Zheng He sailed to the West, he fought many battles on the way!
In the blink of an eye, it is the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and the heat in Nanjing is unbearable.
This summer was extremely hot, and the emperor couldn't bear it anymore. After reviewing the memorials every day, it was like taking a bath with his clothes on. Even though there were maids fanning the whole time, they were still drenched. Emperor Zhao finally decided to go to the mountains to escape the heat.
The summer resort on Zijin Mountain has almost been built, and this is Zhao Han's only "large-scale construction" except for the Forbidden City.
The civil servants are too lazy to take care of it, and they don't even have anyone to advise them.
?Because Zhao Han did not use the treasury, nor did he collect corvee. Since it was all paid for by the emperor, the civil servants would only chew their tongues when they were full.
The Summer Resort was not built grandly, and giant trees were not even used, because those things were too wasteful of money and manpower. Most of the wood is felled on the spot, and the house is built relatively low, which occupies a large area, otherwise it is similar to the manor of a rich man.
The concubines in the harem, the princes and daughters, all went to escape the summer together, and the princes and princesses have already had their summer vacation.
? It is troublesome to deal with official documents, and they have to be delivered back and forth inside and outside the city.
"It's still comfortable on the mountain, the temperature is several degrees lower than in the city." Zhao Han lay under a big tree to enjoy the cool air.
As for the temperature, there have been thermometers for a long time.
At the Qintianyuan Planetarium, the temperature is recorded every month and every day every year, so as to observe the annual climate change.
Fei Rulan came over with the maid, wearing a vaguely transparent gauze, because her underwear was blocking her, only two arms were half exposed. This is the ancient summer clothing for noble ladies, poor people can't afford it, and the thin fabric is too expensive.
"Husband, chilled??Come to her room.
Zhao Han was so amused that he walked over with a smile, and chatted with her with his arms around her.
After this year's summer, there have been no major floods in the provinces. Coupled with the favorable weather in the first half of the year, Zhao Han is completely at ease, at least within this year, he doesn't have to worry about it, and he can relax a little and play more.
? In the early morning of the next day, Aisha helped Zhao Han get dressed, and reluctantly sent the emperor out.
Zhao Han walked around the villa for a while, and found that today was actually cloudy. He came to the temporary office and asked, "Is there a rush?"
"No." Li Xiangjun replied.
Zhao Han said happily: "Then I won't work today, and I will go to the racecourse to play on the cloudy day. By the way, bring all the official documents, and I still need to review them in my spare time."
The emperor was lazy, and no one dared to stop him.
? In fact, the female officials and maids were also happy. They brought all kinds of belongings and went down the mountain happily, heading towards the horse farm.
The guards were also happy. There was a garrison at the racecourse, and it was closed. No one else was allowed to enter. These guards could be lazy.
Uncertain, the emperor will also organize a ball game and let the guards play polo to watch the fun.
