Qinzhou, also known as Tianshui.

This place was a very famous area in the Han Dynasty and was also a major transportation route to the Silk Road of the Western Regions.

There are two channels from the Central Plains to the Western Regions. One is to go north from Shanxi to the Great Wall and enter Mongolia, and then go west from Mongolia to the mountains and turn back to the southwest to enter.

This road is rugged and long, extremely difficult to walk, and there are great climate changes.

As for the other road, we go northwest from Qinzhou, pass Longzhong and go directly to Lanzhou, and then go straight to the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor.

The Ming Dynasty's strategic deployment in the northwest was adopted the latter path, which was to leave Qinzhou, but at the same time, it did not give up the roundabout way of Mongolia's attack to the southwest.

However, the Mongolian side was just a partial division, composed of a Ming army and Mongolian cavalry, which mainly played a role in conjunction, and the main force was still in Qinzhou.

Qinzhou has now become a large military camp, and the materials prepared are also piled up like mountains, but there are still a steady stream of materials transported from the rear through Guanzhong. You must know that once the battle starts, the materials will be consumed very quickly, and these materials cannot be supported for too long.

"Okay! It's good to kill! These borers should be killed!" Lin Jianzhang said angrily, holding the news that had just come from Guanzhong in his hand. Just a few days ago, there were more than 200 officials in Taiyuan and Xi'an who were beheaded for the Taicang case.

The execution was directly in the city, and countless people were watching. When these corrupt officials were cut off one by one, the people were joking and shouting long live.

On the side, Yue Zhongqi nodded slightly. To be honest, he was very surprised by the court's determination. Yue Zhongqi had never experienced the Fujian case that year, so he originally thought that although this case would be handled in a big way, he might only punish his main evil.

After all, war in the northwest is about to begin, and the importance of Taicang as the main provider of military rations is self-evident. Once the action is too big, it may hurt the muscles and bones, which is not conducive to the war in the northwest.

But Yue Zhongqi never expected Zhu Yicheng to be so determined, which surprised him. But at the same time, Yue Zhongqi also admired Zhu Yicheng's decisiveness. The so-called long pain is worse than short pain. Using this thunder means is much better than gently letting it go. This not only allowed the people of the world to see the determination of the court, but also helped the rear of the war in the future to be safe.

The Northwest Strategy is an extremely important military operation of the Ming Dynasty now, and it has a lot of variables. In addition, the northwest terrain is complex and the territory is vast. Once the Ming army enters the northwest, logistics support is extremely important.

If the war starts and as the front continues to move forward, if there is a problem with logistics at that time, the Ming army will face a dilemma, and may even fail.

Yue Zhongqi is a man who fights old wars. Of course, he knows that fighting is actually the principle of logistics. He doesn't want a fire in the backyard when fighting in front of him. This is also the reason why Yue Zhongqi specially submitted that memorial before.

But Yue Zhongqi never expected that his memorial would lead to such a big case. Every time he thought of this, Yue Zhongqi felt a little amused and crying.

"Lin Shuai, look at this, the news just came from the Jinyiwei." Yue Zhongqi didn't want to know too much about political affairs. He was a smart person, so he had always done his own things and tried to make himself a pure soldier.

The same is true in history. As the deputy of General Nian Gengyao, Yue Zhongqi's military talent is actually no less than that of Nian Gengyao. But everyone knows what Nian Gengyao ended up in history, but Yue Zhongqi has a stable life and even enjoys glory and wealth. This is the reason.

"What is this? From the Qing court?" Lin Jianzhang is now Yue Zhongqi's deputy. He took the things handed over by Yue Zhongqi and asked while looking at them.

After looking at it for a few seconds, Lin Jianzhang frowned slightly and said in confusion: "The Qing court intends to continue moving westward? Is this news true?"

"In my opinion, it is probably true." Yue Zhongqi said: "At the end of last year, news came from the Qing court that the pseudo-Qing lord Yongzheng and his brothers had a peace talk. Both sides temporarily stopped and had a discussion on the Eight Kings. From this point of view, the Qing court had realized that our Ming Dynasty was about to take action against the northwest."

"Last month, according to the Jinyiwei's investigation, Yongzheng seemed to have given up on Lanzhou and continued to move westward. After all, the news that we gathered here could not be concealed by the Qing court. Once our troops sent troops, from Qinzhou to Lanzhou, it would probably take only a few days to directly capture Longzhong and attack the city of Lanzhou."

"Although the Qing court has been in Lanzhou for many years, it is just a border compared to the Central Plains city Lanzhou. It is far inferior to the vast or strong city. More importantly, once the Qing court continues to garrison Lanzhou, our army will break Lanzhou, and the Qing court will almost be inseparable. Yongzheng is not a fool. He will never trap Lanzhou at this time, and will definitely find a way to transfer the center of the court first to deal with our troops."

"It makes sense. If it were me, I would probably do this." Lin Jianzhang nodded, then thought for a while and said, "But it is probably not that easy for Yongzheng to move westward? Although he had done some eight kings to discuss politics and brothers joined hands, how could Yongzheng get up to power? How could he get rid of his grudges with the fake Prince Cheng, the fake Prince Guo and others so simply? I heard that these two people were not in Lanzhou, but just sent people to the Lanzhou Central Committee as agents, and their troops were still in Dihua. Once Yongzheng was about to move westward, then the most suitable one would be Dihua. Isn't that...?"

"Shistor Lin is right, this is also our opportunity." Yue Zhongqi said with a smile.

Lin Jianzhang was stunned and reacted urgently. He immediately smiled and pointed at Yue Zhongqi and said, "Ship Yue, Shuai Yue, you really have you. It seems that you have already planned how to send troops and when to send troops?"

Yue Zhongqi nodded slightly: "If the Qing Dynasty's westward migration is true, then this is our opportunity. At the moment, the Taicang case is happening, and it will take time for food and grass to be transferred from the Central Plains in the later period, but the fighter's opportunity is fleeting, so we must not sit idly by. Furthermore, if we can take Lanzhou as soon as possible, we will grasp the starting point of the Hexi Corridor, which will be of great benefit to our troops and then move to the Western Regions."

"I agree with this!" Lin Jianzhang was not his mother-in-law and immediately agreed: "Take him to die while he is sick! Once the Qing court begins to move westward, it is the best time for our troops to send troops. However, Yue Shuai, I suggest that you can force the other party appropriately and let Yongzheng make a decision early. What do you think?"

Lin Jianzhang is also an old silver coin in war. When Yue Zhongqi was about to start, he understood what Yue Zhongqi had planned. After careful consideration, he gave a suggestion.
