In early May of the 18th year of Yongye, the Qing Dynasty sent troops to Tibet again in the Western Regions. This time Kant made sufficient preparations. With the experience of sending troops to Tibet for the first time, the Qing army's reaction to the plateau climate was not as strong as the first time.

The leaders of Longkodo were still leading troops in Tibet, including deputy generals Xibao, Hani, and Suken, Gao Jia, etc., who were basically the original team that sent troops last time. In addition, the Qing army mobilized a total of 60,000 elite troops, and this force was nearly half of the total military force of the Qing Dynasty. From this point, Kant's determination can be seen.

In late May, the Qing army marched in three directions and entered Tibet.

The Qing army attacked Tibet again, and Cewang Alabandan did not send troops to stop it. First, it was because it was not sure about the Qing army's entry route, and second, the Qing army returned in vain last attack on Tibet, which gave Cewang Alabandan great confidence in the geographical advantages of Tibet. In his opinion, the Qing army came here this time probably no different from the last time. The Qing army, who had just entered Tibet, would soon be unable to stand the plateau climate in Tibet. As long as he retreated appropriately and distanced himself from the Qing army, the Qing army would naturally retreat at that time.

I have to say that Cewang Alabutan had a good idea, but he didn't expect that Kant had made a full half year preparation to invade Tibet. In addition, the Qing army had already felt the climate in Tibet once before. This time, with the preparation in advance, although the Qing army still did not adapt to the plateau, it was much better than the last time.

After the Qing army entered Tibet, the three armies of the Qing army took a short rest, and then launched a large-scale attack on the south. Sibo took the east route and marched on the west route of Hani. Longkodo's middle route was directed directly at Lassa, and it was in full force, with angering the Tibet.

At this time, Cewang Alabandan rushed to stop him, but in front of the Qing army who had been prepared, Cewang Alabandan was defeated and returned after three battles. The Qing army advanced straight in and entered Tibet in just one month. Cewang Alabandan was very frightened and hurriedly dispatched troops from all over the place to defend Lassa, and at the same time sent people to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty, the capital.

In the side hall where Zhu Yicheng works, today Jiang Jin, Zhuang Yan and Ma Gongcheng sit upright, listening to Zhang Ran, the commander of the Jinyiwei standing beside him talking about the Qing Dynasty in the Western Regions.

As Zhang Ran told the story, everyone's expressions seemed a little relaxed, especially with a faint smile on the corner of Jiang Jin's mouth.

"Jiang Qing, what do you think about this?" After Zhang Ran finished speaking, Zhu Yicheng turned his attention to Jiang Jin and asked.

Jiang Jin stood up and saluted Zhu Yicheng: "The Western Regions are in front of you. I congratulate you for Your Majesty and my Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as Jiang Jin finished speaking, Zhuang Yan and Ma Gongcheng also stood up to salute and congratulate him.

Zhu Yicheng was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face. The news from the Jinyiwei was indeed good news. Kant was very talented and actually learned from the Ming Dynasty to build a construction corps in the Western Regions, intending to reform and reform. However, Kant did not expect what a man was like. In addition, Kant did not have the capable ministers and officials who were familiar with civil affairs to promote this matter, which actually made a big joke.

The Jinyiwei made contributions to the Jinyiwei's news from the Western Regions to the capital so quickly. Before the pseudo-Prince Qingchun entered the capital, the Jinyiwei planted a nail next to him. This nail was either someone else, or Guan Xiaowu.

When he was in the capital, Guan Xiaowu helped Prince Chun a lot, and even showed his loyalty to him and his yearning for the "Qing Dynasty". When Prince Chun left, Guan Xiaowu was willing to abandon the capital's property and go to the Western Regions with him, which made Prince Chun closer and trust in Guan Xiaowu.

Guan Xiaowu and Prince Chun are old acquaintances. They are from the Guarjia clan of the eight major surnames of the Qing Dynasty. From this point of view, they are well-known. When they were in the capital, Guan Xiaowu even ran away for Prince Chun and put in a lot of effort. How could Prince Chun, who took the initiative to ask to follow him and always like to make friends and be loyal to him?

In this way, Guan Xiaowu followed Prince Chun to the Western Regions and became Prince Chun's confidant. But Prince Chun never expected that Guan Xiaowu, who was regarded as his confidant, was actually from the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei. At present, this nail was firmly stuck by Prince Chun's side. With Prince Chun's status, it can be said that Guan Xiaowu had already grasped the Qing Dynasty's every move for the Ming Dynasty.

"It's done well, go ahead." Zhu Yicheng smiled and nodded slightly to Zhang Ran. Although it was just a faint saying, Zhang Ran was as excited as if he had drunk honey water. He knew that the emperor would discuss matters with three important officials next time. Although he was the commander of the Jinyiwei, he was not qualified to participate. He immediately saluted the emperor and bowed to retreat.

After Zhang Ran left, Zhu Yicheng continued to speak: "The Qing Dynasty's energy in the Western Regions has been exhausted, as I expected, and the Qing Dynasty may not be able to support it in the Western Regions by the autumn harvest."

"What Your Majesty said is that I think Yue Zhongqi can be prepared to continue westward at any time. This battle will definitely be the Western Regions!" Ma Gongcheng bowed.

Zhu Yicheng nodded slightly and asked Zhuang Yan: "Let the General Staff come up with a plan to advance west as soon as possible, and when do you think it will be more appropriate to send troops?"

When Zhang Ran reported on this matter before, Zhuang Yan was planning. When he heard Zhu Yicheng's inquiry, Zhuang Yan immediately replied: "It's already June now, and the time is a bit tight. I think it's better to be early than late. The center can make Yue Zhongqi move west immediately."

"Yes!" Zhu Yicheng agreed to Zhuang Yan's suggestion without hesitation. Time waited for no one. Besides, the capital was thousands of miles away from Hami. It took at least half a month to pass the order. In addition, the army needed preparations to set off. Although the Ming army garrison in Hami had greatly alleviated the logistics of the logistics, after all, the construction corps was not established for a long time, and logistics depended on the central allocation.

Of course, with the preparations over the past year, it is no problem to support Yue Zhongqi in the hoarding of materials in Hami to launch the plan to move west as soon as possible. This is also the confidence of Zhu Yicheng and the major leaders of the Military Affairs Office. According to the calculations of the General Staff and Yue Zhongqi's previous report, it only takes five days for the troops to arrive at Hami to complete the preparation and then move westward.

Zhu Yicheng had made many plans to completely take over the Western Regions, but no matter which plan, it would take at least two or three years in his opinion.

Although the Qing Dynasty was no longer as good as before, after all, its strength in the Western Regions was still high, and the ethnic issues in the Western Regions were complicated, Zhu Yicheng did not want to take on this burden so early, and intended to make the Qing Dynasty go to the Western Regions for two more years before making plans to advance westward.
