All the generals of the Ming Cult were present, even Zhao Linger and Yu Fei were invited by him.
When Zhang Wuji saw everyone was present, he said straight to the point: "Brothers, we don't have much time left."
"The current situation is very chaotic. Several princes of the Yuan Dynasty outside the Great Wall may go south at any time. Several rebel kings in the south may also take action against us."
"Right now, our Ming Cult only has Xuzhou and Longcheng. Although these territories can support each other from a distance, they are far from enough. If we really fight with anyone, we won't even have a strategic buffer."
"So I decided to concentrate most of our forces to take Shanxi, Gansu, Shaanxi and other places. I want to expand our Mingjiao's territory to the entire Hexi region in the shortest time possible. Only when the territory is large will we have the right to speak."
Zhang Wuji had just finished speaking these words when one of the generals below shouted, "Long live the leader, long live the Ming Cult."
After this shout, all the generals present shouted in unison.
The shouting scared Zhao Linger and Yu Fei who were standing by.
Zhang Wuji quickly waved his hand upon seeing this, and the scene suddenly became silent again.
Then, Zhang Wuji continued, "This expedition has to be made as a matter of urgency. Originally, I only planned to let Yang Xiao lead the troops to conquer Shanxi, and then gradually erode the local Yuan soldiers to the west. But now it seems that sending only one army is too slow."
"So, I changed my mind and decided to split the troops into two groups. Yang Xiao will lead all the infantry to conquer Shanxi, while I will lead all the cavalry to attack Gansu and Shaanxi."
"Right now, our Ming Cult is the smallest among all the rebel kings in the world, both in terms of the troops and the territory under its command."
"So we must win this battle at any cost. If we lose, the Ming Cult will lose the qualification to compete for supremacy in the world. The consequence will be that one day, someone will hang our heads on a city wall."
"What we will have to face in the future is not only this ruined Yuan Empire, but also Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Ten years from now, there can only be one master of the world. If that master is not me, I'm afraid all of you here will not be able to escape death."
"So I'll be counting on you all for this expedition. The next two or three months may be very difficult, but after this period, we, the Ming Cult, can rest easy."
