Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Lots of trade power, and a decent amount of trade goods. Overall production capacity is good, however they lack any huge centers of industry.
Goals: To expand the empire into the Caribbean, and perhaps look for colonial ventures in Africa as a way to boost the coffers.
History:
Same as the normal Mexican empires history, other then the fact that the monarchy never resented the congress, or the constitution. So rather then being ousted via rebellion, the monarch accepted the reforms, and turned most power over to an elected regent.
RP Sample: Same as before (Look at old APP)
429 - Do not remove. This is for tracking purposes.

As far as levying soldiers in from the surrounding countryside, you might have had a few days warning, so a few hundreds more from the nearest garrisons of little farming towns. Somewhere in that vicinity.
Huh, so slightly larger than your army (by a few hundred probably) but worse trained (being partly made up of levies) and with the "homefield advantage".
If the battle got to the walls of Kashgar I am sure you'd have lots of musket and rifle balls flying towards you.

Hmm? I'm getting your total force at around four thousand men, to the ~7,000 Mughal cavalry and Dragoons who will be attacking. Most of the defenders of which are garrison troops, not frontline soldiers.
I'm actually somewhat surprised China has firearms all the way out in the west. They won't have firearms in the east for except for with the 5,000 man Ever Victorious Army OTL for a decade, and this China seems to be less cooperative with the West than OTL China.
So yeah, 7000 firearm and bow equipped regulars versus ~4000 Wu levies and garrison troops armed with spears and bows.

Don't. You technically have a truce/treaty with them, no? Violating it makes you look like the aggressor, and makes Sardinia look like the underdog. Start sending warning signs about the development of a new Great Power, condemning Sardinian aggression, etc, etc. Perhaps send an emissary to the French, saying "Yo, we hate each other, but while we've been fighting over influence in Italy, it looks like the Italians are about to become a power of their own, and once that happens, neither of us will get our influence back in the peninsula."
Or actually start making alliances with other nations to counterbalance the Sardinians. You're allied with the Prussians and the Russians, yeah, in the League of the Emperors or something? Perhaps start warming relations with the French while trying to coax the Spanish out of their neutrality.
As for your army, while it's okay/good/whatever, get Prussian trainers or something; Prussia has one of the most disciplined armies in the world in OTL -- I assume it's so in this one too?
Also, for the love of God, remember the Habsburg motto: "Leave the waging of wars to others! But you, happy Austria, marry; for the realms which Mars awards to others, Venus transfers to you."

However, further comments on the situation of Austria, to underline the current situation, as I understand it: you're trying to become more liberal/federal in an effort to reduce nationalism and separatism within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, yes? However, the more liberal you get, the more your fellow autocratic emperors in Prussia and Russia will dislike you. Normally you could begin swinging towards the more liberal states, but you've been fighting France for influence, Spain has retreated into isolation, and Britain is gallivanting around doing god knows what.
You also have like zero chance at becoming allies with the Sardinians while you still hold Italian land, but conceding that Italian land would be political and diplomatic suicide, regardless of what you get in return for it.
In short, your allies are leery of your reforms, your enemies are as opposed to you as ever, and the neutral nations are "meh". Austro-Hungary has always been in a precarious position, but skilled diplomacy has saved its butt more times than I can count over the ages. You need to reassure your allies that liberalism isn't going to spread throughout your lands (a hefty dose of propaganda will do for this), stop fighting Italian unification until/unless you can get a coalition, and start wooing other nations like Spain and Britain while warming up to France.
I'd give this Austro-Hungarian Empire roughly a 20-25% of surviving, and that's if nearly all their efforts are devoted towards internal stability and reform, diplomacy throughout Europe, and defensive warfare.

The thing about liberalizing, I only plan to liberalize to the extent of Germany in WW1, so yes there is an elected parliament and autonomous states, but the Emperor is still very powerful. Russia is also starting to liberalize, in fact the Czar has just freed the serfs and massacred a load of old counts who opposed his reforms. Prussia is the only ally not reforming and they were pretty reformed in the first place.
I was thinking about becoming the Netherlands if Austria collapsed
