I am the king of the dead

Page 362

Since cultivating Wende, under the grand strategy of Xingwenwuwu, Xingwenwuwu created a civil fortress, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty was also captured first.

Yu Qian sat up straight and said: "Although he was very impatient, he is not an idiot. On the contrary, his policy is in the same line as his father's love and grandfather Mahamu's."

"When Ming is strong, it will retreat, and if Ming is weak, it will advance. Gradually, it forms a joint force outside the Great Wall. The slaves of Hami, Tatar, Wuliangha, and Jianzhou's three guards are all like this."

"Da Ming won big victories in the capital, Xuanfu, Jining, and Hetao one after another, but he didn't hurt his fundamentals, but he still went west."

"Once Da Ming frees his hand, he knows that he will definitely lose."

Yu Qian said with a full smile: "I also left Ara Zhiyuan to stay with He Lin first, that is the day when I plan to make a comeback."

"He will definitely come back, because if his heart is not clear, his mind is not settled. He is not reconciled."

Yu Qianhe is also an old opponent first.

After the battle of the capital, he fought in the Hetao area. During this process, Yu Qian always predicted the enemy first.

Yu Qian's ability to predict the enemy beforehand does not rely on divination. His ability is due to Daming's intelligence ability, but also because of Yu Qian's understanding of Yexian, and also because of Yu Qian's sophisticated human relations.

The mind is unclear and the mind is not calm.

Ye Xian lived a little older, but he is still in the state of life with me, and has not reached the state of no self. He will be blinded by ambition and will do some radical things.

Yu Qian went on to say: "Analysed from the intelligence of various merchants, Sai Yinbuhua, He Wang Fu, Wang Yue and others, the news of Wala's westward advance has caused an uproar in the Western Regions."

"The filial sons of the Timurid Kingdom finally stopped fighting for the throne, and can sit down and discuss how to deal with the advance of Vala."

The Kingdom of Timur, in the last years of Hongwu, conquered the city and seized land, extending to the Asia Minor Peninsula in the west, Congling in the east, and the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea in the south. Timur left a huge family property to his descendants.

Timur refused to accept Daming, cut off the tribute during the Yongle period, and marched eastward to Daming. Three days after departure, Timur himself died of illness, and this eastern expedition was over.

After that, Timur's filial sons and grandsons began to fight for power.

Yu Qian said helplessly: "From the third year of Yongle to the ninth year of Yongle, in just six years, the king's banner at the head of Samarkand changed four times."

"In the ninth year of Yongle, Timur's fourth son, Shaharu, succeeded to the throne and sent an envoy to Ming Dynasty. This is considered to be stable."

Zhu Qiyu said in a daze, "Wang Qi has changed four times?"

Good guy, the king's banner changed four times in six years, and when Timur died, the whole of Central Asia became a mess?

Lost Deer is the lowest-ranking dynasty, and no one can get better.

When Timur left, he gave the throne to his grandson. Unfortunately, this grandson also had a fourth uncle, Shah Ruh, who became King Timur in the end.

Such frequent regime changes will cause the ambitions of countless people to grow wildly like weeds, and eventually lead to local rebellions, and the country will fail.

Zhu Qiyu used the greatest determination and the most iron-blooded means to kill King Jili, but he still couldn't hold back the rebellion of the careerists.

Yu Qian said with a smile: "In the 12th year of orthodoxy, Shah Rugh died and handed over the throne to his son Ulugh Beg."

"King Ulugh Beg, King of Timur, has supervised the country for a long time and has many supporters. He is a very talented scholar. He built the largest observatory in the Western Regions to look up at the sky; he built a porcelain hall to display our Ming porcelain."

"Ulugh Beg is a bit like Song Huizong in this regard."

"At that time, there were rebellions in the east and west of the Timur Kingdom, and Herat, the important town of the Timur Kingdom, was captured by the rebels. At that time, the military power was in the hands of his son Abudu, who was good at fighting."

"When the crown prince was appointed, Ulugh Beg loved his youngest son, so he appointed his youngest son. He and his son Abudu, who was in charge of the military, had a fight with each other."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Father, loving son, and filial piety meet each other in battle, who will win?"

Yu Qian thought for a while and said, "My son won, and Ulugh Beg was killed."

Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea, and the son won, so the father couldn't see that the son was still cold, and pulled out seven wolves.

"Soon, Abdullah, the eldest son of Ulugh Beg, killed Abdul and ascended the throne. Just one year later, Buzain killed Abdullah, the eldest son of Ulugh Beg, and finally ascended the throne. .”

"From the 12th year of Orthodoxy to the second year of Jingtai, in just five years..."

Yu Qian paused for a moment, and counted with his fingers, Shah Ruh died, Ulugh Beg died, Abu Du died, and Abdullah died.

Yu Qian said with emotion: "In just five years, the king's banner at the head of the city of Samarkand changed its owner four times, and Buzayin moved the capital to Herat."

Samarkand is the pearl of Central Asia. It is a 2500-year-old city and a transit station on the Silk Road. It even broke a tooth of Genghis Khan Temujin.

The Timur kingdom moved its capital from Samarkand to Herat, representing the weakening of the Timur kingdom.

For example, the Eastern Jin Dynasty with clothes and clothes crossing the south, such as the Southern Song Dynasty with mud horses crossing the river.

What are filial sons and virtuous grandchildren?This is filial sons and virtuous grandchildren.

In the huge Timur kingdom, because of the struggle for the throne, the blood of the royal family flowed like a river, there were rebellions everywhere, and there were wars everywhere. It is not surprising that the Timur kingdom fell apart.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "I understand."

"Tamerlane died on the third day of his expedition to the Ming Dynasty. He failed to transfer power to his successor smoothly, which led to the first time that the royal family of the Timur Kingdom fought against each other."

"Because Ulugh Beg doted on his youngest son, he met his son who held the military power in battle. He was defeated and killed, which led to the failure of the second King Timur to succeed to the throne, and the change of the king's flag at the head of the city again, and finally to the point of moving the capital. "

Backstab and anti-backstab, rebellion and anti-rebellion, the real version of Backstab 4.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Why is Yu Shaobao studying this? Does it have anything to do with our Daming?"

Hu Wei thought for a while and asked: "Recently, Timur's envoys have been clamoring to pay tribute by sea. Is it because of this?"

Chapter 416 Central Asia's Excellent Matching Mechanism

Whether it is the Kansai Seven Guards or the Timur Kingdom, they were all considered as the Chagatai Khanate in the past.

Chagatai was the second son of Genghis Khan Temujin, who established the Chagatai Khanate. After his death, the division began.

How violent is this divisive struggle?

In just 20 years, the Chagatai Khanate changed a total of nine khans, and the khans were changed so frequently that the final result was divided into two Chagatai Khanates, East and West.

The Western Chagatai Khanate eventually became the Timur Kingdom, while the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was relatively stable.

In this era when changing khans is like drinking water, whoever has the power to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty means that he has won the position of khan.

Because the tribute to the Ming Dynasty is an important part of the financial resources and financial power of the vassal state.

Buzain moved the capital of the Timur Kingdom from Samarkand to Herat, which was farther away from Ming Dynasty, and the land tribute had to pass through Samarkand.

Samarkand, the pearl on the Silk Road, is the only way of the Silk Road.

According to Yu Qian's screening of information on the Western Regions, Samarkand at this time was controlled by the White Horde Khanate under the name of the Golden Horde, so Buzayin wanted to pay tribute to Ming Dynasty by sea.

There is no way to go by land.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "I sympathize with their difficult state affairs. Since you are earnestly begging, if you are willing to go by sea, let's go by sea."

Xunzong is a good man, he lives by himself and lets others live, but history has proved that a good man is not a good king.

What Zhu Qiyu said was nice, and he was sympathetic to the difficulties of the country. There were several reasons. Because the Oirats moved westward, the land tribute road became extremely difficult. This tribute is a profitable business, and of course Zhu Qiyu wants to make money.

The second is to implement the methods that Emperor Wen has always used to divide their combined forces and make them scattered. If they cannot be united closely, the Ming Dynasty can make referees more easily.

Yu Qian put down his teacup, and said with a smile: "Wala's westward march seems to be going very smoothly, and this kind of smoothness has even exceeded the expectations of Yexian, Wang Fu, and Wang Yue."

"The Golden Horde split into several major khanates, the White Horde, the Green Horde, the Kazan Khanate, the Nogai Khanate, the Chechen Khanate, the Crimean Khanate, and so on."

"When Yexian's army marched towards Batu Sarai, it aroused the vigilance of several khanates. They united together, gathered in Samarkand, and fought with the Oirats."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "I've heard, have the results come out?"

Yu Qian took out the latest military situation and said with a smile: "It hasn't come out yet, but it's not far away. The Oirats won...it's very easy."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the military newspaper. Samarkand, a famous city in 2000, has about [-] households, more than [-] people live in it, and there is an endless stream of business exchanges.

This is also the military, political, and cultural center of the Timur Kingdom. For example, the observatory and porcelain hall set up by the good man Ulugh Beg are in Samarkand.

I also want to go to Batu Sarai to be a khan first, but many khanates are used to being wild, and they don't want to have a father on their heads at all. They formed an anti-Van alliance and gathered in Samarkand to join in the grand event.

Zhu Qiyu didn't know how to describe this war. He could only say that it was indeed an excellent matching mechanism in Central Asia.

The matching mechanism in East Asia is very scary.

For example, North Korea, the unfilial son of the Ming Dynasty, had a regular army of [-] to [-]. For example, the rebellious son of the Ming Dynasty, Japan, had more than [-] troops because it was collapsing from a second-class military leader to a chaotic world.

This place in East Asia is a monster house. Living in East Asia is really difficult.

Zhu Qiyu looked at this battle report for a long time before asking in a daze: "Because of the ownership of a river, the White Horde Khanate and the Green Horde Khanate fought first, and then the Kazan Khanate took the opportunity to attack the Nogai Khanate?"

"Yes." Yu Qian said dumbfoundedly: "If the countries in the Western Regions are only at this level, I doubt whether they will come back first."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly thought of the fact that in the pre-Qin period, they joined forces to attack Qin.

The Five Kingdoms joined forces to attack Qin, which were the most important battles before the Great Qin swallowed the world.

Among them, the second and fourth joint vertical attacks against Qin were won by the five countries, while the remaining three times were won by Great Qin.

In the Spring and Autumn Period nearly 2000 years ago, there were no such disturbances as internal strife or military confrontation in the combined attack on Qin.

The excellent matching mechanism makes Ye feel what it means to be at home and what it means to be home.

The rule of the Golden Horde is not even considered as the leader of the second-rank army, and several split small Khanates have no respect for the Golden Horde.

They united to resist the westward advance of the Oirats, and as a result, they fought first.

Yu Qian said with a smile: "Such a good opportunity, if you still can't win, then don't come back."

"Instead, I received a strange letter. This letter was written by the Great Qin Kingdom. The Siyi Pavilion did a translation. It is indeed the Great Qin Kingdom, the Great Qin Kingdom that existed since the Qin and Han Dynasties."

"Great Qin Kingdom?" Zhu Qiyu picked up the letter written on parchment with some doubts.

Parchment paper is a kind of paper made of sheepskin and cowhide soaked in lime, the wool is removed, the two sides are continuously scraped, stretched, dried, and polished.

The advantage of this kind of paper is that it is easy to preserve, but the expensive cost is prohibitive.

The Great Qin State is the Roman Empire.

The name of the Central Plains Dynasty to the Roman Empire has not changed since the Han Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Jingtai, that is, in 1453, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, leading an army of 15, broke through the last isolated city of Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul, declaring that the ancient Roman Empire disappeared in the long river of history.

"The noble emperor of the Qin people..." Zhu Qiyu read the first sentence with a smile on his face.

Ming called Rome the Great Qin State, and called their people Qin people, and Rome also called Ming people Qin people.

Just like Dutch beans are called Dutch beans in China and Chinese beans in Holland.

This name is also the name in Europe today.

In the third year of Zhengde, King Manuel I of Portugal, after defeating Egypt and dominating the entire Indian Ocean, began to enter the Wanli Haitang through Malacca to learn about the ancient kingdom of Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Manuel I wrote a letter to Diogo, his number one pioneer, saying: "You must find out about the situation of the Qin people. Where did they come from? How far is the journey?... Are they tall? ? And everything else about them."

A parchment letter from the Roman Empire addressed to him, Zhu Qiyu.

Letters from foreign countries to Emperor Ming, as well as letters from Queen Elizabeth I to Emperor Wanli, were sent to Daming by John Newbury by boat.

It is a pity that John's ship was destroyed in a storm at that time. This letter went around in the [-]th century and was sent to China by Elder Elizabeth.

Elder Elizabeth visited China in the [-]th century and sent the original of this letter to China.

King Jili's defeat in Tumu Fortress was heard even in the Roman Empire in western Thailand, just like Ming knew that Central Asia was fighting in a nest.

Daming is not ignorant of the world, on the contrary, he also collects news from the Western Regions in many official documents.

Yu Qian's understanding of the Timur Kingdom, Kansai Seven Guards, East Chagatai, Timur, Golden Horde, Ottoman, and Rome all have understanding and records.

Zhu Qiyu read the letter from Constantine XI of the Roman Empire.

Of course, after translation, there is nothing disrespectful in this letter, on the contrary, the tone and wording are quite respectful.

First of all, Constantine XI congratulated Zhu Qiyu on his ascension to the throne, secondly, he hoped to send envoys to each other, and finally, he hoped to start business exchanges with Daming.

Zhu Qiyu handed the original to Xing'an and asked him to keep the file for safekeeping.

"Where's the messenger?" Zhu Qiyu asked suspiciously.

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "I was killed on the way here. This letter was written by Jingtai in the second year, and it took more than a year to deliver it. If it weren't for this parchment, the Siyi Pavilion would not be able to translate it."

In the original timeline, after Jingtai changed the crown prince three years later, the factional struggles in the court can be described as a party disaster. Who has the time to pay attention to the letter from the small country of Quoer?

"The Great Qin Kingdom is too far away." Zhu Qiyu did not intend to respond to this letter. As he said, the Roman Empire is really too far away now.

The last glory of the Roman Empire is the castle of Constantinople.

The Ottoman Sultan Bayezid, known as the Conqueror of Europe, wiped out almost all the crusaders who went to rescue the Roman Empire at Fort Nico on the Danube.

In the Battle of Nicoburg, the most killed were French knights and Hungarian soldiers.

After the Battle of Nicoburg, European countries could no longer organize large-scale crusades to support Constantinople.
