Chapter 368: The First "Second Goods" in History
Of course, it is not Yuan blue and white, and the middle of the plate is still decorated with grape patterns, with a strong Arabian style: this is a standard Yongle period rhombic plate, but such a large size plate is rare. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This will be enough for Zhang Nanshuang, and said to everyone: "It should have been specially fired for export to the Middle East, and it will be collected in the Adbil Mosque in Iran and the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey." ”
Guan Xingquan's face changed from cold to expressionless, and said, "Old Gui?"
"Don't be so vulgar, not many people will treat it as a treasure now, but it does leak, and it can be worth thousands of dollars in China. ”
Speaking of price, it is in Chinese.
If you want to die or not, Alyosha said with a big mouth: "It's only a few times, no flowers." ”
No matter how much money you have, if Brother Guan wants to sell it, the museum can buy it for half a street.
The value of this thing is now seriously underestimated, and I don't think it will take more than ten or twenty years, and millions of yuan will be appropriate. ”
Stuffed the big plate into Boss Guan's hand, "Hide it, there is no place to cry if you fall." ”
What's wrong with this plate in the US?
In fact, there is no need to dwell on this problem, there are many Chinese porcelains flowing into Europe and the United States from the Middle East and Southeast Asia, but many of them belong to the category of "folk kilns".
Regarding the guys' questions, Zhang Nan explained it in much more detail than when he was in Ibiza: "...... This Dalingkou plate definitely belongs to the official kiln, and the price was also very expensive five hundred and seventy or eighty years ago.
And in the Ming Dynasty, it would. You can't buy it without a special status.
With the exception of royal self-use and high-ranking bureaucrats, which were used to reward foreign kings and missions, international relations were more interesting at that time than they are now.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty in 1368, the Yuan Dynasty was driven out of the Central Plains and demanded tribute from the Timurid Khanate in Western Asia according to the Yuan regulations. Timur ignored it at first, and only began to send tribute from 1388 onwards.
Although Timur claimed to be a 'minister' in his official letters to the Ming Dynasty, he did not want to serve Zhongtu as his suzerain, on the contrary, he kept abreast of the situation and national strength of the Ming Dynasty through his envoys.
In 1398 he attacked India, and the following year he began an expedition to Asia Minor, hoping to first kill the Turks behind him, and then free up his hands to attack the Ming Empire.
By the end of 1404, Timur had mobilized 200,000 cavalry, known as millions, in an attempt to destroy the Ming Empire with a quick victory.
The army marched eastward, but at the beginning of the following year, he and his army reached the vicinity of Otrar in what is now Soviet Kazakhstan, and the brain-stricken-brained Timur fell ill and died, and the army came to a halt.
What followed was the national turmoil, and the descendants of each fief fought each other for the throne, and they no longer had the ability to crusade against the Ming Dynasty. ”
Hearing this, Guan Xingquan couldn't help but ask: "In 1405, Zhu Di had been the emperor for three years, and killing the Mongols was like killing a chicken, and this Timur wanted to rely on 200,000 to fight the Ming Dynasty?
"Well, history records that he planned it this way. This Timur is said to have fought undefeated for more than 40 years, and in the spring of 1402 he attacked the Ottoman Empire and captured the Ottoman Emperor Bayezet.
And after defeating the Ottoman Empire, this guy kept sending spies to spy on the military situation of the Ming Dynasty, and came to this conclusion: After Zhu Di usurped the throne, there were many opponents and the foundation was unstable, and it was time to attack with soldiers!
Time is running out, so let's get started. ”
Randy and these Americans don't know how powerful the country was during the Zhu Di period of the Ming Dynasty in China, but Guan Xingquan knows it.
After the Battle of Jingyan, Zhu Di quickly integrated his forces, and the officials below didn't care who was the emperor in your Zhu family, as long as they had their official duties.
As for those who oppose it, kill it.
Three years have passed, and at this time, Timur led 200,000 cavalry to attack the Ming Dynasty from the north-Xinjiang side, and he still thought that he had not forgotten the Ming Empire?
God, how many two things do you have to make this decision?!
How many years did it take for the Southern Song Dynasty to fall under the Mengyuan Empire?
Kublai Khan gathered most of the forces of Eurasia in 1268 to launch a war to destroy the Song Dynasty, and it took 7 years to conquer Xiangyang, and the Battle of Yashan was in March 1279.
Compared with the three years of Yongle in China and the four years of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty, the national and military strength...
Zhang Nan had nothing to say.
In 1405, Zhu Di didn't ask Zheng He, who went to the West for the first time, to lead an army to attack the Timurid Empire from the Arabian Sea.
Guan Xingquan smashed his mouth and held back the sentence: "It's really cheap to die of illness, otherwise his 200,000 army can go back alive and a few will be considered lucky!"
The frog at the bottom of the well does not know whether it is dead or alive. ”
Yes, Timur really didn't know how powerful the Ming Empire was in the early days, Zhu Yuanzhang was not the emperor in 30 years, and the national strength of China has been restored to strength. And Zhu Di is also a super strongman, and his ordnance and equipment are at the world's leading level.
After enduring the enslavement of the Mongols for decades, if there is a foreign invasion at this time, even if there is a dirt in the Ming Dynasty, it must not be immediately twisted into a rope.
If Timur's 200,000 cavalry really entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he might win some victories west of the Hexi Corridor, but Jiayuguan was enough for him to hate the battlefield.
Even if Timur Fuxing Gaozao entered Jiayu Pass and went east along the Hexi Corridor to the Central Plains, the best result was probably to be stuffed into a prisoner car and escorted to Jinling City by the Ming army.
It is more likely that Zhu Di directly cut off his head on the battlefield, Zhu Di is a ruthless man, saying that the emperor and queen have launched a large army to conquer the north five times, four of which are still royal expeditions.
This is for the emperor immediately, leading the army to fight is commonplace, and the military strategy and tactical literacy are also among the best among the emperors of the Chinese dynasties, and they are particularly good at fighting with foreign races.
The Ming Empire's northern expedition can mobilize 500,000 troops at will, and if it is Timur's cavalry invasion, mobilizing a million troops is like playing, not to mention that there are so many fortified cities and passes to rely on.
From this point of view, Timur, the title of "the first and second goods in history", is estimated to be able to fight for it.
From the perspective of latecomers, it is really difficult for Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan to imagine how ignorant the envoys sent to China by Timur before, and how arrogant Timur is!
Although the guys in the United States do not know the ancient history of China, they are not military idiots, and after some explanations from Chinese colleagues, this can be regarded as an understanding of how idiotic Timurid the Great was, which is described in detail in Western history textbooks.
However, historians believe that Timur's eastern expedition to the Ming Dynasty was a false way to destroy the Ming Dynasty, but it was actually aimed at the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. After destroying the remnants of the Northern Yuan and gaining the submission of the tribal leaders of the Mongol headquarters, Timur was able to become the Great Khan.
As for the elimination of the Ming Dynasty, Timur could not even eliminate the Chagatai Khanate at his doorstep, and the elimination of the Ming Dynasty is nonsense!
To go to war with the Ming Dynasty in its heyday, it is estimated that after a few battles, Timur's internal contradictory empire will collapse-and the facts have proved that as soon as Timur died, his heir Shaharu honestly paid tribute to Zhu Di.
And if Timur wants to fight the Ming Dynasty, he also needs to cross the territory of Warat.
At that time, Warat was controlled by Mahamu, Taiping, and Vulture Polo, all of whom were friendly with the Ming Dynasty and were crowned kings.
Timur Timur claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan, but the problem was that he was not recognized by the Mongol Khanate, which was dominated by descendants of Genghis Khan. For Warat, this Timur was an outsider with different religious beliefs, and was bound to be greatly hindered.
If Timur could not die, and he wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty, he would have to attack Warat and Tatar first, like Galdan in the Dzungar Khanate a few hundred years later, to compete for the throne of the Mongol Great Khan.
