Chapter 109: The Timurid Empire

Next.

"I don't like money, really, I'm not interested in money at all, but, just because of your dog-driven prince's death, 327,800 taels of silver are gone, and I will strangle you!"

After speaking, Li Zhaotong pounced on Zhu Houzhao with his teeth and claws, and pinched Zhu Houzhao's neck desperately.

Three hundred and twenty-seven thousand eight hundred taels of silver!

Although this is a drop in the bucket for Li Zhaotong's net worth now, he is not a dog-like thing, he has no interest in the loser, he has to feel distressed for several days if he loses a penny!

Now that the 327,800 taels of silver have been confiscated by Emperor Hongzhi, Li Zhaotong is so painful that he can't breathe!

Li Zhaotong frantically pinched Zhu Houzhao's neck, and Zhu Houzhao also resisted desperately, but as for the guards of the East Palace, including Zhang Yong, who personally protected Zhu Houzhao, they were all indifferent.

Because they have long been accustomed to the behavior of these two "brain-dead" who do not know etiquette and humility.

They are fighting and fighting, and these two will definitely be embarrassed again after a while, and if anyone steps forward to dissuade them at this time, then I'm sorry, all the firepower will be concentrated on you.

This kind of "brain-dead" behavior, in Zhu Houzhao's words, is: This is the behavior of our brothers to express their friendship with each other, and it is your business!

"! Dog, you're really pinching this palace! ”

"Pinch you, lose money!"

"Nope!"

"If not, then keep pinching!"

"Don't, let go of this palace, this palace can make up for it."

"How do you make up for it?"

"Today, a businessman sneakily found the palace and wanted to buy a glass mirror from the palace."

"Hu Shang?"

Noticing this keyword, Li Zhaotong let go, straightened his clothes, then looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "Tell me, how are you going to use this Hu Shang to make up for your mistakes?" ”

"Phew! Dog thing, this palace is the prince, do you still have a little humility? Dare to threaten Hongu? ”

"It looks like this fight will continue."

Li Zhaotong rolled up his sleeves again.

"Okay, don't scare this palace, just your little catty, this palace will do it with you and crush you in minutes!"

What Zhu Houzhao said is really the truth, don't look at Li Zhao, who is more than five years older than Zhu Houzhao, when he really fights, Li Zhaotong's weak and small body is really not the opponent of Zhu Houzhao who clenched his fist muscles and bulged.

This is also a big reason why the guards of the East Palace were able to watch Zhu Houzhao being choked by Li Zhaotong, because they all understood that His Royal Highness was releasing water.

"Nahu Shang, who claimed to be from the Timurid Empire in the Persian region, approached the palace and said that he was going to buy a glass mirror to present to Abu Saeed Mirza, the emperor of their Timurid Empire."

Zhu Houzhao remembered well, and even wrote down the name of Abu Saeed Mirza in its entirety.

"Huh, Abu Saeed Mirza, tsk!"

Li Zhaotong shook his head with a snort, and then affirmed:

"This Hu Shang is a liar."

"Liar?"

Zhu Houzhao was puzzled,

"How do you know?"

"Abu Saeed Mirza has been dead for almost twenty years, and this Hu merchant is still in the name of dedicating the glass mirror to Abu Saeed Mirza, isn't he a liar?

Besides, Abu Sa'id Mirza is also the emperor of his country, and he is a businessman, how dare he call the emperor of his country by name?

Your Highness, do you say that anyone in the Ming Dynasty dares to call His Majesty by his name? Even if you are the name Zhu Houxi, few people dare to call it directly. ”

"This dog thing, this palace will definitely kill him later!"

The ancients took imperial power very seriously, and calling the emperor's name was a great rebellion, Li Zhaotong's judgment was also correct, and Zhu Houzhao also believed Li Zhaotong's statement based on this alone.

However, he was a little curious about this Timurid Empire.

"Li Er, how much do you know about the Timurid Empire? How is it better than me? ”

"The territory of the Timurid Empire during its heyday, not much smaller than my Ming Dynasty, once the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to this place, and the Timurid Empire also called me a minister of the Ming Dynasty, but later rebelled.

Since Abu Saeed Mirza conquered the Aries Dynasty established by the Turks, defeated by Uzun Hassan of the Aries Dynasty, and was captured and killed, the Timurid Empire has basically fallen apart, and it is estimated that it will take less than two years for the Timurid Empire to fall, which is the end of the desperate army. ”

For the Timurid Empire, Li Zhaotong has an understanding of this country, that is, in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the Uzbek nomadic tribe led by the Mongol Jochi descendant Shaybani Khan captured Abu Saeed Mirza's death and established the Uzbek Bukhara Khanate, and the Timurid Empire was destroyed.

Then, in 1501, the Uzbek Khanate destroyed the Timurid Dynasty in the middle of the river; In May 1507, the Timurid dynasty of Khorasan was destroyed. The Transoxiana region formed a feudal dynasty founded by the Uzbeks.

At this point, the Timurid Empire completely disappeared.

However, the Timurid family did not disappear completely, and Timur's fifth grandson, Babur, used Kabul as a base to try to restore, and after the defeat, he entered India and established the Mughal Empire in 1526, which in a sense continued the Timurid Empire.

But this is no longer the story of the Timurid Empire, but the story of the Mughal Empire.

……

In a few words, Li Zhaotong said that the Timurid Empire, which Zhu Houzhao was suddenly interested in, was about to be destroyed, which made Zhu Houzhao feel a trace of empathy in addition to the loneliness of some masters.

At the bottom of his heart, he was touched, and he was thinking, will the reckless military force really lead to destruction?

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao fell silent all of a sudden, but he didn't feel so angry with the Hu Shang who deceived him.

"Okay, Your Highness, although my father is the head of the civil officials, I am not a civil official, so although I am against the use of military force, I am not against the strength of the army. A strong military is the foundation for ensuring national stability and economic prosperity.

I support the support of the army, but I do not support the desperate support of the army and the waging of war, which is what I call the reckless use of force. ”

The meaning of reckless militarism is to use all the forces of force to wage war at will.

This word, in the Ming Dynasty, has not yet appeared, because this word comes from "Ming History: Fan Ji Biography": do not use the military to be fast, and do not use the court to sweep the acupoints.

As for which dynasty the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was built, there is no need to explain more!

Therefore, Li Zhaotong specially explained the meaning of the word "reckless and reckless" when he said it.

This is also his purpose, he knows that Zhu Houzhao likes force, for this, he has no objection, the strength of the Ming army, it is indeed strengthened, but he opposes blindly strengthening the army.

The thing he is most afraid of is that his economic strength has not risen, the country is starving, and Zhu Houzhao has to expand the army and wage war against foreign countries, which is very terrible.

He hoped that Zhu Houzhao, while fondly using force, would be able to devote part of his mind to developing the people's livelihood and the economy, so that there would be a virtuous circle of development.

"Don't talk about this Timurid Empire, this palace will take you to meet the Hu Shang who deceived the palace, this palace wants to see, how else does this Hu Shang want to deceive the palace."
