Chapter 330: Arrangement

Yang Shaofeng was also curious.

The name Timurid Khanate is not famous at all in the history of the flower planters, but when it is really taken to the territory of the Western Regions, the Timurid Khanate will be very famous.

In the fourth year of Jianwen, the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid, nicknamed "Lightning", was ambitiously preparing to advance westward, and the troops on the Western Front had pushed the Byzantine Empire to the point of exhaustion, and the whole of Europe had opened its arms to the Ottoman Empire.

It's just that no one expected that the Ottoman Empire, known as the nightmare of Europe, would be defeated by the Timurid Khanate, let alone that even Sultan Bayezid would be captured, and Byzantium would be able to survive for decades.

It is precisely because of this that Timur Khan's enemies hate and fear Timur Khan, and because Timur Khan's leg was disabled by injuries in the twenty-second year of Yuan Zhizheng, he was nicknamed Timur the Cripple.

In the second year of Yongle, the Western Chagatai nobles who burned down the city of Damascus and almost destroyed the Ottoman Empire, gathered 200,000 horses and prepared to kill the Ming Dynasty, and then died on the road.

Interestingly, during his lifetime, Timur divided his territory among his descendants and appointed his eldest son, Pier Maheima, the son of Jahangir, as his heir.

He was then defeated by Khalil and retreated to Afghanistan where he was killed by his men.

Timur's fourth son, Shahru, marched into the river to seize the throne of Timur in the name of avenging Pir Maheima.

Is it very similar to the operation of Zhu Laosi's family?

However, the operation is similar, but the style is very different.

The emperor of the Zhu family is more iron than the other, but the descendants of Timur are not as bold and hairy as Timur Khan, and Shaharu sent envoys to pay tribute to Zhu Laosi after winning the throne.

Later, generation after generation of indisputable heirs slowly cooled down the entire Timurid Khanate, and then Timur's fifth grandson Babur simply turned his heart on the side, bulldozed Ah San and then established the Mughal Empire, bullying other countries when he had nothing to do, and occasionally attacking the Ottoman Empire.

Anyway, I just don't go east, and I don't want to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, all these messy things came later, how could the current Timurid Khanate's leader Shakharu suddenly rise up and prepare to use troops against the Ottomans?

Isn't it fragrant to pay Zhu Laosi a little protection money every year, and then go back to bully the small country over there?

Yang Shaofeng was pondering in his heart, but Zhu Zhanji suddenly said, "Could it be Mai Duo?" ”

"Mai Duo?"

Yang Shaofeng shook his head and replied: "You don't know the strength of Mai Duo, it is said that the small princes are reluctant, no matter how Shaharu is not angry, he will not be afraid of Mai Duo, right?" ”

Zhu Zhanji touched his chin and said, "That's not necessarily?" Mai Duo is indeed a little angry, but with Liu Shaochong's dead eunuch, this matter is not easy to say. ”

The more he thought about it, the more certain Zhu Zhanji became: "The second uncle is now sharpening his sword in the Western Regions Huo Huo Xiang Mai Duo, as long as Mai Duo is not stupid enough to find his own death, he will definitely choose to go west."

Shaharu may not be afraid of Mai Duo, but don't forget, Mai Duo is first, and there is also a second uncle's army on the western road, in case after the defeat of Mai Duo......

In this case, Shaharu's best option was to advance westward ahead of Maido, defeat the Ottomans first, and then seek an opportunity to continue westward.

That's right, that's how it should be. Shaharu is preparing himself for a retreat in advance. ”

Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but be persuaded by Zhu Zhanji's logical and meticulous judgment - compared to the army on the Western Route led by Zhu Gaoxu, it was obviously easier to bully those small countries in the west!

"It's just that this Shaharu is too uncompetitive, right?"

Yang Shaofeng was still a little reluctant to believe it: "Timur still has the courage to detain the envoy and lead the army to the east, why did this Shaharu become like this?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Who knows? Shaharu had already paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't know what he was worried about. ”

“……”

Yang Shaofeng really wanted to ask Zhu Zhanji, what is Shaharu worried about, is it true that you Zhu Zhanji don't have a little pressure in his heart?

The boss and the second child fought, and the scene of the third child disappearing has been staged more than once, and the very cola and the Zhengke are all typical victims, so he Shaharu is not worried?

Zhu Zhanji continued: "I don't know what happened to the second uncle in the Western Regions?" ”

Yang Shaofeng said: "Put aside the affairs of the Western Regions for now, or sum up the affairs of Claviyo first." ”

"Claviyo?"

Zhu Zhanji said indifferently: "Since he is willing to sell materials such as perfume and tea and silk, then let him sell it, and let him sell firecrackers again?" ”

Yang Shaofeng shook his head and said, "Things like tea, silk, perfume, and porcelain don't matter, but things like firecrackers and cannons must not be handed over to him for sale."

Not to mention Gargamel's side, the profits from these things alone must not be handed over to him to sell. You know, this arms trade is the most profitable business in the world, and it is also the patent of the big hooligans. ”

Without waiting for Zhu Zhanji to ask, Yang Shaofeng said to himself: "The cost of a firearm is 100 yuan, and the price is at least 10 taels of silver, which is a hundred times the profit."

The cost of a projectile is not even a penny, but this thing has to be sold for at least three or five pennies, right?

In a war, hundreds of thousands of millions of projectiles will go out, how much does it cost?

Also, now get this Claviyo to the Old Port, let him experience what it's like to dock at the Old Port for supplies, and then let him bring a message to the merchants of Europa, so that they all know that the Old Port is such a good place, and the customs duties of the Old Port can be collected in the future. ”

Hearing so many benefits, Zhu Zhanji immediately forgot the word big hooligan: "This is easy to do, let Gargamel and Jiang Xinlong arrange and arrange that Claviyo, I'm not afraid that he won't take the bait." ”

……

Jiang Xinlong felt a headache.

Gargamel, or Wang Ke, was a good guy when he wasn't drinking, but once he did, the thing was revealed.

"Listen man, the great Gargamel was the best barber in all of Europe, and the most brilliant doctor, there is no one!

When I treated ten patients, only three or four of them were called to heaven by the Lord, and I cured the rest, you know?

Damn Sir Gregord, he hated me because his son was inspired by the Lord, and he wanted to kill me! Belch! ”

Claviyo apparently drank a lot: "Sir Grigor?" That idiot! Belch! His only son was killed by you, and now not only the French, but also the British and the Portuguese idiots know about it.

Oh, by the way, Sir Gregor has already spoken out and said don't let him find you, if he finds you, he will make your death miserable! ”

Gargamel squinted his eyes, drank all the wine in the cup, stood on the stool and shouted: "The great Gargamel doctor is now called Wang Ke, a noble citizen of the Ming Empire, I am standing here now, let him come!" ”

Claviyo shook his head and said, "No, he can't come, Gregor is just a little count, their family doesn't even have a ship, how can they come to the old port?" Unless you take the initiative to find him! ”

"Then go!"

Gargamel, who had drunk too much, didn't care whether the other party was high or low: "Wait, when I get to France, I will definitely go to his house to have a look, and remember his poor son for him." ”

Jiang Xinlong couldn't help but rub his forehead, reached out and dragged Gargamel off the stool and said, "Tell the truth!" ”

Gargamel, who was drunk, grabbed the bottle and said to Claviyo, "Yes, get down to business!" By the way, have you ever drunk such a good wine? ”

"I haven't drunk it."

Claviyo resisted the urge to vomit and replied, "This wine is so powerful that compared to this wine, European wine can only be called a drink, not a wine at all!"

By the way, such a good wine, can I sell it to Europe in the future? ”

Gargamel reluctantly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "The name of this wine is God Drunk, even His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire likes to drink it, ordinary people can't drink such a good wine at all, this time it's for the sake of you from Europa that you let you taste it, as for selling it to Europe, don't think about it." ”

Jiang Xinlong couldn't help but pat the table, automatically ignoring the smirking Gargamel, and turned to Kraviyo: "Kraviyo, tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun of the Ming Empire and the Governor of the South China Sea will summon you, I hope you can seize the opportunity tomorrow." ”

"Hiccup!"

With a heavy hiccup, Claviyo asked, "Dear Mr. Translator, I wonder what they are looking for me?" ”

Jiang Xinlong said: "Two things. First, discuss the matter of your agent for perfume, porcelain, and tea silk.

The second is to give you an extra chance to make a fortune. ”

As soon as he heard the opportunity to make a fortune, Claviyo's wine suddenly sobered up: "A chance to make a fortune? ”

Jiang Xinlong said: "That's right, it's an opportunity to make a fortune." ”

Pointing in the direction of the port, Jiang Xinlong said: "Mr. Governor hopes that after you return to Europe, you can tell the merchants of Europe that when you go to Daming, you will first anchor here in the old port for supplies."

In return, every ship you introduced to you will have a share of the cost of each ship that docks here for supplies, is this an opportunity to make a fortune? ”

Claviyo blinked, and suddenly said, "Yes, this is indeed an opportunity to make a fortune.

By the way, you should ask the port to put the price of docking supplies higher, and when they come to replenish my name, give them cheaper, so that they will mention my name and not be afraid of confusion. ”

Jiang Xinlong nodded with a smile and replied, "Tomorrow morning, I hope you are not as drunk as you are now." ”
