Chapter 136: Timur Is Dead?

With the order of Ping'an, everyone was disarmed, and more than 20 elite swordsmen did not dare to resist, so they could only be captured obediently, no one wanted to become a hedgehog, and no one wanted to cause a misunderstanding of the Ming army, so they could only accept their fate!

Regardless of the shouting of these people, Heian ordered that everyone be tied up and then held separately and interrogated separately. Now that Timur may be on the way to the east, such a group of people suddenly appeared under the Jiayu Pass, even if they were really the original group of envoys, they need to be careful whether they have become spies; If he makes a mistake and wrongs these people, Ping An believes that His Majesty will understand him, and as for the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, who is only a five-grade person, Ping An has not yet taken it into his eyes.

After Fu An's initial annoyance, he quickly calmed down, he was searched before he was taken to a clean room, and sat down on a chair in the middle of the room, he looked up and found that there were three people sitting opposite, from left to right, Zhang Fu, Ping An and Tie Wuchen, the director of the Intelligence Department, of course, Fu An didn't know him, he just felt that the three of them were heroic, but they were very young.

Zhang Fu glanced at Ping An, Ping An nodded, and Zhang Fu asked, "You are Fu An?" ”

"Yes, it is the old man, the old man has been an envoy to Timur since the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, and returned to the Ming Dynasty after a lot of hardships, I don't know what crime he has committed? And you dare to arrest and detain the envoys without authorization, who are you? Is it a rebellion? ”

Looking at Fu An's fierce expression, but the three of them were unmoved, Zhang Fu smiled and said, "You said that you are an envoy, but there is evidence?" ”

"This," Fu An was stunned for a moment, and said dejectedly: "There was originally one, but now there is none." ”

"What do you mean?"

"When the envoy arrived in Samarkand, he was detained, and all the things that proved his identity were confiscated, and then Timur tried to force the envoy to surrender, but the envoy refused, and then he sent people to take the envoy around his country, showing the vastness of his land and the strength of his army, but the envoy never gave in."

"About three years ago, Timur planned to go east to the Ming Dynasty, and he was parading in Samarkan with the intention of intimidating the official, but the official was still unmoved."

"At that time, the official was still free to move, although there would be people watching everywhere, but soon after the parade, Timur suddenly changed his face, sent people to search the station, and took away many things, including all the notes and manuscripts recorded by the official in the past ten years."

"After another six months or so, Timur's soldiers stormed the mission camp, took us out, burned our papers, all the notes of our representatives in front of us, and put us all to death."

"When more than thirty people were killed, Timur changed his mind and left us behind, and we later learned that it was his grandson Pier. Muhammad's persuasion saved our lives. ”

"In the days that followed, we were not allowed to go out, and our supplies were often withheld, but thanks to Peel's help, we survived."

"Two months ago, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Peel suddenly summoned us, and he told us that Timur had passed away, and he did not want to continue the crusade to the east, and wanted to maintain good relations with the Ming Dynasty, so he wanted to let us go back."

"The news of Timur's death is still kept secret, because Peel's uncles are still heavily armed, and Peel intends to summon them back on Timur's orders to deal with them."

"That's why Peel decided to send a guard of more than 30 people to send us back to the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the Eastern Chagatai Khanate from knowing about Timur's death, so we put on makeup, and when we arrived at the city of Jiayuguan, the official found the official uniform that had been preserved for a long time and put it on."

When Timur was narrating, the three people on the opposite side remained calm, but after hearing that Timur was dead, their expressions changed and they stared at Fu An tightly.

"You mean, Timur is dead?" Ping An hesitated for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"What did you see with your own eyes?"

"Nope!"

"Not mourned yet?"

"Yes!"

"Then how can you be sure he's dead?"

"This," Fu An was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "I don't know what to call the general?" ”

Seeing Fu An's question, Zhang Fu said: "This is General Ping'an, the commander of the Ming Yi Guogong and the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, this is General Tie Wuchen, the director of the Intelligence Department, and the general is Zhang Fu, the commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division. ”

"Oh, Lord Guogong, General Zhang, General Tie, the old man thinks it's true, Timur has been brave and good at fighting all his life, and he is invincible, so he is very proud, and he often considers himself a descendant of Genghis Khan, so he should not use this method of fake death."

"Well," Ping'an tapped the index finger of his right hand lightly on the table, thought for a while, and said, "Then what is the reason for Timur's sudden change of attitude towards you?" ”

"This question, Peel told me the reason, when Timur was preparing for the Eastern Crusade, he sent people to Warat, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Ming Dynasty to inquire about the news, and found that not only the Ming Dynasty had prepared in the morning, but also supported a large number of weapons and equipment of the Guanxi Qiwei and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which made Timur very annoyed, he thought that the Ming mission had leaked the news, because since the second year of Jianwen, there have been a lot more Ming merchants in Samarkand, and he suspected that we had passed the news to the Ming Dynasty."

"But the official did not do this, and the official did not have a chance, because when the Ming merchants arrived in Samarkand, they could only trade in a fixed area, and if they walked around, they would be executed immediately; And we, we're not allowed to go to those places. ”

So Timur searched our house first, but found nothing, and then put us under house arrest; Later, he suspected his subordinates and checked a few people, but nothing came of it. ”

"In addition, Timur's army tried to attack Warat and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but found that Warat did not resist, but quickly moved to camp, while the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was well-armed, with more than 10,000 ironclad cavalry, and Timur's brave general Barukha was thwarted, which made Timur very angry."

"Later, in order to eliminate the hidden danger, Timur decided to put us all to death, but was stopped by his grandson."

"Because of the increased strength of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and the fact that the Ming Dynasty had already prepared, Timur's preparation took longer than expected, and he needed more troops and supplies, so he died before he finished his preparations, but in this way, it was much easier for Peel to succeed to the throne, one was that he was Timur's designated heir, and the other was that he had far more troops in his hands than his uncles."

......

After listening to Fu An's words, Ping'an, Zhang Fu and Tie Wuchen were silent, they felt a little difficult to accept, the Ming Dynasty began to prepare for the third year of Jianwen to resist Timur's eastward invasion, for which a large number of materials were hoarded in Shaanxi, starting from Xining Hou Song Sheng, to aid the Guanxi Qiwei and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate to enhance their strength, but now everything has no goal, because Timur is dead, his heir Peel has no interest in the Eastern Crusade, the Eastern Crusade is gone, the enemy is gone, like a heavy punch on cotton, All three of them had the feeling of being shaken.

After a long time, he got up peacefully and said: "Fu, Mr. Fu, you have to be wronged during this time, although your father is willing to believe that you are true, but this general still needs to verify your identity, and also look at other people's confessions." ”

"Please rest assured, once your identity is confirmed, the Duke of China will immediately send someone to escort you to Jingshi to meet Your Majesty."

"Well," Fu An nodded: "Xiaguan understands, but is Emperor Gao already in Bintian?" Is Emperor Jianwen reigning now? ”

"Yes, this year is the seventh year of Jianwen!"

The news he heard in a foreign country was finally confirmed today, although he had been prepared in his heart, Fu An couldn't suppress his sadness, he knelt on the ground facing east: "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, the envoy returned in vain, the old man is ashamed of your old man!" Woohoo, woowoo......"

Seeing Fu An's appearance, Ping'an and the others got up and arched their hands towards the east, then turned around and walked out of the room, ordering their subordinates to take care of them without the slightest neglect.

"Commander-in-chief, do you think he is really Fu An?"

"This, I can't say for sure, but even if he is not Fu An, then he is also Fu An's side, but if he is not Fu An, then Timur must not be dead, he is playing tricks to confuse us!"

"Yes, there is too little information, and it is very difficult to send someone to the Timurid Khanate to verify." Tie Wuchen also sighed.

"Two of you work hard, get everyone's confessions before dawn tomorrow, compare and compare to see if there are any contradictions, can you do it?"

"No problem!"
