Chapter 305: The Finale

"Hahahaha." Zhang Yulang laughed, helped Guo Zi up and said, "Get up, this is our good brother." "This is how most of the generals near Peking surrendered.

The news of King Yan's army spread to the northwest, Zhu Ao was really excited for a long time, God forbid, history has remained original at this point, and has not changed in the slightest, now even if you don't travel through the past, you will know that Zhu Yunwen will fight with Zhu Di next, then you can take this opportunity to attack Timur and greatly expand your power.

Without further ado, Zhu Ao gathered 300,000 troops, all equipped with the latest armor, the sharpest swords and guns, including 100,000 iron horsemen, and 50,000 firearms soldiers, and slaughtered Timur's lair in Samarkand.

Zhu Ao attaches great importance to Timur, so he did not bring a woman with him on this expedition, he just wanted to tell everyone that this is a big war, and everyone must fight with 120,000 spirits, and no one is allowed to take it lightly.

With the help of canned food and iron cavalry, the Su army moved very quickly, and it took only ten days to drive more than 1,200 miles to Samarkand, the capital of Timur.

Since the main force of Timur's army was still fighting in the west at this time and did not rush back, Zhu Hao can be said to have picked up a big bargain, encountered only some sporadic resistance along the way, and smoothly reached the capital of the enemy country.

Looking at Samarkand, a well-known historical city, the corners of Zhu Ao's mouth showed a hint of a smile, this can be said to be the heart of Central Asia, as long as he controls this city, the land of Asia will be trampled under his feet, and Europe can also be radiated by him.

In order to establish the hegemony of the Eurasian continent, Timur had the intention of making Samarkand the most glorious city in Central Asia, so he put the gold and silver treasures plundered from all over the place, although a considerable part of them would be burned by the war, but the remaining wealth and beauties of various ethnic groups were enough to make Zhu Hao salivate.

"Without further ado, launch a general attack!" Zhu Hao ordered loudly that he would take advantage of the favorable opportunity when Timur's main force was in the west and the defenders in the city did not react, and took Samarkand in one fell swoop.

"Knock knock!" A few sharp artillery shots came from the position of the Su army's firearms battalion, it was Li Mian's Shenji battalion that began to exert its might, this white-faced scholar-like general can be said to be ruthless when he started a battle, and he did not show mercy to the other party at all.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" When the enemy troops at the head of Samarkand saw the Ming army launching a general attack, they immediately shouted loudly, they were the most loyal guards of Timurid the Great, and during his westward expedition, they must not allow others to break through this greatest capital.

The Timurid army at the head of the city also took out their cannons to bombard the Ming army, but it backfired, first, Zhu Hao vigorously developed firearms, and the quantity and quality of firearms have been ahead of the world, and recently they have also made rear-loading guns out, which greatly increased the rate of fire of artillery, and made the combat effectiveness of the firearms battalion to a new level.

Second, Timur's western expedition took away most of the firearms troops, and there was very little left in the city, and in front of the superior Ming army, the bombed ground could not raise its head at all.

In order to seek the speed of the army, the Su army did not bring heavy siege equipment, and relied on firearms and simple ladders to control the enemy, but this was enough, the Timurid army in the city was less than 50,000, and it was impossible to stop the siege of 300,000 Su troops with superior firearms, and after only half a day, the city gate was broken. 300,000 Su troops rushed into the city of Samarkand like hungry wolves, turning this majestic city into a hell on earth, but they did not go to Timur's palace, because they knew that it was the private property of Zhu Hao, the king of Su.

Zhu Ao entered Timur's palace and enjoyed everything that originally belonged to him, I have to say that Timur is a person who can enjoy it very well, he is old, and the favors he chooses are still very beautiful, which makes Zhu Ao very satisfied.

Zhu Ao killed all of Timur's sons, cut off their heads, and asked Timur's surrendering officials to take them to Timur, and left a letter, saying: "I have conquered your capital, and I have robbed your wives, and I have killed your sons, so if you have the ability, come and take revenge." ”

Timur was so angry that he shouted, since his debut, he had been so insulted, and immediately led the main force of 350,000 to return to the army, vowing to fight to the death with Zhu Hao.

Zhu did not wait for him to die in Samarkand, and he was now confident that he would defeat Timur with his superior equipment and brave soldiers.

The armies of the two sides encountered near the Aral Sea, and Zhu Ao secretly ordered Wang Huchen to lead 30,000 elites to go around to the rear of Timur's army, and he himself led his own team to fight Timur in a decisive battle, and the two strongest forces in the East and West began to collide.

The grass and trees of this battle are sad, and the wind and clouds have changed color, and it is not an exaggeration to say how tragic it is. Zhu Ao took his own soldiers into battle in person, and under the cover of the rear firearms troops, galloped back and forth, cheering up his subordinates, and with superb archery skills, he shot and killed several enemy generals one after another.

But Timur's army was also a division of a hundred battles, and it was always winning, morale was very high, and there was a sense of revenge, so it was fought unequivocally, and Zhu Ao fought several times, but could not break through his own position.

At this time, Wang Huchen, who went around to Timur's back, began to frenzy, he knew what this battle meant to King Su, so he personally went into battle, hoping to pry the enemy's military formation with his own efforts, but the other party sent them in advance, and the resistance was very tenacious, so that Wang Huchen paid huge casualties and still could not break through, and he was anxious.

"General, our sneak attack failed, let's avoid it for the time being." "Yes, General. If that doesn't work, let's find another way. ”

A group of generals under his command began to persuade Wang Huchen to withdraw his troops, Wang Huchen also hesitated, if he withdrew his troops, he would live up to the king's expectations, and if he did not withdraw his troops, it would be indeed difficult to win the current position.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard one of his commanding envoys shouting: "Can't retreat, can't retreat!" The country is supported by high-ranking officials, but today it can't even break this array, how can you see the king?! He is right, the 30,000 people led by Wang Huchen are the most elite forces in the country, and they usually get the most military salaries, several times that of ordinary soldiers.

These 30,000 people were suddenly stimulated and their blood and qi surged, as if they were in heat, holding their weapons high and shouting: "Break the formation!" Break the formation! Break the formation! Immediately, regardless of casualties, they fought wave after wave, and finally pry the position of Timur's army.

Seeing this, Zhu Ao was overjoyed, and ordered excitedly: "The whole army has advanced and retreated, and Timur is captured alive!" Retreater, slash! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" The morale of the Su army was greatly boosted, and taking advantage of the confusion of Timur's army, under the cover of the firearms battalion, they went crazy and entered the main formation of Timur's army.

"Bang bang bang!" With rows of sharp arquebuses firing, Timur's army suffered heavy casualties, and gradually began to lose and began to evolve into a rout.

"Capture Timur alive, don't grab people's heads, put down all the heads!" Zhu Ao saw that Timur was no longer good, and immediately adjusted his strategy, at this time it was too much delay to grab people's heads, maybe he would let Timur run away.

However, the head means the merits of war, and the temptation of the merits of war to every soldier cannot be refused, although Zhu Ao repeatedly ordered, but there are still many soldiers competing for the head.

"Fuck! Didn't you hear the widow speak? Put the head down for me! Zhu Ao whipped a thousand households in the face, and a blood mark instantly oozed from the face of the thousand households, so frightened that he quickly threw down the head and rushed up reflexively.

Many years later, this Qianhu was still bragging to others, saying that he was able to behead Timur this time, and the whip he received was indispensable.

Under the pressure of the superior Ming army, Timur's army was completely disorganized, and in the end he did not run away and was beheaded by the Ming army.

In the first battle of the Aral Sea, the king of Su Zhu Ao destroyed the invincible Timur in a battle, and shocked the Asian continent.

At this time, the Golden Horde to the north of him, the Indian tribes to the southeast of him, and the Arab Empire to the southwest of him were all shocked by him and sent envoys to congratulate him.

Zhu Ao knew that his territory had expanded so much at once, and he had to digest it well, so he returned to Samarkand, while running and building his own palace, enjoying the beauties of all ethnic groups in exotic lands, and immigrating from the hinterland, enriching the strength of the Han people here.

After four years of fighting, the population of the Central Plains was killed and wounded, and they all regarded King Su as a happy land, coupled with Zhu Ao's intentional propaganda, so the Han people in the Central Plains immigrated to Su and were placed in Central Asia by Zhu Ao, the king of Su.

By the end of the Jingyan War, the population under Zhu Ao's control was close to 30 million, of which 20 million were Han Chinese, and the Han population had been rising due to Zhu's intermarriage policy.

Zhu Di won in the end, and he was called the emperor in Nanjing City, why did he say panic, because other vassal kings all asked him to ascend the throne, only King Su and King Qing and King Shu controlled by King Su ignored him. Zhu Di knew that Zhu Ao was not convinced by him in his heart, but he didn't want to start a war with Zhu Ao, he was a mature person, and he knew what the consequences of rashly starting a war with Zhu Ao would be, so it was the wisest choice to be safe and secure, and to keep their wealth and wealth.

Because the King of Shu and the King of Qing took refuge in Zhu Hao, the Ming Dynasty from the west of the Jialing River in Chongqing, including Yungui, was controlled by the King of Su, and Zhu Di's decree could only be conveyed to the east of the Jialing River, but he didn't care, and still respected Zhu Hao very much, and gave him a lot of honorific titles.

In this regard, Zhu Ao did not reply, he did not call the emperor, because he did not want to engage in splitting, and of course he would not obey Zhu Di's arrangement, and he had been his king, a king who could make the emperor afraid.

Zhu Di's life is not as hard as Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has only been the emperor for fifteen years under the dual influence of the shadow of Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Hao's yang shadow, his son Zhu Gaochi died before he could succeed to the throne, and his grandson Ming Xuanzong died after only five years as emperor.

When Zhu Qizhen, the son of Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, was the emperor, the Tatars in the north gradually grew up, and finally clashed with the Ming Dynasty of Zhu Qizhen.

At this time, the world was shaken, the Ming Dynasty was in danger, the Tatar Ministry threatened to capture the Ming Dynasty and restore the Great Yuan, the ministers were helpless, and the vassal king was weakened by Yongle Xuanzong and became powerless.

After receiving the letter, Zhu Ao smiled coldly and said, "I didn't expect that the widow had concentrated on running the west all these years, and the small tribe of Tatar would become a fine one. ”

Immediately sent 550,000 troops, with sophisticated equipment all the way to the Tatars, they killed the chickens and dogs did not stay, after that, Zhu Ao became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty under the support of the ministers, corrected the unification for ten years for Hongwu sixty-five years, changed the next year for the first year of Qianguang, and became the co-lord of the world.

And his sons, except for the prince who stayed in the capital, the rest were all over the world and tried to establish their own territory.
