Chapter 352: Do it, Your Excellency!
Jianwen sent Chen Cheng, the envoy sent by Zhu Di in the original history, but Chen Cheng's current status is much higher than in the original history......
"What Chen Shilang said can't be verified, I only know that the emperor is the emperor in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a male emperor or a female emperor, and the one who is in the capital is the emperor.
As for the brothers' struggle for the throne, these are also commonplace.
But it was the emperor who won. ”
Timur looked at Chen Cheng, who was sitting on the cushion.
The latter, as the right attendant of the Jianwen Dynasty, set sail from Canton to Basra, escorted by three warships of the naval division, and was then sent by Timur's men who remained in Baghdad.
Of course, it was not only to escort him to the envoy, but in fact, it was mainly the Guangdong merchants who wanted to open up farther trade routes.
Because the technology of schooners is becoming more and more mature, the voyage from the Ming Dynasty to the Middle East has been greatly shortened, although these schooners are not suitable for the transportation of large quantities of goods, but the current degree of profiteering in maritime trade is not comparable to that of the nineteenth century, so even if the lightly loaded schooners run this line, the profits are still considerable......
In terms of making money, you have to believe in the discipline of Guangdong businessmen, they don't care about distance.
As for the communication between Chen Cheng and Timur, this is not a problem, Jianwen sent Chen Cheng because he understands Mongolian, he has often sent envoys to the Western Regions when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, and more importantly, Jianwen can rest assured of his position, because his family is Jishui, and he has a close relationship with Fang Xiaoru.
"Great King, why is Mongolia declining, isn't it just that brothers compete for the throne and only the strong are afraid? Winning is the emperor, it does seem to make sense, but everyone wants to be the emperor, so everyone wants to win, brothers kill each other, and even father and son kill each other, and finally the country is ruined and taken away by outsiders. The Great King sits on the Western Regions, doesn't he want to pass it on to the heirs you want to pass on, but want them to win the succession throne? Then aren't you afraid that after you, your children and grandchildren will also kill each other, and finally kill the country to the ground, and be taken advantage of by outsiders?
The Ming Dynasty established a program, set the order of the eldest and youngest, and divided the descendants into common, so that the country's inheritance was orderly, and it was the law of eternity, and the country would have long-term peace and stability. ”
Chen Cheng said.
He was cunning and directed a very important issue directly at Timur......
Heir.
Timur's chosen heir was Pier. Ma Heima, but if you think about it, you know that under their system, there is no problem of choosing what works.
This is fortunate that Milan Shah was hacked by Yang Feng, otherwise this guy would definitely rebel and seize the throne after his death.
But although Milan Shah died, his sons were all strong.
There is also Shaharu, who is known for his insidiousness.
None of them are good birds.
He knew very well that the battle for the throne that occurred in the Ming Dynasty would definitely happen in his own empire after his death.
But he really can't help this kind of thing, their system determines that this is inevitable, all cities are ruled by emirs, and the interior of the cities is ruled by elders, and the subjects have no sense of statehood, they only obey their elders. The elders submit to the emirs of the cities, and the emirs submit to the sultan, so if the sultan is gone and needs to be replaced, then all the emirs can try it as long as they have enough strength.
He can't change this essence, and that's how their system is.
"Then what is the order of succession of the Emperor of Guangzhou?"
Timur said.
"Your Majesty is the eldest son, as for the first emperor is the second son, but it is not the same biological mother, the mother of the first emperor has long since died, but his mother is the daughter of King Zhongwu of Kaiping, the latter is the main hero of Taizu Dingding, the army is his old department, Liangguo Gong Lanyu is his wife and brother, so the first emperor has the support of the generals in the army. Taizu was confused by Yang Feng, who claimed to be a person six hundred years later, knowing the future of the Ming Dynasty, he coaxed Taizu to say that His Majesty's succession to the throne would cause chaos in the world, so Taizu was confused by it, and the second was to appease the generals in the army, and set up the first emperor as the heir.
But the first emperor has always been suspicious of His Majesty, and soon after succeeding to the throne, he wanted to kill him, the first emperor had no choice but to ask his uncles, but he didn't want to trust non-people, King Yan had already colluded with Yang Feng, and finally even betrayed His Majesty, framed His Majesty to kill the king, and His Majesty had to flee south.
Now King Yan has the land of the Western Regions, and Yang Feng takes a baby girl as the emperor, and he uses the hand of Princess Hanshan to control the government and chaos the world and want to usurp the Ming Dynasty.
If the king is willing to march east with a large army, His Majesty will go north with a large army, and on the day of recovering the capital, he should return to the king west of Jiayu Pass. ”
Chen Cheng said.
"But how can I know if it's true or not? I am far away from the Ming Dynasty here, all I can know is nothing more than hearsay, Chen Shilang was sent for Guangzhou, so naturally he said something that was beneficial to the Emperor of Guangzhou, even if he coaxed me, he couldn't tell the difference. But if this is the case, it is indeed absurd, how can there be a baby girl in the world as the emperor, since I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, of course I can't watch the Ming Dynasty being taken away by outsiders. ”
Timur said as if he were loyal and courageous.
"The king can send someone to the capital to verify.
In addition, I have something to say to the king, Yang Feng and his people are very hostile to your religion, and they have been squeezing out the remnants of the Ming Dynasty all these years. ”
Chen Cheng said.
"Not necessarily, I've heard that a Luster is being used by it, and there are even rumors in the Western Regions."
Timur said.
"Well, is Tie Xuan what the king said?
Can't you see with the wisdom of the king that Yang Fengming's emphasis on using Tie Xuan has actually caused not only his whole family, but even his clan and even his in-laws to suffer miserably? ”
Chen Cheng said.
Of course they understood Tie Xuan's matter, after all, there were Xie Jin who participated in the plan, but it was beneficial to the Jianwen Dynasty, so they deliberately didn't say it, it was Yang Feng's Gongtian Law plan that forced the gentry of the vast land of Jiangxi Lake into the Jianwen Dynasty, including his hometown Ji'an. However, there is no need to hide it here, just find out directly to Timur, and he immediately told Timur the truth of the whole plan, because there were too many things involved, and the latter thought for a while before sorting it out.
"But even so, it can't be said that Yang Feng is hostile to the eyes, I still have to investigate this matter."
Timur said.
Would he, who slaughtered millions or even tens of millions of his fellow brothers, really care about this little thing?
Besides, do you still need others to tell him about this little thing?
The last time Yang Feng swept the Western Regions, who did the most harm in the end?
But......
Yang Feng's death is simply a fart compared to what he killed!
Yang Feng caused the population of East Chagatai to drop sharply at most, but he caused the entire population of Central Asia, West Asia, the Middle East and even South Asia to plummet, if he hadn't slaughtered the city in Belgosale, wouldn't the Golden Horde have been scuttled through most of the country by Zhu Di's tens of thousands of people and then entrenched in the capital? Of course, it doesn't matter, the point is that what you really need to talk about hasn't been talked about yet.
Chen Cheng looked at him quietly......
"My lord, if the king is willing to accept His Majesty's order, the next official will ship thirty siege guns to Basra by sea, plus three thousand magic guns."
He said.
"Why aren't you the craftsman who forges cannons and makes the magic machine?"
Timur said with a smile.
This is the real dry goods, this is what he wants most, he is the one who values technology the most.
"If the king is willing to cut off his relationship with Yang Feng, send troops to capture Guihua City, kill Yang Feng's concubine, and spread the word to the world with Yang Xuanwen, then these craftsmen are not impossible."
Chen Cheng said.
Everyone understands people, what level of benefits do you want, then you have to show what level of sincerity, it is useless to support Jianwen with words, it is useless to accept Jianwen's canonization, after all, you can accept two families at the same time, but send troops to capture Kuzhan or Naturalization City, and kill Yang Feng's concubine, it is best to kill it outrageously, then it can prove that you will not step on two boats again, and then you will be qualified to be a cannon craftsman. In the final analysis, although Jianwen is here to win over Timur, but this co-optation is not to be the big wrong, Timur is indeed the strongest foreign aid that Jianwen can think of, but he is too far away, how much role can be played Jianwen doesn't know, Timur waved his army eastward at most, that is, to contain Yang Feng's northwest armies.
What's more, the first person Timur faced when he swung eastward was not Yang Feng.
"Squire doesn't believe me?"
Timur said.
"King, you are not the only king in the Western Regions, don't forget that there is also King Yan."
Chen Cheng said.
Even if you agree to send troops to the east, then you have to make us believe that you can pass the level of King Yan, and if you can't pass the level of King Yan, then it can be said that it will be of no use to us.
"King Yan, you still don't know where King Yan is now, do you?"
Timur sneered.
Then he looked outside......
"Let Yedi come in!"
He said.
Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly walked into the big tent.
"Chen Shilang, this is the person of the Golden Horde, you can make him the prime minister of the Golden Horde, and let him tell you where King Yan is now, and you can also use Mongolian."
He said.
The latter immediately looked at Chen Cheng,
"Your King Yan has been surrounded by our 200,000 troops in Beergosalai for almost four months because he is alone."
He said.
Of course, he embellished the situation, and the fact was that they were now surrounded by no army in Belgosale.
But then he took out a flint flint short......
"What's the word on this?"
He said.
"Yanshan Zhong Guard, this is the cavalry flint hair short gun made by Zunhua Iron Factory for the guard of King Yan, you really besieged King Yan?"
Chen Cheng looked at the inscription on it with surprise.
This is the best evidence, this thing is customized by the guards of King Yan, this short gun is in the hands of Ye Dicai, if his identity is not Timur deceitful, then at least it proves that Zhu Di's guards are at war with the Golden Horde, and there are certain losses, and even this weapon has fallen into the hands of the Golden Horde. And the biggest obstacle to Timur's eastward advance was Zhu Di, but if Zhu Di died in the Golden Horde, then Timur waved his army eastward, and no one could stop him before reaching Jiayu Pass.
At that time, Yang Feng must personally face the battle, if Yang Feng leads his troops to leave the capital, then the imperial court has every hope that the army will go north and take the capital in one fell swoop.
But......
"The king, what the contemptible people said is already very clear, if the king raises a righteous crusade against Yang Shun, then the west of Jiayuguan will be returned to the king, the Ming Dynasty has no intention of the Western Regions, the last time the king of Yan went west was just to pursue the remnants of the Yuan, it was Yang Feng who deliberately lured the king of Yan to the south to poison the Western Regions, so that the lives of all parts of the Western Regions were ruined. The Ming Dynasty had no intention of going south to the river, and the king of Yan also made his own initiative to go south to the river, corresponding to the north and south of Yang Feng, and then Taizu took the fact that it was accomplished, and then set up four towns in the Western Regions, and made tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians have to leave their hometowns and move to the Western Regions.
Now His Majesty has no intention of continuing to make the people suffer, so the west of Jiayuguan is the king's fief, and as long as the king continues to pay tribute to the ministers, His Majesty and the king should always be friendly. ”
Chen Cheng said.
Although he didn't say anything, he had already made it clear.
You have the ability to kill King Yan, and the west of Jiayuguan is yours, and if you don't have the ability to kill King Yan, that is, you have no ability.
"Chen Shilang has worked hard all the way, please go and rest first!"
Timur said.
Chen Cheng immediately got up, and then was taken to rest.
"Sultan, the opportunity must not be lost, the Ming people rely only on firearms, but firearms cannot supply ammunition in Belgosala, they all the way to Belgosalay estimate that most of the ammunition is consumed, as long as the Sultan sends another 100,000 troops and besieges them with 200,000 troops, it is enough to kill them all in Belgosala. At that time, the others who didn't dare to fight against the Sultan at all, like Ha Zhi, Ma Ma, and even Nahei Lost Zhihan, all of them would surrender to the king, as for the ghost Li Chi, Ugqi Hashiha, as long as they are willing to take them to loot, they don't care who they follow, they just want to loot, we can add up to at least 500,000 troops, and it is enough to destroy the Ming people with this force.
Then you were the new Genghis Khan. ”
He said.
Timur frowned, still hesitant......
This is indeed his dream, but the problem is that he has to face Yang Feng like this!
This demonic man pressed on top of his head like a heavy mountain, making him feel suffocated all the time, and he also had to think about Bayezid behind him, the latter was also deadly, because Bayezid was supported by the Arabs, and if he went east to war with Yang Feng, Bayezid took the opportunity to stab him in the back, and the Arabs and even the Persians, Georgians, and Armenians would all welcome the king. That is to say, unless he wins against Yang Feng, he will even have to retreat, and if he fights Bayezet, he will have a way out even if he fails, and he can only win to the east, and defeat is the collapse of the empire.
As for faith......
Did he think about this when he slaughtered Baghdad?
Did he think about this when he was slaughtering the city of Isfahan?
Since he didn't even think about it, why did the Arabs, the Persians, think about it?
"Sultan, if the Sultan is like this, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be scattered, we are willing to follow the Sultan, nothing more than to take the Sultan as a hero of the world, can conquer countries for the gods, and make everyone kneel and worship the gods, and now the Sultan does not even dare to use the enemy at his fingertips, why should we follow the Sultan in the future?"
He said.
"Don't hesitate, Sultan!"
"Sultan, we have endured the Ming people for a long time, and if we continue to grovel to them, who is willing to submit to us?"
……
Immediately after that, the generals who had been waiting outside poured in, and one by one they made their stand to Timur.
