Zhu Di's secret letter was quickly completed, and then handed over to Yang Forty-two.

They were theoretically Gu Lina's house slaves in the Ming Dynasty, and Gu Lina considered herself to be Yang Feng's female slaves......

Although she is the chief of the Ming Dynasty naturalization lawsuit, the seventh prefect.

So when these people are given the names used in Daming, they are all surnamed Yang, anyway, they themselves are willing to use this pronunciation, but the name is too difficult to come up, so it is better to use numbers, and there are only a few hundred people at present, at most it is Yang Jiujiu6.

As for what they should call outside of the Ming Dynasty, it is their own business, and when they reach the Naturalization City to the east, they will be able to add the number to Yang.

The name may seem funny, but in fact it represents absolute security in the Western Regions.

Especially their ID cards, all the places to the east of the Naturalization City are honored guests, and when they look at the red text in front of the sun, even if they don't know its contents, they have to treat them with VIP courtesy.

This is Yang Feng's person.

As for whether Yang Forty-two can reach Guihua City safely, there is no need for Zhu Di to worry about this, he quickly completed the supply in Baku.

Of course, it was forcibly requisitioned.

Grain, livestock, and in fact a lot of salted fish.

In short, his total of more than 100,000 people quickly swept away the supplies in Baku, and the powerful in the city groveled to let him sweep away.

Resistance is impossible.

All the men in Baku City combined, there are not as many soldiers as Zhu Di brought.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di, who could be said to have been resurrected with full blood, got the news that Timur's strikers had arrived at the Tirek River.

The latter because of the Ha only. Talha's logistical supplies were looted and even set on fire, so at this time, unlike Zhu Di, who had sufficient supplies, had to slow down and let the horses and camels that lacked fodder graze on their own. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Di quickly perfected the defense of the Erban, what he wanted was to ignite the fire against Timur, so the best way was to block Timur in the north for a while, and when he passed by the Erban, he realized that this place was too good. The situation of Daerban is almost a copy of Shanhaiguan, with the lofty mountains of the Caucasus Mountains on one side, the vast sea of the Caspian Sea on the other, and a passage five or six miles wide in the middle, and then a city wall blocked, and a small city in the middle to collect tolls.

As long as there was a strong enough army, even if it was only a few thousand, it would be enough to block this passage and then block Timur to the north.

He hasn't detoured yet.

Because there are only two roads left that are not the main ones.

The middle one, through Tbilisi, had to pass through the mountains and even snow-capped mountains of the Caucasus, and before that he had to pass through a series of famous names.

Grozny, Beslan, South Ossetia......

Of course, it's certainly not that name now, but Ossetia does, and there are a bunch of hill-people-city-states there.

But these mountain people are now predominantly Christian, Circassians.

These mountain people were famous for fighting guerrillas with the Mongols, and it was impossible for them and the Georgians behind them to let Timur pass at such a time.

As for the other, of course, go to the other side of the Caucasus.

Ear work.

"Put!"

Looking at the almost endless enemies in the distance, Qiu Fu roared somewhat excitedly.

At his feet, on the re-built wall of Tarban, soldiers stood behind the women's wall, guarding their rapid-fire cannons, muzzles sticking out of the holes, and with his roar they spewed flames, and the dense burst of shotguns instantly caused the attacking enemy to fall in pieces. But the enemy did not retreat, and continued to carry ladders to storm the walls in front of them, driven by the cavalry behind, and behind them was a rapid-fire cannon that fired the same fire, and the shells whistled across the wall. And in the mountains and forests on the left side of the city wall, the enemy troops who are trying to break through from the flanks are fighting fiercely with the Zhaosheng army in Huining, but the mountains and forests belong to the latter, these guys who have lived in the eastern forests for generations, fight among the trees and the elites of Timur's river.

The latter had no choice but to desperately open this pass.

The Gate of Many.

The only gateway connecting West Asia and Eastern Europe.

But now it is the Ming army that occupies the city wall, and they are even more calm than the field camel city, after all, in the field battle they are in front of the camel, but here is a strong city wall.

Rapid-fire cannons and arquebuses that shoot flames with ease.

And even if the enemy troops outside rushed under the city wall, it was useless, because what was waiting for them were Molotov cocktails, which were an artifact in the defense of the city wall.

Zhu Di didn't even want to use it when he defended Belgosare before......

Of course, the main thing is that it is not necessary to use it.

But now is the most important time, one by one Molotov cocktails fell from the city wall, exploded in the attacking enemy army, the flames instantly engulfed the enemy, and then they screamed and ran for help, but they used the flames on their bodies to ignite more people, in the face of these burning people, even the most brave soldiers only wanted to escape. But the cavalry behind was still driving these Kipchak soldiers, forcing them to crash into the Ming army's shotguns, throwing themselves into the burning fire, and those who dared to flee were directly hacked to death.

Timur has no supplies!

Although he had already begun to collect grain from the Kipchak steppe, the Crimea, and even the Russians, a grain levy required force, and in fact the Russians would certainly not pay it.

The second one has to be able to be shipped!

Timur even sent people to cross the sea to the east, asking the river to transport grain to this side.

But far water does not quench his thirst, and he has to slaughter some old and sick camels and horses now, and I have to say that Zhu Di made him very embarrassed.

The dead bodies of the cannon fodder who were driven to siege the city continued to pile up under the city walls, and then these dead bodies were ignited and turned into a raging wall of fire, and even the heat could be felt on the city walls, because of the burning of these dead bodies, the cannon fodder did not dare to approach at all, but the cavalry behind did not let them retreat, they could only face the stormy bullets and shotguns in the panic chaos, and then more dead bodies piled up outside the city......

"Ahmet, this is the warrior of the Ming Dynasty, and I can tell you that this time they marched west with only 5,000 men, 5,000 men from Chengkitula to Kazan, and then defeated the 100,000 army of Shadibe, and then broke through Belgosalai and held it for half a year before calmly withdrawing."

Tokhtamysh said as he looked at the scene with a smile on his face.

And next to him, a man who was also obviously of mixed Mongol and Turkic descent was watching the hellish scene outside with shock.

"But they don't believe in our gods."

The guy said.

"So what does it matter? They were followed by the moon, the others, the Kipchaks, the warriors of our White Horde.

And they can give you everything you want.

They can allow you to reclaim your territory, make you Khan again, and your merchants can trade with Daming at any time in the future.

Timur believed in the gods, but who is worthy of our cooperation when he slaughtered your city, drove you out of Baghdad, and plundered your wealth?

Ahmed, Timur can't pass the ear class, his food was burned by Kun Timur, he is crazy now because there is nothing to eat, he must desperately open the ear class, and then go to Shirfan, to Taoli Temple, Georgia to scavenge food, and even need to slaughter a part of the population to get food, Da Ming is protecting all the people behind the ear class, no matter who they are, they are under their protection. ”

Tokhtamysh said.

This is Jarayil Khan Ahmed, his territory was originally Baghdad and Taoli Monastery, but later Taoli Monastery was robbed by the black sheep Turkmen, who was originally his vassal, and he was left with Baghdad, and he was the remnant of the Ilkhanate. Timur destroyed the Ilkhanate, but before him, the Ilkhanate had long been divided, and the Zarail Khan only called himself the Ilkhan, in fact, no one else recognized them, and before Timur broke Baghdad and slaughtered the city, Ahmet fled to the Ottomans.

However, after Timur went north, he felt that there was an opportunity, so he sneaked back to Taoli Temple, trying to win over the local heroes to do things.

Actually, Bayezet asked him to come.

Originally, he also participated in the decisive battle between Bayezid and Timur.

Ahmed looked confused......

"And what about after that?"

He said.

"What's next? The border of the Ming Dynasty is in Khujand, and there are rivers from here, Khorasan, Persia, they will not have any thoughts about this place in another hundred years, and now the descendants of Ogedei, the descendants of Chagatai, the descendants of Tuolei, and even the descendants of Jochi are all subject to the Ming Emperor. Kun Timur is the descendant of Ali Buge, Guilichi from the north and south is the descendant of Wokotai, the descendant of Kublai Khan is in the capital of Daming, and even the descendants of the hero Mu Huali of your Zarayier Department are all in Daming as the Marquis of Shenyang.

You submit to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will make you a king, just like me, you are still the Great Khan in your territory, and the Ming Emperor does not want you to pay taxes, and every three years send some people to the court to pay tribute to the Ming Emperor one hundred and ten horses.

That's it.

In the future, your caravan will go to any city in Daming. ”

Tokhtamysh said.

Ahmed smiled......

"Great Khan, please take me to meet the King of Khan, I am willing to go to Taoli Temple, so that all the people of Zalayyier will submit to the Ming Emperor."

He said.

And right now.

On the city wall a mile away from them, the Armenian merchant Yang Fifty-six was looking at the burning corpses outside with a dozen merchants.

"This is the invincible warrior of the Ming Dynasty, I can swear to God, the Ming Dynasty is a hundred times more powerful than Timur, there are only a few thousand Ming soldiers here, and there are millions of such soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and this prince alone has 30,000 such soldiers in his own guards, and he is just a prince who has been divided into the frontier. He had asked Asavi to send a letter to the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, who was the uncle of the Empress, who was still very young, and whose sister was in charge, and whose brother-in-law was my employer.

It was a man who was said to possess divine powers.

He can lift an elephant, and these weapons are all made by him, and he even has weapons ten times more powerful than these. ”

He said very seriously.

The merchants looked shocked one by one.

"And it is said that he was still a believer, and I knew several of his students in Khujand, and these people even knew about the Vatican and Constantinople, and one of them even wrote Latin, and I suspect that he was the real Priest King John."

Yang Fifty-six threw out a bombshell news again.

Anyway, his task is to fool Armenia and Georgia into rebelling against Timur, and it doesn't matter if it's true or not, just talk nonsense.

At this time, Georgia belonged to Timur's vassals, and still had its own monarch, but it was necessary to pay huge taxes, and Tbilisi was directly controlled by Timur, the city was slaughtered by Timur more than ten years ago, and then Georgia surrendered and returned to them, but last year it came and occupied it directly, Georgian King Giorgi VII fled, of course, now Tbilisi is called Tiflis, as for the Armenians, it can almost be said that they are completely ruled, only a few hide in the mountains, These two families, together with the Circassian and other mountain people in the northern Caucasus Mountains, are considered to be of faith in Yawei.

But what a miserable life they had!

Caught in the gap between the north and the south full of enemies, whether it is the Kipchaks, the Ottomans, Timur, or even the Zarayir, the black sheep Turkmen, these messes, all want to bully them, it can be said that no matter which side gains power, they are all trampled on, completely relying on that tenacity, gritting their teeth again and again. These two of them are really still very admirable, after all, since the beginning of the Arab Empire, they have been brushed up by these forces again and again, but if the bones are soft, there is nothing wrong with them kneeling and singing conquest, after all, they don't want to be exterminated, so they have to kneel down and sing conquest.

But they just won't change their faith, and that's pretty tough.

They have persisted not for decades or even 100 years, they have been persevering in this corner for 700 years.

In the same way, their desire for this imaginary savior is the strongest.

"What you said is true?"

A Georgian businessman said in a trembling voice.

"Doesn't it really matter? Look at these mighty soldiers, they are invincible, they have behind them an incomparably powerful empire, an empire that does not bully us, even those of his students in Khujand, treat me like friends, do not want us to crawl under our feet to lick his boots, take our money bags, and even kill our people, like those evil emirs. They are polite to me, they treat me, and they will not rob me of my money, do you want such an empire to rule us or do you want Timur, a tyrannical demon, to rule us?

How many of our relatives did they kill? ”

Yang Fifty-six said.

The merchants were silent.

Indeed, every time Timur came, he killed rivers of blood, robbed them of everything and destroyed their cities.

In the past, there was no choice but to endure his brutality.

But now it's different, he has been blocked by the Ming army north of Daerban, everyone is a businessman who often walks this area, and he knows the consequences of going on like this.

There are not many cities in the north, and there is not much food to collect, and the mountain people also hate him, and the Russians are even more desperate that the Golden Horde is about to be destroyed, and Timur can be said to be full of enemies in the back, and there is no food, and he can't go south back to the place where there is food if he is blocked in the ear class, as long as everyone works together to help the Ming Dynasty, he can be killed on the Kipchak steppe.

From now on, everyone can get rid of this demon.
