The hapless Genoese merchants, under the threat of artillery, trembled and landed on the shore, and then honestly offered Zhu Di their money to buy the road.

As for their identity......

Miscellaneous beards.

I don't know the source of the miscellaneous beard.

Thinking of the Ming trade, the first must have the legal identity of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the Ming people or the subject people who are subject to the Ming Dynasty, they must first have roots, but they don't, they say they are Genoese, but for the Ming Dynasty, what the hell is Genoa? Therefore, it can only be Zahu, and if they also want to trade in the Ming Dynasty, they must pay heavy taxes to the Ming Dynasty, whether they are on the Ottoman coast or on the coast of the Golden Horde, including the Georgian coast, it is to trade with the Ming Dynasty.

These are now the scope of the Ming Dynasty's territory.

Of course, the Genoese people couldn't figure this out, they didn't even understand what the Ming was.

They have indeed heard of Zhu Di's existence, but because of the translation of various languages and the distortion of various news, it has long had nothing to do with the facts.

In fact, even in West Asia, the Mediterranean, and Eastern Europe, what many people know about Zhu Di has nothing to do with the facts.

It is said that he was the Great Khan of Mongolia, just like he did in the past.

It is said that he is from the legendary Khitan Kingdom.

Even if I know that it is the Ming Dynasty, because of the translation of various languages, it has become a variety of different pronunciations.

There is even a legend that he was the king of India, John the Elder.

In these legends, he is surrounded by cyclops, fire-breathing monsters, and even flying monsters......

Now these myths are being spread along the Black Sea and Mediterranean coasts, and legend has it that he went west to conquer the three Indias, which in the West have three layers of India, the first of which is the Ganges, the second of which is Ethiopia, and the third of which is further east. In fact, at this time, the Holy See had even regarded Ethiopia as the state of John the Elder, and the two sides had diplomatic exchanges, and the Europeans even believed that the Ethiopians were defeated by the Mongols in Asia before migrating to East Africa.

Until the 15th century, Ethiopians were welcomed in Europe.

In fact, at first, they also regarded Temujin as John, and they beat their chests because of Temujin's empathy in faith.

As if he really believed.

Of course, most of the people did not think so, and they were still tirelessly searching for what they thought was the real Elder Kingdom of John, and even the Emperor of the HRE even advertised that he had dug up the bones of King John's Three Wise Men of the East......

So it makes sense for modern Germany to dig up a bronze sword that looks like last week from thousands of years ago.

Ancestral craftsmanship.

Of course, Zhu Di didn't know that he had been rumored to be an Indian king with countless cyclops and an army of Warcraft.

After intimidating the Genoese, he went to Üsküdar and then looked across to Constantinople on the eastern shore of the strait......

"King, it's not difficult to break through, as long as there are a few battleships here, and then load them with heavy artillery, and continue to bombard their city walls, it is enough to blast the city walls open, if you attack from the land, then the best way is to blast, but I don't know what the underground soil is there, but as long as you can dig tunnels, it is nothing more than how much gunpowder is piled up, thousands of catties of gunpowder are stuffed into it and detonated, and their city wall is a solid green brick like our capital can also be exploded."

Zhu Neng said.

"You can also set fire to them, build more hot air balloons, and then occupy the west of the city, and keep releasing hot air balloons with Molotov cocktails here, and keep smashing them from the sky to their houses, and then the hot air balloons will fall to the west of the city, and then put more Molotov cocktails from there and wait for the wind direction to be suitable and then put them back, and burn all the people in the city who can burn it, I don't believe that the people inside can really bear it and not surrender."

Qiu Fu said very brainily.

"There's no need to be so troublesome, as long as you can occupy the surrounding land, and then control the sea, and then besiege it.

If you don't surrender for one month, you will be trapped for one year, and if you don't surrender for one year, you will be trapped for two years.

There is no need to storm at all, such a lonely city is nothing more than counting on some foreign aid, if their foreign aid is really relying on the sea, then as long as their sea aid is blocked, they don't have to fight for three years when they are hungry, they go directly to the city and bleed one by one. ”

Kun Timur said.

……

In the midst of a bunch of subordinates' suggestions, Zhu Di just continued to look at the huge city in the distance.

However, this city is put in Huaxia, and it is indeed a top city, and it is the capital that can suppress it, but the defense of the capital does not have such good geographical conditions as it, after all, the defense of the capital has to defend against attacks in at least three directions, and it is enough to defend only one direction here, and the double city walls are so close that the attackers still scold the eight ancestors of the builders. But just like these subordinates said, in the current situation of the city, there are many ways to kill them, and if he wants to solve it quickly, he can make thousands of catties of gunpowder, dig tunnels and blast them, as long as there is enough gunpowder, the two walls will explode together. Then hundreds of thousands of troops such as Ottomans, Mongols, Turks, etc., who had been assembled outside, swarmed in, even if there were 100,000 troops in the city, it would be the result of killing them all in the end, not to mention that according to the Armenians, it would be very difficult to gather 10,000 soldiers in the city now.

But......

Such a city is better taken by the Ming army.

An imperial capital that has lasted for a thousand years must have countless wealth in it, and such a city cannot afford to be cheap to these chaotic forces.

And he can't care about attacking Constantinople now, he still has to deal with Timur.

"Send someone over and tell the emperor in the city, there are no two days in the sky, there are no two lords in the earth, only the Ming Emperor can be called the emperor in the whole world, if he honestly goes to the title of emperor and pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty, then he will not lose a vassal king, otherwise it will be arrogance, and the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow will be all powder."

He said.

"Your Highness, it's just that none of them understand the Ming language, and the word emperor is not easy to translate."

Issa said cautiously.

It's a word that's really hard to translate.

After all, now there are subjects of all ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty, the word emperor is called differently in various systems, and the Mongolian system has been designated as the Heavenly Khan, which has a basis to follow, after all, the grassland used to call Li Shimin like this.

Moreover, it has been officially determined in the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Emperor is the Heavenly Khan.

In fact, it is difficult to say whether the Turks in the Western Regions are Turkic or not, but since they think they are Turkic, let them be treated, but when it comes to the Persians and Kurds, these are not easy to translate.

To the Eastern Rome it was even more difficult to translate.

"What does that guy in the city mean by his highest status?"

Zhu Di asked.

"Your Highness, their names are very confusing, and they are also in all languages, our Lord, Lord and God, King of kings, Supreme Ruler, etc., in the Eastern Roman faith, they are the supreme ruler of the world, the spokesman of the gods in the mortal world, the king of kings, the ruler of the world, the eternal ruler, in this sense the eternal ruler of kings, in the worldly sense he is the supreme ruler, in short, in the mortal world he is supreme."

The Armenian interpreter hurriedly said.

"The ruler of the world, the eternal ruler, the king of kings, the supreme ruler, these cannot be used, only the Ming Emperor has this qualification.

You just go and translate the Ming Emperor into these. ”

Zhu Di looked at the city in the distance in shock.

So the city lord of this lonely city in front of him can also boast about himself!

The Armenian interpreter hurried, escorted by the Ottomans, boarded a small boat and sailed to the opposite shore.

"Shoot a few shells into their city, it's a warning to them."

Zhu Di said.

Immediately after that, the field guns lined up beside him raised the muzzle as high as possible, and with the flamespray of the muzzle, one after another two-pound shells flew across the Bosphorus and into the walls of Constantinople......

And at this time, Timur was trembling towards his throne.

Although it is rumored that he was injured by Zhu Gaoxu's cannonball on the way to retreat, this is actually a rumor, and he will not let Zhu Gaochu hit his Chinese army with a cannonball, he is purely old, and then suffered so many defeats in a row, especially the continuous crusade and west, which directly exhausted his body. After all, he is also a person in his sixties, how can he withstand the wheel battle of Zhu Di's father and son, from the moment he waited for an ambush in Batu Sarai, but was forced to go north to fight Zhu Gaoxu, he basically did not stop.

Zhu Gaochu did not finish fighting Zhu Di to the south, he hurriedly went south and failed to fight Zhu Di, and had to go north to fight Zhu Gaochu again.

Even a strong man can't bear it!

In fact, many of his soldiers had already died of exhaustion and disease during his retreat.

Zhu Di's father and son, one south and one north, dragged these tiger and wolf warriors across the Western Regions to death.

"Sha, hasn't Shaharu come yet?"

He leaned weakly on the cushion, looked at the subordinates in front of him, and said weakly.

His men are almost recuperating now, and Decai, Deyrchak, the latter is still following him, and the key is that there is no one else to follow, and his grandson, Pyrma Hema, is all watching him.

"Sultan, he hasn't come back yet."

Pierma said.

He was Timur's designated heir.

"Forget it, he's going to Herat, it seems that he can't catch up, and now Zhu Di is still blocked in Tabriz, just taking advantage of this opportunity to go east, how many soldiers and horses do we have now?"

Timur said slowly.

Then he, who was originally weak, seemed to be injected with something all of a sudden, and actually sat up straight again.

"Sultan, there are already 200,000 troops."

Before Pyrma could speak, Di should have spoken first.

The others all looked at him in bewilderment, but fortunately Timur did not notice anything unusual, and this number made him feel a little more excited.

"Okay, okay, I'll just say that we are still strong soldiers, we have soldiers, as long as I give an order, we can gather an army of 500,000 to sweep the Ming army in one fell swoop, pass the order, each army will bring enough cattle and sheep, bring those cannons, bring those war elephants, let's set off tomorrow, kill to Yili. Zhu Di'er, I deceive people too much, I want to kill his whole family, I want to arrest all his women, play in front of him, I want him to know who is the master here.

I ......"

Timur coughed violently.

Everyone looked at the sultan who was puzzled by the previous kang, and hurriedly echoed it, patting their chests and saying that they would follow the sultan with 200,000 troops tomorrow.

Go and kill Zhu Di's family.

Go and snatch all Zhu Di's women and play with the Sultan.

Don't look at Sudan like this, Sudan Nu's efforts can still make a comeback.

Timur leaned there panting, showing a satisfied expression, as if he had captured Zhu Di's palace and looked at Zhu Di's woman.

However, Zhu Di's women also include his granddaughter.

But it's not a big deal for them, and neither is the granddaughter.

Of course, the poor Sultan didn't know that he didn't have 200,000 subordinates at all, and in fact, after arriving here, not only did not increase, but decreased a lot, after all, he was like this, and those emirs who were still waiting for him here would have slipped away with his subordinates. Moreover, Ha and Ugqi Hashha have also surrounded the Bekabad fortress, and the soldiers of Samarkand, Tashkent and other cities who are still loyal to him have gone to relieve the siege, so how can they have time to mess around with him.

In fact, the most important thing in the river now is defense, and in the current situation where the gang is about to disperse, there is no need for the Ming army at all.

Those miscellaneous cards in the Western Regions can bully them.

Ha Zhi and Ugqi Hashha are attacking Bekabad, Zhu Gaoxu and Gui Lichi and other troops have returned, and are waiting for supplies in Talas, once the supplies arrive, they will definitely go south.

The powerful throughout West Persia betrayed Timur and then surrendered to Zhu Di.

In this case, there are 200,000 troops, and now there are less than 30,000 soldiers in total, and the main ones are also Dicai and Deyrchak, and the other is the Praetorian Guard.

As for the real goal......

In fact, he waited for Timur to breathe, and then he could take over and avoid being robbed by other brothers.

Especially his uncle Shahru, who drove his uncle Shaharu back to Herat.

As for the two of them, they are actually waiting here, once Zhu Gaoxu goes south to attack Shymkent, they can also be contained from the periphery, although everyone waits for Timur to breathe, and then quickly admits his mistake to the Ming Emperor, but the premise is to ensure the control of Hezhong and Khorasan, so they still have to be ready to fight.

Beat.

But for the sake of begging for mercy.

Everyone just looked at Timur, who was still immersed in a dream, with complicated eyes.

Just then, a general hurriedly walked in......

"Sultan, something happened, Yang Feng led a large army to Kunduz, Shaharu surrendered to Yang Feng, and the allied army has crossed the Amu Darya River to attack Samarkand."

He said with alarm.

Timur stood up instantly......

"Lying, you're lying!"

He roared.

"Sultan, Shaharu has long surrendered to Yang Feng, and when he was still in Georgia, he sent someone to inform Yang Feng that you have cooperated with Guangzhou."

The general said.

Everyone else was stupid, and Pyrma suddenly sobered up.

"Quick, go to Samarkand!"

He shouted anxiously.

"This, this, this dog thing, I'm going to kill him!"

Timur stood there roaring.

The next moment he shook suddenly, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and at the same time he fell straight back.
