The iron gate is closed.

Of course, it is the iron gate in the river.

There are many people who call this name, but in fact, Zhu Di's ear-beating class to block Timur is also called Tiemenguan.

"I'm sorry about Ling Zun!"

Ambassador Yang patted Shaharu on the shoulder.

As for Shaharu, he is now the king of Daming Kangju.

Of course, a loyal servant like him should be rewarded, and although his father rebelled, he immediately told the truth.

So when his secret letter arrived in the capital, he was already the new king of Kangju, but the holy decree could not be delivered in time because of the long distance, but now Ambassador Yang came with Jingying, and of course brought the holy decree that canonized him as the king of Kangju by the way......

Since Jianwen can crown him the king of Pingxi County, of course, the imperial court can also crown him the king of Pingxi County.

As for the rest, it remains the same, or the three capitals of the control river, the green ridge, and the Persian command of the envoys, but the original Persian commanders must have drawn out the western part of the envoys.

Of course, Shaharu doesn't care about this either.

Originally, this piece of history was also the first to lose the Timurid Empire, he grabbed the position of sultan and has been fighting with the forces of West Persia, especially the black and white sheep, but he has never been able to really regain it, his death is that his grandson led troops to gradually grow larger during the war between West Persia and these forces, and then tried to stand on his own. He led his troops to the army, but he died halfway like his father, except that he died in Rey, south of Tehran. Said. Mirza snatched the position of Sultan from his side, but could no longer stop the decline of the Timurid Empire, and was finally defeated and captured by the Aries Turkmen, the grandfather of Babur, the founding emperor of the Mughal Empire.

After his death, the Timurid empire fell apart and was gradually annexed by the southbound Yue, i.e., others.

"He is old and confused, always dreaming about the impossible, and the world still depends on the strength and weakness after all.

The Ming Dynasty was the most powerful empire in the world.

What we small countries need to do is to follow the Ming Dynasty, enjoy peace under the protection of the Ming Dynasty, and drink wine and watch singing and dancing in peace, isn't it? We have to go around for some ambition, always thinking about conquering this and conquering that, in the past, we had no choice, and if we didn't fight others, we had to be beaten by others.

Like a wild beast, the weak eat the strong, and can only keep biting.

But are such days good?

Every day, I rode my horse and kept rushing to kill, there was no food, there was no comfortable palace, and I had to be constantly injured and sick and miserable.

What is better than guarding those beauties in a comfortable palace, drinking, watching singing and dancing, going to the garden to see the beautiful scenery, reading a book.

This is the life of man.

He built a huge palace like him, full of gold and silver treasures, but he could not live for a few days a year, and finally died of exhaustion in a dilapidated house.

It's really old and confused. ”

Shaharu sighed.

Of course, he just said it on purpose.

After all, the most important thing for him now is to gain Yang Feng's trust.

But judging from his original historical performance, he does have such an ideal, in the original history Zhu Di sent to him several groups of envoys to describe him, he is a person who likes to enjoy life and does not want to fight at all unless he has to, including his relationship with the Ming Dynasty, he has always maintained a low profile, maintained a reputation as a minister, and then maintained enough respect for the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's best if you think like this, I told Ma Heima in Kashgar that the Ming Dynasty has a description of the vassals loyal to the Ming Dynasty called rest with the country, and the emperor will give iron coupons to all the knights, that is, the holy decree cast with iron, as long as the person who holds the iron coupons does not rebel, then he will rest with the country, and the Ming Dynasty will not die and his territory will not change. You have also begun to reward the iron coupons of the Western Regions vassals, and the main reason why you didn't give them before was that the empress was too young, you may not believe it, but now the empress has given you iron coupons.

All are in peace with the country.

Your children and grandchildren will enjoy glory and wealth from generation to generation under the protection of the Ming Dynasty.

Your subjects rebelled, the Ming sent troops to destroy you, you were invaded by foreign enemies, and the Ming protected you.

The Ming Dynasty has no other requirements for you, and vassal states like you don't even need to pay taxes, as long as you pay regular tribute, and the tribute is nothing more than from your subjects, and you can enjoy the wealth and nobility under the support of your subjects. ”

Yang Feng said.

Such a vassal is the best.

In the future, let the river also learn Shule, and come to Kuma to put a knife and a gun into Nanshan.

In fact, in the foreseeable future, these vassals can be retained, it is nothing more than the Indian kinghood, and their religious beliefs are not a problem.

The rulers are all the same.

Religion is only a tool for them to maintain their rule.

They themselves know very well that this is a tool, if this tool is dispensable, then their faith is also dispensable, those in India in the later period of British rule are as loyal to the British as the kings of the religion, and there are even the kings of the land who took the initiative to lead the army to fight for the British. When the British masters were leaving, these earth kings had the same attachment to the Hindu earth kings, and they broke into Mountbatten's office with pistols to rape Nehru, who was a land king like them.

The rulers are very clear about what religious beliefs are, on the one hand, there is the Ming Emperor who can protect them above the subject people and then knock out the bones of the subjects and maintain their own fine clothes and food, and on the other hand, although he is a theoretical co-religionist, he wants to get rid of the Ming Dynasty and then force him to give up various interests.

Who will he choose?

Brothers?

Bah!

Are you a pariah worthy to be a brother to me, a prince?

Relying on this system, these vassals will not only not threaten the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions, but will become the loyal dogs of the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions.

"Let's go, it's time for the king to go to your palace."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Greeted by the defenders of the Iron Gate, Ambassador Yang and their new king rode through the fortress of the Gate of the River.

And behind Ambassador Yang was the seemingly endless Ming army.

These soldiers on horses and camels, all carrying magic guns, or carrying Zhangba spears, and among them there is a field gun dragged by a door, rapid-fire guns are basically not used in the Beijing camp, although there are still some but they are all on the chariot, Yang Feng of course can not let the carriage pass through the Wakhan corridor, that place is modern, it is very difficult for the car to pass, in this era there is no road between southern Xinjiang and the river, which can allow the four-wheeled carriage of the Ming army to pass through the Beijing camp.

There is only one way to walk in a carriage.

Head north from Dihua and then along the northern slope of the Tien Shan Mountains, which will probably allow four-wheeled carriages to pass.

As for Yang Feng having to march with the Beijing camp in a four-wheeled carriage, it was purely because the Beijing camp was not a real cavalry, and he did not have the ability of Zhu Di's subordinates to run around the world on horseback.

It's much more comfortable to ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

But all the soldiers actually carried horses or camels.

From Shule, they put on horses or camels and passed through the Wakhan Corridor to Kunduz to meet Shahru, who had been sent back to Herat by his father to gather soldiers, and Shaharu had been the governor of Herat. Timur's children and grandchildren were all divided, Milan Shah was the governor of West Persia before, that is, Tabriz and other places, Shahru was Herat, and then he returned to Herat and left his father alone, and when he learned that Yang Feng had arrived in Shule, he immediately sent a letter and led troops to Kunduz to greet him.

At the same time, he also dealt with the emirs of the cities of Khorasan.

The latter all chose to betray his father, and followed him to continue to submit to the Ming Dynasty, including the emirs of Kabul and other places in the south.

Everyone has been living comfortably in the past few years.

Timur is Alzheimer's, everyone is not Alzheimer's, why go crazy with him?

And right now.

Yoshishui.

The battleship plugs the river, and the flag covers the sun.

In the sound of war drums and horns, the governor of Jiangxi Military Affairs, dressed in a red robe, and Hu Zizhao, the squire of the military department, hung his sword at his waist, and knelt down in front of the city gate with a large group of civil and military generals behind him.

In front of him, Huang Zicheng, a cabinet scholar who came from Guangzhou, was reading out the holy decree.

As for the content of the holy decree, of course, it is to count the crimes of a gang of traitors in the capital, and then order Hu Zizhao to lead the heavenly soldiers to march down, sweep away the rebels in one fell swoop, and welcome His Majesty back to the palace. After getting the information sent back by He Feng, a group of loyal ministers and righteous men in Guangzhou were not dissatisfied, after all, what they were really afraid of was Yang Feng, and now Yang Feng had conquered Timur in the west, not to mention whether Timur could kill Yang Feng, at least he could contain Yang Feng in the Western Regions for more than a year.

It's been nearly half a year just to walk.

Even if it was the last expedition to the west with Zhu Di, it would take more than a year.

And how long will it take for them to rush from Jiangxi to the capital?

Hurry up, it won't take a month.

As for the siege......

"Zhong Chang, with these 10,000-pound cannons, not to mention the blue brick walls of the capital, even the copper walls and iron walls can be blasted open."

Huang Zicheng, who finished reading the holy decree, picked up Hu Zizhao and pointed to a warship on the river and said.

This warship is not very big, but there is a super cannon tied to the deck, and the 10,000-pound cannon they cast in the artillery field in Ji'an, the cannonball alone is more than forty catties, and it is completely cast with the best quality bronze. In fact, these loyal ministers and righteous men of the Jianwen Dynasty have now been completely reduced to the equipment party, they think that they can't beat Yang Feng in the past because the equipment is not good, since this is the case, upgrade the equipment, all the best, anyway, there is no shortage of money. The bigger the cannon, the better, the more advanced the musket, the better, they have all begun to equip the water division's Lu Yong with flintlock pistols, and the half-body armor of the imperial soldiers Yishui is smelted with the best iron ore in northern Guangdong, so it looks very majestic now.

"However, the number of troops is still not enough, and now our department is only 30,000, if the army of King Dingyuan cannot arrive in time to meet the peace, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the capital."

Hua Rong, the chief soldier next to him, said.

His father was the late commander of the Guangdong capital, Hua Mao, the hereditary left guard of Guangzhou, and after Jianwen went south, of course, he became the main general of the latter.

His father was posthumously made a marquis, and then he also inherited the title.

This time, their imperial camp was not the main force, the real main force was Wang Bi's 200,000 army.

The latter is old and strong, and is currently in Hengyang, and will go straight down the river like them, and then take Changsha and enter the Yangtze River and go straight to Wuchang.

Changsha is not a big problem.

In fact, the Changsha gentry had been waiting to open the door for a long time.

But Wuchang can't, because Wang Bi and his son-in-law King Chu have returned to Wuchang, and it's hard to say whether they have a war between the two Weng and son-in-law, mainly because the fief of the King of Chu has been controlled by Wang Bi, but if Jianwen returns to the capital, he can continue to let the King of Chu stay in Wuchang, and then Wang Bi will continue to control Annan.

It's not that it can't be discussed.

The loyal ministers and righteous men of the Jianwen Dynasty know very well that the key to their rebellion is not to fight, if they really fight, they can't defeat the army controlled by the imperial court, and the latter's strength is several times that of them, so the key is to fight for all the forces that can be fought for. Because of Yang Feng's perverse behavior, the civil official system, and the gentry, they were all anti-Yang, but they didn't dare to stand up, and the hereditary generals of the Wei Institute were also uneasy, at least partially, so as long as they could show their strength and quickly control the capital, then the vast majority of places saw hope and joined the Jianwen Dynasty.

As long as the court gives them all what they want......

The old imperial examinations were restored, the gentry were exempt from taxes, the health office continued to be hereditary, and the banking industry was liberalized......

Then these people will really resist Yang Feng, and then the Ming Dynasty will work together to resist Yang Feng, and at the same time use the princess and others who control it to force Yang Feng to accept the reality.

Even if you can't kill Yang Feng, you can force him out of Daming.

Yang Feng is very strong, so strong that it makes people desperate, but if the gentry of the world work together, we will no longer accept your rule, then what else can he do?

Is it to fight the world again piece by piece?

"An Fenghou don't have to worry, the court is obedient and rebellious, the righteousness is in me, the advantage is in me, whether it is the capital or the loyal ministers and righteous people everywhere are all looking forward to it, the army enters Beijing this time, and the whole country is greeted by the pot pulp, when the army arrives in the capital, it is the day when the city is loyal and righteous to open the door to welcome each other, no matter whether the army of the king of Dingyuan can arrive in time, it will not prevent the king from driving straight in."

Huang Zicheng said with a smile.

Of course, the main thing is that they don't actually want Wang Bi to enter Beijing.

The relationship between the latter and the imperial court is basically equivalent to Huanhuan and Yuan Xiu, Wang Bi has an army of 200,000, according to the upstream trend in Guangxi, no matter what the imperial court does, it must pass him first, if Wang Bi's army enters Beijing next, then Jianwen may not dare to return to the capital, and if he really returns to the capital, he may also be a puppet. He is the only one left among the veterans, he has enough prestige in the army itself, and he has the merit of entering Beijing, and he is fully capable of being supported by the guard system, at that time, Zhu Yunwen, who was in the tens of thousands of imperial camps, what did he do against him?

So......

It must be an advanced capital of the imperial camp.

Then Zhu Yunwen returned to the capital under the protection of the imperial camp, and ordered Wang Bi to go north to prepare to meet Yang Feng as emperor.

"Gong is joking, the six armies in the capital, Yang Feng only took away two armies, there are still four armies left, there are still millions of people in the city, hundreds of thousands of soldiers can be obtained, I am only 30,000, how can I drive straight in?"

Hua Rong was stunned.

"Because the righteousness is mine!"

Huang Zicheng said with an expression of victory.
