Chapter 385: The Fall of the Timurid Empire!
"Ahem..."
The sound of heavy coughing was not noticeable in the lively banquet.
Today, the Ming army achieved a perfect victory, and the old man also fulfilled his promise and held a celebration banquet in the evening.
The whole barracks was filled with laughter, and the soldiers who had been away for many years also drank fine wine for the first time, although the portion was not much, but it did not affect their joyful atmosphere at all.
"Dad, you're alright!"
Others couldn't hear the coughing sound, but Zhu Gaoxu, who was lying on his side, could hear it clearly.
Since he couldn't move anywhere else except his eyes, he could only ask in a voice.
The old man, who had returned to normal, was sitting at the head and watching the generals below laughing and drinking, and reached out to pat Zhu Gaoxu, who was half lying next to him.
"It's okay, just drink some cool air in the morning and take some medicine prepared for me by the little cub later."
Zhu Gaoxu was not only not relieved when he heard this, but his worries became even heavier.
Since he couldn't move, he followed the old man every day, and he knew best what the old man's health was.
Since the beginning of spring this year, the old man's body has been worse day by day, colds and headaches are a common thing, if it weren't for the kind of fast medicine given by Zhu Zhangui, the old man would have been lying there a long time ago.
"Dad, let's go back, your body can't stand the toss, go back and take care of it, let the doctor take a look."
When the old man heard this, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
"No need, I know what my body is doing."
During this time, the old man already had a premonition in his heart, and he may not have much time.
This feeling is very strange, and I don't know where it comes from, but the old man understands in his heart that this feeling is very accurate.
But he didn't say it to anyone, not even his most valued grandson.
In fact, he understands that his fate has arrived.
If he guessed correctly, he should have left last year, but it was the luck of Da Ming, and his eldest grandson forcibly left him behind.
But is God so easy to deceive, and no one can keep the people He wants to take.
No one knows that the old man has been in danger several times in the past year.
For example, some time ago, when he was taking a nap, a poisonous snake crawled at his feet and opened its mouth to bite him.
At that time, if he had to wake up slowly, I am afraid that Daming would have held a state funeral now.
In addition to this, there are other phenomena, each time which is fatally dangerous.
The old man was deeply suspicious of this, and this was God who wanted to take him away.
The reason why he was so suspicious was that in addition to his grandson's strange behavior last year, the old monk also told him that he could only be in power for 22 years.
If he hadn't abdicated, according to the old monk's algorithm, it would have been last year.
With the combination of various phenomena and the deterioration of his body, the old man understands that he is about to come to an end.
He was both regretful and relieved about this.
It's a pity that he didn't lead the Ming Dynasty to rule the whole world.
And the easy thing is that he has accomplished feats that are unattainable for ancient and modern emperors.
As far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, looking at the whole world, ancient and modern, which dynasty can do it, and how many emperors can be like him Zhu Di, from a small vassal king to the lord of half the world.
To be able to do all this, he is actually satisfied in his heart.
However, people's hearts are greedy, and if possible, he still wants to live a few more years, watching the Ming Dynasty rule the whole world, and watching the people of the Ming Dynasty live a prosperous and healthy life.
However, the destiny has been decided, his heart is weak, his body has reached the limit, even if he wants to live hard for a few more years, he can't do it.
"Second brother, you don't leave anyone under your mouth, and when I leave in the future, you have to pay attention to this, don't say things that shouldn't be said and get angry."
Looking at Zhu Zhangui, who was toasted by the generals below, the old man took a sip of fruit wine and whispered to Zhu Gaoxu next to him.
"Daddy!"
The old man's tone as if explaining the aftermath made Zhu Gaoxu's heart tremble fiercely.
"Brother Ling is a good emperor, both of you were safe when he was alive, but you also know your eldest brother's body, plus he is a worrying character, so he can't last a few years after being tired."
"The third child is a slippery head, he knows what to do and what not to do, your temper is like mine, very stubborn, and the little cub is also a strange temper, so you are good for everyone for the sake of the family."
Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth, with tears in his eyes, he pouted with his father who explained one by one next to him, and he couldn't say a thousand words for a while, and finally said a good one.
"Actually, if there is no cub, I have always been very optimistic about you, and I have thought more than once in my heart that I will replace your eldest brother and let you come."
"When the little cub didn't come back, I had already quarreled with the old monk and the ministers several times over this matter."
"Even if the little cub came back later, my thoughts didn't change at first, until the little cub showed me something later, and I made up my mind and booked the boss's family."
Saying that, the old man looked at Zhu Gaoxu, "Do you hate my father in your heart?" ”
"Forget it!"
However, before Zhu Gaoxu could answer, the old man waved his hand.
"How can there be anything that I don't hate, if I were you, I hate it, those promises I made, after becoming the emperor, I forgot all about it, and I did it a little unkindly."
"Dad, it's all over!"
Father's sudden heart-wrenching words made the little resentment in Zhu Gaoxu's heart disappear without a trace.
The old man smiled, "Second brother, if there is an afterlife, you can still be my son, and I will give you everything to compensate you for this life." ”
Zhu Gaoxu laughed when he heard this, "That's okay, our two masters are decided like this, I will continue to be your son in the next life, this time I will be the boss, see who still robs me." ”
"Hahaha... You stinky boy! ”
The old man patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder dotingly, and handed the half-drunk fruit wine in his hand to the mouth of his second son.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't dislike it, and opened his mouth to drink it.
"Grandpa, second uncle, what are you talking about? Have such a good chat? ”
Zhu Zhangui, who finally got rid of a bunch of toasting generals, returned to his seat with a slightly red face.
And when I came back, I happened to hear the laughter of the old man and the second uncle.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't hide it, swallowed the fruit wine in his mouth and said with a smile: "Just now, your grandfather promised me that if I can still be his son in the next life, he will give me everything." ”
Zhu Zhangui was also happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "This relationship is good, if you really have a next life, then I will be your son to your second uncle, my father is too abrasive, I want to change to another one that can fight." ”
"Hahaha, you little cub, if your father hears this, he will beat you to death."
The old man knocked Zhu Zhangui on the head angrily and funny.
"Dad, what's wrong with this, I also think that the eldest nephew is very pleasing to the eye, if there is really a next life, I really want to have a son like this."
"Hahaha..."
Zhu Gaoxu's words made the three of them laugh again.
"Boom boom boom..."
Just as the three of them were laughing, explosions were heard in the distance.
The crowd drinking and laughing stopped and looked at the place where the explosion had come from.
The old man picked up and refilled the wine glass, and smiled at everyone: "It's on, you Aiqing and I raise your glasses, and I wish those soldiers who are besieging the city a victory." ”
The generals below stood up one after another when they heard this, raised their wine glasses with smiles on their faces and shouted in unison.
"I wish my Ming soldiers to break through the enemy city and return victorious."
"!"
The silence only stopped for a moment, and the banquet hall was lively again.
The punching of the fist and the pouring of wine did not affect the atmosphere of the banquet by the siege battle outside.
The army of the Golden Horde had been wiped out, and now the entire Timurid Empire was left with Tbilisi, the only city capable of resisting.
After cleaning the battlefield after dark, the sound of celebration on the Ming side was very loud, and the soldiers of the Timurid Empire in the city were exhausted to the extreme under the pressure of such a long war.
Now that Daming has held a celebration banquet, it means that there will be no battle tonight.
Timur soldiers, who had been exhausted for several days, were completely relieved of their vigilance.
However, Da Ming did not want them to rest, and not long after the banquet on the camp began, the two legions responsible for attacking Tbilisi launched an attack.
During the day, the other troops made a profit, and they watched it for a day, and their hands were already itchy.
Now that the others are eating meat and drinking wine in the camp, they naturally don't want to eat the cold wind here.
Therefore, the only thought in the hearts of all the officers and soldiers in the whole army is to break through the city as quickly as possible, and then go back to participate in the celebration banquet.
As soon as the battle began, more than 400 artillery pieces began to bombard.
The Shenlong rocket artillery vehicle, which was not used today, also joined the carnival.
Artillery rained down on Tbilisi, destroying buildings and harvesting lives.
Finally, with a shocking explosion, the city gate was blasted open by the demoman, and the Tbilisi defense line completely collapsed.
"Didi Da Da ......"
When the signal flare of the attack flew into the sky, a Daming Division buggler jumped out of the offensive trench, raised the brass horn in his hand, and blew a bloody charge.
"Brothers, take the city, go back to drink wine and eat meat, and kill me!"
An officer jumped out of the trench, waved his pistol forward, and rushed out with a shout.
"Drink wine and eat meat to kill the enemy, kill!"
Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers, shouting and drinking and eating meat, carrying rifles with bayonets, followed the footsteps of the officers who rushed to the front, and frantically attacked the gap in the city wall.
The reinforcements were destroyed, and the city was destroyed.
The soldiers of the Timurid Empire, whose heartstrings had already collapsed to the extreme, finally collapsed completely.
At the moment when the Ming army rushed in, the soldiers of the Timurid Empire, who were shouted to plug the gap, did not step forward to fight the Ming army to the death as the officers shouted, but did not hesitate to throw away their weapons and raised their hands to both sides of the Ming army.
After fighting with the Ming army for more than a year, they have already figured out the side of the Ming army.
As long as they raise their hands during the battle, the Ming army will spare their lives, and what will happen to them is no longer in their consideration.
In the future, even if they are assigned to work, it is better than being slaughtered like cattle and sheep.
With the surrender of a group of soldiers, more and more soldiers chose to give up, and some officers even surrendered directly with the soldiers en masse.
The fierce battle imagined by the Ming army did not come, they attacked the city lord's mansion very easily, but before they could enter the city lord's mansion and prepare to seize the current king of the Timurid Empire to receive the reward, the city lord's mansion was ignited into a sky-high fire, and at the same time, bursts of explosions sounded.
Uzhar, who woke up from a coma, learned that the walls had been breached and the soldiers had surrendered en masse, and his heart was completely filled with despair.
After several years of running, countless efforts have finally come to an end today.
He was not reconciled, he did not believe that he had lost like this.
However, in a state of distraught, he killed his women, then ordered his guards to fetch gunpowder from the treasury of the lord's mansion and pile it in the main hall, and finally poured fire oil on it and set himself on fire.
The Timurid Empire, which once dominated Central Asia, has come to an end today.
And the races of the entire Central Asian region, from today they have ushered in new masters, ushered in new rulers.
Da Ming from the East!
"Self-immolation and death!"
When the news reached the banquet hall, the crowd drinking and singing fell silent.
The old man picked up the wine glass in his hand, looked in the direction of the city, and poured the wine on the ground.
"It's also a character, no worse than his grandfather!"
The other generals didn't say a word, got up and raised their wine glasses in the direction of the city, and poured them down.
It's a tribute to the opponent, but also to the soldier who died in the battle tonight.
That's right, a soldier died tonight, and he wasn't killed by the enemy, he slipped and fell down at the gap when he was charging with his teammates, and his head was carved into the brick, and he didn't come back to death.
Without this hapless guy, tonight would have been another perfect victory.
"I'm tired, you can continue to drink and talk, I'll go back and rest first!"
The old man smiled and nodded at everyone, and walked towards the resting tent with his hands behind his back.
Zhu Zhangui wanted to chase after him, but was rejected by the little snot beside the old man.
Zhu Zhangui understood the old man's thoughts, and the end of the Timurid Empire also represented the complete end of the war that the old man was going to participate in in this life.
Because this is his agreement with Zhu Chupang, after fighting the Timurid Empire, he must go back.
The old man, who has fought all his life, does not want to leave the battlefield, but his body and the worries of his family do not allow him to continue to wave on the battlefield.
The goal of life was completed at once, and at this time, the old man was happy and a little lonely at the same time.
"Let your grandfather be quiet, and we'll go over and see him later."
Zhu Gaosui, who was holding a wine glass on the side, saw Zhu Zhangui looking at the direction of the old man's departure with concern, stepped forward and patted Zhu Zhangui on the shoulder with a smile.
Zhu Zhangui nodded, "Okay, then let's go over later." ”
"Your Highness!"
Just when Zhu Zhangui and Zhu Gaosui were about to continue drinking and singing with the generals, Hu Yu, who had not appeared all night, walked over with a package wrapped in a flag in his hand.
Looking at the package in the other party's hand, Zhu Zhangui had some expectations in his heart.
The Timurid Empire was so powerful and very famous in history, I don't know if the token of their empire can open the 3rd floor of the supermarket.
