Samarkand is located at the throat of the Silk Road, connecting the powerful empires of ancient China, India, and Persia, and has been a prosperous and wealthy city since ancient times.

Due to its geographical location, Samarkand has also become a battleground for soldiers. Both Alexander in the east and the Mongol Empire in the west have been defeated.

Although the city of Samarkand has fallen several times, it still amazes the great men who have created miracles with its prosperity and grandeur.

After Alexander captured Samarkand, he looked at the majestic walls of Samarkand, and the tall buildings not only sighed.

Everything he heard and saw along the way was true, and only Samarkand was more spectacular than he had imagined.

Hao Haida was shocked by Samarkand, not only because of his beauty, not only because of his prosperity, but because he was able to rebuild and regain his glory in just one or two decades.

When his ancestor Genghis Khan conquered the Western Regions, he captured Samarkand when he attacked Khorezm, most of the buildings in the city were destroyed in the war.

After the destruction of Khorezm, neither the Mongol army that marched west nor the Chagatai Khanate, which was later taken over, had the time and energy to rebuild the city.

It was not until Chagatai was divided into the Eastern and Western Khanates, and Timur rose to inherit most of the legacy of the Western Chagatai Khanate, that the order to rebuild Samarkand began.

However, at first, no one took it seriously, and even the Northern Yuan did not believe that Timur could rebuild the glory of the city.

After all, this city was destroyed by their ancestors, and they still have a certain degree of confidence in their own ancestors.

However, no one could have imagined that Timur would not only rebuild Samarkand, but also build Samarkand into a more brilliant and majestic place.

Hao Haida wanted to be shocked, but what he was thinking about was the true strength of the Timurid Empire.

The fact that they were able to build such a magnificent city in 20 years is enough to prove that the Timurid Empire was not weak in terms of finance, as well as its ability to organize and mobilize the people, at least it was not weaker than that of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Timurid Empire helps, even if the Ming Dynasty cannot be destroyed, it is still no problem to block the footsteps of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

After some careful consideration, Hao Haida immediately walked to the palace and presented the gifts and the letter of the Northern Yuan Dynasty that he had brought with him.

The Timurid Empire did not have a dedicated diplomatic department, as the Ming Dynasty did.

This was not an oversight on the part of Timur, but he deliberately set it up in this way, and its main purpose was to get rid of the suzerain-vassal relationship with the Ming and Ottomans.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it once conveyed the requirements of national tribute to the countries of the Western Regions. Timur was not strong enough at that time, so he did not explicitly refuse. But with the increase in the strength of the empire, Timur's psychology has long changed.

After handing over the national letter of Haohai Dayu, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he waited until it was dark and did not wait for anyone to summon him.

As a last resort, Hao Haida wanted to find a hotel to stay in temporarily, and stuffed some money for the guards guarding the door, and if anyone asked about him, he must inform him of his residence.

Hao Haida wanted to see the guards at the gate agree, so he left with no anger.

However, how many days have passed, Hao Haida still hasn't waited for someone to summon him, which makes him a little anxious.

Fortunately, this kind of thing could not help but be clever Haohaida, he inquired in the restaurant infested by celebrities in Samarkand, Timur was generally not in the national capital, but constantly patrolling the territory, and dealing with state affairs through the accompanying central Diwan.

To meet Timur, he had to go through Ali Muyad, the minister in charge of the affairs of the imperial palace, and only by bribing this person could he have the opportunity to meet Timur and hand over his credentials.

This made Hao Haida very disappointed, because he saw from here that the weakness of the Timurid Empire was far less perfect than the equally powerful Ming Empire, at least in terms of system.

After Hao Haida wanted to inquire about the doorway, he squatted in the restaurant all day long, and after spending a certain amount of money, he really met Ali Muyad, who came to feast on the emirs of the Timurid Empire.

Alimuyad was very busy, and it can be said that Timur was not in the capital, but he was the de facto ruler of the capital, not only controlling everything inside and outside the palace, but also supervising the collection of taxes, the management of money, and the important duties of the military minister of the capital.

Therefore, he is very busy every day and rarely has time to spend time in places like restaurants.

But today these emirs, who were nobles from the Chagatai Khanate, were among the most trusted people in the Timurid Empire.

Although they are still very young, as long as they have a few years of training, they will become local magistrates, military governors, or directly serve as local Diwan, overseeing local military and political power.

"You are all young and handsome people of the Empire, and there are still many things that depend on your cooperation in the future......

As soon as Alimuyad said a few introductory words, he saw a bartender frequently signal to him, he glared at the other man in displeasure, and then confessed to the emir who was present, and came to the bartender with a snort.

"You'd better give me an explanation today, or I'll execute you and your boss!"

"Your Excellency Muyad, there is an official from Dongfang Dayuan who wants to see you, and this is a letter from him."

"Oh?"

As soon as Ali Muyad heard that it was a Dayuan official, he immediately did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the letter and read it.

Strictly speaking, their Timurid Empire was founded on the basis of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and their legal system also came from Genghis Khan.

Originally, Timur did not have the qualifications to be a khan, but through marriage, he married the daughter of the son of the black son of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, so Timur also had the legitimacy to be called Khan.

The emirs he had specially hosted for today's banquet were from the Chagatai Khanate, Timur's most trusted in-laws.

Ali Muyad looked surprised on the spot when he read the letter, and secretly wondered in his heart, Da Yuan actually took the initiative to ask for an alliance with the empire to fight against Da Ming together?

That's great news!

He accompanied Timur all the year round, knowing that Timur's greatest wish in his life was to get rid of the relationship with the Ming dynasty.

But in the first two years, they sent envoys to dieli will lose, and when they listen to the reality of the Ming Dynasty, they will lose their strength and be completely shocked by the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and after returning to China, they will vigorously render the strength of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be matched, which dispelled Timur's idea of going east.

However, even so, Timur did not give up the idea of getting rid of the Ming Dynasty and restoring the glory of Genghis Khan.

It's just that he has been waiting for an opportunity, a chance for him to justifiably integrate Genghis Khan's legacy and compete with Daming for the strongest overlord on land!

Thinking of this, Alimuyad hurriedly said to the bartender.

"Hurry!"

"Bring your guests ......"

"No, no, no, I'm going to meet you personally, you can lead the way in front!"

The bartender was stupid when he heard this, he never thought that the old man who looked sloppy would be so big!

"Nobleman, please come with me......"

Hao Haida wanted to sit in the private room and drink leisurely, he trusted his own judgment, as long as Ali Muyad knew his intention, he would definitely meet him.

If he can't give himself enough respect, it's not his own loss, it's his dereliction of duty.

When the time comes, as long as he finds out about Timur's position in the center of Diwan, and runs to meet Timur in person, it will be Alimuyad's turn to be unlucky.

Just as Hao Haida was about to take a slow drink, he suddenly saw the door of the private room being opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous silk robe with various patterns embroidered with gold threads on the sides of his clothes appeared in his private room.

"Oh, I don't know if the guests are coming, I miss the welcome, disrespect and disrespect......"

Hao Haida wanted to hear the words and hurriedly got up.

"Dayuan Taiwei Hao Haida wants, he is ordered by the Khan to envoy to your country, and he also hopes that Prime Minister Mu Yad will recommend him on his behalf."

Of course, Alimuyad was not the prime minister, and their Timurid Empire did not have this position.

But some of what he did overlapped with the prime minister, and Hao Haida wanted to call him so, but he also said it in the past.

Alimuyad laughed all over his face when he heard this.

"Oh, I don't dare to be the prime minister!"

"Zai Xia is just a petty official who manages the affairs of the palace, how dare he compare with the prime minister of a big country......"

"Come on, Lord Taiwei, it just so happens that I have a banquet for the nobles of the Chagatai Khanate today, you belong to the same clan, and you should have more common languages......"

Alimuyad enthusiastically brought Hao Haida to his living room and ceremoniously introduced it to the emirs present.

A group of young nobles from Chagatai immediately showed strange expressions on their faces after learning that the person who came turned out to be the Grand Captain.

Although both the Chagatai Khanate and the Great Yuan were founded by the descendants of Genghis Khan, the relationship between the two countries was not good, or the relationship between the other khanates and the Great Yuan was not good.

Because in the eyes of other khanates, Kublai Khan, a little, is not qualified to be called Khan, and he completely relied on tricks to steal the position of Mengyuan Great Khan.

Hao Haida wanted to know the history of the two countries, and when he saw everyone's strange expressions, he immediately resolved the embarrassment with a smile on his face.

"It is inevitable that brothers will have conflicts because of the number of brothers, but this does not prevent them from paying tribute to their ancestors, inheriting the will of their ancestors, and restoring the glory of their ancestors."

"You are all descendants of Genghis Khan, with pure blood as gold, and naturally you are all people who know right from wrong and know that the overall situation is important."

"Now that the scenery of Dayuan is no longer there, Daming is eyeing the tiger, and he has the intention of destroying Dayuan in one fell swoop and cutting off Genghis Khan's exploits."

"As descendants of Genghis Khan, we should unite to defend the glory of our ancestors and intercept the enemies who dare to attack!"

"As for behind closed doors, how should we fight, but we can't be ashamed of the outside world, and we can't be ashamed of the great Genghis Khan!"

When the Chagatai nobles heard this, the strangeness on their faces was immediately replaced by anger.

Genghis Khan was not only their ancestors, but also their faith, and they would not tolerate anyone to defile them.

"The despicable Ming people are simply so hateful, they dare to cut off the exploits of Genghis Khan!"

"As long as I live for one day, I will never allow Daming to step into the place where the ancestors are buried, let alone anyone disturb the ancestors' rest!"

The emirs vented their mouths, and then looked at Hao Haida in unison.

"Dare to ask Lord Taiwei, you have come to our country this time, but what do you need my country's help with?"

"Exactly!"

"I hope to ally with your country to jointly resist the Ming ......"

"But the Ming Dynasty is so powerful that I am afraid that the khans of your country will not dare to fight, so I am so worried that I can't even sleep......"

Hao Haida wanted to use just a small radical method to excite the blood of these young nobles of Chagatai.

"Fart!"

"Uncle Timur is the bravest hero, how can he be afraid of the Ming Kingdom?"

"Don't worry, we will definitely persuade my uncle to send troops, not only to drive the Ming Kingdom back to the south, but also to reoccupy their country and graze on their land!"

Hao Haida wants this little trick to hide from the young emirs, but he can't hide from the old fox Alimuyad.

But Alimuyad did not intend to break it, and even in his heart, he was happy to facilitate this alliance, so that Timur would have more reason to intervene in the affairs of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.

Whether or not the Ming Dynasty can win the war will put aside first, and integrate the Kipchak Khanate, the Western Chagatai Khanate, and the Northern Yuan Empire through this matter, and connect them together, is the key to this matter.

Ali Muyad added a few words at the right time, quickly set the tone of the banquet, and promised to contact the central Diwan in the shortest possible time, and promised to let Timur give priority to receiving Haohai Da Xu.

Hao Haida wanted to express his sincere gratitude, and at the end of the banquet, he also ordered someone to send some gadgets from Beiyuan.

For example, some wooden bowls, wooden spoons, and specially ordered people to transcribe the great zasa.

The Great Zasa was issued by Genghis Khan after he became Khan, and it is a legal text that all the descendants of the Golden Family observed when they founded the Khanate.

When the emirs saw the Great Zaza, they were all in awe, and they got up and bowed to the Great Zaza three times before accepting this heavy gift.

"Please rest assured, Lord Taiwei, we will definitely do our best to promote this matter, and we will never let Mingren cross Yin Mountain alone and one horse!"

"Then please......"

After the banquet, within a few days, Haohai Da wanted to hear the news of Timur's return to the capital.

This made Hao Haida want to marvel, the post station system of the Timurid Empire was really powerful, and it was possible to contact the Central Diwan in such a short time?

Of course, Timur's attitude also surprised him, he guessed that Timur would pay attention, but he did not expect Timur to attach so much importance to it.

It's just that after a few more days, Hao Haida couldn't help but doubt his conjecture, because Timur had clearly returned to the capital, why didn't he meet him?

Hao Haida wanted to wait for another two days, but when he couldn't wait for a while, he had to prepare a gift again to visit Alimuyad.

Compared with Timur's ignorance, Alimuyad respected him very much, not only welcomed him warmly, but also held a grand banquet to entertain him, and introduced him to the seven ministers of the Timurid Empire.

The political system of the Timurid Empire is a bit special, they do not have six ministries and nine secretaries like the Ming Dynasty, and only seven ministers in charge of the military and political affairs of the empire.

However, the division of labor among these seven people has some shadows of the six departments to a certain extent, but in the distribution of specific affairs, it is still in line with the principle of military empire and pursues military priority.

During the banquet, Hao Haida wanted to ask several times, but was interrupted by Ali Muyad, until the banquet was over, Hao Haida wanted to see that only the two of them were left, and he couldn't help but be furious.

"Lord Muyad, what do you mean, give me a good word quickly!"

"Lord Taiwei's anger!"

"It's not that we don't want to talk back, it's really ......"
