Although the withdrawal of the troops was a bit hasty, it was his hasty decision that kept Chagatai's last military strength.

There were also a lot of war horses in the Blue Jade army, so when his generals saw Crooked Si leading the army to escape, they immediately pursued him.

"General, let's chase them quickly, if we don't chase them, we'll run away!"

Lan Yu turned around and looked at the few young generals who couldn't understand anything, and scolded angrily.

"Chasing?"

"What are you chasing!"

"Don't you open your dog's eyes and see what kind of war horses in our army are!"

"Uh-uh......"

The young generals in the Blue Jade Army were dumbfounded when they heard this, they really hadn't thought about this problem.

They hadn't thought about it, but Lan Yu definitely thought about it, and they also quarreled with Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi allocated all the excellent war horses to Chang Sheng's bastard, and all they gave them were horses that could barely walk and pull goods.

However, this can't blame Zhu Yunxi for being eccentric, after all, from the beginning, Lan Yu's positioning was to take care of the house.

He just needs to watch Chagatai and prevent them from crossing the Tianshan Mountains to help the Northern Yuan.

And things went well at first, and Chagatai not only compromised, but also transferred some of its forces back.

But who would have thought that they would suddenly send troops and catch Lan Yu off guard?

Therefore, Lan Yu could only look at the back of the crooked remnant army at this time and sigh.

However, Lan Yu did not give up here, and still led people to follow all the way along the traces left by the Crooked Thinking Army.

The horses on his side can't charge into battle, but it's still okay to use them for the road.

When he learned that Lan Yu was still following him, he didn't dare to be careless, and kept a safe distance as much as possible along the way.

It wasn't until he approached the Chagatai area that he saw the rout of Chagatai that he knew that his khanate had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and that he and the army behind him had become a lonely ghost.

"Immortal Heaven!"

"Why the hell is that!"

Thinking crookedly about the trombone, the army behind him was also in mourning, and its morale was depressed.

At this moment, a messenger sent by Lan Yu arrived, shot the letter of surrender into the army of crooked thoughts, turned around and ran.

Crooked thoughts and grief and indignation are sad and indignant, but I still open the book of persuasion and look.

"Crooked junior, Grandpa Linglan has long known that Chagatai surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and he hasn't told you before, but I'm afraid that you won't believe it."

"Now you must have gathered the remnants of the fleeing soldiers, and you know that your grandfather, father and others have fallen into the hands of my Da Ming, right?"

"If you lay down your arms and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, your Grandpa Lan can not only save the lives of your grandfather and father, but also protect you from being prosperous and rich for a lifetime!"

Crooked thought at the letter, torn to shreds on the spot, and then clamored to cut down the messenger who delivered the letter.

"Lord Hui, the messenger in the Blue Jade Army ran away after delivering the letter, and he didn't even think about waiting for us to reply......

"Humph!"

"Count them as acquaintances!"

Crooked thought dismounted to pay homage to his homeland, remembered his grandfather and others who were captured, and then rode on a war horse and ran away with his men.

They had only one destination, and that was the Timurid Empire in the West.

Along the way, he encountered a small group of Ming troops and was wiped out in a battle, ran when he encountered a large army of the Ming army, and ran together when he saw the herdsmen scattered all over the place. Fighting all the way and running all the way, soon a large team of more than 100,000 people was formed around him.

Samarkand Palace.

As more and more news reached the national capital, Timur and Haohai Dayu and others became more and more aware of the situation.

"Dayuan surrendered without a fight?"

"Rubbish!"

Timur scolded angrily, and did not treat Haohaida as an outsider.

Hao Haida wanted to hear Timur slander Dayuan like this, but he could only bow his head in shame, not daring to defend Dayuan.

This time, Dayuan was really embarrassed, and he surrendered without even fighting.

However, it is understandable to think about it from the standpoint of Da Yuan, after all, who would have thought that the Ming army could touch the vicinity of the Khan Court in the great winter and launch a fierce attack on the Khan Court!

"Report!"

"Mahamu sent someone to deliver an urgent message, he has fled to the Golden Horde with 100,000 Northern Yuan elites!"

"Report!"

"Chagatai surrenders!"

"Report!"

"General Chagatai Crooked Si, with the remnants of 100,000 people into the border, General Shoubian asked His Majesty if he would allow them to enter the customs!"

Hao Haida wanted to hear that Chagatai had also surrendered, and his face was finally less embarrassed.

After all, Chagatai is the country of Timur's in-laws, and even Chagatai can't carry it, so it is logical that the Northern Yuan, which lacks military supplies, can't carry it.

"Your Majesty, the young master of Chagatai has a good reputation and can fight well, and Weichen suggests that Your Majesty reuse it."

Unconsciously, Haohaida has automatically replaced "foreign ministers" with "micro ministers".

Timur also noticed this change, and let out an undetectable "um", which was not only like an endorsement of Haohaida's suggestion, but also an affirmation of Haohaida's desire to call himself a micro-minister.

"Order the general guarding the border, set up a camp on the spot, and receive the army led by General Crooked."

"At the same time, I ordered General Crooked Si to come to the capital quickly!"

"Yes!"

After Timur finished saying this order, he looked at Hao Haida with deep meaning.

"Haohai Dayu, what is your son's attitude?"

Hao Haida wanted to hear the words and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, Wechen has been out for too long, and I don't know exactly what happened in the country. But with Weichen's understanding of Mahamu, Mahamu should still recognize me as a father, and if I write to him to surrender, he should not refuse. ”

Timur nodded in satisfaction.

"If Mahamu can lead his troops to surrender, you will be the prime minister of the empire!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hao Haida wanted to say flattering words, but he was very disapproving.

First, he believed in his son and would not listen to him and come to Timur's side.

The second is that he doesn't want his son to come over, because then they really have no way out.

After collecting information from all sides, Timur immediately opened a conscription order throughout the country, sent troops to the eastern border of the empire, and built fortifications.

On the other hand, Crooked Si also accepted Timur's conditions, leaving his army on the border and stationing in the area demarcated by Timur.

As for him himself, he took dozens of retinues with him, and along the way he changed horses and men and galloped in the direction of Samarkand.

His heart was heavy along the way, but when he saw the tall walls of Samarkand and the bustling commerce, endless hope rose in his heart!

Although Chagatai is gone, there is still hope for Chagatai!

As long as he uses the power of Timur, he will definitely return to his homeland in the future and rebuild the Chagatai Khanate!

When Timur learned that Crooked Si had come to the capital, he also gave him a very high courtesy. Not only did he order someone to hold a grand welcome ceremony, but he also personally went out of the city to greet him, giving the down-and-out young master of Chagatai enough face.

Crooked Si was also very moved by Timur's hospitality, and immediately paid a big salute to the worship, expressing his respect and submission to Timur, and his willingness to serve the Timurid Empire.

Timur enthusiastically lifted him up and took him by the hand like a grandfather and boarded the carriage.

"Kid, you've worked hard all the way!"

When Crooked Si heard these grandfather-like words, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Uncle, please help me no matter what, I can't let the glory of Chagatai be ruined in my hands, woo woo woo woo ......"

Timur is the son-in-law of his crooked grandfather, Hei Erhuo, and the two are real relatives.

This is also the reason why he immediately thought of coming to the Timurid Empire to ask for help when he learned of the fall of Chagatai.

When Timur heard this, he comforted him with great regret.

"Don't worry, kid, as long as your uncle is alive for a day, you will never be a child without a home!"

"Uncle will allow you to rebuild Chagatai and become the Great Khan yourself!"

When he heard this, he immediately bowed down and solemnly saluted Timur.

"If my uncle allows my nephew to rebuild Chagatai, my nephew will swear to serve my uncle and the empire!"

Timur pulled it up again, and then carefully asked him about the situation on the battlefield.

"You have fought with the Ming army, can you tell your uncle about the weapon configuration of the Ming army and the combat style?"

Crooked Siyan hesitated slightly, and said after considering the words.

"The weapons of the Ming army are mainly firearms!"

"I know this, what three-eyed guns, one-eyed guns, my uncle's army is also equipped."

Hearing this, Crooked Si hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Uncle, it's a different ......"

"The Ming army has improved its firearms very much in recent years, not only solving the shortcomings of the three-eyed gun such as slow reloading, short firing range, and poor accuracy, but also improving the firearms to be more lightweight, which can be held by a single person with one hand."

"And the number of equipment of the Ming army is very large!"

"My nephew once risked his life to break through the formation of the Ming army, paid the price of more than 10,000 people, and snatched a few from the Ming army, and asked my uncle to appreciate it!"

"Oh?"

When Timur heard this, he was immediately interested.

"Hurry up and show it to my uncle!"

Crooked Si immediately stuck his head out of the car window and glanced at the lieutenant, who immediately handed over a delicate wooden box.

Crooked Si took the wooden box, then opened it in front of Timur, took out the two firecrackers that were neatly stacked inside, and respectfully handed them to Timur.

Timur took the torch and looked at it carefully, and involuntarily let out a burst of exclamations.

"This thing is indeed very light, and the workmanship is exquisite, the inner and outer walls are smooth and flat......"

Crooked thoughts echoed the words.

"Uncle got to the point, this thing is indeed very exquisitely made. What's even rarer, the size of the two firearms is surprisingly consistent, and there is almost no error! ”

Timur also knew ordnance, and when he heard this, his face suddenly became solemn, and after recomparing the two firearms, he was shocked to find that the size of the two firearms was really not bad at all.

This is a very terrible thing, which proves that the Ming Dynasty has left them several streets behind in the manufacture of ordnance, leaving them far behind.

However, thinking about the next words made his heart even more cold.

"Uncle, one more thing you have to pay attention to, Da Ming is equipped with a lot of this kind of firearms in the army!"

"Almost one for everyone!"

"Shhh

"Da Ming is so powerful?"

"Turn around, go to the martial arts arena!"

"Yes!"

Timur was not in a hurry to return to the palace, and immediately took his nephew Crooked Si to the martial arts arena near the capital to personally test the power of these two new firearms.

Crooked thought all the way along the way, reloading Timur with ease, and then teaching him how to light the fire rope, pull the trigger, and so on.

Although Timur had already guessed the function of various parts, he still listened very carefully to the crooked instructions and conducted a test firing according to his words.

Naturally, the emperor's test shot could not use an ordinary target, but ten death row inmates were found from the cell and stood in a row.

Timur was a good archer, but he was a little rusty with firecrackers and the like.

At the time of the first test firing, because it was off, the bullet was directly sent flying.

The second time was slightly better, but it also managed to avoid the vital point of the death row prisoner, and only hit the death row prisoner in the leg, causing the death row prisoner to wail.

But Timur was still very happy, and generously pardoned the death row prisoner, saying that it was not he who shot the level food, but the true God blessed the first two death row prisoners and let him escape his fire.

However, the third death row prisoner was not so lucky, he was shot directly in the chest by Timur, fell to the ground and convulsed a few times before he was completely dead.

With a successful test shot, Timur's next shot became more and more proficient, and three of the remaining seven death row inmates fell to the ground in the chest, and one was shot in the head, knocking his head into a watermelon on the spot.

The other four were slightly luckier, two were shot in the arm and two were shot in the abdomen and shoulder, narrowly escaping.

After the test firing, Timur did not appear to be very happy.

Because he found something even more terrible during the test firing, that is, this thing is extremely fast to use, and it hardly takes much time to train soldiers to form a very powerful combat power!

Timur got into the carriage with a gloomy face, went directly to the ordnance workshop near the capital, and gathered all the skilled craftsmen together.

"Who can make such an ordnance?"

Hearing this, the craftsmen collectively shook their heads after a moment's scrutiny.

They had been dealing with iron for many years, and they didn't need to look closely, just by looking at the smooth and neat appearance of this weapon, they knew that it was made of wrought iron.

If they build a sword, they will naturally be fine, but it is not ordinary to create this kind of firearm with a hole in the middle.

Seeing this, Timur immediately roared angrily.

"Three days!"

"Within three days, those who successfully imitate this thing will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and if they can't imitate it, the whole family will be beheaded!"

"Huh?"

When the craftsmen heard this, they immediately stepped forward to pick up the fire hammer and observe it carefully.

However, after seeing it, everyone was silent.

"Your Majesty Su Dan, it's not for us to prevaricate, it's really difficult to build this thing!"

"Don't look at this thing as just an iron pipe, but if you want to withstand the impact of gunpowder, the iron pipe must not have any gaps, and it must be drilled on the basis of a wrought iron rod."

"The drilling process alone takes at least ten days, or even a month, not to mention the internal lines of the firecracker, and it takes even longer to carve this kind of pattern......

When Timur heard this, he couldn't help but pick up the fire gun again and look at it, and sure enough, he found spiral lines inside the fire gun.

"What are the lines inside the firecracker?"

The craftsmen shook their heads blankly when they heard this, and said in their hearts that it would be good if they could find it, how could they know the purpose of this thing?

In the end, he stood up for them and lifted the siege.

"Back to Your Majesty, my nephew has tried it on the road with and without a patterned firecracker, and found that the shooting with lines is more accurate!"

"Oooh!"

Timur originally wanted to order the craftsman to remove the lines, but when he heard this, he immediately expressed his seriousness.

"You must wait for the same imitation, not a single grain can be missing!"

"Those who succeed in imitation have houses, land, slaves, gold and silver, and if they can't imitate it, they will be put to death!"

Crooked Si hurriedly added.

"Your Majesty, Uncle, and gunpowder......"

"The gunpowder used by Daming is also different from ours, it is granular gunpowder, which is extremely powerful......"

"Yes, yes, and gunpowder!"

"The gunpowder must be the same for me!"
