As the saying goes, the upper side moves the mouth, and the lower side runs and breaks the leg.

Timur and Crooked did not know at all how high they demanded of the craftsmen.

After Timur and the others left, Darukhajavin Kuban, who was in charge of ordnance, immediately gathered all the skilled craftsmen together to discuss how to complete the two tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time Your Majesty has issued a strict order, we must complete these two tasks, otherwise my life will not be guaranteed, and you will not have a good life!"

"My lord, we naturally know the seriousness of the matter, but the task assigned by His Majesty is too difficult, and it is not possible for us to achieve it at all!"

"That's right!"

"Let's not talk about the making of the gunpowder, just the granular gunpowder, we don't have a clue."

"We don't know the formula, and we don't know what process Daming uses, how can we make the same thing as others!"

Jiawen Kuban also knows the difficulty of preparing granular gunpowder, and if the ratio of this thing is slightly deviated, the effect may be greatly reduced.

But one of the two tasks has to be completed, right?

"Then give up the matter of particle gunpowder first, let's go all out to make the gunpowder first!"

"I don't care what method you use, you must make me a few copies of the same firecracker as soon as possible!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately began to discuss it one by one.

Although the Daenglao Torch made them stunned, it did not reach the level that made them breathtaking.

They can't match Da Ming in terms of speed, but as long as they are given enough time, they can grind a little bit with a drill, and they can grind a few rods of exactly the same thing.

"My lord, the main difficulty of the fire gun is drilling, this is the most time-consuming and laborious, even if it is three shifts, it can't be made in ten days and a half months!"

"As for the texture inside, there is really no way to do this, with our existing means, we can't make a smooth texture like Daming, and the style of the texture may also be out of shape......"

When Javin Kuban heard this, he was furious on the spot.

"Are you trying to kill me?"

"I just made it very clear, whoever can't do it will be executed!"

"I don't care what you do, make sure you make me something exactly the same!"

"Even if it's longer!"

When everyone heard that the time could be extended, they nodded with difficulty.

"If adults can buy more time, then we will naturally have a way to imitate it!"

"Good!"

"Then let's get started!"

Javin Kuban immediately ordered the craftsmen to start with all their might, open the furnace and pour the iron rods, then fire, beat, and finally have experienced craftsmen drill holes, etc.

Other parts of the gunpowder were also imitated at the same time, and the armament of gunpowder did not stop, but some experienced craftsmen tried various means against the granular gunpowder brought back by Crooked Thoughts.

For example, look at the color, smell the smell, taste the taste.

Although the technique is more traditional, the effect is still good, and one of the old craftsmen actually tasted the taste of egg whites from it.

"My lord, if my villain guesses correctly, these granules of gunpowder are made from egg whites!"

"Egg whites?"

"Yes!"

"Egg whites are a very good binder......"

"Then hurry up and copy it!"

The old craftsman showed a bitter gourd face when he heard this.

"My lord, this needs to be tried and matched for a long time, otherwise you won't be able to find Daming's recipe!"

"Good!"

"I'll give you a hundred craftsmen, ask for money and things as you ask, as long as you can imitate this granular gunpowder for me, I will definitely show you a credit in front of Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, little man!"

The Timurid Empire was a new empire, thriving from top to bottom, and many people at the bottom had made the leap through talent and military exploits.

Therefore, the craftsman will not doubt Javin Kuban's promise at all, because if he dares to make a promise, it will definitely be fulfilled.

While the craftsmen were in full swing to imitate the Great Ming Flame and gunpowder, Timur had basically completed the reorganization of the Crooked Army.

Although the nominal commander of this army is still crooked, a large number of middle-level officers have been replaced by Timur men.

After all, relatives belong to relatives, and when you really do things, you still have to divide the monarch and the minister.

Crooked Si did not dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction with this, and could only secretly swear in his heart that he would get rid of Timur's control in the future.

After Timur completed the reorganization of the Crooked Thoughts' army, in order to appease the Crooked Thoughts, he also selected a daughter of the same age from his harem children to marry the Crooked Thoughts and enveloped the Crooked Thoughts.

Although Crooked Si was dissatisfied in his heart, he still did not dare to refuse Timur's marriage. In addition, he really needed the support of the Timurid Empire, so he could only pretend to be happy and become Timur's son-in-law.

After marrying Timur's daughter, Timur finally fulfilled his ambition many years ago and successfully integrated the legal system of the Chagatai Khanate under his name.

As for Chagatai's domain, it already belongs to him in name. As long as he can defeat the Ming army and regain the Tianshan region from the Ming army, he will naturally become the khan of that region!

The Ming Dynasty pushed two khanates one after another, which not only shocked Timur, but also frightened the Golden Horde in the northwest into a frightened bird.

The Khan of the Golden Horde, Timur Khuglut, not only recalled the troops on the Western Front to suppress Kiev, but even transferred the troops on the southern front to defend the Timurid Empire, partly to defend the national capital, and partly to guard against the invasion of the Ming Dynasty on the border.

As for Mahamu, who came over from Chengcheng, he was also entrusted with an important task to represent the Golden Horde as an envoy to the Timurid Empire to discuss cooperation between the two countries and jointly fight against the Ming Dynasty.

When Mahamu came to Samarkand, he finally met his father, who had been absent for a long time. After the two hugged their heads and cried, expressing their nostalgia for their homeland, they began to seriously discuss how to deal with the current crisis.

"Son, the Ming Dynasty is already invincible to dominate the world, we must not hit the stone with an egg......"

"Huh?"

"Does my father want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"

Hao Haida nodded embarrassedly.

"It's also an option......

Hearing this, Mahamu pushed his father away with an angry face.

"Father!"

"How can you have such a mind, I, Mahamu, will not surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and vow to fight with the Ming Dynasty to the end!"

Hao Haida wanted to look at his excited son, and he didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

He has truly seen the power of Daming, and has a deep fear of Daming.

But his son has always lived on the grassland and has never been to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, so he has no idea what the Ming Dynasty has developed.

"Then you can try, and the father will not persuade you anymore."

"But please remember one thing, don't take refuge in Timur, Timur is no different from the Ming Dynasty, and you will be devoured without even a single bone residue!"

Maham nodded.

"My son understands!"

"The son intends to swing left and right between the Golden Horde and Timur, earning benefits from both sides!"

"Okay!"

"You have a good grasp of proportion, and you must not cause common hostility between the two countries!"

When Mahamu left his father's house, he went to rest at the inn provided by Timur.

First, he was the envoy Timur on behalf of the Golden Horde, and secondly, he also wanted to draw a line with his father and did not want to live with this capitulation faction.

The next day, Mahamu met with Timur under the leadership of court officials and handed over the credentials of Khughroot, the Golden Horde Khan.

Timur casually looked at the letter and threw it aside.

Because the credentials do not say who is the main thing, this proves that Khuglut has not seen the situation in front of him clearly, and is still dreaming of the Golden Horde.

But he is very interested in Mahamu, this guy can run out with more than 100,000 young and strong people under the round-up of several armies in the Ming Dynasty, both courage and ability are good.

"I heard that you have brought more than 100,000 elites to Kugroot?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the foreign ministers are also forced to do so. When the Ming army attacked the Khan's court, the foreign ministers happened to be led by the order of the Great Yuan Khan, and when I learned that the Khan's court was attacked and wanted to return to the division to rescue, I received the order of my Great Yuan Khan, and ordered me to quickly flee into the Golden Horde with people and leave the last fire for the Great Yuan! ”

"My Dayuan Khan uses his body as bait, which is why he will fight for a glimmer of life for us, woo woo woo ......"

Although Timur knew what kind of character Beiyuan was, when he heard Mahamu say this, he still shed a few tears of sympathy.

"I didn't expect Ugqi Hashha to have such bloody bravery, I underestimated him before!"

"The Great Khan of Ugqi Hashha has always taken the revitalization of the Northern Yuan as his own responsibility, and this time he was captured by the Ming army is also forced by the situation, and the foreign ministers must one day welcome back the Khan and rebuild the Great Yuan!"

Timur showed a knowing smile when he heard this, this little guy can, so young can he open his eyes so smoothly and talk nonsense?

"You've got a heart!"

"You go back and tell Kugroot that he can express his sincerity in forming an alliance between the two countries, and then talk about the alliance between the two countries."

"The foreign minister takes the order!"

When Mahamu came out of the palace, he was immediately stopped by a young man.

"You're Mahamu?"

Ma Hamu stared at the young man opposite for a while, and suddenly thought of a person, and asked tentatively.

"Aren't you Your Highness the Crooked Thoughts who are following the same illness?"

Crooked thought smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"I have long heard that you are a well-known wise man on the grassland, and when I saw you today, you really deserved your reputation!"

"It's a crooked thought in the next place, and I'm fortunate to have met His Excellency Mahamu!"

"It is also an honor to be able to have the honor to meet General Crooked Si who defeated the Ming army!"

Although Crooked Si lost his troops in the battle against Lanyu, his record was already the best in these years, and he was regarded as the best general of the younger generation by the Timurid Empire, the Golden Horde and other Western Regions countries.

Crooked Si heard Mahamu's compliment, and a wry smile appeared on his face again.

"It's just other people's nonsense, why is Brother Mahamu making fun of me like this?"

"The strength of the Ming army is rare in the world!"

"Even if I tried my best to break through the Ming army's formation, I still failed to make the Ming army chaotic, and in the end I was almost surrounded by the Ming army."

Maham echoed.

"yes!"

"Da Ming is so powerful, just overnight, he defeated millions of people in the Khan Court, and he didn't even give me time to rescue......"

The more the two young men talked, the more speculative they became, and finally they simply went to a restaurant in the city to drink and chat.

But both of them are very measured, only talking about the Ming Dynasty, not about the homeland.

For both knew that with Timur's shrewdness, it was impossible not to send someone to keep an eye on both of them.

But the two still secretly reached an alliance and said that they would share information.

However, the most discussed between the two was the tactical skills of fighting against Daming.

"You are the one who really fought with the Ming Dynasty, you can tell me the real strength of the Ming army?"

Crooked thought shook his head.

"It's hard to say!"

"Although Lan Yu is a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, the army he leads is definitely not elite."

"But even so, I still paid the price of more than 10,000 elite cavalry to escape from Lan Yu's hands."

"If it's against the elite under General Chang Sheng, I'm afraid I won't be able to run away, even if I want to!"

Maham also had palpitations when he heard this.

"yes!"

"Although I haven't fought against Chang Sheng, I listened to the people who ran out of the Khan's court say that Chang Sheng's army is very strong and numerous, and it rushes into the Khan's court from all directions, giving people no chance to react."

"Until now, I haven't figured out how Chang Sheng led hundreds of thousands of people to trek through the ice and snow, and how did he find our Khan Court?"

The two chatted here, and they were silent for each other, until the guy from the restaurant stepped forward to ask, and the two came back to their senses.

"Come on, let's not talk about this for now, let's drink ......"

"Drink!"

While the two men were drunk and carried back to their respective quarters by their attendants, Timur was listening to the reports of his men.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Highness Mahamu and Crooked Si didn't say anything excessive, just discussed the armament and military system of the Ming Dynasty."

"Oh......"

"What a couple of bloody little guys!"

Timur determined the behavior of the two men, and did not pay attention to the matter, but picked up the first batch of imitation firecrackers placed in front of him.

"It's been more than ten days, and they've built something like this?"

"Back to Your Majesty, according to Lord Jiawen Kuban, who is in charge of ordnance building, this is already the limit that our imperial craftsmen can reach."

"If you want to further improve, you can only go to Daming to study and visit, and learn from other people's technical means."

Timur shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and wanted to send someone to visit and study in Daming, which was almost an impossible task.

"Pass the order, anyone who brings back craftsmen and mechanical drawings from Daming will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"

"Yes!"

"At the same time, send our people to go deep into Daming to trade, waiting for an opportunity to steal Daming's technology!"

"Yes!"

As he spoke, Timur expertly picked up a fire charge, lit it, and pulled the trigger on a vase that had been placed in the palace.

With a loud "bang", the blue and white porcelain vase from Dayuan in the palace was instantly smashed into pieces.

"Go and call Javin Kuban in!"

"Yes!"

After a short time, Javin Kuban entered the main hall and bowed to Timur.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty!"

"You've done a good job, although the imitation firecracker is a little weaker and less accurate, but it's barely usable!"

"Back to Your Majesty, this is all thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, and it is the result of the blessing of the true God, and Weichen does not dare to take credit!"

Timur snorted coldly when he heard this.

"What's yours is yours!"

"Promote Javin Kuban to the emir, and take charge of the construction of ordnance, which can be related to the affairs of the country!"

"Huh?"

Javin Kuban was stunned when he heard this, how could he not have thought that he would become an emir and a nobleman of the empire?

What shocked him even more was the last sentence of the country, which was a great honor, proving that he was qualified to participate in the military and political power of the empire.

"Weichen Xie Your Majesty reuses!"

Timur looked at Javin Kuban, who was short of breath, with a warm smile on his face.

"I'll give you three months, can you make 10,000 of these firearms?"

"Three months?"

When Javin Kuban heard this, he instantly turned back from the joy of his promotion, and then fell into the boundless ice cave.

As for the ten strokes in front of him, he mobilized hundreds of the best craftsmen and spent more than ten days to create them.

If he is allowed to build 10,000 strokes, not to mention whether there is enough time, so many craftsmen alone will not be able to make it up!

"Your Majesty......"

However, before Javin Kuban could say his words, Timur's face sank.

"You can ask for anything, but 10,000 firearms, not a single one can be missing!"

When Javin Kuban heard this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Your Majesty, the construction of this thing is very labor-intensive, and the current number of craftsmen in Isaacmarkand may not be able to complete it in three months."

"How many people do you want?"

"10,000 ......"

"Good!"

"I will recruit skilled craftsmen from all over the country, and I will definitely gather enough craftsmen for you by the end of the month!"

"As for the rest of the expenses, as long as you have a need, just ask, the empire will meet all of them!"

When Jia Wen Kuban heard this, he could only slap his ass.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"
