When Timur heard this, he wanted to slap this guy to death, he just said that he had no secrets about himself, and he turned his head and told himself that this thing can't be talked about!

"Xiao Wang, you didn't say that just now, did you?"

Wang Mian blushed in embarrassment when he heard this.

"That's really not what Weichen said just now...... However, Weichen doesn't know much about this thing, only that it is the result of the latest research of the Martial Arts Research Institute, and the tail fin behind may have the effect of stabilizing the cannon body when flying, and I really don't know if it is more......"

"Oooh......"

Timur thought for a moment.

"Does it work the same as the feathers behind the arrows?"

Wang Mian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he wanted to slap himself.

I didn't think of such a simple truth!

"Back to Your Majesty, it may be as you say!"

As soon as Timur saw Wang Mian like this, he knew that this was a typical fool, so he didn't bother to deal with him anymore.

However, after visiting the Ming arsenal, Timur found that it was really as Wang Mian's fool said, even if the Ming Dynasty opened up for himself to see, he would not be able to learn anything.

Even if you memorize the shape of all the cannons, you don't know the iron recipe for casting the cannon, let alone the gunpowder recipe in the cannonball.

"Alas!"

"It seems that my empire has no other way out but to surrender!"

Wang Mian was overjoyed when he heard this, the reason why he showed off his muscles in front of Timur was not because he remembered the role of a soldier who surrendered without a fight?

According to the outline of His Majesty the Emperor's recent cabinet meetings, the Ming Dynasty has long since transformed from the past to conquer and conquer the people on its land, making it driven by China.

Therefore, for the current Ming Dynasty, victory is not the ultimate goal, and victory at the lowest cost is what the court is pursuing.

But who is Timur, and who takes his unintentional exclamation seriously, then who is really a big fool.

After visiting the arsenal of the Ming Dynasty, Timur returned directly to the palace and waited, waiting for the Ming Emperor Zhu Yunxi to come to see him.

However, Timur miscalculated, he did not wait for Zhu Yunxi, but only for one of Zhu Yunxi's courtiers.

"In the next Zhang Zongjun, I came on the order of our emperor to ask His Majesty Timur if he is willing to accept the conditions for peace talks proposed by the Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Timur looked at Zhang Zongjun coldly, and a trace of anger and disdain flashed in his eyes.

Angry at Daming's rudeness, disdainful of the other party's identity.

"Get out!"

"Someone with enough identity to talk to me!"

Zhang Zongjun didn't mean to move at all when he heard this, but just shouted out of the door.

"Liang Guogong, His Majesty Timur doesn't look down on Weichen, so it's better for your old man to come forward!"

Lan Yu was shy when she heard this, and walked in laughing along the way.

"Timur, we're old friends, you won't even dislike us, right?"

Timur glanced at Lan Yu when he heard this, he had already eaten three big defeats in the hands of this guy, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh raw!

"Humph!"

"Can you represent your Daming?"

Hearing this, Lan Yu put away her smile and put on a solemn expression.

"Solemnly introduce, we are the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, the uncle of the late Prince Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty, the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the relatives of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"What we said is what His Majesty the Emperor Ming said!"

When Timur saw Lan Yu say this, his face also put away the look of banter, and became solemn and serious.

"Good!"

"Since you can represent Da Ming, then I will talk to you!"

In fact, Timur was not willing to negotiate with a child who was dozens of years younger than himself, and even if Zhu Yunxi showed enough respect, he still felt offended.

Relatively speaking, changing to Lan Yu, who was about the same age as himself, made him feel much better.

Lan Yu stepped forward with a big grin, ordered someone to carry a chair for him, and then sat down with his butt and lifted Erlang's legs.

"Come on, you can tell us what conditions you have, and if we can agree directly, we can agree on the spot. Even if we can't agree, we can give you a reply if we go back and ask our niece! ”

Timur frowned and thought for a while when he heard this, and then spoke slowly.

"Tell me about the conditions you can give."

Lan Yu had discussed it with Zhu Yunxi before he came, and he didn't hesitate to say Da Ming's conditions when he heard the words.

"Go to the Emperor!"

Timur struggled slightly when he heard this, and nodded heavily.

"Yes!"

"Bow to the Ming Dynasty!"

Timur was originally the son-in-law of Chagatai and was a vassal to the Chagatai Khan, so he did not have much psychological burden on this.

"Yes!"

"Commerce!"

"Good!"

This time, Timur agreed without hesitation, because even if Da Ming didn't mention it, he would make this request.

Now Daming is in full swing, the best things are produced by Daming, not only does he not resist trade, but he is afraid that Daming is unwilling to sell it.

As long as Da Ming is willing to open his arms to him, he is very willing to surrender to Da Ming and suck blood from Da Ming's body.

"The tax rate is the same!"

"Yes, that's fair!"

"Guarantee the personal and property safety of my Ming merchants in the Timurid Kingdom, and not be violated by anyone!"

"No problem!"

"Although I went to the Emperor, I still have this prestige!"

"Disband the army, only 100,000 standing troops can be retained."

"If you want to expand the army, you must ask for the consent of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Timur frowned when he heard this.

"If you only keep 100,000, I'm afraid it won't be enough to ensure the safety of my empire, right?"

"Even if the Ming Dynasty doesn't come to fight me, the Kipchak Khanate in the east and the Ottoman Empire in the west won't let me go!"

Lan Yu smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, the security of your country is naturally responsible for my Daming, if they dare to invade your country, I Daming will definitely sanction them!"

"That's ......"

Timur thought for a moment, and finally nodded with difficulty.

"Okay!"

"But the old man must say ugly things in advance, if you can't guarantee the safety of our country, my country has the right to expand the army!"

When Lan Yu heard this, a wave of anger rose in her heart, and she was almost about to go crazy. But when he thought that his nephew and grandson had entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and wanted to make himself the first and auxiliary minister of the military aircraft, he forcibly endured this breath.

"Okay!"

"But if you dare to expand the army without my permission, the old man can destroy you at any time!"

The two negotiated for a long time on other details, such as sending protons in the name of studying in the Ming Dynasty, fully opening up trade, allowing Ming merchants to enter and leave their borders freely, buying and selling fairly, and not forcibly confiscating the property of Ming merchants.

It was not until the sky was revealed that the two finally decided on a peace treaty.

After signing the contract, Timur left the next day and returned home.

But Zhu Yunxi didn't want to let him go back to China so easily, and wanted him to cooperate with him in a scene.

"Your Majesty Timur, let's sign a contract before leaving."

"Okay......"

Timur thought that it was just a contract, but when it came to the day the contract was signed, not only the Eastern and Western popes watched the ceremony, but even the envoys of the Golden Horde and the Ottoman Empire were also sitting on the viewing platform.

What made Timur feel even more uncomfortable was that there were still people on the signing stage who kept preaching the contents of the agreement between the two countries in Persian, Mongolian, Turkic, and Ming official dialects, and even some detailed rules were not missed.

And the audience is the people of the entire Kangju City, as well as merchants and scholars from all over the world.

It can be said that as long as you sign the contract, it will take less than a month, and the whole West will know about it.

Seeing this, Timur wanted to throw off his sleeves and leave, but after all, he promised Daming to sign the contract, even if he was not happy at this time, he could only sign his name on the contract.

Zhu Yunxi, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not only attended the farewell ceremony, but also signed the contract. He also very politely sent a congratulatory gift to Timur, a fine porcelain plate fired by Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty, implying that the friendship between the two countries is harmonious and complete.

When Timur stepped into the carriage and headed for the way home, Zhang Zongjun sighed meaningfully.

"Alas!"

"I don't know if Timur will be able to keep the contract......"

Zhu Yunxi immediately sneered when he heard this.

"Don't worry, Timur will throw away the contract as soon as he returns to Isfahan!"

"Uh-uh?"

"Your Majesty, since you know, why did you let Timur go?"

Zhu Yunxi sighed secretly and said.

"What if you don't let him go?"

"Could it be that I can still detain it in Kangju City?"

Zhang Zongjun lowered his head and thought that this was really the truth, the Western Regions were too big, so big that the Ming Dynasty simply did not have enough officials to govern it.

Moreover, the terrain and geography of the Western Regions are complex, and there are constant religious and ethnic conflicts, and the slightest carelessness will lead to fire.

Therefore, if it wants to rule the Western Regions, it must need the assistance of a large number of local nobles in the early stage.

"If Your Majesty knows that Timur doesn't care about contracts, why do you sign a contract with him?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Have you ever heard of the Seven Captures of Meng Shu?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Zongjun's eyes were about to fall to the ground in surprise when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, you don't think that Timur, like Meng Shu, can be influenced by our Ming Dynasty, right?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head again when he heard this.

"Of course not!"

"But if he loses his trust with us once, won't we have one more chance to crusade against him?"

"When one day we really destroy the country, the Western countries will not only not be frightened, but will feel that we have done the right thing!"

"Oooh oh ......"

Zhang Zongjun showed a sudden expression when he heard this.

"Weichen understands, what Your Majesty cares about is not what Timur thinks, but to use Timur's matter to show the whole West!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard this.

"The West is too big, and there are many principalities, and there are constant religious disputes."

"It's easy to knock them down, but it's hard to have long-term and stable governance."

"And we also have to consider the cost of governance. If they do things frequently, we can't afford to toss even if we wear armor! ”

When Zhang Zongjun heard this, his face showed a strong sense of admiration.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Weichen understands, Your Majesty is not planning for a while, but for eternity!"

On the other side, as soon as Timur fled from the Kangju area, he tore the signed contract to shreds and threw it on both sides of the road.

He didn't want to accept the peace talks of the Ming Dynasty from the beginning, and he would not give up his imperial dignity even if he died!

Timur returned to Isfahan, did not even enter the palace, and went directly to the artisan quarter of the city.

"Call your stewards here!"

An emir named Sharif hurried over.

"Your Honourable Lord, Your faithful servant Sharif is willing to listen to your instructions!"

In fact, normally speaking, Sharif is also a Chagatai nobleman, so he doesn't have to be so low.

But the previous ones died so miserably that he could only find a way to make a good impression in front of His Majesty Timur.

"You know how your previous officials died, right?"

"Yes!"

"They died because they failed to complete the task assigned by His Majesty, and they deserved to die!"

Timur nodded.

"I've given you a task now, and you're going to build a weapon according to the pattern on my drawings......"

"I'm only giving you a month!"

"Good!"

When Timur saw that he had agreed too quickly, he became suspicious.

"Do you know what it will be like if you can't do it?"

"If you can't build it within a month, I can only break you into pieces!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Wechen will definitely complete his mission within a month!"

Seeing Sharif's firmness, Timur felt that this was a serious official, and his tone couldn't help but soften.

"From now on, you will concentrate on this matter, if you need anything, you can enter the palace at any time to find me, all the resources in the empire are at your disposal, as long as you can create these weapons within the specified time, whatever reward you want will satisfy you!"

Sharif thought for a moment.

"Weichen wants to marry His Majesty's seventeenth princess......"

"Oh?"

When Timur heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Good boy, the seventeenth princess is the pearl of my palm, you kid dare to think about it!"

"However, if you kid can really create these weapons, I can't consider marrying the seventeenth princess to you!"

Sharif pretended to be very happy and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please rest assured, even if Weichen doesn't sleep, he will still build the weapon within the specified time!"

When Timur saw that Sharif was so excited, he couldn't help but secretly release water in his heart.

Even if Sharif didn't build all the weapons in the end, but only one or two, he would reward him heavily and marry his favorite daughter to him.

"You go and get busy, and report to me at any time if there is progress......"

"Yes!"

After Timur left, Sharif immediately called a meeting of all the craftsmen and assigned them very detailed tasks.

"You're in charge of this drawing, you're in charge of this ......"

"Everyone works in three shifts, make sure to craft the weapon within the specified date......"

"Yes......"

Compared with Sharif's crisp and neat, the craftsmen's reply was much more rational.

Because they can see at a glance that this is not something that can be done in a month!

In fact, Sharif also knew that there would be no results in a month, so after assigning the task, he transferred all kinds of iron, copper, and silver materials from the treasury under the banner of Timur......

All the iron was sent to the workshop to cast cannons, and half of the copper was transported to the workshop, and the remaining half was secretly sold by him to the Ming merchants.

As for the silver, he simply secretly exchanged them all with the Ming merchants for light and easy-to-carry "golden tickets", and only sent a few carts of tin ingots that looked like silver to the workshop.

After doing all this, Sharif disguised himself and bought off the guards at the head of Isfahan with a huge sum of money of one million taels of "golden tickets", and secretly decorated the city with ropes from the city.

When Timur received the news of Sharif's disappearance the next day, Sharif had already run away for 300 miles with a huge amount of money......
