This time, a total of 11 envoys, under the series of King Bairi Missoula of the Kingdom of Malacca, sent envoys together to ask for a meeting with the powerful Timurid Empire.

The envoys complained to Shaharu that the Ming fleet and artillery had reached the Bengal Sultanate, and that it was only a month's journey from Delhi after coming ashore from the Bengal Sultanate.

Bairi Missoula met Ming Chengzu back then, and later Zhu Di was defeated by Zhu Gaoxu, and he wanted to go to the Han people to meet Zhu Gaoxu.

But soon, he realized that what Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu wanted was fundamentally different.

What Zhu Di wants is the face of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, as long as the Kingdom of Malacca pays tribute to him, he can get more rewards, including a large amount of gold and silver.

But Zhu Gaoxu not only did not pull out a dime, but also moved the port and shipyard to Malacca step by step, and the artillery and fleet of the Ming Empire have been getting closer and closer to Malacca.

Bairi Missoula realized that what Zhu Gaoxu wanted was the entire Malacca dynasty, his throne.

To this end, Bairi Missoula is strung everywhere.

At the same time, the aggressiveness of the Ming people was felt equally by the major kingdoms of South and Southeast Asia.

After Zhu Gaoxu won the war against the rebellion, the Ming people did not stop expanding overseas, and actively built shipyards and ports in various places.

In Temasek (Singapore), the Ming drove the Siamese back to their homeland, completely occupied Temasek, and began to expand the port with plundered natives.

In South Sumatra, the Ming army marched straight north, encroaching layer by layer, and had almost occupied the entire Sumatra archipelago, and built a port and artillery factory opposite the capital of Malacca, at the key point of the Strait of Malacca.

On land, the Angkor dynasty and southern Burma were oppressed by the Ming army.

The Ming army is now training the Yue people as the new army in Jiaozhi, and it is said that in the whole territory of Jiaozhi, another 100,000 Yue people have been gathered, and after the training, they will definitely launch attacks on Siam, Angkor, Burma and other kingdoms from the land.

There are all kinds of indications that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu, will become the most aggressive emperor in the history of the Han people.

The envoy Duhara finally said loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Sultan of the Timurid Empire. The Ming man Zhu Gaoxu is constantly expanding overseas, and if you sit idly by, it won't take half a year for his iron cavalry artillery to enter Delhi. ”

Delhi (Madrid, the head of India) was originally the capital of the Delhi Sultanate (Sayyid dynasty), but after the rise of the Timurid Empire in 1398, Timur led his army south and launched the famous Battle of Delhi.

The Delhi Sultanate suffered a heavy blow, the leader was breached, and Timur's soldiers and horses did not seal their swords for three days, executing 100,000 prisoners of all kinds before and after. Only experienced artisans were left alive and forcibly relocated to Samarkand to be used as state slaves.

If, according to Duhara, the Ming army will come to Delhi in half a year, then in the future, even if Shaharu does not fight the Ming, the Ming people can enter the territory of the Saeed dynasty from the sea at any time, and Shaharu will have to face the powerful Ming army sooner or later.

As soon as Duhara's voice fell, there was a lot of noise in the tent, some people shouted that they would strike first, just like Timur back then, preparing to cut down the matter, some people said that Duhara was alarmist, and then it was said that people were going to land in India, and there was a Saeed dynasty to resist, and it was not Shaharu's turn for the time being.

"Stop arguing." Shaharu suddenly let out a loud shout, and the tent fell silent.

"Bring me my father's map." Shaharu Dao.

Harino was so excited that he quickly turned around and left, and after a while, he took the map that Timur was preparing to attack the Ming Kingdom.

In the process of going east, Timur arranged for more than 200,000 people to settle fields and prepare food supplies.

"The new emperor of the Ming people is extremely aggressive, even if we don't go east, sooner or later they will come over, and we can't give them time to recuperate."

"Ulugh Beg" Shaharu is called the eldest son.

"Father." Ulugh Beg rose up.

"You led 100,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry first, along the route of my father, stationed in Tuntian, and prepared grain and grass for us."

Ulugh Beg was the eldest son of Shahru and the third ruler of the Timurid Empire, both he and his father Shahru maintained the strength of the empire and were considered a wise monarch, after him, the Timur Empire got worse and worse.

As the future Ming monarch, Ulugh Beg must have thought that it was wrong to attack the Ming Kingdom, but now he had no choice but to agree: "It's my father." ”

There was jubilation in the big tent of "Wow Roar", everyone knew that the Shahru Sultan, who ruled most of the Asian states and was the strongest on land in their eyes, officially declared war on the Ming Dynasty, a great power in the east.

"Zahualu."

"Father." The second son, Zha Hualu, responded.

"You go to various places to send troops and horses, and at this time next year, I hope to see the 500,000 army led by you in East Chagatai."

"Obey my father." Zahualu shook his fist firmly.

The entire Timur Empire was mobilized and would gather troops and horses in a year's time from all the conquered territories.

The last army to be used in the crusade, Shaharu hopes to reach one million.

As an echo of Shahru, the countries of East Asia and Southeast Asia mobilized their armies after returning to the Ming and officially launched a military campaign against the Ming, no matter what, they first dragged the Ming soldiers and horses in the Nanyang to the South Sea, so that they could not support to the southwest.

"Harino, return to Benjamin's side at once, and make him fully mobilize and prepare, and at the same time launch an attack on the Ming Kingdom with us before June next year."

"Yes, father."

"Ladies and gentlemen." Shaharu stood tall and looked proudly: "A year and a half, we need at least a year and a half to prepare. ”

"In June next year, the iron cavalry of our empire will officially set foot on the land of the Ming Kingdom."

"Crusade to the Ming Dynasty."

"Crusade to the Ming Dynasty." There was a lot of joy in the tent.

In the first month of the second year of Hongxi, the Timurid Empire, which had been strong for more than half a century, formally established the Faming Alliance with eleven East Asian and Southeast Asian kingdoms.

Most of Asia was involved, and dozens of client states of different sizes and hundreds of different forces sent troops to participate, and the scale of the battle was even far greater than the two major wars of the Ming State.

——

Zhu Gaoxu, who was far away in Yingtianfu, did not know that thousands of miles away, there was already a Timurid Empire, which was as strong as the Ming Dynasty, officially preparing for the battle to destroy the Ming.

Daming had just entered the New Year, and after the New Year, Zhu Gaoxu first summoned Mao Xin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"Ministers knock to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty--"

"Hey, don't say it, come here." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to interrupt Mao Xin.

Mao Xin's eyes were moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

Your Majesty has become the emperor, and he still has no shelf as before.

"In recent years, the imperial court has to use troops against Nanyang, mainly to plunder, but on the Nanyang side, it is okay to plunder wealth, but the population is really not much, and it is too far away."

"We also have to plunder a large number of people and enrich the slave gandusi." Zhu Gaoxu never forgot that Nu'er Gandusi, in addition to preventing the rise of the Jurchens, there was also a large piece of territory that needed to be taken back.

"Goryeo and Dongben are relatively close, and the population is relatively large, but now, there is no excuse to go to war, and we have just finished fighting the rebellion, and we need to recuperate."

"Jinyiwei Special Intelligence Department, starting today, organize people to go to Dongben and Goryeo."

"The focus of the next few years, Jinyiwei is in Dongben Goryeo."

Mao Xin listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

"Gather and investigate local officials and civilians, plan local maps, and understand the deployment of troops in the two countries."

"Send people to pretend to be businessmen to operate in the local area, make friends with powerful people, and pay special attention to making friends with some people who are dissatisfied with the imperial courts of the two countries and have power in their hands."

"That's probably it, how to do it, you personally draw up a charter, how many people are going to be sent, how much money is needed, and then report it."

"Obey." Mao Xin mainly did these things during the Jingjing and the rebellion war, and the rebel soldiers who infiltrated in various places at that time were all arranged by him, and he was very experienced.

Zhu Gaoxu obviously only saw his surroundings now, and didn't realize that thousands of miles away, there were already people eyeing him.

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu only wants to recuperate in China at this time, and if he can't fight, in recent years, he will try not to fight.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Gaoxu went out of the palace in private clothes again, taking Zhong Xian, Zhou Hu, and a team of guards.

Zhu Gaochu asked Zhou Hu not to follow and go home to accompany his family, but Zhou Hu refused, he must follow, and Zhu Gaochu had no choice.

The three of them left the palace after dinner, and now it is winter, the sky has darkened, and there are no people on the main street, only the Qinhuai River is still relatively lively.

Zhu Gaoxu came to the Qinhuai River today.

The Qinhe River is L-shaped in Nanjing, connecting the Yangtze River in the north, along the Qingliangmen and Sanshanmen in the outer city, until it reaches the Jubaomen in the south, and then goes east, passing through Zhengyangmen.

There is a tributary above the Jubao Gate, just below Sanshan Street.

This section is the most prosperous section of Nanjing, with large and small shops in Nanjing, and all kinds of restaurants and red mansions on both sides.

Zhou Hu and Zhong Xian looked at Zhu Gaoxu standing by the river for a moment, and the two looked at each other silently.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhu Gaoxu asked: "On the banks of the Qinhuai River, what is the most famous spring tower called?" ”

Zhong Xian definitely didn't know, Zhou Hu was also a disturbance, obviously he hadn't been there before, he turned around and looked at it, and greeted him.

A tall sergeant immediately trotted forward.

"Mr. Gao, Mr. Zhou." The sergeant whispered.

"Xiao Ding, what is the name of the most famous Spring Mansion here?" Zhou Hu asked rudely.

The one called Xiao Ding immediately laughed: "The little one never goes to this kind of place, how do you know?" ”

"Ni Niang, Lao Tzu will kill you." Zhou Hu's eyes widened.

"Qin Hualou." Xiao Ding immediately said.

"Get out." Zhou Hu.

Hehe, Xiao Ding hurriedly slipped to the back.

Zhu Gaochu smiled knowingly, and everyone followed him to Qinhualou, Zhu Gaochu asked as he walked: "Is the curfew starting at the end of the year?" When is it over? ”

"Mr. Huigao, yes." Zhong Xiandao.

The curfew in the Ming Dynasty was around 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.

If caught on the street at this time, he will be flogged thirty to forty times.

It's past five o'clock, and they have less than two hours to go.

This period is also the most lively time in Qinhuai River, many wealthy businessmen and even officials will secretly come out to play, and then go back before the curfew, some people do not eat dinner to the Spring Building, and eat dinner together at the Spring Building, which saves more time.

Zhu Gaoxu and the three of them walked all the way over and found that many shops had closed, and only restaurants and inns would be open.

But the people in the restaurant will only go home as soon as possible after eating in a hurry.
