With a bang, Shaharu smashed the cup in front of him hard.

The envoy to the Ottoman capital, Edirne, returned to report that Mehmed I was reluctant to send troops against the Ming Dynasty and again demanded that Shaharu cede the east and west of the river (the western part of Uzbe).

When Timur defeated the Ottoman Empire and killed their emperor, Muhammad I always remembered this account, and he had long wanted to take revenge, and the two sides had constant friction in the Transoxiana region over the years.

The original history of Shaharu did not conquer the Ming Dynasty, the strength is still relatively strong, these two years is almost by the Ottoman pressed to fight, if it is not for the Ottoman country itself is also unstable, there are strong enemies around, it is estimated that it would have been to Samarkand.

In order to confront the Ming Dynasty, Shaharu bowed his head and breathed, from the fourteenth year of Hongxi to the present, more than a year, he has sent seven envoys to try to persuade Muhammad I, except for the first time, all of them were refused.

Why say except for the first time?

When Shahru's envoy went for the first time, he was still with the people of other dynasties, and at that time, everyone faced Muhammad I, discussed the pros and cons together, and advocated the strength and ambition of the Ming Dynasty.

But he doesn't want to be used as a gunman, so he is ready to wait and see, when it is critical, this will be Ming still doing business with the Ottoman Empire, there is really no reason to take the initiative to go to war, right?

As a result, after the Ming army repelled Shahru and seized Ahan Province, it did not advance westward at all, either to the east or to the south, and in consolidating the existing territory, from the fourteenth to the sixteenth year of Hongxi, the Ming army never went west for more than a year.

Muhammad I immediately felt that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to come over, Shaharu, your father was going to cut down the Ming back then, and he was half dead, and you later cut the Ming Dynasty and offended the Ming Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty is coming to beat you, it's our business?

After Muhammad I, he directly refused, and persuaded other dynasties not to fall into Shahru's dang, you see, did the Ming army have the intention of going west? When the Ming army pacifies the southeast direction, it will definitely go north to fight Shaharu to take revenge.

Don't be used as a gun.

Muhammad I disagreed, and sow discord, and the Mamluk dynasty and the Zarayil dynasty began to wait and see.

This Shaharu off.

But the Ming Kingdom really did not go west, and also sent merchant groups to various dynasties to do business and express goodwill, so in the past two years in Central and Western Asia was quite peaceful, only the Black Sheep and White Aries Dynasty were quite vigilant because they were closer to the Ming Dynasty, and they also kept in touch with Shaharu.

Shaharu knew that the Ming were consolidating the territory they had occupied, and that they were different from the previous Mongol expeditions to the west.

The Mongol expedition to the west brought destruction and killing, and then swept away.

But the Ming people want to occupy these places forever.

Therefore, the Ming people will gradually deal with each other separately, and devour Central Asia and even the whole of West Asia step by step.

The longer Akito waits, the more terrifying the next attack will become.

Just like after he went east to conquer the Ming Dynasty, it took several years for the Ming Dynasty to retaliate.

"It's a bunch of people with a lot of eyes." Shaharu said angrily: "The later the Ming people start, the more firmly our previous territory will be occupied by them, and if we continue like this, we will never be able to fight back." ”

The third son, Bei Sun, was suddenly in front of him, bowed his head and said: "Our caravan came back to report that from Jiayuguan to Kabul, thousands of miles of roads are full of immigrants from the Ming Kingdom, all year round, and the Ming people are moving people to Kabul on a large scale. ”

In the past two years, the Ming Dynasty did not fight with them, and Shaharu did not dare to take the initiative to provoke, and the two sides also carried out trade.

However, their goods can only be sold as far as Jiayuguan.

To tell the truth, since the trade with the Ming Dynasty, a large number of sugar, porcelain, and tea in the Ming Dynasty entered Samarkand from the Guannei, and now their living standards are much stronger than before.

But Shaharu can see clearly that once the Ming army is ready, it will go north at any time.

"Father, what should I do now, in addition to the Black Sheep Dynasty, the attitude of the White Sheep Dynasty is not clear, just rely on us joining forces, I'm afraid it's not the opponent of the Ming people?" The eldest son, Ulubekh.

Shaharu nodded, now that the Akito didn't take the initiative to attack them, of course they couldn't provoke a war.

It's really aggrieved to think about it, they guard against Mingren coming to attack every day, but they don't dare to take the initiative to attack Mingren.

And the Ming people are still the most martial arts existence in Central Asia, you can't be guarded, you don't know when, the Ming people will suddenly come to the city.

"Report." At this moment, there was a sudden report outside, as if he was still nervous.

After a while, someone stumbled in: "Mingren, here, Mingren is here-——" Speaking panting, his expression frightened.

"Hiss" Shaharu gasped, but he didn't expect Akito to call.

"How many soldiers and horses are coming, and where are they?" Shaharu was terrified.

"No, no, outside the city gates, the messenger of the Ming people."

“。。” Nite mother, if Shaharu will be scolded by the Han people, he will probably scold, and he almost wants to go up and kick the messenger out.

However, he also found that his subordinates now had a shadow over the Ming people, and a messenger came to be frightened like this.

"Call the envoy in." Shaharu took a deep breath, took a deep breath, and put on the appearance that Lao Tzu is very good and is not afraid of you.

A moment later, the envoy arrived at the main hall.

Shaharu almost took a mouthful of old blood at first glance.

What a clear envoy, it was actually Zabul, an Ahanite who had been conquered by him before.

When they were defeated in Jalalabad, Zabul surrendered to the Ming army with his subordinates, and also got a governor of Ahan Province to serve for a few years.

Looking at Zabul now, Shaharu is simply angry.

Zabul is dressed in the official robe of the Ming Dynasty, very exquisite, and the hair ornament is exactly the same as that of the Ming people, especially remember that he used to cover his face with a black scarf, and now Zabul is not covered, the most obvious thing is that Zabul used to be a big beard, and the Han people take the beard as the beauty, well, now Zabul has no beard to see, and it is all cleaned up.

Shahrucha thought he had become a Ming eunuch.

"Viscount Zabul, meet the honorable Sultan of Shahru." Zabul said with a smile, actually speaking a half-clear Chinese.

Shaharu's face was full of black lines, because he couldn't understand, but fortunately, there were people around him who understood, and he had been fighting against the Ming people in the past few years, and there were more people on Shaharu's side who could speak Chinese.

The former righteous son Harino stayed in the Ming Dynasty Jingshi all the year round, and he was quite fluent in Chinese as a fine role.

Zabul is now the governor of the country, but in recognition of his surrender to the Ming country with the locals, the Ming Emperor presented the complete city of Kabul, knighted him, and gave him 500 acres of fertile land, which can be used for free to the local designated shops every year, and receive 200 catties of sugar, 50 catties of tea, and 10 horses of silk, which are valid for life.

Zabul came on behalf of the Ming Dynasty this time to form an alliance with Shaharu and fight the Aries Dynasty together.

Now the closest to the Ming Dynasty is the Aries Dynasty, which occupies Western Persia.

The Aries dynasty was now at its peak, with a considerable sphere of influence, having ruled the eastern part of Turkey, central and western Persia, Azerbaijan, Amniya, and northern Ilak until 1502.

Among them, the central and western parts of Persia are bordered by the Ming Dynasty.

This is also Zhu Gaoxu's first target.

To be honest, Shaharu was self-righteous and always thought that Zhu Gaochu would retaliate and beat him, and Zhu Gaochu was not in the mood to fight north now.

The oil fields of Persia are already beckoning to him, and he has spent nearly six or seven years marching westward, to the west, to the west, and to the present, not just to see the oil fields of Persia.

Of course, Shah Ruh also has territory, but less than in Persia.

And Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to be hostile to too many dynasties at the same time, so he decided to borrow a knife to kill people and raze them.

"Bang" Shaharu heard Zabul's coming, and took the case: "You Ming people don't talk about martial arts and have no credit, how dare I cooperate with you." ”

After the translator finished speaking quickly, Zabul wondered: "When did Mingren have no credit?" Sultan, give you an example? ”

“。。” Shaharu.

Mingren doesn't talk about martial arts is a matter on the battlefield, but don't talk about credit? I don't think I've had diplomatic contact with Shaharu before.

"Emperor Ming is very trustworthy." Zabul pointed to himself: "Look at me, before the surrender, many tribesmen said that people would kill us, cross the river and tear down the bridge, in fact, I was immediately courteous, life has been getting better and better in recent years, His Royal Highness the Sultan, the Ming people said, they came to build, not to destroy like Mongolia." ”

"If you can go back to Kabul, you will see that it is now dozens of times more prosperous than before, that is, even the merchants of the black sheep, the white sheep, the Mamluks, the Zarayir and other major dynasties come to do business."

"It is now the most prosperous city in Central Asia, the richest place."

"It's construction, not destruction."

Shaharu frowned, as if there was nothing untrustworthy about Akito that happened in front of him.

But in any case, an alliance with the Ming people is not a plot with the tiger?

"Father doesn't want it, Mingren wants to use us as gunmen." The third son, Bei Husun, hurriedly said.

The eldest son, Ulugh Beg, said, "It doesn't hurt to listen to how to cooperate first, and then decide." ”

Shaharu said, you say, how do the Ming people want to form an alliance?

Zabul said, you took the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty back then, it was your fault, and the Ming Emperor was willing to reconcile-

Bei Husun wanted to say that the land was returned to us, but he still didn't say it.

The Ming State was willing to form a brotherly alliance with the Timurid Empire, with the Ming Kingdom as the brother and the Timurid Empire as the younger brother, and the two sides signed an agreement that they would never offend each other within fifty years with the current territory.

Shaharu didn't snort and continued to listen.

Bei Husun was a little unhappy, because it was said that Emperor Zhu Gaoxu was not as old as Shaharu, so he dared to call himself a brother?

But they can't beat the Mingren, and they can only swallow their anger.

On the Shaharu side, there are 100,000 taels of silver every year, or the equivalent of gold or copper.

"Bang" Bei Husun was furious, but was glared at by Shaharu and told him not to snort yet.

Shah Ruu and his father Timur two generations in Central and Western Asia, this is a common thing, the defeated side, every year to the winner, but also to give women, this is a normal thing.

He wanted to hear how many more requests the Ming people had, and how outrageous they were.

Zabul continued, Shaharu pays a tribute every year to 100 beauties, 100 craftsmen of all kinds, and 10,000 war horses.

In return, the Ming Kingdom gave Shaharu 10,000 catties of sugar, 1,000 catties of tea, 1,000 pieces of silk, and 500 pieces of ceramics every year.

Zabul said at this time: "The Ming people have calculated, and the things given by the two sides are of similar value, but the Ming Emperor wants to save face, so you call the New Year's coins and tribute." ”

These things are counted, and Shaharu as a whole loses, but it is far beyond Shaharu's expectations, and Akito seems to be eager to make peace and form an alliance with him.

If it had been him, he would have led troops to fight Samarkand a few years ago.

Bei Husun originally had a lot of opinions, but now when he heard that there were good things such as sugar, ceramics, and silk, he immediately stopped talking, and his face actually showed a look of hope.

"You go on." Shaharu's face looked much better at this time.

"The Ming people set up a trading area in the city of Ika (later Ishkahimu), where the two countries traded and exchanged ideas."

At this time, Shaharu and his sons changed their faces even more, and they were a little moved.

Before, although they could also trade with the Ming people, they needed to go thousands of miles east and take the Silk Road, and the Ming people in Ahan Province did not let them go.

It takes almost half a year to go back and forth for such a long distance, and there are only one or two transactions a year.

Now the Ming people are in the city of Ika, which is only a thousand miles away from Samarkand, and it is also the closest city to Shaharu from the Ming people.

At this distance, not only can it be traded once a month, but it can also be used in horse-drawn carts.

Because they used horse-drawn carriages to go to Shazhou and Jiayuguan before, they didn't have to go halfway, and the carriages were scrapped, and in the end they could only use a large number of horses and mules, but the goods they carried were definitely not as much as the carriages.

If you can trade a lot with the Ming people, Shaharu is still more willing, because many Ming people's goods are now quite in demand in Central Asia and West Asia.

At this time, in his heart, he was already a little inclined to alliance cooperation, but he still had to look at Mingren's strategy.

"How to alliance, how to fight?" He said in a deep voice.

If Akito only wanted him to be a gunman, he wouldn't agree.

"Let's make an appointment, you go from the north to the south, and we go from the east to the west, and attack the Aries dynasty at the same time."

"The Ming people have about 50,000 riders, and you can't at least have less than 50,000 riders."

"When attacking the Aries dynasty, the wealth plundered by both sides will be their own."

"But after the Aries dynasty is destroyed, all the territory will be given to us."

Shaharu's father and son's faces changed slightly, isn't this using us as gunmen?

"Da Ming will give you an equal reward according to the territory you have conquered."

"For example, a small town of 10,000 people, give 100,000 catties of sugar, 1,000 horses of silk--" Zabul said a lot, and the father and son didn't write it down, but it sounded like a lot.

"In addition, the plundered population may be given to Timur by adulthood, and to the men and women by men."

Shaharu's eyes lit up, he still needed to be an adult more, but he didn't expect Akito to only want women and children.

But the territory laid down belongs to the Ming people, and Shaharu is a little unhappy.

Fortunately, Zabul finally said: "When the black sheep and white sheep are defeated, the Ming army will help you fight the Ottomans together, and most of the land over there can belong to you, and the Ming people only need a few." ”

Zhu Gaoxu in the eastern part of the Turkish chess can be ceded to Shahru, and he wants the west, the north and part of the south, so as to control the access to the sea.

Ottoman refused Shahru's cooperation seven times, and kept attacking Shahru, Shaharu heard this last sentence, and finally made up his mind, negotiated peace with the Ming, and went west together to carve up Central and West Asia.

This was the most important Samarkand agreement in history, which later generations called the "Tiger and Wolf Agreement".
