Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Aftermath of the Hero

In fact, the prophet *** said a long time ago that after him, there would be no other prophet.

Presumably to avoid. Just like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, you and a heavenly father go up to me at every turn, and I go down to earth as a god. Engage in political struggles with each other. Now what Timur did was clearly transgression.

But Timur didn't care.

During this time, Timur was torn between life and death. Historically, Timur's lifespan came to an end in these years.

Between life and death, Timur was always thinking about how to deal with King Yan.

After several duels with King Yan, Timur felt that he had made some mistakes in many things, but if he turned back time and asked him to do it all over again, he was unlikely to do better.

No, Timur didn't do it well enough. It's that the difference in strength is too great.

No matter how many chips Timur pressed, it was impossible to break through King Yan's fire array head-on. He even made a lot of compromises to bring in *** power. But the fanaticism of these believers is not comparable to the heat of gunpowder.

Timur didn't know what to do.

But now the endgame, Timur will also go down. Otherwise, his life, the life of his family, would be gone.

Timur woke up from life and death, saw the current situation, and confirmed his own thoughts.

He can't let go, and as soon as he lets go, everything doesn't exist.

Therefore, he can only give confidence to the people below in the name of ***.

Timur looked at the people around him and said, "*** Tell me that the reason why the Ming people are so powerful is because there are evil spirits behind them. That's why he came to tell me to fight firmly against the Ming people and wage holy war."

Timur didn't want to mention this thing either, if he could.

Religion is theocracy. It has a strong influence in politics. And Timur, as a king, naturally had a contradiction between kingship and divine power.

Recall that Timur did many things, such as establishing the largest seminary at that time and studying the Qur'an. It's hard to say it's pious, or if you want to hold the right to speak in your own hands.

But now, Timur had no choice.

He must pull the war between him and the king of Yan to the war with the king of Yan in the Arab world.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to breathe, and without that, he would not have been able to receive all-round support from all over the world.

Of course, he still knows a little about China and Daming.

After all, the Mongols are not the same as the Han Chinese.

The Mongols are nouveau riche, and their cultural background is very shallow, almost none.

Therefore, the Mongols, who followed the rise of Genghis Khan, were easily confused by various religions. It's not just *** teaching. And Christianity. The host kings who were pacified by Kublai Khan were all Christians.

Timur's belief in *** religion was even an important condition for his rise. But it is very likely that King Yan will not choose this way.

Of course, Timur didn't care how to choose King Yan, what he wanted first was to limit King Yan's options. Veto the possibility of King Yan converting to the *** religion.

That is to wage jihad.

Expelled the Akito.

It's just that in this way, Timur will always bow his head in the face of theocracy in the future. Although he did not want to do so, Timur had no choice.

As soon as these words came out, the generals below shouted one after another, holy war, holy war.

Timur immediately gave an order to convey this order to all localities and urge them to wage holy war. Every *** citizen has to get involved.

So someone below asked, "Shall we attack at once?"

Timur shook his head and said, "We must fight the Ming to the end. But not now, we fought against the Ming people in the previous war, and suffered heavy losses. Promise me a piece of the promised land for us to recuperate and fight against the Ming people in the future."

"This Promised Land is in the southeast."

The place that Timur spoke of was India.

To the south of Afghanistan is Pakistan, and Pakistan, originally

It is also part of India.

There is one way from Central Asia to India, and that is the Khyber Pass. The Indian region is geographically relatively closed. There are high mountains in the north. It is difficult to enter, but this is the only pass, but it is easy to pass.

What's even more bizarre is that India has been conquered several times by enemies from the northwest, and the Indians don't seem to have thought of building a checkpoint or a great wall to plug the gap.

And this mountain pass was under the control of the original Timurid Empire.

The founder of the Mughal Empire was the grandson of Timur. It was after the death of Timur that the Timurid empire fell apart. Caught in a civil war, the Mughals led their subordinates and conquered India through this mountain pass.

Now, Timur has made the same decision.

Actually, Timur came to India. Even south of the pass, he had some vassals. The reason why he did not continue south and conquer India. It's not that Timur didn't want to.

It's that the Timurid Empire was too big.

It is located in Central Asia, and even part of it goes to Europe. There are enemies on all sides. It made it difficult for Timur to concentrate on forces in one place, and the Indian subcontinent was too large.

If Timur wanted to conquer India, he had to focus on this. As for sending other generals to conquer. Over time, these armies will become the personal soldiers of this general. This is very politically risky.

Naturally, Timur would not have done this.

And, none of this is a problem anymore.

Timur will not attack the king of Yan. It's okay to say he's scared. Anyway, Timur was sure that he could not defeat the king of Yan, and it was impossible to return to the Asian capital he had established.

Naturally, he had to look for a new way out.

He launched the holy war, and naturally he was sincere.

On the one hand, he used holy war to contain King Yan's hands and feet and buy him a certain amount of time. Even if India is easy to fight, it is not so easy to fight, and it will have to be fought for several years.

On the other hand, this is what Timur wanted to counterattack.

Yes, and now the situation is that Timur admits defeat. But his admission of defeat does not mean that he has accepted defeat and lost his fighting spirit.

Timur would have been knocked down if it had been so easy.

He was not Timur anymore.

Jihad was a bargaining chip for him to use India's manpower and material resources to connect with the Arab world after his conquest of India. It is also a great weapon for him to counterattack King Yan.

The only thing that worried Timur was that he already felt a palpable sense of weakness. He didn't know how long he had to live.

It may not be time for him to prepare for a counterattack on King Yan and return to his Asian capital.

So, he needed time to do one thing, and that was to identify his heir.

After his death, the Timurid Empire was kept intact. That's all that matters.

Before that, Timur did not need a crown prince. But now, he seems to be able to hear the knock of death, and he really needs a prince.

Timur, in a desperate situation, made another great decision.

Inspired by Timur's spirit, he brought more than 10,000 soldiers under his command over the mountain pass and into India. Summoning the local old troops, they immediately marched eastward and broke the army of tens of thousands of local Indian princes. Reoccupied Delhi.

Immediately divided the army into four strategies, but in a year or two, with the help of local manpower and material resources, a powerful country was established, which naturally could not be compared with the original Timurid Empire.

After all, the *** religion entered the Indian region very early. It's been hundreds of years. The last time Timur came was to defeat the Delhi Sultanate, but after the victory, he had other wars, so he had to withdraw.

It's just that here in India a couple of bridgeheads remained.

Today, Timur has only one or two thousand men. And after the Delhi Sultanate changed a royal family. It also recovered some vitality, far surpassing Timur's ministry in numbers.

But it still did the result of the last battle.

The only remaining members of Timur were all die-hard Timur loyalists. And the news of Timur's defeat was not yet available at this time

There was a message from the north. Timur took advantage of this time to bluff. Let the Delhi Sultanate think that there is a large army behind, and the morale of the army will not be able to collapse.

Then he was defeated by Timur.

It's just that the problem is that Timur quickly recovered his vitality with India's manpower and material resources. All the people he brought were made Indian nobles. A lot of Indian soldiers were drafted.

But where can the Indian soldiers compare with Timur's original soldiers?

Just like in the Battle of Yiling, the generals Liu Bei lost were all the elites of the Quartet who had been entangled in decades, not owned by a state. And Timur lost the generals in the hands of King Yan, although he was beaten badly by King Yan. But compared to the Indian soldiers, the same is true.

India's local military resources are very poor.

It seems that whoever comes to India will be assimilated by the Indians. I become unable to fight.

The Delhi Sultanate was also originally a Turkic Arab from the direction of Afghanistan. Now, he was defeated by Timur cutting vegetables and melons. But Timur searched and found out. These people are already the most capable people in India.

As a result, Timur did not know how to revive the army, regain his homeland, and return to his old capital.

With these people in his hands to defeat King Yan, he didn't dare to think about it.

It is estimated that fighting back is a dream that Timur will never achieve in his last career.

Of course, that's for later.

Timur, in order to prevent King Yan from knowing that he was in India, kept blocking the northwest mountain pass. It's just that he doesn't know that India is a closed environment on land, but it is very open to the sea.

The news could not be transmitted from the northwest mountain pass, but it could be transmitted from India to the Ming Dynasty, and then from the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions, and then from the Western Regions to the ears of King Yan.

So, King Yan still knew about the existence of Timur from the Ming Dynasty.

But that's a few years later. King Yan has also fought with the local *** sect many times, and those who see blood do not see blood, which can be regarded as barely running in with each other. Know each other's thoughts.

This is the opportunity to put your mind elsewhere.

For example, to track down Timur's whereabouts and kill Timur completely.
