Chapter 204: The Next Target

In fact, the Timurid Empire is quite interesting.

The Timurid Empire was very strong, which even Zhu Zhan had to admit.

At its peak, the Timurid Empire conquered Persia and Afghanistan, then conquered Khorezm, and then moved south, attacking Delhi, the capital of the Delhi Sultan, and slaughtering more than 100,000 prisoners of war in Delhi.

At that time, the Timurid Empire was really in full swing, and the Marumuk Dynasty, which had defeated the Mongol Western Expedition, refused to form an alliance with the Timurid Empire, and as a result, the famous city of Damascus was lost and burned clean.

Later, the Timurid Empire also faced the Ottoman Empire, which was on the rise, and defeated the Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Ankara, not to mention the capture of the Ottoman king.

Maybe Bao Zong didn't know about it, and if he knew about it, he would definitely sigh that I was not alone.

But that was the end of the strength of the Timurid Empire.

In 1404, that is, in the second year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, Timur intended to wave his army to the east to conquer the Ming Dynasty, but died of illness the following year, and he did not even reach the door of the Ming Dynasty.

When Timur was reincarnated, he divided the territory of the Timurid Empire among his descendants, and appointed his eldest grandson, Pi Ma Heima, as the prince.

Sound familiar? Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also divided the land to his son, and also established his "eldest grandson" Zhu Yunwen as the prince.

Don't worry, this is just the beginning.

Immediately after Timur's death, his sons and grandsons began a struggle for the throne, and Pirma Heima led an army against his cousin, Timur's other grandson, Khalil, only to be defeated and killed by his men.

Then, Timur's fourth son, Shahru, stood on his own feet in the name of avenging Pir Ma Hema, which eventually led to the formation of a situation in which the Timurid Empire was juxtaposed.

Does it sound familiar again? is also the eldest grandson and the fourth son, and the story between Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty is slightly different, but there are similarities.

However, this is also the last period of the Timurid Empire, and the later Timurid Empire has been declining, especially after the death of Timur's fourth son Shahru, the Timurid Empire was completely chaotic.

The history of the subsequent Timurid Empire was more chaotic, with the Bukhara Khanate and the Rosean Timurid Dynasty, but in the end the most orthodox branch entered the White Elephant and established the Mughal Empire.

Zhu Zhanyan didn't care much about this, because these were all things that happened in the early 16th century, that is, after 1500, and he couldn't move even if he didn't burp at that time.

Besides, it is difficult to say whether the current Timurid Empire can hold out until that time, because it is impossible for Zhu Zhan to give up here.

Why did Zhu Zhanyan set a potato plan that threatened the whole of Central Asia and even Europe?

It's a bit funny to say, because he doesn't know much about the group of peptide people.

His knowledge of the group was limited to the beginning of the First World War and the twenty-first century, and he did not know much about the Youpeptide people before that, only that this people were like leeches.

They don't have a sense of belonging, and what they are most accustomed to and like to do is to find a country or dynasty and join it.

After that, the process is the same: suck the blood of the dynasty to strengthen themselves, and then the dynasty dies, and they change to another dynasty and continue to suck blood, and so on.

As for the specifics, Zhu Zhan only knew that they had moved to the lower reaches of the Nile River due to famine, and later because of the Egyptian riots, their status dropped sharply and they became slaves of the Egyptians.

They then fled Egypt and settled in the area of Afuhan, where they established a dynasty, but this dynasty was destroyed and they were taken into slavery in Babylon.

Then, after the Persian Empire destroyed the Babylonian Empire, they returned to their homeland and rebuilt the Temple, which was then destroyed by the Roman Empire and eventually scattered throughout Central Asia and Europe.

That's why Zhu Zhanyan directly set such a big plan for Central Asia and Europe, because he happened to think of this method, plus the peptide people were scattered in these two places.

It's just such a coincidence.

However, although the plan has been decided, Zhu Zhanyan does not intend to wait for the implementation, promotion and harvest of this plan, but to start from many aspects.

For example, the current Ming Dynasty is very short of people.

"So, the losses of your caravan this time are quite serious?"

Yunnan, Wu Wangfu.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Li Chengliang and the others and frowned.

To be honest, he doesn't have a good opinion of these businessmen, or he should say that he doesn't have a good opinion of the group of businessmen.

Now listening to the complaints of Li Chengliang and others, his first reaction is not the pity that normal people have, no matter how bad it is, it is okay to doubt it, after all, it is a matter linked to interests.

But now, his first reaction was nausea.

He was very clear about what Li Chengliang and the others had done before, after all, he had focused on investigating these businessmen for his son before.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, please rest assured!"

Li Chengliang and the others saw that Zhu Gaoxu's expression was wrong, and they also knew that their pretending to be pitiful had the opposite effect, and immediately began to redeem it.

"The few of us have been in business for a long time, and we still have these family backgrounds, so we will still complete the tasks assigned to us by His Royal Highness the Prince, because we have prepared the relevant countermeasures."

"Well, it's good to have a way." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and the expression on his face softened a lot.

"But there is one thing, you may have more people this time, because now you need to send things to the capital."

After a few years of planning, the jade should also be on the right track, and the jade pendant that Zhu Zhanyan gave to Xia Yuanji before was a piece of jadeite, in order to be able to spread it in Yingtian.

Previously, jadeite was sold in Yingtian, and although the response was good, it did not meet Zhu Zhanyan's expectations, so he planned to ask officials to help "bring the goods".

"Ying Tian? No problem! ”

Hearing that it was in the territory of Daming, Li Chengliang and the others agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, you have done so much for Zhan Yan, and it's time for you to get some benefits."

Zhu Gaoxu said as he took a piece of paper from the side, which was covered with his big seal.

"Zhan Yan told me before that you have already decided on the matter of jadeite, you take this, and your income will be here in the future."

There is no good thing in this world that you want horses to run around and don't give them grazing, so although Zhu Gaoxu doesn't like businessmen, he won't do a hammer deal.

My own family will have to operate in Yunnan for a long time, and this time is the time to buy horse bones, and I can't go to the road.
