The first request is nothing, the gems, to put it bluntly, are for money in the end, and they don't pay for nothing.

The life of the royal family was extravagant, and almost every member of the royal family, especially men, consumed a lot of money when they were buried.

There is nothing unreasonable about the transaction, not to mention that they are begging Zhu Zhanyan to trade.

But the second requirement is a bit excessive.

As long as it was in the feudal dynasty, young men were very sought-after, whether it was for them to become ordinary people for farming, or as slaves to do coolies and sell, young men were the most sought-after.

Don't say that beautiful women are valuable, if you really want to talk about it, there are only a handful of so-called beautiful people selected among female slaves, and although the price is high, the volume is very low.

Although the price of young men is far inferior to that of the top female slaves, the quantity is so great that there is no way to compare it.

The number of people has doubled, the price has been halved, and more than sixty percent of them are young and strong men every time, which is already excessive, but Zhu Zhanyan also asked for the number of transactions to be doubled.

This is no longer a deal, this is a blatant wolf ambition!

White slaves don't come out of nowhere, they have to go out and catch them, and they have to go through war!

War is a costly, food-consuming and cost-effective affair for any dynasty, and in addition to ensuring that the captives are not too seriously injured, otherwise it will lose its value.

The doubling of the number and number of times was enough to put the Timurid Empire under tremendous pressure on the matter of money and food, plus halving the price......

"No problem!"

But even so, Ulugh Beg gritted his teeth and agreed.

In fact, his idea is very simple, there are only two.

The first is that they are not qualified to negotiate conditions with Zhu Zhanyan at present, because once the conditions are negotiated, this transaction will definitely collapse!

This deal was dispensable for Zhu Zhan Yan, because even if he didn't agree, Zhu Zhan Yan could go to Haril and the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottomans might not have agreed, but Ulugh Beg knew that his cousin, Khalil, would not hesitate to agree.

As for the second reason, that is, no matter what the result is, he will agree to come down now, as for the future......

We'll talk about it later!

The other Ulugh Begs didn't know, but he knew that as long as his father had amassed enough strength, he would immediately attack Khalil and the Ottoman Empire.

At that point, who cares what bullshit is not traded?

To put it bluntly, in terms of potato production, the white slave trade will last for three or five years.

After all, the Timurid Empire was an empire that once unified most of Central Asia, even if it was now divided into two forces, even after years of civil war, even if it was eyed by the Ottoman Empire.

But they can still afford this consumption.

"Good." Regarding Ulugh's attitude, Zhu Zhanyan expressed his satisfaction.

"Well, the third requirement ......"

Zhu Zhan Yan paused and looked at Ulugh Beg with a smile.

Ulughgh's heart chuckled.

"I asked you to hand over a thousand people to us to deal with the matter of embarrassment, humiliation, and murder of my Ming people before, but you played tricks with me, looking for ordinary people and slaves, and they were all the kind who didn't understand Chinese."

"Now, even if you sincerely admit your mistakes, this matter cannot be revealed, otherwise the majesty of my Ming Dynasty will be gone."

"So, this time, you have to show sincerity and send another batch of people."

"Again, the culprit is best, but if it really can't be traced, then find someone who can make our people feel that we can let go of this hatred, and this number is ......"

Zhu Zhanyan looked at Ulugh Beg with a smile on his face, stretched out a finger, and opened his lips slightly: "Ten thousand." ”

"What!?"

Although Ulugh Beg had already guessed that Zhu Zhanyan would be excessive, he didn't expect it to be so excessive, so that he couldn't hold back for a moment and exclaimed.

"Your Royal Highness, this ......"

A little resentment rose in the bottom of his heart, and he just wanted to open his mouth to theorize with Zhu Zhanyan, but was interrupted by Zhu Zhanyan waving his hand.

"Prince Ulugh Beg, when doing business, you pay attention to credibility."

"You didn't keep your credibility before, and the reason why we chose to trade with you from now on is because you have a more correct attitude of admitting your mistakes, so let you, the prince, come and talk to me in person."

"However, no matter how sincere you are, it is a fact that you have not kept your credibility before."

"Now, trading with you represents a risk, before I only needed a thousand people, you dared to exchange them all for civilians and slaves, this time I want 10,000 people, I don't dare to guarantee that you will not send me a bunch of slaves again."

"This is just to ensure our own interests, and if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself."

"What could have been solved in one transaction, it was your dishonesty that led to the second transaction now."

"You know, if it weren't for my soft-heartedness, you wouldn't even have a chance."

……

The resentment in Ulughgh's heart vanished in an instant.

Unless you are strong enough to crush everyone, you will pay the price if you do something wrong, this is the eternal rule.

It's just that this price was too heavy for the Timurid Empire.

However, everything is just as Zhu Zhanyan said, if it weren't for their dishonesty, how could there be today's things?

No, there may be, but it depends on Zhu Zhanyan's mood.

"Good ......" When Ulugh Beg said this, Zhu Zhanyan could hear his back molars making a screeching sound.

It can be seen that this price is large enough for them.

The loss at the practical level may not be much, but 10,000 people must be handed over at a time, and a considerable part of them must be people whose identities can satisfy Zhu Zhanyan, which will do great harm to the Shaharu line at the ruling level.

"That's good." Zhu Zhanyan nodded very satisfied, then stood aside with pretense of affection, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"Prince Ulugh Beg came suddenly, and I couldn't make anyone prepare, here is the lunch that the next person has just prepared, I just don't know if Prince Ulugh Beg will dislike it."

"Where is the word of His Royal Highness...... Ulubo forced a smile and said.

"How could Ulugh Beg dislike it? It's just that Your Highness also knows that whether it is the doubling of the number of slaves, or the 10,000 people required by His Royal Highness, it is not a small number. ”

"It's going to take a long time to prepare, so I don't think Ulugh Brook will have this blessing......"

"I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't mind."

"Where." Zhu Zhanyan also stood up straight, smiled and patted Ulube's shoulder.

"Then, I won't force Prince Ulugh Beg, the prince attaches so much importance to the cooperation between us, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I mind?"

In the silence, Zhu Zhan Yan watched as Ulugh Bo bowed, and then watched him board the ship, ready to return the way he came.

All of this, from the beginning to the end, didn't even use the time of a stick of incense.

Ulugh Beg came all the way from the Timurid Empire, and he didn't even get a day trip, almost landing on the front foot, and leaving on the back foot.

Zhu Zhanyan stood on the shore with a smile, seemingly watching Ulugh Beg leave, but in fact he was filtering the news in his mind.

It seems that there has been no news from the Delhi Sultan side for some time.

Under pressure, there will be a rebound.

No matter how weak the Timurid Empire may be now, it was, and not so long ago, it was a top power.

Now, to suffer such humiliation before the decline of habitual status, the backlash under such pressure will be quite violent.

However, Zhu Zhanyan didn't care.

Not only did he not care, but he even felt that the sooner this rebound came, the better.

——

The rebound under heavy pressure was not limited to the Timurid Empire, but also appeared in the steppe when the imperial court was constantly suppressing Warat under the banner of Zhu Zhan.

Although the suspicion of attacking the Ming officials was placed on Tariba, Warat still did not find enough evidence after all, nor did he find Tariba himself.

Seeing that Da Ming was getting more and more excessive, Wara finally couldn't sit still.

No one wants to sit still, and neither does Warat.

Warat, Hulan suddenly hypothermia.

Today, a special person has come here, and this person has brought a special person.

"What do you want?"

There were only three people in the empty room, Mahamu looked at the two people in front of him with a solemn face and said.

No, it should not be said that it is two people, because although there are two people in front of Mahamu, they are a living person and a dead person.

"My master said, this is our stepping stone, and it is a sincerity for you."

The living man in front of Mahamu had a stiff face and seemed to have no emotion, as if he were a living dead.

"All my master wants is your help to put my master on the throne."

"Khan?" Mahamu's eyes narrowed.

"That's right." The expressions of the living dead remained unchanged.

"You should also be clear about the situation on our side, now that there is internal chaos, my master has a good chance."

"Now, although the situation in Warat is very bad, as long as this person is there, then Nanming can't say anything, even if they have the intention to make trouble, after getting this person, they can only stop there."

"When the time comes, as long as you help, my master will have a great chance of sitting on the sweat seat."

"What about you? What can you bring me? "Mahamu obviously doesn't want to be satisfied, but wants to plan bigger.

"The benefits are twofold." The living dead still had a stiff expression.

"First, our previous generation and the previous generation of Great Khans are actively fighting against Warat, as long as the master of my family sits on the throne of Khan, he is willing to form a friendly neighbor with Warat for generations, and will never invade."

"Second, as long as my master sits on the throne and gives my master a few years to stabilize internal affairs, then my master will help you."

"With the current strength of Nanming, it is wishful thinking to say that you want to destroy Nanming, but as long as we both work together, it is still possible to drive Nanming out of the grassland."

"Sounds good...... Mahmud's eyes narrowed, and from the tone of his voice he seemed to be very moved, but in fact he was not in a hurry.

The person in front of him is just a dead man, and there is no way to negotiate conditions with the person in front of him, so he can only listen to him tell how much sincerity the other party has.

A dead man has no emotion, let alone the right to make decisions.

"My master said, it doesn't matter if Your Excellency doesn't agree, but it's hard to say how far Nanming can develop at that time."

"Compared with you, our side has been friendly with Nanming since the twenty-fourth year of Nanming Hongwu, and our main goal is in the west, even if Nanming expands, it will not have much impact on us."

"But what your result will be, my master can't guarantee."

"Sounds like I have no reason to refuse......" Mahamu took a deep breath.

This man's last few words really touched him, because this man was right, and the things they were facing were different.

They have to face the Ming Dynasty, but the other party doesn't need to.

For the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, Warat must be faced, but since the other party parted ways with his own line, the main target has been in the west.

As for the Ming ...... It is naturally best to be able to solve it, but if it cannot be solved, it will not have much impact on the other party.

"What about Zhu Zhanyan? How are you going to fix it? Eventually, Mahmu decided to say yes.

There are not many options for them to choose from, because they have to face the Ming Dynasty, which is the most important and unavoidable problem.

"My master said that you don't need to care too much about Zhu Zhanyan."

There was no emotional fluctuation about the deal being done.

"Zhu Zhanyan is a very good person and very decisive, he is a talent that has not necessarily appeared in the Central Plains for thousands of years, but no matter how outstanding a talent is, it must be based on a solid foundation."

"Since the eighth year of Yongle in the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Southern Ming Dynasty first conquered the grassland in the north, then fought in the south, and entered the Wa Kingdom in the east, even if the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was strong, it was impossible not to lose anything."

"According to the news received by my master, the losses of the Ming army in these years are at least about 50,000."

"After years of campaigning, it is true that Daming did not have much loss, but it is absolutely impossible not to have the slightest impact, and Zhu Zhanqi is now in Yunnan, and the main troops are people from Yunnan, and they may not be able to adapt to the climate of the grassland."

"For Zhu Zhanyan, my master believes that as long as we both work together, there is no possibility of victory."

"After all, it is impossible for Nanming to fight with us to the point of life and death, they attach the most importance to inheritance, and they must leave the most basic inheritance."

"At that time, we should be able to drive Nanming out of the grassland, or even seize the Hetao, turning Nanming into another Zhao Song."

"Good!" At this point, Mahamu did not hesitate any longer.

"I accepted your master's welcome gift! As a matter of sincerity, I will send 30,000 soldiers in the spring of next year to assist your master in the sweat position! ”
