Will Shahru, Khalil and the Ottomans abandon their old grievances and choose to unite?

Zhu Zhanyan has considered this issue, and he has considered it from the beginning, and the final conclusion is positive.

There is a good saying: there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

At the moment, Zhu Zhan is their common enemy, just like the Warring States period in the Central Plains, everyone fights each other, but when the Qin State goes out to block the Xiongnu, everyone will make way for the Qin State.

For Shaharu and others, Zhu Zhan Yan was the invading Xiongnu.

It's just that although he knows, Zhu Zhanyan doesn't have any good solutions, and he doesn't care very much.

There is no good way to do it because this kind of thing can almost be said to be unstoppable, he can bring people into Mashhad, or even further into Qazvin, to block Shahru and the other two parties, but this is only temporary.

If they really wanted to unite, Shaharu and the Ottomans could have made a detour to the Timurid Empire from the Kipchak Khanate to the north.

But the union is the union, and the union of three people can beat a strong man, but if it is the union of three mice, it will still be trampled to death by the strong man.

Because of the harvest and the snowstorm, the number of people in the Timurid Empire, which had been more than 25 million, was now reduced to less than 10 million, and the number of young and strong people was even smaller.

It is difficult to count now, but Zhu Zhanyan estimates that the number of young and strong people will not exceed one-third.

In addition, coupled with the fact that the Timurid Empire's food was also tight, and the disaster relief work was repeatedly contracted, which made the few people extremely dissatisfied with the rulers of the Timurid Empire.

On the contrary, Zhu Zhan, who had driven the victims away from Barihe, had established an excellent prestige in the minds of the people of the Timurid Empire.

This is actually very easy to understand, the relationship between the rulers of the Timurid Empire and the people is like a company, the people pay taxes to the ruler, just like the employees work for the company, and when there is a disaster, the ruler provides disaster relief, just like the company pays the employees salaries.

All this is a matter of course, but Zhu Zhan's disaster relief is like a person he doesn't know before, and he gave you a sum of money when you were desperate, although it is not much, but it is enough to ensure that you live.

The gap is highlighted here.

Therefore, even if it is united, Zhu Zhanyan is not afraid.

However, he was destined not to see such an ending.

After Zheng He's arrival in Grand Briz, his first victory was the capture of Grand Briz, and the second victory was the interception of Ottoman envoys.

As for Khalil?

When Timur died of illness, he and Shahru were divided from each other, he was in the west, and Shahru was in the east.

If Zheng He had gone a little further west, he would have reached the Ija of Haril, and Shaharu, who felt that a great calamity was coming, would have retreated back to Asia Minor.

After the Ottoman envoys were intercepted and killed, the ruler Murad also learned the news from the mouths of the exiles, and immediately packed up his things and prepared to flee.

At this point, something unexpected happened to Zhu Zhanyan.

The Battle of Constantinople, broke out in advance.

When Zhu Zhanyan received the news, he was stunned, he did not expect that his actions would lead to the acceleration of the historical process, let alone that it would make history flourish, known as the most powerful empire in the world in the fifteenth century, and the Ottoman Empire, which was not one of them, changed its strong fate and entered extinction.

Standing on the wall of Mashhad, Zhu Zhanyan looked at the black desert in the north, his face full of solemnity.

Historically, the famous fortress of Constantinople took place thirty years later, in the middle of the fifteenth century.

At that time, the Ottoman Empire had already defeated the Timurid Empire, a powerful enemy, and completed the unification of Central Asia, hence the Battle of Constantinople.

The historical Ottoman Empire struggled to face Constantinople, and finally took Constantinople by bribing merchants into the Golden Horn and attacking Constantinople by land and water.

But now......

The Ottoman Empire, which had just experienced a catastrophe of harvest failure, had a plummeting population, and the morale of the army was quite low, so it attacked Constantinople......

Yes, the Byzantine Empire also introduced potatoes, but much later than the Ottoman and Timurid Empires.

In addition, Europe during the Xiaoice period was also colder, and two crops of grain were cultivated a year, which delayed the outbreak of late phytophthomycosis in potatoes.

To sum it up: in the historical Battle of Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire was superior to the Byzantine Empire, but now it is the opposite.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhan Yan seemed to have foreseen what the outcome of the Battle of Constantinople that he had facilitated would be, and at the same time he was very regretful.

As a very influential empire that was also claimed to be invincible from the late fifteenth century to the sixteenth century, Zhu Zhanqi wanted to destroy the Ottoman Empire with his own hands, but now ......

"His Royal Highness ...... the Prince"

Zhu Sanfeng climbed the city wall with a letter in his hand.

"Huh? Jane laughed? Zhu Zhanyan glanced at Zhu Sanfeng, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the letter in Zhu Sanfeng's hand.

"Hmm."

"Say it, I'm not going to look at it."

"Actually, just one thing, Jian Xiao has gathered a large number of victims in Qazvin, because he did not get your orders before leaving, so he wants to ask you whether these refugees are disposed of as they did in Barihe, or if you have other arrangements."

"Let him bring it back to me." The corners of Zhu Zhanyan's mouth curled.

"Okay." Zhu Sanfeng nodded in response, and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Zhu Zhanyan.

"Wait a minute." Zhu Zhanyan's eyes narrowed.

"You ask Jian Xiao to tell Zheng He, and ask him to lead people to reinforce the line from Ba to Qazvin, and at the same time let Jian Xiao come back and prepare to march towards Samarkand."

"Or, Jane Xiao may not come, but Kun Tashi will come back."

"Are you planning to ......" Zhu Sanfeng was stunned when he heard this, but he was immediately overwhelmed by ecstasy.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhanyan nodded.

"Zheng He's appearance was something I didn't expect, he blocked the connection between Shahru and Haril and the Ottoman Empire, which also created excellent conditions for us."

"Remember to tell Jian Xiao that you must treat those refugees well along the way, they are an important combat force for our attack on Samarkand."

"Yes!"

……

Using slave soldiers, this is a method that Zhu Zhanyan has never thought of and has never used, whether it is the Wa Kingdom, Siam or the Delhi Sultan, he has never used slave soldiers before.

There are two reasons: one is that Zhu Zhanyan feels that he doesn't need it, because no matter how difficult the enemy is, he can't be tough in the face of white phosphor.

The second reason is that Zhu Zhanyan does not trust slave soldiers.

But this time, Zhu Zhanyan felt that he could use it.

Let these slaves ...... Oh no, it should be said that it is refugees, let them fight against their own rulers, and even with their relatives, Zhu Zhanyan thinks it is good.

This is the fate of a nation that has done so much evil.

In comparison, the bones buried in the Void were too cheap for them.
