Syr Darya.

To be honest, Zhu Zhanyan didn't really want to come here, if it weren't for the old man, he wouldn't even want to leave the Timurid Empire now.

It's not that he doesn't want to go north to Central Asia and Europe, but he doesn't want to go north at this time.

There are three reasons for this.

First, the Black Death.

The Black Death, as we all know, was a catastrophe in Europe in the middle of the fourteenth century, which not only swept across Europe, but also brought 25 million Europeans to their God.

This figure accounted for one-third of the total population of Europe at that time.

Many people know about this catastrophe, and they know what kind of trauma this catastrophe has left on Europe in just seven years, but few people know that Europe at this time is not just like this.

It is true that the Black Death only ravaged Europe for six years, but not that it disappeared, but that the rest of the time was not as crazy as the previous six years.

In fact, the plague has been present in Europe since 1347, when the Black Death broke out, and has been intermittent for more than 300 years.

The first six years were the period when the largest number of people died from the Black Death, and the plague did not disappear until 1666.

At this time, the northern expedition to Europe ......

In addition to the Black Death, the second reason that made Zhu Zhan Yan reluctant to enter Europe was the weather.

The Syr Darya, the last line that crossed the Timurid Empire and entered the Kazakh hills, crossed here, or should it be said that it was already the place of the Golden Horde from here.

It doesn't seem like much, just out of the Timurid Empire, and the Turan Plain is really not a place where people stay, it may be a bit too much to say that birds don't, but in fact it's really not much worse.

But in this day and age, it's really not a good place.

First, the Turan Plain is deep inland, with little drought and little rain, so it may be too much to say that birds don't poop, but in reality it's not much the same.

The second, and most contrasting, is that it is actually at the same latitude as Nuergandusi.

It's okay now, in two or three months, it's winter here, and you're still playing with eggs?

Finally, there is a third reason why Zhu Zhan Yan is reluctant to continue north: impact.

——

Suncheon Mansion, Imperial Palace, Cheongning Palace, Wenhua Palace.

"Really retreated?" Zhu Gaochi looked at the dense fold in his hand, his face full of disbelief.

"Really." Yang Shiqi lowered his head, but his tone was full of loss.

The Eastern Chagatai Khanate withdrew its troops, the whole territory contracted, and the alliance that had begun in the nineteenth year of Yongle was finally broken.

The Jianzhou Jurchens perished, Zhang Fu was the commander, and Li Bin was the general, and almost the entire land of Jianzhou was turned over.

The entire territory of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate shrank, and even the Seven Guards of Kansai could not be taken care of.

At the beginning of the alliance, there was a lonely Warat.

"Your Majesty! There's no better time to do it! ”

The sound of a voice made everyone look sideways, because it was a voice that everyone did not expect.

"Reason." Zhu Gaochi raised his head and looked at Hu Sui in front of him.

Hu Sui, the eldest son of Hu Guangzhi, is also the elder brother of Hu Sui who is now in Xiangzhou Mansion.

Hu Guang was dismissed from office and deprived of the title that year, but his son came out again, but the old man had no chance to come out when he was still alive.

Now, once a son of heaven and a courtier, as a subordinate official of the prince's mansion, Zhu Gaochi naturally wants to give a little preferential treatment, but Hu Guang has died of depression in the sixteenth year of Yongle, so this preferential treatment can only be given to Hu Guang's son.

"Your Majesty!" Here, although Hu Sui is the youngest, he is really inconspicuous in his early thirties, but he is neither humble nor arrogant.

"For His Royal Highness King Wu, most people now choose not to mention it, even if they have to mention it, they will try to mention it as much as possible, but in fact, His Royal Highness King Wu has done little for the court?"

"For example, why did the Eastern Chagatai Khanate shrink its entire territory this time? Others may not know, but I don't think that everyone here will not understand! ”

Hu Sui glanced at everyone, his eyes were full of contempt, and he did not fall behind even when facing Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and other veteran officials.

"Nowadays, the gossip in the streets and alleys has been spread, but the minister knows that this is not gossip, but the truth."

"On the day that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu set off, the minister's brother-in-law in Xiangzhou Mansion sent a message to the minister, telling the minister that he must tell His Majesty that the pattern of power in the north will definitely change greatly."

"As for why, Your Majesty, you should also know that as long as His Royal Highness King Wu leaves Xiangzhou Mansion and goes to the Timurid Empire, there will inevitably be rumors within the Eastern Chagatai Khanate!"

"The original triangular alliance, the Jianzhou Jurchen has been destroyed, and now the Eastern Chagatai Khanate has also shrunk, and only one of Warat remains."

"If you don't send troops at this time, in the next few decades, the minister is not sure if there will be a better opportunity!"

……

In the huge Wenhua Palace, there are no less than twenty officials, but no one dares to speak at this moment.

How to speak? Yang Rong didn't know, and Yang Shiqi didn't know either.

Oppose? But everything is just as Hu Sui said, now is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once missed, I don't know when I have to wait.

In the eyes of this official, Zhu Zhanyan will not settle down for a long time, and this peace is talking about his treatment of the court, not that he wants to keep his fiefdom in peace.

In their opinion, the reason why the current Zhu Zhanyan left Xiangzhou Mansion was to avoid suspicion and so that no one in the world could say anything about him.

In their opinion, Zhu Zhanyan is almost certain to rebel, and the difference is only a matter of time.

Therefore, if this opportunity is missed, then there may really not be such a good opportunity.

It's not okay to oppose it, but it's support?

Not at all!

If you support it, it is equivalent to agreeing with Zhu Zhanyan's contribution to the Ming Dynasty and everything Zhu Zhanyan has done.

The most important thing is that if the army is sent to the north now, it will definitely be fought for a period of time, at least half a year, and more than ......

There is no specific time.

Warat is still not to be underestimated, the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, Yongle destroyed the Tatar Department in eight years, in fact, there is a big element of accidents, with the previous lesson, it is difficult to destroy Warat.

Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, and not only the Han people understand this truth, but the Warat people also understand, and if they fight again, they will definitely not give the Ming a chance to be completely annihilated.

When the time comes, not to mention whether it will go well or not, just say that the Ming Dynasty will win in the end and destroy Warat, then there will definitely be losses.

At that time, if Zhu Zhan Yan rebelled, Zhu Zhan Yan's methods, the cruelty of his soldiers, and Zhu Zhan Yan's prestige in the Yunnan-Guichuan area ......

At that time, I am afraid that the Fengtian Jingjing incident will be staged again.
