Chapter 675: Advancing into Persia
It was not until the Ming army and the Mongol army completely controlled the city defense of Yili that Zhu Di rode into the city gate on horseback. In this regard, the trembling black fire man did not dare to stop it at all, his heart had already been completely defeated by the Timurid Empire, and now in the face of the Ming army that could fight with Timur's army, he naturally could not raise the will to resist at all.
Timur wanted to put himself to death, but at least, the Ming army had no reason to kill his own Great Khan.
Zhu Di rode on a horse to the side of the Great Khan, and saw that the black fireman described it as withered and had deep eye sockets. Although the body is also burly, it is groveling and extremely humble. Zhu Di couldn't help but feel a little disdainful, this fang took advantage of Timur's entanglement with Tokhtamysh to raise an army angrily, after some twists and turns, he didn't get an inch of land, and the anti-sect Timur was killed under his own city, and it is really difficult to raise respect for the lord of such a nest.
didn't bother to do anything superficial with him, Zhu Di looked directly at the Great Khan of the Golden Family on the horse: "My Great Tomorrow soldiers have come from afar to work hard, and I ask the Great Khan to allocate food and salary for the use of this king's labor army." ”
"This ......," the black fire-man suddenly looked embarrassed. His Royal Highness the Honorable King Yan, the poverty in the Little Khanate and the war are really ......"
"One country, it's not like you can't even get enough food for tens of thousands of people, right?" Zhu Di snorted coldly. "Do you have the spare strength to raise food and wages for Timur, but you do not have the spare strength to save you and your benefactors in distress?"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the black child fire man suddenly changed, and his whole body trembled with fear. Yao Guangxiao had already investigated the political relations on this one-third of an acre, and how could he hide Zhu Di's promise to assist Timur in attacking the Ming Dynasty?
In the past, Timur attacked Yili Li, and the black son of fire relied on this promise, plus married his daughter to Timur, which was exchanged for Timur's opening of the Li Khanate's network to Yili.
Now, the promise to the Timurid Empire in the past has been known by the Lord Daming, how can the black child fire not sweat?
He was almost scared and sat down on the ground...... How much of a sin is it to conspire to find out? The prestige of the Ming Dynasty is also strong, and how to treat the small and medium-sized countries as ......
I'm afraid that as long as he refuses a little more, this King of Yan will directly use this matter as Yili to convict Li, and directly raze Yili to level the country......
The situation is stronger than people, and the black sons can only raise food and grass for the Ming army. With Yili supplying grain and grass, Zhu Di can be regarded as relieved first. He couldn't bear to stay with this soft khan for long, and after leaving a few hundred soldiers to wait to receive food and grass, he led the army back to the military camp outside the city. As soon as Fang returned to the camp, he summoned the generals and began to arrange the next step of the westward expedition.
"Monk, this is also the force to make the country or you bother, this place is our way back to the Ming Dynasty, the black fire is a soft persimmon, if Timur goes and returns, maybe he will be a wall grass."
"This is also a force to take the country into our own hands."
"Amitabha." Yao Guangxiao bowed his head slightly. "Your Highness, rest assured, the situation in this country is much simpler than that of the Timurid Empire."
"Its national conditions are similar to those of the Khan Tent in Northern Xinjiang, the people are mostly nomadic, and the standing army only has more than 10,000 Khan kings in the city.
Zhu Di nodded, this also made the Li Khanate monarch weak, and there was no need to waste too much thought, and the biggest problem after that was how to face the powerful Timurid Empire.
After a confrontation with the Timurid Empire, Zhu Di's jealousy of the Timurid Empire can be said to be increasing day by day. He did not think that Tokhtamysh, who would take revenge, would be able to defeat the Timurid Empire. As long as the Timurid Empire defeated the Golden Horde, it was bound to launch a frantic counterattack against them.
"Do you think we should stand still here first and wait for the attack, or should we also take advantage of the entanglement between Timur and the Golden Horde, and also go to kill him?" Zhu Di asked.
"Needless to say? Now that there is a supply of grain and grass, it is natural to continue to move westward. "Fei Judao." Take advantage of his illness and take his life. If you don't go now, don't you still wait for him to free his hands? ”
"His Royal Highness King Yan, the villain thinks it is impossible to ......" The one who spoke was Haohai Dayu, the general of the Xuanluo Department. He stroked his beard, looking a little undecided. "The river is not as good as the east, and most people here don't know the greatness of the Ming Dynasty, and they don't even understand the language. It takes a lot of energy and time to rule them. ”
"Not even the Great Khan of the Black Flame has succeeded in seizing the lands in the River, let alone us...... Even if we lay down a large territory, we can't hold it! ”
The generals were silent, Fei Ju wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth but had nothing to say. What the general said was right, they did not understand the language of these Central Asian people, and their customs were very different. Even if it is captured, how to appease the territory and the people, and push the administrative order.
If you want to take root in this alien land, there will be no war on all sides, and I am afraid that it will take several years. Not to mention that there are strong enemies on the side.
It's better to garrison it directly in Yili, at least here, the grain and straw have their own Yili to supply Lihan.
"Monk, what do you think?" Zhu Di turned his head and asked Yao Guangxiao.
"Amitabha." Yao Guangxiao first pronounced the Buddha's horn as usual, and then took a few steps forward and came to the map of Central Asia in the center of the military tent. "It is indeed difficult to hold a large territory for long...... But what if you only take one place first? ”
The generals were stunned, and Zhu Di had already stepped forward: "Oh? How so? ”
"Your Highness, the Timurid Empire is strong, and it is a local war. And Daming is thousands of miles away from us. "Yao Guangxiao said." Even if we stick to this, when Timur defeats the Golden Horde and returns, we may not have a chance of victory. ”
"Rather than this, it is better to cut off the arm of the Timurid Empire first...... Let's take this place first and open the way to the Ilkhanate......" Yao Guangxiao took a push rod and pushed the terracotta figurines representing the Ming army to a place in the map.
"It's ...... Thirsty Stone? Zhu Di's eyes froze.
"Yes, it's Thirsty Stone." Yao Guangxiao said. "This city is the place where Timur is prosperous, although the capital has now been moved, but this city connects the north and the south, and is a hub in the Timurid Empire."
"Timur swallowed the Ilkhanate, but halfway was lost to Tokhtamysh, which means that the Persian land taken from the Ilkhanate under the Timurid Empire is now unstable......"
"We can first take the thirsty stone, cut off the road of Timur's southern aid, and then lead the troops southward and take the land of Persia......"
