Chapter 749: Empire Twilight

As soon as Ulugh Beg died, the defenses at the city walls collapsed in an instant.

Fei Ju led the Suzhou guards to attack the city tower and cut down the black and red banner representing the Timurid Empire on the city tower, and the Ming army burst into a deafening cheer. Then, the Ming Dynasty's sun and moon hanging sky banner was embraced into the city gate and inserted above the city tower.

Emperor Timur's heart was even more scattered, and even the Sultan's personal guards, who served as the overseers, began to desert.

The wall-like Ming army entered the city one after another, like Mount Tai overwhelmed, extinguishing the sporadic resistance that had become a climate everywhere. Due to the internal strife and the capture of the city, the losses of the Ming army were almost negligible.

The next thing to do is to take over Timur's vast legacy.

"Restrain the soldiers! Men of all nationalities, listen! His Royal Highnesses the King of Yan and King Zhou of the Ming Dynasty have an order to march in line and prohibit plundering, burning and killing! Whoever dares to violate the ban will be killed!"

"Your Highnesses have an order! Quickly seal the treasury in the city! Whoever takes advantage of the chaos will be killed!"

Three hot air balloons have risen into the air, like three eyes suspended above the nine heavens, scanning and shocking all the movements in the city, and a few of the sultan's guards who still plan to resist were discovered by the Ming army sentry on the hot air balloon before the sneak attack on Zhu Su and Zhu Di, and they were all beheaded directly; There are also Mongolians and poisonous people who can't resist the temptation, thinking that they will not be discovered, break into the houses and burn them, but they have nothing to hide under the hot air balloon and are exterminated on the spot.

The Ming army showed a strong and controlling power that everyone had never heard of, and took over the city very strongly at a very small cost.

"Foreign Minister Ali Taz, meet His Royal Highness King Ming Yan and His Royal Highness King Zhou." Alitaz was especially stained with blood, and he looked like he had worked hard, and he knelt in front of Zhu Di and Zhu Su very respectfully.

"The foreign minister thanked the Ming Dynasty for announcing that the ambition of the Ulugh Beg wolf son actually concealed the news of his grandfather's death...... Now the traitor Ulugh Beg has been punished, and the impostor of the Sultan has been punished. I would like to ask the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow to help our country and revive our country's ......."

As he spoke, he sent someone to send a brocade box, Zhu Di asked people to take it, and after taking a look, it seemed that it was indeed Timur's head.

He had only seen Timur from afar in battle, and he did not know what he looked like. However, Ali Taz didn't dare to deceive Daming, so Zhu Di asked people to put away the brocade box.

Alitaz obviously has a certain degree of attainment in Sinology, and his Chinese dialect is more fluent than that of Ma Heima and Khalil, and he can even use some obscure words...... Zhu Di and Zhu Su glanced at each other, knowing that this was Alitaz's intention to show goodwill. I want Daming to know that he is the most suitable person to cooperate with Daming.

"General Aritaz has worked hard, please get up." Zhu Su personally stepped forward and helped Alitaz up with a pleasant face. "If there were no generals, I would not have been able to break the city so easily."

"As for the revival of your country...... This matter cannot be done overnight, and the general should be calm for a while, and wait for the king and the fourth brother to discuss and present the case with the ministers, and then make a ......final decision."

Alitaz wanted to get Daming's approval on the spot, and Zhu Su naturally couldn't let him get his wish easily. Under this trick, although Alitaz still wanted to say more, he could only be honest and bow to the side.

Now, the initiative is on the side of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he killed Timur to help Daming enter the city, he didn't have the capital to bargain with Daming...... Only those who hold swords and soldiers are qualified to bargain with the Ming Dynasty.

With his current power? That's not even the case.

I have done so much, but I am just qualified to put myself in front of Da Ming, and pray that Da Ming's grace can fall on my head......

"Your Highness, why do you want to be kind to this person? This person is by no means a good person, why don't you punish ...... early" Zhu Su's side, Huang Guan, who had always observed Alitaz's every move, attached to Zhu Su's ear and said. In the words, there was a deep disgust for Alitaz.

"This person has no bottom line and shame, Timur is his ancestor, and he can still be killed, if he uses this person lightly, he will become a confidant......

Although he was a new student, he was also deeply influenced by Confucian morality. Moreover, the new school did not abandon the traditional concept of morality, but made it more popular on another level.

Naturally, Huang Guan couldn't get used to killing his ancestors to seek glory.

"This fang is indeed vicious, and will do whatever it takes...... But it is precisely because of this that it is enough to prove the practice of good knowledge." Zhu Su whispered to Huang Guandao. "Even if he is ambitious? As long as my Ming is still strong, he will have to continue to 'know the times'."

"Remember, it doesn't matter how moral you are, it's not an infallible moral gentleman that I'm going to support. To open up the territory to the outside world, everything needs to be based on the interests of the Ming Dynasty...... And what the Ming Dynasty needed when he set up the puppet was precisely this part of 'knowing the times'."

Huang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then pondered. Zhu Su had already walked with Zhu Di and walked step by step towards Timur's original palace in the city. The once powerful Timurid Empire has collapsed, and the next thing to consider is how to digest this huge territory.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, His Royal Highness King Zhou......" Ma Heima and Khalil had already gathered to Zhu Di and Zhu Su's side. They had already learned of the death of the "impostor" Sultan, whose head was in a nearby brocade box, but they were not even willing to confirm whether it was the real Timur......

After all, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. No matter how great Timur the conqueror was, after his death, he was not as heavy as a tael of silver.

Da Ming said that he was an imposter supported by Ulugh Beg, and he had to be an impostor. Now, how to grasp more power is their highest priority at present.

"Two Highnesses, I have mastered all the treasury in the city, if Your Highness has time, please send someone to take over......

"Your Highnesses, I have sealed the palace in the city, and the damned remnants of Ulugh Begmu even want to burn the palace down......

Ma Heima and Khalil both rushed to Zhu Su and Zhu Di, after the two of them were ordered to spread the news that Timur had died, and by the way to win over the princes, and soon the two of them each gathered a considerable army, and then came to Zhu Su and Zhu Di with great interest.

Seeing the power of the cannon and the magic of the hot air balloon, the two of them even restrained their thoughts of waiting for the opportunity, and then put their minds on currying favor with these Ming nobles.

In their opinion, these Ming people came from afar, and it is impossible for them to really rule this land for a long time, and they are bound to set up an obedient agent to help rule this place. And the two of them are the characters chosen by the Ming Dynasty. Which of them pleases the two princes will inevitably be the next sultan of the empire.

As for whether it's a puppet or something else...... Who cares?

It's just that what they didn't expect was that what should have been a sure thing and could only take one of the two people was killed out of thin air......
