"Fourth brother, listen to me." Zhu Su said.

"Teach the three of them to fight, and I will only take one of them...... Of course, it can greatly reduce the strength of the remnants of the Timurid Empire. But as far as the current situation is concerned, it will not be beneficial for my Ming to continue to reduce the strength of this country."

"If the Golden Horde, the Ottoman Empire, and other countries are allowed to take advantage of the situation, and we fight Timur here to the death, will we not be a wedding dress for these cheap countries?"

Zhu Di heard this and nodded. If it is picked up by these countries, it will create a strong enemy for the great cause of the Western Expedition. How to make the remnants of Timur's empire weak and easy to control, but not weak enough to become fragrant buns that nourish other countries, this is indeed a great problem.

"In that case, I don't have to teach this Timurid empire internal friction anymore...... The strength that has influenced them has dropped enough now." Zhu Su said. "Since we are worried about the resurgence of their power, it is better to simply divide this country into three, and Mahema, Khalil, and Alitaz will each be a sultan."

"In this way, their strength will not be lost, and they will not be cheaper than other countries. It is also divided into three countries, which will intrigue with each other, and it must be known that it is divided into three countries, which has always been the most difficult to unify, but whenever one country is too strong, the other two countries will inevitably be linked to each other and confront each other until their national strength fades and their status as a great power changes hands...... You can also teach them to be ministers and Ming, so that I can coordinate in the middle and not make one family dominant."

"Isn't this kind of distribution more skilled than just sealing one person?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up slightly, and after thinking for a while, he nodded. "It's a very good method, wonderful."

"But...... To whom do you assign this city of Samarkand?" Zhu Di said. "This city is the capital of the Timurid Empire, and if anyone sits on this city, it will be as if they are sitting on orthodoxy."

"And this palace ...... Look at it, it's so rich, but you can't take it away." Zhu Di pointed to the sculptures, murals and so on around the palace. "Such a palace worth hundreds of millions of dollars is not suitable for anyone...... Whoever has the financial resources will inevitably leap above the other two."

"Could it be that we should smash this palace and take the goods back to China?"

"Of course not." Zhu Su shook his head decisively. If the palace is smashed, it will undoubtedly be abandoned by the Central Asians. It is bound to cause hostility from many.

What the Ming Dynasty is planning to rule and educate this place for a long time, and smashing the palace is contrary to this phalanx, and it must not be done.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, in fact, I already have a plan for this." Zhu Su said. "We can collect this city as my Ming Concession, which will be directly governed by my Ming Dynasty and will not be distributed to other people."

"Not to mention that this place is the Kangju Governor's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty, my former Chinese dynasty, and I inherited the Sheji of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so it is logical for me to rule this place."

"Then it is said that this land of the Silk Road, the place where the sun is making money, and if this profit of wealth is distributed to any one of Maheima, Halil Alitaz, will not he be above the other two? It's not in my good interest."

"And this palace ...... Such a palace city, except for me who can have it, who else has this virtue? Their inheritance is chaotic, although this palace seems to be a nouveau riche, but it is also the work of many craftsmen. If you let those barbarians who don't pay attention to the inheritance take care of it, maybe one day they will be destroyed in the flames of war."

"Such a treasure should be preserved...... I have thought about how to deal with this palace city, and after I can control this place, I can sell tickets to my Ming tourists for them to visit. I should have a broad horizon as a scholar, and in the future, if someone travels around to increase his knowledge before the imperial examination, he should also come to this Kangju City to see and feel the exotic wind."

"Okay." Zhu Di didn't want to listen to Zhu Su's idea of opening the palace city as a place to visit, and in his mind, these were just minutiae...... Anyway, this palace where the sultan of the Timurid Empire once lived, no one would dare to live in it, and it would be used as a maintenance fee to collect some sects.

What intrigued Zhu Di was Zhu Su's idea of setting Samarkand as a concession. He thought for a while and felt that it was indeed a good solution, so he also agreed to this proposal, and instead discussed with Zhu Su how to divide the Timurid Empire among the three people.

In the end, it was tentatively decided that Mahehema would take the northern part of the Timurid Empire, and Khalil would go to Timur

In the western part of the empire, Alitaz divided the eastern part of the empire, and the Ming Dynasty took the city of Kangju (Samarkand) and some coastal ports of Persia as concessions.

"In this way, Ma Hema is responsible for resisting the Golden Horde, and Khalil is responsible for resisting the Black Sheep and the Ottoman Empire. The two of them have the support of many noble warlords, and they have this strength...... It's just that in this way, is Alitaz's strength too weak? His meritorious service was made by the execution of his grandfather Timur, and although this matter was not put on the table, it was bound to be resented by many nobles and warlords. Moreover, most of the warlords in the Timurid Empire were also there

It's almost time to be co-opted by Ma Hema and Khalil......."

"In this way, Alitaz is too weak, how can he take on the great task of containing the other two countries?"

"This ...... I can only take one step at a time." Zhu Su said. He also knew that among the three, Alitaz had the thinnest foundation, but he was the most deeply attached to Daming. He deliberately divided him in the south, where there were the fewest foreign enemies, because he felt that his foundation was too thin, and if there were any strong foreign enemies, he was afraid that he would collapse if he could not support him for a few months.

However, Alitaz still looked a little too weak...... We need to think of ways to help boost their momentum.

What Zhu Su didn't expect was that he and Zhu Di hadn't figured out anything about helping Alitaz for the time being, and Alitaz delivered it to the door by himself.

After a lavish funeral for Timur, of course, the "real", and not the impostor Sultan "Timur" who was propagated by the anti-thief Ulugh Beg, Zhu Su and Zhu Di divided the vast inheritance of the Timurid empire into three and gave it to Timur's three most filial grandsons.

The "true" Timur used *** funeral rites, and when the "relatives washed the body of the deceased with water", the expressions of admiration and reluctance of the three sultans' grandsons to their grandfather were enough to make the most hard-hearted people cry. For Da Ming, who generously held the Sultan's funeral, the three grandsons of the Sultan expressed their heartfelt gratitude. As for the fact that Timur "died" at the hands of these wise men, the three grandsons of the sultans said that they did not resent it. On the battle array, the sword has no eyes, and it cannot be hated. The Ming Dynasty held a funeral for the Sultan, which was the greatest respect for the Timurid Empire.

Subsequently, Ma Heima took the northern part of the empire, promoted to the position of sultan, and sent envoys to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to meet the Ming Emperor in Tianfu. Since then, the northern part of Central Asia has been referred to as the "Ming Mahema Sultanate", and similarly, the western and southern parts are the "Ming Khalil Sultanate" and the "Ming Alitaz Sultanate" respectively.

Samarkand was officially renamed "Kangju City" and became the garrison of Zhu Dixi's expeditionary army, and the traces of Timur, a generation of conquerors, disappeared in the long river of history.

The night before the three sultans were about to return to their respective countries, the weakest southern sultan, Alitaz, found Zhu Di.

"What? Alitaz wants to marry her daughter to the king as a concubine?" Hearing Zhang Yu's report, Zhu Di, who was already becoming more and more calm and serious, was still taken aback.
