The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 255 Zhu Yuanzhang’s Emphasis on Timur
Butterfly flaps its wings.

In the original history, Pierma Heima never came to Daming.

But this year's team of envoys has him.

All of this has a lot to do with the British Chamber of Commerce.

The business of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce began to expand abroad a long time ago, especially the line of commodities. It was these special commodities that aroused the interest of Pierma Heima.

The news about Timur's envoy's arrival in Daming soon spread to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Usually there is no big problem, but this time a grandson of Timur came here. Out of etiquette on Daming's side, the reception specifications are different.

There are many excellent talents in Jinyiwei. These talents are not only on the capital's side, but also include spying on other countries' intelligence, undercover, and a series of actions.

There are Jinyiwei participating. These Jinyiwei who are outside have not been formally organized into the capital. Some of them are like non-staff personnel, but their salaries are not low.

It is also a very dangerous thing to do.

The name Timur was very unfamiliar to the vast majority of people and even officials in Ming Dynasty, because Timur and Daming had no direct communication.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is no stranger to it, especially the collection of Timur's war steps, he is very clear.

Although Timur has been a vassal to the Ming Dynasty since the 20th year of Hongwu, the diplomatic relations between the two countries are almost equal.

In Huagai Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked his eldest grandson, "Timur's grandson is here. You will be responsible for the reception this time."

"As for some information about Timur, you can go to Jin Yiwei to check it first. Their strength should not be underestimated."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying had a very bad premonition in her heart.

The name Timur was no stranger to him.

On the edge of the Western Regions, many places have been ruled by the Timurid Empire. In fact, Zhu Ying didn't pay much attention to the Timur Empire before.

It is more about sending members of the Chamber of Commerce to use the unique items in the Central Plains, including their own output, to obtain a lot of profits.

The current nobles of the Timurid Empire are all blessed, and the continuous victorious wars have made the nobles of the Timurid Empire a lot of money.

The foundation of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is basically in the Western Regions, and they are naturally not to be missed.

And Zhu Ying also knew that with the sudden death of Timur in history, the huge Timur empire also fell apart.

But this time, when she found out that Timur's grandson had come to Daming, Zhu Ying murmured in her heart.

"This Timur, didn't he die in the original history because of my arrival?"

"Or if you live a few more years, that would be embarrassing."

The difference between the Timur Empire and the Ming Dynasty is too far. Now the members of Zhu Ying's Qunying Chamber of Commerce are basically expanding their power towards the interior of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the Timurid Empire is a bit out of reach.

After all, for some information, it may take a year or two to go back and forth from Samarkand. Such a long distance will also cause a lot of information to fail to keep up.

"Grandpa, my grandson has some understanding of Timur's side. They have strong soldiers and horses, just like the Yuan Dynasty. The strongest is the cavalry."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying's expression became a little serious, and he continued to introduce: "Among Timur's cavalry, they have very high-defense reinforced mail, which is a unique smelting technology in the West."

"The defense of these chain armors is not inferior to my Ming armor, and my grandson has some here."

"It's just that these lock armors are different from my Ming Dynasty's production method, so it is difficult to imitate."

Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

The Ming Dynasty at this stage is indeed very strong, but it is really unclear how it will win or lose if it really faces Timur's army.

However, even if it is defeated, it will not be like the Southern Song Dynasty. It's just that this war will drag Daming, which has just recovered a little bit of vitality, into the quagmire.

The strengthened chain armor of the Western pot ring armor, the most common warriors wear armor on horseback, and even the infantry are reinforced chain armor.

Due to the scarcity of ore, the Ming Dynasty at the realization stage was not as good as the Timur Empire in terms of upper-level armaments, but the top-notch equipment was only available in the noble army on Timur's side.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard this.

He knew that Dasun was living in the Western Regions at first, so he was naturally very familiar with Timur, but he was still a little upset when he heard Dasun say that the Timur Empire was very strong, and said:

"Perhaps our Daming's weapons are inferior, but don't forget, Dasun, our Daming's firearms should not be underestimated."

Zhu Ying said with a wry smile: "Timur's side has a super mobile artillery that is said to be able to hit eight miles. It was a bit exaggerated at the time, but even if it was exaggerated, it still has a range of six or seven miles."

"These artillery pieces are controlled by Timur himself, and now Timur's foreign wars are almost unfavorable. These super artillery have made great contributions."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he stood up in disbelief:
"It's impossible! It's absolutely impossible!"

This statement is too exaggerated.

Daming's most powerful artillery now has a range of less than five miles, but Dasun said that in the hands of Timur, there is a super mobile artillery that is more powerful than Daming's artillery
What is the concept of a range of one or two miles? This means that Daming's army and Timur's army may have been attacked without even seeing the enemy's shadow.

There are very few things that can make Zhu Yuanzhang lose his temper. After a brief gaffe, Zhu Yuanzhang continued:

"It seems that Timur is much stronger than what we know. If it weren't for the huge gap between the two countries, it would really be a great threat to our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down quickly, but he attached a lot more importance to Timur in his heart.

The power of the Mongol Empire is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that it was just the right time for him to defeat the Yuan Dynasty and establish the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was still a strong cavalry team. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's team was just a very inconspicuous and small role.

They were not even taken seriously by the Yuan Dynasty. After all, there were too many anti-kings, and these peasant rebels really didn't bring enough to see.

In the Battle of Gaoyou, hundreds of thousands of Yuan Dynasty troops were disintegrated. Later, the Yuan Dynasty suppressed the uprising relying on the armed forces of various landlords, and there was hope for a time.

However, in the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor and the empress and princes were in conflict, the central and local ministers were in conflict, warlords were fighting for territory, warlords were fighting among factions, etc. In short, there were all kinds of strange things.

That's it, Yuan Chao himself played himself to death.

And now Timur is a Mongol.

The concept of the Timurid Empire is actually not much different from that of the Mongol Empire.

"Grandson's going to get in touch with Timur's grandson this time, he must be able to find out a lot of information, and our personality is different from that of Daming. They like to brag about their abilities, and they have no modesty at all."

"Since this person is Timur's grandson, he must be very clear about the situation of the army under Timur's rule. This is a good opportunity."

Zhu Ying analyzed and said.

If it is an ordinary diplomatic envoy, it is really difficult to deal with. After all, those who can serve as diplomatic envoys are generally very shrewd.

This Timur's grandson, in a sense, is equivalent to the descendants of the royal family. When he came to Daming, he must mainly have fun, and he must be weak in diplomacy.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was discussing with Zhu Ying, Jiang Yu, who was waiting outside the door, came in and said:

"Your Majesty, news came from Jinyiwei of the capital that Timur's grandson, Pierma Heima, did not go directly to Tianjie Temple, but started to play in the capital city."

"It seems that he is very interested in the prosperity of our Great Ming capital."

"On the way to visit the capital, I met a businessman as a guide. This businessman is a member of His Highness Changsun's Qunying Chamber of Commerce. At this moment, he should be eating at Ping'an Tea House."

Speaking of the latter, Jiang Yu's eyes were a little strange.

He even felt that when it came to Timur's grandson, it seemed that His Highness the eldest grandson had already made arrangements.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and said: "It's a coincidence, just now we were chatting about this skinny horse, and we went directly to Dasun's teahouse."

"If there is any good food on the Mongolian side, I think this guy will be directly conquered if he enters our grandson's teahouse."

"Dasun, the next thing depends on how you arrange it. In this matter, we will leave it to you."

Zhu Ying didn't expect such a coincidence. At first, she was still thinking about using a gourmet strategy.

In the end, he just came in by himself.

"Grandpa, don't worry, grandson is quite good at these things, but this time, grandson wants to borrow someone from grandpa."

Zhu Ying said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care and said: "If the eldest grandson needs help, just call him over."

Zhu Yingdao: "It is the new supervisor of Qin Tianjian, Liu Rixin."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any idea at first, but when he heard that it was Liu Rixin, he asked curiously: "Isn't Liu Rixin a fortune teller? What use does the grandson want him for? Could it be to tell the fortune of that skinny horse?"

Zhu Ying nodded and said: "That's right, Sun'er just wanted to ask Mr. Liu to tell the fate of that skinny horse."

"The situation on Timur's side is somewhat similar to my Daming's."

"Jahangir, Timur's eldest son, died early, and Pierma Heima's elder brother, Ma Heima Sultan, was designated by Timur as his successor."

"Timerer's second son died in battle, the third son was also injured in the war and suffered from an incurable disease, and the fourth son Shah Ru was too young to bear the heavy responsibility."

"This time, the grandson wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could plant a special seed."

As for the old man, Zhu Ying didn't need to make any detours, and just said what was in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, approving of Dasun's plans, and said: "Okay, since Dasun has an idea, let's do it directly."

In the Qin Tianjian, Liu Rixin is discussing the mysteries of Fengshui academics with the officials of the former Qin Tianjian.

In the business of fortune-telling, there are many secret methods passed down from generation to generation.

Although in terms of ability, Liu Rixin is currently the highest in the entire Qin Tianjian, but in the knowledge of Feng Shui secrets, there are too many that Liu Rixin has never been in contact with.

After all, those who were able to come to Qin Tianjian had more or less family-heirloom skills.

Perhaps most people are not capable enough, but this does not mean that their inheritance is weaker than Liu Rixin, it can only mean that their understanding is not high enough.

"I heard that Mrs. Jianzheng is going to the capital soon. Liu Jianzheng hastened to take advantage of this opportunity and take in a concubine, lest Mrs. Sister-in-law arrives, and there will be no chance."

After some exchanges, some officials from Qin Tianjian joked.

In Qin Tianjian, which is similar to an academic circle, the atmosphere is still very good. Unlike other official departments, there is not so much emphasis on the distinction between superiors and subordinates.

Just like the Hanlin Academy for scholars, they often don't care so much about the level of their positions.

Liu Rixin said with a smile, "I'm already so old, why would I want to take a concubine?"

Another ordinary official said with a smile: "Master Liu must be full of children and grandchildren, so he didn't care about it for a long time. Now that Mrs. Liu is here, I think Mr. Liu will enjoy the family happiness from now on."

Hearing this, Liu Rixin felt a little bitter.

How could he have any sons? Since the founding of Daming, he didn't even have a child, and he left home for 20 years before returning. If he really wanted a son, it would not be his own seed.

He himself didn't expect that he could still live to this day, and he became an official, and his life suddenly became stable.

Therefore, people are not as good as heaven.

Seeing Liu Rixin's expression, several officials next to him roughly guessed the whole story.

At this time, the former supervisor of Qin Tianjian, who is also the deputy supervisor of Qin Tianjian, couldn't help persuading: "Brother Liu, I didn't say that, although he is a bit older now, the inheritance of incense is a big deal after all."

"There are three so-called unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. In our business, there are indeed many taboos about marrying a wife and having children."

"It's just that Brother Liu's situation is different now. Our Qin Tianjian is protected by the royal family, so naturally we don't need to have too many scruples about the inheritance of incense."

"I've also heard that Brother Liu and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson have a very rich relationship. They take concubines and have children. I think Mrs. Lai will agree if she finds out about it."

Hearing this, Liu Rixin's mind became active.

I didn't give birth once, because I didn't dare to give birth.

After all, my own life is just like that.

Now that I am only in my early sixties, maybe I can really have children in old age.

Just when Liu Rixin was thinking and hesitating, an eunuch came over and delivered an order: "Follow the order of His Royal Highness, and call Qin Tianjian to meet with him at Kunning Palace."

Not long after Zhu Ying returned to Kunning Palace, news about Pierma Heima came from Ye Yueqing.

"It's His Highness's 37 disciples who ran into Timur's grandson on the street."

Ye Yueqing reported.

Hearing that it was disciple 37, Zhu Ying didn't remember it at first.

After all, there are too many disciples, sometimes it is normal to forget.

After a while, Zhu Ying said speechlessly: "It turned out to be him, so hurry up and send an order to tell him not to deceive others, hurry up, I'm afraid it's too late, this guy, Pi'erma Heima, is probably even wearing pants There are none left."
