The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 541 The Threat of Ming Dynasty

The news of moving the capital to Chang'an soon appeared in the Jingshi Mansion Newspaper.

This also caused many people in the capital to give birth to a lot of thoughts.

Everyone knows that the economic prosperity of a dynasty must follow the direction of the capital, and the status of the capital will be more prosperous.

Although many local residents in the capital complained, this would lead to a reduction in their income.

But the matter of being published in the Jingshi Mansion newspaper is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it.

The residence newspaper of the capital also published news that the sale of houses in Chang'an City was prohibited.

This made it possible for the people of the capital to migrate in advance.

Of course, there are some well-connected big households who can think of workarounds, but they are in the minority after all.

The project of transforming Chang'an is about to start preparations now.

The inner city of Samarkand has clean and tidy streets and majestic buildings.

This is also for the passage of the subsequent channel as a guarantee.

I can't imagine that when Timur turned his head to attack the Golden Horde Khanate, he might be defeated in one blow.

Since the establishment of the Timurid Empire in the second year of Hongwu, for 25 years, the entire Timur Empire has been in a state of war almost all the time.

The knights in front held the whips to clear the way, but any slaves, including civilians, who dared to stand in the middle of the road, would be whipped and driven away.

At this moment, Pierma Heima couldn't restrain his joy and replied: "Yes, I spent a lot of money to get this formula from them."

According to the current Samarkand law, slaves cannot enter the inner city of Samarkand, nor can they stay overnight or stay in the outer city.

Timur, who was originally sitting, stood up the moment he saw the cement formula.

Outside is the threat of the grassland.

And as far as the context of the entire land of China is concerned, it has been easy to fight from the north to the south since ancient times, but it is much more difficult to fight from the south to the north.

Timur realized very early that if he wanted to manage his territory well, he could not last long by plundering, and he had to return to the rule of civilization.

Although it is still possible to sail ships now, if they are not dredged and allowed to develop, there will probably be problems in a hundred years.

Unlike the Central Plains dynasty's rule over the inherent territory, Timur did not have a marginal concept.

When you, Pierma Heima, entered the inner city, there were already attendants waiting here.

The current Daming navy is the number one navy in the world, and there is no rival at all in the maritime countries.

It was also because of Timur's majestic reprimand that later Pi'erma Heima contracted alcoholism.

The development of maritime trade with the current control power will not become a big problem.

As far as the current situation is concerned, most of the nobles here are naturally military nobles.

The sharp eyes showed Timur's state at the moment.

And His Highness Pierma Heima, who he followed, will also get the attention of His Majesty Timur.

On this piece of paper is the formula for cement.

This kind of etiquette, Pi'erma Heima is used to it.

After more than half a year, Pierma Heima finally came back here again.

Pierma Heima did not answer, but repeated; "They are the strongest army I have seen."

When Pierma Heima heard Grandpa Timur's question, he couldn't help thinking of the memories of the capital in his mind, and said immediately:

"I don't know when Samarkand can be as civilized and clean as the capital of Ming Dynasty."

The brutal and barbaric Mongolian cavalry is the current nightmare of the entire Western world.

As the ruler of the empire and the initiator of the war, Timur's power is even the grandson of Pi'erma Heima, who is also very afraid.

After getting off the carriage, he walked straight into the palace, while Melas waited respectfully outside the palace.

"However, I believe that during the holidays, Samarkand will inevitably become the second center of the world."

"There is a smell everywhere, which hit my nose very hard, and the heavy perfume is caught in it, which is really unbearable."

"His Majesty the Sultan is waiting for His Highness' arrival in the palace."

For such a scene, Pierma Heima is already very familiar with it.

Although Zhu Ying has the idea of ​​the Great Ming Sea World Empire, but first of all, he still needs to stabilize the basic situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Following Pierma Heima, Melas can be said to be in a high position in his life.

That gave Timur a great psychological shadow when he was a child.

The southeast coast is even more different, the only threat is the Japanese pirates.

And from the perspective of military wealth, even after the Ming embargo, Beiyuan's foundation was much stronger than that of the Golden Horde.

Before Timur seized the Western Chahatai Khanate, he had felt the powerful deterrence of the Mongolian envoys.

The inside and outside of Samarkand are two completely different worlds.

Pi'erma Heima saw that Grandpa Timur's complexion was not good, and quickly added: "The great-grandson of Ming Dynasty, the successor of the future emperor, he summoned a large number of craftsmen and invented a formula for building roads."

It's not that Timur doesn't like his grandson, in fact, Timur loves this second grandson more than his eldest grandson.

Because the Song Dynasty did not have a relationship with Chang'an as the capital, the current Weihe River has not been dredged for a long time, and it has become silted up.

He vaguely remembered how his grandfather Timur taught him when he was naughty when he was a child.

Its first thing is not to repair the palace, nor is it to change the houses in Chang'an.

The high-ranking aristocrats are in stark contrast to the naked and emaciated slaves around them.

Even so, the Golden Horde is already struggling to maintain it.

Because the distance was too far, Timur naturally didn't know the specific situation of Meng Yuan at that time. The news he got was that Daming drove Meng Yuan back to the grassland and continuously defeated Meng Yuan's iron cavalry.

There are constantly nobles riding tall horses, leading dozens of knights, and hundreds of thousands of slaves into the city.

Chang'an is located close to the north, and it can exert extremely strong control over the northern grasslands and the Western Regions.

The attendant bowed his head and stroked his chest, and said respectfully.

"I saw the prosperity of the people of Ming Dynasty, the strength of the army, and the supreme power of the emperor."

"Myras, compared to Ming's Nanjing City, our place feels like a rural place."

The interior is like the Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns were separated, and the feudal kings were in turmoil.

"Your Highness, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is due to the accumulation of the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years, which is the center of world civilization."

Timur, who has been in Hongwu for 27 years, is 58 years old this year. Even though he was lame due to the war, his strong body is already full of strength.

The future direction is definitely that Ming's maritime trade will be the main focus, but Zhu Ying still chose to make Chang'an the capital.

"Grandpa, your grandson is back."

Pierma Heima sat on the carriage and said to Melas next to him.

Melas saw that Pierma Heima was about to get off the carriage, so he hurriedly walked to the side of the carriage and lay down on the ground, using himself as a step to supply His Majesty Pierma Heima.

One is outside and one is inside.

"That day, when the grandson of the Ming Dynasty was canonized, there was an army performance. The neat steps, powerful firearms, thick armor, and strict military discipline made my grandson feel terrified."

And the south is even more impossible.

Although it has some influence on the sea trade, Chang'an does not lack a large amount of sea trade materials, and the transportation through the Weihe River is already enough.

He knew very well that as long as the secret recipe of cement was dedicated to Sultan Timur, the entire Timur Empire would usher in stronger prosperity.

It's just that as a sultan, Timur's majesty is the cornerstone of the entire empire, and the continuous wars he launched have never stopped him.

For today's Timurid Empire, victory is already the most common thing, and they have hardly encountered any difficult wars.

After Timur hummed, there was no intimacy like Daming's grandparents who haven't seen each other for a long time.

The palace is very tall, about seven or eight meters long. This is a completely different architectural style from that of Daming.

Except for the slaves transported in the outer city, the rest are citizens and nobles.

As the ruling center of the entire Timurid Empire, Samarkand has the most nobles.

After finishing speaking, Pierma Heima carefully took out a piece of mulberry paper from his pocket.

Chang'an is close to the Yellow River, but the sediment concentration of the Yellow River is too high. Most of the river section is impassable for ships. The only one that can pass ships and deliver materials to Chang'an on the waterway is the Weihe River.

He asked directly: "I'll let you go to Daming and tell me what you saw in the capital of Daming."

Not to mention Zhu Ying's current strong support for the maritime fleet. Not only does a large amount of funds be allocated to the Daming Navy every year for repairing the fleet and building ships, but also the continuous development of shipyards, encouraging the families and clans to conduct maritime trade, and expanding the Daming forcefully. influence on the world's oceans.

With internal chaos and external pressure, the Golden Horde's dominance over the local grassland is now comparable to that of Bei Yuan.

The moment Pierma Heima saw Timur, he took a deep breath and said respectfully.

When entering Samarkand, I feel the wealth and civilization here.

It's not crowded here, and even the servants who live here appear to be clean and decent.

Pi'erma Heima didn't intend to get out of the car, but just nodded to let the attendant lead the way.

Hongwu 27 years, April.

The main key lies in dredging the Weihe River.

Soon, they came to a domed palace.

There is nothing to say about Beiyuan. Now it is being devoured constantly. The key lies in Oala and the Timurid Empire coming from the west.

This is the second grandson of Timur. Although there is no possibility of inheriting the Timur Empire for the time being, he is also the king of a place at the last time.

To put it simply, it is to constantly conquer all the land that can be seen.

Pi'erma Heima knew that this must be another victory somewhere.

In fact, as far as the capital is concerned, in the Chang'an area, the waterways are not well developed.

Power, in Samarkand, or the entire Timur Empire, is the strongest.

Melas said respectfully, with a hint of joy in his tone.

The laws of the entire Timurid Empire only protected nobles and citizens, and there was no difference between slaves and goods.

Even if there is a problem in the south in later generations, taking Chang'an to the south will be much simpler and easier in terms of military operations.

To put it a little bit exaggeratedly, even if it takes another 200 years, given 200 years of development time, no country in the world can defeat the current Daming Navy.

This is how powerful the Mongols are in the west. When many small countries heard that Mongolian iron cavalry appeared, the kings were already trembling with fright.

Hearing this, Timur frowned even more.

"The principle of using this formula to build is as hard as marble, and the cost is very low."

Whether it is Annan, Champa, or Chenla, there is no possibility of competing with the Central Plains dynasty. Even in the glorious period of history, it is just jumping around at the border. Talking about breaking into the Central Plains is naturally wishful thinking.

Poor ordinary slaves are not even qualified to enter here, and even slaves are nobles of nobles in many small countries, as well as their wives and daughters.

As the second-grandson of Sultan Timur, Pierma Heima's status in Samarkand goes without saying, but like other nobles, Samarkand is full of slaves and the roads will be congested.

"It's the first time I've seen such a powerful army in this world."

"I really miss the days in the Daming capital, how prosperous it is, not to mention the stinking slaves, even the dirty beggars can't be seen."

Melas is the Mongolian foreign minister who has been accompanying Pierma Heima in the capital all the time.

There is a key problem here.

While Daming continues to develop, it is also Timur's highlight moment today.

Because they got along better, perhaps because they shared the experience of being in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, so Pierma Heima made Melas his close minister, that is, his confidant.

There is no threat at all in the Western Regions, there are many small countries, even if they refuse to obey discipline, there is no impact on the Central Plains Dynasty.

Moreover, because the surrounding forests have been cut down, water, soil and vegetation have been seriously lost, and the sediment content of the Weihe River has increased.

Naturally, it is impossible to let such a century-old plan be left alone.

Therefore, Zhu Ying issued an urgent order of six hundred miles, strictly prohibiting the felling of trees around the Weihe River, and at the same time started afforestation work on the Weihe River section.

Therefore, for Daming today, there is no longer any threat from the sea, the only threat is the grassland.

This is an extremely major project, which means that a lot of manpower and financial resources will be consumed.

Although they lost their status as nobles, their childhood education allowed them to be more polite.

When the leather horse and black linen carriage entered, the nobles who saw it immediately recognized the inscription on the carriage, and immediately bowed their heads and stroked their chests with their right hands in salute.

In the middle of the palace, Tamerlane, dressed in splendid attire and holding a golden scepter studded with precious stones, is sitting on a chair.

Samarkand.

This is buried in the hearts of the Mongols and originated from the belief passed down by Genghis Khan.

"The current chaos and filth are temporary. As long as His Highness presents the secret recipe of cement, the development of Samarkand will be extremely fast, and His Majesty the Sultan will give His Highness great praise."

Since ancient times, the turmoil of the dynasty has mainly come from two aspects.

Melas was, of course, extremely happy.

Even the floors are cut from expensive marble.

"Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, has a population of 200 million. The life of so many people is like the inner city of Samarkand."

When Timur heard this, he stared at his grandson Pi'er Ma Heima with piercing eyes and asked, "So you got this recipe from the Ming capital."

The current war between Timur and the Golden Horde is still in its infancy, and the real main force has been sweeping the West.

He has always been very jealous of Daming, a powerful dynasty that can drive away Meng Yuandu.

Hearing this, Timur frowned and asked, "Even my guards can't compare?"

Just at the gate of the city, you can see a large number of slaves, driven by horsewhips, who are constantly transporting goods.

If it weren't for this, Timur would not have been so polite in his letter of state to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he would have acknowledged Ming's dominance and called himself a minister.

A country with tens of thousands of people is simply incomparable even the county seat of Daming.

Naturally, Pi'erma Heima would not let the handicapped grandfather come over, so he immediately stepped forward and handed it over.

This paper is written in Chinese characters.

However, this does not bother Timur, because Timur is equally proficient in Chinese characters, including Chinese.

This is enough to see that Timur had an idea about the rich China many years ago.
