Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping
Chapter 685: Tamerlane admits compensation!
The war in the northwest is progressing rapidly.
half a month later.
Good news came again.
"Cao Guogong Li Jinglong led an army of 50,000 to fight against Sultan Harry's army of 200,000 at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
Sultan Harry's army was defeated, leaving behind nearly 100,000 corpses, as well as countless cattle, sheep, camels, grain and baggage, and fled in panic. "
"Ganzhou sent 20,000 troops and brought back 200,000 cattle, sheep, camels, and 10,000 carts of grain and grass."
"Cao Guogong led the army to the north, and with the Northern Expedition army, they attacked Timur's 200,000-strong army in the lower reaches of the Yili River.
Timur's army was defeated and almost completely destroyed. He left behind hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and camels, as well as tens of thousands of carts of food and baggage. Only a few noble leaders fled with tens of thousands of troops and horses.
As for Timur, the Great Khan of the Timur Kingdom, he died in the army..."
As soon as this news came back to the capital, the whole court suddenly became excited again, and everyone was happy.
Up and down the Ming Dynasty, there were countless gentry and merchants, all staring closely at the railway that had begun construction.
The Ming Dynasty was able to destroy Wala and kill more than half of Temur's hundreds of thousands of troops!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At the Shunde County Prince's Mansion, Zhu Di stared at Guo An closely, his eyes full of inquiry.
Guo An looked complacent, "Your majesty is wise, if I were a minor minister when I was still the chief minister of Prince Yan, I would not dare to compare with Uncle Cheng.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. As long as there is enough steel and the soldiers of the Road Construction and Lifting Department in the hands of His Highness, the railway will be completed soon!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but glare at Guo An, and then stopped talking about this topic.
Another piece of news came.
The more than a thousand students from the military academy also returned with the army.
"I also want to see what a grand sight it would be if a huge iron chariot that was dozens of feet long could run faster than a horse!"
And everyone in the Seven Guards of Kansai was filled with gratitude.
at the same time.
But in terms of craftsmanship, invention and business, a humble minister can be compared with a sincere Bo! "
"Your Majesty, now that the overall situation in the north has been decided, can we allocate more of the steel from the Smelting Department to Jiangjunshan Iron and Steel Workshop?"
Immortal God, they Mongolians no longer have a chance to resist, they can only surrender to the bravery of the Ming people!
This battle not only destroyed Oara, but also defeated Timur's army, and captured so many cattle, sheep, camels, grain, grass and baggage. This was a huge profit for the Ming Dynasty.
More than half of the cement straight roads from the capital to Sichuan and Yunnan were paved by the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.
The great troubles in Timur's country were over, and Zhu Di couldn't help but feel in a good mood, and began to have some lofty ambitions.
"Ok!"
Zhu Di thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Ok!"
"You guys..."
Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi ordered people to mobilize 5,000 soldiers from the Road Construction Department to start building the railway from the capital to Jiaxing Prefecture.
A few days later.
"Now, our Ming Dynasty is no longer in danger, and we have also captured hundreds of thousands of pieces of iron armor, spears and swords. There is no need to rush to forge a large amount of armaments. We can give the steel workshop some more steel!"
But now, thanks to His Majesty's great love, I am honored to be the Prince of Ming Dynasty.
Anke Timur, the leader of the Hami Guard, sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
The same is naturally true for the Prince of Shunde County.
As for the Ming Emperor Zhu Di, he was filled with surprise and doubt when he saw the news that Timur died in the army!
"What Guo Qing predicted came true. Then Timur really died in the army, or he died of a serious illness!"
Guo An quickly thanked him.
……
For these people, Zhu Di just gave a few words of comfort and praise and conferred them on them.
Although in terms of talent, learning and strategy, it may not be as good as sincerity!
Guo An smiled slightly and began to change the topic.
As for Jiangjunshan Workshop, another round of expansion has begun.
Guo An ignored Zhu Di's expression, but said angrily: "That old thief will die well. If he doesn't manage his Timur Kingdom well, he insists on attacking our Ming Dynasty, and he will die in the army!"
The other leaders of Chijin Mongolian Guard and Shazhou Guard also imitated Anke Timur's actions and sent envoys carrying thousands of good horses and several large carts of treasures to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing this, Zhu Di's expression remained unchanged and continued: "Sometimes, we all wonder whether Guo Qing is really as talented as Uncle Cheng Yi?"
Xu Huizu, Geng Bingwen and others finally finished handling the matters in Oara and Ganzhou and began to return.
The entire court was once again filled with laughter and laughter.
Moreover, he also killed so many thieves!
He also brought hundreds of thousands of pieces of iron armor, spears and swords to the Ming Dynasty!
It can be regarded as a great supplement for Ming Dynasty, which is in urgent need of steel.
Princess Liu Baiwei had people prepare various delicacies early.
After Guo Lu returned home, he first met with Guo An.
"The child has met his father!"
Guo An's eyes flashed, he stared at Guo Lu for a while, and said with emotion:
"Darker, thinner, and a lot more stable!"
Guo Lu's eyes turned red.
Guo An couldn't see this and waved his hand directly: "Okay, hurry up and say hello to your mother. You have been worrying about your mother for several months while accompanying the army on the northern expedition!"
"Yes, Dad!"
Guo Lu saluted again and hurried to the back house.
Soon, the back house became lively again.
"mother!"
"My Lu'er, why are you so dark and yet so thin!"
"Come on, hurry up and ask the chef to bring the food, so that the second young master can have a good meal!"
"Yes, Princess!"
"..."
The back house became lively again.
Naturally, Guo Lu's boasting voice also sounded.
Guo An also felt relieved.
Or perhaps, seeing the return of their heirs, all the powerful officers and generals of the Ming Dynasty felt relieved.
Even Zhu Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the military nobles of the Ming Dynasty were relieved, but the Timurid Kingdom far to the west was in panic.
Their sky has fallen.
Not only did their Great Khan die, but they also gave away hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals, as well as countless cattle, sheep, camels, and food and baggage to Timurid, which greatly damaged the national strength of Timurid.
The most important thing is that it also brought them powerful enemies to the Timurid Kingdom.
Not only the Ming army, but also the remnant army led by Harry Sultan of their Timurid Kingdom, has been chasing them towards their Timurid Kingdom.
even.
In the southernmost part of their Timur Kingdom, huge warships also appeared. Under the leadership of some dwarfs, they frantically attacked the southern cities of their Timurid Kingdom.
It's just a big war, they Timurid are not afraid of anyone, they firmly believe that the swords in their hands can kill any enemy who dares to resist.
However, the Ming people have many powerful firearms and bombs.
There are those little dwarfs guarding the front.
The Timurids could only be forced to defend and were bombarded with firearms and bombs, without the slightest ability to resist.
The Timur Kingdom, which had already fallen into civil strife due to the death of Timur Khan, had such an irresistible foreign invasion, and the entire Timur Kingdom was in chaos!
Before the dignitaries and royal family in Timur's country could grieve over the death of Timur Khan, they separated into several major factions and began to compete for the throne!
Fortunately, with the Ming army's Western Expedition and the pressure of the enemy, all the royal families in Timur's country did not dare to expend too much strength on each other, but secretly held together to fight against foreign enemies.
However, most of the elite of Timur's kingdom had been buried in the Ming Dynasty by Timur.
therefore.
Whether it is the sea to the south or the cities to the east, they are all under great pressure.
And the army of the Ming Dynasty relied on the power of firearms and ammunition to attack their city, and it was like destroying everything!
In less than a month, Timur's kingdom had lost more than a dozen cities. at the same time.
Seeing that Timur State was in such catastrophe, the surrounding small countries, which had been bullied by Timur State for decades, also began to take the opportunity to attack Timur State.
The entire Timurid Kingdom was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and people were in panic.
Just started.
The royal family of the Timurid Kingdom also had the idea of recruiting troops to fight back.
However, when you get to the back, you can only retract while hitting.
Then I heard that the humble small countries around them who usually kneeled down and licked them, actually started to take advantage of them.
The entire royal family of Tamerlane was shocked and angry, but was unable to send troops!
This continued for two months. The entire Timur Kingdom had lost twenty cities.
This is the result of the Ming army's swaying attack.
Timurid sued for peace and exchanged the detained Ming envoys Fu An, Yang Dewen and others.
Li Jinglong ceased the war and negotiated peace with the envoys of Timur.
However, after talking for two days, the Timurid envoy left with anger on his face.
"The people of Ming Dynasty are too greedy!"
"How dare they ask for so much property?"
"With so much property, more than half of the national treasury can be moved away!"
"This is the money I've been waiting to seize within this year!"
"war!"
"How can we be afraid of those Ming people!"
"I don't believe it. The Ming Dynasty only has 50,000 troops. How many firearms and bombs can they carry..."
And in a large city in the easternmost part of Timur's country.
Fu An, Yang Dewen and others also admonished Li Jinglong with surprised faces.
"Dear Duke Cao, the compensation you demand from the Timur Kingdom, not from the Timur Kingdom, but from the petty official, is too much!"
Li Jinglong smiled faintly and said, "Can't we get the Timur Kingdom?"
Fu An pondered for a moment and then replied: "The Timurid Kingdom has been fighting for decades, slaughtering dozens of surrounding countries, and plundering countless gold and silver treasures!
Although Duke Cao asked for a lot, he could still get it if Timur gritted his teeth! "
"Can they take it out?"
Li Jinglong was shocked.
Seeing this, Fu An and Yang Dewen were also surprised, "Cao Guogong doesn't want peace talks?"
"If you can fight, you will fight!"
As he spoke, Li Jinglong sighed with some regret, "It's just that although the Timurid Kingdom has lost 300,000 elite soldiers, it can still gather this 150,000 troops to guard the front of my army.
If we attack blindly, although we can break it, there will definitely be countless armies and cities behind us, and our army will suffer heavy casualties, and the gain will not be worth the loss! "
"Cao Guogong is wise!"
Fu An, Yang Dewen and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"In the past few decades, under the leadership of Timur, the entire Timur Kingdom has been fighting everywhere, slaughtering cities and destroying countries. The entire Timur Kingdom is at least half the size of our Ming Dynasty.
In addition, it has a large population.
In addition, the entire Timurid Kingdom is very warlike!
If Cao Guogong insists on attacking with force, even if we capture it, our Ming army will suffer heavy losses!
Moreover, this place is thousands of miles away from our Ming Dynasty, so supplies are inconvenient..."
"I see!"
Li Jinglong nodded slightly, and then said with a fierce expression, "But if they don't compensate, they will be beaten again if they deserve it!"
"Gong Cao Guo!"
Fu An, Yang Dewen and others looked anxious. They had truly seen the bravery of Timur's generals.
If this happens, Daming will suffer a big loss!
Li Jinglong waved his hand, "You don't need to say anything. Timur's country is so ambitious that the following offenders dare to detain the envoys of our Ming Dynasty and invade our Ming Dynasty. This time we must beat them hard and scare them!"
"You don't have to worry. Although Timur's soldiers and generals are brave, our Ming soldiers are not bad at all.
Otherwise, I, the Ming Dynasty, would not have destroyed hundreds of thousands of Timur soldiers and generals, and even invaded their country! "
Fu An, Yang Dewen and others couldn't help but be startled.
Immediately, he saluted Li Jinglong respectfully.
"Please forgive me, Mr. Cao Guo. It's the officials and others who are worried!"
"Ok!"
Li Jinglong nodded slightly, and then let Fu An, Yang Dewen and others go down.
Then, the generals were summoned to discuss which city to attack.
A few days later.
The war resumes.
The firearms and bombs of the Ming army seemed to be endless.
In half a month, Timur's kingdom lost tens of thousands of troops and several cities.
But the Ming army has not stopped attacking yet.
Another half month later.
The royal family and dignitaries of the Timur Kingdom finally came to a conclusion.
Harry Sultan succeeded the Timurids as emperor.
At the same time, envoys were sent to express peace talks to Li Jinglong again.
Li Jinglong still had the same attitude as last time, compensation.
Moreover, the amount of compensation was once again increased by 10%.
Although the envoys of the Timurid Kingdom were angry about this, they could only swallow their anger when they thought of the situation in which their Timurid Kingdom was being attacked from all sides.
pay!
A month later.
The compensation from the Timur Kingdom has been sent to the city in the south of the Timur Kingdom and handed over to the Daming Navy.
After receiving the letter from the Ming Navy, Li Jinglong began to return eastward with the gold, silver, jewelry and supplies they had seized in the past few months.
Simultaneously.
The Ming navy also began to return.
The whole country of Timur finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Immediately afterwards, the Timurid Kingdom, which was full of anger, began to send troops crazily in all directions to retaliate against the small countries that took advantage of the situation.
Simultaneously.
Timur's country also began to have civil strife.
The leader among them is Shaharul, the fourth son of Tamerlane.
A month later.
The emperor of Tamerlane has changed again!
Li Jinglong didn't know this.
At this moment, he was leading the 50,000 Ming army back eastward with difficulty.
When they first started chasing Harry Sultan's defeated army, they didn't feel much.
However, when I go back, I really feel that this road is difficult to walk.
And this will.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was singing and dancing.
The fields are full of grain.
The entire Ming Dynasty was also enjoying the fruits of victory after the defeat of Oara and Timur's northern expedition.
This time, Daming made a lot of money!
