I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 451 Negotiation?late!Capture Samarkand!

The moment when Sapphire appeared.

Tamerlane knew that it was on another battlefield.

His 50-strong army was also defeated!

The coalition army of 200 million couldn't defeat the Ming Dynasty's army of only [-]!What is it that made Ming Dynasty so powerful? !

Zhu Yunxian!
That's right!Just these three simple words!

It was he who changed the Ming Dynasty!
Let Daming completely take a different path!It also gave Ming's army such powerful combat effectiveness!
Those powerful firearms!There are also artillery pieces like landslides!

And that extremely terrifying black weapon!The spitting tongues of fire took away the lives of at least tens of thousands of people in Timur's empire!

It can be called the god of death!

And at the same time.

It’s also Lan Yu and people like Zhu Di!

And all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!

Showing unprecedented fighting spirit!
It was all these factors that contributed to Timur's failure!

"It's ridiculous, I, Tamerlane, am invincible throughout my life!"

"We were defeated by the Ming Dynasty's mere [-] troops! I, Timur, refuse to accept it!"

Timur felt his eyes go dark.

Instantly passed out and fell to the ground.

unconscious.

The guards beside him quickly put Timur on the horse and escorted him away.

But with Timur's departure.

It seemed as if the last trace of energy from Timur's army was taken away.

After all, the reason why Timur's army was able to withstand such heavy casualties was because their commander was Tamerlane!
This invincible Khan travels across Central Asia and roams the grasslands!

But now... Timur has fallen!And Timur's army, which they had always thought was invincible, also failed!

Almost instantly.

The entire Timur army became defeated.

Spread out.

Complete defeat!

At the rear, the remaining coalition forces naturally collapsed immediately when they saw that Timur was defeated.

Or even directly change the direction of attack.

He turned around and went to plunder the people in Timur's empire.

Anyway, Timur has been defeated!

……

Ming army camp.

It is also not far from Samarkand, the capital of the Timurid Empire!
night!
Lan Yu and Zhu Di reunited.

"Report!"

"Your Highness King Yan, General Lan Yu, our Ming army suffered a total of 3000 and 71 casualties in this battle!"

"Among them, 850 are dead or seriously injured!"

"The rest are all minor injuries!"

Hear the news.

Lan Yu and Zhu Di both looked solemn.

Although this battle was won.

But in the face of Timur's army, which is truly an elite force in hundreds of battles, it would be sheer fantasy to avoid any losses.

And in this day and age.

And being in a foreign country, being seriously injured is basically equivalent to death.

I just don’t know how many will survive in the end.

These more than 1000 people may have to be completely buried in a foreign land!Stay in this distant overseas forever!
"All right."

"Serving your country and dying in battle is not a bad thing!"

"This is the honor of our soldiers!"

"It's also a vocation!"

"As long as they win, their sacrifices will be valuable!"

"In this battle, General Lan Yu and I defeated the enemy's 200 million coalition forces! It also caused Timur's million-strong army to be completely lost!"

"Next, we must find a way to capture Samarkand in one fell swoop!"

"Tamerlane is captured!"

Zhu Di comforted everyone.

It also shifted everyone's attention to the majestic city in front of them.

Samarkand.

The capital of the Timur Empire was also a prosperous city. In ancient times, the Chinese Silk Road passed through here.

Here is the distribution center for goods from East Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, and even Europe!

And the Timur Empire relied on these to have the capital to conquer the world!
This place is also extremely important to Ming Dynasty, because only by winning here can Timur completely give up his ambitions!

At the same time, it can also completely open up the entire Asian market for Daming!
Whether it's the Golden Horde in the north or the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the east!Or the Delhi Sultanate in the southeast, or the Black Sheep Dynasty in the west!
Of course, the most important thing is the Timur Empire!
As long as you open the market here, it is equivalent to owning the market in Eastern Europe and North Africa!
It is of great significance to Ming Dynasty!

Now, there is only the last step away from all this!That is to capture the city in front of you!
Samarkand!

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Zhu Di asked first.

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "What else can I say?"

"Isn't it enough to just hit him with a big cannon? Isn't that what we have been doing all along?"

"These walls cannot withstand the bombardment."

"It will collapse in a few seconds! When the time comes, if we attack it in one fell swoop, won't this city be destroyed?"

But Zhu Di shook his head.

He said: "This is not possible. Your Highness personally explained it to me before coming here."

"If you encounter a city wall, you can smash it open, but if you encounter a place where trade is prosperous, you can't be so rough."

“We must find ways to retain the local market as much as possible.”

"At that time, it will also be good for Daming."

"So to conquer Samarkand, we have to do it wisely, not by force!"

Everyone present looked attentively.

It turned out to be an order from His Highness the Grand Sun!

That must be followed!
Moreover, His Highness Taisun is considering the interests of Ming Dynasty. If the economy of Timur Empire is destroyed by then, how can Ming Dynasty still do business?

How could Daming exchange for the goods he wanted.

And dumping your own goods?
Therefore, ensuring that this place remains prosperous is a top priority! No room for error!

And at this time.

Outside the door, someone suddenly came to report the news.

Said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, General Lan Yu, there are people from the Timur Empire outside who came to discuss important matters."

Zhu Di's eyes suddenly rolled.

I suddenly had an idea in my heart.

Said: "Bring him in!"

Lan Yu was a little confused.

Said: "If you send someone here at this time, he must be negotiating peace with us. If King Yan wants to see him, is he planning to negotiate with Timur?"

But King Yan Zhu Di shook his head.

Said: "Of course not."

"However, this person should be met!"

soon.

The people sent by Timur appeared in front of King Zhu Di of Yan.

The other party first performed the courtesy of the Central Plains.

Obviously, the other party did not know anything about Daming.

You may even have been to Daming before.

I saw the other party saying: "His Royal Highness King Yan."

"The Khan asked me to come here this time to discuss the retreat with the Ming army."

"Samarkand has a high wall and a thick wall, so it is not easy to break through."

"And Timur Khan is also willing to recognize the power of Ming Dynasty and bow to Ming Dynasty. Please return to Ming Dynasty."

"If there are any conditions, I, the Timur Empire, will agree to them."

"But if the fight continues, the city of Samarkand will not be so easy to break. This will only arouse hatred between both sides."

"Let the war never end."

Envoys sent by Timur tried to impress Zhu Di.

But Zhu Di just looked at him with a smile.

He said with disdain: "Timur is very ambitious and wants to be my enemy, the Ming Dynasty!"

"Not only has it repeatedly interfered in the relationship between the Delhi Sultanate and our Ming Dynasty!"

"Instigating the treachery of the Delhi Sultanate and arresting me, a Ming businessman!"

"Your Timur Empire is even planning to invade the borders of our Ming Dynasty. Don't you think our Ming Dynasty doesn't know that?!"

"You want to negotiate for me to withdraw my troops now?" "It's too late!"

"Go back and tell him Timur, wash your neck and wait!"

"Sooner or later, the Ming army will conquer Samarkand!"

"I would like to see if the city wall of Samarkand can withstand several rounds of bombardment?"

When Zhu Di mentioned the Ming Dynasty's cannon.

The messenger sent by Tamerlane visibly trembled.

Obviously, Ming's artillery caused a great shock to the opponent.

Still can't calm down.

Zhu Di saw this.

He continued: "Timur has nothing to think about, but you still have to discuss it."

"The person who wants to invade our Ming border is Timur."

"You are just forced by their power."

"If you, at this moment, turn against you and surrender with courtesy, my Ming Dynasty has always valued peace, so it may not be impossible for you to let you live."

"When you go back, think about it carefully."

"Should I be buried with Timur! Or choose a way to survive!"

opposite.

Timur's envoy was shocked.

Did Zhu Di want them to betray Timur? !
Rebellion and dedication of the city? !
"This..." Timur's envoy immediately wanted to say that this was absolutely impossible!

But the words came to his lips.

But I couldn't say anything.

He is very clear.

Samarkand simply cannot withstand the power of the Ming Dynasty's artillery!
So it's time.

The capture of Samarkand is an established fact!
And they, Timur's men, will only die when the time comes!But if they rebel at this time... and surrender to the Ming army, there might be a glimmer of hope!
"Thank you, His Highness King Yan."

"I'll go back and think about it carefully."

Timur's envoys did not refuse.

As he said, he needs to go back and think about it!After all, it is not that easy to rebel under Timur's close surveillance!

But this idea has already begun to appear!

It’s only a matter of time before you rebel!
After Timur's envoy left, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Just wait."

"It won't be long."

"This city of Samarkand belongs to us!"

"And he, Timur, will also come to his own end!"

……

Samarkand.

Timur's palace.

Timur was so angry that he vomited blood. After he came back, he had a high fever.

The whole person is extremely weak.

This failure was a huge blow to him!I think Timur was invincible in Central Asia, but facing the Ming Dynasty, he was like an underage child!
There is no way to fight back!

How can this not make him uncomfortable?
After all, the more powerful Ming Dynasty is, the more it means that his wish to revive the grassland empire and restore the glory of the grassland empire cannot be realized!
Daming is a mountain he can never cross!

"What's going on with the Ming army outside the city?"

Timur asked weakly.

below.

A group of Timur's confidants replied: "There has been no movement from the Ming army in recent days."

"And the final reinforcements from our tribes are also on their way."

"There are nearly [-] troops in the city of Samarkand, but...most of them are defeated troops and their combat effectiveness is not high."

One hundred thousand!It seems like a lot in normal times, but in front of the Ming army, it really isn't enough!

"If the Ming army attacks the city..."

"I'm afraid it's hard to resist!"

heard.

Timur was even more worried.

Feeling out of breath.

Asked: "What about the coalition forces from other countries?!"

"Don't they still have an army of 100 million?! Where have they gone?!"

Timur asked eagerly.

But his subordinate's answer made his heart suddenly freeze.

"They... are currently looting within our borders."

"At the same time, they are sending troops to invade our territory!"

"They... are no longer trustworthy! They are no longer our allies!"

Timur's eyes went dark again.

Almost fainted.

Look up at the ceiling.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Why... my life, Timur! Is this all?!"

"My long-cherished wish has not come true yet!"

"The empire I built with my own hands has not yet been passed down!"

"Is it going to perish?!"

Timur didn't want to believe it.

From heaven to hell, it was just a matter of a thought!If Ming had not been angered, he would still be a powerful leader!

He is the overlord of Central Asia!

The army in hand exceeds one million!
The power was so great that it swept the entire Asia except the Ming Dynasty!
but now……

But it was all gone in one day!
"No, I can't give up yet!"

"My wish to revive the grassland empire has not yet come true!"

"Help me up!"

"This Khan wants to go to the city in person to supervise the battle!"

Timur forced himself to get up.

But just when he was helped up.

The palace door was kicked open with a bang!
A figure that Timur could not believe came in!

"Is...is it you?! Zhu Di?!"

"How could you be here?!"

Timur looked at Zhu Di's figure in disbelief, and the Ming army behind him!

The appearance of Zhu Di.

It caught him by surprise!

immediately.

Timur looked at the people around him angrily.

He said angrily: "One of you! Someone betrayed me!"

"Have you forgotten?!"

"I am your monarch! I am your Khan!"

"How dare you treat me like this!"

"Did you abandon your faith?! You forgot your identity! You actually got together with the Ming army!"

but.

Around Timur.

But no one responded.

Because there are all traitors around Timur!

Every one is!
They saved their lives, while Zhu Di accepted the city without any bloodshed!

The pearl on the Silk Road!

Samarkand!

"You...you..."

Timur was completely furious.

Waving his weak fists, he beat these traitors.

Zhu Di and others were just three steps away.

Watching this majestic Central Asian overlord go from a Turkic aristocratic family to killing his closest brother and succeeding to the position of Khan of the Chagatai Khanate.

Then go to the north to conquer the Chachin Khanate and the Golden Horde Khanate!
Conquer the Ottoman Empire!
Conquer the Mamluk Dynasty in Egypt south!

Conquer the Delhi Sultanate!
Another powerful grassland empire was established!

So far, he has been completely defeated by Ming Dynasty!
Betrayed by those around you!
Although Timur's life ended in failure, his achievements were also extremely brilliant!
So Zhu Di did not stop him!
No shame either!
Instead, he watched quietly, watching Timur die in despair, exhausted mentally and physically, in his own capital, on his own bed!
This hero of Central Asia!
The overlord of the same era as Lao Zhu!

Finally defeated in the hands of Ming Dynasty!

Since then.

There will be no more Timur Empire!
