Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 356 This is not invasion, this is recovery
The most basic execution power has nothing to do with them.

The saber at the waist is mostly a decoration.

Going into the cell to wipe the neck of the prisoner is not allowed by the law, and secondly, ordinary jailers don't have the courage to do it with their own hands.

Taking poison would be considered suicide.

This time the incident was so big that the jailers had no other choice.

Fortunately, when people from above give orders, they will give a lot of rewards. After removing the cost of buying medicine, they earn the rest.

This wave can be regarded as a windfall.

There are only a dozen or 20 guards in a normal cell, but now there are several hundred guards in each cell.

After death, even if it is carried out and thrown to the prisoner's family, everyone has to carry dozens of them on their backs.

This turmoil in the capital, like a thunderstorm, came and went even faster.

In two or three days, more than 1 people lost their lives.

More than 1 people may seem like a lot, but in fact, it has no major impact on the entire city of Nanjing.

Perhaps the only thing that stood out was that almost all the money houses and pawnshops in the neighborhood were closed and sealed.

According to the current Ming law, the title deeds of these shops will be invalidated, and they will be checked into the internal funds and entered into the emperor's private treasury.

Among them, of course, are the other property of these usury merchants, which will be confiscated and confiscated.

Sometimes money is really that easy.

Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed a little.

It turns out that these merchants have so much money in their hands, if they had known about it back then, they would have stared at the merchants a lot, so they wouldn't be as embarrassed as before.

Zhu Yunwei doesn't have much feeling about money now.

His current idea is to develop internal affairs on a large scale, as well as various industrial bases, and then expand the territory of Ming Dynasty.

After three months, the Beiyuan Employment Guild has already reached a certain scale.

The direction of development now lies in the protection of caravans, especially in the Western Regions.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Zhu Yunwei called Uncle Zhang.

"If I remember correctly, there was a Mongolian member in our Chamber of Commerce earlier, he was a good Weiwu son, named Batu, right?"

Zhu Yunwei asked after reminiscing.

Over there is the branch of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce in the Golden Horde, which is very far away. Between Daming, there is a difference between the Western Regions, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and then the Golden Horde.

The spread of news is naturally very slow.

At the beginning, Zhu Yunwei ordered all Mongolian chambers of commerce to evacuate to the Western Regions, and then entered the Ming Dynasty.

The news from the Golden Horde was late, and the loss was much greater.

Among them, when Zhu Yunwei checked the information, he was deeply impressed by Batu described in the file.

In name, the Western Regions belong to Daming, so Daming cannot casually attack the Western Regions, as this will affect Daming's reputation.

The Mongols are different. They are notoriously fierce, especially the small countries in the Western Regions, who have been ravaged by Mongolian cavalry many times.

If you want to stir up the water in the pool of the Western Regions, it is naturally more convenient for the Mongols to come forward.

Zhang Bo replied: "After the Mongolian men like Batu withdrew, they have been staying in our city of heroes in the Western Regions."

"If His Highness has any orders, I think they will be able to handle them."

Zhu Yun'a nodded and said, "Send them some money and food to support them, recruit troops and horses in the Western Regions, and go out to conquer, causing chaos throughout the Western Regions."

"Bei Yuan hired a team of [-] cavalry from the mercenary guild to help Batu win more territory."

"Don't worry about logistical issues. If there's anything you can't stand, just fight it." "Timur's side should now deal with the Golden Horde.
The advantage is sufficient. Timur himself is very arrogant and thinks that he will prepare to launch troops against the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the near future. "

"Let Batu and the others participate in the past, and when they have enough troops, they will sweep the borders of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate at the same time."

"In terms of funds, take 2000 million treasure notes and gradually support the past within two years."

The Western Regions are too hip.

Especially the Western Regions now.

At the beginning, Zhu Yunwen had thousands of horses in his hands, and he could dominate the entire Western Region. However, in the Western Region, there was no point in having more territory, and the land was vast and sparsely populated, and you might not see a single person for several days.

Zhu Yun'e's original idea was also in business. Apart from building a city of heroes, she didn't deliberately conquer several countries to show force or anything. It was just for fun.

It is different now, and the integration of the Western Regions is of greater significance.

High-yield crops can still have a very good output value in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions is at the junction of Timur and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and its geographical location is also relatively important.

Although Timur died on the march in history, some things have changed. Zhu Yunwei was not sure whether he would die like that.

It's better to play it safe.

There's no need to bet on something that hasn't happened yet.

The Western Regions are too big, almost half the size of the current Ming Dynasty.

Time can only be considered in the long-term direction.

On Timur's end, the current overall situation is similar to what Zhu Yunwei expected.

When Timur got the cement formula, he naturally started a big construction without hesitation.

Timur itself attaches great importance to cavalry, and the post stations in Timur's entire territory are also extremely distributed, which is similar to Meng Yuan's idea.

Today's Timur is as imposing as a rainbow, with a powerful force fighting unscrupulously in many ways, and he has won consecutive victories all the way.

For now, in the entire Central Asian region, Timur is already a veritable overlord, and none of the surrounding countries can fight.

The Timurid Empire has a territory about the same size as the actual territory of Ming Dynasty now.

Among them, the strength is also around 200 million, not much less than that of Daming.

Unlike Daming's self-sufficient guard system, Timur's side is a slave system, that is, he uses slaves to forcefully support his army.

A large part of the army is also a slave army.

With the way of fighting to support war, Timur didn't have to worry about his lack of troops. He would always think about how to consume the slave army on hand.

Because if you consume it too slowly, it will become your own burden.

Led by Mongolian iron cavalry, these slave armies also have considerable combat effectiveness. They are said to be slaves, but in fact, many of them were the backbone of small neighboring countries in the early days.

It's not that these small countries are not well developed, but that compared with the Mongolian Khanate, they are indeed far worse. The quality of the Mongolian cavalry is equivalent to a natural gap in all aspects.

There are many plains here, and on the plains, hundreds of Mongolian cavalry can easily kill thousands of infantry.

It is a gap of ten times.

In addition, on Timur's side, the number of cavalry itself is more than the infantry of ordinary small countries, so what can they resist.

If it was more than 100 years earlier, the places where these small countries are located were still conquered by Genghis Khan.

According to Timur, this is not aggression, but recovery.

Of course, Timur only ruled the king in Central Asia.
