Chapter 1658: Those things in these years

In the 29th year of Hongwu (AD 1396), the Ottoman Turkish Empire defeated the Crusaders of Hungary, France, Germany and other countries in one fell swoop in the Battle of Nicoburg, and tens of thousands of Crusaders were captured. (138 reading, novels are faster and better. 138 reading.)

After this battle, European Catholic countries suffered heavy losses, and they were no longer able to stop the expansion of the Ottoman Turkish Empire to Europe.

The Byzantine Empire, that is, the Eastern Roman Empire, was about to be annexed, and Constantinople was at stake.It is very likely that in the next battle, it will be declared dead.

At this critical moment, the Timurid Empire, a descendant of the Mongol Empire in Central Asia, rose up and was invincible in its conquests from east to west.

In the fourth year of Jianwen (1402 A.D.), it was the final critical stage of Zhu Dijing's difficult battle. King Yan's army had surrounded Jinling, the imperial capital. At this time, the Timurid Empire launched an attack on the Ottoman Turkish Empire.Plane Travel Guide 1658

In the Battle of Ankara, the Timurid Empire won a complete victory, and even captured the sultans of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

This battle not only shattered the Ottoman Turkish Empire's dream of dominance, but also saved the fate of the European Byzantine Empire in a sense, at least allowing it to linger for decades.

For a time, the reputation of the Timur Empire rose so much that almost all the surrounding countries were frightened.

After defeating the powerful Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Timurid Empire looked around in a daze, and found that there were no opponents around to fight.

So they turned their attention to East Asia, and Timur attempted to launch an attack on the Ming Empire in order to reconquer the Central Plains and restore the glory of the Mongol Empire.

In the winter of November in the second year of Yongle (AD 1404), the Timurid Empire raised 11 elite troops to march towards Daming.

At that time, the Ming Empire had just ended the civil strife of the Jingnan Battle, and the domestic political situation had not completely stabilized in fact.

Although Zhu Di has a strong army just after the battle of Jingnan, the invincible army of the Timur Empire that swept across South Asia, West Asia and Central Asia is also extremely powerful. No one can say what kind of sparks will be produced after the encounter between the two sides. .

Even though Zhu Di, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, was exceptionally strong, he felt tremendous pressure on his face after learning this information.

As a result, who would have thought that Emperor Timur, who created the infinite glory of the Timur Empire, died of illness in February of the third year of Yongle (AD 3) on the way to enter the Ming Dynasty, which led to the confrontation between the Timur Empire and the Ming Empire. end.

With the death of Timur, the army of the Timur Empire retreated to the country, and several princes also began to compete for the throne.

The Timurid Empire, which was once rampant for a while, suddenly fell apart, and many countries conquered by them also broke out in civil strife at this time, which once caused the rule of the Timurid Empire to be seriously shaken.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire ended its domestic division at this time, because the defeat in the Battle of Ankara to the Timurid Empire followed by the capture of the Sudan led to the chaos of the four princes in the country and finally came to an end.

The new Sultan Muhammad I, taking advantage of the internal strife in the Timur Empire, began to gradually recover the territories that had been forcibly seized by the Timur Empire in the 11th year of Yongle, and basically recovered the fallen land in the 19th year of Yongle.

At this time, it was not long before Tang Shangxian came to the Daming capital, and then began his legendary life.

In the spring of the 23rd year of Yongle (AD 1425), the Shenji Camp of the Ming Empire basically completed the annexation of the Timurid Empire.

After getting the news, although he knew it was an inevitable result, Zhu Di still felt refreshed, and had a drink with the national teacher Tang Shangxian on the night he got the news.

Recalling the nervousness when I learned 20 years ago that the Timurid Empire established by the descendants of the Mongol Empire sent 20 elite soldiers to attack the Ming Dynasty, it really feels like a lifetime ago.

Ming Chengzu was not a broad-minded person. He immediately ordered all the royal daughters of the Timurid Empire to be taken back to the country, and they were generously rewarded to the court's meritorious officials. palace.Plane Travel Guide 1658

Why is the Timur Empire so powerful and invincible that it dares to spy on the divine artifact of the Nine Tripods of China?If your Mengyuan Empire can be driven back to Mobei by my father, I, Zhu Di, can completely crush you.

In this case, if Ming Chengzu didn't come back with revenge, it would not be Zhu Di's personality at all!

After all the resistance forces in the entire Timurid Empire were bloodily wiped out, they almost couldn't wait to start dividing up the vassal states.

The huge territory of Central Asia, South Asia, and West Asia originally occupied by the Timurid Empire was quickly divided into more than a dozen fragmented parts and sealed to domestic meritorious ministers.

As the conquest of the Ming Empire did not stop at all and became faster and faster, almost everyone in the domestic court felt crazy.That kind of hard work does not distinguish between civil servants and military officials.

What's more, Zhu Di also proved this point with his own actions. No matter whether he was a civil servant or a military general, whoever made meritorious deeds enough to confer a title would entrust a piece of territory without hesitation.

This kind of reward is more effective than any incentive, and it is very significant.

And in the past few years, almost no domestic officials have stared at the little profit in front of them and started to corrupt gold and silver. Everyone was shocked by the emperor's big money again and again, and everyone thought that they could be awarded one day after they could do their best. The princes of the country.

The territory of the Ming Empire is too vast, no matter how many princes are entrusted to establish a country, it may not be used up, and no one can resist this temptation.

It is the lifelong pursuit of almost all ambitious people in China to pass on their wives and cute children from generation to generation.

As the centralization system becomes more and more stable, everyone knows that the dream of feudal princes passed down from generation to generation is basically over.

But I didn't expect that the ancient feudal system would be revived again in the hands of Shangxian Tang. More and more people have the ambition to divide the land and divide the territory. Who doesn't want to be the princely head of a country?

Even if it can't become a behemoth like the Ming Empire, it can become a vassal state like Qin, Chu, Yan, Jin, Qilu, Wuyue under Zhou Tianzi's ancestral spirit!

It was this kind of mentality that led to the domestic economic leap of the Ming Empire in the past few years-many officials did not take the royal affairs seriously in order to reward them for meritorious service.

Tang Shangxian, the national teacher, even made known the map of the world (world map) to let more people know how broad prospects are waiting for everyone in the future, so as to inspire everyone to fight endlessly.

Sure enough, the officials who were able to see the beautiful blueprint for the future with their own eyes almost began to burn their lives to fight.

A very good cycle has led to the smoother and smoother conquests of the Ming Empire in the past few years, and its reputation has begun to spread.

Because the speed of the Ming Empire's conquest of other countries was too fast, it simply did not conform to everyone's cognition in the current era, which directly caused a lot of delays in the dissemination of news - after all, the dissemination of information at this time was still through word of mouth.

It is said that the speed of the army's conquest would not exceed the frequency of businessmen's exchanges, but the Ming Empire broke this restriction.

In many cases, perhaps the merchants of a certain perishing country have not left their homeland, and the next country is destroyed by the Shenji camp.

The territory of the Ming Empire is expanding at any time, and the time it takes for Shenjiying to conquer a country is extremely short.

Due to the astonishing combat effectiveness of the Shenji Battalion, often only a few brigades are needed to conquer a country.And the logistical pressure of the Shenji Battalion is extremely small, and with the comprehensive strength of the Ming Empire, it can even support operations in several directions at the same time.Plane Travel Guide 1658

Nowadays, Tang Shangxian has set up a factory in China for all the production of munitions. It is fully automated and controlled by artificial intelligence-anyway, it is all consumed and supplemented by bullets and shells, so it is not difficult.

All the arms orders were paid for by Zhu Di's war dividends, and Tang Shangxian was very happy to give them.The Shenji Battalion basically does not need to consider the loss of ammunition, and food support can be easily handled domestically.

Originally, there was also a problem of adapting to the geographical climate that might delay the war speed of the Shenji Battalion. As a result, Tang Shangxian directly injected various vaccines to all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion before going out to ensure medical health.

Since then, there will no longer be any factors that can stop the Shenji Battalion from conquering the world. The enemy's backwardness is basically a gap like a natural moat across the ages.

Until the army of Shenjiying defeated the Ottoman Turkish Empire and killed the contemporary Sultan Murad II on the spot, the forward of the Ming Empire had already approached the heart of the Byzantine Empire.

In the history known to Tang Shaozhe in another time and space, Murad II, the contemporary Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, will completely defeat the last European Crusaders in the Middle Ages in the Battle of Varna 19 years later, smashing the Catholic counterattack.

As a result, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which made the whole of Europe tremble, suddenly fell at the feet of the Shenji Camp of the Ming Empire. This news shocked the whole of Europe.

However, Europe at this time was also in an extremely chaotic era. The Goddess Cult emerging from France attracted the attention of the entire Catholic world.

Under the leadership of Joan of Arc, the speed of development of the Goddess Cult can almost be described as the spread of the plague.

As the Goddess Cult regained the capital Paris from the British, Joan of Arc established the first miracle temple overnight by means of the goddess' apparition and blessed the king of France to be crowned and enthroned. The strength of the French army has begun to be unstoppable.

As the King of France became the first faithful royal believer of the Goddess Cult, the French army almost swept away and drove the British back to their hometown of the British Isles.

But the Holy See stood up at this time. The Pope would never allow the Goddess Cult that emerged in France to form a domino effect in Europe, and then issued a wanted order directed at France.

At this time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the enemy of the Catholic Church, fell into civil strife and was gathering the lost territories captured by the Timurid Empire, so the Holy See called on Spain, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands and many other countries Form a United Crusade and wage war on France.
