My Daming New Empire

Therefore, the more Timurid people killed, the safer Daming would be, and the more wealth it would rob. Daming spent tens of millions of military expenditures on this campaign to be replenished.

And Zhang Xin accomplished these two tasks very well this time.

He pursued them all the way along their retreat route, and killed more than [-] rebel warriors and civilians in Ashgabat.

The sniper forces left by the Timurids were almost wiped out, and most of the tribes fled in panic. The forces loyal to Ulugh Beg were chased by Zhang Xin, killing more than 20 people at the Trek Pass in the south of the Caspian Sea. million people.

And this battle also completely defeated the resistance of the Timurid people. They offered their wealth and surrendered to Daming.

The remaining people who were unwilling to fail had no choice but to escape along the Caspian Sea, from the south side of the Caspian Sea to the west and north.

Zhang Xin chased all the way to the Safavid tribe (later Azerbaijan), and stopped when he was blocked by steep mountains.

At this time, Ulugh Beg and the rest of the tribe had less than 50 people. They fled to the territory of the Golden Horde and marched towards Batu Sarai, the capital of the Golden Horde.

However, the Golden Horde was already in charge of the White Horde at this time, and they did not recognize Ulugh Beg, a heretic, and did not want to offend Ming for Ulugh Beg.

But their obstruction could not stop the desperate Timurids. After a great battle, Ulugh Beg occupied the riverside area not far from Batu Sarai.

At this time, Uluh Beg did not have the strength to attack the capital of the Golden Horde and make peace with the other side.

The Golden Horde had no choice but to allow the Timurs to go all the way north along the Volga River, and distributed a large area of ​​land west of the river to Ulugh Beg. (the land between Volgograd and Ukraine in later generations)

This also gave Ulugh Beg a chance to breathe, but although he temporarily settled here, he also knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time.

There are large tribes in the east, west, north, and south of this land. If the Timurids want to develop, they must continue to go west or south.

At this time, Ulugh Beg's good friend, Hajigrai, who had been marginalized in the Golden Horde Khan, sent him an invitation to lead the tribe to migrate to the southern coast of the Black Sea.

This is exactly what Ulugh Beg wanted. If a tribe wants to develop, it cannot be located in a place of hundreds of battles.With a foothold on the shore of the Black Sea, there will be no worries.

Therefore, before the arrival of winter, Ulugh Beg led his tribe all the way south, and chose a corner near the Black Sea to build the city.

Hajigrai provided a large amount of food for Ulugh Beg, and after discussion, the two decided to establish the Crimean Khanate here.

Because of the 50 ethnic groups in Ulugh Beg, Hajigrai, the founder of the Crimean Khanate, was able to establish the kingdom 20 years in advance.

Today's Timurid Kingdom has disappeared, and although Daming has made a lot of profits, it is not the biggest beneficiary.

The biggest beneficiary is not Hulumos, who wholeheartedly followed Ming Dynasty, but the Black Sheep Dynasty located in the Mesopotamia.

They had been at a disadvantage in the struggle against Timur, but now that Timur was destroyed, they were able to develop rapidly.

Even if Hulumos wants to occupy a large area of ​​land, they don't have that many people!

Faced with this situation, Zhu Di, who received a letter from Zhu Zhanji again, announced that he would hold a Persian tribal meeting in Horumos in Yongle more than [-] years ago, announcing the division of local forces.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

For the vast majority of people in later generations, he may not have heard of the Timurid Kingdom, but it is impossible not to know the Ottoman Empire, which has dominated the Eurasian continent for hundreds of years.

During the first 100 years of the Ming Dynasty, the Timurid Kingdom was at its peak, and the Ottoman Empire was almost destroyed by them, and even the king was arrested by them.

This is not the declining Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire at that time was like a mountain, and the whole of Europe was defeated by them.

King Bayezid I, who was captured by Timur, can be called a generation of famous generals. He commanded the army to wipe out the coalition forces of Serbia, Bulgaria and other countries, captured and killed his commander, Duke Lazar, and conquered Serbia and Bulgaria.

Later, he led an army to invade Hungary. In the 29th year of Hongwu, a total of 10 crusaders, including the Hungarian and Polish troops commanded by the Hungarian King Sigismund, and the British and French knights, fought in Nicoburg and won a complete victory. More than 1 knights were captured.

It was the trembling and panic-stricken European countries who were beaten, the king known as Lightning, who faced Timur from the east, became a captive, and finally died of humiliation.

It can be said that it was precisely because Timur defeated the Ottoman Empire in the first year of Yongle that Europe got a chance to breathe.

Otherwise, Ottoman had already occupied half of Europe at that time, and it would not take half a century for the Byzantine Kingdom to perish.

After Timur's death, the country that was once dominated by wars like the Mongolian Yuan was torn apart.

Neither Shahru nor Ulugh Beg fathers and sons were warlike, and they brought the Timurid kingdom into an era of prosperous cultural development. This period is known as the golden age of Chinese culture.

But now, because of Zhu Zhanji's appearance, this newly stabilized country has disappeared.

For Zhu Di, all this is perfect, his task has been completed.

Even if he dies now, he has no regrets and can go to the underworld to face his father calmly.

But for Zhu Zhanji, all this has just begun.

The historical knowledge he knows has now changed, and all changes require re-establishment of countermeasures.

Before the Spring Festival, he knew that the Ming army had launched a general offensive and surrounded Herat.

He sent Meng Ying and his servant Tao Kan, as well as Daoist Qiuming, who can make new explosives, and the raw materials for explosives.

In March, he got the news that the army had broken through Herat and the battle was going well. At this time, he had to consider the problems left after the destruction of the Timurid Kingdom.

Therefore, he sent another messenger to conduct a detailed analysis of all possible outcomes after the destruction of the entire Timurid kingdom, and gave multiple countermeasures.

Among them, how to deal with the rise of the Ottoman Empire.

Because for Zhu Zhanji, an Ottoman Empire that cut off the connection between Europe and Asia is not in the interests of Ming Dynasty.

Europeans were weak before the Ottoman Empire, not for a while, but for hundreds of years.It was not until the nineteenth century that Europe gained resources from the Americas and Africa that this balance of power was reversed.

It was the Ottoman Empire that forced Europeans to go to the sea.

Europeans did not take the initiative to go to the sea, but were forced to.Because Europe is poor and white, they have nothing, and only poor life is left.

They couldn't beat the Ottoman Empire on land. They wanted to get Asian spices, so they developed navigation as a last resort.

This leads directly to a strong Europe.

Therefore, many of his countermeasures include containing the Ottoman Empire, enhancing the trade between Europe and Asia, increasing Ming's stronghold in Europe, and expanding the share of trade.

However, he overlooked one point, that is, the benefits obtained by the Ottoman Empire were hidden, and now the Black Sheep Dynasty occupying western Persia is the first to emerge.

For Zhu Di, an Osman who was beaten by Timur and bowed his head was not worthy of attention.As for those poor people in Europe haha, they don't even put it in Zhu Di's eyes.

This is not Zhu Di's short-sightedness, but the limitations of the times.

Many modern people look down on the ancients, always thinking that they are smarter than the ancients.But who can escape the limitations of the times and think about things hundreds of years later?

Don't say that after hundreds of years, most people just muddle along, and don't even bother to think about tomorrow's affairs.

In this era, Daming has already stood at the top of the food chain, and the only one who can defeat him is Daming himself.

Now you ask Zhu Di to pay attention to a defeated subordinate, even if he listened to Zhu Zhanji's words and felt that Zhu Zhanji's words made sense, how could he care?

He is now bothering to divide the forces, mainly because he thinks what Zhu Zhanji said makes sense, a stable Central Asia will allow Daming to sell more commodities.
