my days with tyrants

Chapter 351 Do it, Your Excellency!
Jianwen sent Chen Cheng, the emissary sent by Zhu Di in the original history, but Chen Cheng's current status is much higher than the original history...

"There is no way to verify what Chen Shilang said. I only know that the emperor is the emperor in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is a male emperor or a female emperor, the emperor is the one in the capital.

As for brothers competing for the throne, these are also normal.

But the winner is the emperor. "

Timur looked at Chen Cheng who was sitting on the cushion.

The latter set sail from Guangzhou to Basra under the escort of three navy warships as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Jianwen Dynasty, and was sent by Timur's people who stayed behind in Baghdad.

Of course, it was not just to escort him on a mission. In fact, it was mainly because Guangdong businessmen wanted to open up further trade routes.

Because the technology of schooners is becoming more and more mature, the voyage from Daming to the Middle East is greatly shortened. Although these schooners are not suitable for the transportation of large quantities of goods, the current level of profit from maritime trade is not comparable to that in the [-]th century, so even lightly loaded schooners can run This line is still profitable...

In terms of making money, we must trust the integrity of Cantonese businessmen, they don't care about distance.

So it happened to be under the banner of escorting Chen Cheng as an envoy. As for the communication between Chen Cheng and Timur, this is not a problem. Of course, Jianwen sent Chen Cheng because he knew Mongolian. He was sent to the Western Regions, and more importantly, Jianwen can rest assured of his position, because his family belongs to Jishui, and he has a close relationship with Fang Xiaoru. Originally, he was exiled by Zhu Di for three years because of this in history.

"Your Majesty, why is Mongolia declining? Isn't it because brothers are fighting for the throne? Winning is the emperor. It seems reasonable, but everyone wants to be emperor, so everyone wants to win. Brothers kill each other, and even father and son kill each other. In the end, the broken country was seized by outsiders. The king is sitting in the Western Regions, don’t you want to pass it on to the heir you want to pass on, but want them to win the throne? Then you are not afraid that your descendants will kill each other after you, and finally Kill the country to pieces, and let outsiders take advantage of it?

The Ming Dynasty established a general rule, established the order of the elders and the younger, and the distinction between the son and the concubine, so that the succession of the country is orderly, and it is the law of all generations, so that the country will have long-term stability. "

Chen Cheng said.

He was cunning and directly addressed Timur with a very important question...

Heir.

The heir chosen by Timur is Pier Ma Heima, but if you think about it, you know that under their system, there is no problem that the selection will work.

It's fortunate that Milan Shah was hacked by Yang Feng, otherwise this guy would definitely rebel and seize the throne after his death.

But even though Milan Shah is dead, his sons are all strong and strong.

There is also Shah Ruh who is known for his insidiousness.

Neither are good birds.

He knew very well that the battle for the throne in Ming Dynasty would definitely happen in his own empire after his death.

But he really can’t do this kind of thing. Their system determines that this is inevitable. All cities are ruled by emirs, and the interior of the city is ruled by elders. The subjects have no national consciousness, and they only obey their elders. .The elders submit to the emirs of the cities, and the emirs submit to the sultan, so if the sultan is gone and needs to be replaced, then all the emirs can give it a try as long as they have enough strength.

He can't change this essence, their system is like this.

"Then what is the order of succession for the Emperor of Guangzhou?"

Timur said.

"Your Majesty is the eldest son, and the first emperor is the second son, but they are not the same biological mother. The first emperor's mother passed away a long time ago, but her mother is the daughter of King Zhongwu of Kaiping. The latter is the main hero of the Taizu Dingding, and the army is full of his former troops. , Liang Guo Gong Lanyu is his wife and brother, so the late emperor had the support of the generals in the army. The Taizu was confused by Yang Feng, who claimed to be a person 600 years later and knew about the future of Ming Dynasty. He tricked Taizu into saying that His Majesty will succeed. It will cause chaos in the world, so Taizu was bewitched by him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he appeased the generals in the army and made the first emperor his successor.

But the late emperor had always been suspicious of his majesty, and wanted to kill him shortly after succeeding to the throne. The late emperor had no choice but to ask his uncles, but he didn't want to entrust him with someone wrong. His Majesty had to flee south.

Now the King of Yan has the land of the Western Regions, and Yang Feng takes a baby girl as the emperor, and he uses the hand of Princess Hanshan to control the government and disrupt the world to usurp the Great Ming Dynasty.

Although the king is a vassal, he also has the responsibility of eradicating traitors for the country. If the king is willing to march eastward with a large army, your majesty will go north with a large army. "

Chen Cheng said.

"However, how can I know the truth of what Shi Lang said? My place is far away from Daming, so what I can know is nothing more than hearsay. Chen Shi Lang was sent by Guangzhou. Naturally, he said something that is beneficial to the Emperor of Guangzhou. Even if he deceives me I can’t tell the difference. But if that’s the case, it’s really absurd, how can a baby girl be the emperor in this world, since I’m a minister of Ming Dynasty, of course I can’t watch Daming Jiangshan being taken away by outsiders.”

Timur said as if loyal and courageous.

"Your Majesty can send someone to the capital to investigate.

In addition, I have something to report to the King of Ming Dynasty. Yang Feng is extremely hostile to your religion, and has been pushing away Semu adherents in Daming territory all these years. "

Chen Cheng said.

"Not necessarily, I heard that a Semu person is being reused by him, and there are even rumors in the Western Regions."

Timur said.

"Uh, what did your Majesty say was Tie Xuan?
Could it be that Wang Zhiming still can't see that Yang Fengming's emphatic use of Tie Xuan has caused not only his whole family, but also his clan and even his in-laws to suffer misfortune? "

Chen Cheng said.

Of course they understand about Tie Xuan. After all, Xie Jin was involved in the plan, but it was beneficial to the Jianwen Dynasty, so they deliberately didn't say it. It was Yang Feng's public land law plan that forced the gentry on the vast land of Jiangxi Lake He had to invest in the Jianwen Dynasty, including his hometown Ji'an.But there is no need to hide it here, just clarify it to Timur. He then told Timur the truth of the whole plan, because there were too many things involved, and the latter took a while to sort it out.

"But even so, it can't be said that Yang Feng is hostile to Semu. I have to find out about this matter."

Timur said.

Would he really care about such a trivial matter when he slaughtered millions or even tens of millions of his fellow disciples by himself?

Besides, do you need someone else to tell him about such a trivial matter?
The last time Yang Feng raided the Western Regions, who did the most harm in the end?

but……

Yang Fengkeng's death is nothing compared to his murder!

Yang Feng caused the sharp drop in the population of Eastern Chagatai at most, but he caused the sharp drop in the population of the entire Central Asia, West Asia, Middle East, and even South Asia. If he hadn't massacred the city in Beergosarai, the Golden Horde would not have been destroyed by Zhu Di. Tens of thousands of people drilled through most of the country and then occupied the capital?Of course, this is not important, the key is that what everyone really needs to talk about has not been talked about yet.

Chen Cheng looked at him quietly...

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty accepts His Majesty's order, I will ship thirty siege cannons to Basra by sea by the end of the year, plus three thousand divine guns."

He said.

"Why not the craftsman who casts cannons and makes magical machine guns?"

Timur said with a smile.

This is the real dry goods, this is what he wants most, and he is the one who values ​​technology the most.

"If Your Majesty is willing to sever contact with Yang Feng, send troops to capture Guihua City, kill Yang Feng's concubine, and spread the message to the world with a call for Yang Feng, then these craftsmen will be fine."

Chen Cheng said.

Everyone understands that what level of benefits you want, you have to show what level of sincerity. It is useless to support Jianwen, and it is useless to accept Jianwen canonization. In Zhan, or Guihua City, kill Yang Feng’s concubine, it’s better to kill it outrageously, that will prove that you won’t step on two boats anymore, and then you will be eligible to ask for cannon craftsmen and so on. .In the end, although Jianwen came to win over Timur, this wooing is not just being taken advantage of. Timur is indeed the strongest foreign aid that Jianwen can think of, but he is too far away, and Jianwen does not know how much he can do. Timur The most eastward movement of Er Shi's division is to contain Yang Feng's northwest armies.

More importantly, Yang Feng was not the first person Timur faced when he swung his troops eastward.

"The waiter doesn't believe me?"

Timur said.

"Your Majesty, you are not the only king of the Western Regions, don't forget that there is also King Yan."

Chen Cheng said.

If you ask us to pay a big price, you must have this qualification. Even if you agree to send troops to the east, you must convince us that you can pass the test of King Yan. If you cannot pass the test of King Yan, then we can say yes It's no use anymore.

"King Yan, you don't know where King Yan is now, do you?"

Timur sneered.

Then he looked outside...

"Jean Yedi should come in!"

He said.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Di should hastily walked into the big tent.

"Chen Shilang, this is a member of the Golden Horde Khan. You can treat him as the Prime Minister of the Golden Horde Khan and ask him to tell you where King Yan is now. You can use Mongolian."

He said.

The latter immediately looked at Chen Cheng,

"Your King Yan was besieged by our 20 troops in Beergosarai because his army went deep alone. He has been besieged for almost four months."

He said.

Of course, he beautified the actual situation, the fact is that they are not surrounded by any troops in Bergosarai.

But then he took out a flintlock...

"What's the word on it?"

He said.

"Yanshan Zhongwei, this is the cavalry flintlock made by the Zunhua Iron Works for the Yanwang guards. You really surrounded the Yanwang?"

Chen Cheng looked at the inscription on it with surprise.

This is the best evidence. This thing was custom-made by the guards of the King of Yan. This short gun is in the hands of Yedi. If his identity is not a lie by Timur, then at least it proves that Zhu Di's guards fought against the Golden Horde. And there were certain losses, even this kind of weapon fell into the hands of the Golden Horde.The biggest obstacle to Timur's eastward advance is Zhu Di, but if Zhu Di died in the Golden Horde, then Timur will send his troops eastward, and no one can stop him before reaching Jiayuguan.

At that time, Yang Feng would definitely fight in person. If Yang Feng led his troops to leave the capital, the imperial court had every hope that the army would go north and take the capital in one fell swoop.

but……

"Your Majesty, what I have said is very clear. If Your Majesty fights against Yang Ni, then the west of Jiayuguan will belong to His Majesty. The Ming Dynasty had no intention of the Western Regions. The last expedition of King Yan to the west was only to pursue Can Yuan. It was Yang Feng who deliberately lured King Yan to go south. The poisoning of the Western Regions caused the lives of all the people in the Western Regions to be devastated. The Ming Dynasty had no intention of going to the river, and the King of Yan also went south to the river on his own initiative, corresponding to Yang Feng's north and south. Do not leave home and migrate to the Western Regions.

Now His Majesty has no intention of continuing to make the people suffer, so the west of Jiayuguan is the king's fiefdom. As long as the King continues to pay tribute to the ministers, His Majesty and the King will always be friendly. "

Chen Cheng said.

Although he didn't say anything, he already said it very clearly.

If you have the ability to kill King Yan, then the west of Jiayuguan is yours. If you don’t have the ability to kill King Yan, then you have no ability.

"Chen Shilang has worked hard all the way, please go and rest first!"

Timur said.

Chen Cheng got up immediately and was taken to rest.

"Sudan, don't miss this opportunity. The Ming people rely on firearms, but firearms can't supply ammunition in Bergosarai. They estimate that more than half of the ammunition will be consumed all the way to Bergosarai. As long as the Sultan sends another 20 troops, there will be more than half of the ammunition." The siege of 50 troops is enough to kill them all in Bergosarai. At that time, those who dare not fight against the sultan at all, like Haji, Mahama, and even Nahisdhan, will all surrender to the king As for Guilichi, Ugqihashiha, as long as they are willing to lead them to rob, they don't care who they follow, they just want to rob, we can add up to at least [-] troops, with this force, we will destroy the Ming people All enough.

Then you are the new Genghis Khan. "

Ye Di should say.

Timur frowned, still hesitating...

This is indeed his dream, but the problem is that he has to face Yang Feng like this!

This devil-like man was like a heavy mountain on top of his head, making him feel suffocated all the time, and he had to consider Bayezid behind him, who was also fatal, because Bayezid was influenced by the Arabs. If he goes east to fight Yang Feng, and Bayezid takes the opportunity to stab him in the back, Arabs, even Persians, Georgians, and Armenians will all welcome Wang Shi.In other words, unless he wins against Yang Feng, he will have to retreat even if he fights Bayezid. Even if he fails, he will have a retreat. Xiangdong can only win, and failure means the collapse of the empire.

As for faith...

Did he think about it when he slaughtered Baghdad?

Did he consider this question during the massacre of Isfahan?

Since he has never considered this issue, why should Arabs and Persians consider this issue?

"Sudan, if the Sudan is like this, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be lost. I am willing to follow the Sudan. I only regard the Sudan as a world-class hero who can conquer countries for the gods and make everyone bow down to the gods. Now the Sudan dare not even attack the enemies that are at your fingertips. In the future Why should I follow the Sultan?"

Ye Di should say.

"Sultan, don't hesitate!"

"Sudan, we have endured the Ming people for a long time, if we continue to bow our knees to them, who is willing to submit to us?"

……

Immediately afterwards, the generals who had been waiting outside poured in, expressing their positions to Timur one by one.
