my days with tyrants

Indeed, it is time for all forces in West Asia to act.

Just five days after Timur stopped attacking Tarban, Ahmed, the leader of the Zalayir tribe who claimed to be Ilhan himself, led a surprise attack on Tabriz with thousands of cavalry. The people immediately welcomed the king's teacher, Jinzhang Khan Tuotuomi and Ilhan Ahmed entered the city hand in hand.

Ilkhanate reconstruction.

In other words, this is the harmony that the two Khanates have never had before...

Well, the Ilkhanate and the Golden Horde have actually never stopped killing each other since their establishment, and even the demise of the Ilkhanate was done by the Golden Horde.

But now they are finally joining hands.

But at this time, Timur had to look angrily at the head of his grandson in the high mountains of the Caucasus...

Of course he knew there was another way through the Caucasus Mountains.

So after losing nearly [-] yuan in the attack on Daerban, he had no choice but to buy Chechens as guides and entered this mountain.

Originally, he thought that what he had to face was only the dangerous natural environment, but he didn't expect that the Ossetians, who were like fish to him, chose to join forces with the Georgians and use a single haste to overcome the majestic mountains. The built walls blocked his way.At this moment, this road is very simple. In fact, it is made of random piles of rocks and mud, and some parts are even reinforced with logs. The length of the simple city wall is only a few dozen horses connected end to end, but it has locked his grand plan...

"This is God's will. God is punishing me for killing believers over the years."

Now in his sixties, he suddenly said with a bitter expression like a dying old man.

A flagpole was erected on this city wall, on which was the head of his grandson Mirza. Of course, the opponent did not want to show off to him, but to tell him that they would fight to the last man.

That's exactly what happened.

At this moment, his soldiers, who were madly attacking the city wall, were fighting with the Georgians and Ossetians on the city wall, on the mountains on both sides of the city wall, and in all places where they could go up.

I say all the places that can go up, because most of the places can't go up.

"The majestic mountain peak soars into the sky like Tielek Daban!"

He looked at the snow-capped mountains in front of him.

"It seems higher."

He continued.

"The sultan, their myth, said that in ancient times, there was a god who stole fire from the sky to the world, and was nailed to this mountain by the king of gods as punishment."

Ye Di, who was beside him, said.

Well, Timur's intuition is correct, this place is indeed higher than Tirek Daban.

He is in Kazbek, the border between modern Georgia and Russia, but the name was named after the local powerful family in Tsarist Russia. It is more than 5000 meters above sea level. The legendary mountain where Prometheus was crucified is of course only one of them. After all, it is like this These myths and legends will eventually deduce different locations because they are spread in different ethnic groups, but this is indeed one of the most widely spread among them, and it is also a holy place for Caucasian Christians.

They even say that the manger where Jesus was born is here.

This is also the reason why Giorgi VII chose to stay here. He and the Ossetians are not like brothers. In fact, they and the Ossetians are related to the Han land and the grassland. Go down the mountain to rob the Georgians. On the contrary, when the Georgians are strong, they want to sweep the ground.But now in order to resist Timur, they can only unite, and only the Orthodox Church can unite them, so Giorgi VII chose this holy mountain as the place to defend.

"Sudan, it's time for us to withdraw. It's useless to fight here. Our food won't last long. In Daming's words, this kind of place can't be opened by one man.

If the fight continues, our food will be exhausted, and we will have to slaughter camels and war horses.

What's the use of opening it then? "

Shaharu said.

In fact, he did not expect this result at all, but the current situation is already very difficult, and the most sensible thing is to quickly withdraw to the river. As for Persia, it is not important. If they can conquer once, they can conquer the second time. As long as the elites of Hezhong and Khorasan are left behind, they will be conquerors after all.In fact, Hezhong and Khorasan, especially Khorasan, can almost be said to have stepped on Persia's head for hundreds of years. It has been suppressing Persia since the Khorasan Army back then.

It's just that the massacre of Khorasan's cities during the Mongolian Western Expedition caused the power of Khorasan to drop sharply.

"We are invincible. If even the Georgians cannot be defeated, whoever will submit to us in the future will rob them if they have no food. There are mountain people, Chechens, Circassians, and Balkars here. They all have food and livestock. Kill them." Without them we have enough to eat."

Pierre Ma Heima said angrily.

"Don't we have enough enemies? If it weren't for the Chechens to lead the way, we wouldn't even be able to get here. Do you want to turn them all into enemies?
The Ossetians are resisting us.

You want Chechens, Circassians all to resist us?
It is still too late to retreat, withdraw to the Chincha grassland, and then force those Russians to hand over food, we will have enough food to return to the river. "

Shaharu said.

Of course, when returning to the river, it is very likely that Yang Feng will also arrive.

But that was just right, his father died, he surrendered to Yang Feng, joined forces with Yang Feng to kill these nephews, and then he was the new Sultan.

"Stop arguing, retreat!"

Timur shouted.

After all, he is a hero, knowing that when it is time to retreat, he still has to retreat.

Not to mention that he can’t open it now, even if he opened it, it will be of no use. Since the Georgians have resisted him, they must have surrendered to Zhu Di long ago. He defeated the Georgians and had to walk four or five days in the mountains before he could get out. I'm afraid Zhu Di has already brought a large army waiting for him in Tiflis. Only his tired and hungry army can open Zhu Di's line of defense?
The most sensible thing to do now is to retreat, go back to the Qincha grassland to search for food, and then use the food to support the Caspian Sea and return to the river. Zhu Gaoxu cannot stop him. Although it is difficult for him to destroy Zhu Gaoxu, it is impossible for the latter to stop him of.As long as he can retreat to the river, he can still wait for Zhu Di in Khorasan. The latter will not be able to fly through Khorasan after all. After all, Khorasan and the river are his foundations, just like what Shaharu said , these conquered places can be conquered once and conquered again...

In fact he has conquered more than once.

Georgia alone has already been beaten twice by him.

As long as his Hezhong and Khorasan main forces are still there, he hasn't lost yet.

After speaking, he turned his horse's head without hesitation.

Shah Ruth immediately issued an order to retreat, and the Hezhong and Khorasan soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the Georgians withdrew quickly, and then followed their Sudan to retreat silently.

Of course, the Georgians did not dare to pursue. In fact, this result was perfect for them.

In fact, Giorgi VII is going to spend at least one-third of the army here, and now this result is already a big profit for him.

Tiflis.

"So, Timur withdrew?"

Zhu Di looked with great interest at the white stretch across the sky in the distance.

"Your Highness, I think it should be. The Ossetians followed them all the way to the Terek River. Because of the lack of food, they killed many Chechens and robbed food and livestock. They found this road by relying on The Chechens lead the way, and since the Chechens have even robbed them for food, it is obvious that they are not going to use the help of the Chechens."

Giorgi VII said.

Two years after he was driven out by Timur, he finally returned to his capital.

Yang 56's translation made Zhu Di nod his head.

"Our Daming doesn't have many requirements for the vassals, as long as they surrender, and then pay tribute regularly. This depends on the distance and the time interval. For a place as far away as yours, at most it is a tribute every three years. As for the tribute, it is all from your local area. Special products, I don’t know what your special products are, but there is an omniscient person in our Da Ming, he will set tributes for you. As for after you surrender to Da Ming, you will be protected by Da Ming. If foreign enemies invade you, you can ask Da Ming The emperor sent troops, but they could not attack each other with other Ming vassals. In addition, after surrendering to Daming, your merchants can go to Daming to trade.

No matter land or sea.

As for your title, for non-royal families in Ming Dynasty, the highest is the county king, but although the vassal king is the county king, he is actually the king of the country.

Except that you must obey the imperial decree of the Ming Emperor, everything else is up to you. "

Zhu Di said.

Yang 56 hurriedly translated it for King Giorgi VII.

"Teach him manners!"

Then Zhu Di said.

Yang 56 hurriedly said a few words to King Giorgi VII, and then bowed down to Zhu Di himself.

King Giorgi VII hesitated for a moment, but seeing the endless cavalry behind Zhu Di, he knelt down for him honestly, and after kowtowing, Zhu Di helped him up...

"This is me accepting your surrender on behalf of Emperor Ming, but you and I have no identity, and we will be brothers from now on."

he said with a smile.

brother……

Since they were brothers, it was easy to handle. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di and King Giorgi VII joined hands and entered Tiflis amid the cheers of the Georgians.

And on the same day, Shirvan Shah Ibrahim I, who had been hiding in the mountains, also led his soldiers to find Kun Timur in Baku, and then professed his ministers to Daming and reported to Kun Timur. After Zhu Di, Zhu Di also promised to Ibrahim I that he would also ask the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to make him the county king and then the king of Shirvan, so that all the cities of Shirvan would open their gates to welcome the king.After Zhu Di returned from Tiflis, Ibrahim I was already waiting to welcome the king in his border city of Ganja, and as compensation for his late surrender, he presented a large number of gifts to Zhu Di.

So far, the Caucasus and Western Persia have all paid tribute to Ming Dynasty.

As for the Armenians, they are still electing their own king. Zhu Di generously promised that as long as they elect their own king, they will ask the Emperor Ming for the title.

But at this time, he also needs to face a problem.

Van City.

"Your place is really chaotic, who are these Kurds? Also, don't you have a clear division of the territory? The black sheep Turkmen is to the north, and you are to the east. What kind of Kurds are here, and there is Armenia next to it Man, the west side is not far from the Ottomans, right? It’s all mountains, there’s a piece of the mountain, a piece of Kurds on the left, a piece of Armenians on the right, and a nomadic black sheep Turkmen in the middle. Enmity, don't you understand the importance of unification?"

Zhu Di looked at the small town in front of him, surrounded by mountains and lakes, and said.

It has to be said that the intricate situation in West Asia is even a headache for him, all of which are intertwined with various ethnic groups.

Huan Tamar has different beliefs.

Even if the beliefs are the same, the denominations are not the same.

Ethnicity, belief, sect, any difference will turn into killing each other.

"This is what it looks like here, King Khan. Don't think those Armenians are honest. The Armenia they talked about happened hundreds of years ago. Now half of the Armenian land they talk about is inhabited by Kurds. "

Ahmed said with a smile.

After all, they can still communicate directly in Mongolian. Zhu Di has learned these Turkic Mongolian words in the past half a year.

"What about you?"

Zhu Di said.

"We, our main territory is actually in Baghdad. Taoli Temple is the old capital, and it has long been occupied by the black sheep Turkmen. With a place as good as Baghdad, who would like Taoli Temple."

Ahmed said.

"Don't worry, Tutuo Mimi and I will send you to Baghdad. Compared with their mess, you all come from the East after all. You Mongols are all subjects of Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty has an imperial decree. All members of the Golden Family will have their own You are the tribe of Zara Yier. Mu Huali’s descendant, Chahan, is still the Marquis of Shenyang, and he is still in command of the army to guard one side. After all, Daming is too far away from here, so it will not really manage this place. Watch them.

Tutuo Lost is still the Khan of the Golden Horde, he is the King of Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty, and the Khan of the Golden Horde of the Ming Dynasty.

You are Ilhan, and you will also be the county king of Daming, and the Emperor of Ming will give you the Nine-White Banner.

We did have enmity in the past, but since Elebek served the Great Khan of Mongolia as his allegiance to the Ming emperor, the enmity between us was wiped out.

A smile wipes away all grievances. "

Zhu Di said.

Of course, the main thing is to deal with Bayezid together.

Now Timur is no longer the main enemy. Tutuo Mimi sent people back to investigate. He has withdrawn to Haji Talha, but there are still heavy troops stationed in Darban, and because of Timur's looting before leaving, Chechens He is also extremely hateful.In short Timur has not come back.But Bayezid is already heading east. After all, he is also eager to conquer this area. In the past, he did not dare to have Timur, but now that Timur is gone, he has no fear of Zhu Di.

Therefore, it is time for Zhu Di to take over the mission of Timur in the original history.
