Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"Guess, why did Timur die for no reason?"

Zhu Gaochi became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Oh, no one would believe it if I told you! This guy had a high fever when he crossed the river. He had a fever all the way here. He didn't recover until he got to our city. He finally recovered two days ago and drank some wine."

"Good fellow, he didn't want to die at home, so he came here to die!"

Zhu Gaochi was still chattering.

Zhang Xin's thoughts flew to who knows where.

In my previous life, my father-in-law launched the Jingnan Rebellion with three strong winds. In this life, we launched a counterattack in advance, so there was one less strong wind.

So do I have to make up for it here?

God will definitely pamper this chosen person no matter what?

The same is true of Timur.

The battle never took place. According to Zhanji, the shocking battle between the East and the West was aborted because the Syr Darya River did not freeze over. Timur's army waited for 40 to 50 days by the river for the ice to freeze over. Timur drank himself to death when he had nothing to do.

My father-in-law is real, he is so lucky!!!

"what about now?"

"Their Khan is dead, and the army is demoralized. How can they fight? No one has left the city. Song Sheng is the only one who has been killed. Timur's grandson and son have escaped with tens of thousands of their personal guards."

That evening, Zhu Di came back with more detailed information.

Timur was already sixty-five years old.

I was still in good health when I set out, but now that I’m old, I’ve reached the age where I’m done.

No one in the entire Timurid Empire, whether courtiers or family members, supported the eastern expedition, and no one could persuade this stubborn old man.

Zhu Di was deeply touched.

It is indeed a perfect deed for a person who loves fighting to die on the way to a war.

It was just hard for those who fought with him, as hundreds of thousands of people suddenly became prisoners.

"People! Don't be too willful."

Xu sighed.

"You tell me, should we chase after those tens of thousands of people?"

Zhu Di was a little conflicted.

It would be a pity if we didn't punish the fallen dog at this time. The army was here, and the food and grass were complete. Everyone was also full of fighting spirit.

In contrast, Timur's army was like a lost dog, and it was freezing cold, so they couldn't move fast at all.

The Ming army was nipping at the tail of the remaining tens of thousands of Timur's men, killing as many as they could.

If they are all killed, the Timurid Empire will need at least ten years to recuperate.

This way, the border defense will also be spared from being disturbed every other day.

"If we don't fight, it will be a waste of effort. By then, we will have to lose as much as he loses. It will be a huge loss."

Xu disagreed.

They say don’t chase poor criminals.

Tens of thousands of other soldiers are not considered human beings, but the Ming Dynasty is not like that. Every one of them is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's not the case. To cut the grass, we must uproot it. We can attack it and make it our Ming territory."

Prince Ning was more in favor of Zhu Di.

"Can you beat them and manage them?

Look at the garrisons nearby, which are said to be from the Ming Dynasty. The enemy has already reached Peking, but they haven't said a word.

If we don’t have our own people to take care of it and manage it well, then there is no need to do so.”

Xu shook her head. She didn't even agree with the pursuit, let alone taking over such a large piece of land.

It sounds good and means to achieve great things, but in fact it is very unprofitable.

The entire Timur is not suitable for farming. It is either desert or snow-capped mountains, and the output is very limited.

"I don't agree with that either."

Zhu Gaochi spoke right after Xu.

“Speaking of the Timurid Empire, this territory is actually like the hot pot we eat, with everything in it.

There are Iranians who believe in the Greater Persian tradition, Muslims, and even Shamanism, which was passed down from Mongolia.

Timur relied on force and political intrigue to bring together these ethnic groups with different customs and beliefs.

Each ethnic group has its own traditions and customs.

And these cultures are no less inferior to Confucian culture.

Timur is seeking common ground while reserving differences, as long as everyone respects him as the king. It is more difficult to sort out the contradictions in the country than in the Ming Dynasty.

It took us Han people hundreds of years to build a core culture with Confucianism as the main body and hundreds of other schools of thought as the auxiliary ones, and we managed to unite the people into one.

He is far from that.

If he loses this battle, his heirs will not have a good time.

People from every tribe emerged.

It's all a trap here.

Timur himself was capable of conquering these tribal leaders.

Timur's descendants may not have it.

Let's wait and see, maybe we don't even have to do anything."

Zhu Gaochi rarely gave long speeches, and he became more confident as he spoke.

"Why do I feel like you mean something?"

As Zhu Di listened, he became distracted.

The son seemed to be talking about Zhu Yunwen's mess.

"I want to ask if Timur's sons and grandsons have all run away."

Zhang Xin asked weakly.

"Well, the two older grandsons and his son ran very fast."

"Yes, he ran the fastest. It is said that Timur loved his eldest grandson very much. This one is not so good. When he ran, he forgot the body of his grandfather Timur."

Prince Ning responded to Zhang Xin's words very considerately.

"That will definitely be a mess. I stand on the side of mother and the prince."

Zhang Xin is an expert in predictions.

"You also think they will fight among themselves?"

Zhu Di asked.

"How can a man who doesn't even care about his grandfather's body take over his grandfather's throne? Besides, they all ran fast, which means they all saw the opportunity quickly. It's impossible for them to go back without fighting."

Even if he had not experienced it in his previous life, Zhang Xin felt that there must be chaos in Timur's country.

Besides, she knew the ending.

Although, at this time, the Ming Dynasty had become rich and powerful after thirty years of governance by my grandfather.

Even the Ministry of Merit said that the best decades of the Ming Dynasty were ahead.

At this time, the people had not yet become impoverished by the conquest of Mongolia. The court was also clean and the finances were sufficient.

Unlike his son Zhanji's time, the army had already begun to suffer from corruption and absence of employees, and its combat effectiveness had seriously declined.

Taking advantage of the peak of the Ming Dynasty to deal with Timur is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. It is inevitable that Timur will be defeated.

But as my mother-in-law said, take it and don’t care.

Difficult to manage.

It would be best to wait a few years before taking care of it.

At that time, we can take a two-pronged approach of going to the West and going to the Western Regions at the same time.

As far as Zhang Xin remembers.

In the previous life, after Timur’s death, the Eastern Expedition failed.

The Timurid Empire fell into chaos.

Timur's grandson and Timur's son started an eight-year war for the throne.

Timur once publicly mocked the Ming Dynasty. His son and grandson fought fiercely for the throne. He never expected that after his death, the same plot would be played out by his son and grandson.

It’s really funny to talk about it.

I don’t know if it’s because when old people get older, they tend to dislike their sons and tend to favor their grandchildren, without being able to see what kind of people their grandchildren are.

Timur did not pass the throne to his son, but to his grandson Mahmud.

This Mahemah was the eldest grandson of Timur. Zhu Gaochi later evaluated his overall ability as being similar to Zhu Yunwen, but stronger than Zhu Yunwen, at least he was a capable fighter.
