The power of corrupt evil gods will be attracted by those prosperous and powerful countries.The destruction of the Roman Empire was due to this evil god.
Therefore, as long as the Timurid Empire can find a more powerful country and divert the disaster to the east, this crisis can be resolved.
Is there such an empire in this world?
Yes, and only one.
Both the Timur Empire and the Ming Empire were built on the ruins after the collapse of the Mongol Empire, and even the time when Timur and Zhu Yuanzhang became emperors were not far behind.
Timur and Emperor Hongwu had exchanged envoys and had a good relationship.But Emperor Timur, who punched Ottoman and kicked Mamluks, finally chose to turn against Ming, and even raised 20 troops to conquer China.
But before this daring plan could be implemented, Timur died on the march.
Coincidentally, the succession disputes after the death of the two founding emperors were also very similar.
Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to his grandson Zhu Yunqi, and then the civil war was triggered by the cutting of the vassal, and finally the fourth uncle Zhu Di took the throne.
Timur's grandson, Pi'er Mahema, was also appointed as the next Sultan, and then a civil war was triggered because of this, and his fourth uncle Shahru finally won the throne.
Daming's fourth uncle has passed away, but Timur's fourth uncle is still in power.
Shaharu decided to give a "big gift" to the son of the fourth uncle of Daming who was only famous and never met, but who had always cherished each other.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Because Timur and Ming were separated by thousands of miles, and the two sides did not set up a magic circle capable of instant communication, Shah Ru did not know that the person who now ruled the huge Eastern Dynasty was actually Zhu Di's grandson.
But even knowing this news, it will not reduce the hostility in Shaharu's heart.
His father died during the expedition to the Ming Dynasty, and then the country fell into civil strife. This is the pain that Shah Ruh will never be able to erase from his heart.Later, after he took the throne of Sultan, due to the domestic situation, he chose to re-establish friendship with the Ming Dynasty and sent a large mission to Beijing.The news brought back by the mission made Shah Ruth admire the strength and prosperity of this eastern dynasty, but also harbor deep fear in his heart.
He finally understood why his father insisted on marching east to Daming regardless of the objective factors such as advanced age and long distance.Because, if you don’t invade and strangle this great country when Daming is caught in the civil strife between uncles and nephews, in the future, with its terrifying size and a strong and aggressive monarch, Daming will be like Leviathan, Constantly devouring surrounding countries, the Timurid Empire was not spared.
This kind of fear reached its peak when the Ming Dynasty official led a huge fleet that covered the sky and arrived in Hormuz.
If Mayoufu knew what Shaharu was thinking, he would definitely laugh, and then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sudan, you think too much, Daming really doesn't have the ambition and ability to expand."
However, because of the suspicion caused by the lack of information, Shah Ru has always regarded the Ming Dynasty as a serious threat to his confidant, and when he observed the attack of the corrupt disaster star, he prepared a plan to divert the disaster to the east.
If the plan is successful, the state of the Timurid Empire will be continued.The giant in the east will also be greatly weakened by the catastrophe, and may even fall apart.
This is the fulfillment of my father's last wish.
"Da Ming's fourth uncle left a rich foundation for future generations. I, Timur's fourth uncle, can't fall behind. We must let this empire continue stably and for a long time!"
With this belief, Shah Ruth began to act when the white light passed through Anatolia.And at night when the corrupted disaster star reached the sky over the capital Harleh, the astrologers, mages, masters, and imams summoned by Shaharu had already occupied the position of the magic circle on the observatory, and were waiting for it.
The spellcasters chanted mantras, and the imams knelt down to pray, praying for the mighty power of God Mulholran.
As time went by, huge magic power and divine power gathered on the observatory, making this grand building shrouded in bright golden light.
Seeing that the white light is about to fall, the golden light on the observatory is even more prosperous.
Finally, the golden light accumulated to the extreme turned into a huge beam of light like a sharp blade, soaring straight into the sky and piercing towards the white light.
boom!
In the explosion caused by the collision of two huge forces, the night turned into day in an instant, and the earth shook.
"Did it succeed?" Shaharu, who was the core of the magic circle, vomited blood because of the huge energy impact.He didn't care about his injuries, and he didn't care about the bleeding from seven holes in the observatory. Most of the astrologers who had fallen down looked up.
The corrupted light of disaster was cut in half by Shah Ru's spell.Some of them wobbled towards the east.And the other part, still crashing into the ground with an unstoppable trend.
Failed, but not completely.
"I've tried my best, Father." Shahru looked at the sky with a gray face, "Although our empire is still inevitably falling into chaos through corruption, the country has been extended for at least 50 years. You regard it as the biggest threat The Ming Dynasty will also decline rapidly because of the power of corrupting evil gods. The new generation of military nobles tempered by them in the civil war will quickly fall. Their kings will also be deceived by slander, stay away from virtuous ministers, and favor despicable ones. eunuch……"
……
The last ray of light, which symbolizes the power of the four evil gods of the apocalypse, also fell on the kingdom of Mulhollan, which believed in the true god Ankabal.
The black light containing the power of disaster was flying in the sky like an invisible ghost, heading south all the way through the land of France, during which no astrologer noticed.
Two days later, the black light of disaster flew across the Mediterranean Sea and arrived in the Maghreb area. Its altitude gradually decreased, and finally landed in the desert south of the Aurès Mountains and north of Jerred Salt Lake.
A violent earthquake never seen before occurred.Overnight, the oasis city of Gafsa, [-] kilometers east of the epicenter, was almost completely destroyed.When the surviving residents climbed out of the ruins and greeted the sunrise of the next day with lingering fear, they suddenly discovered that a new continuous mountain range rose from the endless desert to the west of them, extending northwards, and Olei. The Si Mountains are linked together.
This mighty force that changed the shape of the land in just one night made everyone kneel down, shouting the name of the true god Mulhollan, and worshiping the new natural wonder that stretches between heaven and earth.
"A miracle! A holy gift! Ankabal has appeared, the most benevolent ruler, he is merciful to the humble and devout believers!" On the ruins of the temple in Gafsa, an imam was holding a crutch, spitting shouted to the crowd.
Boom!
A thunderstorm interrupted the imam's frenetic speech.He looked back in astonishment, and saw lightning and thunder, dark clouds billowing on the top of the newly born mountain range, and a huge storm was brewing.
……
Mayouf stayed at Mont Saint-Michel for a week to deal with follow-up matters.He waited until Donatello hurried over, explained the situation to him, and saw with his own eyes a capable company of trial knights and three elite cardinals settled in, before leaving in peace and returning to Rouen.
Then, he bid farewell to the Little Saint of England and his party at the port of Harfleur.
Henry VI was successfully revived.Although the little king has lost part of his soul, and now he has become stupid and almost incapacitated. He only knows to eat, drink and sleep by instinct, but at least England has kept its king.Before Henry VI's "death is unknown", the regent Duke of Gloucester and the Archbishop of Beaufort still had a chance to stabilize the domestic situation.
While Ma Youfu was running the fief step by step and preparing for the civil service exam, an unexpected guest—Philip III, Duke of Burgundy, came to Rouen.
The reason why the Duke came to Rouen impatiently, gave Ma Youfu a big face, because he couldn't wait to launch a crusade against the heretics.
Apart from the fact that the Duke of Burgundy himself had the adventurous feelings of an ancient Greek hero, the reason why he wanted to launch the Crusade as soon as possible was internal pressure.
Today, under the management of the Northern France Trading Company, Normandy, Champagne, Picardy, Brabant, the Netherlands, Flanders and other regions have been integrated into a unified economy with prosperous trade and rapid development of handicrafts. Make a fortune at the Battle of Paris that ended the Hundred Years' War.
However, because the territory of the Principality of Burgundy is in a state of fragmentation and obsessive-compulsive disorder, the military nobles in the Burgundy region basically did not enjoy this wave of economic dividends. But not much benefit.
Although by charging tolls for Swiss mines and selling wine from their own estates, they can get by, but who would refuse more gold coins?
The anxious military aristocrats wanted to make a fortune with the thigh of the Eastern God of Wealth, Ma Youfu, so they naturally asked Philip III.
"Your Highness, when the Marquis of La Manche persuaded you to release the Holy Maiden, one of the reasons was that she was the only one who had enough prestige to unify many forces, serve as the leader of the Crusaders, and lead us to North Africa to make a fortune——Ah, go to North Africa to save the lost people, Let them return to the Seven Saints. Now that England has been defeated, should we consider launching the Crusade?" Philip III's most trusted vassal, the Earl of Luxembourg, advised him.
Priests are mouthpieces, citizens are pocketbooks, nobles are gun barrels.For these three classes, Philip III must both appease and control them, and use them all in order to achieve the great cause in his heart.
Now that the citizens have benefited a lot from the Hundred Years' War, they have almost forgotten the trauma caused by the Ghent Uprising last year, and they are quite respectful to Philip III.So in order to satisfy the demands of the nobles, as well as for their own promises and dreams, it is also necessary to plan to launch the Crusade.
"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke. But this matter needs to be discussed in detail. Why don't you go to my study to discuss it in detail." At the welcome dinner, when Philip III mentioned the Crusade, Ma Youfu immediately agreed.
Although France is still in the post-war recovery stage, it is not appropriate to launch a war immediately, but it is possible to plan ahead and prepare early.
First, you must get the support of the Holy See, get the right to launch the Crusade, and then spread the initiative to Europe, gather the nobles who are willing to participate in the Crusade, establish a command structure, formulate a combat plan, distribute the post-war benefits, and then mobilize logistics supplies, gather troops.
Once you have done all of this, you can go to war.By then, France should have recovered from the war.
When the two came to the study, Ma Youfu spread out a huge map on the desk.The Maghreb area is drawn in detail on the map-almost the territory of the four North African countries of Morocco, Algiers, Tunisia, and Libya.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me for speaking more bluntly. The ultimate goal of our organization of this crusade should be to occupy those rich areas in North Africa that are rich in spices and gold, and suitable for growing sugar cane, and maximize economic benefits, right?"
Philip III originally wanted to say some high-sounding words, but seeing Ma Youfu directly throwing away the fig leaf, although he was a little embarrassed, he nodded readily and said, "Faith is ultimately not as powerful as wealth."
"Then which country do you think we should choose as the first target of the Crusade?"
"Ma Youfu was able to prepare such a detailed map of the Maghreb, which shows that he had already planned his strategy for the North African Crusade. He probably wanted to test me when he asked this question," Philip III thought.
Although the Grand Duke of Burgundy is not a peerless famous general, he is still considered a well-known soldier.After a little thought, he dropped his finger on the position of Morocco.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Since the thirteenth century, the Muwahid Dynasty, which ruled the Maghreb region in North Africa and southern Iberia, fell and split into several independent regimes.
The Maghreb region is divided into three: the Marin Dynasty that ruled the Moroccan Sultanate in the west, the Zayeni Dynasty that ruled the Tremsen Sultanate in the center, and the Hafs Dynasty that ruled the Tunisian Sultanate in the east.
Each of the three sultanates had its own period of strength, and they attacked each other and had endless disputes.Historically, this Romance of the Three Kingdoms of the Maghreb did not really end until the [-]th century, when it was under the attack of two foreign powerhouses, Ottoman and Spain.
But now under Ma Youfu's intervention, history may be completely changed.
Philip III chose Morocco, which is the farthest, as the first object of conquest, after careful consideration.
In terms of economic benefits, the region in eastern Morocco adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean has a very suitable climate, water and soil for growing sugar cane, and is one of the main sugar cane producing areas supplying Europe today.For this sweet party crusader who aims to develop the sugar industry, it is a fertile land that is determined to win.
Moreover, by occupying Morocco, they will be able to control the Sahara trade route, and French merchants will be able to go south to Timbuktu to obtain precious resources such as gold, spices, and even slaves from the Black Continent.
In addition, there are rich minerals in the Atlas Mountains, especially the Tafilalet area, which is rich in gold and silver.
Morocco is the fattest and the farthest.However, in Philip III's view, the difficulty of obtaining supplies during the expedition to Morocco was actually much lower than that of attacking the other two sultanates.
Because France has a good relationship with Castile, it is very convenient to obtain supplies from the Iberian Peninsula.The supply line that only needs to cross the Strait of Gibraltar is obviously much simpler than crossing the entire Mediterranean Sea.There is also Ceuta, a Portuguese territory in North Africa, which can be used as a landing point for the Crusaders.
Under the righteousness of the Seven Saints, even if Portugal had turned against France, it would not dare to refuse the request of the Crusaders. At most, it would use some small tricks behind the scenes, without affecting the overall situation.
Maybe, when the Crusaders are in a better mood, they can easily destroy the weak Granada, which is the main dark country, and help Castile complete the reconquest campaign ahead of schedule.
Philip III explained his reasons for choosing Morocco, which was approved by Ma Youfu.
After careful consideration, he also believed that the first attack on Morocco was the best choice.
Just as the two of them smiled "heroes see the same thing" and raised their glasses to toast, there was a knock on the door.
"Is there a problem?"
"My lord, an urgent letter from the Count of Armagnac!"
Ma Youfu hurriedly asked the attendant to open the door and come in.
After he got the letter, he could still feel that the paper was slightly warm, and there were still some fluctuations in magic power.Obviously, the Earl of Armagnac received some important news, so he sent it to Rouen immediately without delay.
"Do you need me to avoid it?" Philip III asked.
Ma Youfu shook his head and opened the envelope.
Although the Earl of Armagnac did not directly participate in the Battle of Paris like military nobles such as La Haile, he still used magic to contribute a lot.In addition to the merits of going to Dijon and Burgundy to negotiate peace last year, after the end of the Hundred Years' War, he has gained a lot of rewards and prestige, and he is still a force that cannot be underestimated in the circle of French aristocrats.
Today, Count Armagnac has returned to his fief, serving as an honorary advisor to the Lectour Arcane School.Recently, he felt from the school observatory that the concentration of water elements in the south was unusually high.
The south of France is the Mediterranean Sea, and there is nothing wrong with the higher concentration of water elements.If you were someone else, you might not care about such a small change.However, Earl Armagnac is an experienced mage, and he knows that some unusual energy changes in nature may mean that something earth-shattering has happened.
He mobilized his own network to search for news, and finally got jaw-dropping news this afternoon from a Genoese businessman who often travels to and from Tunisia.
About half a month ago, an earth-shattering earthquake occurred in the territory of the Tunisian Sultanate, and then, overnight, a new mountain rose in the desert.
On the peak of the mountain, there was an unprecedented torrential rain all day and all night, as if a big hole had been poked in the sky.Subsequently, endless floods rushed down from the mountains, turning the entire southwest of the Tunisian Sultanate into a country of floods.
Now, the torrential rain has stopped and the flood has finally dissipated.With the new mountain that appeared overnight as the source, three new rivers were born in the Maghreb region.
The first river flows southeast into Jared Salt Lake, then flows straight, turns a corner in Tripoli, and flows north into the Mediterranean Sea.
The second river, running northwards, joins the Mejerda River, and then flows eastward to the Mediterranean Sea at the port of Bizerte.
The third river winds its way through the Atlas Mountains, heading west, and finally flows into the Atlantic Ocean at Agadir.
After reading the letter from Count Armagnac, Ma Youfu handed the letter to Philip III without saying a word.
