Chapter 265: Kill nine million, you will be the hero among heroes

Seran.

With all the soldiers and civilians kneeling to greet him, King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, who was fully armored in plate, rode into this ancient city on horseback with his personal guards behind him.

"I want to build a temple here for passing business travelers to ask Buddha to protect them on their journey. The King of Samarkand will not stop it, right?"

Zhu Di said with a smile.

Tamerlane, who was walking side by side with him, gave a stiff smile...

"Of course not."

he said.

He just wants to coax this guy to withdraw his troops quickly, and then go to rescue Andiyan.

Besides, there is no point in stopping it.

Because cities such as Shymkent and Talas have been controlled by Zhu Di, he will definitely build in these cities. Can he still demolish them after he leaves? Then give him a reason to go south again. After all, Zhu Di has already obtained Mongolia and Oara

Be loyal and join even after a month's separation, the Ming Dynasty will definitely garrison the land of Seven Rivers in the future. It can be said that Hezhong will have to face this powerful enemy in the north in the future. Even if Zhu Di completely withdraws from Hezhong this time, he must remain humble in the future.

attitude.

What's more, Zhu Di may not return Shymkent and Talos to him.

"You seem to have something on your mind?

Are you afraid that I will occupy your place and not leave? Your Excellency, you can rest assured that I have been ordered to patrol. As long as you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, I will not occupy your place and not leave.

Shymkent and Talas will all be returned to you."

Zhu Di said.

"Of course I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty."

Timur said with some surprise.

"Then I'm relieved. However, I still have another task on this trip, which is to demarcate the boundaries of the vassals in the Western Region. After all, they are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. They can no longer fight against each other as in the past. Your northern boundary will be Talas City.

In addition, I will also submit a petition to ask Your Majesty to grant another national title.

After all, Samarkand is only your capital.

After all, it is inappropriate to use the capital as the name of the country, not to mention that it is also uneducated."

Zhu Di said.

"Everything must be obeyed by Your Majesty."

Timur said.

This is not a bad thing for him. They are so far away from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has no control over his place. Whatever country name they like to give him is just to use it when interacting with the Ming Dynasty in the future. It is better than the ones he used before.

The title is inexplicably strong. As for internally, he is still the Sultan. This has nothing to do with his status in the Ming Dynasty. The key is to return Shymkent and Talos to him. He does not care about such fictitious things.

In fact, he has no real national title at all now.

His identity is rather embarrassing.

Of course what he wants to do most is to be the Great Khan, but he is not from the Golden Family and is not qualified.

Let alone the Great Khan of Mongolia, he is not even qualified to be the Khan of Chagatai.

Even if you force yourself to call yourself someone else, no one will care.

On this point, whether in Hezhong or other places in the Western Regions, they are very determined. You can use whatever title you want. Even if you are the Great Khan, you are not qualified. Even if you regard Chagatai Khan as a puppet, you are not qualified to be called the Great Khan.

title.

And the highest level in their system is of course the Caliphate.

But he also considers himself a Mongolian.

In fact, even in the original history, he did not try to use this title. The Mongolian people were not interested in this title. The highest level in people's consciousness was the Great Khan. After all, the Great Khan could trample the caliph to death. Even if the Mongolian people changed their beliefs,

There is still some pride in people's hearts. Caliph, isn't he just someone who was trampled to death by us? This title has little market in the Mongolian system, so he calls himself Sultan until his death. This is the title he established for the Western Chagatai Khanate.

After the Khan became a puppet, he called himself the Western Chagatai Khanate in order to rule and was recognized by the Great Khan. The Great Khan is the Great Khan, and the Sultan is the Sultan. He is still the subject of the Great Khan, but he also rules the Great Khan as the Sultan.

There are no other believers of the same religion under his rule, but there are no other believers in the Western Chagatai Khanate, so in fact he is still the supreme ruler.

He was the Prime Minister Cao of the Western Chagatai Khanate from beginning to end.

There is also another title, which is the title of Shah he received after conquering Persia.

So he is now equivalent to the Sultan of the Western Chagatai Khanate, but the Great Khan has died, and then he is also the Shah of Persia.

Now add a king of the Ming Dynasty.

It's really humiliating.

but……

Strategically it doesn't do him any harm.

Because this means that he no longer has to worry about the safety of the rear. As long as he continues to show his loyalty to the Ming Emperor, continue to pay tribute, and continue to send envoys to grovel, then he can continue heading west without any distractions.

The world to the west is still vast.

He has not yet defeated the Ottoman Empire, nor has he destroyed the Delhi Sultanate.

There are countless conquerable lands ahead waiting for him to conquer.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was too far away and could not really go westward with all his strength. He knew this very well. In fact, in the original history of his Eastern Expedition, there is a saying that he did not even think about marching into the Ming Dynasty. He just wanted to destroy Guo in a false way.

He solved the Chagatai in the east and the Oara tribe in the north, and then completely conquered all the Mongolian tribes to obtain the title of Great Khan of Mongolia that he dreamed of.

It's not like he didn't know how far it was to reach Ming Dynasty and how difficult it was to supply supplies along the way.

Such an expedition would be tantamount to suicide.

He is not a nomad.

Both Hezhong and Khorasan are urban-dwelling farming, nomadic and commercial complex economies.

He cannot live without urban supplies.

During his Western expedition, he also jumped from city to city.

Therefore, this kind of surrender can gain him a stable rear and even new weapons of the Ming Dynasty, such as the telescope he used, as well as the firearms and armor used by the Ming army in this war, all of which he can use. If he can use

In exchange for these surrenders, he could even conquer the Ottoman Empire and march to New Rome.

If you can exchange this little humiliation for this, what's the big deal?

Kneel down?

It's not like he has never knelt before.

Back then, he knelt at the feet of Tuhelu Timur. Isn't he still lording over the river now?

What a hero!

Everyone knows that you can kneel down when you need to.

"However, your Excellency's tribute must be re-determined in the future. The Ming Dynasty does not need those gems or anything else, it just needs horses and camels. Your Excellency will pay tribute every three years. How about a tribute of 5,000 horses and 5,000 camels at a time!"

Zhu Di said.

"If Emperor Ming really makes a decree, then even if I try my best, I will still give it to His Majesty."

Timur said with a smile.

This was a trivial matter to him. After all, he was out to rob, so he could just let Persia and other conquered cities out.

"Well, the King of Samarkand is indeed loyal!"

Zhu Di said with a smile.

Then he rode into the temple on horseback while a group of elders in front of him knelt down in humiliation.

Timur quickly dismounted.

But this makes him look more like he is leading the horse for His Royal Highness, Prince Yan.

He didn't care.

But the generals such as Hoylchak behind him all looked furious. Zhu Di, who was riding a horse and walking in the temple, was undoubtedly a huge humiliation to them. Then the horse was walking very rudely.

pull.

However……

They looked at the Ming soldiers who were all heavily armored and riding war horses, and in the end they could only swallow this sigh of relief.

And while Zhu Di was visiting the temple on horseback, the city of Andiyan had also been captured.

"You traitors, you minions of the devil, the gods will not forgive you, you will be burned to ashes in the fire!"
