Butterfly flaps its wings.

Historically, Pi'erma Heima had never been to the Ming Dynasty.

But he is present in this year's envoy team.

All of this has a lot to do with Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

The business of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce began to expand externally a long time ago, especially the product range. It was these special products that aroused Pi'erma Heima's interest.

The news about the arrival of Timur's envoys in Ming Dynasty quickly reached Zhu Yuanzhang.

Normally there wouldn't be much of a problem, but this time a grandson of Tamerlane came. Due to etiquette in the Ming Dynasty, the reception standards were different.

There are many outstanding talents in Jinyiwei, and these talents are not only on the capital side, but also include spying on other countries' intelligence, undercover, and a series of other actions.

There are all Jinyiwei involved. These are Jinyiwei who are outside and are not officially incorporated into the capital. Some of them are like non-staff members, but their salaries are not low.

What he did was also very dangerous.

The name Timur is a very unfamiliar name to most people and even officials in the Ming Dynasty, because Timur and the Ming Dynasty did not have direct communication.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was no stranger to it, especially the collection of Timur's war steps, which was very clear.

Although Timur declared vassalage to the Ming Dynasty starting in the 20th year of Hongwu's reign, the diplomatic relations between the two countries were almost equal.

In the canopy palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked his eldest grandson: "Timur's grandson is here. You will be responsible for the reception this time."

"For some information about Timur, you can go to the Jin Yiwei to check it out first. Their strength should not be underestimated."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying had a very bad premonition in her heart.

The name Timur was not unfamiliar to him.

On the edge of the Western Region, many places were already ruled by the Timurid Empire. In fact, Zhu Ying did not pay too much attention to the Timurid Empire in the early days.

More often than not, members of the chamber of commerce are dispatched to use items unique to the Central Plains region, including their own output, to obtain a large amount of profits.

The current nobles of the Timur Empire are all very blessed. The continuous victorious wars have made the nobles of the Timur Empire make a lot of money.

The roots of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce are basically in the Western Regions, so for them, they cannot be missed.

And Zhu Ying also knew that with the sudden death of Timur in history, the huge Timur empire fell into pieces.

But this time, when she learned that Timur's grandson had come to Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying murmured in her heart.

"Would this Timur not die in the original history because of my arrival?"

"In other words, if I live a few more years, it will be embarrassing."

The Timur Empire is too far apart from the Ming Dynasty. Now the members of Zhu Ying's Qunying Chamber of Commerce are basically expanding their power into the Ming Dynasty. They are beyond the reach of the Timurid Empire.

After all, some information may only take one or two years to travel back and forth from Samarkand. Such a long distance will also cause a lot of information to be unable to keep up.

"Grandpa, my grandson knows something about Timur's side. They have strong soldiers and horses, just like the Yuan Dynasty. The strongest is the cavalry."

At this point, Zhu Ying's face became a little serious, and he continued to introduce: "Among Timur's cavalry, they have reinforced mail armor with very high defense, which is a unique smelting technology in the West."

"The defense of these mail armors far exceeds that of my Ming Dynasty mail armors. My grandson has some here."

"It's just that even the skilled craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty can't make these mails."

Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

The Ming Dynasty is indeed very strong at this stage, but if it really faces Timur's army, the outcome is still unclear.

However, even if it is defeated, it will not be like the Southern Song Dynasty. It is just that this war will drag the Ming Dynasty, which has just regained its vitality, into the quagmire.

Western pot ring armor is a reinforced mail armor. Most common warriors on horseback wear uniforms, and even infantrymen wear reinforced chain mail armor.

The current weak metallurgy of the Ming Dynasty cannot even imitate these elite weapons and armors. In terms of armaments, the Ming Dynasty in its implementation stage is not as good as the Timurid Empire. This is an indisputable fact.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard this.

He knew that the eldest grandson originally lived in the Western Regions, so he was naturally very familiar with Timur. However, he was still a little unhappy when he heard the eldest grandson say that the Timur empire was very strong, and said:

"Perhaps the weapons of our Ming Dynasty are a little inferior, but don't forget, grandson, our firearms of the Ming Dynasty should not be underestimated."

Zhu Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Timur's side has a super mobile artillery that is said to be able to hit eighty miles. Eighty miles was a bit exaggerated at the time, but even if it is folded in half and then half again, it still has a range of twenty miles."

"These artillery are controlled by Timur himself. Now Timur has almost no disadvantages in his foreign campaigns. These super artillery have made great contributions."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he stood up in disbelief:

"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

This statement is too exaggerated.

The most powerful artillery of the Ming Dynasty has a farthest range of less than five miles, but Dasun said that in the hands of Timur, a super artillery nearly five times the value of the Ming Dynasty artillery appeared.

What is the concept of a twenty-mile range? This means that when Ming Dynasty's army faced Timur's army, they might not even see the enemy's shadow, and they were already under attack.

Very few things could make Zhu Yuanzhang lose his composure. After a brief moment of losing his composure, Zhu Yuanzhang continued:

"It seems that this Timur is much stronger than what we know. If it were not so different, he would really be a big threat to our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down quickly, but the importance he attached to Timur in his heart increased a lot.

The power of the Mongol Empire is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that he was able to defeat the Yuan Dynasty and establish the Ming Dynasty because the timing was right.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were still powerful cavalry teams. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's team was just a very inconspicuous little player.

They were not even taken seriously by the Yuan Dynasty. After all, there were too many rebels against the king. These peasant rebels were really not enough to watch.

In the Battle of Gaoyou, the Yuan Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops disintegrated. In the future, the Yuan Dynasty relied on various landlords' armed forces to suppress uprisings, and there was hope for a time.

However, in the Yuan Dynasty, there were internal conflicts between the emperor and the queen and the prince, internal conflicts between central and local ministers, internal conflicts among warlords over land grabs, internal conflicts among warlords' internal factions, etc. In short, there were all kinds of strange things.

Just like this, the Yuan Dynasty played itself to death.

And now Timur is a Mongolian.

The Timurid Empire is actually not very different from the Mongol Empire in concept.

"My grandson will definitely be able to find out a lot of information when he goes to have contact with Timur's grandson. Unlike our Ming Dynasty, they like to brag about their abilities and have no humility at all."

"Since this man is Timur's grandson, he must be very aware of the situation of the army under Timur's rule. This is a good opportunity."

Zhu Ying analyzed and said.

If it is an ordinary diplomatic envoy, it is indeed difficult to deal with. After all, those who can serve as diplomatic envoys are generally very shrewd.

In a sense, this grandson of Timur is equivalent to a descendant of the royal family. He must have come to the Ming Dynasty mainly for fun. In terms of diplomacy, he must be a weak point.

While Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying were discussing, Jiang Yu, who was waiting outside the door, came in and reported:

"Your Majesty, news came from the Imperial Guards of the capital that Timur's grandson, Pirma Heima, did not go directly to Tianjie Temple, but went to the capital city to start playing."

"It seems that he is very interested in the prosperity of our capital, the Ming Dynasty."

"On the way to visit the capital, I met a businessman as a guide. This businessman is from His Highness Changsun Qunying Chamber of Commerce. I am going to have dinner at the Ping'an Tea House."

When it came to the latter part, Jiang Wei's eyes became a little strange.

He even felt that His Highness Chang Sun had already made arrangements regarding Timur's grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "It's a coincidence. Just now we were chatting about this little boy, and unexpectedly we went directly to Da Sun's teahouse."

"What kind of good food can there be over there with the Mongols? If you enter our grandson's teahouse, you will be conquered directly."

"Dasun, what happens next depends on how you arrange it. In this matter, we will leave it all to you."

Zhu Ying didn't expect such a coincidence. At first, she was still thinking about using a gourmet strategy.

As a result, he just walked in on his own.

"Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson is quite good at these things, but this time, he wants to borrow someone from grandpa."

Zhu Ying said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang said nonchalantly: "If Dasun needs help, just call him over."

Zhu Yingdao: "That is the new supervisor of Qintian Prison, Liu Rixin."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have much idea at first. When he heard that it was Liu Rixin, he asked curiously: "Isn't Liu Rixin just a fortune teller? What is the use of the grandson? Is it possible that he is telling fortunes for that skinny horse and black hemp?"

Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Yes, my grandson just wants to ask Mr. Liu to tell the fortune of Pi'er Ma Heima."

"The situation with Timur now is somewhat similar to that of our Ming Dynasty."

"Timur's eldest son Jahangir died young, and Pirma Heima's elder brother Mahem Sultan was designated as the heir by Timur."

"Timur's second son died in the war, his third son was also injured in the war and suffered from an incurable disease, and his fourth son Shaharul was too young to bear the heavy responsibility."

"This time my grandson just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see if he could plant a special seed."

Regarding the old man, Zhu Ying had no need to beat around the bush and just said what was in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, agreeing with Da Sun's plans, and said: "Okay, since Da Sun has an idea, let's go ahead and do it."

In the Qintian Prison, Liu Rixin was discussing the academic mysteries of Feng Shui with the officials of the former Qintian Prison.
