Chapter 701: Timur Marching to Ming Dynasty(1/2)

Zhu Ying never thought that the Ming Dynasty's economy would develop the real estate industry. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the browser directly.\nCOM website to watch the fastest chapter updates)

This is the deep hatred from later generations.

Therefore, the impact on housing prices is a policy that has been prepared since the introduction of housing loans.

This time the banks joined forces to speculate in real estate, just to let the sales restriction order go ahead.

As far as the current Daming is concerned, Zhu Ying has never worried that he will lose. After all, the cards in his hand are too good, and they are all king bombs.

No matter how arrogant you are, if you really offend me, don't forget that this Ming Dynasty is the world of imperial power.

Zhu Ying can only say, don't let me try the taste of failure, otherwise I will let you feel the taste of death.

The bank's acquisition is a slow and detailed process, and it is impossible to integrate everything at once.

Of course, it’s not too soon to announce a ban on private operations.

It is still necessary to set aside some time and slowly take over these private banks before making an announcement.

Zhu Ying doesn't need to worry about these specific things, he just needs to grasp the direction.

I do everything myself, do you think I am a model worker like the old man?

From the Western Regions to now, I am both a boss and a grandson. After conquering Japan and then conquering Annan, I still have to worry about industry, military and money. Is it easy for me, and I can't enjoy it?

"Are you deliberately going against me? You really don't want me to have a rest."

Zhu Ying was speechless.

It's like God didn't even blame this lazy boy, and immediately gave him a makeover.

In the Huagai Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang has already arrived with the six ministers.

"Dasun, you are here just in time to see the news coming from the west." Zhu Yuanzhang said hello.

When the six ministers saw Zhu Ying coming in, they naturally stood up and bowed: "Greetings to His Highness Taisun."

"No gift."

Zhu Ying nodded, casually took the envelope from Zhu Yuanzhang and read it.

This is the news coming from the Uzang Command Department, using the eight-hundred-mile expedited method. It is obviously an urgent military situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the six ministers have already read the content, leaving only Zhu Ying.

A key figure is involved here, Timur.

After Timur captured the Sultan of Delhi, he immediately used the Sultan of Delhi as a springboard to harass Tibet and Uzbekistan.

I have to admit that Timur's army is definitely one of the best in today's world, especially the large number of cavalry, which is almost invincible in field battles.

There are no strong cities or walls in the Tubo region, so it is difficult to organize a decent resistance to the harassment of Timur's army.

This is a regular Mongolian army, and their elite cavalry are also capable of sleeping on horseback as the Mongols once did.

Timur invested more than 200,000 troops in the Tubo area.

Excluding the slave army, there are approximately 70,000 elite cavalry troops in the headquarters.

This is almost as good as Timur's showdown with the Ottoman Empire last year.

Of course, the confrontation with the Ottoman Empire was not a major war between the two countries. The Ottoman Empire's monarch, Bayezid I, was also a fool. He was too proud and arrogant about the name of 'Thunder'.

As a result, he was captured alive by Timur and is still in a cell in Samarkand. Timur obviously has no intention of releasing him in his lifetime.

"This Timur is really out of his mind. He has already arrested all the Ottoman emperors. Now the Ottoman region is in chaos. Why did he come to our territory instead of going to the west to receive the fruits of victory?"

.”

"You ambitious guy, do you really think our Ming Dynasty is so easy to mess with?"

Zhu Ying's scolding was approved by Zhu Yuanzhang and the six ministers.

Timur's actions made Ming very passive.

The Ming Dynasty's military strength is now rapidly developing cavalry, but this will take time to brew.

The military base on the other side of the grassland has been continuously cultivated. Even if it continues to absorb grassland tribes, it is still very difficult to emerge a large number of cavalry teams in a short period of time.

The difficulty lies mainly in loyalty, not in numbers.

The training of a cavalry requires firstly training his personal qualities, and then ideological education. For example, for foreign officers from a hundred or more households, they also need to come from the grasslands to the military academy in the capital to study.

While the Ming Dynasty was training cavalry, it also needed to take into account the loyalty of the trained cavalry to the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, what will happen if the cavalry troops in faraway grassland areas fail to listen to the announcements? It will be easy for them to defect. If others go to the grasslands, Ming Dynasty will lose its wives and lose its troops.

Now is not the time to fight Bei Yuan. We can no longer spend a lot of money and food to expand the army as we did before.

The training method also changed from absorbing foreign personnel to training Ming Han cavalry.

At least for now, at the officer level, it is basically necessary to ensure a high proportion of suppression by the Han people, so as to prevent big troubles.

There have been some minor frictions so far, but overall the problem is not major and there is no way to avoid it.

As for sending the cavalry to Tibet, this is very unrealistic.

That's why Zhu Ying complained about Timur's disgust.

Tubo sounds like a small place, but in fact its territory is very vast, which is equivalent to one-eighth of the land area of ​​later generations.

However, today's Tubo is only nominally under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

In the third year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang began to appease Tubo, and appointed a large number of upper-level officials with different levels of official positions such as Tongzhi, Marshal, and Ten Thousand Households, etc., and initially established an administrative system in the Tubo area.

In fact, Tubo was no different from a vassal state, which was reflected in the fact that the Ming Dynasty could not collect taxes.

The difference between direct territory and nominal territory lies in taxation.

"Your Highness, Timur's march into Tubo this time is probably a demonstration against us." Ruyu, the Minister of War, said helplessly.

Zhu Ying asked: "What does a demonstration mean?"

Ru Yun replied: "According to the news from the sea, our Ming Dynasty Ocean Fleet has arrived at the coast of Central Asia."

"Because of the monsoon, our Ming Dynasty's treasure ship will have to stay there until the end of the year before it can set sail."

"The natives over there may be covetous of our Ming Dynasty treasure ships. In order to maintain the majesty of our Ming Dynasty, Cao Guogong had a conflict with the local natives."

"Gong Cao Guo is leading the elite of our Ming Dynasty. The natives are certainly no match. Currently, they are winning consecutive battles and are invincible."

Zhu Ying couldn't help but ask: "What does this have to do with Timur?"

If he remembers correctly, Timur has not conquered the coastal areas of northern India yet.

Ru Yu replied with some embarrassment: "Cao Guogong destroyed an army of 20,000 people there and captured many slaves, and that army was Tamerlane's expeditionary force to North India."

Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment.

Li Jinglong, this kid, is pretty good at fighting.

They actually wiped out Timur's expeditionary army.

But it sounds normal.

The North Indian side has always fought against the five scum, and Tamerlane has hardly encountered any opponents when playing in North India, which is equivalent to a situation of being pushed all the way.

The 20,000 men were obviously not necessarily Timur's direct troops.

Although there were only 30,000 officers and soldiers brought by Li Jinglong, in order to promote the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, most of them were veterans of hundreds of battles, and they were equipped with sufficient firearms.

"What's the loss?" Zhu Ying asked.

Rujun replied: "Cao Guogong showed off the power of our country and defeated Timur's expeditionary army. The losses themselves were negligible. The main vanguard was mainly local indigenous people."

Got it.

Li Jinglong felt sorry for his own manpower and used the local indigenous people as cannon fodder.

"Very good. It seems that Cao Guogong has made great contributions."

Zhu Ying said with approval.

I probably understand the situation now.

Because it was an ocean-going fleet, it was difficult for Timur to send troops for revenge.

After all, by the time Timur organized an army and rushed over, Li Jinglong had already set sail again.

It is true that Timur was the overlord of the Middle East, but in fact, the areas that Timur ruled were basically on land, and there were not many places close to the sea. Therefore, it was not that Timur lacked naval power, but simply that

There is no navy.

Both Mongolians and Turks have a natural fear of the sea.

This fear came from the destruction of Kublai Khan's hundreds of thousands of troops in the Japanese country.

Therefore, the Mongols have no idea at all about developing a navy.

The Ming Dynasty's ocean-going fleet had already arrived in its own territory, so Timur naturally didn't want to be offended like this.

It just so happened that the Sultan of Delhi was captured, so he simply marched directly into Tibet.

"If eldest grandson hadn't reminded us, we would have almost been deceived by this old boy Timur."
