"Ah!" The guard shouted in surprise. Just now he heard the Great Khan ordering him to wait until sunset before shooting Bayezid I alive if he had not been captured alive. Why did he suddenly give the order to do so immediately?
However, the impression of Timur being invincible for so many years has been deeply rooted in the bones of everyone around him. Although this man never asked about it in his heart, he bowed and went to the front line to deliver orders.
…
…
"What are you talking about? The Great Khan suddenly ordered Bayezid I to be shot immediately? Why? The order from the messenger just now was still that Bayezid I should be shot only after he has not been captured alive at sunset?" Yes.
When Bu said this, he looked back at the messenger in confusion. "Is he pretending to pass on the Khan's order?"
The messenger was so frightened by his sight that he immediately fell to the ground and said: "General Jesbu, I heard the order from the Khan with my own ears, and it is definitely not a fake message."
"General Jesb, it's true that he didn't fake the order from the Great Khan, it was the Great Khan who issued this new order," the guard said.
Jesbu also felt that it was impossible for a messenger to dare to falsely convey Timur's order. After hearing the guard's words, he no longer looked at the messenger, but turned back to the guard and said: "Then why did the Great Khan suddenly change the order? In the end?
what happened?"
"General Jesb, I don't know either. The Great Khan has no explanation. But the Great Khan issued this order after reading a document sent back from Samarkand." The guard said.
"Samarkand? Could it be that there is a war in the east, and it is not good for our Timurid Empire?" Jesb said to himself: "Forget it, I won't guess anymore, I will go back and ask the Khan after the war."
He turned to the messenger and said, "Go and call Balma and Salha over."
Not long after, the two men came to Jesb and asked: "Why, are you going to shoot Bayezid I?"
"Yes, the Great Khan just sent an order to shoot Bayezid I immediately." Jesb said: "Balma, you are the number one marksman in our Timur Empire. Let's see if there is a chance to shoot him alone."
Kill Bayezid I; Salha, command all the archers and fire a few more volleys to see if you can kill Bayezid I with volleys."
"Bayezid I should have been shot to death a long time ago. Just to capture him alive, many of our warriors who should not have been sacrificed sacrificed!" Balma took off the hard bow that measured five stones according to the Han people from his back, and took out the arrow from the back.
He took out an arrow from the pot, put it on the string and stared at the slope.
Suddenly, he shouted "Yes", drew the bow to full capacity, and shot an arrow.
…
…
Although the guard who went to deliver the order to Jesb had left, the people who were still around Timur were as puzzled as he was about why the Great Khan suddenly issued an order that was completely opposite to the previous one. Timur looked around and saw what he saw.
Just a puzzled face.
Timur looked at Fu An again. Fu An's expression was very normal. He was sitting peacefully on the chair, as if he was bowing his head in deep thought.
But there were so many people with confused expressions that Timur did not explain to them. Instead, he said to Fu An: "Do you want to know why I suddenly changed my mind just now?"
"I'm so sweaty, I dare not say anything." Fu An said.
"You are saying that you dare not say anything, but it seems that you still want to know? Since you want to know, then I will tell you." Timur paused and said in Chinese: "This is related to your Ming Dynasty!"
"Is it related to the Ming Dynasty?" Fu An asked very puzzledly: "How can it be related to the Ming Dynasty?"
"I have always wanted to go east and start a war with the Ming Dynasty to prove which country is the most powerful country in this era, and which monarch between me and Zhu Yuanzhang is the greatest monarch in this era."
"Unfortunately, before I could lead my troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of your Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, passed away. Although the successor Zhu Yunxi was still a wise monarch in my opinion, he was definitely far inferior in using troops to fight.
Don’t fuck me.”
"Fortunately, the system of your Eastern countries can ensure that the country will not suddenly decline due to changes in kings, so it can still prove which country is the most powerful country in this era."
"So even though Zhu Yuanzhang has passed away now, I still want to go east to fight the Ming Dynasty. I have already planned that after defeating the Ottomans and stabilizing the west, I will go east to destroy the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
This is the foundation for conquering the Ming Dynasty."
"But when I sent troops to the west to fight against the Ottomans and other countries, the black firemen of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate sent people to tell your emperor of the Ming Dynasty that I wanted to attack you eastward, and after investigation, he believed
Got this.”
"So your Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yunxi began to prepare for this war. He asked your Qin King Zhu Shangbing to occupy Hami, renamed Yiwu, as the forefront; and at a fair price (relative to the merchants of Samarkand)
Selling iron to them made the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Oara people stronger."
"Shamizhagan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate also sent envoys to the White Horde and Blue Horde to ask them to join forces against me, and some results have been achieved."
"In order to increase my chances of winning the war against the Ming Dynasty in the future, I must send troops to attack as soon as possible. Therefore, I have no time to continue wasting in the west. I can only end the war in the west as quickly as possible, rush back to Samarkand, and attack the nearby
The country was beaten, and after a period of cultivation, it attacked the Ming Dynasty." Timur described the entire logical relationship.
"My Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and restored China. The four peoples lived and worked in peace and contentment, and won the support of the people. It is absolutely impossible for you, the Great Khan, to invade the Central Plains." Fu An said.
"You just talked about entering the Central Plains. It seems that you have no confidence in whether your Ming army can win the battle in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains." Timur said with a smile.
Fu An was silent. Of course he knew about the past glory of Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Feng Sheng, Lan Yu and others, but they are all dead. Although it is said that there are a few of the new generation of generals who can fight, they were still pacified before.
They showed their talents on the battlefield of Luxie Rebellion - Timur sometimes told him some things that happened in the Ming Dynasty, so he knew - but after all, these people did not command hundreds of thousands of troops like the generals in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Experience, and once a war breaks out in the future, it will be a war involving at least millions of people!
Over the years, Timur conquered the north and south, and countless generals praised by Indians, cannibals and Mongols appeared like stars in the sky. Timur himself was a very good commander. Fu An really didn't dare to confront him.
The current military commanders of the Ming Dynasty have placed too high expectations, thinking that they can defeat the armies of Emperor Timur with similar strength in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, where they are unfamiliar.
"I know that you understand the organizational form of the army, and that even if you lose hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield, you can recover for a while, but as long as you send troops to Tianshan and are defeated, you will definitely not be able to defend the Central Plains.
." Timur said again.
"Impossible! The Central Plains can definitely be defended," Fu An said.
"Then how about we make a bet? If the Ming Dynasty fails to defend the Central Plains and is destroyed by me, you will surrender to me." Timur said.
"These are two different things. I won't make this bet with the Great Khan." Fu An said.
"Could it be that you don't have confidence?" Timur asked.
But Fu An stopped talking.
Timur asked a few more questions, but he still didn't speak. Of course it was boring to talk alone. Timur finally said: "Whether you have confidence or not, the facts will definitely be like this." After finishing speaking, he stood up.
, told the guards: "Ask Jesb to send someone back to report to me the situation on the battlefield."
…
…
Bayezid I looked at the tail of the arrow stuck in his throat in disbelief and fell to the ground.
‘I, Bayezid I, would die by an arrow. This is impossible, this is impossible.’ Bayezid I, who fell to the ground, was speechless and just thought to himself.
"Father, father, what's wrong with you?" Suddenly, a childish voice came from beside him.
He looked sideways and saw a teenage boy lying next to him, looking at him with a panicked expression.
Bayezid I raised his hand, as if he wanted to explain something. He still had many last words to say. But his throat was hit by an arrow. Not only was he unable to speak, he would not be able to live for long. His hands
As soon as he lifted it up, he fell down weakly and died.
"Father!" The teenage boy hugged his body and shouted softly without daring to yell loudly.
"Fourth Prince, put down the Sultan's body and retreat." A man with a long beard persuaded him.
"No matter what, you cannot leave your father's body to Timur after his death!" the young man said.
"The fourth prince, if he holds the Sultan's body, he will definitely not be able to escape! Timur will definitely send people to intercept him: but if His Highness the Prince puts on the same clothes as ordinary soldiers and escapes, Timur will not have so many people to intercept him from all sides.
It's possible to escape," the bearded man said.
"But," the young man still hesitated.
"How about this? The prince will hand over the Sultan's body to His Majesty's most trusted guards during his lifetime and ask them to take the body back. In this way, even if the body does not come back, His Highness's brothers will have no reason to blame His Highness." The bearded man advised again.
road.
The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Then call over the bodyguard that my father trusted most during his lifetime."
The bearded man immediately accepted the order and left. At this time, there was no room for any hesitation or slow movements. Although most of the soldiers did not know that Bayezid I was dead yet, the matter could not be hidden for long. Once the soldiers knew
Bayezid I is dead and the front will collapse immediately. They must prepare before the collapse to escape.
This young man is the fourth son of Bayezid I, Muhammad bin Bayezid bin Murad. The bearded man is Bayezid Pasha Muhammad, the minister arranged by Bayezid I to assist him.
Although Ben was only thirteen years old, he was very smart and was very popular with Bayezid I. When he was eleven years old, he was appointed governor of Amasya Province and learned how to govern the country. This time he came to meet Timur
When the empire went to war, Bayezid I also took him with him. Unexpectedly, Osman was defeated without even a chance to retreat, and Bayezid I himself died in the battle.
Soon the bearded Bayezid Pasha came over with the guards of Bayezid I. Muhammad Ben gave these people the order to bring back the body of Bayezid I. After they accepted it, he
After a few words of encouragement, he immediately began to make arrangements for his escape.
Soon after, most of the soldiers learned that Bayezid I had been killed in battle, and the entire front line collapsed. Everyone mounted their horses and fled. Although Jesb had many soldiers, one was to protect Timur, and the other was
The purpose is to guard the captured soldiers, and thirdly, to guard against the cannibals and the Kurds having inappropriate intentions. There are not many people who can be sent out to pursue them, and it will be dark soon, so let the last 10,000 people
Run away a lot.
This includes the fourth son of Bayezid I. Muhammad Ben and Bayezid Pasha wore very ordinary clothes and successfully escaped from the pursuit of Emperor Timur's army after dark by virtue of their superb riding skills.
He got out and saved his life.
When they were finally out of danger, Muhammad bin looked east and said: "One day in the future, I, Muhammad bin Bayezid bin Murad, will definitely return all of this to Timur!"
…
…
After listening to the war report from the general who came back from before, Timur said to him: "Go and tell Jesb not to pursue too far, and you must restrain the troops. Don't execute most of the captured Ottoman soldiers yet, but all the Palestinians
All the bodyguards of Yeset I were executed. Don’t insult the body of Bayezid I. He was also a believer of the true God, so he was buried generously..."
The general wrote them down one by one, and after Timur finished speaking, he went to the front line to deliver his orders.
In the next few days, Timur did everything he had to do after the war, and he did it perfectly. He also appeased the Ogres and Kurds who had surrendered to them one by one, and each tribe rewarded them with something. And listen.
It is said that after Timur defeated Bayezid I and shot him, countless cannibals, Kurds or Armenian tribes who had originally been watching came to see Timur.
Timur would not be polite to these people. Each tribe was assigned a lot of tasks to provide money and food for Timur's army. Although these people were unwilling, they were even more unwilling to anger Timur.
Follow them one by one.
A few days later, the situation in the Ottoman Empire came to light. This originally powerful country had split into several pieces. If he hadn't been watching with eagerness from the sidelines, civil war would have started.
Timur handed over the captured Ottoman soldiers to different people according to the strength of each party. Then he signed a contract with Ottoman, led his troops to leave Anatolia, and set off back to Samarkand.
Before leaving, he said to the general who stayed behind to garrison in western Persia: "No matter how hard the Ottomans in the west fight themselves, you are not allowed to participate in the Ottoman civil war before you get my order. Under no circumstances."
