Timurid Empire Capital Balihei
A tall and burly middle-aged man was sitting on the patterned silk.
The middle-aged man is dressed in blue silk. The style is somewhat similar to Mongolian clothing, but the materials and patterns are more luxurious. He has a huge gold belt buckled around his waist and a white cloth wrapped around his head.
Although his face was expressionless, the sinister look in his eyes flashed from time to time, like a giant python, just waiting for the opportunity to choose someone to devour.
The second sultan of the Timur Empire, Mengxu Timur.
The real founder of Timur's empire.
On both sides of it, courtiers with a strong Turkic and Mongolian style were prostrate on both sides, with a strong look of awe in their eyes.
The Sultan in front of them was the supreme being to them.
Everything stems from this middle-aged man's iron-blooded methods.
No one can think of what he has done without being horrified by it.
Just like the beginning of all heroic stories, his father fought against the Mogul invaders in the river area, gathered the surrounding ethnic groups, raised the flag of righteousness, and resisted the brutal rule of the Moguls.
Timur's son, Mengxu Timur, was the most heroic young general under his father. He was only twenty years old. He led troops across the river and made great contributions to his father's drive away the invaders.
Timur, who was widely expected to be a national hero, naturally established a regime unique to the Turkic nation with the recommendation of the generals to replace the Mughals and attached it to the Chagatai Khanate.
The name of this new country is,
Timur Khanate.
Timur had lofty ideals. He not only wanted to build the Timur Khanate into the homeland of the Turkic people, but also established a country based on a clan, vigorously developed Islamic teachings, and declared this country to be the birthplace of God.
However, after the establishment of the Khanate, an irreconcilable conflict arose between Timur and his son, the general who contributed most to the Hezhong Uprising.
Father and son went in opposite directions,
Mengxu Timur did not advocate that the new country should regard itself as a khanate. The khanate will always be a subsidiary of the Mongolian aristocracy.
His father Timur advocated a more steady approach. After all, the new country had just been established and was surrounded by countries of tigers and wolves.
The Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate are very close at hand.
There is also the Muscovy Principality further north, which is about to take action.
The Ottoman Empire, the European overlord whose tentacles are constantly extending eastwards...
His father, Timur, didn't want to be the enemy of too many countries at the same time, so he chose to grow up obscenely first, and then slowly develop it.
The father and son had numerous quarrels over this matter.
The bottom line is,
My father felt that we should grow first and then develop.
However, Mengxu Timur claimed to be invincible in the world and believed that these neighboring countries were not worth mentioning.
There is an old saying in the Central Plains: ginger is still spicy when it is old.
But there is also a saying in the Central Plains,
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.
People like Han Xin and Huo Qubing appeared just to break all common sense in the world.
A person who has never touched a soldier can conquer the world as soon as he starts using it? Even novels don’t dare to write like this.
Unfortunately, such amazing geniuses also exist outside the Central Plains, and Mengxu Timur is one of them.
Mengxu Timur saw that he could not explain it to his father, so he never mentioned the matter again. Mengxu Timur gave up all his military exploits and became obsessed with raising guards and living in the world of dandies.
Timur only thought that his son was frustrated, and at the same time he felt infinite guilt for his son, so he indulged Mengxu Timur even more.
However, all these are just appearances,
Mengxu Timur knew,
His father is a national hero and the founding sultan of the country, with unparalleled prestige. He not only wants to overthrow his father, but also eradicates the weakness in Timur's country.
In the first year, Mengxu Timur asked his dozens of timid guards to shoot his beloved horse.
Most of them were timid and the Xue guards did not dare to take action, while the other half were timid and chose to obey the orders of their superiors.
Mengxu Tamerlane's favorite horse in the river was shot and killed.
After that, Mengxu Timur hanged those timid Xue guards who dared not take action.
The next year, Mengxu Timur asked hundreds of timid guards to shoot his own Baba, his childhood sweetheart's daughter-in-law.
Most of the Jie Xue guards did not dare to take action. Only six Jie Xue guards chose to obey the orders of their superiors.
Mengxu Timur's beloved wife was shot dead.
Later, Mengxu Timur personally hanged hundreds of timid guards who did not dare to take action.
The third year....
During an autumn hunt, Mengxu Timur asked thousands of Xue guards to shoot his father Timur.
Thousands of arrows rained down, instantly turning Sultan Tamerlane into a hedgehog.
Mengxu Timur killed his father and succeeded to the throne of Sudan.
Gathering all the troops, they marched eastward and westward. It took another three years to sweep through Chagatai, Persia, Khwarezm, and the Ottoman Empire like wind and clouds.
And these behemoths are the behemoths that his father Timur feared from the bottom of his heart!
Mengxu Timur is the protagonist of this era.
Mengxu Timur held his hands in front of his chest and inserted both hands under his armpits. This action means rejection in psychology.
Mengxu Timur did not trust anyone except himself.
"winter is very cold."
Mengxu Timur squinted his eyes, scanned the ministers, and uttered only four words.
Muhardar, the chief seal officer, walked out on his knees. He was a lean old man with a gray beard, his face was covered with wrinkles and black spots.
The chief seal officer of the Timur Empire was no different from the prime minister of the Central Plains Dynasty.
"Honorable Lord Sultan, should we change the situation to appeasement? We need to distribute food to the people in the newly conquered areas for the winter."
"no!"
Before Mengxu Timur could speak, a tall man next to Muhaldar, the chief seal officer, stood up suddenly.
The tall, muscular man has shaved hair on both sides, with only a small pull-back. His face is covered with scars, and one of his eyeballs is completely white.
This is Kaoxian, the military minister of the Timur Empire. Before becoming the military minister, he had always been Mengxu Timur's Qixue personal guard.
In other words, he shot the Sultan's beloved horse, beloved wife and father, and never once hesitated on Mengxu Timur's orders.
He is Mengxu Timur's loyal dog and scavenger.
Kaoxian glared at Muhaldar, the palm seal official, and growled,
"Those conquered peoples are losers! They are cattle and sheep! They are prisoners!
We don’t even have enough food for the winter! Why give it to them? !
So what if they starve to death? ! If they dare to rebel, I will twist their necks off! "
The voice of Military Minister Kao Xian echoed in the palace, and everyone frowned unconsciously when they heard the words.
It’s not that I have any objection to Kao Xian’s words, but because Kao Xian’s voice is so unpleasant, like two pieces of pig iron grinding together, even worse than scratching a blackboard with your fingers.
Kao Xian also has a huge scar on his throat, which may be why his voice is deformed.
Muhardar, the sealmaster, ignored Kaoxian's words and just closed his eyes slightly, waiting for the Sultan's decision.
