"idiot."
Mengxu Timur's voice sounded.
Kaoxian's face was full of excitement, and he stared at Muhaldar, the palm print officer, with his other intact eye. After a pause, he realized something was wrong, and turned to look at Sultan again.
I saw Mengxu Timur looking at him casually,
Military Minister Kao Xian exclaimed,
"Honorable Sultan, are you talking about me?"
Mengxu Timur looked at Kaoxian,
continued,
"You idiot."
Military Minister Kao Xian shrank his body together like a puppy, looking at the Sultan with fear and sadness.
Kao Xian didn't understand why the Sultan whom he respected the most said such a thing. Was he wrong?
But,
These are the original words of Mr. Sultan a few years ago.
Mengxu Timur looked at Muhaldar, the chief seal officer,
He said in a deep voice,
"Do as you say."
The old man responded respectfully,
"yes."
Mengxu Timur was too lazy to explain anything to Kaoxian. What does a man holding a knife do? Does he still need to explain to the knife in his hand?
Mengxu Timur thought more profoundly,
The situation a few years ago meant that prisoners in conquered areas could not be treated as human beings.
He indulged his men in burning, killing and looting. It was not that Mengxu Timur liked to do this, but he had to do it.
If he did not set a clear target to incite national hatred, the morale of his army would not be so high.
Moreover, burning, killing, and looting in enemy areas is a disguised reward for your subordinates. If you don't let your subordinates vent their anger, your dominance will be slightly shaken.
Mengxu Timur would not stop his soldiers from venting their anger for the sake of a few innocent women and children.
Obviously, Mengxu Timur has reached the level of Zhu Yuanzhang. The unique thinking of a person in a high position,
There is no good or evil, no right or wrong, only winning and losing.
Everything is just a means. If necessary, Mengxu Timur can also become a great benefactor.
Just like now, allocate food to the prisoners in the conquered area.
The enemy of the Ming Dynasty was ahead, and Timur's only flaw was that the captives in the conquered areas rebelled. As long as they were given a mouthful of food, no one would seek death and rebel.
At this critical moment, Mengxu Timur would not be stupid enough to put more pressure on those prisoners. This would expose Ming's weakness.
Muhardar, the chief seal officer, looked at the Sultan with awe in his eyes.
He is an old friend of Timur, and one of the first people to follow Timur in the river uprising.
However, I have to admit that Mengxu Timur is much more powerful than his father.
The born king.
Mengxu Timur looked at Finance Minister Kemumu,
This is a thin, middle-aged Central Asian man with high cheekbones.
"Let the word go, after the Ming Dynasty is conquered, any enlisted soldier can get a share of that fertile grassland."
Finance Minister Kemumu’s eyes flashed,
Respond respectfully,
"yes."
With one simple move, Ming's living chess was suffocated.
Those who have the same interests have the same interests.
Many people know that during the Civil War in the beautiful country, Lincoln led the north to defeat the black slave owners in the south, which directly changed the national destiny of the beautiful country.
However, there is one thing that not many people know.
In the early days of the Civil War, Lincoln never won a single battle and suffered repeated defeats.
Just because the Northern Army has no common interests, do we all have to fight tooth and nail just for your great dream of Lincoln?
Liberation efforts may have a high ideological level, but we cannot require everyone to have such a high ideological level.
And to put it bluntly, all the great achievements in the end will be attributed to you Lincoln alone. What does it have to do with the soldiers who threw their heads and died? !
The greatness of Lincoln is that he quickly realized this. Only those who share the same interests can have the same interests.
Immediately afterwards, he issued a land order, saying that each soldier could receive a piece of land, but this land was in the enemy-occupied area in the south.
This means that you can only legally own the land if you win the battle.
This was completely a blank check, but it was enough. As soon as the land order was issued, the Northern Army, which had been repeatedly defeated, quickly unified the north and the south like soldiers from heaven.
What determines the victory of the war is a decree.
Mengxu Timur's arrangement is very similar to this matter. As long as he defeats the Ming Dynasty, he can divide the Ming Dynasty's grassland. This is also a blank check.
But there is no doubt that in order to carve up the grassland, the morale of Timur's army will rise to the extreme.
Mengxu Timur even had an implicit meaning:
Take the Kohevo area in Timur's territory, for example. This area originally belonged to Dongkhwarazm and was the last area to be conquered.
When the Yuan people took control of the Central Plains, they divided people into four classes according to the order of conquest. The southern areas of the Song Dynasty that were conquered last were the lowest class of southerners.
In the same way, the people in the Kohevo area are now at the bottom of Timur's empire.
And as long as the Ming Dynasty is conquered, they will no longer be at the bottom, but the Ming Dynasty people.
Human nature is like this. When you see someone who is worse off than yourself, you won't feel miserable about yourself.
Conflicts abounded in Timur's empire, but as long as the Ming Dynasty was established as a powerful foreign enemy, all internal worries could be temporarily suppressed in the face of foreign troubles.
Not only Zhu Xiongying was determined to kill Timur, but Mengxu Timur was also determined to kill Ming Dynasty.
On a strange Asian-shaped chessboard, mountains and rivers are lines, and millions of people are pieces.
At both ends of the chessboard, Zhu Xiongying and Mengxu Timur were already sitting facing each other. Both players were confident of winning.
But there can only be one winner.
Mengxu Timur looked at Kaoxian again,
After a pause he said,
"Kohevo is heavily guarded. You can lead the troops yourself."
Kao Xian was a little puzzled, but he would not question the Sultan's order, even if he did not understand what he was doing to defend Kohewo with heavy troops in the cold weather.
"Yes, noble Sultan."
.......
Yandi
Zhu Xiongying was dressed in armor. His black hair was tied up and shining. A strand of black hair fell in front of his eyes. There was a solemn look in his eyes.
Looking at the sand table, he murmured,
"It's time to send troops."
As soon as he heard that the troops could finally be dispatched, the second-in-command, Zhu Feng, suddenly jumped in front of Zhu Xiongying.
said excitedly,
"Nephew! Really?!"
Zhu Xiongying nodded and looked at the fourth child, Zhu Di,
"Fourth Uncle, is it okay for you to lead the troops like this?"
A serious look flashed across Zhu Di's face. He also knew that this battle would determine the life or death of Prince Yan's palace.
A father can allow his children to make mistakes, but he cannot allow his children to be incompetent.
"Yes! Great nephew!"
"Third uncle, are you coming with me?"
The third child, Zhu Fan, leaned against the desk and nodded silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the sand table, there are two routes, one starting from Yandi and extending straight to the northern border.
The other road starts from Yandi and goes sideways, along the border of the Kipchak Khanate and into the western border.
The two routes converged at one point and ended abruptly.
Within the Timurid Empire.
Kohevo.
