Samarkand.
Harry led a group of generals such as Kureshan, Nick, and Turgo, as well as a group of civil servants such as Qiu, Shou, and Sun En, and left the city of Samarkand ten miles east to receive the Ming Dynasty's envoy.
It is not appropriate to call it a mission, it should be called an arms transport team.
The person responsible for escorting the firearms was none other than Cai Xiongying, who had fought in Western Xinjiang and made great contributions, and was appointed as the commander of the Polo Guard.
Turgo, Nick and others did not agree with Harry's personal greeting. After all, Ming Dynasty did not have dozens or hundreds of people to transport firearms this time. If something happened, they could handle it. They came with 5,000 people.
And these five thousand people are all guard sergeants under the Western Xinjiang Dusi. Once they want to do something, they will instantly become the masters of tigers and wolves. What's more, they are transporting firearms. There are a large number of firearms. Once they are taken, it is difficult to even have a chance to escape.
As the king of Timurid, Harry really shouldn't take risks.
However, Sun En, Ku Lei Shan, Qiu Yu Shou and others strongly supported Harry to welcome him personally to express their importance and gratitude to Daming for providing firearms. Of course, the deeper consideration is that if there is trouble ten miles outside the city, at least there is a chance within the city to deal with it, or to evacuate the royal family. If Cai Xiongying had waited until Cai Xiongying brought his people to the gate of Samarkand to greet him, the entire city would have been instantly exposed to the Ming Dynasty's artillery fire.
Harry believed in his own judgment. Zhu Yunwen did not have the energy to attack Timurid now.
The surrender and resettlement of Oara has restrained most of the energy of Western Xinjiang, and it will not be possible to divide and disintegrate the grassland in five or ten years. What's more, although the Ming Dynasty fought many battles and achieved great victories, the fatigue of the people was inevitable. The Ming Dynasty would rest and recuperate instead of embarking on another journey.
What's more, the Ming Emperor accepted Sabina and signed the peace covenant between Ming Dynasty and Timurid. It was impossible to draw the knife in the year when the covenant came into effect.
Harry saw Ming's motorcade, going in a row with no end in sight.
Cai Xiongying, Zhou Shan and others arrived first on horseback. Seeing Harry personally greeting him, they smiled heartily, got off their horses and saluted.
Harry stepped forward and said, "General Cai, General Zhou, thank you for your hard work!"
Cai Xiongying said proudly: "King Harry, we were ordered to transport firearms. Since the king is here, how about delivering it here?"
Harry looked at the carts covered with felt cloth and knew that underneath were the long-awaited firearms. He smiled and said: "How can we entertain Ming's brother army here? They should enter Samarkand. I have ordered people to prepare them." We prepared delicious food to entertain you who have worked hard along the way."
Cai Xiongying waved her hand and refused: "Your Majesty has a decree. After the firearms are delivered and delivered clearly, you must immediately return to the Western Xinjiang Province without staying longer, so as not to worry the people of Timur."
"this……"
Harry didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to be so considerate, which made him seem a little petty when he was greeted by Shili.
Cai Xiongying watched the motorcade slowly stop and took out a document from his arms: "According to His Majesty's decree, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office approved the document, and the Western Xinjiang Governor escorted a batch of firearms to King Harry. This is the first A batch of firearms, including the Ming Dynasty’s most advanced 30 squatting tiger cannons, 3,000 gunpowder shells, 3,000 divine machine cannons, 10,000 fire blunderbuss and corresponding gunpowder, please send someone to take inventory of King Harry.”
Harry was excited.
Although the thirty-door tiger squatting cannon is a bit missing, it is better than nothing.
Timur's country is not without firearms craftsmen. In the future, if they study it, they will be able to imitate it. Once it possesses this kind of killing weapon, it is not an empty dream for Timur's country to regain its glory.
Seeing that Cai Xiongying was so straightforward and without pretense, Harry ordered Kuleishan and Sun En to lead an investigation, and planned to send someone back to bring a batch of gold and silver. Cai Xiongying quickly stopped him: "The firearms were brought by the Western Xinjiang Dusi. But the receipt of gold and silver is the matter of the Chief Envoy of Western Xinjiang. This money still needs to be troubled by the king to send someone to the office of the Chief Envoy of Urumqi."
Harry was a little confused. It was not a good thing to deliver the goods with one hand and pay with the other hand, so why bother with it.
Qiu explained on the side: "If the military collects money without authorization, it is likely to lead to corruption in the military. In order to obtain money, firearms will be transported privately. The transportation of firearms and the collection of money should be handed over to two ministries separately.
By dividing people's responsibilities, you can ensure that the goods are goods and the money is money, and the two are not mixed. "
Harry nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's not unreasonable for Ming Dynasty to be strong. This method of managing subordinates is enough for us to learn."
Qiu strongly agreed: "We have a lot to learn from Ming Dynasty."
Harry's face was solemn and his eyes were firm.
It was impossible for Timurid to surpass the Ming Dynasty. Looking at the Jianwen Bao brought by Qiu and Sun En, it was found that a steel monster called a train appeared in the Ming Dynasty, which could roar in and roar away.
It’s okay to run fast. Timur’s war horses may not lose to the speed of trains, but the problem is that trains can accommodate many people and supplies, and can run day and night without eating grass or resting.
The Ming Dynasty made great strides forward, and the Timurid Kingdom could only follow their past footsteps and catch up little by little.
Learn from Ming Dynasty!
Kureishan and others clearly counted the points and confirmed that there was no problem.
Harry signed the closing paperwork.
Cai Xiongying pointed at the thirty sergeants lined up behind him and said to Harry: "According to the agreement, the Ming Dynasty will leave thirty sergeants to teach the use of firearms and ensure that all firearms from the Timurid Kingdom from the Ming Dynasty are not given to the Ming Dynasty." East."
Harry nodded and arranged for Kureishan: "Place these sergeants in the military camp and let them be responsible for guarding and teaching the use of firearms. The Ming Dynasty sergeants are all treated as commanders of ten thousand people. People in the army are not allowed to be rude or disobedient to them. Firearms matters must be subject to their arrangements.”
"yes!"
Kureishan agreed.
Harry didn't care too much about these sergeants. When he came to the Timurid Kingdom, he would have the opportunity to recruit them, give them better treatment, and make people respect them. Sooner or later, they would turn their hearts to the Timurid Kingdom.
After delivering the firearms, Cai Xiongying did not stay. He left all the firearms and led the army back to Western Xinjiang.
After Harry watched Cai Xiongying and others leave, he looked at the squatting tiger gun lying quietly in the car. He remembered the brutal hell scene of the Qamdo assassination and ordered people to bring the firearms back to Samarkand.
In the military camp, the Ming sergeant took out three gunpowder bombs and conducted a firearms test that shocked the generals, civil servants and sergeants of Timurid.
When the gunpowder bomb flew three hundred steps and landed among the sheep, the horrific bloody killing left countless people stunned. At this time, many people understand why the invincible Sultan Timur was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and why so many elites still cannot defeat the Ming Dynasty!
Compared with the heavy and difficult-to-move Huihui Cannon that throws big rocks, the Ming Dynasty's Crouching Tiger Cannon is really too terrifying. It can be carried by a single soldier, and the explosive gunpowder shells and fragments can kill within ten feet of the surrounding area!
"This is a real firearm. The return cannon and other artillery can only rely on stones to kill, which is too weak. Order our craftsmen to research and imitate gunpowder bullets. Once we master the gunpowder bullets, we will have the most powerful weapon in the Western Expedition. arms!"
Harry said to Nick, Turgo and others.
Nick turned pale.
It is said that the Ming Dynasty had a large number of squatting tiger cannons. They could defeat Timur and the Tatars, and it was indispensable to use firearms.
Indeed, no matter how elite the light cavalry is, they cannot resist such a lethal weapon. Unless they are fully armed, heavy cavalry and armored soldiers with no blind spots!
Nick saw the power of firearms and immediately suggested: "King, we should follow the example of the Ming Dynasty and set up specialized firearms workshops and specialized firearms soldiers."
Harry nodded heavily and ordered: "Shemalik is in charge of all firearms craftsmen and orders them to learn and imitate the Ming Dynasty's firearms. Shirzi Lai's army is specially in charge of the most advanced firearms, learn and practice firearms tactics, and make them available as soon as possible. They cooperate with the cavalry to form a fighting force."
Nick accepted the order solemnly.
Malik is the god who governs hell.
Erzrailai is the god of life.
The emergence of these two forces is very likely to change the future of Timur's country!
When Harry returned to the palace, Ruchi came in a hurry and delivered a piece of disturbing information: "*** defeated Suleiman in Rumelia!"
Facing the rapidly changing situation in the west
Facing the situation, Harry came to Qiu and Shou to discuss countermeasures.
Qiu looked at the map, suppressed his usual smile, and said seriously: "The expansion of the Communist Party cannot but be taken seriously. This person has grown into a huge threat. If we give him another two or three years, he will definitely reunify the Ottomans." Empire, ascend to the throne of Sultan!"
Harry admitted that the threat of terrorism could no longer be ignored.
Ever since his grandfather Timur took care of Bayezid, the Ottoman Empire has fallen into a state of disintegration. Bayezid's four sons have been fighting among themselves, and coupled with frequent turmoil in various parts of the country, the Ottoman Empire has almost existed in name only.
Although Suleiman calls himself Sultan, he has now been kicked out by the Communist Party. Before Suleiman's defeat, the Communist Party had already approached Issa in Bursa.
Now the only thing standing in front of the Communists was Musa, who was called Sultan in Edirne. Once Musa fails, then the Ottoman Empire will be re-established!
Judging from the number of soldiers, combat experience and combat power of the enemy, the territory he controls, and his personal wisdom, he far surpasses Musa. Musa will most likely not be able to stop the enemy for long.
Once the Ottoman Empire recovers, they will point their swords at the Timurid Empire, because the Timurid Empire has occupied many territories that once belonged to the Ottoman Empire. The *** will not give up Ankara and other important military towns!
The confrontation between Timurid and the Ottoman Empire is no longer something far away, but an imminent one!
Harry looked at Qiu Yukari: "What do you think I should do?"
Qiu and Shou looked at each other, Qiu pointed to Ankara and other places on the map, and said seriously: "This territory cannot be lost. Losing these is equivalent to losing our access to the Western countries. We need Ensure that the passage is unobstructed. Only in this way can we obtain more benefits and strengthen our strength through the Ming Dynasty's Silk Road."
Kari summed it up simply: "*** should be taught a lesson, an unforgettable lesson."
