My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 687 Ulugh Beg doesn’t want to leave

"It's such an exquisite work of art. Those vampires in Venice would never have imagined that someone in the far East has cracked their unique secret recipe!"

In the post house, Ulugh Beg walked around a mirror several times before saying in admiration.

After the deal of exchanging land for hostages was concluded, Ulugh Beg was also allowed to meet with the Timur mission. When he saw the mirror given to them by Zhu Zhanhe in Beisunhu's room, he was amazed again and again.

During this period, Ulugh Bo received Zhu Zhanhe's permission and was able to move around the city of Xijing. He also saw many things he had never seen before, such as the flying things they saw on the battlefield. He now knows That kind of thing is called a hot air balloon, and it was invented by Zhu Zhanhe himself.

"Brother, please stop boasting. Just because of this mirror, we lost one of the important bargaining chips. As a result, we can only cede Kabul, not even two corner cities."

Beisun Hu, who was next to him, said with a frustrated look.

Kabul was an important military town in the southwest of the Timur Empire. They lost Peshawar before and now they have lost Kabul. In the future, their army can only retreat to the Balkh area in the center, which is equivalent to losing control of the southwest region.

"What's the use of leaving two corner cities? With the current strength of the Han Dynasty, as long as they take the main city, it will only be a matter of time before they capture the corner city."

Ulugh Bo said very calmly.

During this period, through understanding the Han Dynasty, he also had a general understanding of the strength of the Han Dynasty. Although the number of Han people in the Han Dynasty was less than one million, the military strength was very strong, especially the emphasis on various new weapons. , far beyond the Tamerlane Empire.

So now Ulugh Beg is actually very clear-headed. Facing the expansion of the Han Empire, they are unable to stop it at all. They might as well give up some land and strive to maintain a friendly state with the Han Dynasty.

"Governor, how can you say that? Although the Han Dynasty is powerful, we Timur are not vegetarians. If the old Sudan had not died of illness on the road, maybe the entire Ming Dynasty would have been conquered by us!"

When the fireman heard what Ulugh Beg said, he was also very dissatisfied.

The Fire Man is a traditional nobleman of the Timur Empire. When he was young, he followed Timur to participate in the Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty. These were also some of Timur's most important expeditions. A total of 20 troops were mobilized, but the result was that Timur died. Stopped on the way.

Regarding this matter, the Fire Man has always been worried about it, believing that if God did not take away Timur's life, then their Timur Empire would conquer the entire East and West and regain the power of the Mongol Empire.

"Huo Zhe, you underestimate the Ming Dynasty. Even if my grandfather led his troops to the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult to defeat the Ming Dynasty. Because the emperor at that time was the father of the Han Emperor, and the opponent was just a prince, and he captured his nephew in just four years. He took the throne and went on several expeditions to the north, killing the Mongols on the grasslands. The most important thing is that the opponent was much younger than my grandfather. Do you think my grandfather could defeat such a powerful enemy?"

Ulugh Beg retorted.

He has studied the history of the Ming Dynasty in detail, and also studied the father and son Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu. The more he studied, the more awe he felt towards the Ming Dynasty. Just a big man who was separated from the Ming Dynasty was already so powerful, let alone the Ming Dynasty. , so he did not think that his grandfather could conquer the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother, you two should stop arguing. My grandfather has been dead for so many years. What's the use of talking about it now?"

Although Bei Sunhu was impatient, he was still very sober and immediately stopped the argument between the two.Although the fireman was unconvinced, thinking of Ulugh Beg's identity, he finally held back and said nothing more.

"Brother, the other party allows you to come to see us, but in order to let you go, you will definitely have to wait until Kabul is handed over to the other party. At that time, we may have to take a step forward before we can pick you up again in the future."

Beisunhu said again at this time.

He must bring the deal reached between the two countries back to Timur, and only after his father Shaharul nods, can the deal be truly delivered to Kabul. Before that, Ulugh Beg may have to stay in Dahan.

"No problem, you can go back first. His Highness the Crown Prince takes great care of me. I also had a lot of fun in Dahan. If it were not restricted by my status, I really want to live in Dahan for a few years before going back."

When Ulugh Beg said the last words, he actually showed a reluctant expression.

During this time, he not only saw many new things in Dahan, but also learned a lot of new knowledge. Among other things, the astronomy that Zhu Zhanhe taught him made him feel eye-opening.

In addition, Ulugh Beg also made a group of friends in the Imperial Academy and Sitianjian, and they were very happy to chat, which was much more comfortable than when he was the governor of Samarkand.

Hearing Ulugh Beg's words, Besun suddenly felt dumbfounded. They tried their best to negotiate with Dahan and wanted to take their eldest brother back as soon as possible. But luckily for him, he got addicted to staying in Dahan and now he is reluctant to go back. Well, if this spreads out, who knows how others will arrange their Timur Empire?
"By the way, when you leave, don't forget to buy more mirrors like this. It's also a good idea to give them away."

Ulugh Bo did not forget to help Zhu Zhanhe sell mirrors at this time. He even thought in his heart that when he left, he must let Zhu Zhanhe give him a few more mirrors.

"Brother, don't worry. Both the Black Sheep Dynasty and Osman are vying to buy this kind of mirror. Of course we can't lag behind. I've already asked people to talk to Dahan officials. I think we can get some of the mirrors."

Beisun suddenly nodded and replied.

The cession of Kabul caused the Timur Empire to bleed a lot. Now we can only buy more mirrors and then sell them to small European countries, which should be able to make up for some losses.

"That's what we should do. Back then, those profiteers in Venice regarded mirrors as treasures. Even my grandfather asked them for the production method, but they refused to give it. This time the big man's mirror appears, it will definitely make them bankrupt!"

Ulugh Bo chuckled.

Although the Timurid Empire, the Black Sheep Dynasty, and the Ottoman Empire are mortal enemies of each other, their views on Europeans are surprisingly consistent. No matter who comes to Europe, they will brutally massacre and suppress Europeans, especially against Europeans. The businessmen in Venice were even more contemptuous and wanted to kill them quickly.

A few days later, Timur's delegation was the first to leave Xijing. They did not take away Ulugh Beg, but they brought dozens of large and small glass mirrors.

Just after the Timur mission left, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly received news from the Ming Dynasty. Both of these news were not good for him. The first was that Zhu Qizhen was canonized as expected. As the prince, the second thing is that there was another rebellion in Jiaozhi.
