Timur himself was the son-in-law of the Western Chagatai Khanate, and he climbed to a high position step by step. He regarded Transoxiana as his base.

He made extensive use of the military resources left by the Mongol Empire and unscrupulously plundered the remaining resources of the local forces in Central Asia. This was the foundation of his empire.

Although the Timurid Empire was powerful, it was a great empire that existed in extreme violation of objective laws.

This empire was built on the political turmoil and power vacuum caused by the Mongol conquest of Central Asia, and also relied on Timur's personal ability and skills.

However, compared with the Ming Dynasty, it is much inferior.

The current territory of the Ming Dynasty, both directly and indirectly ruled, is approximately 9 million square kilometers.

The Timurid Empire now covers an area of ​​more than four million square kilometers, part of which has been expanded in recent years.

This is also why the Timurid Empire can only submit to the Ming Dynasty for now. Although it has ulterior motives, it is only so in name.

"This is the territory of Ming Dynasty. It seems to be much more prosperous than our place, and this is just the border of Ming Dynasty."

"I wonder how prosperous it would be if we were in the capital of the Ming Dynasty."

In the carriage, Pierma Heima drank the strong liquor of Daming in big gulps and said with emotion.

He was a heavy drinker, had a tan complexion, and unlike other Turks, did not grow a beard.

Next to him was a Mongolian minister.

The strange thing is that both of them were communicating in Chinese.

It is neither Turkic nor Mongolian.

Perhaps the reason why Pierma Heima was able to come to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy had a lot to do with his proficiency in Chinese.

Judging from the excitement on his face, he seemed to have a great interest in the Ming Dynasty.

Although he is the eldest grandson of the Timurid Empire and looks like a young man in his twenties, he was born in the ninth year of Hongwu and is only sixteen years old this year.

It just may have grown a little too fast, which is also a characteristic of the yellow and white races, the white race.

Upon hearing this, the Mongolian minister smiled and replied, "Please allow me to use the title of Great Ming, and let Your Highness address you as your honorable one."

"Of course." Piermahema said with a smile.

"Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country I know of. Even the empire of your grandfather may not be half as large as the Ming Dynasty."

"I heard from those businessmen that there are millions of people living in the capital of the Ming Dynasty alone!"

The Mongolian minister said in a very exaggerated tone.

"Millions!!! My Allah!!!"

Pirmahema was completely shocked and spoke it out in Turkic.

The total population of the Timurid Empire today is about 20 million, and the total population of the capital of the Timurid Empire is about 800,000.

Pirmahema could not imagine how glorious and powerful a city with millions of people was.

You know, his grandfather once vowed to make Samarkand the capital of Asia.

Timur piled up the treasures looted from all over Asia in Samarkand. He brought the most skilled craftsmen from every city to Samarkand and built the most magnificent palaces and temples in the city.

But now compared with the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the difference is huge.

Of course the Mongolian ministers could understand Turkic, but they were influenced by Chinese culture and were shocked when they saw Pirmahema.

When Timur's chosen future ruler of the empire showed such shocking behavior, he actually felt a little honored.

This is the power of Chinese culture; it is unparalleled in terms of assimilation.

This Mongolian minister once served the Yuan Dynasty and lived in the Ming Dynasty for many years.

Although he has now defected to the Timurid Empire, in his heart he recognizes the Ming Dynasty's regime.

This is also the thinking of many Mongols living in the territory of the Ming Dynasty today.

Zhu Yuanzhang treated all ethnic groups equally, which won the hearts of many ethnic groups. In addition, they were influenced by Han culture and were also very loyal.

After all, even in the current Ming Dynasty court, the center of power, there are many Mongolians serving as ministers.

"Speaking of which, some of your highness's past is very similar to that of the current His Highness, the Grandson of the Ming Emperor."

The Mongolian minister said with a smile.

Of course, he was referring to Zhu Yunwen.

Hearing this, Pierma Heima immediately became interested, or he could say that he was very interested in everything about the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty, who had a similar status to himself.

Mongolian ministers also began to introduce Zhu Yunwen.

In fact, in terms of original history, Pirma Heima and Zhu Yunwen really had very similar experiences.

They are all grandchildren of the emperor, and have all been designated by their grandfathers as heirs to the empire or dynasty.

And both of them have an older brother.

Zhu Yunwen’s eldest brother was naturally Zhu Xiongying, who died suddenly when he was a child.

Although Pirmahemah's elder brother, Mahemah Sultan, is still alive, he died suddenly later.

The final outcome is similar.

Timur reprimanded Zhu Di for bullying his father and killing his nephew, and he marched eastward to the Ming Dynasty to teach Zhu Di a lesson.

As a result, he died on the way to the east, and his grandson Pirmahemah was secretly murdered by his cousin Khalil after his death.

The same cold ending.

The only difference is that the Timurid Empire fell apart after Timur's death.

The Ming Dynasty, the last Han dynasty, lasted for three hundred years.

When Pirmahema heard the Mongolian minister's introduction of Zhu Yunwen, he immediately became interested.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think: "If my eldest brother also died, wouldn't I be exactly the same as this grandson of the Ming Dynasty?"

He felt a little regretful. After all, at the moment, it seemed that his status and position were much lower than that of the emperor's grandson who was in a similar situation to himself.

If he knew that Zhu Yunwen’s elder brother Zhu Xiongying was alive.

I think Pirma Heima will be very happy.

"Let the team move forward faster. I can't wait to make friends with this grandson of the emperor."

Pirmahema gave instructions to the Mongolian minister.

Immediately, under the order of Pirmahema, the entire envoy team accelerated.

at the same time.

Ming Imperial Palace, Huagai Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on a chair and listened to the Jinyiwei next to him reading documents.

This was a document from the Timurid Empire. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not understand Turkish, but the Jinyiwei had a separate agency in this regard, collecting translations from all over the world.

This is a special agency of the Jinyiwei, similar to the translation agency in later generations.

Every Jinyiwei in this department knows some languages ​​of other countries to a certain extent.

"It seems that Timur has ulterior motives in letting his grandson come here. Does he think we can't see it?"

After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly.

Then he asked, "How is our eldest grandson doing? When Timur's grandson comes here, he should be back by then."

"Then let our eldest grandson deal with Timur's grandson."
