Since Genghis Khan unified the grasslands and established the Yuan Dynasty , the heroic and fighting characteristics of the Mongols have been recognized by people. As a member of the Mongolian nobles, Timur also created Timur during the Ming Dynasty empire .
As the dominant lord of the grassland for a time, Timur was forced to pay tribute when European envoys came to visit. According to later records, the person who forced Timur to pay tribute happened to be Fu, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. install.
When Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, Timur was still very weak, and he could only surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang. As Timur's strength continued to increase, he also decided to attack the Ming Dynasty, but he died in a foreign country.
Timur was born into a Mongolian aristocrat.
In 1336, Timur was born in Keshi, East Asia. It is said that his ancestors were from the same clan as Genghis Khan, so from this point of view, Timur was also a typical Mongolian aristocrat. .
When Timur was twenty-four years old, the Western Chagatai Khanate where Timur was located was defeated by the Mughals . Timur and his men surrendered to the Mughals.
Although in the eyes of many people, Timur was sworn to be loyal to the Mughals, in fact, he was secretly cultivating his own power, hoping to one day become independent.
As time went by, another steppe eagle continued to rise. He was Timur's ally Huxin . Their common interests made the two quickly form an alliance and eventually defeated the Mughals. people.
Without the invasion of foreign enemies, Timur and Huxin would not be able to live in peace, and the two had a fierce fight for power.
In order to defeat Huxin, Timur united with the surrounding small countries, and soon crippled his former allies, and occupied the Western Chagatai Khanate alone.
People have to admire him. Timur is still very powerful. He has always been vigorous and resolute in eliminating dissidents.
Create the Timur Empire
At this time, Timur was not satisfied. He was still expanding his territory in order to expand his territory.
In the following ten years, Timur not only went south to India, but also went west to Persia, and personally led an army to pacify Kipchak .
After completing these, Timur created the powerful Timur Empire in 1370.
As the well-deserved overlord of the grasslands, Timur, like Genghis Khan, began to work hard to conquer the world.
After more than thirty years of dormancy, at the age of sixty-six, Timur embarked on the road of expansion into Europe. His first target of attack was the Ottoman Empire .
In the fifteenth century, the Ottoman Empire not only consisted of dozens of European countries, but also had strong military strength and was a force that cannot be underestimated.
However, even so, Timur was still undaunted. He led his army by surprise and not only defeated the powerful Ottoman army, but also captured the ruler of the Ottoman Empire.
After defeating the Ottoman Empire, Timur's territory became even larger. Not only did he remove all surrounding obstacles, he also expanded the territory of the Timur Empire to Europe, becoming a huge empire across Eurasia.
Even compared with Genghis Khan back then, Timur was not inferior. After returning to the dynasty, Timur was praised by envoys from various countries.
was forced to pay tribute by the Ming Dynasty envoys
Among the many foreign envoys, the one that Timur valued the most was the Spanish envoy, because he had established good diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Spain .
Seeing that Timur's geographical territory continued to expand, the Spanish king specially sent envoys to congratulate him, Timur also specially held a banquet to welcome the Spanish envoys.
In order to show his strength, Timur also asked people to bring Fu An up. As an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Fu An was captured by Timur's people as soon as he arrived in the Timur Empire.. The reason why
made such a move was actually because Timur was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang when he was young, and he never dared to set foot in the Central Plains again.
Today's Timur is no longer the same as before, and after the Ming Dynasty experienced the Jingnan War, its strength was not as good as before.
Timur, who originally submitted to the Ming Dynasty, also planned to show off his power to the Ming Dynasty. , so when he saw the Ming Dynasty envoy Fu An coming, he immediately ordered people to arrest him.
At this moment, in order to show his strength, Timur ordered people to bring Fu An to the banquet. During the banquet, Timur deliberately insulted Fu An in public in order to give the Ming Dynasty envoys a disgrace.
Seeing that Timur was so arrogant, Fu An said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, Timur's empire is a subordinate state of the Ming Dynasty, but it has never paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Don't you know how shameful it is?
Hearing Fu An's question, Timur became angry and left the banquet hall on the spot.
Send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty
In Timur's mind, he had already made up his mind to lead his troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty. Seeing that Fu An was not afraid at the banquet, Timur was even more furious. Come everywhere.
The next day, he summoned his advisers, asked them to formulate a detailed marching plan, decided to raise food and grass, and immediately sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty.
Timur, who was already sixty-eight years old at the time, soon led 200,000 elite soldiers and embarked on the Eastern Expedition. In order to be foolproof, Timur brought seven years of food and grass, with the purpose of defeating Ming Dynasty.
After getting the news, Zhu Di, who had just moved his capital to Beijing, sent people to pay close attention to Timur's movements, and stepped up the defense from Gansu to Inner Mongolia.
However, what everyone did not expect was that the territory from the Timur Empire to the Ming Dynasty spanned more than 2,000 kilometers, and Timur was already old, and he soon contracted malaria.
Other soldiers also became acclimatized, so their march became slower and slower. After only a few months, Timur was bedridden and died soon after.
Conclusion
As an ambitious conqueror, Timur lost his life before he even set foot in the land of the Central Plains, which is also a very regrettable thing.
After Timur's death, his descendants did not inherit Timur's legacy, but focused all their energy on the fight for the throne.
In the next four years, the Timur Empire continued to have disputes. It was not until Timur's son Shaharu ascended the throne that the Timur Empire calmed down.
However, at this time, the Timur Empire was severely weakened and could no longer compete with the Ming Dynasty . In desperation, Shaharul, as the king, took the initiative to make friends with the Ming Dynasty and released the imprisoned ones. Fu An, the Ming Dynasty envoy.
