This chaotic environment provided the soil for Ottoman's growth.

Although the country was founded in Ghazi, no one said that we could not bring pagans to fight jihad, so there were many Christian soldiers in all the Ottoman wars. Until now, Armenians are still one of the main sources of troops for the Ottomans, and even though

The Purple Horde took control of the Balkans, but there were still some Serbian knights who fled to the Ottomans because they were dissatisfied with the rule of the Khan. This also made the Ottomans' actual available troops stronger.

Before the actual war started, Timur still adopted traditional strategies, sending people to attack the Ottomans through public opinion and calling on everyone to launch a jihad against the Ottomans. Soon, the Purple Horde, France and other forces responded one after another, sending troops to join the jihad, preparing to separate.

Marching from the Caucasus, the Fortress, Cilicia and other places, the Ottomans were in trouble.

Hearing that Timur was coming to fight him, Sultan Bayezid was very angry. He immediately condemned Timur as a "gazi of all people" and called on everyone to fight against him. Bayezid successfully fought

After a time lag, he defeated the Purple Horde vanguard near Nicaea. While the Purple Horde Khanate was busy shrinking its troops, the Sultan quickly rushed to the east with the Serbian elite guard to meet with the army there and prepare to defeat Timur first.

.

After the two sides got close, the Ottomans discovered that there were actually a large number of Persians in Timur's army.

The Persians have always been known for their weak troops. Filling these people into the battle line shows that Timur's strength is far less than what he boasted. Bayezid also fell into the mood of blindly underestimating the enemy and did not choose a battlefield that was beneficial to him.

He even rushed to attack without waiting for the soldiers to repair.

However, the Persians under Timur were extremely tenacious, which prevented the Ottoman army from making a breakthrough. Instead, the low-status Turks in the Ottoman army rebelled. The Ottoman army was defeated, and the Sudan was captured alive by Timur.

.

This major defeat brought the Ottomans to the brink of disintegration. The defeat of the strongest opponent in Minor Asia benefited the Purple Horde Khanate a lot. The Khan's court believed that it was necessary to express gratitude and show sincerity to further enhance the friendship between the two sides.

The Purple Horde Khanate and the Timurid Khanate are half-brothers with different pagan religions. Emperor Timur's uncle supported the Khan's house and made great contributions, which must be told to the world.

The Khan's court announced that Rome had been in decline for a long time. For the sake of stability, the first Khan Derrick divided the world into four major Uluses, which were managed by two Khans and two Deputy Khans respectively. However, the country was still in chaos.

, the four great Uluths attacked each other, and Rome has not yet been reunited.

Now, the fierce enemies have been eliminated one by one, and there is hope for the revival of Rome. Therefore, after discussing with the pillar states, the Roman Khan solemnly decided to grant Emperor Timur the title of "Co-Emperor of Rome". From now on, everyone will

They are all Romans.

This time, Timur himself didn't quite understand what it meant. He just thought it sounded powerful. Later he discovered that it was actually an honorary title.

The Purple Horde Khanate has a unique understanding of "Rome". They believe that it is an identity. Theoretically, everyone in the world can be a Roman. Even Mr. Huang, Guo Kang's grandfather, who has read many poems and books in the Central Plains

, also supports this view.

Mr. Huang's idea is that Rome is the Qin Dynasty - the Qin Dynasty is similar to the Central Plains - anything similar to the Central Plains can be called Rome. This view was highly praised by the princes of the Han Dynasty and became an official doctrine. Therefore, in the eyes of Zi Zhang,

Announcing that the other party is also Rome is a very advanced means of praising and winning over.

As for the Roman co-emperor, it was actually the name given to the rulers of other Roman countries.

Scholars with a Central Plains background cannot accept the situation of two emperors in one country, so they regard it as some kind of honorary title. In the words of the play, it is "Luo Zi Bingjian Wang", which is used to reward people who have made extremely great contributions.

.

For example, after the Timur Khanate accepted this honor, it could be called the "River Roman Kingdom", and Timur himself was the "River Roman Khan".

In the same way, France, another traditional ally of the Khanate, was also very interested in Roman titles. Shortly after this incident, the French king also spent a huge amount of money to donate the title of "Frankish Roman Emperor".

In principle, these are all similar, and they all fall into the category of "co-ruling emperors." It's just that because their original titles are different, they are called slightly different. However, because they all have the word "Luo" in their names, so

The nature is still the same.

After reaffirming the alliance, everyone set their next target on the Mamluk dynasty. The coalition forces fought with the main Mamluk forces in Syria. At a critical moment, a rebellion against the Sudan launched by the Mamluks in the Caucasus broke out in Egypt's hometown.

The rebels promised that as long as they support them as the new sultan, they will recognize Timur as the overlord and agree to the Purple Horde Khanate's request for a port. From now on, everyone will maintain peace and non-aggression against each other.

The Purple Horde Khanate had long been in contact with them and sent an army from Cyprus to Alexandria for reinforcements. When they learned that there was a fire in the backyard, the main Mamluk army was distraught. The Sultan was anxious to withdraw his troops, but was stopped by Timur in the process.

Defeated halfway.

After the victory of the war, each family began to divide the territory vomited by the Mamluk dynasty, and the Purple Horde Khanate was assigned to the city of Antioch in northern Syria.

After Heraclius was forced to abandon Syria, he was in pain at the border and said, "Beautiful Syria, farewell forever." This time, it was the first time that the Romans recovered this place after the Arab conquest. The Khan was very satisfied with this, and in the capital

and Antioch both held quite grand ceremonies to reward the troops and reward the people.

At the Grand Circuit in Constantinople, the Khan held a 100-day Naadam event, hiring a large group of Mongolian wrestlers from the steppes to perform wrestling with the Greeks all day long.

During the day, the citizens watched various fighting matches in the arena. After drinking too much at night, they could engage in unlimited fights with Xue Xue who tried to maintain order. After a few months, everyone felt very happy and felt that they had returned to the great era of Rome.

.

In Antioch, the Khan's court also held a ceremony to commemorate the ancestors of the Khans since Heraclius. The whole city was full of the ancestors of the Khans, and the heavenly father Aloha Tianzun, the heavenly brother Yishu and other religious religions.

The icon of the character is very solemn.

Grand water and land monasteries were also held in the port and in the city. The scale was so large that the Orthodox priests sent by the then Patriarch Yin were not enough, so they had to bring in a bunch of lamas and monks to help.

It was lively and lively for a while, and everyone was very happy. Even the Arab lords who were specially invited by the Khan's court in order to build a good relationship drank the grape juice for more than half a month, and all of them had red faces and were very satisfied.

.

This victory finally opened the sea channel for the Khanate to the Indian Ocean. After that, negotiations with Javanese and other countries and attempts at direct trade had a realistic basis.
