Love your video's Kings and Generals. Your one awesome channel to watch while the Quarantine is going one. Question: When is your next video on the Imgin War and Timur's war against the Ottoman's coming out?
Is it possible to see king sivaji 🆚 tipu sultan
Finally bruh
I wait for it thanks
Good video 👍👍👍
This constitution book of Timur, originally written in Chagatai Turkish, is still in the museum in Uzbekistan.
.
And the first law of Tenzikert-i Temur is as follows;
.
Law 1- Live to glorify Turkishness, to break the hand that lifts a sword to Turk!
.
And the end of the book ends as follows;
.
"We are Melik-i Turan, Emir-i Turkistan, our Turk son is Turk, we are the oldest and strongest of the Turks!"
.

Khalid was the sword of islam not timur go and search
@@meanmachinejimiofficial Timur called himself that too though. But somehow it didn't stick, wonder why 🙄

Sword of allah not islam
You stupid . You don't know Christian how many Muslim kill. Temir empire have Christian Muslim induism but timur not genocide. But more Christian empire kill more muslim induism and "American Indians genocide" European kill 90- 130million American Indians people. Documentsry read temir times, timurs time don't no genocide
The value of human life at that time was equivalent to that of a fly.
its still the same in china
Conquer or be conquered.
@@islamisthetruth3402 I don't really fully agree with you but I understand where you are coming from. I don't think that something that happens by chance - i.e birth - should entirely determine your life. Back then, the common civilian couldn't sleep with peace because she/he always had consistent wars at their doorstep. That is not really living, that is merely surviving.
At least now, in most places, this fear of being massacred doesn't ruin anyone's sleep (of course there are exceptions in some regions, I won't deny).
And still is in many parts of the world, unfortunately 😕
It still is the same for the commies and Islamists

That's larger than most European armies at the time. Really comes to show how big India was.

Places like Indian subcontinent, China and southeast Asia were always highly populated compared to the rest of the world. The Viking invasions only had couple thousand men at most, local Indian nobles at that time had minimum ten thousand cavalrymen as garrisons(10k cavalry was literally the lowest unit)
Europeans had fewer troops mainly because if European fuedalism which is different from Indian fuedalism.
I can literally listen to this narrator talk for hours. There's something about their voice that makes you want to listen.
The narrator is OfficiallyDevin, he has a TH-cam channel where you can listen to more of his voice.
He's the best youtube historic narrator for sure.
I hope he's never replaced. I got so used to it.
dude you are everywhere! From gaming to anime to history to news I see you comment.
Been saying Devin could read a phone book and I'd listen for awhile. He has his own channel called Officially Devin, check it out cause it's worth it for the story telling alone. Frost Punk and Roman Britannia something are my favs.
I feel bad for the animator, having to add portraits and names for people that die 3 seconds after being introduced.

"Followed him to the throne and then to the grave" is probably your most subtle but brilliant line in this series.
Exactly!! I laughed so hard! 😂
Father: son always follow me
Son : where
Father : first to my throne and then into the grave

I wish not to follow them to the grave
That's a sure shot way of getting your name added to that list
Timur was a ruthless man. He constructed a death fort which is still present in Pakistan near to my home. It consist of a tunnel with sharp blades embeded to the walls. When a prisoner was made to pass through the tunnel, the sharp blades would crush his bones and the body pieces were to be collected at the other side of the tunnel.
Wow, seems rough
Cool invention BTW
Can you be more specific about location/name of this 'death fort'? I suppose this tunnel was vertical hole and the victim was thrown inside from top?

Damn Timurs honor levels were in negative weren't they? At least OG Mongols used to spare those who surrendered.
Well one of his nicknames was something like the Duke of Death. So yeah honor at -999
but his dread bar is maxed out ...
He honoured only people who counted: his own troops.
User name OG Mongols didn't always spare those who surrendered; they just did it often enough to give defenders hopes. If you want terror, you need to kill stuff, and you need unpredictability.
Western propaganda cos he was a Muslim. He was bounded by the chivalric code of caliph Ali who was recognised even by the crusaders as a first knight!
I'm still afraid that Timur will kill me if I don't like his video.
Timur's mercy is what saved Europe from Islam. Only a Muslim is strong enough to not let Islam spread. He could've penetrated into Europe and conquered like he was mopping the floor. But the guy wanted God's law to be implemented elsewhere.

This Justification of Delhi massacres was lamer than Timur the lame himself.
I sense that they didn't want to dwell in that aspect of Jihad and raping by Timur's army. the comments are surprisingly calm between Hindus and muslims alike I think they wanted to achieve that and did well. Timur's atrocities were watered down in this video that's true though.

You know, I'm starting to think this Timur guy is a real jerk.
He is
@Mr K I respect his name, the father of Uzbeks
Yeah attacking fellow muslim country just for loot

@@Lipton3373 temur was barlas mongol , not uzbek
Mr K Turkic*
Mallu Iqbal: "I will repel you, like my antecessors had done in the past!"
Timur: "You're aren't your ancestors... Neither I am the previous mongol leaders..."
True af. Neither Mallu Iqbal was of Khalji origin neither Timur was of Mongol origin.
@kamrul hasan He is not Mongol. His father is Turkified Mongol and his mother is a Turk. He id ethnically Turco Mongol culturally Chagatai Turk.
@kamrul hasan Ottoman sultans had taken their legitimacy from Ottoman dynasty. Timur had no legitimacy. English dynasty is of German origin we dont call English as German. Timur and Timurids were definetly Turkic. Just beacuse his father was of Mongol origin, it will be absurd to call him or his empire as Mongol. He was of Chagatai culture which is present day Uzbeks.
@kamrul hasan Barlas was nothing but a minor tribe. They were not borjigin. Why do you think timur did not use khan or sultan title but he used emir. He did not have any legitimacy.
@kamrul hasan having relation with borjigin does not mean anything. "Sultan is a Turkic title" this is the most wrong thing I have ever heard on the internet. Turkic titles are Khagan and Bey. Sultan is a Muslim title in general. Muslim Turkic rulers generally used the title Sultan. Khan was among the titles of the Ottoman rulers for example Sultan Selim Khan. Also Padishah.
This guy was hell on earth. Was more ruthless than Genguis.
I prefer being dead than over being kept as a sex slave or child forced to fight for gengis in his army after he killed my family and friends.
Some sources claim he caused 18 million victims, the 5% of world population of that time
@@MusicIsLegal that's what the defenders of the fort did with their wife and children
@youcometome9 any sources for that claim?
@AJRUN ALSTHAN No, self declaration doesn't make you sword of islam. In that way, even I can claim to be the sword of islam.
Timur’s tomb was allegedly inscribed with the words “When I rise from the dead, the world shall tremble”.
yeah, we got machine guns now...
Man , this should be the plot for "The Mummy 3"
@Long Gone its kinda like the Egyptian mummy curses
@Long Gone it is true. The war started next day and Stalingrad was won as soon as they buried the remains of Timur.
@Long Gone it is true, and i couldn't believe it at first either. Also his tomb has the largest surviving stone of dark jad ( that is the stone's name in persian and arabic as i know it) and it is said after he sacked india, he made sure that the largest of such a precious stone would end up buried with him alone in samarkand.
On his way across the highway into northern India, Timur downloaded Blinkist and, reading up on history, realized that the Sultanate of Delhi were passionate reenactors of the late Western Roman Empire.
Knowing how this turned out for nomadic horsemen, Timur did his thing. He would be one of the few people to ever create unity between India's muslims and hindus, by forcing them to fight for their lives together. Truly inspiring.
Timur won the battle of Delhi because the Sultan made the rookie mistake of using elephants who, like in every battle since Ipsus, were afk for half the match and didn't get any kills. They then proceeded to yell at him over Skype.
Just as he was in the process of reenacting the Sack of Rome, Timur noticed that a guy named Bayezid had made a call-out post on Twitter and thus raced back to the Middle East in order to record the Diss Track that would end Bayezid's career.
Muslim end the mongols christians and other who say that they are most powerful
@@GARENAff99 Muslims have failed states
Timur did his thing indeed
I'm pretty sure this is historically accurate
The strategy of attacking the countryside to make refugees flood a city and starve it is actually genius, if not extremely brutal.
This tactic was first made by Gengiz khan
Ruthless genius!👏👏👏👏😢😭
I read that tactic in a manga called Kingdom.
@@mars-kw8xo guess who general ousen learned his tactics from
@@ashinjoy9368 General Ousen lived way before Timur was born

You may have hidden out somewhere and when you come out, the city you knew your entire life is in ruins, 99% of everyone you knew is dead, you have no food, all your possessions are taken and your house probably doesn't exist anymore.

We are living in the most peacefull times compared to whole history. So things that happened in the past seems horrible to us. May be our grandkids would say the same for our life.
Well, only don't say this about 20th century.
The world was a very, very different place before 1945 when imperialism was killed. Before then, the world was mostly a collection of colonial empires with heavy tariffs on each-other and no inter-dependence.
I wouldnt say more peaceful, I think we live in times were there is more proxy warfare than anything, mostly the Americans supporting the one side and the Russians the other. I am sure we would be at war a lot had it not been for the invention of nuclear weapons and the fact that the usage of them would constitute war crimes.

So at Bhatner, they killed their own wives and children in order to keep Timur from getting to them. Wow, desperate times.
22vx by this time it was a common practice among Rajputs who faced inevitable defeat.
Yes sir, the women were sold in Iran or raped. So, people considered it better to kill their family's rather than to be at the wishes of invading Muslim armies. Especially Rajputs
This was an honourable tradition of Rajputs as in Hinduism women were highly respected back then and to protect that sacredness of women spirit it was done. People will not get it but it is to fight and die by honour rather than by shame.
@@Md-vo2vb give me historical proof.
User 3456 don’t just blabber nonsense without any historical proof.
Ok so Timur defeated 4 Muslim powers.
The Golden Horde, Delhi Sultanate, The Mamluke Sultanate, and the Ottomans yet he called himself the sword of Islam Lol
Edit: Ok except the Delhi Sultanate since it was already weak
@@eddiesid1149 He killed more Hindus in a short period of time than any other muslim ruler.
@@eddiesid1149 he didn't kill a single Christian prince I assure u lol
He used Islam as a tool. Someone as intelligent as him probably new religions are BS but they are surely useful because religious people are easy to manipulate.
He called himself ghazi which means champion or warrior in the name of islam or more generally hero of islam. There is only one man who was called sword of God in the history of islam, and that's Khalid ibn al Walid.
@@filiusreticulum2926 In those days people actually believed in religion with devoutness. Im sure they also saw the benefits of using religion for loot, plunder etc. especially when their religion teaches that in order to convert non believers that is permitted. Timur believed that other muslim rulers were not true muslimes because they allowed the infidels to live by paying taxes. According to the Quran the jizya tax (religious tax) can only be taken on Christians or Jews not Hindus.
Things that i would like to point out :
- The city boundary, shape and location that you have shown is the later city of Shahjahanabad which was built in 1748 as 8th city of Delhi, while the 14th century city of Delhi was slightly south of that place and named "Firozabad".
- The Jama Masjid in question is not the current Jama Masjid that is famous, but the Jami Masjid in the Ruins of this city (Jama masjid simply means Congregational Mosque). Timur went back and had a mosque built exactly like that in his empire because he liked it so much
Thanks for the interesting info. Can you share the books where you read this ?

Tibiten never attack or try to Attack Indian subcontinent as in 5000yrs
Neither do Indian subcontinent attack them
Timur may be a cruel person but he was a great military general and his strategies were very good. He went to invade first china then Tibet. China should consider it's self lucky timur died before reaching china
Timur is basically like a fantasy book's "Dark Lord".
Well, he certainly was not the most compassionate guy of his time..
In Timur's own words, fighting broke out between his soldiers and Delhi citizens when they refused to hand over their wives and daughters.
Timur probably never lost his mind to the adrenaline rush. Even after crushing his enemy, he had the intelligence to not enter the city at night.
12:46 Timer had no interest in building an empire in india...

It would look pretty ominous to see a bunch of pyramids with a skulls on top. Medieval 2 Total War first introduced me to the Timurid's when I was a kid like 15 years ago. Great game.
Most overlooked in the USA. He never went further west than Russia and Turkey, He conquered the Turks and carried the Turkish Grand Sultan around in a giant bird cage. Later the Turks wasted and terrorized Russia and Europe with massive slave raids... Actually they built pyramids outside every city they sacked made entirely of the human heads of the slain. Timur once built his own Wailing Wall. He had a tall wall built of living people and bricks, with the peoples heads and feet protruding, screaming and begging (in Persia I think).
He was many sided, liked education, art, architecture, was very sadistic, started as a cattle rustler, bandit, and ended world conqueror. He was famous for sacking all libraries and sending the books to Samarkand his capitol, He also sent all captured artisans of all types to Samarkand- the books left behind he burnt, the leftover artisans enslaved or killed.. Lucky for China he died before he got around to them. Persia credits Timur for the loss of at least 1/3rd of all their history, science, medical knowledge, art. I read Timurs book.
Timurs great problem was he conquered and ruled wherever he was, and whenever he left, rebellion broke out.
@@bluskies1000 did you poll 350 million people in usa? 😂
They could be just as overlooked in 100 different countries.......
lel, Timur wasn’t taking China which just overthrew Yuan dynasty
@@johnnyboy3410 he was planning on conquering China but he died before he could try it
@@alphagamer9505 he died on his way to China but he still wouldn’t have conquered it or come close to doing so
Amazing! as always
Timur was a muslim just by name , in reality he was the second coming of Genghis khan
His only intention was to plunder, didn't care of any religion or even land.
He was not a true muslim. He was an atheist.
@Klaidi Rubiku slavery is not forbidden in islam. fratricide was confirmed by the shayk al islam though its debatable
No doubt he was evil but he was great commander and his empire was best at that time
How is Timur doing any different from previous Islamic warlord? His legitimacy comes from exactly doing what warlords before him was doing.
7:35 They committed Saka(Fighting till death by Rajput men) and Johar(Self immolation)by women. Which was a recurring theme whenever situations were dire.
THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT WORK
11:55 I recognize the "looting" sound from Mount and Blade Warband! Good touch K&G.
“He did not want to get caught in a trap in narrow city streets at night”
Clearly, Timur was paying attention when KaG covered Pyrrhus a while ago
Timur reads alot at night, wait what... some Greek something Roman town at night, f×$$ that. I'll bring the nightlife to my camp.
There should be separate video for Taimur's invasion of Indian media 😂
Lol
Very good video I wish you continue in the series of Timur and share more videos in the future
More like Kings and Murderers in the case of this episode. What a monster of a human being.
lmao
I wonder how things would have played out if the Sultans of Delhi received help from the Jaunpuri Sultanate, the Ujjaniya Rajputs and the Rajputana under the nominal leadership of Mewar. These were the dominant powers in North India at the time apart from the Delhi Sultans.
All of them boasted significant heavy cavalry of Afghan, Rajput and Turkic origin.
This would have meant Timur's flanks being threatened by the South and the West, and massive reinforcements for Delhi from its immediate neighbours in the East.
With each of these players being able to field at least 10,000 cavalry, I'd imagine even Timur would have had a hard time.
If only there was a Total War: Medieval India.
There's EU4, start date is just a bit after this conquest, but you can play as mewar, jaunpur, timurids, delhi etc, but I'd wager you've already heard of it seeing your comment and the channel
@@tentathesane8032 yeah I know of it. Played it as well. Along with Hearts of Iron IV, Crusader Kings 2 and Total War Rome 2.
I love EU4, but I'm imagining a tactical strategy game, with real time battles, like Total War.
The problem with total war Medival India, is the same problem that 3 kingdoms has, after awhile it just gets ...Samey, since the unit variety won’t be huge. Ofcourse the Indian subcontinent was a diverse place , but in reality there wouldn’t have been. A HUUUGE difference in terms of the unity variety.
Of course, the games set in Europe, / west Asia have the same problem - the Celtic factions are very similar, the Persianate factions are similar, the Arab factions are similar the Hellenic factions are similar etc BUT those faction blocks ARE quite distinct from one another. You can take a Celtic Suebi tribe and invade Persia if you like and the two armies fighting each other would be so massively different it creates a strange fantasy. A total war set in India or China lacks that, and after awhile it gets stale.
There’s a reason that Total War Warhammer is the most popular total war ever, and it is because the Factions are all completely different.
That's like saying what if the Ottomans and Timur unified. The world wouldnt have a had chance. Thankfully for India. Turks killed each other off.
@AKANSHA that's funny and not true since, all Indian kings belonged to either the Brahmin or the Kshatriya caste. The highest and second highest caste in the hierarchy and they had no reason to hate each other.
LOL. Have you ever even tried reading history kid?
I m.thankful to u for bringing us so immense knowledge in such an easy way to understand
Hats off to your hard work only one channel on you tube which makes hiatory interesting

"Timur the greatest successors to ghengis"
Kublai : am I a joke to you
Kublai will forever a shadow Genghis to the point that a non Genghis is praised 😂
Kublai was a very peaceful Khan (by the standards of Genghis).
Timir was way more cunning and smart than Kublai.
Timur was türk
@@thegreatestchampion356 they’re different Timur a better tactical, Khublai a better administrator he opened thousands of schools in China even for poor people, a feat unmatched in the world for the next 500 yrs
Timur was such a progressive guy. He didn't care if you were Christian, Muslim, or Hindu, he slaughtered everyone equally.
Lol
Just like Genghis
We can't accused him of religious intolerance since he treat everyone the same even his own kind
Socialism for slaughtering lolll
first communist
Timur had very interesting character. He was ruthless genius but at the same time he was extremly found of arts and music. Probably he was the only commander draws buildings and city(Semerkand) plan. When he conquered baghdad he saw onion dome for the first time and liked. He made that kind of dome in his buildings. After his death his descendant continued that dome from north India to russia than it become symbolic element in russian architecture.
Stalin loved classical music and had an interest in painting and architecture. Still a bloody mass murderer.
@@ExVeritateLibertas he was interesting too

@@ExVeritateLibertas If you have no power to defend yourself, do not fight, if you surrendered to Timur, you did not die.

@@ExVeritateLibertas Hitler too.
Timur was more of a wild fighter than a noble conqueror. We used to think Genghis Khan was very cruel because he took over many places. But the 'Kings and Generals' channel showed that Genghis Khan had good reasons and plans for his battles. He only destroyed towns if they killed his messengers or fought back. Timur, on the other hand, often broke his promises.
This guy massacred 100,000 Hindus in Delhi and we've got celebrities naming their children after him.
Places in Punjab named Pir Muhammed !!
He killed both Hindus & Muslims, take your BJP bhakti somewhere else!!
He was not the only Timur ever existed in this world....Also He killed way more Muslims than Hindus in his life
Timur killed both Hindus & Muslims. And here you are saying he killed only Hindus. Take your RSS history somewhere else man.
@Alex It was not religiously driven....He wanted to conquer the whole world just like other leaders in the past tried....Most of his victims were Muslims so it was not at all religiously driven
Timur didn't slaughter Hindus and Muslims alike, Muslims were killed only if they were soldiers from opponent Kings, Hindu civilians were killed wherever he found them on his route.He even enslaved hundreds of thousands Hindus after his massacre in Delhi(needless to say Hindus were his prime target there) and took them across "Hindukush".
wonderful

I was waiting for this video, literally! Thanks :D (y)
About time you guys did a video. Have been waiting all week!
It is important to realize the extent of deterioration that had taken place in the Delhi Sultanate. In the events following Allaudin Khilji 's death, Rajputana under Sissodiyas, Deccan under the Bahamanis and South India under first the Nayaka then the Vijayanagar empire drove out the Sultanate armies. While Tughlaqs looked to keep control of the falling fortunes, regional Indian rulers had copied much of Alaudin's Khalisa system to raise stronger and better quality armies. Delhi Sultan's loss of Sindh, Rajputana and Gujarat affected the cavalry department badly. Since these were the only regions with good cavalry breeds apart from the imported horses. So the cavalry contingents became fewer in the Delhi armies. Defeats at the hands of the Bahamanis and the Rajputs in Rajputana further showed the detoriation of the military infrastructure. By the time of Feroz Shah Tughlaq, the Sultanate army quality was lower than that of its vassal governors.
You know one of the most irritating things is that this routing of Delhi Sultanate by locals is never taught in our textbooks. Its Delhi Sultanate and then directly to Mughals and then to British, never taught about Rajputs, Marathas, Jats and Sikhs. Basically tell a Hindu that you are a coward who was always ruled by others.
What I feel more important is to really emphasize the collapse of Alaudin and Balban's Khalisa system and market reforms. The Sultans were able to maintain their power on the strength of their Khalisa lands which enabled them to raise their own personal retinue. Alaudin reformed the market, setting fixed and lower price range to make regular commodities affordable for his troops kept near Delhi. Thus, thanks to these steps Delhi Sultanate could always fight any foe, be they local Indian or foreign Mongolian, with a decided logistical initiative, being able to maintain their army ever ready for action. With the civil wars that followed Alaudin's death, this system broke down and soon the Sultan's central power decreased till the time he became just the first among equal chiefs and nobles.
@@RahulYadav-uv8fz will to be honest that was the case for hindus for most of history
what is khalisa? turkic slave cavalry system seen everywhere else?
@@muharremrevani3895 Khalisa or in Persia the Khassa system was basically a large fief from which the ruler would raise his own troops rather than rely on his feudatories and governors. Alaudin Khilji brought in market reforms lowering prices and inflation, this enabled him to maintain larger army through his khalisa lands. These troops would later often be called Khasgi or Khassa troops.
Also Turkic military system was used by the Sultanate armies: Amir commanded a regiment or Risala, often called a Risaldar. A Malik commander multiple amirs and their Risalas, was also called often the Faujdar. While finally a Khan ranked officer commander a full provincial army, often called Sar I Lashkar or Ariz i Lashkar.
Even India couldn’t struggle with Timurids... I’m impressed how Timur was a greatest Turko-Mongol leader
"was an greatest" dude...
@Fahim Hussain @Александр Lol You should ask the Huns, Arabs, Sakas, etc. No Indigenous Indian empire was ever defeated by invaders.
@@jupe2001 It's not the same as never being invaded. You can win every battle and still lose the war which India did.
@delli delli Well, the huns almost did, but they got defeated twice, once by Skandagupta, and another time by a coalition of local Indian rulers, what led to the downfall of the Guptas, was Skandagupta's spending too much to conquer the Huns, and the Hunnic invasions encouraged governers to revolt or change sides, so the huns lost the war, but you can say that they kind of won indirectly.
what you kean wven India. They have lost every single battle in their history
Thanks for a detailed documentary
5:22 I am from Multan, Yes this is true. Multan had seen alot of warfare. Our city foundation was laid by Kasheep Puri who was a worshiper of Fire or you can say Worshiper of sun. Multan real name was Kasheep Puri he named the city on his own name. Multan had geographically importance and was a wealthy city/state.
Here are raids or attempts to conquer or conquered.
Raided by Persian Empire. Raja Kasheep puri lost.
Raided by Alexander the Great.
Raided by Raja Jusebin.
Raided by Muhammad Bin Qasim.

Now modren day Multan Part of Pakistan. 😃🥰😍
There are alot of name I forgot to mention or I don't remember.
KashyapPuri named by Kashyap Muni. Yes Multan has seen a lot of invasions.
Lol, you'll are a really mixed bunch of lads.
The region of current day pakistan was the last line of defence. Cities like Peshawar Multan were our last line of defence. I mean for us residence of the subcontinent. That was before the Europeans found the sea route.
Even today if you see India and pakistan are not separate entities by geography. Both suffered everytime the central asians or Iraninan empires decided to strike. I wish the leaders and people go through history and learn how much Hindus and Muslims have fought together to save our traditions and history.
@Klaidi Rubiku Cities are raised and slaves were captured. Then they were transported in their thousands via the Hindu Kush because these were hindisani prisoners. Both Hindus and Muslims were captured and sold. Turks and Mongols did not care where u came from or what you believed.
After 10-15 years slowly ppl start to occupy the plundered city and rebuild it. Example is the Syrian cities that are war torn like Homs. It was almost destroyed but ppl are slowly returning and rebuilding it.
Multan has the Surya Fire Temple which was destroyed by the Qarmatians. The Surya Fire Temple had the most gold and the Qarmatians destroyed it.

Thanks.Really good!.
Been waiting
Timur is a tactical genius, he immediately capitalized both on his strengths and his enemy's weaknesses. He did not want long sieges so he used terror and military prowess on the field to scare cities into submission. He also used a favourite mongol tactic of terrorising the countryside to force many of its inhabitants to flee to cities to quickly starve the defenders and to spread panic in the city.
thanks again for covering more of timur, very interesting and highly capable character indeed
Too nice historic video full of clear explaining of chains events which were bloody battles and death of authorities
Awesome content.
timur is one of the undefeatable generals in past time.
Like Genghis Khan before him, Timur was a true leader of his troops. He knew that he needed to rule with strong discipline, but also he knew that, in order to have their unquestionable loyalty, he needed to reward then generously by allowing to plunder.
Ah, this is what I was waiting for!
i loved all your vedios thankyou for uploading
"A line of elephants with poison tusks" are you sure these weren't warhammer Orks. That's the most metal sentence I've ever heard.
Most likely made up, you can never trust these sources 100%
Funny coincidence I was just reading Timur's account in this invasion. Now I can watch the video. Awesome!
Historians never talked about Timur, this incredible military commander.
He has never seen defeat. And defeated many large empires and civilizations.
If he lived a little longer, he would have conquered entire China without problems.
I do not think, when Timur was still alive, Ming China had very competent generals, with a competent emperor and a stable administration which knew how to overthrow the Yuan (Mongolian) dynasty and we knew how to counter the techniques of nomadic war, d 'elsewhere, China were developed militarily especially at the level of gunpowder to counter their lack of cavalry, moreover that is how the song dynasty resisting nearly 74 years against the Mongol invasion!
China haded gunpowders and advanced weapons Timur would have gotten humbled and don't forget his empire was a tributary state to the Ming
They could raid China, but far from conquered China
@@teo5758 Timur is a leader at the level of Chengiz Khan.
I am a Crimean Tatar and I can say that Timur is one of the top 5 the Conqueror
in the World.
The defeat of the Turkic Ottoman Empire and the Mongol Golden Horde in 2 hours is an indication of this.
Comparing Timur with the last Yuan Emperor(Khan) is a fool. They are a cookie for Timur.
@Muqan Khagan Even genghis khan could not invade all of China despite his military knowledge! even her grandson Mongke was killed in a siege against a Chinese fortress! As I said, it took almost a century and 3 generations of khan to conquer all of China, Timur would not have survived long enough and even if eventually he would have had success from the start of the war against the MING, China would have pushed back the invasion and would even have continued the territorial expansion towards the west and recreate an empire like that of the Tang dynasty, after the death of Timur his empire was worsened and had not have survived long and it was pretty quickly divided!
"Timur knew a showdown between them was coming and so do you." That's what I like!!

Very nice video like always.
My 2cent thoughts for little improvement of the videos - the font size of the names of the characters are abit small. I cant read it on my TV. Maybe just increasing their size is all that it needs.

When Timur graced your city with his presence, destroying and burning everything he saw, to you it was the most important day of your life. To Timur, it was Tuesday.
Hey, Kings and Generals! I am big fan but I have a small criticism with some of your latest videos. Lately, during the map segments, the character icons look too small to read their names until you zoom more and sometimes you don't zoom during a whole segment. The narration helps but sometimes there are characters and cities you don't mention by name.
I hope you can continue to make great videos!
