To be fair with him, Bayezid was writing letters full of shitposting to Timur.

>he never conquered Ming to restore based Yuan
Literally the only good/cool thing he could have ever done and he died before even starting.
He was a barbarian with a low IQ, that thought that he could use Islam to kill others - especially other Muslims.
Nominally Muslim, actually a Turk/Mongol supremacist.

implying nationalism existed back then

Yeah...no.
Ming Dynasty was just recently founded and ruled by Emperor Hongwu. Who was a military genius himself. So was his son, Yongle, who invaded and conquered inner mongolia.
You're talking of the guys who ended the Mongs in China and chased them to their land and ended them there too.

>Based
Imperial Dynasties younger than the average 200 year mark of a successful Chinese dynasty can't be labelled as "based."

At least I was born in a world with decent toilets and able to be part of the biggest hurdle humanity have faced yet (global warming).

>>You will never become a respected General in the mongol army
He was not
>>You will never overthrow the Khan to create your own Empire
He did not
>>You will never marry a qt3.14 princess descended from Genghis Khan to legitimize your rule
Only to kill her b/c some architect kissed her hand. He also put the architect to death. Became bitter as fuck everafter
>>You will never be so feared that you're called the "sword of islam"
I prefer "Father of Victory"
>>You will never conquer entire countries to create an Empire
Not an empire, more like atribal federation, Timur had to reconquer his "empire" again and again
>>You will never make your lands rich under your rule
His land s were poor as fuck, the rich "lands" like Baghdad, he conquered like 3 times and by the ned of it, it was just a small town. He did make Samarkand a glorious city though, as well as Bukhara
>>You will never almost destroy an entire branch of christianity
Source?
>>You will never kill a significant percent of the world's population
He did not

Him and his racial brethren slaughtered countless non-Turkic Muslims.

Timur's thing is non-nationalist, non-ethnic, non-tribal at all. Religious probably.
Timur's army consisted of Turkics, Mongols, Turcomongols, Persians, Arabs, Kurds, and whatnot. His empire was an empire of HIM & HIS DYNASTY. It wasnt like the Mongols who established "A Mongol" empire, it was him creating a "Timurid" one.

A single dynasty ruling more than 300 years is a achievement.
Must dynasties either got killed or were usurped

It's like they didn't even bother converting them.
>>443370
Why would they?
Taxation >>> Conversion
>>443370
And risk all around civil war?

>You will never make your lands rich under your rule
Timur just sacked cities and hoarded riches in Samarkand. He didn't give a flying fuck about administrating the lands he conquered. Hell he killed shit tons of persians stagnating the place for centuries.
On a more positive note he killed more muslims than any other person in history ever. And this despite being a muslim himself.

Hello from Ivanhoe VI to cousin Timur,
Hope, we could play with some girls of glamor.
>>443310
A Ming-Timur war would've massive in scope. So much bloodshed and manuveuring.
>>443370
That sweet Jizya money m8, Umayyads did the same too.
>>440805
His name isn't Timur. Stupid arabo-acems can't read Turkic words
>>443554
Technically they weren't supposed to. Jiziya is supposed to only apply to people of the book.
