780 [The Persian Emperor with a Crazy Head](2/2)
Tianzhu, India, the same word, just different transliterations.
The Port of Gomblon was quickly blocked. Under the cover of ship-borne artillery, Qi Jiguang led 5,000 soldiers to land and fight, and the Persian castle near the dock was surrounded.
The Han merchants here asked about the situation one after another, and Wang Zheng said to them: "Persia invaded Tianzhu for no reason, and I was ordered to go on an expedition here. No maritime merchants are allowed to trade with Persia before an agreement is reached. You can go ahead and contact the Ottoman merchants. Portugal
I ignored him and they didn’t dare to stop me.”
The merchants just waited to reload the goods and sail deeper into the Persian Gulf. In fact, there were trading stations there, and they could be sold at higher prices. The reason why the Persian navy still existed was to prevent this from happening and to prevent Han merchants from directly
Trade with the Ottomans.
The Persian Empire did not have many troops stationed on the coastal plain of the Persian Gulf.
Its main force is deployed on the northern border to guard against the invasion of Uzbekistan. Secondly, it is deployed east of the Mesopotamia to guard against the invasion of the Ottoman Empire. The remaining troops are on the Afghan side.
Wang Zheng directly led troops to attack the coast of the Persian Gulf. Persia was unprepared for this. In just one month, the coastal plain was completely conquered by Qi Jiguang.
The Persian emperor hurriedly mobilized troops from the east of the Mesopotamia, because the army there was the closest.
The Persian border guards left with the front foot, and the Ottoman army rushed in with the rear foot.
Non-aggression pact?
Sorry, treaties are meant to be broken.
While Wang Zheng was attacking Persia, he also sent envoys to contact the Ottoman Sultan, offering trade between the two countries in exchange for Ottoman military support.
Ottoman had long been coveting Eastern trade. In the past, he could only be a third-tier trader. Now the opportunity to be a second-tier dealer was presented to them. How could they not be tempted? The Persian emperor was so confused that he dared to mobilize the border troops to fight against Wang Zheng. Osman took advantage of this opportunity.
It is simply relaxing and joyful to enter.
At the same time, due to the brutal conquests of the Persian army, the tribes in the occupied Afghanistan also spontaneously launched a resistance movement, and could only continue to mobilize troops to suppress it.
Just when the country of Persia was empty, the Sufis, who had been oppressed for a long time, united with other sects to launch a peasant uprising, because the Persian peasants were also living a miserable life...
Facing internal and external troubles, the Persian emperor was stunned and quickly mobilized troops on the northern front to suppress the uprising.
Not long after the troops on the northern front were transferred, the Uzbek cavalry frantically looted the border. The Persian emperor could only send a large amount of gold and silver and asked the Uzbek Khanate not to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
The Persian emperor was crying without tears. I just invaded Afghanistan and stopped after occupying one-third of the territory. That was the reward the Mughal emperor promised me. Why were I suddenly surrounded by enemies on all sides?
What's even more frightening is that because trade was cut off, Persian merchants and nobles also rioted, forcing the emperor to negotiate peace with Tianzhu quickly.
In fact, Wang Yuan still hasn't figured out why the Persian emperor was so stupid that he invaded Afghanistan?
