Tabriz, the capital of the Persian Safavid Empire, is an ancient city with a long history. Genghis Khan's grandson Hulagu established the Ilkhanate here after capturing Baghdad and made its capital here.
The Black Sheep Dynasty and the White Sheep Dynasty established by the Turkmen tribe also had their capitals here, and the Safavid Empire of Persia that emerged later also had their capitals here.
It is not far from the Caucasus and is also very close to the Ottoman Empire. This is one of the important reasons why the Safavid dynasty of Persia has always been suppressed by the Ottoman Empire.
Because the Ottoman Empire's armies would approach the city at every turn, and they would approach the capital, many dynasties were established throughout the Persian Empire, but they never escaped this fate.
In the ancient palace of Tabriz, all the windows were replaced with glass from the Ming Dynasty. The spring sunshine shines in, making the palace look brighter.
Ismail I, who was only seventeen years old, was already a talented and strategic monarch. He defeated the Aries Dynasty in difficult times and established the Safavid Empire of Persia.
However, at this time, the Persian Safavid Empire had just been established and faced many challenges. The biggest threat was naturally from the Ottoman Empire in the west.
Due to the importance of the Dosafavis and the Persian Empire and the hatred of the times, the Ottoman Empire even generously funded its former enemy the Aries Dynasty to help the Aries Dynasty invade the Persian Empire.
However, Ismail I was not troubled this time. Although Ismail I in history was very young, he was an extremely accomplished monarch.
He even defeated the brave Shabani Khan more than ten years later, killed all Shabani Khan, and unified the fragmented Persia, once becoming an empire powerful enough to compete with the Ottoman Empire.
Of course, he was eventually defeated by Selim I of the Ottoman Empire. Then he became extremely depressed and drank all day long. He died of illness in his early thirties, and the Persian Safavid Empire he established was also destroyed by Selim.
His son Suleiman the Magnificent was killed.
Of course this is all historical matter.
Because Liu Jin traveled through time, great changes occurred in the Ming Dynasty, which also affected this place.
Shaibani Khan in the east was defeated by the Ming Empire's army, and the area in the middle of the river fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ottoman Empire angered the Ming Empire again, and was conquered by the Ming Empire's 200,000-strong army. The Persians' days were shortened.
That's much better.
"Is this character the character Nian Di?"
In the palace, the clear voice of Ismail I echoed. He was learning to communicate in Ming dialect in Persian, and he was holding a book from the Ming Dynasty in his hand.
"Yes~"
"The word emperor has a noble meaning in Ming Dynasty characters. Emperor, emperor, refers to the most supreme emperor!"
Challand, the teacher of Ismail I, nodded solemnly and said.
"The writing of the Ming Dynasty is really interesting. It is completely different from the writing here, and also different from the writing here in Europe. Every word has a unique meaning. Their poems are even more exquisite and rich in profound philosophy and philosophy.
It makes sense, no wonder it was able to give birth to such a great empire as the Ming Empire."
After hearing this, Ismaili couldn't help but nod his head.
As the Ming Empire became more and more powerful and its influence increased, the Persian Empire was also influenced by the Ming Empire everywhere.
To the north of the Persian Empire, the territory already borders the Hezhong Province of the Ming Dynasty. To the south of the Persian Empire, a large number of ships from the Ming Dynasty arrive in the Persian Gulf every day.
The Ming Dynasty's series of military operations in Central Asia also had a huge impact on the Persian Empire. The Timurid Empire and the Shaybani Khanate, which were destroyed by the Ming Empire, were both threats and enemies of the Persian Empire.
The Ottoman Empire, which is now being violently beaten by the Ming Empire, is the feud of the Persians. In addition, the colonial expansion of the Ming Empire in Tianzhu also affected all aspects of the Persian Empire.
All these gave rise to a trend of learning from the Ming Dynasty in Persia.
Of course, the main reason is that the Ming Empire was strong enough. Since ancient times, it has only learned from the strong, whether it was in Persia, West Asia, Europe or other places.
The powerful Ming Empire has too much to learn from.
After saying this, Ismaili I couldn't help but look at the huge world map. He specially sent people to make rubbings from the Ming Dynasty. It clearly showed the geographical location of the world.
It also marked the huge territory of the Ming Dynasty.
"The Ming Empire is indeed very powerful!"
"But every country has its own excellence, and we don't have to belittle ourselves too much. We Persians once established an empire as huge as the Ming Empire."
"As long as we always maintain a humble heart and learn from others with an open mind, we can become stronger."
Charland is obviously a very knowledgeable scholar and an excellent mentor. He also has great expectations for the young emperor in front of him.
The Persians have experienced thousands of years of suffering since the fall of the Persian Empire. From Arabs to Turks to Mongols, they have been ruled by foreigners time and time again.
The Persians even lost a lot of things because of this. For example, in terms of religion, the Persians in ancient times believed in Zoroastrianism, and later they believed in Buddhism, but now they believe in ylsj. Outsiders have branded the Persians too much.
, too many marks belonging to outsiders.
The Persians were eager to re-establish a glorious empire, and Ismail I made everyone see this hope. This young emperor was talented and liked to learn very much. He was also a poet, scholar, and extremely educated.
And a devout believer.
In the eyes of all Persians, he is the most ideal emperor and the hope for the Persian Empire to rise again.
"Teacher, what do you think the outcome of the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire will be?"
Ismail I naturally focused his attention on the Ottoman Empire. After thinking about it, he asked, this is what he is most concerned about now.
"No matter what the outcome is, for our Persian Empire, we are all winners."
Charland thought for a while and said: "The cause of this matter is actually very simple. Last year, the Ottoman Empire sent a mission to the Ming Dynasty and made several extremely arrogant and rude remarks to the Ming Emperor.
Require."
"Oh, let me tell you in detail~"
Ismail I immediately became interested and asked quickly.
"The ambassador of the Ottoman Empire demands that the Ming Empire must cut off all contacts with Persia and the Mamluk Kingdom of Egypt, and at the same time requires that the Ming Empire must hand over exclusive rights to foreign trade to the Ottoman Empire."
"Such an rude request was naturally rejected by the Ming Empire, and the powerful Ming Empire felt that it had been insulted, so the Emperor of the Ming Empire refused to receive the envoys of the Ottoman Empire."
"This made the Ottoman Empire very angry. It felt that the Ming Empire was humiliating their envoys, so it sent 200,000 troops to attack the Hezhong area this year, hoping to teach the Ming Dynasty a lesson."
Challand said in detail.
"Those are all excuses. The real purpose is to seize the fertile river area."
When Ismail I heard this, he immediately smiled and said.
"Yes, these are actually excuses. The ultimate goal is to seize the fertile river area, but it is obvious that the Ottoman Empire has provoked the wrong people this time."
"The Ming Empire is not those small countries in Europe, nor is it the scattered sand in the Middle East. The 200,000 troops that entered the Hezhong area were completely wiped out. The 200,000 troops of the Ming Empire directly entered the Ottoman Empire itself."
"No matter what the outcome of this war is, the Ottoman Empire will suffer heavy losses, and the Ming Empire will not give up easily. Over the years, the Ming Empire has continued to expand externally, and it lacks an excuse to expand to the Black Sea coast. The Ottoman Empire gave it
An excuse for the Ming Empire."
"What's more, the Ottoman Empire should never massacre cities in the Hezhong area. This greatly angered the Ming people, and they will pay a heavy price for this."
Charland smiled with satisfaction. Although the Ismail I in front of him was young, he was already very experienced in seeing the problem and could get to the root of the matter.
"The expansion of the Ming Empire is not a good thing for us in Persia. Now that we are bordering the Ming Empire, no one can guarantee whether the Ming Empire will continue to expand southward in the future."
Ismail I looked at the huge world map, thought about it and said with a sad look on his face.
"So we can't offend the people of Ming Dynasty, at least for now, we can't offend people of Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, although you have sent 100,000 troops to march on the border, you are always showing off. I think this will make the people of Ming Dynasty unhappy, and it will most likely bring us some trouble in the future."
Charland thought for a while and said.
"I know this will make the people of Ming Dynasty dissatisfied, but there is nothing we can do about it. Our current strength is still relatively weak and we cannot withstand the hardships. We must preserve our strength."
"Of course, I'm waiting for the outcome of the battle between the Ottomans and the Ming Dynasty. I can't really fight with the Ottomans until I have an accurate grasp."
Ismail I also nodded and said.
"Report~"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone hurried in.
"Your Majesty, the Ottoman Empire's army and the Ming Empire's army fought in the city of Erzinjan. The Ming Empire won a great victory, captured the city of Erzinjan, and completely destroyed the 200,000 Ottoman Empire's army!"
The visitor spoke hurriedly before he could take a breath.
"What?"
Ismail I stood up in disbelief.
"The city of Erzinjan was captured like this?"
"Even 200,000 Ottoman troops were wiped out?"
He was so shocked that he couldn't believe it. After all, in his opinion, the city of Erzinjan, which was garrisoned by 200,000 troops, was truly impregnable. Unless it had wings, it would never be able to fly over.
But now not only the city has been captured, but also the 200,000-strong army has been wiped out. What happened?
"Immediately send the order to the front line to attack the Ottoman Empire!"
Then, after pondering for a while, he immediately gave the order without any further hesitation.
The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came. The Ming Empire wiped out another 200,000 Ottoman troops, and it was time for him to take action.
