Through the lens of the telescope, he saw that the ports and even the non-port docking points were all Ming ships. The Fu Ships, steam paddle-wheel warships, etc. that he was familiar with were all here.
What shocked him the most and made his scalp numb was that there were already countless Ming troops wearing red military uniforms on the shore, but there were still an unknown number of Ming troops getting off the ship.
There were many steam-armored warships cruising on the outer waters of the docked port. Several of them, as far as Kui Yi could see, were giant-level warships.
Don't say that Bandar Abbas Port has been captured by the Ming army at this time. Even if it makes no contribution, it will be of no use if a fleet composed of the most powerful sail warships arrives at Bandar Abbas Port first to help defend it.
It's like throwing a big stone into the sea.
At this time, Kui Yi also understood why the intensive cannon fire quickly became silent after a while, but no ship escaped to report to him!
With such a huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty, there are warships that can fly at normal speeds on the sea, warships that are really rampaging, warships that have a super fast rate of fire, and all these things, once they get into a fight, what chance do they have to escape!
At this time, for some unknown reason, Kui Yi's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene when Europeans like them were along the African coastline, colonizing the local indigenous people easily with few to many!
But that's it, the scene in front of me now is so similar to when they bullied the native Africans!
It's just that this time, the roles have changed. The Ming Empire's army is the arrogant side, while the Europeans, Persian Empire and Oman are the bullied side!
After being shocked, Kui Yi felt bitter in his heart.
He is the European who has the deepest impression of the power of the Ming Empire. At this moment, looking at the powerful Ming army in front of him, including the Ming warships, he understands better than anyone else that no country in this world can resist the Ming Dynasty.
Empire!
At this moment, he suddenly regretted very much. Why didn't he persuade him well in the first place? Maybe he could become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty?
But now, he is the enemy of the Ming Empire. I don’t know how sad it will be in the days to come!
After recovering from the shock, he found that the Ming Dynasty's iron-clad steam warships, which were not afraid of bombardment, had quickly surrounded them.
Therefore, Kui Yi immediately activated the talent he had developed, and without saying a word, he used the thirty-six strategies of walking as the best strategy and escaping first as the best strategy.
The warships of the Ming Dynasty are so powerful that there is really no need to use any tactics. It is just a rampage. If you want to fight such warships, you are crazy!
This is the narrow entrance to the Persian Gulf, and Ming warships are lined up in a row, obviously not wanting them to escape to the open sea.
Except for Kui Yi, who led the Dutch fleet and stayed away from the Ming warships, some British warships tried to bypass the interception of the Ming warships and escape to the open sea.
Because they know that if they escape into the Persian Gulf, it will be a dead end and there will be no way to escape in the end; only by escaping to the open sea can they have the possibility of escaping!
However, they quickly discovered in despair that the warships of the Ming Dynasty were chasing them in batches. Even if they managed to escape the first batch of interceptions, they would not be able to escape subsequent interceptions.
Ming Dynasty warships.
It is as if this side of the Persian Gulf is not far away from the Ming Dynasty, but is in the inland sea of the Ming Empire.
There is no way, the Ming Navy just has too many ships!
Not to mention the advancement of steelmaking technology, as well as Liu Weichao's guidance and easy access to large-scale steel minerals, it can be said that the cost of Ming warships was far lower than Europeans like Kuiyi imagined.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was a prosperous country and a strong people. As long as Emperor Chongzhen established a national strategy to support the navy, the ships of the Ming Dynasty could be launched into the water like dumplings!
The navy attacking the Persian Gulf this time was not only Zheng Zhibao's navy, but also Yang Zhan's navy and Zeng Ying's navy. Among them, the warships of Zeng Ying's navy were the most advanced.
The steam armored warship that shocked Kui was a real armored warship, built by Tianjin Shipyard.
However, Zeng Ying knew that within a few years, steam-armored battleships like his would be outdated again. Of course, this was not a comparison with European countries, but a comparison with Ming Dynasty itself.
When he set off from the Tianjin Shipyard, he had already heard that under the emperor's order, they had begun to re-develop a new type of warship with an internal combustion engine instead of a steam engine.
It seems that the Heavenly Court knew about Emperor Taizu's appearance to help the Ming Dynasty, and instead of blaming him, they gave him support.
In addition, Navy Commander Zheng Zhilong is already forming the American Navy, and will take the Indians brought by Zheng Zhibao from South America to fight back. It is estimated that he will set off by now!
Zeng Ying stood on what Kui Yi thought was a giant warship, leading a steam-armored warship to chase down the Western warships that fled into the Persian Gulf, while thinking about these things.
For him, the gap between warships and artillery made it meaningless for him to direct specific tactics, so he could just pursue them.
After confirming that no Western warships had escaped to the open sea, Zeng Ying turned to look at Bandar Abbas Port.
At this time, the land army had completely occupied Bandar Abbas Port, and the cavalry army was marching into the distance. According to Li Zhongcheng's deployment, they were to attack the capital of the Persian Empire as quickly as possible.
In order to achieve this goal, the enemy must be killed face to face without leaving any prisoners.
In this regard, the army generals at the military meeting, such as Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi and others, could not understand.
Because even if prisoners are retained, the cavalry will not be delayed for long. After all, the infantry will follow up in time. You know, this is free labor. It would be a pity not to take prisoners!
However, Zeng Ying had just come from China, and after contacting domestic news, he knew to some extent why Li Zhongcheng would issue such an order.
Because when he was at home, he had heard that the imperial court was planning to move some people to Persia, and there was even talk of getting a wife! In addition, as long as you have the blood of the Ming Dynasty, you can be allowed to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan if you meet certain conditions.
Return to your native land.
People outside may not know that the imperial court is already working on identification certificates. In the future, there will be differences between the Ming Dynasty, the Ming vassal states and the Ming overseas territories.
The ones with the best treatment are of course those in the local area. Next are the overseas provinces, which can also enjoy most of the benefits of the Ming Dynasty. As for the vassal states, that is a matter for the vassal state and has nothing to do with the suzerain state.
From the summary of these information, Zeng Ying knew that Persian men must not keep too many people, otherwise, how would they get a wife?
The imperial court paid more attention to Persia than to other directly controlled overseas territories such as Dhaka. As for why this was the case, Zeng Ying couldn't figure it out.
He didn't know that Li Yan, as the most senior official of the Ming Dynasty in the Middle East, naturally knew.
Even if he can't figure out why these places in the Middle East where birds don't poop, are the things buried underneath so good?
However, this does not prevent him from working hard to plan for the long-term peace and stability of Ming Dynasty to occupy this place and run this place to become a part of Ming Dynasty.
Soon, he received a report from his men that among the eliminated Persian naval alliance, there was also the navy of the opposite Oman Empire.
As a result, a ready excuse was created. Li Yan immediately sent a fleet to land in the Oman Empire to start a war of annihilation.
The force he brought this time was not just to destroy the Persian Empire, but to conquer the entire Middle East and make it the largest province of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the red lady who came with him, she was making preparations to liberate Persian women and integrate them into Ming culture.
Li Yan's temporary governor's office was located in Bandar Abbas Port. He did not worry about military matters. The various generals would naturally complete their tasks. He was mainly busy with the coordination of logistics supplies and plans to rebuild in Persia.
Affairs at all levels of government offices in the Ming Dynasty.
Local officials, teachers, etc. sent from the country required him, the highest military and political officer, to sign orders.
A few days later, the navy was the first to report back. It was said that after the Dutch and other Western barbarians fled into the Persian Gulf, most of them abandoned their ships and fled ashore to escape, and they did not catch up.
Some of them tried to escape upstream and into the interior, but they were overtaken by Ming steam warships and killed without taking any prisoners.
Li Yan didn't take this seriously and began to prepare military strength. He went upstream from the Persian Gulf, spread more flowers, and swept across the entire Middle East at the fastest speed.
I have to say that there were a lot of things to do and he was very busy.
However, there is no pressure at all.
……………………
Contrary to Li Yan, Emperor Abbas II of the Persian Empire led his army to the east for a decisive battle with the Ming army.
Although he has more troops than the Ming army and already has rifled flintlock guns that are similar to the Ming Dynasty's firearms, he still has a lot of pressure.
His most trusted prime minister, according to original history, died of illness within one or two years. At this time, his health was no longer good.
Generally speaking, the best arrangement is for Abbas II to lead the expedition himself, so that his prime minister can stay in the capital and recover from his illness.
However, the war with the Ming Empire would determine the fate of the Persian Empire. His prime minister was worried that he was young and impatient, so he followed him.
No, when he saw Abbas II's worried look, he encouraged him and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is a war in Persia. We are familiar with the terrain. As long as we are patient and choose the right time, we can annihilate the invading forces."
The Ming army is not difficult!"
As he said that, he gave a bunch of reasons, which finally made Abbas II feel a little more confident, which made his prime minister also breathe a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, even the emperor would be worried, and the morale of the army would be too low, and the battle might be defeated before the battle is even fought.
After the army arrived, Abbas II adopted a strategy of avoiding fighting. He told his ministers: "The Ming army's firearms are powerful. If we wait until it rains to attack, the Ming army's firearms will not be able to exert much power. We
With several times their number, victory belongs to Persia!"
