Chapter 562: Peace (1)

The 170,000-strong army of the Persian Empire was almost completely wiped out, and the commander Kegrad vomited blood and fell into a coma and disappeared.

The next day, on March 27, Dolgon led 80,000 iron cavalry, more than 1,300 dragon breaker muskets, and 27 cannons to attack the city of Sevas, another important town in the northeast of the Persian Empire.

"Boom boom" shells continued to explode on the top of the city.

Having just received the news of the defeat of the Empire's 170,000-strong army at Murkala and the annihilation of the entire army, the Persian defenders of Sevas City were panicked and fearful, and had little fighting spirit and resistance at all.

"Kill!"

"Boom" the iron knight knocked on the earth.

An hour later, the city of Sevas fell as a troop of Eight Banners of Iron Cavalry took the lead in the city.

The fall of Sevas, coupled with the fall of the original city of Murkara, the two major towns of the Persian Empire in the northeast territory all fell into the hands of Dolgon, and the northeast of the Persian Empire was more than 200 miles, except for some small cities, which could no longer stop Dolgon's iron cavalry.

"Send someone to send a message to the Persian Emperor to negotiate peace!" Instead of attacking other small cities, Dorgon sent people directly to negotiate peace with the Persian emperor.

"Wow!" Although some of the generals of the Eight Banners wondered why they did not continue to attack the imperial capital of the Persian Empire, Dolgon's current prestige did not make them question it in this situation.

Murkala was defeated, the 170,000-strong army was wiped out, and then Sevas also fell, shaking the people of the Persian Empire.

A fear of imminent doom pervaded the entire Persian Empire, filled the mosques, and countless believers asked Allah to exorcise the devil and bless the Persian Empire.

"The 170,000 army, the 170,000 army of the empire was defeated like this, and the whole army was wiped out!" The emperor of the Persian Empire almost collapsed in his chair.

"Report" A guard of the main hall suddenly ran in.

The Persian Emperor, his ministers, and the clergy witnessed the guard's panicked look, and before the guard could tell the information, the hearts of the Persian Emperor and everyone were involuntarily suspended.

"Is it that the enemy army is coming to the imperial capital?" The Persian Emperor's voice trembled and panicked.

The other ministers and clergy were also extremely nervous, staring at the guard.

"The King of Kings, the front line has just sent information, and the enemy has sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the empire, and he will enter the imperial capital immediately!" The guard said as he knelt on one knee.

Peace? Hearing the last two words, the Persian Emperor and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

The 170,000 troops defeated in the city of Murkala were already the last elite of the Empire, especially from the soldiers who returned from the defeat, they learned that the enemy army had 27 powerful guns and a rate of fire that were more powerful than the siege weapon Franc cannons that the Empire bought from the Franc Man. And it is a cannon that can be easily transported to the head of the city, if the enemy iron cavalry kills the imperial capital with those powerful cannons, the imperial capital cannot be stopped at all, and now the enemy army did not kill the imperial capital, but sent people to negotiate peace, how can this not make the Persian emperor and everyone present happy.

"Quick, quickly bring the people who have been sent by the enemy army to negotiate peace to the Great Hall!" The Emperor of the Persian Empire said eagerly.

He was desperate to secure a peace treaty to reassure himself and prove that his empire was not going to die.

Although the last time the peace was negotiated, the Manchurians tore up the peace treaty in less than a day, but the last time it was the empire that sent people to negotiate peace, and this time it was the enemy army who took the initiative to send people to negotiate peace, which is different in nature, and it can make people believe that the enemy army will abide by the peace treaty.

At this moment, even the old minister of the Persian Empire remained silent and speechless.

Half an hour later, Lungu, an emissary sent by Dolgon, and a Bukhara who knew Persian and Manchu languages arrived at the Persian Imperial Council.

He occupied the three khanates for more than two years, during which time Dolgon forced some of the three khanates to learn the Manchu language.

From the moment he entered the main hall of the Persian Empire, Lungu looked extremely arrogant, his nostrils were almost facing the sky, and he seemed rude and arrogant, obviously not taking the Persian Emperor and the courtiers and clergy of the Persian Empire present in his eyes.

However, neither the Persian emperor nor the Persians present dared to show any anger, but were afraid that one would accidentally provoke Lungu.

After some opening remarks, Lungu first stated what Dorgon wanted him to offer.

First, Dorgon demanded all the Persian lands within a radius of 250 li from the city of Murkara, including the city of Sevas.

Second, the Persian Empire paid them 10 million silver coins for their military expenses.

These two conditions were agreed to before other details could be continued.

As soon as the two conditions came out, the Persian emperor and everyone present were shocked.

For a radius of 250 miles such as the city of Murkara, 10 million silver coins are required, which is even more unbearable than cutting meat.

You must know that over the years, the empire has lost half of its territory one after another because of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, although the current territory is not counted, but the land within a radius of 200 miles including Sevas in the northeast of Murkara City is equivalent to almost a quarter of the empire's territory, not to mention, it also costs 10 million silver coins! The empire doesn't have that much revenue in a year.

"Messenger, can't you be accommodating? My Persian Empire really can't get these things. The Persian Emperor said with a pale face.

The Burha'a translated the words of the Persian Emperor to Lungu.

Lun Gu immediately frowned, and said with a sinister look in his eyes: "Our regent Khan said, the two primary conditions, the Persian Empire must agree to it, and if it does not agree, it must also be agreed, otherwise our regent Khan will personally lead 100,000 iron cavalry to attack Isfahan City!" ”

The city of Isfahan is the current imperial capital of the Persian Empire, located in the central region of the Persian Empire, about 400 miles away from the city of Murkara occupied by Dolgon.

The Bukharans immediately translated Lungu's words.

The emperor of the Persian Empire was so frightened that his face turned white, and the other Persians present also turned blue and white one by one, and they dared not speak out in anger.

There is no way, the Persian Empire is now exhausted, even if all the soldiers who defend the cities in the country are withdrawn, it will not be able to draw 100,000 people, and the 170,000 elite army has been defeated, even if the empire fights hard to make an army of 100,000 people, it will be useless.

Moreover, Sevas has also been captured, blocking between the imperial capital and Murkala, only the last important town of Yazd remains, once the enemy iron cavalry with artillery to attack with all its strength, it may not take five days, the enemy iron cavalry will be able to force the imperial capital of Isfahan, and it will be too late to say anything.

The Persian emperor was frightened and was about to agree, but the old Persian minister stood up in time at this time and said to Lungu: "Messenger, this matter is very important, can I allow the Persian Empire to discuss for three days?" ”

The other ministers and clergy present were all in good spirits, yes, no matter how much they could not agree to this kind of thing, they could delay it for a day.

In the end, he still has to give the old minister a little face, and the emperor of the Persian Empire also endured the words that came to his mouth, to be honest, he didn't want to agree immediately, it seemed that he was too undignified.

"Okay, I'll give you half a day, and after half a day, whether your Persian Empire agrees or not, I will go back and report to our regent Khan!" Lun Gu also knew that things couldn't be pushed too hard, so he immediately drove half a day.

Semidiurnal? The time was too short, and the old minister of the Persian Empire wanted to open his mouth to buy more time, but he had just spoken, and Lun Gu didn't bother to listen to the envoy's translation, so he interrupted as soon as he raised his hand, insisting on half a day at most.

The Persian emperor and the Persians present had no choice but to let people send Lungu to rest first, and they would continue to discuss in the main hall.
