925 This wave of operations must be liked

When it comes to dealing with other natives, they are not afraid of too many disparities in strength. However, the firearms of the Ming army are still elite, they have all seen them, and they know that they are similar to them. At this time, even if they wanted to earn Persian benefits, they did not dare to joke with their lives.

Not to mention, the Ming Emperor is legendary and invincible.

Seeing that both of them were silent, Abbas II suddenly said, "If I move the capital to Kambrunn, will you be able to keep me safe?" ”

Kambrunn, in later generations was the capital of the province of Hormuzgan. Located on the north shore of the Gulf of Hormuz, it chokes the exit of the Persian Gulf and is an important port on this side of the Persian Gulf. However, at this time, it was still a fishing village, built by Abbas I.

Because of the butterfly effect, the Dutch and British fleets docked on the Gombrun side, so it gradually prospered over the years, and was no longer just a fishing village.

As soon as Abbas II said this, he immediately stunned the civil and military officials below. They didn't expect that their emperor was actually thinking about moving the capital.

However, they think about the current situation in the country, they have just suppressed the rebellion and slaughtered an unknown number of people. Coupled with the fact that so many elite troops died at the hands of the Ming army in the first two times, this time the Ming army killed them, and they couldn't resist it at all.

Thinking about this, they were relieved.

In fact, the Safavid dynasty was first established in Tabriz, but by 1548, it had not been able to defeat the Ottoman Empire, and Tabriz was more vulnerable to Ottoman attacks, so it moved its capital to the safer Qazvin. Later, it was still not good, and was threatened by other rebel tribes and the Ottomans, and then moved the capital to what is now Isfahan.

Isfahan is located in the valley of the Zagros and Kukhru Mountains, on the banks of the Zaindai River, in the central region of the Persian Empire, so the capital was not moved again.

However, now that they have encountered a large-scale attack by the Ming army, they will definitely fight from the east, and it is no longer safe here, and it seems that it is also a common practice to move the capital again.

And the British and Dutch envoys did not expect Abbas II to say this, and they were stunned for a moment. It was only after Abbas II anxiously asked them again that they came to their senses, and were immediately overjoyed, and immediately took a stand.

"Wise Your Majesty, what a great idea!"

"Yes, the capital has been moved to Gombullon, and our combined fleet will definitely guarantee your safety."

"We have just increased the number of our fleet, and we are invincible at sea to ensure that we will not be attacked by the Ming fleet. And on land, if the Ming army dares to attack, we can also send more troops to help Your Majesty resist. ”

"That's right, the cannons on our battleships can also be sent to the shore to help Your Majesty resist the Ming army, that's absolutely no problem!"

“……”

For the Netherlands and England, the idea of Abbas II was too popular with them!

Because the original Isfahan and the Persian Gulf side were blocked by the Zagros Mountains along the coastline, they could not reach Isfahan nearby. It can only be reached by walking a thousand miles along the path of the Zagros Mountains, which is very inconvenient.

But now, if the Persian capital could be moved to Gomburun by the sea, it would fall under their control. As long as the Ming army is defeated, then the Persian side will be completely reduced to their colony!

Therefore, it is strange that they are not happy, and they immediately try their best to persuade them.

Abbas II actually knew this. However, the lesser of the two rights. Compared with the Dutch and the British, the Ming army frightened him even more, it was going to destroy him, and he couldn't resist it, so he couldn't help it.

Moving the capital to Gombullun has another advantage, that is, it is easy to lead the water to the west, so that the Ming army will attack the Ottoman Empire first. He had time to regain his strength, recapture the Persian Empire, and follow the path of the Ming army.

Because from Isfahan to Kambrun, it is a road along the direction of the Zagros Mountains, and on the other side, it is also a mountain range, and it is not easy for the Ming army to come, and the best way is to go southeast along the Zagros Mountains.

In this way, the Ming army had to go forward more often, not to mention that it would be farther away from the Ottoman Empire and other prosperous cities in Persia. If he were the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he would never chase him first.

Isn't it fragrant to eat fatty meat, why do you have to come and gnaw on his hard bones!

Of course, if you move to the sea, you are more vulnerable to attacks from the sea. However, judging from the information learned so far, the Ming Emperor invaded on the Kandahar side, brought a cavalry army, and took the land route. Therefore, it is relatively safer on the sea side.

Besides, with the Dutch and British fleets there, the Ming fleet did not dare to fight before. Now that there are about twice as many new ships, it will be safer.

He was thinking about it when he heard the British envoy suddenly say: "Your Majesty, even if the Ming army hits Kambrunn, even if their troops are really very large, regardless of casualties, they want to harm Your Majesty, in case, I mean, if you can't resist it, Your Majesty can withdraw to our warship, and it will be absolutely safe!" ”

"Yes, yes, this is a very safe back road, although it is impossible to use, but it is also a guarantee that it is not!" When the Dutch envoy heard this, he immediately expressed his position.

At the same time, he also thought in his heart that he would definitely go back and tell the commander of the fleet, Antony, that it was better to arrange a battleship to overpower the British, and to satisfy Abbas II, so that the Persian emperor would fall into the hands of the Netherlands, and there would be no need to bargain with the British, how good!

When Abbas II heard this, he immediately felt safer in his heart, nodded immediately, said no more, and immediately announced that he was ready to move the capital. Once the Ming army really had to invade, he officially moved the capital.

In the subsequent dynasties of the Persian Empire, there were emperors who were beaten and could not stay, and some fled to other countries. If Abbas II was in a hurry, although he did not want to go to another country, it was better than losing his life, and of course he would have fled.

………………

Their deliberation was passed on to Emperor Chongzhen through the Grade A eavesdropping seed on Abbas II, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Because Emperor Chongzhen's previous decision was to attack by sea and land. This way at sea is still the focus of the offensive. Not only did they mobilize all the warships that could be mobilized in the surrounding area, but they also transported the army forces by sea. Including a large amount of grain and grass required in the future, it is also by sea.

However, the Persian Empire is more special, along the coastline of the Persian Gulf, there is a Zagros mountain range, in this series of mountains, many high mountains, which are covered with snow all year round. It would be unrealistic to land from the nearest seashore and attack Isfahan, the capital of the Persian Empire.

Therefore, in the original plan, Emperor Chongzhen had the navy land at Kambulun and then kill Isfahan along the eastern valley of the Zagros Mountains.

Now, Abbas II's divine operation can save trouble and effort for the Ming army, and the battlefield has been changed to the seaside.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but say to himself: "You are really an interesting person, you are so worried about the Ming Dynasty, I am embarrassed to destroy you, do you want to let you go again?" ”

But after all, this is just a thought, defeat Persia, destroy the Safavids, Abbas II is useless. If you don't destroy him, what are you wasting rations for?

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty wanted to set up a direct territory in Persia, and it was just right to use the head of Abbas II to collect the hearts of the people. Therefore, Abbas II is dead this time.

As for the so-called British and Dutch fleets, that's a joke. They have increased the fleet, isn't there one on the Ming side? The number of coming back is so big that it scares you to death. What's more, there are also steam ironclad battleships, as well as improved battleships, and so on.

Hehe, this wave of operations of Abbas II must be praised. If you don't do it according to his ideas, it's too uninteresting!

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen immediately issued a decree and sent a messenger to the Ming fleet in Bombay, telling them the situation and asking them to block the Dutch and British fleets in the Strait of Hormuz and not let them escape.

And himself, as Abbas II thought, continued to march by land with great fanfare. After arriving in Kandahar, he joined Wu Sangui's troops and began to attack the Persian Empire. It does not require the cavalry to rush forward, but to fight steadily.

Every time we lay down a place, it is inevitable to uproot the old vested interests, put up a list to reassure the people, set up officials, stabilize the people's livelihood, and then continue to move westward.

After crossing the border, they also divided their troops out, except for the areas in the north where the climate was still very cold, and it was almost in a horizontal line to advance westward.

The eastern part of the Persian Empire was originally ravaged by Li Dingguo's subordinates once, and later by Abbas II. This time, Emperor Chongzhen personally led the army over, and it almost didn't take much effort to occupy the eastern part of the Persian Empire, which was almost in ruins.

In this way, the Ming army that pushed sideways was even more powerful. Anyone who has seen it knows that the Ming army will not stop if the Persian Empire is not destroyed this time.

As a result, those nobles and heroes on the way to the Ming army, in the face of the powerful Ming army's offensive, many people chose to flee. At least they can take as much wealth as they can with them by escaping at this time. Otherwise, when the Ming army comes, not only will the wealth be gone, but also the life will be gone, which is the most tragic thing!

In this way, the Persian nobles and Haoqiang who fled west not only brought the news of the Ming army to the west, but also were passed on by them, and the Ming army had tens of thousands of horses out of thin air, and the momentum was even greater.

Hearing this, Abbas II did not hesitate and immediately ordered the capital to be moved.

Now all the civil and military officials under him are subservient to him, or forced to submit to his obscenity. Among them, those generals who held military power were those who escaped from the mouth of the Ming army with him, and they could better understand the power of the Ming army.

Therefore, basically no one resisted his will to move the capital. In this way, the third capital move in the history of the Safavid Dynasty, which did not exist, began.
