With Zhu Changrun's report, Zhu Youxiao naturally glanced at Zhu Changrun, and told him part of his plan. The line of the Khalid family cannot be broken, and it must be strengthened, so that the son of Chief Khalid can come to Daming to stay for a while, whether it is to study abroad, or to have a long insight, in short, let him open his eyes to Daming, understand some of Daming's business concepts, and hand him over to Niu Jinxing to exercise for a while, it is estimated that even a fool will become shrewd.

When Zhu Changrun told the news to Chief Khalid, he was afraid that he would think that he was making his son a hostage, and wanted to explain it to him, but he didn't expect Chief Khalid to be so excited that he was about to shed tears, he said: "I have always begged others to teach, but I didn't expect His Majesty the Ming Emperor thousands of miles away to be so enlightened, not only set up a public school to educate children, but even I, who is not a friend, remember, please tell His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty that my Khalid family will always be a friend of Your Majesty, If you betray the friendship of the Ming Dynasty, you will not be favored by God. ”

When Zhu Changrun told him that Little Khalid's teacher would be at the helm of the Ming Royal Trading Company, this time Chief Khalid really cried, which means that the powerful Ming Empire has become the commercial backing of their family, and the variety and quality of Daming goods will become the biggest guarantee for the rise of the Khalid family.

Barak Khalid is the eldest son of Sheikh Khalid, who founded a tribe in Kuwait in history, but unfortunately after his death, the family disputes continued, and finally lost the dominance of the territory, which became the future Kuwaiti royal family. And the current chief Khalid is just a side of the family, after he separated from the family, he came here, wanted to find a small oasis here, but was driven away by Wang Zheng, but because of a blessing in disguise, he cleverly got in touch with the Fengyang Kingdom, and got new opportunities through the sale of weapons.

The continuation of a family not only requires the emergence of intelligent and strong elite talents, but more importantly, there is a good successor training system, and then the family's ideological character and way of thinking are very important. Beginning with the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was succeeded by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi after his death, which lasted for more than 300 years, and the Wei State of the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty that replaced the Wei State had a short lifespan. The Khalid family saw that the Ming Empire had lasted for more than 200 years and was still extremely powerful, and he saw the future prospects of the Khalid family in this land.

The governor supported by the Khalid family finally sent troops, and the musketeer corps of more than 10,000 people showed a strong attack ability, and hundreds of small two kicking cannons directly covered a wall of Baghdad City, and there were no soldiers standing on the city wall, and the musketeers also stood in the preset design position under the city wall and kept shooting, so that the Persian soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the bombardment were covered again, and they were shot and fell to the ground.

The long siege had already put the walls of Baghdad in jeopardy, and the bombardment was even worse, becoming the last straw that crushed the Persian soldiers, and soon the Ottoman soldiers had completed the breakthrough, and many soldiers had already climbed the walls. The Persian soldiers on the city wall had no way to resist the enemy who had surpassed them a lot in number, so they had to retreat to the city, trying to use the oil sea tactics again, but unfortunately this time they miscalculated, the small two kicking cannons are easy to carry, many soldiers carrying small two kicking cannons have rushed to the city wall, and the small two kicking cannons have been added to the city wall, and they have been discovered before the Persian army's return cannon is fired a few times, and they are soon hit by the small cannons that are very convenient to use, The oil bombs that had not had time to be fired ignited on their own positions, and the raging flames burned the entire position.

The Persian soldiers, who had lost the means of counterattack, waited for the passive beating, and the number of casualties doubled. On the other hand, more and more Ottoman soldiers entered the city, and the Persian soldiers who had the advantage of the city wall now lost their geographical advantage all of a sudden, and the number was still small, and the rout became inevitable, and the result was that Baghdad was lost, and the Persian army could only retreat step by step.

After receiving the war report of the fall of Baghdad, the ministers of the Safavid Dynasty finally could not sit still, if the two river valleys were lost next, it would cause a national shock, and the position of Safi, who had just sat on the throne, would be in jeopardy. As a last resort, Safi had no choice but to let the envoy go to the Fengyang Kingdom again to buy weapons, as for the issue of selling the land, see if it can be limited to the vicinity of Abadan, and the status of the Fengyang Kingdom can also be recognized, but the number of weapons that need to be purchased is extremely large, even if it is a means to sit on the ground and repay the money at a sky-high price.

When the Persian envoy came to Basra again, he found that Zhu Changrun could not be found, and he had been closed for three consecutive days, and the people in the palace said that His Majesty had gone out to visit, and he didn't know when he would come back, and hoped that he could wait for a few more days, or wait for the prince to come back and ask him to come and talk.

Now there is no time to talk nonsense, the war in the two river basins has burned. The Persian army was retreating. But he didn't dare to be angry! In desperation, the envoy had no choice but to find Chen Zhenhui, he was the chief official of this city, so he couldn't go out too, and the Persian envoy went to find Chen Zhenhui like a chance.

Luck was really good, the Persian envoy really saw Chen Zhenhui, so he told Chen Zhenhui about his conditions, hoping to see Zhu Changrun as soon as possible. Chen Zhenhui did not express any attitude about the purchase of land and the sale of weapons, but only said that as soon as possible, he should ask His Majesty the King to return to Basra and let him talk about these matters himself, and he was not responsible for these matters.

The Persian envoy waited in front of Zhu Changrun's palace for two more days, and finally met Zhu Changrun, and when he finished explaining the conditions, Zhu Changrun was happy and said to him: "Your Excellency, the plan we originally talked about to buy land was before the fall of Baghdad, think about it, what if I sell these weapons to the losing side, and when the Ottoman Empire wins and has a dispute with me?" You didn't sell me this land before, but now it's a little late. If I had sold the weapons to the Ottomans, and when they had acquired the land, I would have taken it again, and there would have been no such problem. So now that this place has depreciated, if you are defeated in the future, and the Ottoman Empire sends troops to this place, I will have to go to war with them, how much will it cost, if I want to exchange land for weapons, then I would rather take half of the province of Bushehr on the shore of the Persian Gulf, close to here. ”

The Persian envoy didn't expect Zhu Changrun to open his bloody mouth and bite hard, this is simply naked blackmail, yes, this is blackmail, but if you don't agree with Zhu Changrun's words, don't accept blackmail, what other way can you solve the weapon problem? Is there a better way to do it? Returning to his temporary quarters, the messenger wrote a report to His Majesty Safi while pondering a solution to the problem, and now he was about to lose his hair.

Just when the Persian envoy was worried, his assistant came in, walked up to him with a mysterious look, and looked around to see if there was anyone else, and then whispered to him: "My lord, when you went to the mansion of the Fengyang Kingdom just now, you were wandering around the streets, but unexpectedly, you heard a different news. It was the people of the Ottoman Empire who were very dissatisfied with the sale of the land to the Fengyang Kingdom, and complained in the teahouse. There is a person from the Khalid family, he said that his master sold a large area of land to the Fengyang Kingdom without permission, but Murad IV was very dissatisfied, and he wanted to punish him, he said that he could change the weapons first, wait until Baghdad was defeated, and then go back to clean up the Fengyang Kingdom, let them get a chicken and fly eggs, and nothing will fall. ”

"My lord, does it mean that the occupation of Baghdad by the Ottoman army is the end of the war? In that case, we don't have to exchange land for weapons with the Fengyang Kingdom, and the adults don't have to bear the reputation of being traitors, you see that we can just go back. His assistant gave him information and helped him with ideas.

When the Persian envoy heard the information of his assistant, he felt that this matter was completely unexpected, if this information was true, then not only would he have to exchange the land for weapons, but also for more weapons, because in this way, it would be possible to train more troops, and he would be more sure of recapturing these places in the future, that is to say, these weapons were picked up for nothing, and the Fengyang Kingdom was finally empty and happy. However, if there is fraud in it, his future will be completely ruined, and it will be difficult to atone for his sins, and the losses caused to the Safavid Dynasty will be irreparable, and he will be condemned to the shame of history.

This matter is too big, he definitely doesn't dare to call the shots, it is better to report the information to King Safi and let the courtiers take the idea, at most it is better to bear the black pot by himself than to take all the responsibility himself.
