This time the Persians moved very quickly, the Safavid Army's military department had long been greedy for these weapons, they strongly advocated that they should plan and get these weapons in their hands first, and then they would say that they could pass the test without worrying, and they also strongly supported it, as for the other opposing voices, they were almost drowned, as for how likely it was to recapture the sold land in the future, they did not expect it at all, this was a huge conspiracy.

When the Persian envoy came to see Zhu Changrun again, he not only happily agreed to Zhu Changrun's request, not only announced the recognition of the status of the Fengyang Kingdom and sold all the land requested by Zhu Changrun to him, but also sold all the places in Bushehr Province to Zhu Changrun, they got a huge amount of weapons, and almost all the weapons on the dock were bought, which was enough to equip 100,000 troops.

Zhu Changrun looked at the contract in his hand, and he couldn't help it with joy in his heart, but he still muttered in his mouth, saying that he bought such a large piece of land, and these weapons were bought on credit from Daming, and he didn't know how much interest he had to pay, and how many years it would take to pay off this debt.

Listening to Zhu Changrun's non-stop muttering, the Persian envoy's heart was even more comfortable, looking at Zhu Changrun's eyes a little pitiful, and secretly thought, you really can't pay off these debts, and soon we will take back the land you bought, and after the Ottoman Empire finishes beating you, we can also continue to help you restore the banner of the country, snatch these lands back, maybe you will be grateful to send some weapons. Thinking of this, the Persian envoy could not help but rejoice in his lofty goal, and even felt that he was too clever.

Things were far from being as simple as the Persian envoys thought, and the Ottoman offensive did not stop with the fall of Baghdad, but continued to advance towards the valley of the two rivers. In the past, a lot of weapons of the Fengyang Kingdom were purchased, and the Safavid Dynasty quickly organized a large army again, equipped with the weapons just purchased, and finally could counterattack, and the two sides fought fiercely again in the two river valleys, until they were exhausted, and then stopped, as for the attempt to start a war against the Fengyang Kingdom, they had to wait until they had the capital.

Zhu Changrun emptied the weapons at the warehouse and dock and sent them all to the Safavid Dynasty, and then quickly filled all the local products and oil and other materials, and quickly filled the long-awaited oil tankers and cargo ships, and hurriedly transported them to the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Youxiao saw the letter sent back by Zhu Changrun again, he couldn't help but sigh, greed is not enough to suffer a big loss, the Safavid Dynasty is too greedy this time, but Zhu Changrun is also a little greedy, the current Fengyang Kingdom has nearly 100,000 square kilometers of land, in terms of the current military strength, it is a little too little, join the real Ottoman Empire and the Safavid Dynasty to negotiate to stop the war, Zhu Changrun will face great pressure, and he has to recruit troops, and he also needs generals to enrich his army.

Zhu Youxiao recruited 10,000 veterans again, and also recruited more than 50 cadets from the military academy to join the team, and transported this team to the Fengyang Kingdom as quickly as possible, so that the Ming army veterans of the Fengyang Kingdom have nearly 60,000 people, plus the soldiers recruited by Zhu Changrun locally, about nearly 70,000 people, but the total population there is less than 500,000, and the population of the Ming Dynasty is less than 150,000, which is a bit small, but there is no way to immigrate again, the natural conditions there are not good, and the population is more. Coupled with the factor of natural population growth, there will be population pressure in the future, and the only way to improve the combat strength of the army is to do so.

The academy of the Daming Military Academy is pinned on high hopes, and more than 50 cadets should be able to support the number of middle-level officers in the army of 60,000, and the rest are veterans, and there is no shortage of grassroots officers. In order to better stand on this land, Zhu Youxiao put forward two suggestions to Zhu Changrun, the first is to increase the mobility of the troops, what can be done at present is to organize a large number of infantry cavalry, so that the local nomadic tribes can raise a large number of horses and camels, mainly to serve the war, as for the problem of food, with a large amount of oil and the Ming Dynasty as the backing, this is not a problem, just transport it directly into the past. The second is to station troops in Abadan, so that they can quickly assemble to various battlefields in the territory in the future, using convenient sea and war horses.

In this desert and hilly area, only the Bedouins are the best nomadic tribes. In the previous stage, Zhu Changrun dealt a fatal blow to their robbery, which made them feel palpitated. Receiving Zhu Youxiao's suggestion, Zhu Changrun once again divided and disintegrated them, expelled some disloyal tribes, and gave preferential treatment to those tribes who were friendly to the Fengyang Kingdom. The horses and camels of the Bedouin nomadic tribe will be purchased by Zhu Changrun at a high price and unlimited quantities, but they also have to ensure the quality, which is a small matter for them, they are the best herders in this land. Zhu Changrun is responsible for their daily necessities, and everything can enjoy preferential prices, so that their living conditions are better than those of ordinary residents, but they can't be compared with the local immigrants of the Ming Dynasty, these people are the foundation of Zhu Changrun's rule, so they can have a sense of superiority over ordinary people.

The location of the army's defense is also very important, in the military fort of Bushehr province is dominated by Arabs and a few other soldiers, the local garrison west of Basra is mainly of Persian and Mongol descendants who have been displaced here, and the local soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are more than 10,000 people except for the Susa military camp, and the rest are arranged in the Abadan military base, so that they have the strongest mobility and can enter the battlefield anywhere in the territory at any time at the fastest speed. This means that the defense is based on local soldiers and castles, and the soldiers recruited from the Ming Dynasty are mainly mobile, with the purpose of attacking, attacking, and attacking again until the enemy is completely defeated or annihilated.

The war between the Ottoman Empire and the Safavid Dynasty entered a phase of confrontation, neither side was able to continue the attack, the fighting ceased temporarily, the position of the Khalid family was consolidated, and the original governor was granted more land because of his credit to the empire, and no one knew about the sale of land for the time being. The situation on the side of the Safavid Dynasty is completely different, they are a little greedy, they have suffered a little loss in the sale of land for weapons, and now they have no capital to start a war if they want to regret it, so the messenger who is directly involved was sent to a prison cell, and the relationship with the Fengyang Kingdom began to be tense.

Zhu Changrun is not afraid of the Safavid Dynasty at all, with the strong support of Zhu Youxiao, his weapons and equipment here are basically the same as those of the Ming Dynasty, the armed veterans have rich combat experience, and compared with the local army of the Ming Dynasty, they are also elite troops, tens of thousands of war horses can send them to the most important battlefield in a short time, and the new steam engine-powered warships of the Fengyang Kingdom are stationed on both sides of the Persian Gulf, although they are not ironclad warships, but there are still no warships to fight against in this place.

After a few months of construction, the original civil structure wharf has been rebuilt, and the reinforced concrete structure is completely used, and the fortifications to defend the wharf are also made of reinforced concrete.

In order to ensure that Haiseb would not be completely blocked and that food and materials could not be transported from the outside, Zhu Changrun also armed the hills on both sides of the port and established artillery positions, so that in the event of a war, with the height advantage of the hills, the artillery could control the water surface distance of more than ten miles, and plank roads were also built from the wharf to the hilltop position to prevent the hills from being besieged.

Zhu Changrun, Mao Bijiang, Chen Zhenhui They calculated very thoughtfully, the Safavid Dynasty did not have the ability to attack near the Fengyang Kingdom, but it may cause chaos in the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, which is a place with a more complicated environment, the narrowest part of this strait is only more than seventy li, and there are many islands in the middle, and the power of the Ariba Dynasty navy is not enough to rule here absolutely. Therefore, Zhu Changrun built Haiseb very stable, and ten warships were stationed here, three of which could be dispatched to patrol the Strait of Hormuz at any time, and the other few were acting as reserves.

It should be said that the warships of the Safavid Dynasty are not bad, but compared to the steam engine-powered warships of the Fengyang Kingdom, they are also self-aware, before the Safavid Dynasty and the Fengyang Kingdom officially started a war, they did not dare to intercept the transport fleet on a large scale, especially the oil tankers, which were all equipped with hand-cranked machine guns, after suffering a loss, they just set up some obstacles in the harassing type to create a little trouble for the ships coming and going, so Zhu Changrun did not make a big move, If they make a large-scale sortie, Zhu Changrun will dare to directly clean up the northern shore of the Persian Gulf, and paralyze all the ports that can enter the ship after the artillery is discharged.
