For the Crimean Khanate's "not listening to greetings", Ottoman Turkey was actually very annoyed. The ruthless and belligerent Sultan Selim I almost wanted to send troops to teach this disobedient former brother a lesson. However, Turkey is currently planning to annex the vast and rich Persia, so it has no time to pay attention to the "disobedience" of the Crimean Khanate.

Moreover, the Crimean Khanate is a chicken thief, and people do not completely disobey the greetings, but sometimes send troops over to cooperate, so that Turkey can't find an excuse if it wants to make trouble.

Besides, the current Turkey, which is not the Turkey of Suleiman the Magnificent, does not have the ability to fight on multiple fronts, nor does it have the ability to fight Europe. The key point is that Turkey has not yet been able to annex the rich Egypt!

It was only after the annexation of Egypt, which was agricultural, and the acquisition of Syria, which was relatively rich in the Middle East (don't laugh, Syria in ancient times was really a prosperous region in the Middle East), that the Ottoman Empire became a giant. Moreover, after eliminating the Mamluks of Egypt, the Turkish sultan also took the title of caliph (originally the caliph was a puppet of the Mamluks) and eventually became a giant in the Middle East.

And now, Suleiman the Magnificent's father, Selim I, has not defeated Persia, let alone destroyed the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt. In such a situation, Turkey will naturally not rush to send troops to Crimea. After all, Crimea is not a soft persimmon, and people can now beat the Grand Duchy of Moscow to the point of being a father......

For this reason, Selim I hated Marin, the "culprit" of trade with the Crimean Khanate, and felt that it was Marin's order that caused Turkey to lose an excellent little brother. But to be honest, Marin's annual order of tens of thousands of cattle makes even Selim I a little red-eyed. After all, Turkey is also a country dominated by animal husbandry, but there are too many livestock to sell.

As for Marin, even if he knew that Selim I hated him, he would not care. After all, no matter how powerful Turkey is, it is not capable of hitting northern Germany. As for Mao Mei's trade being blocked by Turkey? Marin never used the name of the North Sea Country to transport those hairy girls. He is walking in the name of other countries, after all, trafficking in human beings is not allowed by the Holy See. Slave ships usually flew the Venetian or Genoese flag to clear themselves. Turkey, on the other hand, had not yet turned against Venice and Genoa, so it was natural that it would not intercept ships flying the flags of these two countries.

Moreover, what Selim I did not know was that Marin was already secretly copying the Turkish Rumi Gun and was planning to sell it to Turkey's rivals, the Mamluks of Egypt. If he knew this, Selim I would probably vomit blood......

In fact, Marin is now thinking about doing Turkey badly. He remembered that Selim I had defeated Persia in 1514 and seized a large area of what would become the eastern frontier. The time was probably August, and the area captured was probably the area inhabited by Kurds in eastern Turkey in later generations. That battle seems to be called the "Battle of Chardiran......

"Shall I help the Safavid Empire of Persia?" Marin thought twice......

Originally, Marin was planning to finance a large number of weapons and armor of the Persian Safavid Empire. However, there doesn't seem to be enough time. Because, if you use a ship to transport weapons and armor to Persia, you need to go around the Cape of Good Hope, which takes too long. And it was already the end of March, but the war broke out in August, and it was definitely too late to support Persia.

However, it is not good to do nothing. After all, it was by defeating the Persian Safavid Empire that the Turkish Sultan Selim I built up a strong self-confidence. Then, two years later, there was the "Battle of the Dabik Steppe", which defeated the main force of the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt in one fell swoop and gave Turkey the opportunity to annex Egypt.

Marin remembered that in the "Battle of Chardiran", the Turks relied on powerful artillery to defeat the most elite cavalry units of the Persian Safavid Empire, so that the elite troops of the Persian Safavid Empire were completely lost, and even lost the capital Tabriz for a time. Had it not been for the fact that Turkey was not strong enough at this time, and feared that the rear would be attacked by the Mamluks of Egypt, the Safavid Empire of Persia might have come to an end.

And in this battle, Ismaili I, the founder of the Persian Safavid Empire, who was originally high-spirited, was completely stunned by the Ottoman artillery, lost many of his cronies, and he himself collapsed.

Before that, Ismaili I was the legendary founding monarch of the Safavid Empire of Persia. He was killed in battle by his father and brothers, and he was hunted down by the Aries dynasty, which ruled Persia at the time. From 1499, with the support of a group of old ministers left by his father and brother, based on 1,500 soldiers, he set off a rebellion with the purpose of overthrowing the Aries Dynasty. And that year, he was only 12 years old......

What's even more amazing is that it took him only three years to defeat the seemingly powerful Aries dynasty and create the Persian Safavid Empire. And that year, he was only 15 years old......

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that his Persian army was stunned by the Turkish artillery and suffered a crushing defeat, Marin would have wondered if he was a traverser. Because, the deeds of this guy who "started a rebellion at the age of 12 and founded the Safavid Dynasty at the age of 15" are simply too bizarre. From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a young founder of a dynasty.

It was the "Battle of Chardiran" that the Persian Safavid Empire lost a large number of generals, and Ismaili I, who was like a hanger, also collapsed and died of depression at the age of 36.

Marin feels that such a legendary figure should not be depressed. After all, if this product is still stunned by the Turkish artillery as it was in history, then the pressure on the eastern side of Turkey will be gone.

Therefore, in order to add to the obstacles of the future Suleiman Magnificent, Marin felt that he had an obligation to remind Ismaili I to be careful of the Turkish artillery.

So, although it might not be too late to take the sea route, Marin planned to send men overland to enter Persia as merchants. Then, remind Ismaili I to be careful of the Turkish artillery and bring with him an early warning of an imminent Turkish invasion in August.

The Beihai Kingdom sent someone to warn Ismaili I in advance, and Marin felt that Ismaili I should not have suffered such a crushing defeat to the Turks as in history......

However, this is not certain. Ismaili I was so young and ambitious that he could easily lose himself and become superstitious about his abilities. Originally, in history, he was too unprepared because he despised his opponent too much, and was beaten by the Turks' artillery, not only losing many generals, but also completely losing his self-confidence.

……

Thinking of this, Marin decisively ordered to send spies through the Crimean Khanate, which was friendly to the North Sea State. Then, in the name of doing business, take the Caucasus route to Tabriz, the capital of Persia, to inform Ismaili I of the imminent Turkish invasion, as well as the power of artillery......

Although it is uncertain whether Ismaili I will listen to him, Marin is also at the mercy of heaven. If Persia had been defeated as it had been in history, he would have nothing to say......
