Before the peace talks began, Kandahar hosted a grand ceremony, in which Zheng Zhilong summoned a bunch of third-rank officials from several nearby provinces, and recruited more than half of the generals of the fourth-rank and above from the three legions stationed in Kandahar, gathered dozens of people, and held a grand ceremony for Su Yiman.

The moment Zheng Zhilong pinned the golden dragon epaulettes to his shoulder, Su Yiman felt as if he had integrated into the Ming Empire.

Of course, this was just an illusion, and immediately afterwards, Zheng Zhilong invited him to have a secret discussion about the distribution of land ceded by the Persian Safavid Empire.

The border from Kandahar to the Ottoman Empire is nearly 5,000 miles, which means that the Safavid Empire of Persia had to cede at least tens of thousands of square kilometers of land to the Eurasian Railway in order to be fully controlled by the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire.

In such a long and narrow area, the Ming Dynasty naturally didn't want to send troops to garrison it entirely on his own side, so Zhu Cijiong's will was to let the Ottoman Empire bear at least half of it!

For these tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, the Ming Empire naturally doesn't pay much attention to it, because the territory of the Ming Empire is too vast now, and this bit of land is just a drop in the bucket.

But the Ottoman Empire was different, and since the death of their legendary Emperor Suleiman I, the Ottoman Empire's expansion has gradually stalled over the next hundred years, and little progress has been made.

If tens of thousands of square kilometers can be obtained, then Su Yiman will be the greatest contributor to the empire for decades, and glory and power are not within reach.

Although he now holds the power of the empire by the sole favor of Ibrahim I, he is actually only a Pasha, not a Grand Vizier, and if he has the credit for this expansion of territory, he is confident that he will take the position of Grand Vizier.

Therefore, he simply coveted the land ceded by the Persian Safavid Empire, and if he could, he even wanted to pocket all the land from Kandahar to the middle of the Ottoman Empire.

Of course, this is unlikely, because the Ottoman Empire had too few troops to garrison such a narrow area.

In the end, the two agreed that the narrow area of more than 2,000 miles from Kandahar to the Aral Sea would be owned by the Ming Empire, and the narrow area of more than 3,000 miles from the Aral Sea to the border of the Ottoman Empire would be owned by the Ottoman Empire.

Anyway, the land hasn't been handed over yet, and the two are so happy, will the Persian Safavid Empire agree?

Zheng Zhilong was not worried that the Persian Safavid Empire would disagree at all, because he had too many hole cards in his hand.

A few days later, the Grand Vizier of the Persian Safavid Empire finally arrived in Farah City, Zheng Zhilong received the news, and rushed to the Ming army camp outside Farah City with a group of negotiators, rested for a night, and only notified the Persian delegation to come to negotiate early the next morning.

Qi Qi was worried all the way, because the advantage of the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire was too great, and he believed that if the Ming Empire did not count the casualties, it would definitely be able to destroy the Persian Safavid Empire!

He has already made plans to agree to the Eurasian railway built by the Ming Empire, as for Britain and the Netherlands, if you offend it, you will be offended, the Persian Empire has been beaten like this, and I haven't seen them lend a hand, such an ally is really chilling.

In fact, he wronged Britain and the Netherlands, and after the two countries received the Persian Empire's request for help, they also considered the issue of support, but the land route had the Ottoman Empire Hengtan in the middle, and the sea route was choked by the Ming Habsburg League, unless they walked around the Cape of Good Hope in a big circle, but, in that case, the cost was too high, not to mention, it took too long, and when the reinforcements rushed over, it was estimated that the Persian Empire was finished!

Therefore, after consulting Richelieu, both countries invariably chose to remain silent.

It is said that Qi Qi came to the front of the Ming army camp with apprehension, and was faced with an artillery array composed of more than 1,000 artillery, and the first row alone, both in caliber and length, greatly exceeded the artillery of the Persian Empire, and the further back the artillery, the larger the artillery, and the more frightened it was.

No wonder Sultan was so unconfident, these cannons alone were not something he could resist.

Then there were rows of cavalry and infantry, the uniforms, the equipment, the formation, the spirit, it was simply daunting.

At this time, Qi Qi has completely lost his self-confidence, and being an enemy of such a powerful empire is simply looking for death!

Zheng Zhilong's posture was to make the Persian negotiating delegation afraid, as long as they were afraid, the negotiation would be much simpler.

Sure enough, when Qi Qi walked into the negotiation tent, his face was obviously a little pale, and it seemed that the effect was not bad.

Zheng Zhilong didn't go to greet him in person, and after Bunqi came in, he just politely led Su Yiman and the others to stand up and let the translator introduce them one by one.

The first introduction was naturally him, the king of Zhennan of the Ming Empire and the governor of Nanyang, Zheng Zhilong.

After listening to the translator's introduction, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan of the Ming Empire had naturally heard that the area in charge was even larger than the entire Persian Empire, and besides, this guy was born as a pirate, so he couldn't afford to provoke him!

When the translator introduced the second one, his eyes were about to pop out, it turned out to be Suiman Pasha, how could this actual ruler of the Ottoman Empire wear the military uniform of the Ming Empire, what the hell is this?

Followed by Hou Shilu, Qin Yiming and Yang Zhong, these three are all leading generals, but there is nothing to say.

On the side of the Safavid Empire in Persia, there was the Grand Vizier, the Minister of War, Sultan, the Minister of Finance, and two leading generals.

After the introduction was completed, the two sides sat down on both sides of the negotiation table, and Zheng Zhilong said coldly: "On behalf of the Ming Empire, this king strongly condemns your invasion of Kandahar, and asks your country to make an official apology for this matter, and compensate for the casualties and military losses of the soldiers of the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire!" “

As soon as he heard the interpreter's explanation, a mouthful of blood spurted out, who did it first, and he couldn't help but retort: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, our Persian Safavid Empire did not invade Kandahar, we are just defending. “

Zheng Zhilong still said coldly: "Defense? Can you lead an army of 200,000 to within 100 miles of Kandahar? If it weren't for our Ming Empire sending troops to reinforce in time, would you have changed from defense to offense? “

Qi Qi was speechless, why is this person so shameless!

He only thought that Zheng Zhilong was really strong, but he didn't know that it was actually their provocation that caused the Ming Empire to increase troops in South Asia.

Sultan, the only negotiator of the Persian Empire who knew the truth of the matter, was already sweating with fright at this time, and if the two sides continued to argue on this issue, he would be absolutely doomed!

He thought about it quickly, and then interjected: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, no matter what, it is a fact that we did not attack Kandahar, and now your Ming army has penetrated hundreds of miles into our Persian Empire, and the Ottoman army has also besieged our old capital Tabriz for more than ten days, these are not the fault of our Persian Empire, right?" “
