Volume 16 Chapter 57 Peace Talks Are in Preparation

The Ming Empire is about to hold peace talks with the Persian Safavid Empire, this news Su Yiman is listening to the Persian envoy, it turns out that the Prime Minister of the Persian Empire heard that the Ming Empire is willing to negotiate peace, and immediately sent an envoy to Tabriz to inform the commander of the Ottoman Empire's army.

He was afraid that the Ottoman commander would not know that the Ming Empire had ceased fire with the Persian Empire, and would continue to storm Tabriz, and if Tabriz was captured by the Ottoman Empire, then this peace negotiation would be even more difficult to discuss.

Su Yiman was too lazy to attack Tabriz again, and the reason why he led his army to surround it was to wait for the Ming Empire to win and invite some credit.

Now it seems that the Ming Empire has won a decisive victory, and the Persian Empire has already recognized it, what else is he fighting.

However, he really wanted to participate in this peace talks, and this was a good opportunity to make a profit.

Because according to the Persian envoys, the peace talks will not start until about half a month later, and this time it is not that the Persian Empire wants to delay time, but mainly because their prime minister is going to the city of Farah to preside over the peace talks.

Qi is not like them can beat horses and gallop, he is already old, he can only take a carriage to drive over slowly, more than two thousand miles, it would be good to be able to arrive in half a month.

There was half a month, which was enough time for him to rush from the sea to the port of South Asia of the Ming Empire, and then take the train to Kandahar, so Su Yiman decided to join in the fun, participate in the peace talks, show himself, and make some money.

He hurriedly told his generals to pay attention to defense and not to attack, and then took tens of thousands of cavalry and rushed to the port of the Ottoman Empire in the Persian Gulf, where there were armed ships of the Ming royal merchants, and he borrowed a few ships at will, and he could rush to the ports of the Ming Empire in South Asia in a day or two.

As a result, before he arrived at the port of the Persian Gulf, he met the envoy of the Ming Empire on the way.

It turned out that after Zheng Zhilong received the emperor's will, he began to consider the issue of peace negotiators, and the first thing he thought of was the Ottoman Empire, because the alliance treaty stipulated that they would advance and retreat together militarily, and never sign an armistice agreement with the enemy alone.

This time, the Ottoman Empire had already been invited by the Ming Empire to participate in the war, and it was natural that they should be slightly higher during the peace talks, so before he set off for Kandahar, he asked the Nanyang Naval Division to send ten super battleships to the ports of the Persian Gulf, and then went by land to inform Suiman to come to participate in the peace talks. 、

Su Yiman was so happy when he saw the envoy of the Ming Empire, the Ming Empire was about credibility, and he didn't forget to send a warship to pick him up during the peace talks.

He followed the envoys of the Ming Empire all the way to the Persian Gulf, took his entourage and personal guards on the warships of the Ming Empire, rushed all the way to the port of Mumbai, and took the special train specially sent by Zheng Zhilong to Kandahar, which took less than ten days in total.

Zheng Zhilong was also very happy that Su Yiman could arrive in time, and just as he was going to inspect the army outside Farah City and inspect the place of peace talks, he simply invited Su Yiman to go with him.

Su Yiman naturally couldn't ask for it, although he had been to the Ming Empire several times, but each time he had only seen the army of the Ming Empire from a distance, and he had never had close contact with it, how could he miss such an opportunity.

So, Zheng Zhilong took Su Yiman, accompanied by Qin Yiming, the commander of the Second Army of the Expeditionary Force, and under the escort of 20,000 cavalry, he rushed all the way to the Ming army camp outside Farah City.

As soon as he entered the camp, Su Yiman was shocked by the scene in front of him, the unified military tent, the neat Chongzheng uniform, the energetic and high-spirited Ming army soldiers, all of which shocked him.

This is the real elite division, thinking of the messy camp tents of the 200,000 army he led, as well as the various military uniforms, he couldn't help but envy.

Zheng Zhilong saw his expression, then looked at the rustic military uniform on his body, and couldn't help but say generously: "Lord Suyman, are you interested in our Ming military uniform, do you want to apply for a marshal military uniform for this king?" “

When Su Yiman heard the interpreter's explanation, he couldn't help but ask with interest: "Oh, Your Highness Nicholas, what is the marshal's military uniform like, and can I also wear the marshal's military uniform of the Ming Empire?" “

Zheng Zhilong straightened his waist and said proudly: "The marshal's uniform is like this, as long as you want, I can apply to His Majesty the Emperor for you, give you the position of honorary marshal, and then tailor a few sets of marshal uniforms for you, how about it?" “

Su Yiman naturally wanted it, and he said excitedly: "Then thank you Your Highness Nikolai." “

Accompanied by Hou Shilu, Qin Yiming, and Yang Zhong, the two of them toured around the Ming army's camp, inspected the negotiation site, and rested in the camp for a night before rushing back to Kandahar the next day.

Zheng Zhilong didn't say anything about military appearance and military discipline, but he had some opinions about the negotiation venue, he felt that it was too uncomfortable to sit on the carpet to negotiate, and it was better to put it on the conference table and chairs.

Su Yiman's feeling is different, no matter where he goes, the soldiers of the Ming army are holding their heads high, standing neatly, this army is unbelievably good, and the row of neat thousands of artillery pieces in front of the battalion makes him envious, the Ottoman Empire should have so many sophisticated artillery, it is not invincible in Central Asia!

Zheng Zhilong naturally didn't know what this guy was thinking, in his opinion, the military appearance and military discipline of the First Legion of the Expeditionary Force, the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force and the Loyal and Brave Army could only be regarded as good, but there was nothing outstanding about it, because the Nanyang Naval Division he was used to seeing was also a first-class legion, so his vision was naturally high.

As for the artillery, he didn't have much of a cold, his flagship was loaded with the latest twelve-inch super cannon of the Ming Empire, and he was used to seeing those big guys more than ten feet long, and then looking at these artillery, he didn't feel anything anymore.

After returning to Kandahar, Zheng Zhilong immediately sent a telegram to the emperor asking if he could give Su Yiman the title of honorary marshal and make him several sets of marshal uniforms, because he seemed to have a strong interest in Chongzheng.

Zhu Cijiong was naturally happy when he received the telegram, because this Chongzheng suit was designed by him, and it was okay to be named an honorary marshal, and Su Yiman was still quite good.

So, he sent a telegram back to Zheng Zhilong, sealing Su Yiman as the honorary marshal of the Ming Empire, and hinting to Zheng Zhilong to find a way to make the Ottoman army also change into Chongzheng clothes!

Zheng Zhilong understood, he first told Su Yiman the good news, and then arranged for someone to quickly find a merchant to tailor the marshal's military uniform for him, he believed that as long as this military uniform was worn on his body, there would definitely be a feeling of being a dick to the end, and it would be simple to sell Chongzheng clothes to Su Yiman when the time came.

Chongzheng clothing is now a popular costume in the Ming Empire, and there are actually a lot of people who can make marshal clothes in Kandahar, but no one dares to make it exactly the same as the real marshal costume, which is asking for trouble.

However, the king of Zhennan sent people to order it is different, a large number of merchants rush to do it, and ensure that it is exactly the same, and the price is lower than one newspaper, such a good publicity opportunity, who wants to miss it.
