In this plane, the Persians are really just a generic term. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

If divided according to ethnicity, there are also Mede, Persian, Parthian, Sasian, and Scythian...... If they are divided into regions, there are people from various regions, and there is no need to mention them one by one, because the Persian region is also only a geographical general name.

The history of the Persian region is also long and does not need to be detailed.

At the time when the entire Persian region was conquered by the Tatars, the Persians were in the Hwathornzim dynasty.

It was one of their heyday, and their territory stretched from the Transoxiana region of Central Asia in the north, the Ferghana Basin and Gedrosia and Arachosia and Gantola in the east, the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea in the south, and Azerbaijan in the west.

At the beginning of 1219, their territory was about 3.6 million square kilometers and had a total population of about 12 million.

The Khwarazm dynasty was also given the title of "emir" by the Islamic Caliphate in Baghdad, Mesopotamia, and thus de jure belonged to the countries of the Islamic world.

After the invasion and conquest of Khorezm by an army of 100,000 troops, Temujin, the founder of the Tatar bandit group, the entire Persian region was ruled by the Ilkhanate.

The Ilkhanate continued its repression of Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and the Sultanate of Rum, destroying the Murayi, the Abbasids, and the Ayyubids in Syria, before being defeated by the Mamluks in Egypt and having to retreat to Persia after ceding Syria......

When they were leaving, they brought back many craftsmen from Syria as slaves, and the shipwrights among them were naturally placed in the shipyards of the ports of Beggars and Uman.

These craftsmen were slaves in the shipyard, they had no income, no freedom------ and if they could not complete a day's ration of work, they would be starved, whipped or even killed!

Most of their guards were Armenian soldiers------ as previously introduced, they were allies of the Tatar bandit group, and they followed them to death.

On the morning of this day, they were still going to work, and they had to do endless labor all the time, unless one day they would die of sickness or beatings.

Sabir, the master shipbuilder in the shipyard, was treated well because of his skill, and instead of being confined to a large wooden hut like the other craftsmen, he lived alone with his son, Sabir the Younger.

They can also eat a little better, a little more.

Early that morning, after eating a piece of coarse wheat bread that was not much bigger than the palm of their hand, Sabir and Sabir Jr. joined the shipbuilding army like the other craftsmen.

At this time, the mist on the surface of the Qifu River has just dissipated, and the date palm grove in the distance is looming------ and after a while, when the sun rises, the weather will be hot.

The shipyard is stacked with hills of cedar wood, all of which have to be broken into planks to build ships.

This is a huge project, and fortunately, ordinary craftsmen can complete it without the need for great craftsmen to do it.

Little Sabir looked at the craftsmen who were pulling the saws and whispered, "My father, I can't imagine that they would let the circular saws make the timber into planks by themselves!" ”

Some time ago, when a Persian merchant came here to order merchant ships, he boasted to the craftsmen about what he had seen on the island of Liuqiu.

Able to lift a large wooden boom by himself; Able to turn to cut large wooden planks...... There are even big carts that can be driven by just adding coal and water!

That's the power that only Allah can have......

Sabir looked at the overseer in the distance and replied quietly, "Don't listen to the nonsense of those merchants! They only have dinars and gold in their eyes------"

The two of them talked as they walked towards the warship they had built.

They have to hurry up and work, the urging from above is very tight, and if they can't complete the task, they will be whipped.

At this time, the entire shipyard was filled with all kinds of noise, and the place where more than a thousand people were working at the same time could not be quiet, and they certainly could not hear any sound in the distance.

The water of the Beggars River flowed quietly as usual, gently crashing against the docks of the shipyard.

As the sun rises, the sea breeze begins to blow towards the upper reaches of the Qishi River, which is a good time for the sea boats to pour into the Qishi River.

The water depth of the main channel of the Qishi River is more than five meters, and the wharf equipment of the Qishi shipyard is intact, so it is easy for ships of about 100 tons to dock.

Once the work began, no one was looking around...... Even the soldiers with whips to oversee the work were watching the craftsmen's movements carefully.

The current deadline is too tight, and everyone knows that the current batch of warships must be completed in ten days, and if it is not completed, everyone will be punished...... Only Allah knows why the Persian navy is so short of ships!

After his accession to the throne, the Great Khan of Abha attached far more importance to the navy than his father, Hulagu Khan...... Of course, shipping in Persia was already well developed, and there were many shipyards along the Mediterranean coast.

Now the Great Khan of Abakha is raising manpower to build more shipyards along the coast of the Persian Gulf...... There are only two boat yards, which are obviously not enough.

No one would have imagined that the rise of the sea power would inspire the enthusiasm for shipbuilding in Persia, thousands of miles away!

While everyone was busy, two two-masted galleons of about fifty tons and Liuqiu River were quietly sailing into the Qiqi River......

Squadron Leader Zhang Depei stood at the bow of the ship, holding a monocular, looking at the panoramic view of the begging shipyard, they were only 300 meters away from the dock at that time.

Two river-class warships, under the blowing of the sea breeze, marched steadily towards the pier.

In this time and space, their vertical-shaft rudders were far more dexterous and practical than the long-oared rudders of Persian warships, and they were used easily in both the river and the sea.

In the battle plan, after they captured the begging wharf, they did not stop for a moment, and divided the troops into two ways, Captain Guo Beyu went directly to seize the begging lost city, and Squadron Leader Zhang Depei led the team to seize the begging shipyard.

Judging from their operational objectives, begging for the shipyard is their important goal.

They rushed into the beggar harbor at four o'clock in the morning!

It was just dawn, and almost all the people on the four warships had not slept all night...... Unlike the island, which had captured pirates, it was a small city, and there were only about 400 of them.

When they fought a pirate's lair before, they didn't even use a river-class warship, and directly hoisted a dozen swordfish-style assault boats, and a hundred or so team members rowed towards the beach of the island together.

The reef surrounding the island is a sea that makes it easy for ships who don't know the conditions to get close to it, which is the main reason why it is a pirate nest.

But the swordfish assault boat was not afraid at all...... At this time, the sea was clear, and they specially chose to attack at noon when the sun was at its fullest, and they didn't look at the pirates in the lair at all!

What can you do when you see us attack?! I hope you will stop it, if you run, you will have to bother to catch it!!

At that time, their river and sea ships were cruising the open seas, waiting for the pirates to sail out to sea.

At that time, more than a dozen swordfish-style assault boats were sliding quickly on the surface of the sea...... The pirates stationed in the lair had indeed seen it a long time ago, and they found that there were not many people on the other side at first, and there were huge sea ships in their eyes that were out of the sea, and they didn't dare to sail away, obviously they couldn't outrun those big ships!

More than 200 of them chose to block the ...... on the beach Spearmen, archers lined up.

However, they didn't expect that before the dozen or so swordfish-style assault boats could wash up on the beach, the people on them cast terrible weapons on the rickety boats!

It is true that the accuracy of shooting on assault boats is not high, and although the team members have trained many times, they cannot improve the level of shooting on land...... But the dense formation of the pirates increased their mortality rate, and they thought that when their opponents came ashore, they would be able to kill the hundred or so men who were obviously not armed with spears and bows in the sea with a single collective attack!

At that time, when the pirates waiting in line to charge, they found that people were constantly falling, either immediately dead, or lying on the ground rolling and howling...... They were scattered in all directions in no time!

Of course, there are also stubborn guys hiding behind the reef and trying to cast cold arrows...... However, after the members of the Liuqiu Guards came ashore, they immediately formed a combat group, surrounded in front and back, and quickly eliminated the iron-hearted resistance, and the entire island became a temporary base for the Liuqiu Guard.

The battle to capture the island is not worth mentioning, but it must be the same as the way they took the beggar city.

I hope it will get better in the future. (To be continued.) )
