749 Persia

With the occupation of the southern shore of the Persian Gulf by the Tang Dynasty, the military operations of the Tang Dynasty in Persia were also launched.

The recently assassinated monarch of Iran's Qajar dynasty, Aga Muhammad, was brutal and committed many ****** crimes, and the rulers of the Qajar dynasty were Turkmen, and many Persians were not happy with him. Although the previous Sand dynasty was also established by the Kurds, the rulers did not claim to be emperors but supporters of the people, and although the politics of the Sand dynasty were not clear, the tax system was fair and the judiciary was relatively just, which was well received. On the other hand, the perverse behavior of the Qajar dynasty made the Persians extremely dissatisfied.

The military intelligence bureau still unearthed a more useful dark line in Persia and found a little prince of a local tribe. This little prince hit it off with the Tang Dynasty, and after receiving the support of the Tang Dynasty, he immediately announced that he would raise troops against the Kaijia Dynasty. At this time Aga Muhammad had just died, and his nephew Fatah? Alisha's regime had not yet been secured, and there were many opponents of him, and some people openly raised troops, which immediately added uncertainty to the situation in Persia.

The little prince not only raised an army, but also declared that the brutal Qajar tribe (the root of the Qajar dynasty) had no right to rule the Persian people and could not bring happiness to Persia, and that the Persians should learn from the Tang Dynasty in order to reap the benefits of peace and stable development. He publicly announced his accession to the Tang Republic, and naturally received approval from the Tang side.

Due to the vast area and relatively larger population of Persia, the Tang Dynasty immediately invested two divisions in Persia, namely the Second Division of Yamato and the 13th Division of the Tang Army. The biggest problem faced by the Tang army was not the combat effectiveness of the Persian army, but the complex terrain and harsh environment of the Persian plateau.

Because they were not familiar with the local situation, the Tang army suffered some small losses in the early days of the war. However, as the Tang army gradually gained experience and the number of local rebels increased, the Tang Dynasty still succeeded in gradually bringing Persia under control within a year.

In the process, there was a minor event, when Catherine II died in 1796 and the power in Russia fell to the incompetent Paul I. When the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Persia, many aristocrats and politicians in Tsarist Russia saw this excellent opportunity. Russia, having long coveted the Georgian states, entered the region in 1783 and made Georgia, which was also an Orthodox Christian, its protectorate. Later, because Georgia and Turkey were at loggerheads, in fact, this relationship was not really fulfilled.

In 1795, the Persian Qajars invaded Georgia again and captured its capital, Tbilisi, burning it to the ground.

After the Tang Dynasty's military forces intervened in Persia, they also entered Georgia and established their rule there. Obviously, the Russians were not particularly satisfied with this, but Tsarist Russia was more afraid of the Tang Dynasty than Persia. Paul I sent a mission to discuss with the Tang Dynasty. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement to divide Georgia, and the two sides were bounded by the Caucasus Mountain Line, and the area to the north was owned by Tsarist Russia, and the area to the south was owned by the Tang Dynasty, and the two sides did not invade each other.

However, this agreement did not solve the problem of demarcating the Caspian Sea, and laid the groundwork for the future struggle between the two countries for rights and interests in the Caspian Sea.

Unlike the Tang Dynasty, which was hated by the Arabs on the Tianfang Peninsula (Arabian Peninsula), most Persians were happy to see the Tang Dynasty's rule here. Except for the already sparsely populated coastal area of the Persian Gulf, which is an important oil-producing area, the Tang Dynasty has carried out a certain number of immigrants to this area, and in most Persian areas, the Tang Dynasty has not carried out any expulsion or aggression against the locals.

In some of the more important cities, such as Shiraz, Isfahan, Tehran and other regions, the Tang Dynasty established a more Tang Dynasty ruling model, while some of the more remote areas were still actually tribal. However, the ruling model of the Tang Dynasty is obviously more advanced, and the Tang Dynasty is religiously in a relatively enlightened state and will not persecute a certain sect, which makes a considerable number of people gain the right to live. Secondly, the entry of Tang capital provided a large number of Persian poor people with work opportunities, especially urban residents, and Tang employers with working hours and wage standards were obviously good people of this era, and Persians all wanted to work in Tang capital's factories and companies. Finally, although the laws set up by the Datang are more detailed, they are also fairer, and for the tribes, the Datang government also has many restrictions that strictly prohibit harm to the local people. If the local people who were violated sue the court in Datang, the Tang people will definitely deal with it. Even a tribe with no more power is useless, and if you disobey the Tang Dynasty, you will be pushed by the Tang army.

After a period of time, the Persians felt the benefits of Tang rule, and Persia did achieve stable development. Especially after becoming the Persian overseas lord of the Tang Dynasty, he traded with the Tang Dynasty and other overseas territories, which made Persia prosperous. Persian carpets also soon became another monopoly of the Tang Dynasty best-selling products.

After the establishment of the Persian overseas consulate in the Tang Dynasty, it implemented a relatively strict system of separation of church and state, which was opposed by many forces in the process, and some people incited the locals to oppose the overseas consular government of the Tang Dynasty. On the one hand, Datang is spicy to the unsightly goods, and will never show mercy. Although Persia has a radical tradition, after all, the gap between the times is too great, and the Tang Military Intelligence Bureau is obviously more skilled in fighting. The Tang Dynasty's underground struggle in Persia continued until more than a decade later, when the local radical rebels finally disappeared.

Although the Tang people were very different from them in terms of skin color and beliefs, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty obviously cherished the people's power and had the ability to maintain the security and stability of Persia, which made a large number of poor Persians support the Tang Dynasty.

In essence, this is a battle for the hearts and minds of the people, and the Tang Dynasty has too many good cards, and through multiple means such as economic development and secularized education, it gradually brought Persia into modernization.

For the Tang Dynasty, mastering Persia is actually a relatively convenient matter, and it is not even among the top ten important affairs of the Tang Dynasty. Datang's main expectation for Persia is still oil on the coast of the Persian Gulf.

Datang has built a naval base in Bandar Abbas, which is better in terms of conditions than Muscat and places like Qatar or Bahrain, and has better supply support for the base, especially in terms of water resources, because there is a river near Bandar Abbas. (To be continued.) )
