Although the situation in Baghdad is complicated, it is just a few remnants of the defeated army, just as Xun Yu said to Cao Cao, "deep roots to control the world", Wuzong Hassan, who has lost his base, is just rootless duckweed, and this land is rich in horse bandits and thieves are no different, after Julius mobilized the people in Baghdad well, Uzong Hassan's idea of taking Baghdad as a stronghold is obviously going to fail, which is also expected...

"Authorize the large estates, allow them to defend themselves and temporarily compromise with the enemy if necessary, but once our troops arrive, they must cooperate unconditionally with our actions, otherwise their actions will be seen as betrayal."

On December 15th, Julius's rewards began to be distributed in real amounts, and those who had more achievements in battle could even choose valuables such as spices as rewards, and they were all issued on the spot, after the first person got the reward, people's desire to fight greatly increased, so that the team outside the city suffered, and the other party also clearly felt the change in the situation, in fact, it was very simple, those people were going to run when they saw them before, but now they rushed up to fight with a roar, and the team of less than five people has been damaged I don't know how much.

Now the Aries cavalry does not dare to come out with less than five people, usually ten to twenty people and so people go out together, so far, there is not a squad of twenty people who have been wiped out by the citizen army of Baghdad, which makes Uzong Hassan rest for a while.

"Ramsey, what do we do now?"

Uzun Hassan was dressed fairly cleanly, and he didn't look like a desperate person, but his spirit was obviously exhausted, and the state of the whole person was already very wrong.

At this time, his eyes were blank, and the words in his mouth were full of helplessness, so that Ramsey, who had been with him all his life, could hardly speak.

"I... Let's run away and don't stay here any longer. ”

With a slight choked sob, Ramsey, a strong man, still couldn't help shedding tears, but soon he forcibly held it back by himself, if there were outsiders, he would think this scene was very funny.

"Run? Where else can we escape? Jahan hates me to the core, and now that he is in West Persia, shall we take refuge in him? I'd rather die than do it. ”

Great humiliation, great shame, not long ago, Uzun Hassan was still destroying the Black Sheep Dynasty near Baghdad, and now he actually wants him to take refuge in the defeated generals of his former subordinates, which is really more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Even if we don't go to Jahan, we can go to Abu Sa'id, and the ruler of Timur must have coveted the wealth of Mesopotamia, and we can incite him to provide us with weapons and equipment, and we may not be able to make a comeback when the time comes."

Uzun Hassan still shook his head, he knew all about the situation of the Timurid Empire, he originally planned to launch an attack on the Timurid Empire after controlling Antioch, and it was normal to collect information about the Timurid Empire, but he understood the situation of the other party, and he knew that it was impossible for Timur's Abu Said to send troops, the reason was very simple, there was a Jahan in the west, and Abu Said's ruling base was all in the east, but there was a strong enemy in the east, although Uzong Hasan didn't know who it was for the time being, But Abu Sa'id's eyes were always on the east, which was understood by Uzun Hassan, and because of this, Uzun Hassan concluded that Abu Sa'id did not dare to go to war on both sides.

"Then let's go north, to the steppes and take refuge in the Kipchak Khanate..."

As he spoke, Ramsey also knew that what he said was really unreliable, and he couldn't open his mouth with tears in his eyes.

The Kipchak Khanate is all cracked, and it really can't be controlled so much, if Uzun Hassan really goes there, maybe the current Great Horde Congress will arrest Uzong Hassan and send it to Constantinople.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, which made Uzun Hassan's face even more depressed, and Ramsey even more sad and angry.

"I'm going to stop them, what time is it now, can't they try to force us to death?"

Ramsey said hatefully, he thought it was Uzun Hassan's subordinates who were making trouble, and this kind of thing was not once or twice these days.

When the curtain was lifted, it was not the trouble that Ramsey expected, on the contrary, the leaders seemed to be beaming, and the spirit was completely different from before.

What's going on?

Ramsey was suspicious, but his eyes quickly locked on the characters surrounded by everyone, but the other party was dressed mediocrely, and he couldn't tell what a big person was.

"Faulkner, who is this?"

"Quick, please come out, Lord Uzun Hassan, maybe we will be saved this time."

Faulkner did not reply to Ramsey's words, but his elated tone could not be faked, and Ramsey could only half-believe to get out of the way, and followed everyone into the tent.

"The emissary of the Republic of San Marco greets His Holiness Emir, Uzun Hassan, the monarch of Diyarbakir."

The visitor recognized Uzong Hassan, after all, he was the only one in the tent, and the messenger also calmly saluted Uzong Hassan.

Venetian?

Uzun Hassan was very alarmed, and now the Venetians would actually find him? What is the reasoning behind this? Could it be that the Venetians also wanted to get along with the Roman Empire?

"The messenger has come from afar, what is there to tell me?"

Uzun Hassan decided to test the other party's attitude first, after all, there are not many people who dare to come to Uzong Hassan now, and even Uzong Hassan himself feels that there is no way out, so you can imagine the critical situation now.

"Our Governor Christopher Morrow and the members of the Council of Ten are very sympathetic to Your Excellency's plight, and in order to maintain peace and stability in the Eastern Mediterranean world, and of course, for the smooth flow and conduct of trade, we are willing to provide You with some assistance within our ability so that You can take your place in the Near East and better serve our well-being."

Seeing that Uzun Hassan's eyes began to become surprised, and then looked at himself with a blank eye, the envoy's heart couldn't help but be proud, and he didn't sell it, and opened the conditions of Venice,

"Five thousand pounds of grain, fifteen hundred light bows, five thousand arrows, one hundred crossbows, one hundred collars of light armor, five hundred collars of leather armor, and three hundred standard swords."

The abundance of materials almost made Uzun Hassan's jaw drop, and at the same time, he also had a very intuitive understanding of the wealth of the Venetians.

Obediently, this can wipe out a tribe on the chaotic Persian plateau, and there are not many tribes that can hold a thousand bows, let alone other things.

"It's... This... What does your country need me to do? ”

Uzong Hassan has already made up his mind in his heart, no matter what the other party asks, he will agree first, with this batch of materials, even if he can't turn the tables, he can get out of the way, right?

"Actually, it's very simple, the governor of Moro hopes that you can occupy a city along the Tigris or Euphrates, preferably to take back the plains of Mesopotamia, this batch of supplies is delivered to you in advance, you can recruit people in Persia to enrich the army, or occupy a territory in West Persia, and then try to seize Mesopotamia, this is the greatest hope of the governor of Moro."

When he said this, even Uzun Hassan couldn't help but look sideways, thinking, could it be that the Venetians betrayed Christianity? How much malice toward one's own country is so great?

"There is no problem, Your Excellency, I can promise your country's conditions, as soon as your country's supplies arrive, I will go to the West Persian region, and wait for the opportunity to retake Mesopotamia in the future."

The earth-shattering sound of Uzong Hassan's chest beating is free anyway, and God doesn't take it, but suffers from it.

"I have not finished speaking, if your Excellency has gained a firm foothold in the Persian region, you need to grant us the privilege of being exempt from customs duties, and provide us with some spices, porcelain, tea, silk, precious stones, and the like every year, and our merchants shall be exempt from duty in the territory of your country, and we will be given a monopoly in some trades, and only if you agree to this, will our goods be delivered to you."

Wuzong Hassan was not so calm at this time, his face was blue and purple for a while, and he looked as if he was not aggrieved.

"My lord, what are you waiting for? With such good conditions, the boys are waiting to go back! ”

Faulkner urged impatiently, Uzun Hassan glanced at the other party lightly, and sighed in his heart,

"Yes, Envoy, I can agree to all these conditions you said, and everything will be in accordance with the orders of Your Excellency and Governor Moro."

Even if Uzong Hassan is helpless, he can only do this, even if this condition may make him a puppet monarch and make his country a puppet country, but now the situation is stronger than people, and there is no way to do it.

"Of course, Lord Uzun Hassan, you will get everything you want."

When he saw that his goal had been achieved, the messenger was also very happy.

Why did the Venetians do this? Because the Venetians have felt that a great crisis is coming, after the Eastern Roman Empire recovered Antioch and took Mesopotamia, there were only two forces in the entire Near East, the Roman Empire and the Mamluk Dynasty, but because of the island of Cyprus, the Venetians and the Mamluks had many discords, and the Roman Empire's move almost excluded the Venetians from the Oriental trade!

And the trade privileges of the Venetians in the Eastern Empire, with the adjustment of Constantine, the advantage of the merchants in the Eastern Empire is no longer very large, the trade in the Black Sea has been done by Genoians for a long time, not to mention that the city of Trabzon is now also the territory of the Roman Empire, even if the Genoyans can still maintain the situation, the Venetians are about to be unable to bear it,

After many years, the Eastern Roman Empire, after losing this unique "bridge" status, actually wanted to regain it in the hands of Constantine XI, which was intolerable to the Venetians, and they were also well aware of what they had done to the Eastern Empire, and now they were most afraid of them.

Some people died, but not completely......
