"Mahmud Pasha, the messenger of the Xia people asks to meet." Knock

In the camp of the Ottoman army outside Kerman, Pasha Mahmoud Erling listened to the words of the soldiers who came to report, and could not help but look surprised, and said, "The envoy of the Xia people? What is he doing here?"

His chief attendant hesitated for a moment and said, "Pasha, in any case, the Xia people's country is very strong, and it is better for us not to offend them, so let's let him in."

Mahmoud nodded, he ordered the soldier to bring the envoy in, and then he straightened his regular clothes, and it didn't take long for the envoy to walk in with his head held high behind the soldier.

The Xia envoy also came with the Persians who knew Turkish who had taken refuge in the Xia army, and the Xia envoy looked at the Pasha sitting on the throne, bowed his hand, and then said unceremoniously: "I am on the order of the Duke of Great Xia and the Great Protector of Mengchi, and I have come to hold you accountable, why do you invade my land of Great Xia and slaughter my naturalized people of Great Xia?"

Mahmoud looked at the Xia envoy with a bewildered expression, completely unable to understand what he meant by the language, and the Persians who came with the Xia envoy couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing his words, but they still stubbornly translated for Mahmoud sentence by sentence.

After he translated the original words, Mahmud was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "Messenger of the Xia people, as far as I know, Adalan is the territory of the Persians, how come I don't know when he will become the territory of your Xia Kingdom?"

In the face of Mahmud's question, the Xia envoy was not in a hurry, he raised his hand to the sky and saluted, and said: "I have an ancient saying in China since ancient times, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, all the places that my Daxia king's sword points to are my Daxia territory, and the Persian barbarians have offended the heavens, and now its capital has fallen, and the king has fled, and its land and its people are naturally all owned by my Daxia, and the residents of Lorestan also belong to my Daxia. In this way, our dynasty will not be held accountable for your sins, but if you are stubborn, then the Persian barbarian kings and ministers will be the end of you!" Knock

"You!"

Mahmoud was still full of doubts about his tirade, but after listening to the translation, he suddenly became furious, stood up from the throne suddenly, and shouted: "I, the Ottoman Empire, dominate Europe, Asia and Africa, and there is no one in the world who is invincible, how dare you guys from the East say such big things, those things are the spoils of our legitimate possession, no one wants us to hand them over!"

After all, he still kept his sanity in his heart, so he did not directly push the Xia envoy out and behead him like other brutal Osman Pasha, but the Xia envoy did not dare to move, which did not mean that the Persian translator did not dare to move, so he immediately ordered someone to drag the Persian translator out, cut off his left ear, and let the Xia envoy take it back as a return gift.

The summer envoy did not expect the Ottomans to be so brutal, he looked at the Persian translator who was dragged out in shock, but soon regained his composure, he deliberately suppressed the anger that then erupted in his heart, and said word by word: "If this is your answer, then I hope you will not regret the choice you made today."

Mahmoud ignored his threat and only sneered in response.

After the Xia envoy and the Persian interpreter who had one of his ears cut off were blasted out, Mahmud's chief attendant hurriedly came over, he looked at the angry Pasha, and said with some hesitation, "Pasha, are we a little too impulsive to treat the Xia envoy like this?"

"What do you want to say? Are we really going to honestly hand over everything we have stolen?" Mahmoud glared at him and asked rhetorically. Knock

"It's not." The chief of the chamberlain shook his head and said, "The Persians are obviously going to be finished, if nothing else, the Xia people will replace the Persians and become our new neighbors, if we make enemies with them now, I am afraid that there will be something *** troublesome in the future, I think we should report this matter to Konstantinniye immediately, and communicate with the Grand Vizier first."

Mahmoud listened to his proposal, frowned slightly, thought for a while, nodded in agreement with his proposal, and said, "What you say makes sense, I will write to Konstantinye immediately."

……

On the other hand, the Xia envoys hurried all the way back to Isfahan and reported their fate to Mu Tianbo and the generals in Kerman, and when they learned that the Ottomans had cut off the ears of their Persian interpreters, the generals were quite angry and clamored to give the Ottomans a little color.

Although Mu Tianbo was silent on his face, there was also a bit of anger brewing in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Where is Guan Qixun?"

"The end will be." Guan Qixun, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, who was named by name, responded with his fists in response.

"I order you to rush to the aid of Kerman with the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade, repel the Austro-Yi army, and teach them a lesson, remember, stop at the point, and don't hit their country with a hot head." Knock

When Guan Qixun heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and responded to it, and several other brigade commanders looked a little red-eyed, and they also wanted to compete with the Ottoman army.

Immediately, Guan Qixun led the Fourth Brigade to leave Isfahan and rush to the direction of Kerman, and Mu Tianbo did not continue to stay in the city, he continued to transfer troops, and ordered Fuhou Tan Wen and his second son Mu Zhongliang to cross the mountains to attack Qazvin, and personally led the army to march to Qazvin.

Qazvin, the former capital of the Persian Empire, was not as fortified as Isfahan and Tabriz, but it was still a fortified city.

After fleeing to the city, Suleiman I hurriedly sent envoys to various places, asking the troops from all over the country to "King Qin" here, and although he was angry at the brutality of the Ottomans, he also realized that he seemed to be able to ask the Ottomans for help and rely on their strength to defeat the Xia army and retake Isfahan.

Although this idea was somewhat of a wolf in it, it was also the most effective way they could think of to defeat Xia Jun at the moment.

The strength of the current Ottoman army is one of the best in the entire known world, if it is really to be ranked, the Xia army that marched all the way west from the Far East to this side may be called the first, the second should be the French army known as the world's first army before the Xia army, and the third is the Ottomans, a West Asian power.

The Xia army came from the Far East to this side, and at the same time the battle was fought on two fronts, and the Ottoman army was fighting at home, and the Persians did not think that the Ottomans could not defeat each other in this way. Knock

Therefore, under the persuasion of the council, Suleiman I had to put aside his prejudices against the Ottomans for the time being and send an emissary to Constantinniye, no matter what the cost, to obtain help from the Ottoman Empire.

It's just that the Xia army obviously won't give them the opportunity to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

In mid-July, the Xia army led by Tan Wen and Mu Zhongliang forcibly crossed the plateau and invaded the Qazvin region after receiving orders, and they easily routed the demoralized Persian army that had been defeated one after another, and surrounded the new capital of the Persian Empire, Qazvin.

Subsequently, the Xia army set up artillery outside the city, aimed at the city to launch a fierce artillery bombardment, on this road Xia army surrounded Qazvin five days, Mu Tianbo also led the main force of the sixth town to arrive outside the city to meet with it, they set up all the artillery of the sixth town, launched a more fierce artillery bombardment on the city.

After a day and a night of shelling, the morale and defense system of the defenders of Qazvin City completely collapsed, and the Xia army immediately entered the city from the blasted open gate, and the defenders in the city took the initiative to lay down their arms and surrender, the only resistance encountered was the last Persian Shah's forbidden army around the palace, after a small fierce battle, the last resistance was defeated, and Suleiman I led the royal family and officials to surrender to the Xia army.

Three days after Qazvin was conquered, the good news from Kerman was also sent to Mu Tianbo, and after a fierce battle with the Ottoman local army outside the city, the Ottoman army was defeated, leaving behind not only a large amount of loot from Adalan, but also their baggage supplies and thirteen artillery pieces.

The Battle of Kerman made the Ottoman army see the strength of the Xia army for the first time, and Mahmoud Pasha, who fled back, was frightened, and hurriedly reported the course and results of the battle to Konstantiniye, and described the strength of the Xia army to the central government in detail. Knock

At the same time, he also realized that it was completely wrong for him to offend the Xia army so recklessly, and that the local army on the eastern border alone could not compete with the Xia

army confrontation, he believed that only the Janissaries regiment, which was directly under the center, could have the strength to fight against the Xia army.

……

Regardless of the Ottomans' reaction, the vast Persian Empire fell into a vortex of division as the Persian royal family fell into the hands of the Xia army.

Across the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian enclave on the Arabian Peninsula quickly broke out of control, and the central emirs declared their independence, but then they were invaded by the Muscat Sultanate (Oman) in the east, which had been waiting for the time to expel the Persians, and now that the Persian Empire was on the verge of destruction, they could no longer hold back and invade all the Persian Empire's lands on the Arabian Peninsula.

The Xia army on the other side of the sea was beyond the reach of the Xia army for a while, but in the Persian Empire itself, those wavering emirs saw that the Xia army's powerful force was preparing to sweep away all the Persian homelands that did not surrender in time, so they submitted surrender tables to Isfahan, expressing their willingness to surrender to the Xia army.

At the behest of Mu Tianbo, the Xia army marched into Azerbaijan, arrested the nobles who sought independence for so-called treason, shot them all, and then established a more stable rule in the region.

It was not until the end of 1671 that the Xia army finally stabilized order in the Persian region, because the territory of Persia was large, and the Xia army was not large enough to leave garrisons in every city, so they could only recruit militia from among the locals as auxiliaries to help maintain local order. Knock

When the news came and went, when the will of the imperial court was sent back to Isfahan from Jiangning, it was already the first half of 1672, and the imperial court showed full affirmation of the conquest of Persia, announcing that the Persian region would be divided into the Persian capital, and Mu Tianbo would be transferred from the capital of Mengchi to the protector of Persia, and his two sons and the generals who fought were rewarded.

Of course, that's all for later.

At the same time that the Xia army was victorious in the Persian region, the Xia army on the northern front, under the command of Fu Xinghua, began to forcibly cross the Ural Mountains and invade Russia in Europe.

In June and July, the climate in the Ural Mountains was pleasant, and the cold snap from the Arctic Ocean would move south in a few months, and the Xia army, led by the local naturalized native guides, carried enough dry food and water to last for a month, and crossed the Ural Mountains lightly.

Although the Anxi army had never had the experience of climbing over the mountains before, with the assistance of the foreign legion, they still successfully climbed the mountain, Daniel Zhang took the lead, personally led the team to the front, and under the efforts of the Xia army, they finally crossed the mountain range and came to the West Ural Mountains in less than a month.

Later, they met the indigenous tribes who had settled here, and there were many tribes in the Ural Mountains, but perhaps because of the remoteness, they were not very loyal to the Russian government.

The local residents were hospitable, and when they saw the arrival of the Xia army, they did not scatter and flee, but took the initiative to welcome this army from afar, entertaining them with hunted reindeer and other wild beasts, Daniel Zhang did not let down his guard against them, but he still asked the locals about the movements of the Russian army here. Knock

According to local residents, after the Russian army withdrew to the west bank of the Ural River, it did not concentrate all its forces there, and in order to prevent the Xia army from crossing the Ural Mountains, the Cossack cavalry and part of the army in the Russian army were sent to the north to patrol along the Ural Mountains.

This information of the residents was later confirmed, and the scouts sent by Daniel Zhang reported that the Russian army had indeed patrolled at the foot of the mountain for a long time, but this was not much of a problem, and Daniel Zhang thought about it briefly and decided to go down the mountain in the open and capture the Russian town of Perm at the foot of the mountain.

After resting for a while among the aboriginal tribes, the Xia army rushed like a tiger down the mountain towards the small town of Perm, which was still a small and sparsely populated settlement, and its defenses were extremely weak, and the local residents did not expect the flames of war to burn on their heads.

Thus, after the Xia army descended the mountain to attack, the small town of Perm was easily taken, the town governor was killed in the resistance, and the inhabitants immediately became prisoners of the Xia army.

After the capture of Perm, the Xia army did not continue to move south, the degree of fighting here was not fierce, the Russian patrol was completely unaware that the Xia army had entered the European border, so Daniel Zhang thought about it and decided to set up an ambush near Perm to kill and injure part of the Russian patrol.
