Chapter 53 A farce

Less than a hundred miles west of Kandahar, the Persian Safavi Empire camp.

The Imperial Minister of Military Affairs Sultan was pacing back and forth in the commander's tent, his face full of anxiety.

He was afraid, he was really afraid. The Ming Empire is one of the most powerful countries in the world today. A country as huge as the Mughal Empire has not even lasted for a year in front of them, and it was destroyed as soon as it was said to be destroyed!

The Persian Safavi Empire was stronger than the Mughal Empire, but it was not strong enough to crush them. The Mughal Empire even used its number advantage to defeat the Persian Safavi Empire several times.

It can be said that the Persian Safavi Empire and the Mughal Empire are completely rivals of the same level. How could Sultan not be afraid when facing the Ming Empire that could easily destroy the Mughal Empire?

He really wanted to withdraw his troops, but he didn't dare to go back so quickly because he found a very bad excuse for sending troops this time.

That is, according to the investigation, the Ming Empire gathered more than 200,000 troops on the front line of Kandahar, preparing to attack the Persian Safavi Empire, occupy the coast of the Aral Sea, and open up the Eurasian Railway.

This is a typical lie about military affairs. In order to fulfill his lies, he must make his appearance. If he just ran over and retreated a few days ago, Prime Minister Taqi would definitely be suspicious.

That old guy is not easy to fool. He wants to let him know that he has taken bribes from Count Trafford and sent troops to provoke the Ming Empire. Count Trafford is fine, he is absolutely dead!

So, no matter what, he had to pretend to be facing a great enemy and stay here for a month before he could go back and say that the Ming Empire felt that there was no chance to take advantage of it and retreated.

In this way, he will not only not be dealt with by Taqi, but will also be deceived into making some small contributions.

As the saying goes, he will come whatever he is afraid of. He is worried all day long, afraid that the Ming Empire will gather a large army to deal with him, but the Ming Empire will really gather a large army to deal with him.

Moreover, not only did the Ming Empire gather a large army, but their old rival, the Ottoman Empire, also gathered a large army.

Just as he was paced back and forth in the coach's tent, a rapid sound of horse hooves was heard outside the tent. Soon a scout appeared outside the coach's tent. The scout immediately turned over and got off the horse, ran into the coach's tent, and knelt on one knee and gasped: "Report, Lord Sultan, two Ming army camps suddenly appeared outside the city of Kandahar."

Sultan's heart skipped a beat and asked, "No before?"

The scout replied: "Not yesterday."

Sultan asked in surprise: "How large is it?"

The scout replied: "The scale is too large, and it can't be seen at first sight, but the sun and moon dragon flags are erected in the camp, and the moon is full and the sun is short. It should be two third-class legions."

The third-class legion of the Ming Empire was stronger than the army under his command. Sultan was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.

Kandahar was originally stationed in a first-class legion of the Ming Empire, and now there are two third-class legiones. Isn’t this mean that the Ming army in Kandahar has reached a terrifying 300,000!

Now that the trouble is so great that I can be exempted from liaring about military information, but if the Ming army rushed over, it would be even more serious than liaring about military information.

Just as he was frightened, there was another sound of horse hooves outside the tent, but this time the sound of horse hooves became even more intense, obviously not just one or two riders.

Soon, a Sudur hurried in and bowed: "Master Sultan, Tabriz was besieged by the Ottoman army. Lord Taqi asked me to ask you, can you draw some of the troops here to support?"

This Sudur was a position in the Persian Safavi Empire, roughly equivalent to the eunuchs of the Ming Empire. They were not eunuchs, but they were also responsible for conveying the emperor's will.

Now that the old emperor Safi has passed away, the young emperor Abbas is unable to manage politics, and the military and political power is under the jurisdiction of Vizier, that is, Prime Minister Taqi. So Sudur is now sending a message to Prime Minister Taqi.

If Sudur had asked a few days earlier, Sultan really didn't know how to answer.

If you agree to the dispatch of troops to support easily, you may be suspected by Prime Minister Taqi. You guy said that the Ming Empire had assembled more than 200,000 troops to attack us. Now you can still draw troops to support us. Do you think our army is stronger than the Ming Empire's army?

If he does not agree to the dispatch of troops to support him, he is really afraid. If Tabriz is lost because of his lies, then Prime Minister Taqi will have to skin him.

Now he doesn't have to lie, because the Ming army gathered more than 200,000 troops in Kandahar, but 300,000.

He said in a complicated mood: "I can't mobilize troops to support Daburius now. According to the latest investigation, the Ming army gathered more than 300,000 troops in Kandahar. I also want Lord Taqi to mobilize troops to support me."

Upon hearing this, Nasuduer said in panic: "Master Sultan, what should I do? The Ottoman Empire gathered 200,000 troops to attack Tabriz this time. If there were no reinforcements, Tabriz would probably not be able to defend it!"

Upon hearing this, Sultan's legs became weak and he almost fell to the ground. Is the Ottoman Empire going crazy? It actually assembled 200,000 troops to attack Tabriz!

He still knows how many troops the Ottoman Empire can gather, and this is equivalent to attacking with all its might.

He was really guessing correctly. Suleiman did have some intentions to attack. After learning the intentions of the Ming Empire in detail, he immediately discovered that this was a good opportunity, an opportunity to show his military talents!

Although he is a Pasha, he has never led a war. He is indeed not very good when talking about military talent, but his ability to seize opportunities is super strong. How could he let such a great opportunity to perform?

Therefore, he directly used all his connections to urgently summoned 200,000 troops, and personally led his troops to attack Tabriz, an important western city in the Persian Safavi Empire.

When he arrived in Tabriz, he ignored nothing and ordered: Closing up and attacking fiercely!

His idea was very simple. Anyway, the 200,000 main forces of the Persian Savifal Empire were confronting the Ming army in Kandahar. They could not organize another 200,000 troops to Daburishi to support him. If Daburishi can be captured, it will be fine. As long as the Ming Empire sees its efforts, it will be fine.

Anyway, I won the victory this time. I was so active that I could definitely get a lot of benefits with His Majesty the emperor of the Ming Empire.

This inexplicable battle between the Persian Safavi Empire was a good opportunity to perform for Suleiman, but a disaster for Sultan.

Sultan hadn't realized at this time that it was because he was tempted by the Earl of Trafford and led his army to flirt with the tiger beard of the Ming Empire, which caused Emperor Chongzheng of the Ming Empire to be furious, which caused the crisis of the Persian Safavi Empire today.

This was entirely Richelius using their scattered troops from the Ming Empire. He was fooled like a clown and didn't know that he was fooled.

Originally, if the Persian Safavi Empire had honestly agreed to the Eurasian Railway built by the Ming Empire, they would not only have nothing to do, but also gain huge benefits from it.

Now, a good thing has become a farce by him. Both the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire have taken action. This farce will probably eventually turn into a tragedy, a tragedy of destroying the country!
