Before the peace talks began, Kandahar hosted a grand ceremony. Zheng Zhilong recruited a group of third-rank officials from several nearby provinces, and recruited more than half of the fourth-rank and above generals from the three legions stationed in Kandahar. He gathered dozens of people to hold a grand medal ceremony for Sueman.

The moment Zheng Zhilong pinned the golden dragon's epaulette on his shoulder with his own hands, Su Yiman felt as if he had integrated into the Ming Empire.

Of course, this was just an illusion. Immediately afterwards, Zheng Zhilong invited him to discuss the issue of cede land distribution in the Persian Safavi Empire.

The border from Kandahar to the Ottoman Empire is nearly 5,000 miles. In other words, the Persian Safavi Empire had to ced at least tens of thousands of square kilometers of land in order to fully control the Eurasian Railway in the hands of the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire.

In such a long and narrow area, the Ming Dynasty naturally did not want to send troops entirely to garrison on its own side, so the decree given by Zhu Cijiong was to at least half of the Ottoman Empire!

The Ming Empire naturally doesn't take these tens of thousands of square kilometers of land seriously, because the territory of the Ming Empire is too vast now, and this little land is just a drop in the bucket.

But the Ottoman Empire was different. Since the death of their legendary emperor Suleiman I, the Ottoman Empire's external expansion gradually stagnated in the next hundred years and made almost no big progress.

If he could obtain tens of thousands of square kilometers, then Sueman would be the greatest contributor to the empire in decades. Glory and power are not at your fingertips.

Although he now grasped the power of the empire with the sole favor of Ibrahim I, he was actually just a Pasha, not a Great Vizier. If he had made the contribution of expanding territory, he would have the confidence to win the throne of Great Vizier.

Therefore, he was simply drooling at the land ceded by the Persian Safavi Empire. If possible, he even wanted to take all the land between Kandahar and the Ottoman Empire.

Of course, this is unlikely, because the Ottoman Empire had very limited troops and there was no sufficient force to station in such a narrow and long area.

Finally, the two agreed that the narrow area of ​​more than 2,000 miles from Kandahar to the Aral Sea belongs to the Ming Empire, and the narrow area of ​​more than 3,000 miles from the Aral Sea to the border of the Ottoman Empire belongs to the Ottoman Empire.

By the way, the land has not been obtained yet, and the two of them are so happy. Will the Persian Safavi Empire agree?

Zheng Zhilong was not worried that the Persian Safavi Empire would disagree because he had too many trump cards in his hand.

A few days later, Vizier Tachi of the Persian Safavi Empire finally arrived at Fara City. Zheng Zhilong received the news and led a group of negotiators to the Ming army camp outside Fara City. He rested for a night and notified the Persian delegation to come for negotiations early the next morning.

Taqi was nervous along the way, because the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire had too much advantage. He believed that if the Ming Empire did not count casualties, it would definitely destroy the Persian Safavi Empire!

He had already made plans to pass through the Eurasian Railway built by the Ming Empire. As for Britain and the Netherlands, if they offend, they would offend it. The Persian Empire was beaten like this, and they did not see them lend a helping hand. Such an allies were really heartbreaking.

In fact, he was wrongly accusing Britain and the Netherlands. After receiving the request for help from the Persian Empire, the two countries also considered the issue of support. However, the Ottoman Empire was shining in the middle by land and the sea was strangled by the Habsburg Alliance of the Ming Dynasty. Unless they circled a circle and walked around the Cape of Good Hope, but in that case, the cost would be too high and it would take too long. When the support troops rushed over, the Persian Empire would be over!

Therefore, after soliciting Richelieu's opinions, both countries chose to remain silent.

Taqi came to the Ming army camp with a nervous mood, and was facing a cannon array composed of more than a thousand artillery guns. The first row alone, both the caliber and length, were much larger than the artillery of the Persian Empire. The more you went back, the bigger the artillery, and Taqi was so frightened that he saw it.

No wonder Sultan was so unconfident that these cannons alone were not something he could withstand.

Next were rows of cavalry and infantry, the uniforms, equipment, formations, and spirit, which were simply daunting.

At this time, Taqi had completely lost confidence. Being an enemy of such a powerful empire is simply seeking death!

Zheng Zhilong set up these situations to make the Persian negotiating delegation afraid. As long as they are afraid, the negotiations will be much simpler.

Sure enough, when Taqi walked into the negotiation tent, his face was obviously a little pale, and it seemed that the effect was pretty good.

Zheng Zhilong did not go to greet him in person. After Taqi came in, he just politely led Su Yiman and others to stand up and let the translator introduce them one by one.

The first introduction is naturally him, Zheng Zhilong, the Governor of Nanyang, the Ming Empire.

Taqi's heart was stuttering after hearing the translation's introduction. His Highness, Zhennan, of course, had heard that the area he was in charge was even larger than the entire Persian Empire. Moreover, this guy was born as a pirate and could not afford to offend him!

When the translation was introduced to the second one, his eyes were almost glaring out. It turned out to be Sueman Pasha. How did this actual ruler of the Ottoman Empire wear the military uniform of the Ming Empire? What the hell is this?

Next were Hou Shilu, Qin Yiming and Yang Zhong. These three were all leading generals, so there was nothing to say.

On the side of the Persian Safavi Empire was Vizier Tachi, Minister of Military Affairs Sultan, Minister of Finance and two leading generals.

After the introduction was completed, the two sides sat on both sides of the negotiating table, Zheng Zhilong said coldly: "On behalf of the Ming Empire, I strongly condemn your country's invasion of Kandahar, please make an official apology for this matter, and compensate for the casualties and military losses of soldiers of the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire!"

When Taqi heard the translation's explanation, he couldn't help but retort: ​​"His Royal Highness Zhennan, our Persian Safavi Empire did not invade Kandahar, we are just defense."

Zheng Zhilong said coldly: "Defense? Is it necessary to lead an army of 200,000 to reach within a hundred miles of Kandahar City? If our Ming Empire hadn't sent troops to reinforce in time, would you have changed from defense to attack?"

Taqi was speechless, why is this man so shameless!

He only thought Zheng Zhilong was really unreasonable, but he didn't know that it was their provocation that caused the Ming Empire to increase its troops in South Asia.

Sultan, the only negotiator in the Persian Empire who knew the truth, was already scared and sweating. If both sides continue to argue about this issue, he will definitely be done!

He thought quickly, then interrupted, "His Royal Highness Zhennan, no matter what, it is a fact that we did not attack Kandahar. Moreover, now your Ming army has been in deep into our Persian Empire for hundreds of miles, and the Ottoman Empire's army has also besieged our old capital, Tabriz for more than ten days. These are not our Persian Empire's fault, right?"
