Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 927 This operation must be liked
When it comes to dealing with other indigenous people, they are not afraid of too much disparity in strength.However, the firearms of the Ming army were still elite. They had seen them and knew they were similar to them.At this time, even if they wanted to gain benefits from Persia, they would not dare to joke with their own lives.

Not to mention, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was said to be invincible.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Abbas II suddenly said: "If I move my capital to Gomblon, can you protect my safety?"

Kamblon is the capital of Hormozgan Province in later generations.Located on the north shore of the Gulf of Hormuz, at the exit of the Persian Gulf, it is an important port on the Persian Gulf side.But at this time, it was still a fishing village, built by Abbas I.

Because of the butterfly effect, Gomblon docked at the Dutch and British fleets, so it has gradually become prosperous over the years, and it is no longer just a fishing village.

As soon as Abbas II said this, all the civil and military officials below were stunned.They didn't expect that their emperor was thinking of moving the capital.

However, they thought about the current situation in the country. They had just suppressed the rebellion and massacred an unknown number of people.In addition to the fact that so many elite troops died at the hands of the Ming army in the previous two times, the Ming army could not resist this time.

Thinking of this, they felt relieved.

In fact, the Safi dynasty first established its capital in Tabriz. Later, in 1548, it could not defeat the Ottoman Empire, and Tabriz was more likely to be attacked by the Ottomans, so the capital was moved to Qazvin, which is safer. .Later, it still didn't work, and was threatened by other rebel tribes and Ottomans, and then moved the capital to Isfahan today.

Isfahan is located in the valley of Zagros Mountain and Kuhru Mountain, on the banks of the Zaindai River, in the central part of the Persian Empire, and the capital has not been moved.

But now that they have encountered a large-scale attack by the Ming army, they will definitely come from the east. This place is no longer safe, and it seems to be a common practice to move the capital again.

The British and Dutch envoys did not expect Abbas II to say this, and were stunned for a moment.After Abbas II anxiously pressed him again, they came to their senses, were immediately overjoyed, and immediately expressed their stance.

"Your majesty, your idea is great!"

"Yes, the capital has been moved to Gomblon, and our combined fleet will definitely guarantee your safety."

"We have just increased the number of fleets. We are invincible at sea to ensure that we will not be attacked by the Ming fleet. On land, if the Ming army dares to attack, we can also send more troops to help His Majesty resist."

"That's right, the cannons on our battleship can also be sent ashore to help His Majesty defend against the Ming army, that's absolutely no problem!"

"..."

For the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, the idea of ​​Abbas II is so popular with them!

Because the original Isfahan and the Persian Gulf were blocked by the Zagros Mountains along the coastline, they could not reach Isfahan nearby.It can only be reached by following the trend of the Zagros Mountains, which requires walking a thousand miles, which is very inconvenient.

But now, if the Persian capital can be moved to Kamblon by the sea, it can fall under their control.As long as the Ming army is defeated, Persia will be completely reduced to their colony!

Therefore, it was no wonder they were unhappy, and immediately tried their best to persuade them.

Abbas II actually knew this.However, the two powers are lesser in comparison.Compared with the Dutch and British, the Ming army frightened him more. They wanted to destroy him, and he couldn't resist it, so there was nothing he could do.

Moving the capital to Gomblon has another advantage, that is, it is easy to cause disasters, and let the Ming army attack the Ottoman Empire first.He had time to re-accumulate his strength, recapture the Persian Empire, and copied the Ming army's retreat.

Because from Isfahan to Gomblon is a road along the Zagros Mountains. On the other side, there are also mountains. It is not easy for the Ming army to come. The best way is to follow the Zagros Mountains. Just go southeast.

As a result, the Ming army would have to travel thousands of miles, and would be further away from the Ottoman Empire and other prosperous cities in Persia.If he were the Ming Emperor, he would never come after him first.

Isn't it delicious to eat fatty meat? Why do you have to come here to chew on his hard bone!

Of course, if you move to the sea, you will be more vulnerable to attacks from the sea.However, judging from the current situation, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty invaded from Kandahar, led by cavalry, and traveled by land.Therefore, the sea side is relatively safer.

Besides, with the fleets of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty was so overwhelming that they dared not fight.Now that the number of battleships has doubled, it will be even safer.

He was thinking about it when he heard the British envoy suddenly say again: "Your Majesty, even if the Ming army reaches Gomblon, even if their strength is really very large, and they want to harm Your Majesty regardless of casualties, just in case, I mean in case If you can't resist, His Majesty can retreat to our battleship, then it will be absolutely safe!"

"Yes, yes, this is a very safe escape route. Although it is impossible to use, it is also a guarantee!" The Dutch envoy immediately expressed his opinion after hearing this.

At the same time, he still thought in his heart that he must go back and report to the fleet commander Anthony. It is best to arrange a warship to overwhelm the British and satisfy Abbas II. Under the control of the Netherlands, there is no need to bargain with the British, how good it is!

After hearing this, Abbas II felt safer in his heart. He nodded immediately, stopped talking, and immediately announced that he was ready to move the capital.Once the Ming army really had to attack, he would officially move the capital.

In the subsequent dynasties of the Persian Empire, some emperors were beaten until they could no longer stay, and some fled to other countries.If Abbas II is in a hurry, although he is unwilling to go to other countries, it is better than losing his life, so of course he will escape.

………………

Their discussion was passed on to Emperor Chongzhen through the Class A bugging seed on Abbas II, which made him unable to recover for a while.For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Because Emperor Chongzhen’s previous decision was to attack by land and sea.This section of the sea is still the focus of the attack.Not only did they mobilize all the warships that could be mobilized in the surrounding area, they also transported army troops there by sea.Including the large amounts of grain and fodder needed later, they were also transported by sea.

However, the Persian Empire is quite special. Along the coastline of the Persian Gulf, there is a Zagros Mountains. In this series of mountains, many high mountains are covered with snow all the year round.It is unrealistic to land from the nearest seaside and directly attack Isfahan, the capital of the Persian Empire.

Therefore, in the original plan, Emperor Chongzhen had the navy land at Gombrun, and then fight towards Isfahan along the eastern valley of the Zagros Mountains.

Now, Abbas II's magical operation can save the Ming army trouble and effort, and change the battlefield to the seaside.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but said to himself: "You are really a smart person. You are so considerate of Daming. I am too embarrassed to kill you. Shall I let you go again?"

But this is just a thought after all. It is useless for Abbas II to conquer Persia and destroy the Safavid dynasty.If you can't kill him, why waste rations?
Moreover, Ming Dynasty wanted to set up a territory directly under its jurisdiction in Persia, which happened to be able to use the head of Abbas II to win the hearts of the people.Therefore, Abbas II is dead this time.

As for the so-called British and Dutch fleets, that is a joke.They have dispatched additional fleets, isn’t it possible that the Ming Dynasty doesn’t have one?The number of turns will scare you to death.What's more, there are steam iron-clad battleships, improved battleships, etc.

Hehe, Abbas II's operation must be praised.If you don't do it according to his ideas, it's too uninteresting!

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen immediately issued a decree and sent a messenger to the Ming Dynasty fleet in Bombay, informing them of the situation and asking them to block both the Dutch and British fleets in the Strait of Hormuz and not let them escape.

And he himself, as Abbas II thought, continued to march on land with great fanfare.After arriving in Kandahar, he joined Wu Sangui's troops and began to attack the Persian Empire.It does not require the cavalry to rush forward, but to fight steadily.

Every time a place was conquered, the old vested interests must be uprooted, the people should be put in place, officials should be installed, and people's livelihood should be stabilized before continuing to move westward.

After crossing the border, the troops were divided up. Except for the areas in the north where the climate is still severe and difficult to go, they almost pushed westward in a horizontal line.

The eastern region of the Persian Empire was once ravaged by Li Dingguo's troops, and then it was given another round by Abbas II.This time, Emperor Chongzhen personally led the army, and it took almost no effort to occupy the eastern part of the Persian Empire, which was almost in ruins.

In this way, the force of the Ming army, which was pushed horizontally, was even greater.Anyone who reads it knows that the Ming army will not stop until it destroys the Persian Empire this time.

As a result, many nobles who were on the way of the Ming army's advance chose to flee in the face of the powerful Ming army's offensive.At least they run away at this time, taking as much wealth as possible.Otherwise, when the Ming army came to fight, not only the wealth would be gone, but also the life would be gone. This is the most tragic thing!
Just like that, the Persian aristocrats and powerful men who fled to the west not only brought the news of the Ming army's attack to the west, but also spread the news that the Ming army had tens of thousands more horses out of thin air, and the momentum became even bigger.

Hearing this news, Abbas II did not hesitate and immediately decreed to move the capital.

All the civil and military officials under him now submit to him, or are forced to submit to his despotic power.Among them, those generals who held military power were those who escaped from the Ming army with him, so they could better appreciate the power of the Ming army.

Therefore, there was basically no resistance to his intention to move the capital.In this way, the third capital relocation that did not exist in the history of the Safavid Dynasty began.
