Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 700
The train advances along the oasis of the internal river, passes through the Kopet Mountains ahead, and will enter Persia.The Kopet Mountains are the natural dividing line between Daming and Safi Persia, separated by the watershed of the mountains, separating the two countries.

The Ming people who were keen on building railways didn't care about going through a large desert. In fact, the Ming people had tried to build railways in the desert in Gansu, Monan, Beiting, and even western North America.Although sand control requires a lot of cost, it is also a kind of protection for the fragile ecological environment.

Duan Muwen looked at the long military column passing by, and said with emotion: "Sometimes I still marvel at the strength of my Ming Dynasty's national power and organizational power. Your Majesty has just made the decision to march to Persia, and there are a lot of supplies. After transporting to the border, more than half of the Uzbek brigade has been mobilized and is ready to cross the border."

The young man in charge of commanding military operations, Mitsugui, doesn't look like a soldier, but looks like a businessman, with a very friendly appearance.

"Most of the materials are stored in Moxi Province. Oh, it will be called Beiting Province soon. Our Ming army has designed a very mature and reliable strategic material storage and logistics plan and system. Once something happens, it will be very short. It will be dispatched in time."

Lai Jingui chuckled: "Speaking of which, the Turkmen red-headed tribes are also interesting. When we built this railway from Yuzi to Persia, they opposed it in every possible way. Now there is a war, and the railway has begun to transport troops to them. We are transporting supplies, but they haven’t destroyed the railway yet.”

Duan Muwen is very clear: "Because these generally illiterate Turkmen people don't understand how important the railway is. Now they don't even know much about the wars in Europe, and they can't properly compare who between the Ming and Qing Dynasties." Who is strong and who is weak. Our businessmen told them that Ming occupies most of the land in the world, and basically except for a limited area, it is owned by Ming. The Turkmen people think we are bragging. It seems that the word Ming is in their mouths. A name for big talk."

"Sadly," Lai Jingui continued to smile with his hands behind his back, "Short knowledge and poor imagination are destined to be the beginning of their demise."

Perhaps due to the blocking of the mountains, the red-headed tribe did not take targeted precautions against Daming in the north.Moreover, the railway that has been built is of little use except for the occasional train that pulls goods into Persia.For border guards, they did not do a strict job.

It wasn't until this day that a large number of Uzbek cavalry came along the mountain path that the red-headed tribes realized that the disaster was imminent.

Uzbek cavalry armed with submachine guns or short-barreled carbines, galloped on horses, and fired at the Turkmen warriors here.The Turkmen couldn't resist at all and fled for their lives one after another.

When the Persian army reacted, the Uzbek brigade had penetrated about 60 kilometers, established multiple strongholds along the way, and wiped out two Turkmen tribes.

The Uzbeks' hatred for this group of red-headed Turkmen is not shallow. They have been plundering across the border for many years and killed many Uzbeks.The Uzbek soldiers arrested a group of people and interrogated them to find out whether they were related to the previous looting. Of course, whether there was a direct connection or not, these angry Uzbek soldiers would basically shoot the Turkmen.

More troops entered Persia, and the Persian army had lost too much fighting power under Suleiman I.Although the red-headed Turkmen are very brave, they lack too many advanced weapons after all. Many Turkmen soldiers use bolt-action rifles while keeping knives on their camel saddles.

On the Iranian plateau, the Ming army defeated the Persian army like an adult beating a child. The leader of the Turkmen, Mustafa, finally recognized the situation and hoped to join the Ming Dynasty, and left several military intelligence bureaus in Persia. Personnel are also sold out, hoping to keep their status.

But Daming has already taken action, without leaving anything behind, and directly sent troops to suppress. Most of the Persian army surrendered, because their Shah Suleiman I was put under house arrest by the Turkmen, and he is probably dead now. up.But the Turkmens are much more miserable, they can only run around in panic all day long, hiding in the desert, hiding in the mountains, not daring to come out.

The Ming army finally captured the Persian capital Isfahan with only more than 1000 people. Even when Isfahan fell, the local residents took to the streets to cheer.

Over the years, neither Suleiman I, who did not care about politics, nor the Turkmen redheads who were newly in power, have no interest in taking ordinary people seriously.And Daming's reputation in Persia is quite good. When he sailed around the world, Doctor Daming stayed in Persia to teach medical skills and spread advanced knowledge and ideas, which influenced many Persians.

Even though Ming was an outsider, many Persians admired Ming's culture, admiration for its affluence and advancement, and they dismissed the Turkmen redheads known for their military groups.The Turkmen were easily defeated, and it is not surprising that the Persians were happy with the arrival of the Ming.

The 206th Division of the Ming Regular Army, which came from the Caucasus, also formally took over the defense of Isfahan. The Zhongxia Fan Army was responsible for clearing and suppressing the fleeing rebels, and was preparing to gradually withdraw from Persia after that.

According to the old formula, after Duanmuwen came to Persia, he planned to help the locals form a "progressive" and "just" puppet army, and then it was estimated that it would become the Persian army.No matter in any Xuanwei Division, the forces of the vassal army are iron-clad vested interests, and they are the cornerstone of maintaining Daming's local existence.

This conspiracy, secretly provoked by the Western Qing Dynasty, with the Turkmen as the protagonists planning to attack the Caucasus region of the Ming Dynasty on both sides, was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty before the embryo was conceived.By the way, Ming also occupied Safi Persia, the last independent country in Asia.

Although it has not been announced for a while, everyone knows that Ming Dynasty will eventually announce the establishment of the Persian Xuanwei Division.

Bai Mingxiu also found that although he didn't think about saying that Da Ming occupied every inch of land in the world, the actual evolution was always unexpected.

Yang Buzheng, his royal advisor, joked: "A country as large and powerful as our Ming Empire has spread its influence to every corner of the planet. There is no reason to leave a few so-called independent countries. Why not?" Simply and thoroughly integrate all the regions under the ruling order of Ming Dynasty, at most there are several different names, such as Xuanweisi, Xuanfusi, and provinces, but the names are different."

Bai Mingxiu didn't care too much about these things: "First defeat the Tartars completely, and then talk about these things."
