Chapter 1629: Open up Persian routes

The Turks retreated in a hurry, but the Persian side could not be happy either. After all, the Persians also suffered heavy losses because of the strong walls and clear fields.

In order not to make the Turks happy, the Persians took away any edible food and animals in the direction of the Turkish army, and destroyed or killed those who could not take it.

Was easy to destroy at the time, but afterwards, it would be a big loss! Moreover, the Turks did nothing when they left, they demolished the palace of Tabriz ...

The royal palace of Tabriz, but Ismaili I called a lot of skilled craftsmen to build, the construction cost is very high. The Turks directly and violently demolished the palace, causing Persian losses. Because it is very expensive to rebuild the palace.

Therefore, the Turks did not benefit much from this war, but the Persians also suffered a lot. In order not to leave good things to the Turks, the Persians demolished a dozen cities themselves!

Fortunately, the cities in this era were not large in size, and the infrastructure was very simple. Otherwise, the loss of each city alone is tens of billions.

This is the case with Rao. The Persians also lost hundreds of thousands of gold worth of property this time and starved many people to death. These people were all starved to death after they were forced to clear the fields.

Of course, in this era, not many people will care about the life and death of a few civilians. Therefore, these unlucky civilians starved to death, and no one avenged them. Moreover, how to blame? The order to confiscate food was ordered by the Persian monarch Ismail I ...

And this defeat also reminded Ismayi I, who was extremely confident in the past, to be awake and he was not the best ...

Therefore, under the pressure of powerful Turkey, Ismaili thought for the first time of working with people to fight against a stronger Turkey.

Is different from the original history, Ismaili I did not lose the loyal minister who invaded his uncle and brother in this war. Moreover, Selim I did not capture two wives. Therefore, Ismaili I of this time and space did not collapse, but planned to compete with the Turks.

Then, Ismaili thought of trading with Europeans. In particular, import artillery and muskets used by the Turks from Europe!

This time, although only one game was played frontally, Ismayi I also saw the great power of the guns. Therefore, he desperately hoped that he would possess such a powerful weapon to fight against the Turks.

Therefore, the Ismaili sent notice to the Portuguese who occupied the Strait of Hormuz and agreed to conduct large-scale trade with the Portuguese.

At the same time, Ismail I also called Bud, a spy from Beihai, expressing his willingness to trade with Beihai, hoping to import guns from Beihai.

Bud naturally agreed, and also used the pigeons to send the news back to the North Sea country.

After receiving the news, Marin decided to immediately form a fleet and prepare to open the Persian route. In addition to supporting Persian artillery and muskets, Marin is also very interested in some Persian commodities.

According to information from Bard, the Persian Safavid Empire is rich in products, and the more famous ones are Persian carpets, silk and textiles!

Yes, Persia also has silk. After all, Persia has a close relationship with China Trade since ancient times. Before the Persian occupation of Persia, the Persian Empire had very close trade relations with the Tang Empire.

However, during the Song Dynasty, the Green Religion occupied the Western Region and destroyed the local Buddhist temple. The Persian and Huaxia Silk Roads were also broken. The Western Region under the control of the Green Religion is not as gentle as the Western Region during the Buddhist period. Moreover, it is not as pro-Central China as the Western Regions under Buddhist culture. Therefore, after the Green Religion occupied the Western Region, the Land Silk Road was officially abandoned. The Western Region, once the prosperous Silk Road, became a land of poverty and barbarism. The ancient civilization like Loulan was also abandoned.

After, the trade between Persia and the Central Plains could only pass through Arab merchants at sea. But before the trade, Persian merchants brought back the heavy and mulberry seedlings, and also developed the silk industry in Persia. Although it is not as professional as the Huaxia region, the technology is barely comparable to that of European silk. In the case of shortage of Chinese silk, Persian silk is also very popular.

In addition, Persia also exports horses, wool, pearls and almonds that Indians like to use as condiments. Persians like to import commodities such as coins (Persia lacks metals and precious metals), textiles, spices, metals, coffee and sugar.

Marin had seen in the history book that after the Dutch colonized Taiwan, they planted sugar cane to squeeze sugar. In addition to selling sucrose to Japan, Persia is also an important sucrose market.

Of course, the Netherlands has not yet risen. Moreover, Malin deliberately skewed his talents and made it a furniture production center. At present, it is the Portuguese who occupy the Strait of Hormuz.

The Portuguese have no talent for farming. They are purely commercial colonists and have no talent for farming ...

……

Marin is actually not interested in carpets, silk, wool and pearls produced in Persia. He was really interested in the Persian horses. After all, Persia was once part of the Arab Empire ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The local horses are of mixed blood of Arabian horses and belong to excellent war horses. Moreover, even if it is not mixed with Arabian horses, Bosma itself is very good.

Moreover, as a country where nomads dominate, local horses do not need to feed too much food. This is much better than the European food horse breeds. At least, very cost-effective!

Therefore, Marin intends to use artillery to exchange war horses in Persia. Even if it is not a war horse, you can pull it. In short, as long as the quality is acceptable, then grazing-based horses, Marin should be.

In addition, Marin also needs another hidden commodity oil from Persia!

Marin does not want oil in the Persian Gulf region. In recent years, oil in the Persian Gulf has not yet appeared. It is only Baku in Azerbaijan that started producing oil in this era.

Now that the Azerbaijani region is still under the rule of the Persian Safavid Empire, Marin has to trade with the Persian Safavid Empire in order to obtain oil from Baku.

It is said that the local oil production in Baku is currently capable of loading hundreds of ships per year. Marin intends to use the opportunities of trade with Persia to import oil from Persia. Then, refine gasoline to make powerful incendiary bombs, specifically used against enemy cities and warships.

Therefore, whether for war horses or oil, Marin has a reason to open Persian routes. However, in the past, Ismail I was so high that he looked down upon Europe. Now I am at a loss, knowing that I have to join forces with Europe to open the market to Europeans. In the past, even if Marin wanted to open a Persian route, the proud Ismaili I might not have allowed it ...
