Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1087

“Because Persia and Ottoman want to weigh the cost of offending us, our diplomatic rhetoric may have to be both soft and hard. If there is no trouble, there will be serious consequences. You must be psychologically prepared for this.”

Tang Wenjie still expressed his worry.

The house Heng said indifferently: “Gouli country lives and dies. How can we avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune? If there are not countless ancestors who have sprinkled their blood on the battlefield in these years, how can the empire today have such a huge territory, if it is afraid of death, What kind of a diplomat!”

Tang Wenjie showed a look of admiration, and he looked at the other team members, including those who were as firm as a house, and those who were worried.

He didn’t deliberately say anything, just nodded, and then said: “From Singapore to Persia, I am afraid that it will take five thousand kilometers of sea. It is estimated that we will float on the sea for ten and a half days. Take advantage of your free time to take the Persian Empire. Review the system.”

After all, he himself took out a booklet and read it. The current Persian Empire is actually a monarchy and a centralized country.

One of the institutions called Diwan is the mainstay of the central power. This Diwan is equivalent to the Privy Council of the former Da Yu State. The highest official of the Privy Council is called the Great Wazir, which is equivalent to the prime minister.

This Diwan is further divided into a detailed department, in charge of military, finance, household registration, official governance, religion, and diplomacy.

As the saying goes, knowing the enemy and knowing oneself can win every battle. It is about life, and he dare not make any negligence.

Twelve days later, the fleet finally arrived at the Persian port city of Abbas and saw six huge ironclad ships appearing in the port.

The Persians in the harbor were terrified. For them, they had never seen such a ship in their lives.

The commotion in the port soon attracted Persian troops in the city, and these Persian soldiers with swords occupied the port.

“This Persian is really backward, and still uses cold weapons.” Jia Heng said.

Tang Wenjie was observing with a telescope. He said, “This reminds me of the old country of Da Yu. At that time, the country of Da Yu was not enterprising and self-centered. Similarly, both Ottoman and Persia are in this way today. In the state, they refused to accept the changes in the world, and now they are gradually being left behind.”

The house nodded constantly, and then he said: “We should explain what we are coming for. You are now going to move the goods brought from the empire, and they are now available.”

Although the countries of the world are different, their human natures are generally similar, so the mission prepared a lot of industrial products to bribe some Persian businessmen to lead the way.

It would be even more perfect if you can meet Persian merchants who have been to the Chinese Empire.

He thought so. At this time, a small boat came from the port to the fleet, and a person similar to an officer was riding on the small boat.

When approaching, the Persian officer shouted nervously: “Who are you and where do you come from?”

The house Heng replied in Arabic at this time: “We are a mission from the Eastern Chinese Empire. We are here this time to meet your monarch.”

“There is a great Yu country in the east. I have never heard of the Chinese Empire.” The officer was a little surprised.

House Heng heard the words and had to explain the cause and effect. At this time, the Persian officer understood, but he was still very wary of Tang Wenjie and his party. After all, this warship full of artillery and armor was too terrifying.

Seeing the officer hesitated, Tang Wenjie took out a small cloth bag and threw it down, saying, “I hope you can tell me.”

The officer caught the cloth bag and opened it, and his eyes suddenly became big. Inside the cloth bag were ten crystal clear gems, very beautiful.

The two Persian soldiers on the boat also saw it, showing a light of wonder and greed.

“Okay, I will send someone to Taixifeng now, but it will take a month to go back and forth.” The officer said excitedly, and he was excited by the gem.

He had never seen such a beautiful gemstone before, and he believed that if he shot it, he could get a lot of money.

“We will always wait on the ship.” Tang Wenjie showed a helpless look. The Persian capital Taixifeng is inland, and this is the nearest port to Taixifeng.

The officer completely let go of his guard against Tang Wenjie and his party. He continued: “My name is Pamir and my uncle is the governor of the province. He lives in the city of Abbas. I think he will welcome you. .”

“Thank you, if possible, you can invite them to our boat to watch. We will treat you grandly. After all, a month is very long.” Tang Wenjie and Jia Heng looked at each other, with sly eyes flashing in their eyes, which is to show them the power of the empire. Opportunity.

Pamir was even more happy. He nodded repeatedly, put the gem in his arms, and went to the shore.

“A few glasses have achieved such an effect~~ The power of industry is really terrible.” Tang Wenjie laughed. What they gave Pamir was not gems at all, but ornamental glass beads produced by the Imperial Glass Factory.

There are colorful patterns in the transparent glass, which look like gems.

“Maybe we can buy oil fields in Persia with glass balls.” The house Heng smiled maliciously.

The reason why he is so confident is because no one in the world can produce such exquisite glass beads.

It is completely feasible to hold glass beads as gemstones elsewhere. In the future, the sale of glass beads will be prohibited to prevent Persian merchants from buying glass beads from the Empire.

Tang Wenjie was amused by Jia Heng’s words. He really had this idea. They had a large box of glass beads and glass art on the battleship, which were all prepared for this diplomatic operation.

If the negotiation is successful, they will also shoulder the responsibility of establishing a good relationship with Persian officials. In this way, as long as the oil field is successfully purchased, the oil problem will be solved.

Feeling lightened because of this trivial matter, the two stood chatting on the deck. Not long after, there was a commotion in the harbor.

The departed Pamir and a group of soldiers gathered around a bearded official in a white robe to the port.

Then the officer said something to Pamir, and then came to their battleship in a boat.

“Friends from the Eastern Empire welcome you. I am Bohmi, Governor of Abbas. A relative of my family has been to your country to purchase silk and tea. He knows you very well. Now I take He is here, and I hope we can get along happily.” Bohemia smiled.

The gems Pamir got shocked him. At this time, thinking of the wealth of the legendary Eastern Empire, his heart immediately itched. He has always welcomed wealthy visitors.
