Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1088
“It’s incredible. I have never seen such a luxurious ship. How many swords and spears can this cast iron ship?”
Bohemia stroked the artillery on the armored ship, with unconcealed greed in his eyes, and his desire for wealth finally made Bohemia willing to take the risk on board the armored ship.
Tang Wenjie and everyone smiled silently. If it were more than ten years ago, they would have the same expression. At that time, steel was extremely precious, and no emperor would waste so much steel to build steel battleships wrapped in iron armor.
But now the empires thriving industrial capacity has made steel, a luxury resource, very cheap, and every citizen of the empire can afford a large number of ironware.
“This time we visited your country, a total of six warships came, and we still have several times as many warships in Nanyang.” Tang Wenjie explained.
Bohmi was secretly surprised when he heard this. For him, these six warships could not be built even with the steel of the whole country in Persia, and there were many such warships in the Eastern Empire.
Putting away the color of greed in his eyes, Bohemia stroked the metallic cannon on the battleship. “This cannon seems to be quite different from ours. I don’t know how powerful it is?”
His words are curiosity and a temptation, the purpose is to measure the power of these six warships.
Bohemia’s words are in the middle of Tang Wenjie’s plan. He said: “If you are interested, we can show you, but there is no target that can be bombarded, I am afraid I can’t let you see it.”
There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of the house Heng’s mouth. They had long seen that this Bohemia was not innocent, but before he knew their strength, Bohemia did not dare to be presumptuous.
“This is a short answer!” Bohemia was the governor of Abbas, holding military and political power. He gave a few instructions. A soldier got off the ship and walked to the pier. After a while, a large merchant ship stopped in the harbor. Sail out of the port.
“Is this target enough?” Bohemia said proudly, seeming to show his authority.
“Enough!” Tang Wenjie was satisfied, and at the same time he ordered the Captain of Zhenwei to prepare.
When the large Persian merchant ship arrived at the predetermined location, Tang Wenjie took Bohemia and his party to the center of the deck.
With an order, the huge roar of artillery rang out, and the Persian battleship that was stopped at a distance of 500 meters from the battleship was shrouded in flames, and the entire battleship was blown to pieces in the bombardment.
Bohemia was horrified, his knees softened, and he almost knelt on the ground. At this moment, his eyes changed completely.
Obviously, the artillery on these warships is extremely powerful, and unlike the shells of Persian artillery, these shells will explode.
Tang Wenjie was very satisfied with the effect of the shelling, and he patiently explained the artillery and ammunition on the battleship before Bohemia recovered.
“The messenger of the Great Eastern Empire, sincerely welcome you, and I will arrange this meeting as soon as possible.”
Bohemia put away his unrealistic thoughts at this moment. In his opinion, these six warships were enough to destroy all warships in Persia.
What’s more, the soldiers on the battleship are carrying muskets that seem to be powerful. If they want to attack Abbas, it is estimated that he will not be able to hold them.
“So, I would like to thank the Governor of Bohemia.” Tang Wenjie showed a tricky smile, and then he motioned to Jiaheng.
Knowing, the house Heng came over with a plate.
Glass beads, pocket watches, soaps, perfumes and dozens of industrial products are placed on this plate. If a good relationship with Persia can be established, the empire may be able to obtain a large market.
Bohemia’s eyes lit up, and everything on the plate seemed mysterious and noble. He received more gifts than Pamir’s.
This gave him a burst of ecstasy, and Tang Wenjie became more and more lovely in his eyes.
“You are the most generous friends I have ever met. If you don’t dislike it, you can go to Abbas to play, but you can rest assured that no one will hurt you.” Bohemia completely accepted Tang Wenjie and his party. After all, who will Can’t live with wealthy visitors.
Tang Wenjies goal has been achieved. He believes that Bohemias words are sincere. “We were really exhausted when we wandered at sea for six months, but we also have strict disciplines. We will let the soldiers go to Abbas to rest in batches. As for them We will pay for all food and drink.”
In doing so, he was unwilling to refute Bohemia’s face and at the same time ensure his own safety. If he went to Abbas and was wiped out, he would not have time to cry.
“Of course there is no problem.”
Bohemia said happily, and once more politely, he returned to the shore with the Persian soldiers.
Turning to Pamir, he confessed solemnly, “Use the fastest horse to go to Taixifeng, and tell the king about everything here. This Eastern Empire is very important to Persia.”
Pamir nodded and bowed to Bohemia. He ran all the way to the stable ~~ to get so many gems from the Eastern Empire, he was very motivated to do things.
Watching Pamir leave, Bohemia’s mind became alive. For him, the arrival of the Eastern Empire was an opportunity for him and his family.
Only from the gifts they gave, he could see the endless wealth beckoning in the future, this time he must promote the establishment of friendship between the two sides.
…
Tai Xifeng.
King Gambez III and the Great Wazir Althazi are having a headache when the French envoy appears in Istanbul.
“The French messenger arrived in Istanbul. This is really a strange thing. What did they talk about.” Gambez asked.
The war between Persia and the Ottoman Empire has never stopped for two hundred years, and the two sides often clash. In this case, France appears in the capital of the enemy, and he naturally feels nervous.
“According to our eyeliner, we say that France wants to cooperate with the Ottoman Empire to counter the threat from the Eastern Empire, and at the expense of Crimea and the Greek Peninsula, they will sign a treaty in Greece in a short time. Everyone in the aristocratic circle of Istanbul is well-known, and it is said that Saliman is also preparing to ask the West to give some Ottoman firearms as a price for them to choose to stand on the side of the West.” Althasi said every word.
Years of war have allowed both countries to have their own eyes in ambush in each other’s country, so they can learn some public information in time.
“This is really bad news.” Gambis frowned deeply. Without the restraint of the Western nations, Ottoman would be even more rampant. This is definitely a disaster for Persia.
But what made him feel helpless was that he was powerless with the current situation.
Only half a month later, his worries were washed away by news from Abbas, which is exactly the news that Pamir brought.
