Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1089
“The mission of the Eastern Empire is in Abbas?”
Gambis showed a shocked look. He has been awake all night for this period of time. The worry is Osman’s business. He did not expect that now he suddenly won this opportunity.
Althashi said: “The Ottomans and the Western countries are mostly related by marriage. They will definitely trust the West to trust the Eastern Empire too much. Even if Saliman insists on his own opinions, other nobles will obstruct, and this will be our opportunity.”
Gambis deeply believes that he still hasn’t adapted to it. When did this world become the arena of the Eastern Empire and the European countries, and where did this place the Central Asian countries?
It’s just that Arthas collected some information from Persian merchants two days ago, and they were shocked by the strength of the Eastern Empire.
Now Pamirs eloquent steel battleship proves that the merchant did not lie.
“In order not to lose in the war with the Ottoman Empire, we should strive for the support of the Eastern Empire, Arthashi, tomorrow we will set off for Abbas, I want to see the steel battleships of the Eastern Empire with my own eyes.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Arthaci said with a bow.
The next day, Gambez and Arthas officially set off. Fifteen days later, the mighty court team arrived at Abbas.
Tang Wenjie, who had lived on the Zhenwei for a month, was overjoyed when he learned that the King of Persia had arrived in Abbas himself.
The Persian king is intimate enough to show that Persia attaches great importance to the empire, so he is very confident in this negotiation.
“Ziheng, get ready, let’s meet the King of Persia together.” Tang Wenjie said. After the King of Persia came to Abbas, they were given an order to meet him.
In response, the house Heng counted the gifts presented to the King of Persia, and only then got off the battleship with Tang Wenjie and entered the city of Abbas under the guidance of Bohemia.
At this time, Gambis and Arthas were already waiting in the governors mansion. They crossed the heavily guarded road and soon saw the King of Persia.
“Your Majesty the King, we are envoys from the Chinese Empire. The purpose of this trip is to establish a good relationship with Persia.”
After , Tang Wenjie turned sideways, and behind him were wooden boxes. Under his instruction, these boxes were opened one by one.
Tang Wenjie said: “This is a gift that our Emperor Xiao Ming personally selected for His Majesty the King. I hope His Majesty will accept it. It’s just a small gift!”
When the box was opened, the entire provincial governor’s house seemed to light up, and the Persian nobles standing on both sides of the room took a deep breath, and the heart seemed to be pinched.
Gambis admitted that he had seen countless gems and gold, but he couldn’t keep calm after seeing the contents of the box.
He looked at Tang Wenjie with a calm face, and exclaimed in his heart: Is this a small gift?
After Althashi was shocked, he quickly returned to normal. He touched Gambius’ arm to prevent Gambius from making a fool of himself in front of the messenger of the Eastern Empire. This was his responsibility.
“Please take my sincerest greetings to your Emperor on behalf of me, welcome to Persia, you will have our friendship.” Gambis smiled.
His gaze swept over the dazzling gem-like gifts, then looked at other strange but extremely noble items and asked: “The Persian merchants said that the Eastern Empire is a magical country. Is there any need to eat in this country? Grass, but steel monsters tens of thousands of times more than camels to transport things, there are many strange but very practical goods, right?”
“This businessman did not lie.”
Tang Wenjie took out a beautifully shaped glass mirror from the box and faced Gambius, “This is a glass mirror. I can guarantee that no country in the world has a glass mirror that is as clear as ours.”
Gambis saw himself clearly through the mirror held by Tang Wenjie, which surprised him with a small snack. He had never seen himself so clearly.
Putting down the mirror, Tang Wenjie asked people to lift the pendulum clock out of the box. The numbers on the pendulum clock were all Arabic numerals.
smiled slightly, he said: “In our country, this is called a pendulum clock. Through the pendulum clock, we divide the day into 24 hours. The number on the pendulum is the current time.”
Gambis naturally recognized the Arabic numerals above, and he once again marveled at the capabilities of the Eastern Empire.
Next, Tang Wenjie gave a detailed introduction to the gifts they brought, letting Gambis understand the usage of these industrial products.
After Tang Wenjie’s introduction, the Persian nobles on both sides are even more unsure. In their opinion, even one of these things is invaluable in Persia. The gifts from the Eastern Empire are enough to buy ten Abbass.
Gambis is envious of these luxury goods, but there is still a trace of sobriety in his mind, because he always thinks that no amount of wealth is vain without the protection of swords.
After expressing his gratitude to Tang Wenjie again, he said: “I believe that your visit this time is not just to present me with gifts. It is said that the West is easing relations in Ottoman, and they will soon sign a treaty in Greece. , This treaty seems to be against you.”
Tang Wenjie’s heart sank. He didn’t expect the West to take action so quickly, and his face remained calm. He said calmly: “Your Majesty the King has misunderstood. To the empire, the European nations are just a bunch of clowns, not worthy of a fight. The real purpose of coming to Persia is to establish good relations with Persia and to establish business relations. At the same time, we hope that His Majesty the King will allow us to mine black oil in Persia ~~black oil. “Gambis frowned. This black oil in Persia is a household name, and people in some areas often find this black oil when digging wells.
And this kind of black oil is used in many ways in Persia. The roads of Taixi Seal are laid with this kind of black oil. In addition, black oil is also used in construction, healing, lighting and warfare.
There is a projectile weapon on the ship of the Persian Navy, and what this weapon throws is ignited black oil.
“Is this all you want?” Gambis was a little surprised. He thought that the Eastern Empire would instigate them against the Ottomans and European nations.
“Yes, this is the purpose of our coming here. We are willing to use the industrial products of the empire in exchange for black oil, buy land to build oil mines, and hope that His Majesty can agree.”
“Hahaha…” Gambis suddenly laughed, “The Eastern Empire is indeed an interesting country. This kind of black oil is everywhere in my country. I can sell it to you, but you must tell me why you need black oil. .”)!!
