Chapter 773 Kangxi’s invasion: no sense of security (please subscribe!)

Author: Linjiangjun

"What do you mean by Khan?"

Suo'etu looked at Kangxi strangely, and then asked.

"Does the Great Khan really intend to send troops to that Persian country? If so, he will not be able to charge the cost of sending troops. Moreover, the war will last for a long time, and it will not end in a while..."

Kangxi directly interrupted Suo'etu.

"Although the Safavid Persian state is not weak, the progress of the Qing Dynasty's conquest of that Persian state has not yet come!"

"Great Khan, you really want to fight Persia. Why?"

Suo'etu was already speechless at this time.

The Kangxi Khan had not said before that he wanted peace in Tianzhu, so why did he ask for war?

Why did Kangxi become a militant again? Why couldn't he live in peace for a while?

For example, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty finally reconciled, and they were able to live in peace for several years.

But Ru Ming, the Great Khan seemed to be swollen, and he actually dared to send Fuquan and Yinti to attack Junggar.

Forget it, he actually wanted to send troops to conquer the Persian country.

What's in that Persian state?

Persian beauty?

Please, if you don't send troops to fight, the Qing Dynasty can get quite a lot of Persian beauties.

Just when Suo'etu couldn't understand Kangxi's purpose, Kangxi sighed and explained to him.

"Of course I know that Saphi Persia is a poor country with not much oil and water. Even if we bring that poor country eastward, it will not be of much use. On the contrary, it will cost a lot of casualties, and it will not cost much.

Too little money..."

"Then, Great Khan, why don't you want to beat that Saphibos?"

Suo'etu was a little confused, and I knew it, too!

"Great Khan, wouldn't it be better to invest the money elsewhere?"

"Hmph! Then I am thinking about the future of the Qing Dynasty!"

Kangxi said, and he explained.

"Don't look at it now that the Qing Dynasty has stabilized its position in Tianzhu. Zhu Datou can not attack them for two years, he can not attack them for five years, but he can not attack them for ten years!"

"If I fight Persia, I will have enough buffer zone with Ming Dynasty!"

"The Qing Dynasty was constantly threatened by the Ming Dynasty and sought a wider territory so that it could feel safe, develop and survive."

It turns out that Kangxi's campaign against Persia was simply because he felt insecure.

"The great Khan is wise!"

In the autumn of 1693, the northeastern border of the Saphi Persian Empire.

There was a rumbling sound everywhere.

The Safavid Persian Empire was not an empire in the Middle East. It was an extremely powerful existence with a population of no more than 25 million. More than a hundred years ago, the Ottoman Empire was defeated steadily and had to cede land.

But since it passed its peak period, the Safavid Persian Empire fell into a royal foreign war that lasted for several years, and its national power gradually declined.

It's good that Abbas I and II turned the tide.

However, the death of Abbas II in 1666 marked the beginning of the decline of the Safavid dynasty.

In November 1666, Suleiman I ascended the throne as Safafi II. Because he was young at the time and grew up in the harem, he did not know the outside world.

He was also prone to drinking and was in poor health. In the first year of his reign, not only did an earthquake occur, but the Caspian Sea coast was also invaded by Cossacks.

Astrologers outside the court believed that the timing of the coronation ceremony was not good, and due to this good luck, Chen I was crowned on March 20, 1667.

Suleiman I had no interest in political affairs and preferred to stay in the harem. Government affairs fell to the prime minister and a council composed of harem eunuchs.

During the reign of Suleiman I, the power of eunuchs increased day by day, corruption became common, and armaments were slack.

Historically, he died next year in 1694 due to alcoholism.

It can be said that the best time for Kangxi to attack the Safavid-Persian Empire was when the Safavid-Persian Empire was in all-round decline.

Starting from the summer of 1693, Kangxi sent Prince Kang Jieshu to attack the Persian border every month.

Jie Shufu was born in 1645 and had never experienced the war of the Ming Dynasty.

That time, Jieshu also experienced the pleasure of entering a decadent country.

From time to time, he led tens of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry into the territory of Saphi Persia to plunder property, food and various supplies.

Saphibus was already severely weakened, but he could still manage to deploy 60,000 troops on the border for defense.

The 60,000-strong army of Hanzhi sought to defend a border that was thousands of miles long, and did not have the support of the Great Wall like the Ming Dynasty. It was extremely difficult to cope with the large number of raids and plunders.

In September 1693, Prince Kang Jieshu led 60,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry directly into the territory more than 200 miles outside the Persian Empire.

Jieshu gradually felt that under the harassment of the Qing cavalry, the resistance of the Persian army was getting weaker and weaker.

It won't be long before we can probably drive straight in.

"kill!"

The Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were galloping on their war horses, waving their gleaming steel swords.

Phew! Phew!

Many innocent people from the Persian Empire fell to the swords of the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, their heads rolled down, and their blood dyed the earth red.

This is the most common scene in the late Ming Dynasty.

Jieshu was so high-spirited that he led his Manchu and Mongolian cavalry into uninhabited territory and plundered all the property that could be plundered, including women and people.

He is much more enjoyable than those seniors like Huang Taiji and Dorgon.

First of all, he has more troops, but he doesn't use his full strength.

Secondly, Persia is weaker and has no room for resistance.

Thinking of that, Jieshu thought of his retreat from the Central Plains and his move to Tianzhu a few years ago.

The Ming Dynasty will not be the Ming Dynasty after all. Once the population of over 100 million rises again, it will be unstoppable.

In the Qing Dynasty, under the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus were still the most brave and capable warriors in the east of the world.

Did the cowardly Ming Dynasty rely on the powerful advantage of firearms to defeat them?

If it were not for the advantage of firearms, he believed that the Ming Dynasty would not be able to defeat their Manchu warriors.

As for the Mongolian cavalry?

It’s just to mess with the situation!

Looking at Persia, which is now known as the "Empire", doesn't it feel like entering an uninhabited land when they are full of people killing people outside the country?

The only regret is that Persia is obviously not as wealthy as Ming Dynasty and Tianzhu.

There is a large desert in the west, boring!

Although the land of Persia is in ruins, people have their own way of survival.

It depends on trade!

Persia was located between developing Europe, Central Asia and Tianzhu, and that bridge position brought development to its economy.

The British and Dutch in particular were very fond of Persian carpets, silks and textiles. Other exports included horses, wool, pearls and almonds used as condiments in Tianzhu.

There is silk in Persia too!

Persia not only made huge profits by mediating trade with Europe, but also widely absorbed and borrowed mature production technologies from Eastern and Western civilizations.

Silkworm rearing and silk weaving technology is an important production technology that the ancient Persian people indirectly introduced from China based on the characteristics of their natural environment. This technology not only satisfied the Persians' demand for expensive silk, but also satisfied the needs of the Persians to a certain extent.

And the export of silk has become a source of wealth for successive Persian dynasties!

"Damn it, damn it! Those devils from the East have only been quiet for a few days, and they are here to rob again!"

"As the King of Kings, he must ask them to pay the price!"
