I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The same drama is still playing out in Persia.

Dahua did not directly send the main army into Persia, but only sent a small number of elite troops to help the pro-China forces in Persia overthrow the Safavid dynasty.

The situation of the Safavid dynasty is very complicated, and it belongs to a loose federal state composed of multiple local tribes.

Apart from the need to pay a small amount of tax, local provinces do not have many restrictions.

Central control over local governments is very weak.

This kind of government has no problem when the country is strong. Everyone is willing to unite under the central government and bully the surrounding areas together.

However, once such a regime encounters a strong external challenge, it will face the problem of disunity.

The Safavid dynasty controlled a large territory, nearly three million square kilometers, and had a large population. Logically speaking, it should be very powerful.

However, the Safavid dynasty's mobilization ability was very poor.

When a war broke out between the easternmost province of Shahr and Dahua, support from the central government had not arrived until they were defeated.

At this time, the capital of the Safi Dynasty was in Tabriz in East Azerbaijan, which was in the northwest of Persia, close to the Ottomans. It was very far away from the territory to the east, and the traffic remained unchanged.

Some areas that originally belonged to Persia, such as Shahr Province and Afghanistan, have fallen into the hands of Dahua in the past few years.

The choice of King Abbas II of the Safavid dynasty was silence.

After all, the taxes from those few places combined are not enough to cover a fraction of the cost of sending troops.

What's more, it's hard to win even if you send out troops.

Abbas II's choice cannot be said to be too problematic. If he had sent troops earlier, Persia would have been in crisis.

And now, at least he still has a few more years to live.

The behavior of Abbas II made it clear to the local forces attached to the Persian Empire that the central government was unreliable and had to find its own way out.

Among them, some local forces chose to join Dahua, and with the support of Dahua, they advanced towards Tabriz.

By the end of the 14th year of Yongxing, most of Persia had been occupied by the rebels.

Tabriz, Abbas II was on the top of the palace, overlooking the city, his eyes full of reluctance.

This is his territory, his kingdom.

However, Abbas II knew that this place would soon no longer belong to him.

Facing the rebels, he could only resist 50-50.

And with the addition of an elite Chinese army to the rebels, there was nothing he could do.

His troops all suffered from a kind of Sinophobia. As long as they encountered a Chinese army, they would not dare to fight, no matter how many people were on the opposite side or whether they were the main force.

Running away when encountering Chinese troops has become their label.

What hope can there be for such an army?

Abbas II did not want to surrender, but his strength did not allow it.

"These bastards probably still want to capture Tabriz and use my head to claim credit. It's a pity, hum."

Abbas II sneered.

He made a decision, a decision that would allow those rebels to return without success.

That is, he himself surrendered to Dahua first.

In this way, the rebels had no reason to attack Tabriz.

Even if the rebels insist on fighting, it is impossible for Dahua's army to help them, so he does not need to worry.

Moreover, he is still the king of the Persian Empire after all, and the treatment he can enjoy if he surrenders will definitely be better than those of the rebel leaders.

Abbas II felt that he was quite smart and could easily defeat the purpose of the rebels.

Although in this case, he will also lose his throne.

However, Abbas II also knew very well that even if he did not surrender, he would not be able to maintain the throne for long.

It's the same as losing the throne, but there is a huge difference between voluntarily giving up and being deprived of it.

At the beginning of the 15th year of Yongxing, Abbas II initiated negotiations with the Chinese ambassador to Persia to discuss abdication.

The negotiation between the two parties went smoothly. After all, Dahua has become somewhat familiar with this kind of thing.

North Korea, Fuso, Siam, Spain...

According to convention, after Abbas II abdicates, he can still receive preferential treatment like Carlos.

You can either go to Nanjing to settle permanently, or you can continue to live the life of a little king in the fiefdom given by Dahua.

Different from Carlos's choice, Abbas II chose to go to Nanjing. He had longed for the wealth of the Central Plains.

In March of the 15th year of Yongxing, Abbas II issued a telegram (that is, an unencrypted telegram that can be received by all radio stations), announcing his abdication, and the entire territory of Persia was merged into Dahua and became part of the territory of Dahua.

As a result, Dahua's territory has exceeded 75 million square kilometers.

In Asia, there is only one Ottoman Empire left that has not yet been conquered.

After defeating the Ottomans, the whole of Asia belongs to Dahua.

Moreover, most areas have established effective rule, which can collect taxes and issue various policy instructions to the local people. It is not a nominal occupation.

As for Oceania, it has long become part of Dahua's territory.

The scattered small islands in the Pacific are also constantly being discovered.

Spain, the Netherlands, southern Italy and some islands in Europe have also become Dahua's territory.

In Africa, South Africa and North Africa near the Mediterranean Sea have all received

complex.

Dahua did not send anyone to declare possession of those desert areas, but for Dahua, this was almost a matter of words.

As long as Dahua goes there and declares its possession of the land, no one will object.

Most of the coastal areas of South America are also controlled by Dahua, and the next step is to go deep into the interior.

In North America, only the western plateau, Mexico, the east and the north were not recovered.

And the military operations in these places have never stopped for a moment, and Dahua's territorial area is growing every day.

Sometimes the growth is slow, but sometimes it suddenly increases by dozens or even millions.

For example, in April, Dahua added more than two million square kilometers.

They completed effective rule over the entire Arabian Peninsula. The Ottoman Empire's troops had voluntarily evacuated this area and chose to stick to Baghdad.

After all, at present, the plain area along the Euphrates River has relatively high economic value.

For Baghdad, Ottoman is an important city that must be preserved, and other places can almost be abandoned.

Dahua, on the other hand, refuses to accept anyone who comes, and wants it anywhere, even Antarctica.

After the Ottomans withdrew, Dahua quickly established effective rule on the Arabian Peninsula.

Although there were some minor twists and turns during the process, when Dahua showed a more powerful force than Ottoman, the local people chose to acquiesce.

For them, it's just a different ruler, there's not much difference.
