Chapter 1077

Episode 1077: Tosagupeng (7)

After a while, the palace gate opened.

“The Shah has given permission to enter the palace.”

At the words of the gatekeeper, the messengers of the three countries and the troops to guard them stepped forward.

“for a moment! “The military cannot come in!”

“This is the minimum number of troops for escort!”

“You can harm Sha!”

“The demand is the same as that of the troops who usually accompany us when we enter the palace!”

“But the situation is no different!”

“Did we create that situation? “We are victims!”

The gatekeeper was at a loss for words after hearing the words of the imperial messenger who represented the messengers. As the imperial messenger said, the number of troops currently guarding the messengers was the same as before. The only difference was that unlike before, when he was armed with a long sword and a short gun, he was heavily armed with a long gun and a firearm I had never seen before, and had a murderous expression on his face.

Just like the lion said, they didn’t do it first, but it happened when those damn Kizilbashi warriors attacked. In the end, the gatekeeper ended up using the best method he could think of.

“Wait a moment! “I will report it to the top and get an answer!”

After some time passed, the gatekeeper appeared again.

“The Shah said he would allow the escort troops to accompany him. But the number of troops must remain the same as before!”

“I understand!”

While the troops escorting the messengers and Ismail’s soldiers guarding the Daejeon were staring at each other, the messengers who entered the Daejeon politely bowed to Ismail.

“See you Shah.”

“I heard there was a big accident.”

“yes. “Many soldiers were killed or injured.”

“I express my deepest condolences.”

“Is this what the Shah ordered?”

The prime minister stepped forward on behalf of Ismail in response to the imperial emissary’s strong remarks.

“I assure you that it was not the Shah’s will.”

“We, the three Eastern countries, can never overlook this. “We demand strong punishment for the armed group that caused this accident.”

The Prime Minister’s eyes sparkled at the imperial emissary’s strong remark.

‘If you listen to the lion’s remarks now, they are very strong-minded. But an armed group?’

During that short period of time, the Prime Minister shook his head furiously.

-Messengers from the East are also well aware of the relationship between the Shah and Kizilbash.

-If they want to put pressure on us and interfere in our internal affairs, they can take advantage of it.

-But now you used the word ‘armed group’.

-This is an indication of distinguishing between Shah and Kizilbashi.

‘Then...’

The Prime Minister, who was wondering what the hidden meaning was in the imperial messenger’s remarks, soon came to a conclusion.

‘I have no intention of losing to Shah! Instead, they are demanding the purge of Kizilbash! And the East will actively support this! then!’

The Prime Minister answered with a bright face.

“Are you okay? “If the results they bring are good, the future work will be easier.”

The Imperial Lion smiled slightly and asked at the words of the Japanese Lion.

“I guess you’ve never seen the full strength of a properly organized Imperial cavalry?”

“It’s a shame, but yes. “This is my first time seeing it.”

The imperial official grinned and accepted the Japanese messenger’s words.

“The imperial cavalry did not give it their all in the battle that took place in front of the royal palace. But those who are going out now are the ones who have properly formed their forces. “It will never lead to any bad results.”

The Japanese lion’s expression became full of doubts as he saw the imperial lion confidently answering. Then the messenger from Ming Dynasty next to him added a word.

“There is a saying going around among the Mongolian tribes. ‘If you shoot your cannons like arrows from a distance, it’s the imperial cavalry. If you shoot your guns like arrows from afar, it’s the Ming Dynasty cavalry.’” “

Oh, come to think of it...”

The Japanese messenger recalled the sight of the imperial cavalry that had just departed and shouted loudly. I sympathized. The imperial cavalry procession included many carriages. Among them, only about 1/3 of the carts were loaded with necessary supplies. The rest were tow trucks loaded with artillery, fire bombs, and carts loaded with gunpowder.

A few days after the imperial cavalry departed to suppress the remnants of Kizilbashi, the cavalry that had headed to the port where the transport fleet was staying returned to Tabriz with a late detachment. After confirming the arrival of the late troops, messengers from the three countries visited Ismail.

“I have something to give to Sha.”

“What is it?”

In response to Ismail’s question, the imperial messenger gave a glance to the commander who followed. At the glance of the lion, the commander left Daejeon for a while and returned with soldiers carrying boxes. The soldiers who put down the boxes in front of Ismail removed the lids of the wooden boxes with their claws and stepped back.

“this is!”

Ismail, seeing the contents of the box, jumped up from his seat. Inside the open boxes were long guns made in imperial and prestige Japan, as well as imperial freight cars. Ismail approached the box as if possessed, picked up the rifles inside the box and looked around.

Looking at Ismail, the imperial messenger opened his mouth.

“The remaining boxes are in front of the palace gate.”

“let’s go!”

At the words of the imperial messenger, Ismail left the palace immediately, and the emperor and other ministers followed him. Dozens of boxes were piled up in front of the palace gate, and soldiers from the bodyguard stood guard surrounding the boxes.

“1,000 rifles and 100 freight cars. “First of all, we have one million rounds of ammunition.”

The imperial messenger who explained the contents smiled and continued.

“This is a small gift from the East for the Shah and his army.”

“Thank you!”

Ismail expressed his sincere gratitude.

* * *

Ismail and the Prime Minister could not hide their joy and looked at the contents of the box one by one. Ismail, who was looking around, soon looked back at the lions with a face full of curiosity.

“By the way. The shapes of these rifles and freight cars here seem similar, but they are slightly different. “Is there a reason?”

The imperial messenger came forward and answered Ismail’s question.

“It’s because things made by the three Eastern countries were mixed together.”

“huh?”

“ah. The bullets used are all the same. There will be no problem with supply.”

The messenger answering Ismail muttered to himself.

‘A kind of trick rather than a coincidence?’

All of the long guns in the box were made based on the Florentine long guns provided by the Empire in Florence. The freight cars were also made based on blueprints provided by the Empire in exchange for royalties from Ming and Japan. As a result, the specifications of the ammunition used were the same for all three countries.

Of course, the power was all different.
