Chapter 1627： Move the capital

When the Persians withdrew to a small town called Maku, finally, the North Sea spy Bud, who had stayed in Tabriz, arrived and offered his second plan.

Spy Bard stayed in Tabriz before waiting for instructions. When the battle of Erzurum broke out, another spy sent by Marin to arrive finally arrived and informed Marin's second proposal. So, Bud quickly went to the palace of Tabriz to start the pass, hurried to the direction of Erzurum, and merged with Ismail I.

In the local mosque in the town of Maku, Ismaili once again received Bud. Upon meeting, Ismaili apologized very sincerely, admitting that she underestimated the artillery.

Of course, Ismaili ’s apology is also purposeful. His purpose is to introduce artillery from Marin!

Bud had long known that Marin would support Persia, and he naturally agreed. Then, he presented the strategy that Malin Xin ordered ...

"What, you want Ben Shah to give up the capital Tabriz? This is impossible, the capital is broken, what is the state's majesty?"

Apparently, in the eyes of the Persians, it was a shame to lose the capital. Moreover, it is easy to shake the rule.

But Bud was not in a hurry, according to Marin's instructions:

"Our master said that he once heard a very great strategist say," If you lose your land, everyone will lose; if you lose your land, everyone will survive. "If Shah you stubbornly guard Tabriz, Many soldiers may be killed, including the generals of your uncle and elder brothers who are closest to you. But if Ken is willing to evade the Turks ’edge and insist on the clear walls, the Turks’ 120,000 troops will definitely not be able to keep up. Even if you can fight again, you must retreat. At that time, Tabriz will soon be back in your hands? "

"You know, the Persian territory is vast, even if the Turks occupied Tabriz for a while? Can their army always carry it? Selim I can stay here forever? As long as they retreat, Tabriz or Shah Right now, as long as you temporarily move the Persian court to the Khorasan area in the east, the Turks can still chase Khorasan all the way? If they dare to chase, the supplies will definitely not keep up. Then, you can take The well-preserved main force killed them all! "

Ismaili I was not a fool, on the contrary, he was a military genius. When the sentence from the great ancestor of the Marin cottage was "lost the land, everyone lost; everyone lost the land, everyone survived" through the mouth of Bard, Ismail I was fascinated ...

"If the land is lost, everyone will be lost; if the land is lost, everyone will be saved!"

"If the land is lost, everyone will be lost; if the land is lost, everyone will be saved!"

……

Repeatedly chatting several times, the eyes of Ismayi I suddenly light up ...

He also saw the weakness of the Turks-too dependent on artillery and infantry. However, these two arms are very dependent on supply. If the front is elongated, it is still clear. At the same time, if you harass the opponent's supply line again, you won't worry about the enemy's collapse!

So, after summoning all the generals, Ismaili ordered the Safavid imperial court to temporarily withdraw from Tabriz and move to the southeastern central city of Isfahan.

Ismail I did not dare to take the capital to the easternmost Khorasan region because there are two Uzbek countries, the Shiva Khan and the Siban Khan, in the northeast of the Khorasan region.

Although these Central Asian Khanates are poor, in this era of cold weapons, the fighting power of the Central Asian nomadic people is strong. If the court is placed in Khorasan, it is easy to be attacked by Uzbeks near Khorasan. If the court ministers and members of the royal family were killed, the fun would be great.

Therefore, although the Khorasan region is farther away, for safety reasons, Ismaili changed the destination of the Safavid Empire to Isfahan, the capital of the Seljuk Empire.

Isfahan is located in the central part of the Persian region, far enough away from Tabriz, and has a relatively high degree of security, which is in line with the requirements of transfer. Moreover, Isfahan is currently a very prosperous city.

In this way, Ismaili sent a cronist general, took his own letter and ten thousand cavalry, and returned to Tabriz to move and go. And he himself, with more than 60,000 Persian cavalry, continued his rounds with the Turks, and forged along the way.

In order to buy time for Qiandu, Ismail I couldn't help harassing the Turks in the march and attacked the Turks' supply line, making Selim I inconvenience, but there was no good way.

While the wall was clear, Ismaili directly conquered the herdsmen, let them ride on the war horses, and picked up the scimitar to pretend.

In this way, Ismaili I gathered up the "100,000 Army", and that situation bluffed Selim I too. In fact, about 30,000 or 40,000 people are basically ordinary herders, and their combat effectiveness is very poor.

But Selim I did n’t know, and thought the Persians had mobilized soldiers from all over the country to surround them. Then the Turks were more cautious and the march was slower ...

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the general of Ismaili I successfully moved all taxes and valuables in Tabriz City away from Tabriz City. The officials of the city and the families of the soldiers also followed the ranks, letting the camels and horses carry all kinds of belongings, and moved immensely towards Isfahan in the southeast.

……

And Ismail I also took the "100,000 Army" and frequently frightened the Turks, repeatedly posing a "decisive battle" stance, making the Turks stunned.

While waiting near Tabriz, Selim said in his heart-should you decisively fight now? No more battle, Lao Tzu will break through your old nest!

At this time ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Whether it is European or Middle Eastern, Lao Chao is very important. If the old nest is lost, it symbolizes the destruction. Just like the French, once they lose Paris, they are ready to surrender.

Koselim I did n’t know that 500 years later there was a god-class gangster who dared to lose his base in Eastern China. Moreover, he also said so philosophically, “If the land is lost, everyone will be lost. Everywhere "...

The most annoying thing is that a traverser named Marin came to this time and space, and also taught this sentence to his dead enemy Ismail I ...

Then, near Tabriz, Selim I stayed in line and looked forward to the Persian cavalry rushing over to fight them. Then, fell under the sharp guns of the Turks ...

However, what disappointed Selim I was that the Persians did move. Ismaili took the "Hundred Thousand Army" with a desperate posture, but just refused to attack, but surrounded the circle outside ...

"Nima, since you refuse to work hard, don't blame me for breaking your old nest!"

Then, Selim I commanded the Turkish army and slowly approached Tabriz ...

However, when the Turks opened artillery shells at Tabriz City Gate, they discovered that Tabriz City Gate was a cover-up ...

Then, the Turks swarmed into Tabriz City, only to discover that Tabriz was an empty city. There was no one inside, no food, no gold, silver and treasure ...

In other words, the Persians transferred everything in the capital, leaving only one empty city for the Turks ...
