Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1738
"What kind of international expo did China invite us to participate in, and what is the purpose?"

The Persian emperor summoned the ambassadors from the East in the palace, two rows of noble ministers wearing Persian silk, and the prime minister of the Persian Empire.At the top is the 14-year-old Persian Emperor.

Although the emperor of the Persian Empire is the seat of the greatest power in the Persian Empire, the prime minister is in charge now, and the envoys of the Ministry of Rites intentionally or unconsciously looked at the aged prime minister, who was the one who was asking questions just now.

"We call on all countries in the world to gather in the Oriental capital in order to formulate international laws so that all countries can act in accordance with the order of the world, reduce conflicts and contradictions, and at the same time agree on tariffs and open trade." The envoy of the Ministry of Rites said.

The Persian prime minister and ministers talked a lot after hearing the words. They didn't understand what was going on, and seemed to hear something that they thought was unbelievable.

"Huaxia has the guts to summon all nations to the east, do they want to dominate the world?"

The aged Prime Minister of the Persian Empire had sharp eyes like a goshawk, and he was not very interested in the invitation of the envoys from the Ministry of Rites.

He has a little understanding of the outside world, but he has been fighting against Turks and Uzbeks all year round. In the era of closed information, his news is not so well-informed.He had heard a little about the accidents of the two powerful enemies, the Mughal Empire and the Ottoman Empire, but he did not expect that China and Persia would directly intersect. Woer dealt with Persia the same way Ottoman Turkey did.

"We don't mean to dominate the world. It's just that when the time comes, all nations will gather in the east. As the Persian Empire is a great empire spanning Central Asia and West Asia, Persian silk will also form its own school. If Persia is absent, all nations may be lost at that time." Ignore the existence of the Persian Empire. The world's route has deviated from Persia, and if you lose this opportunity to integrate into the world, you will decline even more," said the ambassador of the Ministry of Rites.

"Nonsense. We Persia has a vast land and abundant resources. We traverse east and west. India, England, and the Netherlands trade with us, and we have all kinds of goods. Isfahan has a population of millions and is rich in the world. Why go to the East to participate in some international exposition?"

"You even invited our emperor to the Eastern capital! Our emperor is the co-lord of this world, what a noble status, you are delusional!"

The Persian ministers ridiculed and laughed at the envoy of the Chinese Ministry of Rites who wanted to invite the Persian emperor to the eastern capital.

Many people only live in the Iranian plateau, surrounded by the Mughal Empire in the east, Turkmen and Uzbeks in the north, Turks in the west, and the sea in the south. The Persian Empire inevitably lags behind the times.

Decades ago, it was the captain of England who introduced Western European firearms to the Persian Empire, which revived the Persian Empire.

Only a few decades later, the pattern of the world has changed again. The technology introduced from Western Europe decades ago has begun to fall behind, and this generation of ministers has once again fallen into a closed environment.

They don't even know where the rising China is, they only know that there is such a country at the starting point of the Silk Road.

The Persian interpreter conveyed the words of the ministers to the ambassador of the Ministry of Rites.

"Do you know what happened to the Mughal Empire and the Ottoman Empire in India? The emperor of the Mughal Empire was defeated in the battle with us, and died of a serious illness in Agra soon after, and the emperor of the Ottoman Empire fell in Constantinople. After being deposed by their prime minister, I don't think the Persian Empire would want to repeat the same mistakes." The ambassador of the Ministry of Rites said.

When the Persian translator told the Prime Minister and ministers of the Persian Empire what the Ambassador of Rites had said, there was an uproar in the palace, and even the nearly 14-year-old emperor turned slightly pale.

This is a blatant threat!

Several ceremonial ambassadors who went to Persia stood with their heads held high in the palace of the Persian Empire.

Carrot plus stick, if you can't say it, then you have to use force to deter it.

"Are you threatening us? Our Persian Empire is not afraid of the Ottoman Empire and the Mughal Empire. There is no need to go to the East to participate in the grand meeting you hold."

Seeing the anger of the Persian nobles, the prime minister chose to stand on the side of the Persian nobles. He did not think that the Chinese who had never appeared in Persia before would have any impact on the Persian Empire.

Moreover, the intelligence received by the Persians showed that the Chinese did not defeat the two powerful countries of the Mughal Empire and the Ottoman Empire in India alone.

The split of the Mughal Empire was due to the betrayal of the Governor of Bengal, who established the Kingdom of Bengal to help the Chinese defeat the emperor of the Mughal Empire, and the Ottoman Empire was defeated by the Eight-Power Allied Forces.

They think that Huaxia's victory is a lot of water, but in fact it may not be that strong.

"So, you mean that you don't plan to send a delegation to participate in our Huaxia World Expo?" The ambassador of the Ministry of Rites confirmed again.

"Our Persian Empire is prosperous and prosperous, and we don't directly intersect with China. I hope that the two sides can live in peace. If we don't go to the World Expo held in your country, it doesn't mean we are enemies with China." The Prime Minister of Persia said.

"I understand what you mean. This is the tea, spices and handicrafts we brought from China, as our respect for the Persian emperor." Porcelain and other gifts were presented to the Persian emperor.

The Persian ministers showed even more arrogant expressions when they saw that the ambassador of the Ministry of Rites subdued and respected their emperor very much.

As a return gift, the prime minister hosted a banquet in honor of the ambassador of the Ministry of Rites. The two sides had a good time drinking and singing, and played and sang night and night for three consecutive days.The ambassador of the Ministry of Rites did not mention the requirement that the Persian Empire must participate in the World Expo.

After the banquet, the young Persian emperor summoned the prime minister and the great Persian nobles.

"Huaxia is no big deal. They were stubborn before, and they stopped humming after seeing our firm opposition."

"In my opinion, the failure of the Mughal Empire and the Ottoman Empire was due to the fact that the Chinese took advantage of the contradictions among the countries and profited from it. Our Persian Empire needs to strengthen internal governance and make good friends with neighboring countries, so the Chinese will have no chance to take advantage of it." .”

Most of the great Persian nobles chose conservative measures and did not want to go overseas for banquets.

The Persian Prime Minister's face was uncertain: "I always feel that they are not as simple as they appear, and they never mention anything about the World Expo. If this continues, they will not be able to explain to their superiors. What are they thinking?"

"I can travel to the East in a few years." The young Persian emperor said suddenly.

"No, merchant ships plotting against us in Persia often appear overseas. Maybe the east is the den of dragons and tigers." The Persian prime minister had other selfish intentions, and he didn't want the young emperor to escape his control.
