Taqi did not blame Sultan for interrupting, but nodded in praise: "Yes, Your Highness, King Zhennan, now your Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire are invading our Persian Safavi Empire. Please withdraw your troops immediately."

Zheng Zhilong didn't know the trick. He only thought that these two people were singing together and withdrawing troops? Just talking nonsense is like withdrawing troops from the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire, that's a dream!

He said seriously: "We are fighting against the defensively. You know, you must compensate for all losses caused in this process."

Taqi was so angry, are you guys who defended and counterattacked like this? He rushed up without saying anything, but he beat my 200,000 army of Persian Empire to only half of it, but also rushed for hundreds of miles and hit the city of Fara. This is called defense? This is called counterattack?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he wanted to overturn the table and curse people. However, the situation was stronger than that of the people. The Ming Empire was not something that the Persian Empire could afford. In addition, the Ottoman Empire made them even more unable to afford it.

He had to suppress his anger and explained helplessly: "His Highness Zhennan, we do not want to go to war with the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire. This is a completely misunderstanding."

Misunderstanding? If the Ming Dynasty cannot draw troops and cannot call on allies, then you are going to attack Delhi. Zheng Zhilong curled his lips and said hard: "No matter what, you have caused huge losses to our Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire. If we do not compensate for the losses, we will never withdraw our troops."

Taqi also knew that people had hit the doorstep and it was impossible for them to withdraw their troops without giving them some benefits. He had to say helplessly: "His Royal Highness Zhennan, this is really a misunderstanding, but since the misunderstanding has been caused, we are willing to make appropriate concessions to eliminate this misunderstanding."

Concession? Zheng Zhilong was a little confused. What is concession? Could it be that the translation was wrong? Is this a euphemism for compensation?

He tentatively tentatively: "This misunderstanding is very deep. If it is difficult to eliminate it, how much concessions are you willing to make?"

After hearing this, Taqi gritted his teeth and complained to the full story: "Didn't the Ming Empire always want to build a railway, cross our Persian Empire and go straight to the Ottoman Empire? Now we agree to cross the railway. You can build it at will and we will never interfere. This is OK, right?"

If you agree earlier, you will have nothing to do, but now it's too late!

After delaying for so long, he sent troops to attack Kandahar. Now that he made such a small concession, he wanted to withdraw his troops from the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire. That was a dream.

Zheng Zhilong shook his head slowly and said, "No, no, given the performance of your Persian Empire, our Ming Empire can no longer trust you. In order to ensure the safety of the railway line, you must allocate the land within a hundred miles of the railway to the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire, and we will be in charge of it ourselves."

After hearing this, Taqi looked at Zheng Zhilong in amazement. Isn’t this nakedly letting the Persian Empire cede the land?

It would be fine if it was a little bit of land. It would be more than 5,000 miles from Kandahar to the border of the Ottoman Empire. How much land is that!

It was a dream to let the Persian Empire ced so much land. He shook his head firmly and said, "That's impossible!"

Impossible? Zheng Zhilong was too lazy to talk to him, and continued to threaten him: "Also, do you want the 50,000 or 60,000 prisoners? It has consumed a lot of our food for so many days. If you want it, convert the food they consume into silver, compensate us, and then pay some money to redeem them. Otherwise, we will kill, but we will not care about burying it!"

After hearing this, Taqi's face changed. There were 50,000 or 60,000 people. If he didn't pay for the redeem and killed all the Ming Empire, the families of those soldiers would not be crazy about seeking revenge on him!

These 50,000 or 60,000 people must not be killed by the Ming Empire, otherwise he would not only not be the prime minister, but he would even lose his life.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness of Zhennan, how much does it cost?"

Hehehehe, let me scare you to death, Zheng Zhilong calculated seriously: "There is a precedent for this. Last time the Netherlands redeemed 20,000 prisoners from our Ming Empire. We offered a price of 10,000 taels per person, and 20,000 people were 2000 taels of silver."

When Taqi heard this, his eyes were almost glaring out. Ten thousand taels per person, 60,000 people were only 600 million taels of silver. It wouldn’t be that much money if he sold the Persian Empire!

Zheng Zhilong admired Taqi's expression in a bad mood, and then continued: "Finally, after negotiation, the Netherlands paid a total of 20 million taels of ransom, which is one thousand taels per. Let's do this, we don't need to negotiate anymore. Just calculate the price given by the Netherlands, 60,000 people, 60 million taels, one hand, and the other hand."

The Persian Empire could not even take out the 60 million taels, Taqi said in an almost desperate tone: "His Royal Highness Zhennan, we really can't take out the 60 million taels."

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "You can't even get the 60 million taels?"

This is not because he intentionally humiliated and traitors. He could get all the 60 million taels, not to mention the Ming Dynasty. He really couldn't figure out why the Persian Empire could not get the 60 million taels.

After hearing this, I was ashamed and didn't know what to say. The Ming Empire was indeed rich, but their Persian Empire was not the Ming Empire!

Of course, Zheng Zhilong’s main purpose was not to make the Persian Empire compensate. The emperor did not ask him to extort money. He thought for a while and pretended to be merciful and said, “If you don’t have money, you can get land to compensate. We will suffer some losses and add another hundred miles. As long as you give up the land within two hundred miles along the railway, we will not only withdraw our troops, but also return all the prisoners to you.”

If you can't do a hundred miles, you will be two hundred miles away. Taqi shook his head firmly again and said, "Your Highness, King Zhennan, that's impossible."

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, his eyes narrowed and said gloomyly: "Since the agreement cannot be reached, then forget it. Prime Minister please come back. See you again, Isfahan!"

Taqi was stunned when he heard this. This means he wanted to directly attack Isfahan and destroy the Persian Empire!

Whoever can bear the crime of losing the country will be willing to bear it.

However, thinking of the terrifying artillery and terrifying lineup of the Ming Empire, Taqi knew that if the Ming Empire did not care about casualties, it would be only a matter of time before the Ming Empire destroyed their Persian Empire.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. The disaster of destroying the country was right in front of him. If something was wrong, the Persian Empire would be really over.

Thinking of this, he had to lower his face and said in a nearly begging tone: "His Royal Highness of Zhennan, there are too many two hundred miles, can you lose some?"

Finally admitting his defeat, Zheng Zhilong felt proud. He pretended to be compassionate and sighed: "Oh, then just one hundred miles, you can't be missing any more, otherwise I will not be able to explain to His Majesty the Emperor."

What else can Taqi say? It’s not that I have done anything to cede land and survive the Persian Empire. Even Emperor Abbas had cede land for survival and development. He was just facing an Ottoman Empire. This time, the Ottoman Empire plus a more powerful Ming Empire.

Finally, he had to nod helplessly, "Cetiating land should not be scary, but destroying the country is scary!"
