Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1701: The Tang diplomat who is 10 miles into the wind and smelly

He Xihua also lamented how fast he has changed since he came to Curry for half a year. Before he came to Curry, he had nothing but a dozen or so savings.

But now, the wife has already made a reservation, although she has not yet come to propose marriage. There are more than 100 hectares of fields. Although most of them are wasteland, they need to be reclaimed by themselves, and many are even dry land that cannot be reclaimed. There are also houses, although it is only a small wooden house, but at least it can shelter from the wind and rain.

As for the money, it's still a little short now, and he still owes a lot of money to the bank, but after a few months of his chickens, ducks, pigs, and other animals, he will be able to repay all the money after he has harvested the first season of grain. Debt, and at the same time it is estimated that I can save thirty or forty yuan on hand.

To be honest, he could not have imagined such a day half a year ago.

Now he is already thinking about it, and he simply persuades his eldest brother and his parents to immigrate. Although his hometown is his hometown, that little land is enough for the eldest family to barely survive. There is no better way to come to Curry.

Just because of the stubbornness of my father, I am afraid that he is not willing to come.

If my father was willing to immigrate, he would have immigrated more than ten years ago, and he does not have to wait until now. Back then, Liaodong and Liaodong, Guangdong, Guangxi and Huguang all needed a large number of immigrants. His father did not go, and now it is even more impossible to come to Curry, which is farther away. .

Not everyone is like themselves, willing to give up their hometown for a better life.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't come, as long as you get along well in Curry, you can send money back to your parents in the future, so that your parents can live a better life in their later years.

There are not only one person like He Xihua in Curry, but there are many others. Although they come from different places and their circumstances are not the same, they all have one thing in common, that is, they cannot live in their original places. Then, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he ran to Curry to start a new life.

After these people arrived in Curry, generally speaking, life can be lived, and most of them are better than before the immigrants.

Of course, not everyone, like He Xihua and the others, are pure agricultural immigrants.

In fact, here in Curry, there is also a group of relatively special immigrants.

That is all kinds of adventurers. They didn't come to Curry for those wild lands. They came to seek opportunities to make a fortune.

These people include businessmen, even gentry, nobles, retired soldiers, and all kinds of hooligans. In short, they are not good people.

They came to Curry with only one goal: to make a fortune!

And make a fortune!

Zuo Chengsheng is such a person. Their Zuo family used to be considered a wealthy family, but with the opening of the Northwest Railway many years ago, after the military entered the Western Regions and even Central Asia, the Zuo family in Chang'an also set up a cotton spinning factory. , bought wool from the Western Regions and Central Asia, and then spun it into wool for sale, and made money in the first few years.

However, as more and more capital poured into the northwest region, many large enterprises even went directly to Tumi Province to start textile factories. Their factories have small capital and old machinery, and the quality of their products is not as good as others. , which is slowly getting worse.

A year ago, the factory went bankrupt completely. More importantly, for these small workshops, there is no such thing as limited liability. The factory went bankrupt and the big debts owed all need to be repaid by the Zuo family.

As a result, after the debt was paid off, their Zuo family couldn't even stay in the ancestral home of Sanjin.

Father was hit by this, and he passed away one year after being unhappy!

Zuo Chengsheng, as the eldest son of the Zuo family, naturally took over the important task of revitalizing the family business.

Half a year ago, he heard a friend talking about Curry and the West Sea, saying that the south of the West Sea was the Safi dynasty of the Persians, and there were the Ottomans in the southwest.

And this friend is a retired naval officer, and he also knows some of the overseas policies of the empire. He said that the natives in these two places were supported by the empire, and the empire had a huge influence on the Safi dynasty and the Ottoman dynasty of the Persians. .

Moreover, it is said that the empire is still supporting the Ottomans and the Tatars to fight. In the Caucasus region, in the Balkans, the Ottomans are all fighting with the Tatars.

It is also said that every year many merchant ships go to the Safi dynasty or the Ottoman Empire for trade, which is very profitable.

The speaker does not intend, the listener intends.

After Zuo Chengsheng heard this, he wrote it down, then went home and dug out the map, and found Curry City and the Caspian Sea, as well as the Safi Dynasty and the Ottoman Dynasty on the south side of the Caspian Sea.

Then a bold idea just lingers!

That is the Caspian trade.

Since those large maritime trading companies can start from the mainland, go through Malacca and the Indian Ocean, and go to the Safi Dynasty and the Ottoman Dynasty to trade, why does he not know how to start directly from Curry, and then cross the Caspian Sea to the Safi Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire. trading.

Moreover, the Caspian Sea is an inland lake. It is calm and does not have high requirements for boats. Any small boat can be used. As for the issue of goods, he can directly purchase it in the warehouse or simply produce it himself.

As soon as this idea appeared, he couldn't take it any longer.

In the end, he raised the last money and ran to Curry!

His funds are not much, only more than 600 yuan!

If this money is for ordinary farmers, for example, for people like He Xihua, it is naturally a huge amount of money, but for Zuo's family, which has passed by, it is already too little to be less.

He came to Curry three months ago, but he didn't act rashly the first time.

Of course, if you want to act, you can't, because at that time, there were no civilian ships in Curry Port except for military and government ships.

So even if he wants to go to trade by ship, it is impossible.

In addition, after arriving in Curry, Zuo Chengsheng discovered that there are quite a few people who want to engage in Caspian trade just like himself. There are more than a dozen people he knows and knows. There are tens of thousands of net worth, and the few are only a few hundred net worth like him.

Some people didn't even make it clear that they had mobilized a large amount of goods from the middle, but the result was good. They didn't even have a boat when they came here. How could they go to the Safi Dynasty to trade.

If you go by land, you will have to cross hundreds of kilometers of deserts, Gobi Desert and other uninhabited areas. The transportation cost is too high, and it is impossible to travel to the Ottoman Dynasty.

The pattern of Eastern Europe and West Asia in the 35th year of Xuanping is relatively complicated. For example, the Caucasus region is bounded by the Caucasus Mountains in the north. The north is controlled by the Tatars, while the southern part is controlled by the Ottomans. Part of it was controlled by the Persians.

Among them, the Caucasus is close to an important port on the Caspian Sea, Baku, which is currently under the control of the Ottomans.

This place was originally a highly autonomous khanate controlled by the Persians, but the Safi dynasty failed to stop it after the Tatar invasion.

Later, the strategic focus of the Tatars moved westward and entered Central Europe in one fell swoop. They strategically abandoned the Caucasus region, but only occupied a strategic location in the northern Caucasus Mountains to control the Don and Volga plains in the north of the Caucasus Mountains.

For parts of the South Caucasus, it chose to give up voluntarily.

In this case, the Ottomans launched a "counter-offensive" in the Caucasus and finally occupied a large area of ​​the South Caucasus, including Baku.

In the eyes of the Persians, these territories belonged to them, and they always wanted to take them back.

Another key point is that with the strategic westward movement of the Tatars, the South Caucasus was abandoned, and Central Asia was also occupied by the Tang Empire. This Safi Dynasty, like the Mughal Dynasty, was no longer with the Mughal Dynasty. The Tatars made contact.

Without the huge threat of the Tatars, everyone’s minds became wild. The Mughal Dynasty wanted to unify the Indian peninsula, and the Safi Dynasty also wanted to retake the Caucasus and the Mesopotamia.

In this regard, the Datang Empire is naturally not allowed.

They don't even know that once they don't have a border with the Tartars and lose the threat of the Tartars, their value to the Tang Empire will drop significantly. Don't count on support and the like, and it's even more impossible to support them. They went to war with the Ottoman Empire.

The Tang Empire also needs the Ottoman Empire to consume the Tatars in the Balkans and the Caucasus~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If the Safi Dynasty stabs the Ottomans in the back, it will easily cause the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

If the Ottoman Empire is over, who will contain the 300,000 to 400,000 Tatar troops on the southern and eastern fronts?

Therefore, the Datang Empire does not care about the contradiction between the two countries, but they are not allowed to break out into war. For this reason, the Garrison and the fleet deployed by the Datang Empire in the Persian Gulf region are gradually increasing their troops.

If the Safi Dynasty dared to stab and destroy the global strategy of the Tang Empire, the Tang Empire would not mind destroying them first.

At the same time, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is already doing things in the Mughal Dynasty, trying to provoke the Mughal Dynasty to attack the Persians.

The high-level officials of the Mughal Dynasty were very excited about this. The Indian peninsula was very good, but the Tang people were too strong here, and they did not give the Mughals a chance to go south. Even these years were split by the Tang Dynasty. They went to several places, and if they continued to do this, they were afraid they would be completely dismembered.

If the Indian peninsula cannot move, it is better to expand westward.

When the Mughal Dynasty raised gold and so on everywhere, it purchased arms and materials from the Tang Dynasty to prepare for the westward march.

They did not know that the Tang diplomats also persuaded the Safi Dynasty and supported them to seize part of the territory of the Mughal Dynasty.

Therefore, the current Safi dynasty is also preparing for war, preparing to wage war against the Mughals.

Even, both of them knew about this situation, but they did not speak by default.

No matter what, today's Datang diplomats can be said to be notorious among contemporary indigenous people!

It belongs to the kind that stinks ten miles into the wind!

Why?

Because Datang diplomats will bring wars wherever they go!
