Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong's first reaction when he heard that the officials had run away was: I didn't bring too many people here, and I didn't want to fight Persia. What are they running for?

But soon he realized that these officials must have nothing to do with him.

Xiao Zirong looked at him and asked, "What happened? Did the officials here commit a crime?"

The interpreter's face was a bit ugly: "No, I heard people say that the flames of war are about to spread."

Xiao Zirong was a little sluggish, looked up at the interpreter and asked, "What did you say?"

The interpreter was a little uncertain: "It sounds like this."

Xiao Zirong was a little puzzled, no, shouldn't Persia be a very powerful empire?It's the only one that bullies people, how can it have a place to be bullied by others?

Persia is now being ruled by the Sasanian dynasty. This dynasty is young, powerful, and likes to expand its territory. No matter how you think about it, it feels wrong.

He stood up and looked out of the window. The people outside were still singing and dancing, the people were coming and going, and the merchants were still selling things.

Xiao Zirong turned to look at Tong Yi: "Is this what you said about going to war?"

The interpreter smiled wryly: "I know some people here, and the news I got from them is that this matter is still kept secret."

How can the common people be told in advance if the enemy is coming?It is necessary for these people to drag the invaders for a while before letting them escape.

The interpreter said anxiously, "Your Highness, let's run too."

Xiao Zirong was beeping in his heart, thinking whether he was in a state of war, and no matter where he went, he had to fight first.

He thought for a while and said, "Go back to the boat first."

He needs to learn more about the situation in this country, and his Jingwei has artillery, firecrackers, and heavy crossbows. He is not afraid of naval battles at all, and no matter who comes, he will not be able to get benefits.

But he doesn't plan to leave for the time being. He came here to do business. He left without doing anything, especially if the biggest goal was not achieved. If he returns home, he can't bear this grievance!

Xiao Zirong and the interpreter hurried back to the boat, occasionally someone would ask curious questions on the way.

Xiao Zirong was a little strange: "They know me?"

The interpreter smiled and said, "They don't know you, but they know that we are businessmen from the East."

Xiao Zirong understood, and after returning to the boat, Xiao Zirong told him to be careful if he needed to go down, try not to go too far, and come back that day.

Jing Shi followed him with a worried look on his face: "Your Highness, why don't we leave first, or find another port?"

"The Khorasan port is the only place where our ship can dock. No other port is allowed. If you go east, you have to stop back to India." Xiao Zirong said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, let's see , even if it is a naval battle, we may not be afraid of them."

They are few in number, but their weapons are advanced, and their ships are advanced enough that they can still run if they cannot be beaten.

After Jing Shi heard this, he had no choice but to go down and deploy his defenses. The most important thing to do was to let the landing ship escort the main ship.

As soon as Xiao Zirong returned to his cabin, he saw Zhai Ling coming over with the account book and said, "Wei Yun went off the ship to trade. This is the account book of yesterday's transaction. Please have a look at it, Your Highness."

He lowered his head and took a look. In just one day, the trading volume was already comparable to the previous gatherings in the countries of the South China Sea, and comparable to the trading volume in India.

In fact, if it wasn't for him still asking for something, this transaction volume can already bring a lot of money back with the goods.

Xiao Zirong turned the account book to the side, and looked out the window with his chin on his shoulders. On the surface, he was looking at the scenery, but in fact he was flipping through related books in his mind.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that he really didn't know much about Persia.

The Sassanid Dynasty is powerful in this region, even facing India, but it does not mean that it is really invincible.

During this period, he also had an old enemy——嚈DA (yàndā), which was called Huaguo in the historical records of the florists.

The struggle between Heda and Persia has been going on for a long time. At this time, it has entered a fierce stage, and at the same time, the winner is about to be decided-after all, the mighty Persia has not been able to defeat this nomad with no towns and no words, and is forced to pay tribute to it. Pride.

Xiao Zirong was not sure if it was Xida who called, but after searching, he knew that it should be close to ten, because Xida occupied the Khorasan area.

He came back from the library, looked out the window and sighed, probably he will have to wait for the battle situation here to stabilize.

As for whether to do business with Persia or Heda, to be honest, he doesn't care too much.

The chants came very quickly, and that night Xiao Zirong was awakened by the shouting.

He got up with his clothes on, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Jing Shi and his adjutant personally standing guard for him.

Xiao Zirong yawned and asked, "Are you fighting?"

As soon as Jing Shi turned his head, he saw his highness with disheveled hair and a coat on his body. Under the slightly dim light, the adult Jinling King's skin was still warm and fair, like the best jade, maybe it was Because of being awakened, he didn't look very awake, and there was a bit of mist in his eyes.

Jing Shi only glanced twice, and after seeing the other party rubbing his eyes, bringing out a small blush at the end of his eyes, he subconsciously moved his eyes away and didn't dare to look more, because he found that his heartbeat had started to slow down. law.

Xiao Zirong waited for a while but didn't get an answer and couldn't help being surprised: "Jingshi?"

"Ah? Yes!" Jing Shi came back to his senses and said, "Someone entered the city just after dark."

Xiao Zirong was speechless: "It's so easy? Did you just enter the city?"

Jing Shi's expression was unimaginable: "They seem to have no one defending the city at all, and they scattered and fled as soon as the enemy army came."

Xiao Zirong nodded, casually took a hair band to loosen her hair, put on her coat and went directly to the deck.

At this time, the city was already filled with flames, and there were screams of fleeing and despair everywhere.

Xiao Zirong squinted his eyes and found that he couldn't see anything clearly, so he said, "Go, go to the observation deck."

After going up to the watchtower, Xiao Zirong took a closer look with his clairvoyance, and found that the Persians seemed to be completely invincible to Heda, or they hadn't organized an effective resistance at all.

These Persians may be the most ordinary people, and the army has either fled in all directions or left quietly with the officials.

As a nomad, Heda is naturally dominated by cavalry. Xiao Zirong stood on the observation deck and watched them wielding knives at the common people, frowning and said: "Don't watch."

I can't stand it, it's too different from his values.

The mainstream thinking of the Han people generally would not kill and surrender, and they would not easily attack the common people. If someone did massacre the city during the war, it would be written into the history books and scolded for thousands of years.

Although there is no one in Khorasan today who can stand up and surrender, it is actually no different from surrender.

If he encountered such a city, apart from the risk of sending people to eliminate the trap, it would be impossible for soldiers to attack the common people.

Xiao Zirong ordered while walking down, "Leave the port and set sail."

He didn't say where he was going, but Jing Shi knew that the meaning was to get out of the bow and arrow range of the harbor first.

Before, they all thought that even if the two countries were at war, as businessmen, they should not be affected, but judging from the current posture of the other party, it is better to be careful.

Their fleet is relatively large, and they have begun to attract attention when they left the port. Some businessmen who had previously traded with them rushed over and begged them to take them for a ride. Of course, they would give money.

These merchants held many Persian silver coins in their hands, and some even held gold cakes, just to escape.

Xiao Zirong stood on the deck and looked at these people in silence for a while, Jing Shi beside him couldn't help but said worriedly: "Your Highness, the enemy army has found us, we must leave the port as soon as possible."

Xiao Zirong sighed and said, "Throw them a few lifeboats, and the rest depends on their luck."

There is no way to save them. If you stop to save them, when those Heda people come, they may be the ones who are injured.

Xiao Zirong did have heavy firepower in his hands, but the problem was that these heavy firepower were only suitable for long-range strikes, not to mention that it was impossible for him to attack the harbor anyway.

If he blows up the harbor, he really can only go back home!

When Xiao Zirong's fleet set sail to leave, those Xida people killed them. At this time, many rich merchants had already boarded the boat and hurriedly started rowing away.

However, only a few were able to run away in a panic, and many people were killed by the Heda people.

The spring breeze blew away the bloody smell from Khorasan Harbor, and the seawater took on a dark red color.

After almost killing the people, the Heda people gradually stopped, but did not leave. They all looked at the huge fleet staying in the sea in the distance.

At this time, a Heda man with curly and disheveled hair came riding on horseback. Even though there was only fire lighting from burning goods around him, he could still see that the other party's facial features were three-dimensional and his appearance was very handsome.

Xiao Zirong didn't know much about Heda's attire, and there was no record of it in history, but judging by the way the people around him made way for him, he was obviously an officer.

The officer stared at Xiao Zirong on the deck for a while, then turned his head and said something to the people next to him.

Immediately someone next to him yelled something at them.

Xiao Zirong subconsciously asked the interpreter next to her, "What did they say?"

The interpreter looked confused: "Subordinates...subordinates don't understand, they don't speak Persian."

Only then did Xiao Zirong realize that Ye Da belonged to Turkic people, and they should speak Turkic language.

This is embarrassing, and he didn't expect to deal with Turkic people even when he came to Persia.

Forget it, he doesn't really want to deal with the Heda people anymore, because they have different ways and don't conspire with each other.

Just when he was about to ignore the Heda people and leave, he suddenly heard someone shouting in a polite and polite way: "General Luo Shou, please get off the ship and tell the story!"

Xiao Zirong was surprised by Qi people?Why are there Qi people there?
