The Turks retreated in a hurry, but Persia could not be happy. After all, because of the strong walls and clear fields, the Persians suffered heavy losses.

In order not to make the Turks have a good time, the Persians took away any food and animals that could be eaten in the direction of the Turkish army. Those who could not be taken away were destroyed or killed directly.

It was easy to destroy it at that time, but afterwards, it would be a big loss! Moreover, the Turks did a great job before leaving - they demolished the palace of Tabriz...

The palace of Tabriz was built by Ismail I, who summoned many skilled craftsmen to build it, and the construction cost was very high. The Turks directly and violently demolished the palace, causing heavy losses to Persia. Because it was very expensive to rebuild the palace.

Therefore, although the Turks did not gain much benefit in this war, the Persians also suffered great losses. In order not to leave good things for the Turks, the Persians demolished more than a dozen cities themselves!

Fortunately, the cities in this era were not large in size and the infrastructure was very simple. Otherwise, the losses of each city alone would be at the level of 10 billion in later generations.

Even so, the Persians also lost property worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins this time and starved many people to death. These people all starved to death after they were strengthened and cleared the countryside because they did not have enough food.

Of course, in this era, not many people would care about the life and death of a few civilians. Therefore, these unlucky civilians would starve to death and no one would seek justice for them. Moreover, how should they seek justice? The order to confiscate food was personally issued by the Persian monarch Ismay I...

And this defeat also reminded Ismayi I, who was extremely confident in the past, that there is heaven beyond heaven, and there is someone beyond man, he is not the most awesome...

Therefore, under the pressure of the powerful Türkiye, Ismay I thought of joining forces with others to fight against the stronger Türkiye for the first time.

Unlike the original history, Ismayi I did not lose those loyal ministers who were as close as uncles and brothers in this war. Moreover, Ismayi I was not caught by Selim I. Therefore, Ismayi I in this time and space did not fall into a slump, but planned to compete with the Turks.

Then Ismail I thought of trading with the Europeans. In particular, importing artillery and muskets used by the Turks from Europe!

This time, although he only fought head-on, Ismayi I also saw the huge power of guns and cannons. Therefore, he urgently hoped that he could also have such powerful weapons to fight against the Turks.

Therefore, Ismail I sent people to inform the Portuguese who occupied the Strait of Hormuz and agreed to conduct large-scale trade with the Portuguese.

At the same time, Ismay I also called Bad, a spy from the Beihai Kingdom, expressing his willingness to trade with the Beihai Kingdom, hoping to import guns and cannons from the Beihai Kingdom.

Bard naturally agreed and used a carrier pigeon to send the news back to the Beihai country.

After receiving the news, Marin decided to form a fleet immediately and prepare to open up Persian routes. In addition to supporting Persian artillery and muskets, Marin was also very interested in some Persian products.

According to the information sent back by Bad, the Persian Safavi Empire is rich in resources, and the more famous ones are Persian carpets, silks and textiles!

Afterwards, the trade between Persia and the Central Plains could only be achieved through Arab merchants on the sea. However, during the previous trade, Persian merchants brought back heavy and mulberry seedlings, and the silk industry was also developed in Persia. Although it was not as professional as the Chinese region, its technology could barely be compared with some European silk. In the absence of Chinese silk, Persian silk was also very popular.

In addition, Persia exports horses, wool, pearls and almonds that Indians like to serve as condiments. While Persians like to import goods include coins (Persia lacks metals and precious metals), textiles, spices, metals, coffee and sugar.

Marin once saw in history books that after the Dutch colonized Taiwan, they planted sugar cane and squeezed sugar in the local area. In addition to being sold to Japan, Persia is also an important sucrose market.

Of course, the Netherlands has not yet risen. Moreover, Marin deliberately made a fussy talent and turned it into a furniture production center. At present, the Portuguese occupying the Strait of Hormuz.

The Portuguese did not have the talent for farming. They were pure commercial colonists and had no talent for farming...

...

Marin was actually not interested in carpets, silks, wools and pearls produced by Persia. What he was really interested in was Persian war horses. After all, Persia was once under the Arab Empire, and local horses were mixed with Arab horse blood and belonged to excellent war horses. Moreover, even if they were not mixed with Arab horse blood, Persian horses themselves were excellent.

Moreover, as a country dominated by nomadic peoples, local horses do not need to feed too much food. This is much better than European food-eating horse breeding. At least, it is very cost-saving!

Therefore, Marin planned to use artillery to exchange war horses in Persia. Even if it is not a war horse, it is okay to pick up the horse. In short, as long as it is a horse that is of good quality and mainly eats grass, Marin wants it.

In addition, Marin also needs another hidden commodity from Persia - oil!

What Marin wants is not oil from the Persian Gulf region. Nowadays, oil from the Persian Gulf has not yet emerged. Only Baku, Azerbaijan, really began to produce oil in this era.

Nowadays, the Azerbaijan region is still under the rule of the Persian Safavi Empire. If Marin wants to obtain Baku's oil, he has to trade with the Persian Safavi Empire.

It is said that Baku's local oil production can currently carry hundreds of ships per year. Marin plans to take advantage of the opportunity of trade with Persia to import oil from Persia. Then, gasoline is extracted and powerful incendiary bombs are produced specifically for dealing with enemy cities and warships.
