    *** Since ancient times, the Strait of Hormuz has been a transportation and strategic location, shaped like a curved bow.  n¡Ê Abbas I also paid a lot of money to get the help of the British Navy and seize control of this strait.  ¡°Abbas I would not have been able to do this if he relied solely on the naval strength of the Safavid Empire.  After thirty years, the naval strength of the Safavid Empire has increased significantly. There are nearly 200 large and small warships and nearly 6,000 naval soldiers, all of which are stationed in the Port of Hormuz and the Bandar Abbas Port on the north coast.  ; And also obtained a lot of naval guns from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.  But there are not many. There are actually only eight warships equipped with artillery, and each ship only has ten or eight guns.  Most of the others are small and medium-sized warships, and they also use traditional bows and arrows and broadswords.  With their strength, if they were to fight on a wide ocean, to be honest, it would not be enough to fill the gap between the Great Qin Ocean Fleet.  However, there are many islands in the Strait of Hormuz, including Qeshm Island, Hormuz Island, Hengam Island, Salama Island, Enem Island, Musandam Island, etc.  There are dense reefs and shoals between these islands, which is very beneficial to the small warships of the Safavid Empire. They can be as elusive as wolves.  After the Qin army¡¯s giant ships entered the strait, because they were not very familiar with the waters, they had to be very careful to avoid running aground on the rocks or running aground.  Considering these factors, the fleet led by Wei Ji did not enter the Strait of Hormuz rashly.  "For them, it doesn't matter whether they can enter or not. As long as they cruise in the slightly wider waters outside the strait and intercept passing merchant ships, they can also achieve the purpose of blockade.  The merchants of Great Qin have always followed the pace of the navy. Wherever the navy goes, the merchant ships will go. After Weiji and the others intercepted the merchant ships of the Safavid Empire.  Sell ??directly to the merchants of Da Qin, and at the same time obtain supplies from Da Qin's merchant ships, without leaving at all.  If the Qin army is allowed to continue like this outside the strait, the traffic lifeline on the Safavid Sea will be blocked.  We know that it is very dangerous outside the strait, but what can we do?  Hussein Alevi, commander of the Safavid Empire fleet, could only bite the bullet and assemble the fleet and actively prepare for war, while sending people to negotiate with the Qin army.  That¡¯s right, it¡¯s negotiation.  ¡°At least on the surface there is no war between the Safavids and the Qin Dynasty. If there are any problems, the two families can still sit down and talk about it first.  Hussein Alevi sent the person he thought was the most eloquent, the 40-year-old logistics officer Muhammad Attis.  Take a boat to the outside of the bay.  Muhammad Attis came with an uneasy mood. After seeing the Qin army's giant treasure ship on the sea, he became more and more uneasy.  The treasure ship looked like a mountain. After boarding it, the wide deck was like an island floating on the sea. It caused a huge shock to Mohammed Attis, and his heart suddenly tightened inexplicably.  After getting on the deck, Mohammed Attis felt like he had walked for a long time before he came to the command cabin.  The spacious command cabin makes people not feel that they are on a ship at all, but also think that they are in a palace.  There are not only a large number of ship charts hanging in the cabin, but also various navigation instruments that Muhammad Attis cannot name, and even a huge sand table.  The combat staff is busy, busy but orderly.  The sand table is not made of sand, but of white rice. If it hadn't been piled up with various mountains and rivers.  Muhammad Attis thought he was taken to the ship's granary.  The people of Qin are really smart. Even the sand table can be used to prepare food, killing two birds with one stone.  Muhammad Attis thought so.  Wei Ji was tall, with a Chinese-character face, a pair of broad-bladed eyebrows, piercing eyes, and bronze skin. He sat on the other side of the sand table with a golden sword, and quietly watched Muhammad Attis being brought in by the soldiers.  Muhammad Attis hurriedly put his hand on his chest, bowed and saluted: "Muhammad Attis, pay homage to His Majesty the General." "You're welcome, no courtesy." After all, Muhammad Attis came on behalf of the Safavid Empire.  Wei Ji's tone was a bit condescending.  Muhammad Attis immediately straightened up, regained his composure and said: "Your Majesty, General, our country has no conflict with your country. I wonder why the general robbed our merchant ships without authorization? Your country has always claimed to be a country of etiquette.  Is this the behavior that a country of etiquette should do?" Wei Ji said calmly: "Are you here to ask for punishment?" "Our country does not want to be an enemy of your country, but the general's behavior of plundering our merchant ships  It is clearly a challenge to our country, and the general must give a reasonable explanation. "You want to explain, right?"?You have an explanation.  The area in the middle of the river is already the territory of our Great Qin. Your country has recently mobilized its army frequently to spy on our territory in the middle of the river. Is this a friendly act?  Please give me an explanation too, General.  " The Safavid Empire has long wanted to seize the area in the middle of the river, and now it has a large army pressing down on the border and watching with eager eyes. These are all facts. But Muhammad Attis will never admit it: "There is a war in the middle of the river, and our country has mobilized troops on the border just to prevent the war from burning.  We only strengthened our defense when we entered our country. Where do we start to challenge your country?  " "You are worried that the war will burn into your own country and strengthen defense. I can understand it, general. But now that the war in Hezhong has ended long ago, your country not only did not withdraw its troops, but instead continued to increase its troops. Isn't this a challenge to our great Qin?  ?  " "No, our country is just" "Stop talking nonsense!  The Safavid soldiers are pressing down on the border. Do they have any intention of spying on the river? This is like a blind man eating glutinous rice balls, and he knows it well.  But don't treat everyone else as a fool.  Our country, Great Qin, is a country of etiquette, and we do not engage in the shoddy behavior of saying one thing on the surface and doing another behind the scenes.  I have left my words here today. If your country does not withdraw the army pressing on the border in Hezhong, I will blockade the Persian Gulf for a day. Whether your country chooses to withdraw its troops or choose to go to war with me, Da Qin, is up to you.  !  " "Your Excellency, General" "Come, let's see you off!  "After Wei Ji finished speaking, he didn't bother to listen to any more nonsense from him, and immediately issued an order to expel him. As soon as Muhammad Attis was pushed to the cabin door by the soldiers, Wei Ji suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute.  Wait, if your country is willing to have good relations with me, Da Qin, please choose the most beautiful princess and send it to Da Qin to be the concubine of my Emperor, Da Qin.  " At that time, the emperor wanted to collect princesses from all over the world into his harem. Somehow it spread. Su Jin first presented a Kazakh princess, and the mission to Europe sent back a grape princess, as well as French princesses and a large number of noble ladies. This undoubtedly had a great impact on the emperor's harem.  The other generals caused great irritation. No matter where they hit, they always thought about their princess. Muhammad Attis hurried back to Bandar Abbas Port and reported what he saw and heard to Fleet Commander Husse in detail.  Because Alevi made a report, including the situation of the Qin Navy¡¯s warships: ¡°You want our country to send the princess for marriage?  snort!  "Hussein Alevi frowned together. He quickly dismissed the princess's marriage. How to deal with the immediate threat was the most urgent matter for him. Before sending Mohammed Attis to negotiate  At that time, Hussein Alevi had already realized that the source of the disaster was in the Hezhong area. He said that Safavid had no intention of spying on the Hezhong area, so it was just a matter of telling others. If it was not the Junggar tribe.  The sudden advance into the Indus River Valley changed the situation here. Isfahan intended to attack the Indus River Valley first. The army had already crossed the river. At first, he never thought that the Qin State would threaten the lifeline of the empire from the sea.  Well, not only did they come, but they also had a powerful fleet that defeated the combined navy of the Netherlands and the Mughals. According to Muhammad Attis's description, one of their ships was almost larger than the two hundred warships put together.  If there is a good location in the Hormuz River Gorge, Hussein Alevi is still a little confident. Once out of the Strait of Hormuzwait.  , at least half of his small boats are not suitable for fighting at sea. How to fight this battle? After thinking about it, Hussein Alevi decided not to go to war for the time being, and first reported the conditions of the Qin people to Isfahan, the capital.  It¡¯s up to you to drag it out if you can. In order to reduce losses, he ordered the ban on domestic merchant ships going to sea. As for those merchant ships returning to Hormuz from other countries, they can only wish for good luck.  The Great Qin Navy stationed outside the Strait of Hormuz had less to gain. Wei Ji stopped beating children in the rain and had nothing to do. He sent two scissor warships along the Strait of Hormuz.  Sailing along the Safavid coastline, they began to attack the towns along the coast. The Persian things are good; the Persian women are beautiful!  ** ps: Bow and thank you for naming it, Ba Bajiejie, chenzw999, Divine Light of Autumn, Little Fat Boy Diving, liliang261, Wing 1470, Pirate Chief, Xuanyuan Wu, chenhan, Come and Go like the Wind, Little Tiger in the Demon World  , No regrets in the past, No regrets in this life, Lu Yi Dian, Seven Color Pineapple Buns, Melancholy 8888, Millennium 11, Mama Car Buyer, Entering the Bamboo Ten Thousand Rods, Lu Sheng, Crazy Dragon 123, Do Not Disturb, Wenxuan Master  , It¡¯s a bloodthirsty mage, My dear, Spirit Wolf ¡î I regret that my classmates gave me precious moons or rewards, and I bow my thanks again.
