Chapter 1142: Persia

Tianzhu.

While Zhou Yi was preparing to implement the eastward expansion plan, Guan Tong was welcoming some special guests in Calcutta.

These guests were from Persia, a diplomatic mission sent by the King of Persia, Darnell.

This battle of Tianzhu not only had a huge impact on the Western Lands world, but also had a significant impact on the Zhongtu world.

The waves it stirred up even surpassed those in the Western Lands.

During this period, almost all people in Zhongtu knew that the Tusman Empire had encountered an incomparably powerful enemy and had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of this enemy.

Following the loss of two Grand Dukes at Tianshan, the Tusman Empire mobilized over 600,000 troops to besiege Wumu City.

But during the siege, they did not gain any advantage; instead, they lost another 200,000 to 300,000 men.

Upon learning that the Westerners had been completely wiped out in Tianzhu, the terrified Tusman people retreated, fleeing westward all the way, and even abandoned many Western Regions territories they had occupied over the years.

Conversely, the Great Song showed its sharp edge; after the Tusman Empire withdrew, the Great Song's Cavalry announced in Zhongtu the establishment of the Great Song Western Regions Protectorate.

From now on, the Western Regions Protectorate will protect the countries of the Western Regions from the aggression of the Tusman Empire.

This caused some small countries that were already dissatisfied with the Tusman Empire to immediately submit to the Great Song Western Regions Protectorate.

They were very clear that the era of the Tusman Empire dominating Zhongtu was over.

The Great Song will bring a new order to Zhongtu.

Although the Tusman people were resentful of these traitors, they were helpless.

Because they were very clear that they had no power to challenge the Great Song's Western Regions Protectorate.

They could only anxiously await an unknown fate.

It was under these circumstances that the Persian state decided to seize the opportunity to completely shake off the influence of the Tusman Empire over Persia.

From beginning to end, they were unwilling to serve as slaves to the Tusman people.

"Welcome to you all."

The Governor's Mansion in Calcutta is now the location of the General's Mansion for the Vermilion Bird Army.

Seeing the Persian envoys, Guan Tong was all smiles.

After conquering Tianzhu, he decided to set up the General's Mansion of the Vermilion Bird Army here.

For a period in the future, Tianzhu will be the bridge connecting to Zhongtu and the front line for the struggle against the Western Lands.

"Thank you," said a young man wearing a grey robe.

His name was Newman, and he was a prince of the King of Persia.

He was in charge of this diplomatic mission.

After they set out from Persia, they encountered the Great Song's diplomatic mission halfway.

After a brief exchange, Newman was very delighted.

The destination of the Great Song's diplomatic mission was precisely Persia.

It could only be said that Persia and the Great Song were thinking the same thing at the moment, and they also had many common interests.

After the pleasantries, Guan Tong ordered a luncheon to be arranged to dine with the Persian Prince Newman.

After chatting for a while, Guan Tong asked about the local customs of Persia, and Newman also asked about the situation in the Great Song, before the two officially discussed the main topic.

"It is not just your Dongtu; we in Zhongtu are also deeply poisoned by Britain."

"If it were not for the support of Britain, how could the Tusman Empire run rampant in Dongtu? Moreover, these Westerners not only support the Tusman Empire, but also directly use military force to coerce us, forcing us to sign many humiliating treaties."

"This time, your Great Song's battle in Tianzhu, which wiped out the Western Lands Coalition, really vented our anger for Persia as well. I did not expect that there would be such a powerful nation in the East, not far from our Persia," Newman praised repeatedly.

However, when he spoke, he could not hide the worry in the depths of his eyes.

These smiling expressions did not escape Guan Tong's eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he understood the key to it.

Persia sending a mission to establish contact with the Great Song this time had one purpose: to challenge the order established by the Tusman Empire in Zhongtu and restore the glory of the Persian Empire.

There was another purpose, which was likely to test the Great Song's attitude toward the countries of Zhongtu.

To prevent the Great Song from being full of aggression toward other countries, just like Britain.

If the Great Song were even more brutal to the natives than Britain, then he would only be able to continue to submit to the Tusman Empire to protect his own interests.

Thinking of this, Guan Tong smiled, "Thank you for the compliment. It is precisely because we in the Great Song cannot stand Britain's bullying of other countries that we have raised the banner of resistance against the Western Lands robbers. Our Emperor believes that there should be mutual benefit and win-win results between countries, and from now on, the Great Song will also interact with other countries according to this rule."

"Mutual benefit and win-win results?" Newman felt a slight joy in his heart upon hearing this, "Does this mean that your Great Song will not use military force to coerce us Zhongtu countries into signing unequal treaties?"

"Yes," Guan Tong nodded, "The only reason our Great Song uses military force is that our national interests have been threatened. As long as you do not harm the interests of our Great Song, we are willing to coexist peacefully and engage in equal trade."

Newman nodded slowly; the meaning of this Great Song general was already straightforward enough.

It meant if you don't provoke me, I won't attack you; if you provoke me, the Great Song will certainly pay back in kind.

"If the Great Song can do this, you will be welcomed by all the countries of Zhongtu," Newman pondered for a while, revealing a joyful expression, "Since that is the case, let us next discuss the matter of mutual benefit and win-win results. I hope that both our countries can profit from this."
