The city of Murkala in the northeast was captured by the Manchus, and the news spread throughout the Persian Empire in less than two days.

The emperor of the Persian Empire was shaken, officials at all levels were shaken, and the people of the entire Persia were also shocked inexplicably.

For nothing else, this is the first time in more than 100 years since the founding of the Persian Empire that an important town has been captured by a nomadic people from the northeast, and this nomad has just migrated from an unknown place in the far east just two years ago.

"Damn it! Damn it! The devils from the east, they are not trustworthy, and Allah will not forgive them! The Emperor of the Persian Empire roared loudly, two days ago the envoy had just handed over the peace treaty signed with the Manchus to him, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy a few days with the imperial concubines of the harem, the Manchus tore up the peace treaty and occupied the northeastern town of Murkara, which was the fourth largest city in the empire, which was simply unforgivable.

"We must send troops and kill them all!" The Persian Emperor roared angrily.

This time, the old Persian minister did not speak.

After all, the Manchus do not abide by the contract, and the peace treaty will not have the slightest effect, and the Manchus occupy the fourth largest city of the empire, the first major town in the northeast, even if it is only a few hundred miles away from the imperial capital, with the iron cavalry of the Manchus, they can even threaten the imperial capital, and the empire really can't accept the shame of the important town being occupied by the northeast nomads.

He sighed helplessly, the big war was inevitable after all, and he didn't know if it would be a blessing or a curse for the empire.

If it can win, it will be enough, once defeated, the empire will be unsustainable, and it will not be far from destruction.

The old Persian minister was sighing, when suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred to him to an idea that would increase the chances of the empire.

"Your Majesty, the dignity of the empire cannot be insulted, and the majesty of Allah cannot be insulted, the courtier has received the news, after the Manchus entered the city of Murkara, they immediately raped and plundered the people in the city, even the mosque in Murkara City was not spared, Elder Cash was killed in front of the image of Allah because he prevented the Manchus from rushing into the mosque and disturbed Allah, and Allah instructed me to avenge Elder Kash!" The old Persian minister said with a sad face, it seems that there is really such a thing.

However, in fact, this is all made up by this old Persian minister, Dolgon led the full man to attack the city of Murkara in less than two days, plus Dolgon blocked the city of Murkala in time, none of the Persians in the city escaped, and who could pass the news to this old Persian minister so quickly.

In fact, because Dolgon intended to use the city of Murkala as the foundation for the future development of the Qing Dynasty, he did not plunder the city at all after the city was broken, let alone storm the mosque indiscriminately.

As for the Elder Cash of the mosque, he was indeed dead, but he died half a day before the Manchurian attack on the city of Murkara, and in fact, the news had only just reached the ears of the old Persian minister.

This old Persian minister deliberately wanted to frame the Manchus, because he knew that the Manchus were not followers of Allah, and the subjects of the empire were all the people of Allah, and they absolutely could not bear the occupation of the imperial city of Murkara by a pagan who did not believe in Allah, especially when he heard that the Elder Cash of Murkara City was killed in front of the statue of Allah, which was not only disrespectful to Allah, but an insult to Allah, and even more unforgivable.

"Kill those infidels and avenge Elder Cash!" There were clergy in the mosque who roared loudly.

The Persian Empire was an empire, so there were many clergy involved in the council.

There is no doubt that this old Persian minister also has a very high prestige among the clergy of the mosque, so no one doubts what he said.

"Kill them and send troops to recover the city of Murkara!"

Soon, all the clergy in the council hall roared, and a large number of imperial council officials also roared, all with one purpose, that is, to send troops to recover the city of Murkara and kill all the Manchus who insulted Allah.

Looking at the excited crowd in the council hall, the old minister of the Persian Empire smiled bitterly in his heart, for the victory of the empire, he could only choose to sacrifice his honor, I believe that when the news spreads, the soldiers and generals of the empire will also be angry.

Anger can boost the morale of the soldiers and keep the empire together temporarily.

Although the old minister of the Persian Empire is very disappointed with the current emperor of the Persian Empire, as an old minister left over from the peak era of the empire, he still hopes to do everything he can to help the empire.

I have to say that the old thing is very cunning, and it is also quite a bit of real talent, and the fact that the Safavid Persian Empire can live for a few more decades before it perishes in history has undoubtedly something to do with the existence of this old thing.

Finally, after the appointment of the Persian Emperor and the approval of the Parliament, the Persian Empire was ready to assemble an army of 170,000 men in almost the whole country, under the personal command of a marshal of great prestige named Keraed, to recover the city of Murkara.

In just ten days, the Persian Empire gathered its troops and horses and marched towards the city of Murkara.

After Dolgon captured the city of Murkalala, he expected that the Persian Empire would send a large army, so when he received the news, he was not surprised at all, and calmly prepared for battle.

In order to be able to win the battle at the smallest possible cost, Dolgon carefully arranged and brought in another trump card left on the grassland, more than 1,300 dragon breakers with flintlock pistols.

Dolgon has full self-confidence, 100,000 iron cavalry, plus 27 powerful imitation Shenwu field cannons and more than 1,300 dragon breaking troops to help, it is not a problem to defeat or even completely annihilate the 170,000 troops sent by the Persian Empire.

Since the Persian Emperor's ** team was the attacker, Dolgon did not hesitate to put the battlefield under the city of Murkara in his favor!

On March 25, the 170,000 troops of the Persian Empire marched to the city of Murkara.

Dolgon left more than 1,300 dragon breakers and 10,000 iron cavalry in the city of Murkara, and he took the remaining 90,000 iron cavalry outside the city to face the Persian Emperor's ** team.

The black crescent moon battle flag of the Persian Empire fluttered, and the 170,000 army stopped at a distance of more than 200 meters between Dolgon's 90,000 iron cavalry, and the two armies confronted each other.

Although the Persian Empire has 170,000 troops, only 10,000 of them are cavalry, and another 3,000 heavily armored soldiers, and the other 150,000 troops are all ordinary foot soldiers, occupying an absolute advantage in numbers, but Dolgon's 90,000 soldiers and horses are all iron horses, and the iron cavalry is known as the king of cold weapon warfare, and there are more than 30,000 well-armed and well-armored eight-banner iron cavalry, if you don't count Dolgon's 27 imitation Shenwu field cannons and more than 1,300 dragon breakers armed with flintlock pistols left in the city and not used at any time, The strength of the two sides is equal.

Although the twenty-seven imitation Shenwu field cannons in Dolgon's hands were revealed during the attack on Murkara City, Murkara City has been blocked by Dolgon after it was breached, so not only can the news in the city not spread, but the rest of the Persian Empire does not know that Dolgon has such a trump card in his hand, and once it is revealed again, it will also catch the Persian Emperor ** team off guard again.

All these strengths combined, Dorgon undoubtedly has a better chance of winning.

The Great War is imminent!
