The Sun and the Lion

By the time Ibrahim returned to the palace, the bow bearers had already processed Alvand's head - embalmed it with quicklime, and then put it into a simple wooden box, which was lined with cotton and satin. This head will not suffer any bumps or bumps.

And Gaolaberi also sent people to deliver the military flags he captured belonging to senior officers, totaling more than a dozen flags.

Then he summoned the surrendered generals in the palace hall, and first announced his plan to deal with them:

The Great Emir Hussein held the edict in his hand and read it loudly to everyone present: In the name of Allah, the most merciful and the most merciful! Anyone with wisdom and basic understanding knows that when It is all chaos and harassment. When the fate of the world becomes increasingly unfair, God, the supreme Lord of the universe and the Lord in charge of all things, will appoint someone to come and end the chaos to demonstrate His eternal mercy.

Therefore, I, Ibrahim, Sultan of the Safavids and King of Kings of all Iranians and non-Iranians, do not choose to reduce you to slavery because of my mercy, and I allow you to keep your flags, weapons, equipment, and personal belongings. and the people of the fiefdom, I recognize and protect the ownership of the real estate you hold and the people you rule.

go home! Unfortunate people! Go back to your fiefdom. As a protected vassal, I authorize you. If any villain who deserves to go to hell takes the opportunity to embezzle your finances and bully your wives and daughters, you will retaliate for the same behavior. go back. The obligations required to be protected are simply to pay some tribute and zakat in accordance with Sharia and to eliminate all bandits entrenched in the territory and threatening everyone's safety.

After the edict was read, the surrendered generals did not expect that the conditions would be so generous, and they discussed among themselves with expressions of surprise.

Listening to the growing discussion, Ibrahim smiled with satisfaction, and then made a gesture to ask the bow holders to maintain order at the scene.

Quiet! With the drums and shouts of the bow holders, the noise at the scene soon diminished to almost nothing.

Dear Sultan, it is unbelievable. You are so generous! God will always protect you because of your virtue, and future generations will always remember you because of your actions. Daoud Emir took the lead and was fooled. Wave licks the dog. When he listened to the edict, he heard the implication of the last paragraph. Ibrahim protected the property and fiefdom of everyone present, but what about those who were not present? It is obvious that they can attack at will, and then take the opportunity to seize the spoils and embezzle their wealth to strengthen themselves.

Moreover, Ibrahim is not bad in strength and has enough ability to fight with surrounding powers to protect his vassals and even expand everyone's interests. Ibrahim gained a group of less rebellious vassals, expanded his income and the size of his army, and both sides had a bright future.

This is a win-win situation, and it’s a win-win situation.

Moreover, Ibrahim also laid a trap. He always wanted to promote Shiaism, but this time he did not ask his newly surrendered subjects to convert.

Long live Sultan Ibrahim! I don't know who shouted first, and then under the leadership of Daoud, all the surrendered generals knelt down and shouted long live Ibrahim.

After a brief period of rainbow farts from both sides, Ibrahim finally allowed them to leave and returned to the camp to prepare for their return home. The envoys sent by Ibrahim with heads and military flags will set off ahead of them to persuade the newly rising warlords to surrender.

At that time, the conflict between the old and the new will be inevitable, and Ibrahim, who has the power to surpass the two, will not be burned by anger - they will only devour each other.

At this moment, a caliph came in and handed the letter to Ibrahim.

Sheikh, this is a letter from Sayyid Hassan Caliph of Ardabil. The priest who came faced Ibrahim, bowed carefully and reported softly.

Sayed Hassan is Ibrahim's half-brother. The previous Sheikh Haidar of the Order married two wives when he was 13 and 14 years old, and later took in an unknown number of Georgian and Circassian concubines, giving birth to a total of ten sons and four daughters. The three brothers Ali, Ibrahim and Ismail were born to his first wife, Halima, the daughter of Uzun Hassan.

However, only six of Haidar's ten sons and four daughters left their names. Although all of them lived in good health until Haidar died in the battle, Ibrahim was unable to protect the entire family. Most people failed to escape the arrests of Ye Gubai and Rostam. Even their sister Halima was arrested and imprisoned by Rostam.

Among these six places, three brothers accounted for half of the places. Only two of the four sisters left their names, and the last one was Said Hassan, who was born to his second wife Jafar.

However, his status was not high. He was just a caliph within the order. In the original history, Said did not receive the title Mirza after the founding of the country, but was assigned by his half-brother. Go to Ardabil to manage local affairs. Find bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com

Now, he is also responsible for religious affairs in Ardabil and is responsible for maintaining the local Safavid family's holy place - this must mention the worship of Wolli of the Sufist order. Wolli originally meant saints and saints. Sage, in the Sufi order, is used to honor leaders and famous scholars, martyrs, and ascetics. These people who are of great significance to the order will be respected, and their resting places will become the place where everyone pays homage. The object of pilgrimage, and Gongbei was built to facilitate believers to carry out worship activities.

Gongbei is not only used for believers to worship and pay respects, but also an area for preaching and other activities. Religious groups usually set up management agencies in Gongbei to organize religious activities and maintain mausoleums.

Said, the maintainer of the mausoleum, was also authorized to monitor the Sufi order in Azerbaijan after Ibrahim ordered the suppression of other sects and the promotion of Shia.

In the letter, Said reported to Tabriz the anomalies of the Haltivar Order - More and more heretical monks are gathering towards the border...The number of their followers is huge, and there is a strong tendency to flee across the border. …”

The Khaltiva Order is a Sunni Sufi order, and their scope of activities is also in northwest Iran with Azerbaijan as its core. Under the protection of the Aries Dynasty, they continued to grow and became a large religious order that could rival the Safavid Order. However, their armed forces were very weak.

Their Sheikh Gulshani fled the city after Ibrahim took control of Tabriz, and began organizing an escape to go to the Ottomans to seek refuge with Bayezid II, who was willing to protect them.

Go back and tell Said that all the underbelly of the Haltivar Order can be eradicated, and I will send Qizilbash to assist him... Suspicious elements on the border can also be killed and captured.
