Several arrows pierced the night s

ky, shooting several charging riders wi

th red hats off their horses, but to this

group of hundreds of red-headed rider

s, this was just a pebble thrown into th

e pond. Not to be outdone, the riders

who were attacked accelerated their charge.

When the chasing cavalry saw tha

t the enemy was approaching, they im

mediately put away their riding bows u

nder the order of the officer, took out t

heir swords and lances and rushed to

wards the riders who were charging ta

wards them. Soon, the two groups of

people collided with each other. The s

cene was extremely chaotic, and the r

ed-headed riders seemed to have the upper hand

After using his saber to cut off an

unlucky red-headed rider from his hors

e, the cavalry officer briefly observed t

he battlefield and found that there wer

e mostly enemies in front of him and o

n his left and right, and his face beca

me a little ugly.

"Why haven't the reinforcements f

rom the royal capital arrived yet? If our

troops are annihilated, the Sultan's pur

suit order will not be fulfilled!"

Just when the cavalry officer was

complaining about his colleagues in hi

s heart, the reinforcements he was lon

ging for happened to arrive. However, t

he red-headed riders did not react and

allowed them to support the friendly f

orces.

As time went by, more and more c

avalry came from Tabriz. The quality w

as uneven, and the red-headed horse

men who lost their organization due to

the chaos quickly fell into a disadvant

age. However, none of them escaped

and continued to fight with religious fa

naticism. Finally, when the cavalry of t

he Aries Dynasty cut down the last rid

er, the sun had risen from the east, an

d the bodies of both sides covered thi

s mountain road.

"The bandit leader has been foun

d, sir." A soldier found the body of the r

ed-headed rider leader.

After listening to the report of the

soldiers under his command, the offic

er's nervous look relaxed a little. "With

the head of the bandit leader Ali, we s

hould be able to go back and report." T

he officer discussed with his colleagu

es next to him.

"You first take the head back to th

e royal capital and report to the Sulta

n. I will continue to lead the troops to

Ardabil to search for the rebels." The c

ommander of the reinforcements, a hi

gher-ranking officer, ordered.

"yes.

Gilan, inside the palace of Lahijan

Ibrahim sat cross-legged on the b

eautifully crafted carpet, took a piece

of baklava from the plate on the low ta

ble in front of him and put it into his m

outh, then picked up the cup, drank a f

ew sips of coffee, and started a new d

ay's work.

As a feudalized order, although th

e Safavid Order has no territory, the Sh

eikh is like their monarch to the monk

s and secular members of the order. S

ome fanatical Qizilbash even Consider

the Shaykh as God and Prophet. (Spea

king of which, the Ottoman Yenicheriswere also members of the Sufi order)

Over the years, lbrahim has used t

he advantage of being a time traveler t

o escape Rostam's pursuit. With the h

elp of the Battle of Dilan), he was pro

moted as Sheikh and continued to run

the order in place of his elder brother i

n prison.

After these years of hard work, th

e work of the sect has been going rela

tively smoothly, and it has developed

many more followers than in history

Ibrahim picked up a letter on the t

able and opened it.

This letter was a report from Ardabil, which briefly described the prison robbery and escape, and also highlighted the feats of Ali Sheikh,

After learning about his eldest bro

ther's death and confirming Ismail's sa

fety, Ibrahim opened the second letter

happily.

Ibrahim first looked at the signatu

re, and then read the contents of the le

tter. After reading it, Ibrahim looked a Iittle solemn.

This letter came from Prince Ahm

ed, a secret ally of the Order. As Rosta

m's brother, Ahmed chose to support

Rostam in the civil war and saw the ca

pabilities of the Safavid Order.

After the civil war ended, Ahmed believed that as his biggest supporter,

Rostam should share state power with

him. But he did not make a request directly, but chose to wait and see how Rostam would deal with his allies

Rostam believed that the Safavid

Order was a great threat. After taking

advantage of it, he arrested Sheikh Ali

and his brother Ismail of the Safavid Order. Qizilba lost his commander. They

were also defeated by Rostam's army.

After killing the chicken, Rostam began to appease his allies. However, Rostam did not want his own strength to be damaged, so he only gave some

money to other princes. Most of the onfiscated loser fiefs also fell to Rostam. Tam's fanny pack.

Although the princes were dissatisfied, Rostam's intimidation prevented

them from openly rebelling for the time being, but there were still many smalI actions in secret.

The mobilization ability of the sect was noticed by the princes. In order to have a better chance of winning in t

he future battle for the throne, the am

bitious princes began to secretly cont

act and fund sects in various places,such as the Safavid sect operating in Azerbaijan. regiment and the Musshasa

sect that ruled Khuzestan and Basra.

The Safavid sect, which had a deep hatred for Rostam, became Ahmed's

first choice. Because they had a common enemy and the distance was close, lbrahim naturally readily agreed to t

his alliance request and relied on this

A lot of information was obtained from the high-level alliance

Now, Ahmed, who has been preparing for three years, believes that the time is ripe and plans to launch a rebellion at this time. He hopes that the Order can attract more attention, such as

gathering an army on the coast of the

Caspian Sea and promising the Order

The military expenditures will be borne by oneself, and Tabaristan will be allocated to the order after the event is completed.

But the tone of the letter was stro

nger, and it seemed that Ahmed would

act no matter what the Safavid sect diG

"Go and call Hussein and Ali Sha

h." lbrahim ordered the guards

"As you wish, my dear Sheikh."

After a while, the staff Hussein and the lord of Gilan Ali Mirza Kakia entered the room under the guidance of the attendants, and sat on the carpet facing lbrahim across the low table.

"You should take a look at this letter first." Ibrahim handed the letter to the two of them.

After the two watched, Ali Mirza broke the silence first.

"Sheikh lbrahim, I think it is not ap

propriate to start an army now." Ali objected expressionlessly, his tone also calm. "Although you have tens of thous

ands of Qizilbashi, it would take months to assemble them, and their upkeep is beyond the Order's ability to pay.'

"What about gathering only the Qizilbash of Azerbaijan?"

"If only the Qizilbashi of Azerbaijan are gathered, then even if Ali Shah's

army is included, there will only be more than 10,000 people." Hussein, who

was sitting next to Ali, replied. "But these thousands of Qizilbash are of the best quality, both in terms of equipment

and training."

"In this case, we can't even match

Shirvan Shah in terms of numbers, let

alone Rostam. Tabriz is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Rostam has time to unite with Shirvan Shah to annihilate the Qi. Zirbash then deal with Ahmed " Ali Mirza continued to object.

"Ali Shah, if we don't send troops and watch our only ally be defeated by

Rostam, the situation of the Order will

only become more difficult." Ibrahim planned to end this topic. "Hussein, you

can go write letters to various ministries and gather in Astara. Ali Shah, my brother Ismail will be arriving soon. lI ho

pe you can arrange a good teacher for

him."

"As you wish, distinguished Sheikh." After receiving the order, Hussein stood up and left the room, but Ali Mirza did not say a word. After Hussein left, he slowly stood up and faced lbrahim. Rahim nodded and left.

Half a month later, Tabriz, the royaI palace

"Hiding in Lahijan? Ali Mirza Kakia, my most reliable ally in Tabaristan, is hiding the Safavid order?" Rostam stared at the officers and spymaster who came to report

"Yes, Your Majesty, we interrogated everyone in the city of Ardabil, searched all the buildings, captured a few rebels who participated in the operation,

and learned their general location." The officer explained first.

"After determining the general location,I sent several people disguised

as dervishes to enter Gilan. Now we can basically determine the crime of Gilan Shah." The spy chief continued to r

eport to Rostam after the officer's words.

"You guys, please retreat first."

The officer and the spymaster retreated.

Just when Rostam was about to send an envoy to negotiate with Ali Mirza, an embarrassed messenger, accompanied by guards, hurried over and shouted: "Your Majesty, there is a rebellion!"

"Huh?" Rostam expressed doubts

and then felt annoyed in his heart.

Can these talkers finish their sentences in one breath (annoyed).

"Your brother, Ahmed, has rebelled in his fiefdom!"

Rostam thought about the location of Ahmed's fiefdom, his expression

changed, and then ordered: "Quick! Go

and give an order to all the Azerbaijani

troops to gather in Tabriz."

"You," Rostam said to the guard, "go inform the messenger and ask him to go to Shirvan and let Farouk Yasar send troops to defeat Gilan!"

"yes.'

Only Ahmed is rebelling now, but if he cannot put down the rebellion as

quickly as possible, others will also rebel.

Thinking of this, Rostam didn't want to use Tabriz's city fortifications to

slowly wear out Ahmed. Now he just

wanted to gather the army and defeat

the rebels in the field as quickly as possible.

Thinking of the Safavids, Ahmed,

and the growing rebellion everywhere

Rostam felt a rage growing in his heart.

"How the hell did the country become like this?"
