Shahs of Persia

When Abbas reinforcement had arrived he continued his marsch towards Delhi, destroying the Moghul army who had blocked his way. After sieging Delhi in half a year, its garrisson finaly surrended and Abbas marsched in with his army.

Abbas had now defeated both Turks as Moghuls on the battle field, as well as conquering both Istanbul as Delhi. In Delhi he sawed marvelous things. It was no question about that the Moghul Empire was a rich nation, a very rich nation. Abbas also looked on maps, conquered in Delhi and financial reports and understood that all of India seemed to be as rich. This he would remember for the future...

As rebellions had started visiting his lands Abbas decided that what Persia needed now before all was peace, there fore he accepted a peace proposal from the Moghul Emperor, granting Kalat and Indus to Persia. Persia was now a vast Empire, stretching from Indus in the East to Tunis in the West, from the harsh steppes in the North to Zanzibar in the South. Upon his return to Isfahan, he took the title of Abbas the Great.

Abbas spend a few years in Isfahan, not only issuing orders about rebuilding the army, but also gathered several vise men, artisans, skilled craftsmen and astronomers around him. The libraries in Isfahan was full of books, both written by persians as conquered in foreign lands. Abbas him self enjoyd poetry as well as scientific works and was eager to support both persians as foreigners financially. Mosques was also build, build to the glory of Allah for giving their Shah victory against his enemies. A huge observatorium was also build. It attracted several vise men who wished to study the stars. In other words, during these years, Isfahan arose as a center of the finest culture and wisdom, and then remaind as that.

Abbas had now brought Persia in peace for a while, but he enjoyed the battle and the sweet taste of victories to much to have Persia remain in that condition for to long. Also, if he gave his enemies to much time, the may have the oppertuniry to strike against him instead, and if they was the one striking they would decide the battle field. Abbas contacted his allied, Venice and Hungary and informed them about his plans, so that they in that day when he issued the war decleration they would fall in theTurks back, as they had done many times before.

When the war decleration arrived to Istanbul and the news came out in the world, that Persia ones against declared war upon the Turks, several of Persias enemies tryed to take advantage of this. Enemies such as Nubia, Aden, Russia, Ethiopia and the Moghuls. Abbas send forces to fight the Nubians as he himself invaded the Turkish province of Trebizond. General Emir Guna Beg was send to siege the Turkish capital, Istanbul and as the the last time, the Moghuls attacked, Abbas let the Moghul forces invade Eastern Persia and slowly, by attrition, become fewer and fewer.

In fear of losing Persias trade post in East Africa, Abbas decided to bribe the Ethiopian King. 500.000 gold was payed to the heathen ruler in the south. The same amount of gold was also payed to the Russian Tzar to keep Russia out of the war. Persias strenght was focused on fighting Turkey and Nubia. The heathen Kingdom of Nubia was soon, not only neutralised, but also conquered and was thus annexed. The war against Turkey went also well and the Turkish Sultan accepted a peace witch gave Adana to Persia and Ruthenia to Hungary, Persias allies. Aden was after the fall of Nubia, convinced to sign a white peace. After these victories in the West and in the South all forces was directed against the Moghuls.

In a 6 year long campaign in India, Abbas himself led his forces to victory. The Moghuls was fiercefull opponents and more then once, their forced destroyed armies from Persia. How ever, the pure might and all the resources Abbas had in his hands finally made the war to turn to Persias favour. The last stronghold to fall in his hands was the province of Ganges, at the tip of the world it seemed. Abbas himself led the Persian forces there and after its fortress had fallen all of the Moghul Empire was in his hands. The once mighty Moghul Empire was now incorporated into Persia. Its land, its people and all its riches...

Abbas was heading home with his forces when a request came from the Doge of Venice. He wold like Persia to join a war against Turkey. Abbas who now was aging and tired of all the fightings turned it down and thus the alliance was cancelled.

One day, Yoghurt came to visit Abbas. Abbas who now was an aging man looked at Yoghurt. He had never understod why this man, this Yoghurt, was able to live through out the ages without aging abit. Yoghurt asked Abbas to look on a map over his Empire.

After have been studying the map for a short while, Yoghurt made a statement. ”I once promised your great, great, grand father Ismail I to aid Persia to its ancient glory, aid it to become as strong as during the ages of Darius back in the ancient.” Abbas nodded slowly, he knew about this promise, it had been told to every Shah since Ismail I ruled. Yoghurt continued. ”Now look on your Empire, Kyrus the Great was able to conquer an Empire from Egypt to the West to Indus in the East. An Empire that Darius also ruled.... Look at your own Empire. From Tunis in the West to Ganges in the East is your banner, the banner of Persia, waiving high in every city and every fortress. Tell me now, isnt this Empire as great as the one Kurys and Darius created, isnt it even greater!?” Abbas continued to nodd. He agreed. Yoghurt gave Abbas a smile ”So you see, my fiend, it is time for me to go... I have fullfilled my promise.” Abbas looked shocked ”What!? But... Yoghurt continued ”I must say that without your abilities and the skills of your Generals, this quest would have taken Persia some generations more to fullfill, so you Abbas, have much to be recommended for” Abbas didnt now what to say, Yoghurt had been every Shahs most trusted advisor for generations, and to see him leave... ”You also once asked me wethere I was send by Allah or a Djinn... do you remember!?” Abbas nodded once again. He remembered. ”As I answered then, I am neither one... the truth is that you, my friend, is just a character a digital number...” Abbas looked confused at Yoghurt. He didnt understand. ”...and this is just a computer game, a game that will stop here!”

Yoghurt pressed “F10” clicked on “Quit” and turned off the game. His belly was making strange sounds and he was dying for some food, when thinking of it, a sandwitch didnt sound stupid, not stupid at all....
