Chapter 1448 Bright World
In the spring of 1131, Daburishi Prefecture, western Daliao.
Wang Zonghan, the prince of the Golden Horde, Yelu Dashi, the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom, and the saint Mo Niangzi of the Guangmingding, finally met in this ancient city that combines Middle-earth and Persian architectural styles.
The significance of this meeting cannot be overstated for Western history.
It is precisely because of this meeting that a new world was born on the prairie of Ceylon, Persia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe. The world will expand to various parts of the Black African continent later.
This world is not a world in the geographical sense, but a world in the religious sense, called the world of light or the world of light and heavenly principles!
"Your Highness, my son is a Persian, and he is very familiar with Western religious affairs. Western countries have always established their own countries with religion and protected their countries with religion. Whether Christianity or Tianfang Buddhism, they are religions used to eliminate dissidents and protect their countries.
And your Golden Horde, like the Great Liao Kingdom, is a foreign country that comes from more than 20,000 miles away. The number of nations is small, only a few hundred thousand. If there is no powerful religion to rely on, then it will take not many years for your Golden Horde to be overwhelmed by countless Persians, Sarasen, Turks, Slavs, and Romans who believe in Christianity and Tianfang Sect!”
The one who was telling Wang Zongbi was the saint Mo Maiden of Guangmingding.
She was telling Wang Zongbi the fact that in this Western land, one cannot rely solely on the knife, but also the blessing of religious power.
The reason is very simple. The Western Liao and Jin tents have few people, the core countries are only a few hundred thousand people, and the warriors are only about 100,000. No matter how powerful you are, you can still kill tens of millions of Turks, Sarasen, Slavs, Romans, and all kinds of other people?
it's out of the question!
Even if the Western Liao and Jin Hordes were quick and their hearts were ruthless, the Eastern Song and Great Zhou in the East would not agree because Rome, Dashi, Egypt and other countries were important markets for industry and commerce in the Song and Zhou countries.
Moreover, the goods of Zhou and Song dynasties were exported to Western Europe through the territory of Rome, Dashi, Egypt and Western Liao!
This key trade channel is now controlled by four equally powerful countries or forces. The four countries or forces can restrain each other and will not lead to a single dominance and completely control the large territory known as the Middle East in the future.
Therefore, the Zhou and Song dynasties would not sit idly by and watch the Western Liao and Jin Hordes start a massacre in any case, and the Western Liao and Jin Hordes will not dare to attack.
Besides, the countries of the Western Liao and Jin Hordes must be masters!
If you kill all the people below, how can you be the master? Who will be exploited? Should you work to get rich by yourself?
This is certainly impossible!
Since it is impossible to start a massacre, we can only use religious power to defend the regimes and national power of the Western Liao and Jin Hordes.
"If there is no religion that can be used by the Great Liao and Jin Hordes and is powerful, then it will not take long for the two countries to be surrounded by Christians and Tianfang disciples. Some of their banners will be affected, while others will be accompanied by danger and loneliness."
Moli said with certainty: "It won't take long, maybe it's only one or two generations. The nations of the Daliao and Jinzhang will be divided due to whether they convert to Christianity and Tianfang Cult. Christianity and Tianfang Cult will also participate in the struggles within the nation. Their power will become greater and greater, and they will only encounter temporary setbacks, and they will not encounter real defeats. The final victory must belong to them!"
Wang Zongbi didn't say a word, just listened quietly.
He is a philosopher, and he has personally experienced the process of spreading and developing the Tianli Sect among the Jurchens. Of course, he can understand what Mo Niangzi said.
In addition, he also understood what the teachings of Christianity were. On his way to Tabriz, he had been reading the Bible translated by Constant's capital. The New Testament. Now he knew how Christianity could fool people.
As for the Quran of the Tianfang Sect, when Wang Zongbi was preparing for the 24,000-mile expedition, he obtained the Chinese translation from the Great Zhou Republic Army. This was a translation organized by the Tianli Sect Doctoral Order. It not only had very good translations, but also had a large number of annotations and historical materials.
It can help Zong Bi understand the principles passed down by the prophet very well
The truth is of course good, but that is what others say!
If the Jinzhang Kingdom wants to gain a foothold in the Eastern European grasslands and the Qincha grasslands, it must have its own reasons.
Oh, they happen to have one, which is the Tianli Sect.
However, after understanding Christianity and Tianfang Cult, Wang Zongbi also discovered that the Tianli Cult in the Ph.D. had defects of being too loose and free.
The Tianli Buddhism of the Doctorate is more like a school than a religion with strong cohesion and combat power.
Because it emphasizes the exploration of the laws of nature and adopts a more tolerant position towards various human desires.
In contrast, the Tianli Sect of the Xiliang Education and Culture Group is much more extreme. Xiliang is already in a very difficult environment. Without a strong religion, there will be no power from all over the country to gather.
However, the Jurchens have always accepted the Tianli Sect of the Doctorate, and now they are likely to suffer losses when they go to the West.
Therefore, Wang Zongbi was moved by the proposal of Mo Niangzi.
Mo Niangzi suggested forming a tripartite alliance with the participation of "Guangming Tianli", the Western Liao Empire and the Jin Horde: Guangming Tianli will educate the people of the Western Liao and Jin Hordes, so as to establish a bright world that can compete with the Christian world and the Tianfang Cult world.
Of course, the policy of religious freedom must be maintained! All religions, including Tianfang religion and Christianity, can be spread freely and peacefully in the Western Liao and Jin tents.
However, religious freedom does not mean that there is no control at all, nor does it mean that the state religion is not advocated.
For example, the current Dashi Kingdom also has a policy of religious freedom, and there are many synagogues and Christian churches in Baghdad, but the Tianfang religion has always been the national religion of Dashi.
In Britain, the birthplace of the industrial revolution in later generations, for a long time, they also insisted that the Anglican Church of England were the Anglican Church.
As for the gradual withdrawal of politics from religious activities, the situation of equality and even politeness between the Sage and the Tianfang Cult, it was unimaginable for most of the 18th century, the 19th century and even the 20th century!
And now it's only the 12th century
"But Guangming is on Ceylon Island," Wang Zongbi did not agree to Moli's request immediately, but asked a question, "Is it too far from the Great Liao and the Jin Horde?"
Yelu Dashi took over the topic and said with a smile: "Wu Shu, I and Moli have discussed the location of the Holy See. For the time being, they can be placed on Ceylon Island, and a new Guangmingding can be built in Baku along the Caspian Sea coast."
Baku has been part of Persian civilization since the sixth century AD, and now it belongs to the Dashi Empire together with the entire Azerbaijan.
"Baku is the territory of the Great Liao!" Wang Zongbi said, "It's probably inappropriate to be a Holy See? Why not find a valley in the Caucasus mountains and establish a Holy See."
Dashi smiled and said, "I plan to give all Baku and the entire Apshelon Peninsula to the Holy See. From now on, the warriors of the Great Liao and the Jin Hordes will jointly defend the safety of the Holy See."
Wang Zongbi still refused to nod.
Dashi and Moli looked at each other, and Moli said: "Baku is located on the east side of the Caucasus Mountain. If the Daliao and the Jin Hordes are bounded by the Caucasus Mountain, Baku will just jump between the two countries."
"Okay!" Wang Zongbi laughed, "If we can use the Caucasus Mountain as the boundary, it is impossible to place the Holy See in Baku. However, whether our country will convert to the principles of light and heaven, we must discuss with the Lords of Meng'an. The saint might as well follow us down to a Golden Treasure City."
Dashi said: "I have several galleys in Astala. The prince can take a galley with the Saint to walk the Volga River in the Caspian Sea to the Golden Chamber."
The slanting of the Golden Treasure City of Mo was very successful. Although the Golden Treasure Kingdom and the Great Liao were enemies in the east, when they went to the west, they each had rich territory and common opponents, so of course they had to join the group to vote.
The emergence of the light of heavenly principles made these two sides find common ground, and they all believe in the law of heaven!
The alliance between the two countries and the conversion to the principles of light will forever change the form of the Western world.
A Guangming Tianli Sect, which is enough to compete with Christianity and Tianfang Cult, was born!
"Guangming Tianli Sect, hehe, I didn't expect that the Manichaeism would turn over!"
"Sir, our embassy in Ceylon Island has also received news that Guangming Tianli is planning a exploration of the Black Continent≥ and said that he also wanted to go around the Atlantic Ocean along the Black Continent."
"Well, what should we do?"
In the Wu family mansion in Tianjin, Wu Haogu asked his son Wu Yijiu, "Or would you send a few boats to search for the Black Continent?"
Wuyi Jiuyi, "The government has no such plan. It will cost millions to search the Black Continent once, right? With this little money, it is better to explore the New Continent again. This time, you can start from Liangshan Town and travel east along the Guifang Islands east of Yinzhou to see if you can find a place to settle down in the north of the west coast of the American continent."
Now Wuyijiu knows that Yinzhou, the Kamchatka Peninsula, is not part of the New World.
Because the colonial pioneers in Liangshan Town established contact with the savage Jurchens on the peninsula, they learned from them that Yinzhou was originally a peninsula and was connected to the continent in the far north of the Zhou Kingdom, so they were naturally not part of a new continent.
At the same time, the Discovery Number, which was carrying out a search mission east of the Yinzhou Peninsula, found the coast of another unknown continent.
This continent is of course the real American continent.
