"What should I call him?"

"Can you call a slap."

"Paipa? What does it mean?"

"It's what dad meant..."

"Moli, what are you talking nonsense? I am an angel of the Song Dynasty. How can I call a Western charlatan Dad?"

"But everyone here calls that..."

"No, no, change one."

"That is called the bishop of Rome, the representative of Christ, the successor of the disciples, the supreme priest, the patriarch of the West..."

"It's too long to remember, make a little more streamlined."

"Then call him the Great Dharma King of Christianity."

"Great Dharma King? This is good..."

Ji Yi and Moli, who were standing outside the disrepaired Roman wall on a horse waiting for the arrival of Christian Dharma King Passha II, had already known that the Song Dynasty Navy defeated the Jura Fleet in the Sanfoqi Strait, and also that the Emir Sanjar of the Seljuk Empire had sent troops to aid the Lion King of the Karakhan Dynasty.

Both of these news were brought from Jerusalem by Anna Komunina and Belgium while staying in Amalfi City, the capital of the Republic of Amalfi.

While Ji Yi and Meli were visiting the Italian city-states, Anna Komunina was also busy carrying out her diplomatic activities. She first reached an agreement to send troops together in Venice and Odrafer Ferillo, the governor of the Republic of Venice. This was not difficult. It was not the era when Venice rebelled and built on the Eastern Roman Empire.

Today's Republic of Venice is still a nominal vassal of the Eastern Roman Empire. In order to get the support of Venice, Alexus I generously gave Venetian merchants the privilege of doing business without duty. Therefore, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Republic of Venice are still in a period of friendly life like honeymoons!

Moreover, the transactions that "invest" in the United States of Sinai are always profitable no matter how you look at it.

According to Ji Yi's suggestion, the Venetian Republic's investment in the United States of Sinai was divided into two parts. Part of it was to directly invest in at least 50 fully armed standing warships, 100 armed merchant ships and an additional 1,000 heavy mercenaries (not counted in warship sailors) for the attack on the Sinai Peninsula.

The second part is a loan. The title of Emperor Zhao Ji (this is the first time that the title of "Emperor Who owns the Four Seas" appears. It is actually a translation error, and it actually means being rich in all seas) provides a guarantee for the Eastern Roman princess Anna Komningna to borrow 1 million Nomisma gold coins or Heperen gold coins from the Republic of Venice (the latter was newly issued by Alexius I) for military expenses against the Sinai Peninsula.

Of course... If Anna Komunina didn't pay the bill in the end, the Republic of Venice wouldn't really go to Kaifeng Prefecture to ask for money.

In fact, what Governor Filirelo really wanted was a "tributary", that is, the Republic of Venice represented the Roman Empire and sent a large delegation (also a merchant group) to pay homage to the emperor of the Song Empire who owned all over the world.

Of course, the tribute missions of the Roman Empire were tax-free! And along the way, they would also be protected by the Song Dynasty Navy. How could the profits you can make in this trip have a few million Nomisma gold coins.

After receiving support from the Republic of Venice, Anna Komningna traveled to Serbia and brought Stephen and his son. The two father and son came forward to recruit knights who were willing to settle down in the Sinai Peninsula according to the agreement signed by Anna Komningna and they were signed by these Serbian knights as mercenaries before the Sinai Peninsula returned to God's glory. After the revival of the Sinai Peninsula, they received the manor in the Sinai Peninsula as vassals.

For those little knights who cannot inherit the family business (the knights are inherited by the eldest son), the conditions offered by Anna are too attractive.

Not only can they get a salary, but they can also receive the fiefdom they have always dreamed of! And this fief is also located on the Sinai Peninsula, the future East-West trade toll station... This is much better than the fiefdom in the Serbian ravine.

After receiving the support of the Serbian knights, Anna Komunina hurriedly traveled to Jerusalem to meet King Baldwin I.

Of course, the attack on the Sinai Peninsula is indispensable for the participation of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. In the city of Jerusalem, Anna Komunina met Belgium who had just arrived from Baghdad. She also learned the latest news from Belgium from Belgium.

The Navy of the Great Song Empire defeated the fleet of the Brahman Jura Kingdom in the Indian Ocean (near the west entrance of the Sanfoqi Strait), and once again swore their maritime rights in the East Indian Ocean.

Another news is even more amazing. The army led by Emir Sanjar of the Seljuk Empire may have fought with the army of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!

This is amazing! The most terrifying enemy of Christianity, the powerful Emir Sanjar, will soon be beaten by the emperor in the East who has all the seas! This must be God's gift to Christians!

The news reached the city of Rome, and church bells and songs praising God were immediately heard everywhere in the city.

The Ji Yi delegation, who was originally neglected by the Holy See (Ji Yi is too close to the Orthodox Church, and the Holy See is of course unhappy), immediately sent the cardinal, Vigido, son of the Duke of Burgundy, to the Four Seas of Italy to welcome the Ji Yi delegation stranded there to the city of Rome.

...

A gate on the ancient Aurelian wall finally slowly opened to the distant Song Dynasty mission.

Because Pope Pascha II and the Roman people's king Henry V (the leader of Shenluo, because the Pope refused to crown him, he did not have an emperor's name) had a dispute over the bishop's right to resign. There was also news that Henry V was about to lead his army to Rome, so the city of Rome was set up, and most of the city gates were closed all day long.

This tense situation is also the reason why Passha II welcomed Ji Yi's mission with high standards. The world of Tianfang Cult in the East has obviously fallen into an unprecedented crisis. This is of course an opportunity for Western Christians. Now it is time to let go of all disputes, put aside all disputes, and launch the Second Crusade.

The goal this time will be the Sinai Peninsula and the prosperous Egypt! If the cross can be established in the area where Alexandria and the pyramids are located, the merits of Passha II will undoubtedly be comparable to those of his predecessor Urban II. Maybe it can go further, complete the merger of the East and West Churches, and put the entire Christian world under the rule of the Pope...

First of all, the one who came out of the city gate was a team of knights wearing chain mail. The number was not large, only a few dozen riders, two rows were listed on both sides of the city gate, and waiting quietly.

Then Ji Yi saw more than a dozen sedan chairs wearing red clothes walking slowly from the city gate with a probably red high-backed armchair (Pont's seat). On the chair was also an old man in a complicated white robe and a white hat on his head. There were also two big white fans made of bird feathers, holding one behind the old man.

"Mr. Ambassador, that is His Majesty, Pope Pascha II!"

Anna Komunina spoke in Arabic while getting off the horse and curtsyed to the high-ranking Pope.

"Remember, that old charlatan is the Christian Dharma King, named Passha II."

Because Christianity once persecuted the Manicheans in Europe, Mori naturally would not have anything good to say.

"Oh, it looks a little daoheng." Ji Yi bowed to the Dafa King on the back of the horse and smiled, "Your Highness, the official is Ji Yi, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and this is a polite person!"

Mori already speaks Latin, so she acts as a translator.

"His bishop of Rome, we are emperors of all the worlds. The mission sent by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was ordered to discuss business, missionary affairs with the monarchs of Western countries, and seek knowledge from various countries."

The emperor who possessed all over the world? When the Roman Dafa King heard this name, he turned his attention to Baldwin, who followed his throne and walked out of the city, was Baldwin I's younger brother. He told the pope about the Song Dynasty's domination of the Indian Ocean and the war with the Turkic Emir Sanjad.

"Baldwin, what does it mean to have an emperor in all directions?" the Pope asked.

"The Holy Father (just papa)," Baldwin reported immediately, "that is, the emperor ruled the four oceans of the Peach Blossom Stone. It is distributed in the southern ocean to the south of the Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom, the eastern ocean to the east of the Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom, the northern ocean to the northeast of the Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom, and the Indian Ocean!"

"Southern Ocean", "East Ocean" and "Northern Ocean" are both names given by Wu Haogu, who drew a world map that excludes "unknown continents" such as North America, South America, Oceania, Antarctica.

The sea area in the Nanyang Islands was marked as the "Southern Ocean", the ocean east of Japan was marked as the "Eastern Ocean", and the ocean north of Japan was marked as the "Northern Ocean".

Of course, these three "oceans" are all Zhao Ji's territory! Adding to the Indian Ocean, Zhao Ji is now the emperor with all the seas. If we use the language of Mongolia and Zubu, it is Emperor Genghis!

It sounds scary! Maybe it can scare the Jurchens...

"This Peach Blossom Stone Emperor really ruled four oceans?" The Pope was a little unbelievable.

"Yes!" said Baldwin. "His empire is extremely vast, the largest empire in the world ever, and the richest and most populous... It is said that there are 100 million people!"

One hundred million people!? The Pope thought to himself: It would be great if one day the faith of Christ could be there to be generous and glorious.

"Welcome to you, the messenger of the emperor from all over the world! You are a guest of Rome and my friend. May the Lord bless you."

The Pope spoke Christian polite words and invited the Jiyi delegation to the already depressed city of Rome.
