So, at the time of Batu's expedition to the west, Eastern Cross had not yet spread in the Rus'? It is also possible that it has begun to spread, but it is not yet as domineering as most believers, and those who do not believe will either die or leave. ’

"When you came to the East from the west with your ancestors, did the yellow-haired people like you not believe in the Crucifixion?" Yoon-hee asked.

Tie Cheng felt very strange about Yun Hee's questioning. He was young when they followed Naha out to surrender more than ten years ago, but his father was received by Zhu Yuanzhang. According to his father, Zhu Yuanzhang asked very ordinary questions at that time, and there were no such strange questions.

However, when the emperor asked, he did not dare not answer, bowed his head and said: "Among the thousands of households under the minister's control, there are indeed people who believe in the religion marked by this cross, and there are also people who believe in the Heavenly Sect. However, according to the rumors of the minister's family for generations, the people who came to the Daming realm with the ancestors of the minister did not believe this. ”

It seems that the Crusades had not yet spread in the Rus' at that time, and there were not many people who believed in them. However, tens of thousands of soldiers and dozens of thousands of households have been summoned to a person who does not believe in the Cross Religion or the Heavenly Sect. Yun Xi thought.

Yun Xi then asked a lot about the placement of people in Wuchang, and Tie Cheng answered them one by one. From Zhong Yunxi, he learned that there were four or five hundred thousand people in the vicinity of Wuchang, of which ninety percent believed in the Heavenly Sect, and according to the news he usually got when he was talking nonsense with other thousand households, most of these people were from Persia or Dashi, and a few were from India.

In addition, there are a very small number of people who come from Hezhong, the Western Regions and other places on their own. At that time, the Mongols slaughtered in Hezhong, the Western Regions and other places, leaving only more than a million locals, these people originally ran to the west and south, and then I don't know who someone came to the Central Plains once, knowing that he had become a second-class color in the Central Plains, higher than the status of the Han people, and went back to tell his friends, and after being bold, he began to come to the Central Plains of the East to be a superior person.

As for the various regulations of the Heavenly Sect, Yun Xi felt that it was a bit unreliable to listen to the narration of a Zoars who believed in Buddhism, and even if he heard it, he didn't listen very carefully; Tie Cheng should have also seen his thoughts, and quickly skipped this part.

The rest of the Semu people are basically Crucidian believers, and according to Tiecheng's words, their ancestors also came from many places, and there should be Caucasians, Ukrainians, Zorussians, Poles, etc.

These people were all snatched by Batu and his descendants back then. After all, the west of the Ural Mountains is too far away from the Central Plains, even if you read Marco Polo's travel diary and come all the way, it would be good if three out of ten could reach the Central Plains safely. Not to mention that Marco Polo was a Venetian or a Genoese, anyway, an Italian who did not exist at this time, with the speed of news transmission at this time, even if "Marco Polo's Travels" reached Urros in more than a hundred years, ordinary people would not be able to know.

The rest are those who don't believe in any religion or believe in Buddhism, and there are very few such people, according to Tie Cheng, all of them are in his thousand households, and there are only more than a hundred people; The rest, even if their ancestors did not believe it, now they all believe it.

In addition, Yun Xi also knew that most of the Han women who married the Semu people in accordance with Zhu Yuanzhang's decree were of very low origin, and they were basically bought by them - this era is different from later generations, the Han people do not have any admiration for foreign flattery, and it is very shameful for their daughters to marry Semu people, and they will be despised by all neighbors and rejected by the clansmen, Zhu Yuanzhang forbade them to marry each other, they can only buy it, and they have to buy it at a high price to buy it.

Of course, it is definitely not a purchase in name, Zhu Yuanzhang actually implemented a discriminatory strategy against the Mongols and Semu people, and it was not until Zhu Di was in power that he gave them the same treatment as the Han people, Yun Xi didn't care much about them over the years and continued the strategy of the Hongwu Dynasty, and they had a bigger problem buying slaves, so they all gave a very high bride price, and the name of marrying was actually buying.

Because these women were bought, they did not have a high status in the family, and the children they gave birth to were also counted as Semu, so the children also followed their father's belief in the Heavenly Religion or the Cross Religion.

Similarly, the average Han family is not willing to marry a woman, even if there is a large family to take a concubine, although the people do not have the right to marry their daughters freely to the same clan, but they have the right not to give the big family as a concubine, so the people who marry the women are the poorest of the Han people, because the family is poor, they often go to the father-in-law who is willing to support him, and the Han people do not care much about religion, so they often believe in Tianfang Religion or Cross Religion. Although it is only a superficial belief for the time being, it will be a true believer for several generations.

However, this point was much better after allowing the country to strictly prohibit religions other than Buddhism and Taoism, and paying salaries to local monks and Taoists who did not enter the stream.

Yoon-hee learns a lot about the Semu people from Che Sung, and his mind gradually takes shape on how to deal with them.

But Yun Xi became more and more curious about one thing, and finally asked Tie Chengdao: "Tie Qianhu, although you are a Semu person, you are neither a Tianfang Sect nor a Crucifixion, why can you know so many things related to them?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because the minister is neither a Celestial Sect nor a Crusader that he can do so. The people of these two religions want the minister to join their religion, so they know everything about the minister's inquiry, so the minister can know so many things. Tie Cheng said.

"I see."

After that, Tie Cheng felt that the emperor had nothing to say to him, and wanted to retire; But Yun Xi said, "You follow me to the palace, I still have something to tell you." ”

"Ahh Tie Cheng never dreamed that he would be stopped and questioned by the emperor, and he would even let him go to the palace?

"Thank you, Your Majesty." But he reacted immediately and said happily. No matter what the emperor wants him to do, it should not hurt him, and it should be a good thing that he can see what the palace looks like.

Yun Xi said a few more words to the guard Li Bo, and then quickly returned to the palace with him.

Yun Xi walked into the Qianqing Palace, and the auxiliary officials and housekeepers present subconsciously looked up, and then saw a very surprised scene: His Majesty was followed by a yellow-haired, blue-eyed, high-nosed, dark-eyed man!

Now the Ming Dynasty is not without people with color eyes, but there are very few of them, and they are all black or brown haired, and the gap between them and the Han people is relatively small, and they have never seen such color people.

However, Yun Xi didn't care about their expressions at all, and said to Wang Xi first: "You personally go to Xuanluo Guanzhong, the Department of Cultural Propaganda, to come here to see me." No, Luo Guanzhong is old, so let's let Si Cheng Wu Yuchao come over. ”

"In addition, you send a guard to Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division and pass Qin Song over."

Wang Xi took the order.

Yun Xi said to Jin Shan: "You stop what you are doing and come to prepare a few holy decrees for me." ”

Jin Shan immediately put down the fold in his hand, took out about five blank silk silks from Yun Xi's table, and picked up the pen again to wait for Yun Xi's words.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said that the decree will stop the marriage of the first year of Hongwu from now on. The order of the Mongol marriage remains unchanged, and it is admired. ”

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict that from tomorrow onwards, from the date of arrival in the capital, Han women are strictly forbidden to marry into the family of Semu, and those who have been engaged and have not yet married shall not marry if the marriage contract is dissolved. Violators, regardless of Han people or color eyes, will be confiscated into the official slavery by eighty rods, and they will be enslaved. ”

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and said, from tomorrow onwards, from the date of arrival in other places, regardless of Han people, Mongolians, and Semu, it is strictly forbidden to slaughter ploughing cattle without permission, and violators will be confiscated into the official slavery with eighty rods, and they will be enslaved."

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and reiterates the order of the emperor in the fourteenth year of Hongwu: Semu needs to wear pigskin boots, and is not allowed to ride.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said, although Semu is not a Chinese race, but between heaven and earth, there are people who can know etiquette and righteousness and are willing to be subjects, which is no different from the Chinese people to raise. In order to prevent the Han people from mistaking it, the naturalization of the Chinese color eye, the yellow household registration certificate is specially issued, and there is no need to be limited by the color eye. ”

When this holy decree was about to arrive, Yun Xi said to Tie Cheng: "I have just asked the guards around me to order the ship you are on to stop for the time being and not to go to Guangxi. ”

"From now on, you and all the people in your thousand households who do not believe in either the Heavenly Sect or the Cross Religion are no longer Semu people, you are Han Chinese, and I will immediately order someone to make a yellow household registration certificate and issue it to you."

"All of you and your families have also moved to the capital and no longer live in Wuchang. Hereditary official positions, I arrange for the same official positions to be replaced in the Jingwei. ”

"You write down the names of all the generals and soldiers of your thousand households who do not believe in either the Heavenly Sect or the Cross Religion, and I have them drawn out, and immediately order the generals of the Huguang Metropolitan Division to move all their families to the capital according to the list you wrote, and allocate land and houses to live in the capital."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tie Cheng immediately knelt down and said excitedly. The left side of the capital is the most prosperous place in the world, much better than the place in Wuchang; And I heard that the guards in the capital have Yulu, and in the local area, only the guards of the vassal king have Yulu, and they didn't have Yulu before.

As for those who failed to get to the capital, although they knew that they were definitely going to be unlucky after listening to the holy decree dictated by His Majesty just now, what does this have to do with him? He was a Buddhist, and he was tired of listening to those people 'buzzing' about the Gospel of the Lord or the greatness of Allah every day! It's great to get rid of them.

Yun Xi immediately asked the little eunuch next to him to hand him a pen and a few pieces of paper, and a Chinese scholar vacated a table for Tie Cheng to sit on the table and write the list.

After that, Yoon-hee looked at Kim Shan again, only to see Kim Shan put aside the few copies of the previous draft, and pulled out a few blank copies of the holy decree from his desk, waiting for his next words.
