Chapter 67: Counterattack + Secret Weapon (4,000 words)

In the history of the previous life, there was a considerable period of time when Western sects were blocked from the Western Regions by the Central Plains religion, why did Jin Dada's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" Mingjiao set up its headquarters in Kunlun? It's not because they want to be mysterious, it's not because Kunlun Mountain is high and dangerous, and it's not easy for others to hit it, the most important reason is that the Central Plains has been occupied by various major sects, and they can't go east, so they can only nest in Kunlun Mountain. It was not until later that they overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty by means of war, and then entered the Central Plains, but it is a pity that the rivers and mountains they shed blood and tears were calculated by Zhu Yuanzhang, kicked them away, and rendered them, and turned into the so-called Demon Sect.

And although it is said that foreign monks are good at chanting, but for the Central Plains, they are also very resistant to foreign monks, after all, no one is anyone, who knows what their details are? For example, Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty and the War of the Three Kingdoms for nearly three hundred years, although Buddhism was not destroyed, it did not improve at all, and it can only be said that it has gained a foothold in the Central Plains, let alone any development.

When did Buddhism really arise? It was in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Wuhu Chaohua almost destroyed the culture of the Han people in the north, Taoism was naturally among them, and Buddhism also took advantage of the situation at that time, entered the eyes of the rulers, and after decades of development, it formed a grand scene of '480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain'.

Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism are the same for foreign sects, even if they enter the Tang Dynasty, without the support of the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty, how long will it take for them to gain a firm foothold in the Tang Dynasty and become the mainstream sect of the Tang Dynasty?

I'm afraid it won't work without three or five hundred years - Mingjiao is the best example, they have been introduced to the Central Plains since the Tang Dynasty, but it was not until the end of the Yuan Dynasty that they made their own voice, and then Zhu Yuanzhang was yin and suppressed into the White Lotus Sect.

But for today's religious sacrifices, where are they willing to develop so honestly for three to five hundred years? The future is unpredictable, and who knows what the world will look like in three to five hundred years?

Therefore, the current Western sects are in a dilemma, the Tang Dynasty is now the most powerful country in the world, they want to enter this place and turn this place into their holy land, but they are resisted by the local religion and the government and the opposition, so that they can hardly gain a foothold.

Now that Li Zhen is willing to help them, this is simply great news for them, what about changing the doctrine a little?

In some respects, doctrine is indeed the foundation of a religion, but it is nothing compared to the development of a religion.

As long as you can get Li Zhen's help, let alone change the doctrine, even if you deify Li Zhen and render him as the wisdom embodiment of their main god, Ahura Mazda (the god of wisdom and the supreme god of Zoroastrianism).

Of course, for this point, Li Zhen is not sensitive. You say that he is a dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of god should he be? It's right to be a local god - but in the Tang Dynasty, because of the descendants of Zhenyuan Daxian, his reputation is almost the same as that of the immortals, and it is said that some people have set up tablets for Li Zhen and visited them every morning and dusk......

Although he rejected the kindness of Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, Li Zhen still supported their missionary work in the Tang Dynasty and helped them build some temples, but in the past two years, the power of Taoism and Buddhism has increased greatly, especially Buddhism, Tianzhu Buddhism and local Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty have gradually integrated, and the power of Buddhism has almost doubled upward.

In the face of the invasion of Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, Buddhism also showed strong combat effectiveness, despite Li Zhen's covert support, but Buddhism had already regarded the Tang Dynasty as their own place, and dealt a head-on blow to these two invaders.

Coupled with the fire in the backyard of the two major religions (the foundation of the two major religions is in Persia, but Persia has been wiped out by the Great Eclipse, Islam began to exert force in the local area, and gradually suppressed the two religions, and the two religions were almost unable to gain a foothold in the homeland), so the level of combat was greatly reduced, so that under the double offensive of Buddhism and Taoism, although it barely gained a foothold in the Tang Dynasty, it was also very difficult to further develop - unless Li Zhen ascended the throne and swept away the Persian homeland, the two major sects could develop.

It's just that they were attacked by the two major sects, Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism were obviously unwilling, but those two sects were really powerful, and they couldn't find a loophole for a while, so they simply smeared the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism from practical actions - so Manichaeism established the Buddha Pirate Group, and Zoroastrianism established the Tianzun Mercenary Group......

"In other words, this Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism were supported by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Although he is a Taoist elite, Li Daoyun has been in the navy all these years, and rarely has contact with Taoism, so he doesn't know the secret, at this time, after listening to Cheng Chuliang's explanation, Li Daoyun also knew the secret: "In this case, why did they participate in the assassination of the prince?" Don't you see it's just the Buddha pirate group, isn't it the people of Tianzun who are floating in the gossip map? It stands to reason that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind to them, why are they still involved in such an action? ”

"This is not enough to swallow the elephant." The corners of Cheng Chuliang's mouth hooked up a sneer: "Just like the royal merchant group, Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism are also divided into several forces. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that these two major religions were Adou who could not be supported, so his investment in them gradually decreased...... This undoubtedly annoyed some of them, although their great elders were watching, they didn't dare to make a mistake on the surface, but the small actions in the secret have never been broken, and now they dare to appear blatantly, intending to assassinate the prince above the sea - what did the mastermind behind the scenes promise to make these undisciplined people switch sides? You must know that although they have no discipline, they are still very smart, and they shouldn't know what the consequences of an assassination failure are, right? ”

"This is the so-called Shengmien Doumi Hatred, right?" Li Daoyun also frowned slightly after hearing this: "It seems that our Daomen's reaction is right, these alien sects are really not good things, they are not greedy enough, ungrateful, you are their uncle when it is beneficial to them, once they feel that you can no longer give them benefits, they will immediately turn their faces and deny people, and even bite you back...... How could such a religion enter the Tang Dynasty? Keeping them out of Datang is the most correct response...... Although I don't think much of Buddhism, I have to say that this time they did a really good job. ”

Cheng Chuliang glanced at Li Daoyun strangely, although he understood his careful thoughts, but he didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement: "These ungrateful dogs are simply a group of white-eyed wolves that can't be raised, why was His Highness blind at that time and favored them?" What do you think all of this stuff has been brought in? If I had known, I would have objected to it—no, it's not too late, and when this is over, I'll give advice to the prince." ”

"This is not necessary, I think His Highness has already regretted it at this time, and after this matter is over, it should be settled after the autumn." Li Daoyun said, but he was very happy in his heart, these people are really a group of pig opponents, they didn't do anything at all, they actually jumped out like this - sure enough, they are barbarians, and if you have milk, you are a mother, the prince just pays less attention to you, you are actually dissatisfied, and others just gave a little promise, and they completely betrayed the prince...... Now I want to see what kind of fate you will face after the prince escapes this catastrophe?

"Let's not talk about settling accounts after the autumn now, let's find a way to solve the difficulties in front of us." Cheng Chuliang pointed to the enemy ship that was burning: "The enemy is not too stupid, and he didn't send himself to our guns in one breath, otherwise where is His Highness's turn to make a move, I can burn them all to death with the Spitfire alone." ”

"It's common sense, right? If it were me, I would do the same. Li Daoyun rolled his eyes, and he didn't have a good air.

It turned out that the burning enemy ships were the first group to rush to the front, or the vanguard ships, and the rest of the ships were hanging far behind, and as long as they were careless, they would immediately disperse - after all, today's things were too smooth, and it didn't seem like Li Zhen's means at all, so it was also appropriate to be cautious.

Now seeing that the Datang warship was really unwilling to be captured, and used such a terrible weapon, it suddenly dispersed in an instant like a frightened flock, and at the same time, it adjusted the muzzle of the cannon again, aimed at the Datang warship, and was about to open fire.

"It's just that in this case, we won't be able to hold on." Looking at the warships scattered far away, Cheng Chuliang showed a wry smile, the fire just now only burned less than thirty ships of the enemy, which means that the enemy at this time has at least one hundred and fifty ships, and the Spitfire is already his most powerful weapon at present, but because the range is not enough, it can only become an ornament. In addition, because of the encirclement of the enemy just now and the crowding of the burning wreckage of the enemy ships at this time, the Quanzhou fleet detachment has once again formed a circle formation, and it is completely surrounded in place and cannot move.

"There's no way, get ready to fight hard." In the face of such a posture of the enemy, Li Daoyun had no other way but to do so.

"Well, since they want my life, let me tell them that my life is not so easy to take." Cheng Chuliang swung his fist down violently and said decisively.

"Governor, Your Highness has sent an order to spread all the ships as far as possible." Just when Cheng Chuliang and Li Daoyun were about to fight hard, he finally got the order he had been waiting for.

"Yes, Your Highness is wise." Cheng Chuliang had a smile on his face, he just wanted to shout long live His Highness now, this was really thrilling and exciting.

As for the many ways to get out of the predicament, although the enemy's encirclement is still there, they have already withdrawn a mile away for fear of the power of the Spitfire, and as for the wrecks that stand in the way, it is even easier to deal with...... Although this kind of thing is not used for gang jumping in the artillery era, it doesn't mean that there is no such thing on the ship, after all, ships need this thing to connect the ship to the dock.

Hook rejection is actually what we call a springboard, both on and off the ship need to use this thing, and the hook rejection is on top of the further development, not only can be used on the ship, but also can be used in naval warfare, when the enemy is at a disadvantage, the "hook" can hook the enemy's ship, do not let it escape; When the enemy is in an advantageous position, "rejection" can resist the enemy's ship and prevent it from pursuing, or when the enemy uses the fireboat to attack, it can also be used to block or tow the fireboat away, so as not to let the fireboat get close to their own warship - here is an explanation, here is not the kind of hook rejection of weapons, there are two kinds of hook rejection, one is a weapon, similar to a combination of Ge or halberd, and the other is the equipment on the ship, but the effect is almost the same, but the weapon hook rejection can only be used on small boats, The large hook can even hook or push away the enemy's large warships such as building ships.

And although it was not the enemy's fireship attacking his own side in front of him, there was indeed a fireship approaching his warship, and even blocked the route of his warship, so Cheng Chuliang immediately sent a hook to refuse, and easily dragged the wreckage of the enemy ship that was still burning to the side.

And even more fortunately, I don't know if Datang's actions at this time confused the other party, or if there was a conflict within the other party, or they felt that they had won the game, and planned to tease themselves first, and finally give themselves a thunderous blow...... No matter what the reason is, in short, the enemy did not attack during this time, which made Cheng Chuliang shout lucky - although he is not too afraid, there are still a lot of shells anyway, but if he can not die, it is better not to die after all.

"Hurry up, hurry up, disperse." The shipwreck was pushed away, and the fleet finally had room to move, Cheng Chuliang immediately commanded the fleet to disperse, even if Li Zhen's killer weapon didn't work, it was always good to reduce a little casualties.

"What is this?" Just after the fleet had just dispersed, Li Daoyun asked in surprise.

"What?" Cheng Chu looked fixedly, and what surprised Li Daoyun was a kind of small boat - not a destroyer, but dozens of small ships smaller than a destroyer, I am afraid that it is not only a displacement of dozens of tons, the size of this ship does not matter, and what surprised Li Daoyun is the number of this kind of ship, he has always followed the fleet, and he is also the big steward of the fleet (the chief of staff is not there), he knows very well how many ships there are in the fleet, but he has never seen this kind of ship, not to mention that there are so many of them, where did this ship come from?

There's another chapter to come.
