Chapter 380: Infiltrated Bulgaria
It is precisely because there are some border conflicts between the Bulgarian Kingdom and the Huaxia Empire that the envoys of the Bulgarian Kingdom still know a thing or two about the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Emperor's ** team.
The army of the Chinese Empire defeated the army of the Kingdom of Bulgaria several times with fewer enemies and more enemies, and the whole of the Bulgarian Kingdom was very afraid of the Chinese Empire.
Speaking of which, the Kingdom of Bulgaria is also pitiful, thinking that Bulgaria was also strong for a while, and attacked the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire several times, and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was very afraid of them.
However, since the partition of Bulgaria, some of the Bolgars have gone to the north to maintain their traditions, and some of the Bolgars have remained in the present-day land of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
Originally, the Bulgarian Khanate could maintain its strength for a while, but they had been defeated by the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, which changed their culture and religion.
They converted to Orthodox Christianity, the state religion of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and their Bolgars, who excelled in mounted archery, embraced Slavic culture.
There was nothing wrong with this, and although the Bulgars embraced Slavic culture, they were still strong for a while.
Until, the Chinese Empire rose strongly, and the Chinese Empire swept through the north, attacking the Rus region and the Ruthenian region.
The Magyars, who occupied parts of Ruthenia, had to move gradually southward, while the Chinese Empire attacked to the south.
However, you must know that part of the southern part of the Ruthenia region of the Chinese Empire is the territory of the Kingdom of Bulgaria!
But now, the Magyars are subjugated to the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, and the originally large territory of the Bulgarian Kingdom has been torn off by the Chinese Empire.
Later, the Kingdom of Bulgaria also tried to ask the Chinese Empire for that part of the territory, but the Chinese Empire ignored it.
The Chinese Empire also had its own reasons, and the Chinese Empire bluntly told the Kingdom of Bulgaria that this territory was acquired by the Chinese Empire from the Magyars.
And not from their Bulgarian kingdom, which heard this, and the Bulgarian king dared to be angry!
The Kingdom of Bulgaria is now no match for the Magyars, how can they be able to defeat the Magyars and successfully recruit the Magyars.
This was only the beginning, and from then on the Kingdom of Bulgaria was sandwiched between the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
Although the Kingdom of Bulgaria appears to be an independent state, the Kingdom of Bulgaria is in fact included in the sphere of influence of the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
How did this not make the people of the Kingdom of Bulgaria afraid and at the same time afraid.
The Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was powerful, and the Chinese Empire was also powerful, and it was very difficult for the Bulgarian Kingdom to produce in the gap between the great powers.
Because the Kingdom of Bulgaria was sandwiched between the Eastern Roman-Byzantine Empire and the Chinese Empire, it was inevitable that the Bulgarian Kingdom would be influenced by the cultural and religious influences of the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
In the Kingdom of Bulgaria, although it seems that the whole people believe in Orthodox Christianity, the Orthodox Church in the north of the Kingdom of Bulgaria is completely different from the Orthodox Church in the south of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
The Orthodox Church in the territories under the direct domain of the King of the Kingdom of Bulgaria differed from that in the North and South.
The Orthodox Christianity believed by the people in the north of the Kingdom of Bulgaria was the Orthodox Church that had been changed by the Chinese Empire, and their teachings were all written in Chinese characters.
Of course, in order to preach and infiltrate, Song Jue, the national teacher of the Chinese Empire, bought batches of Chinese costumes at his own expense and sent them to the people of the Orthodox Church in northern Bulgaria.
In the Chinese Empire, Orthodox Christianity was only a branch of Taoism, and Orthodox Christianity was under the jurisdiction of Taoism.
When the people of the northern part of the kingdom of Bulgaria received their clothes, they did not object at all! After all, a few more sets of clothes is a great thing!
After all, most people are more or less fond of taking advantage of small advantages, because nowadays, most of the people who believe in the Chinese Orthodox Church in the northern part of the Kingdom of Bulgaria have changed into Chinese clothes.
And what about the small number of people who did not change into the costumes of the Chinese Empire?
Their lives are difficult, and they will always find that most people will look at them with strange eyes, which make those who are not willing to change into the clothes of the Chinese Empire feel like pins and needles.
In the end, for the sake of themselves, for the sake of their families, and in order not to be regarded as alien by others, they had to change into the clothes of the Chinese Empire like that group of people.
They don't have a choice, even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about their families, everyone wears Chinese clothes, but you don't wear them, what are you not an alien?
Those who are unwilling to accept Chinese costumes are just ordinary people, what can they do, they can't do anything.
They can't change others, and even if they don't change into Chinese costumes, they can't fit into that group.
In order to survive, for the sake of their families and children, they have to choose to change themselves and become like everyone else.
It may seem sad, but this is the reality, and many times the principles are not worth mentioning compared to the principles.
The Chinese Empire is powerful, and the Chinese Empire has a great penetration into them, if you don't change into Chinese clothes, you can't even live as before.
In the past, everyone was about the same, so they could live together, but after changing into Chinese clothes, they were different.
People who change into Chinese costumes are reluctant to have too much contact with people who are unwilling to change into Chinese clothes, and the purpose of Song Jue, the national teacher of the Chinese Empire, is to use Taoism to make northern Bulgaria completely Chinese.
Therefore, in addition to spreading Chinese clothing at his own expense, Song Jue also asked the imperial court to give him some materials.
That's right, Song Jue promised that as long as these people in the northern part of the Bulgarian Kingdom believe in the Orthodox Christianity under the command of Taoism, then Song Jue will send supplies.
As a result, the people in northern Bulgaria who are unwilling to accept the Chinese are once again isolated, and they see their neighbors and friends even living worse than themselves one by one, and how they think in their hearts.
Either choose to naturalize, or choose to go south and go to the central territory of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
But who wants to abandon their hometown where they have lived for a long time? Most of them still had to join the Orthodox Church that had been transformed by demons under the command of Taoism in the Chinese Empire.
The king of the Kingdom of Bulgaria also saw these things, but so what?
The Chinese Empire was so powerful that it was impossible for the Bulgarian Kingdom to defeat the Chinese Empire, and they even aroused the hatred of the people of northern Bulgaria, who were living better than before.
The common people were naïve, and they did not think that the officials of the Kingdom of Bulgaria were good people when they saw that they were coming to drive out the missionaries of the Chinese Empire.
On the contrary, they think that these officials are bad people, they think that these officials do not want to see their lives get better, and these officials want to enslave themselves.
Because of this, the Bulgarian kingdom was helpless against the Chinese people in the north, and they did not dare to kill the missionaries from the Chinese Empire.
Even they only dared to expel secretly, but it was useless, the north had been infiltrated too badly, and the Bulgarian people actually took the initiative to help the missionaries of the Chinese Empire hide.
What can the Bulgarian kingdom do, they finally have to turn to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire for help, after all, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was the country that forcibly converted the Bulgarian kingdom to Orthodox Christianity!
The Kingdom of Bulgaria believed that the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire would certainly not want to see the Bulgarian Orthodox Church become the Orthodox Church of the Chinese Empire.
