Chapter Seven: The Remnants of the Tang Dynasty (2-in-1)

"Master Green Lantern, are you willing to be my Great Song's eyeliner and minions?!"

Minions and eyeliner?!

The green lantern monk was slightly stunned, and then he groaned, now he has to consider the pros and cons of it.

After all, what the general in front of him said was that these fifty people were just a small force, and the large army of the Central Plains people seemed to have no shadow at all.

According to the general in front of them, they are now here to win over the remnants of the Tang Dynasty two hundred years ago and the people who are still interested in the Tang Dynasty, no, they are the people who are committed to the Central Plains, and then, when the time is ripe, they will really send a large army to establish the Anxi Protectorate, so that they can really take off with Tianzhu, and they can truly establish the paradise of Buddhism!

So, the question comes, who can know when the time is ripe, in the future, if the Central Plains people do not send troops, here to ask in the past, people will also refute you all if the time is not ripe, at that time, how should they deal with themselves these Tianzhu people? !

Moreover, judging from the words of the general in front of him, it is not difficult to deduce that the strength of the Central Plains is insufficient now, at least, it does not have the strength of the Tang Dynasty to immediately shoot hundreds of thousands of troops who wanted to fight him.

Therefore, the old monk of the green lantern began to hesitate.

It's really ...... Not much hope!

Xin Xi always maintained a slight smile, he neither seemed anxious, nor did he seem indifferent, anyway, some things have to be made up by others' own brains, and only the things that people make up their own brains will be convinced, and they will do their best to pay and if so, you force people to do it, and directly tell others that they have to do it.

Then it is obvious that nine out of ten people will be unwilling to do their best because of their rebellious mentality, even if they are forced to do it, it is also the attitude of getting by, being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day.

So, initiative is really important!

Of course, it is also unacceptable to completely let people make up their own brains, after all, people's thinking and brain circuits are different from each other, the same thing, the ghost knows what people will make up in their brains?!

Therefore, you need to give the other party a little guidance at the critical moment!

For example, at this moment, Xin Zhen consciously had enough time for the old monk to think alone, either he had already made up his mind, or he encountered a very difficult multiple-choice question!

That's when the guidance has to come!

Smiling slightly, Xin Zhen said softly: "Master Qinglan thinks that the Buddha enshrined in this temple is not effective?!" ”

Fortunately, there are not so many people in this temple who know the Central Plains dialect, if Xin Xi's words were said in a temple in the Great Song Dynasty, probably, it would immediately cause public anger!

After all, if you ask a monk whether the Buddha is effective, or use this kind of picky tone, a monk will not be able to bear it!

However, Qing Deng nodded solemnly: "But whatever you ask for, everything can be fulfilled!" ”

Well, it turned out to be a good answer, it seems that you are not an honest old monk either!

Originally, I was going to wait for the old monk to say that it didn't work very well, and then use the story of Guanyin Bodhisattva worshipping Guanyin Bodhisattva himself, to guide the old monk with the allusion that it is better to ask for others than for yourself!

It's a pity that the old monk is actually dishonest!

However, since it works, then the next words naturally have a saying that it works!

All things, with just one mouth, can indeed be said to be alive even if they are dead, and they can be said to be dead if they are alive!

What's more, the earth is originally round, and the ancient Chinese sages also fully demonstrated this point vividly, for example, when it is necessary to raise the value of readers, that is, 'everything is inferior, only reading is high!' ’

But when you need to belittle a reader, you can immediately say that 'useless is a scholar.' ’

And so on and so forth, and so on, and so on, and so on!

Xin Xi smiled slightly, looking like he was holding a wisdom bead, and said indifferently: "So, Master Qinglan, do you know the Buddha statues in this temple, why everything you ask for has a benefit?!" ”

"Don't tell me that the Buddha is powerful!" Xin Xi saw that the old monk opened his mouth to speak, and directly blocked the only hole that was difficult to fill.

……!!!

The old monk of the green lantern was slightly stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Does the general know why?!" ”

Although you are not a sincere person, but in the end you still cooperated, really, just because of your cooperation, you are still a good boy in my heart!

Xin Zhen smiled secretly in his heart, but said: "You see, mortals ask the Buddha for blessing, no matter what, they have to pay some price, the rich will give more merit money, and the poor will also buy a stick of incense and offer it to the Buddha, so if you ask for something, you have to pay something first, after all, there is no free lunch to eat in the world!" ”

"This ......" The old monk of the green lantern paused slightly, he who has lived for eighty-two years is basically a scheming, even cunning and cunning person!

In this way, how could he not know the deep meaning contained in Xin Xi's words?!

Xin Xi's words are nothing more than telling him that since they want to attack through the Central Plains and get some benefits, then they have to pay the corresponding things, after all, the Buddha still has the slightest possibility of being compassionate at any cost to purify sentient beings, so why should the Central Plains people, who are also mortals in the mortal world, help them regardless of returns? !

Even though the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate does play an extremely important role in the Central Plains' domination of the world, they do not have to dominate the world!

After all, people have long developed the maritime Silk Road that can go directly to Egypt, and the Silk Road on land that was opened up from the Western Han Dynasty is really not as important as imagined!

Therefore, the benefits of establishing the Western Regions Protectorate alone are far from enough!

The old monk of the green lantern frowned slightly, and then, his expression changed, he had heard in the early years that the Dali Kingdom was more than two hundred years ago, but it was almost included in their territory by the Central Plains people because of the problems between the six edicts.

Fortunately, where the country of Dali is located, the poor mountains and bad waters, the miasma breeds, and the people of the Central Plains are difficult to get used to the environment of that place, which is why the current Dali country exists, otherwise, I am afraid that the country of Dali has already become the Dali Mansion of the Central Plains people!

Frowning slightly, the old monk of the green lantern looked at Xin Xi directly, and said: "After the Central Plains people attack, can you still guarantee the independence of my Tianzhu?!" Can you guarantee that my Tianzhu is still an independent country and will not be forcibly conquered by the Central Plains?! ”

……!!!

What a mistake!

I didn't expect that I could still think of this aspect, and it can be said that all aspects have already involved the issue of the nation and the fundamental interests of the country!

Xin Zhen frowned slightly, but after a while, he said directly: "No, when the time comes, even if you Tianzhu begs to become a vassal of my Great Song, my Great Song may not want it!" ”

"How is this possible!" The old monk was speechless, and his heart became more and more suspicious.

Xin Xi smiled indifferently: "Do you know Chang'an?" ”

"Know! Chang'an is the center of the world, it is said that it was built by Li Weigong Li Jing, and Master Xuanzang, after returning to the Central Plains, preached in Chang'an, which is the most prosperous place in the whole world! Speaking of Chang'an, the old monk of Qinglan was full of longing, and when he read the words about Chang'an in the past, he hated that he could not be born as a Chang'an person.

This is not good or bad, it is just an instinctive pursuit of a better environment.

Of course, when this pursuit evolves into admiration for foreigners, it is really a scumbag!

Xin Xi secretly complained for a while, and then continued: "However, now my capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Tokyo Bianliang, is several times more prosperous than Chang'an!" So, my Great Song, how can I fall in love with your Tianzhu place?! You must know that even when the Tang Dynasty was in Chang'an, it didn't look down on your Tianzhu land, but only established the four Buddha kingdoms, as for the Western Regions Protectorate, if it wasn't for the important location, the Tang Dynasty would not bother to ask for it! ”

"The same is true of today's Great Song!" Xin Zhen opened his mouth categorically, with a categorical look on his face, so that the old monk of the green lantern slowly lowered his guard.

Indeed, when the Tang Dynasty sent Wang Xuance to fight, he destroyed many small countries, but in the end, he did not take an inch of land, but instead sent a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and craftsmen.

Then, the Great Song Dynasty, which is more prosperous than the Tang Dynasty, looks down on Tianzhu, and it seems to be a matter of course.

Although the territory of his own country was looked down upon by others, which made the old monk Qinglan feel a little aggrieved, but more than that, he was happy.

Because, if Tianzhu was really taken by the people of the Central Plains, when he thought of the consequences, the old monk of the green lantern seemed to see the picture of bleeding and drifting.

With a shudder, the old monk of the green lantern slowly came over, and then nodded and said: "Old man, I am willing to contact the rest of the people who are interested in the Tang Dynasty or the remnants of the Tang Dynasty for the minions of the Central Plains!" ”

"That's great!" Xin Zhen chuckled, but he was a little hesitant in his heart.

According to the Tang or Song people, or even the Ming Dynasty later, no one would be interested in the land of the neighboring countries, because those places were so poor!

But Xin Zhen is a person who has crossed over from the afterlife!

Why did Britain colonize India during the Age of Discovery? It's because of some raw materials in India!

Here, the road to expansion must be opened.

The earth is so big, if you don't expand, then when people get up, it will definitely be people who will expand and colonize.

The one who expands and colonizes first will take the lead after globalization begins!

Therefore, if Xin Zhen can really influence the Great Song Dynasty in the future, he really can't guarantee that in the future, he will not occupy the land of India!

It's just that let's take one step at a time, perhaps, when the time comes, it is possible to assimilate these Indians with the broad and profound culture of the Central Plains, and then let them ask for their own nationality in the Great Song Dynasty?!

Although it's a bit funny, there is no doubt that China's culture is really bullish, and in the face of these poor and backward countries that are still in the Central Plains and Western Zhou Dynasty, cultural invasion should be very easy!

After all, in later generations, only the incomplete Chinese culture can withstand the invasion of British and American culture.

This is even more of a dynasty that only relied on the Tang Dynasty to influence Japan, so that the Japanese are obsessed with the Central Plains culture from the bones, and even shamelessly claim that they are the super culture of China!

This is even more, relying only on the influence of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, South Korea is also obsessed with the super cultural body of Confucian culture!

Although Korea has gone back 3,000 years, it really has something to do with China, but the problem is that the Ming Dynasty at that time, strictly speaking, had actually lost too many cultural traditions.

The incomplete ones can sweep East Asia, so what about the almost complete ones, it should be no problem to sweep a South Asia, right?!

Thinking like this, Xin Xi nodded with a smile and said, "So, it's the best!" ”

"So, Master Qinglan, can you tell me, such as today's Zhu, and the entire Western Regions, the distribution of the remnants of the Tang Dynasty? Come to think of it, you should know something! ”

Xin Xi didn't bother to waste any more time, so he asked directly.

The old monk of the green lantern was slightly stunned, hesitated for a while, and then simply let go, after all, if he cooperated with the Central Plains general in front of him, perhaps, there was still hope for the revival of the Buddha country, and if he did not cooperate with him, there would be no possibility of revival of the Buddha country!

Now that you have identified this path, you should go on wholeheartedly and pay enough sincerity!

After thinking about it, the old monk of the green lantern spoke: "To the west of Tubo, the Kingdom of Khotan, the Uighurs of Gaochang, and the Ghaznavid Dynasty, there are all the distribution of the remnants of the Tang Dynasty, but most of them have become slaves...... As for other places, there is no large-scale Tang Army, but there are still many descendants of the Tang Army, but because they are scattered, even most of them have become slaves, and it is difficult to contact them. ”

It's a grim form!

I didn't expect that there were really some descendants of the Tang Army left!

Two hundred years of perseverance, UU reading books .net Xin Zhen couldn't help but be moved in the bottom of his heart, this is surrounded by aliens, a full two hundred years of perseverance!

When it comes to patriotism, what could be more patriotic than this?!

Xin Zhen, who originally planned to use the remnants of the Tang Dynasty as a breakthrough, suddenly heard that there were really remnants of the Tang Dynasty, and his thoughts changed!

Even now, it is already the Great Song Dynasty, but those remnants of the Tang Dynasty are worth his rescue, and it is worth letting him take them back to his homeland!

Thinking like this, Xin Xi continued to ask: "Then, what about the people whose hearts are towards the Central Plains?!" ”

The old monk of the green lantern suddenly had a fanatical face, and said loudly: "But all of my people in the Buddhist sect have their hearts set on the Central Plains!" ”

This momentum was earth-shattering, Xin Xi was almost frightened and took a step back, and then, surprise uncontrollably appeared on his face.

The whole Buddha Gate!

It turns out that the Tianzhu people who are interested in the Central Plains are so much?!
