The Age of Discovery was indeed the most magnificent page in human history, and the world entered a new fork in the road, but few people knew the significance of religion in the Great Voyage.

Just as many people don't know that the great navigators of the early days, whether it was Columbus or da Gama, were actually aiming to break the geographical blockade of the Celestial Religion on European Christians and find space for development, the East was once considered a possible ally by Europeans.

Europeans likened these expeditions to the "Last Crusade" because da Gama actually accomplished what the Crusades had not accomplished—when the Europeans discovered the New World, they suddenly found that they were ushering in a new era in which Christian nations dominated the world.

Of course, in this time and space, the Europeans did not achieve this goal, to be precise, the Song Dynasty in this time and space really opened the Age of Discovery-the Sea Song Empire began a large-scale maritime expansion centuries before them, and the adventure of the Europeans was only from them to share this glory.

Compared with the Song people's in-depth exploration of the colony, which brought the fire of civilization to the local people, and often carried the local people to infiltrate and develop little by little, and finally even directly incorporated into the territory, the Europeans' exploration of the New World was almost pure destruction and plunder, which made the Europeans unable to compete with the Song people's "deep cultivation" colonial development efficiency in the model.

After seeing the colonies of the Song people, even the Europeans disliked their own people's rudeness and barbarism to the colonists.

Therefore, the Europe of this time and space does not have the arrogance peculiar to the contemporaneous Europe of the original time and space from the center of world civilization.

In this era, even the Europeans themselves never felt that they were superior to Asia in any way, in fact, on the contrary, in the face of the power and mystery of the Eastern civilization and culture, they were constantly intimidated, made them fall for it and feel inferior.

Therefore, it is normal for these descendants of the ancient Roman Empire, who perished at the hands of barbarians, to have an innate fear of enemies from the east.

No one will forget the terrible "Whip of God", and no one will forget the terrifying Great Mongol Empire that once suffocated the whole world, and the roots of Tianzhu, which rose in Central Asia this time, came from the powerful Eastern Empire that was far more ancient than the Whip of God and the Mongol Empire.

Europeans never believe that two powerful opponents will live in peace, they will only take it for granted that just as a lion is destined to find prey and a tiger must roar in the mountains and forests, once the powerful Tianzhu becomes strong, it will inevitably seek expansion in Europe, and once again set off the yellow peril in the blood memory of their ancestors!

This is how the Christians of this age could not be afraid.

So, Francisco couldn't wait for the success of the project.

He tried to provoke Qin Jian like a manic lion cub.

"War?"

His opponent, Qin Jian, shook his head and smiled, just like what a ridiculous thing he said.

In Qin Jian's opinion, his threat was really ridiculous, and he didn't even feel angry at all.

Will the Tianzhu people, who have just defeated even the Great Song Expeditionary Army, be afraid of war?

At this time, the Europeans may not be regarded as those primitive people in the eyes of the Tianzhu people, but they are probably not much stronger than those primitive tribes.

How could an elephant with only eyes fixed on the food in the trees in front of him care about the roar of wild dogs around him?

Francisco thought that Tianzhu had dug the Yihe Canal in order to conquer the Mediterranean and even Europe, but in fact, the Tianzhu people had no such intention at all.

Qin Jian dared to guarantee that the purpose of this canal was only for commerce.

Of course, perhaps in the future, after the canal is opened, the canal may be discovered for its military role. But that's also the future, it's just the future, at least for now, the Qin family and Tianzhu don't mean this at all.

Qin Jian didn't understand why these Yangyi were so messing around.

Dare to shout for war? Are you sure you really want war?

Qin Jian looked at the few Bai Yi in front of him, and his face immediately sank, like a city wall that rejected people thousands of miles away,

"I don't know why you value this river so much, but you want to threaten our internal affairs with war?" Qin Jian's face turned pale, "Your Excellency, I hope you can pay attention to your words!" The great Tianzhu is not afraid of any war. ”

Look at the messengers standing under the hall,

Qin Jian smiled contemptuously and said:

"The last king to shout at us was the Ilkhanate, and I think now everyone knows what happened to him."

"Are you sure you've thought about the consequences?"

"Yes! Of course we do. ”

Francisco nodded,

"However, this lord above, this is not a threat, but a fact. The kings of all the countries of Europe are standing behind us, and we want to let you know exactly one thing: that you are not welcome in the Mediterranean. ”

Francisco, in a deep voice, almost growled in response.

……

In the end, the meeting between the magistrates of the Great Song Dynasty and the foreign envoys broke up unhappily in an extremely unoptimistic atmosphere.

Qin Jian finally controlled his emotions and didn't throw the other party into the sea, he also knew that he was not a suitable official to talk to the other party, and it happened that there was a team of subordinates under his hand who wanted to change their guards and go to Cairo, so he just asked these people to take this group of envoys away, and quickly handed over this hot potato to others.

There, the main city of the Qin family, now the Marquis of Tianfang, has also been transferred from Tianfang to Cairo, and from the perspective of the old marquis of the Qin family, it is obvious that this thousand-year-old city located in the lower reaches of the Nile River is more suitable for the development of the Qin family.

After Qin Jian finished taking care of this matter, he was in a little uneasy, but he, Qin Jian, didn't feel that he had done anything wrong today, no matter who suddenly met such a group of inexplicable guys, he would not be indifferent at all. He was sure that even if these people really got to the old marquis, they would only be unlucky.

No one here will pay attention to the so-called protests of the European countries.

What an important project is the Yihe Canal, it can be said that it is related to the future of the Qin family, and such an important project will be stopped just because of such an absurd and nonsensical reason? How can it be!

Only a shadow lingered in his chest for a long time, he didn't know if what these self-proclaimed Yangyi envoys said was true, and whether the hostility of those Yangyi countries to Tianzhu had reached such a point?
