"Okay, just take three years to prepare, except for the three countries of Song, Xia and Liao, other countries will send at least 2,000 soldiers and horses. The formation of the Chinese Nine-Nation Alliance Army to jointly march westward. Zhao agreed and added.

To march westward, Huangtou Hui and Qingtang Tubo had to be incorporated into the Great Song Dynasty first. Zhao Ji just needs three years to digest these two countries first. On the other hand, Chengdu Fulu is much smaller than Sichuan in later generations and Xichuan in the Han Dynasty. Most of the western part was occupied by Tibetan tribes. Zhao Ji wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Qingtang Tubo to surrender and surrender the entire territory of Tubo.

With the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Tibetan Dynasty also flourished and declined, and after the collapse of the dynasty, the Tibetan Dynasty was not reunited, but was occupied by large and small separatist regimes, including the four major royal regimes. The four royal lineages are mainly distributed in the Yangtong region and the Wusi-Tibetan region of Tibet, while in the Tuxima region and the eastern Kang region, they are completely scattered tribes. Qingtang Tubo was originally after the Yalong Juea royal line, as long as Qingtang surrendered, then the surrender of Tubo would be successful.

"Three hundred years ago, the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food were defeated in the Battle of Talas, and since then the Western Regions have been reduced to a heavenly world, and thousands of Chinese Buddhists have destroyed their surnames and changed their religions, not knowing their ancestors. Today, I am making a comeback in China, and I should expel the heavens and restore my Buddha land in the Western Regions. I heard that there are many countries of Great Eclipse, but they still use the Heavenly Sect as a link to conquer everywhere. Today, the Chinese countries can also use Buddhism as a link to compete with the great food. The Great Eclipse Nations, waving the Star and Moon Banner, and then the name of the Heavenly Fang Sect went around. I propose that the Chinese countries should also set up a joint banner. "Master Mingjue, the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, took out a 10,000-character flag.

Seeing that swastika, Zhao Ji was frightened, isn't this a symbol of Nazi Germany in later generations? What Zhao Ji didn't know was that this was actually a symbol of Buddhism, which means luck and auspiciousness. "Huayan Sutra" cloud: "May all sentient beings have wheels pointing at each other, knuckles are perfect, and the text is right-turned; May all sentient beings be like lotus swastikas, ten forces of karma, good and solemn. "Another cloud:" If you come to the left finger, there is an adult, and the name is all the Buddha's sea clouds...... In it, all the Buddhas, and all the bodhisattvas, the sound of perfection, the swastika and the likeness, the immeasurable benefit, all sentient beings. ”

Seeing that there were no words, Master Mingjue continued: "This flag, of course, is the banner of Buddhism, however, it is also all, Mingjiao also uses the 10,000 characters as a symbol of the sun and fire, implying light, fearlessness and eternity. In My Buddha, this swastika symbol, which means "all good wishes, all fulfillments", is a symbol of the Buddha's holiness, majesty, compassion, wisdom and attainment. Today, with this symbol, may my Chinese Buddha shine brightly, bring luck and auspiciousness to all ethnic groups in China, and bring a Chinese eternal prosperity. ”

When Zhao Ji heard the last sentence, he was overjoyed and was about to open his mouth to agree. I saw Yelu Hongji take the flag from Mingjue's hand, look at it, and say after a while: "It's not good." In my Chinese states, there is no Zhuanzhi teaching, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism stand side by side, and all laws are promoted. The flag is not eclectic. ”

"Confucianism is not a religion, and Taoism is confined to the Liao and Song dynasties. Great Kandi Mingjian. Amitabha. Mingjue responded.

Indeed, all the countries of China believed in Confucianism and had a system of imperial examinations. But it is only the scholars who believe in Confucianism, and the people at the bottom have their own beliefs. Many people from all countries believe in Buddhism, and Dali, Xixia, and Three Buddhas are a Buddhist country. Buddhism in the Liao and Song dynasties was also very prosperous. Although the local religions of Goryeo, Japan, and Cochin are very popular, Buddhism is also very prosperous.

Whether it is China in later generations or in the current Chinese countries, few people specifically believe in one god, and often that god is more spiritual, so they believe in whichever one. Ordinary people, who believe in Buddhism and Taoism at the same time, and there is also a Confucian scholar at home, there are too many such situations. In many cases, the gods of Buddhism and Taoism can't tell which one it is. Even in Mingjiao, the deity they believe in is actually the Maitreya Buddha of Buddhism.

Moreover, many gods and goddesses are those who are more famous ministers of civil and military affairs in history who have been canonized as gods, which are both Taoist gods and Buddhist gods. For example, Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is a Buddhist god, is also worshiped by Taoists, because Guanyin is a deity who was later canonized. Canonization is the logic of Taoism, and ancestor worship is the logic of Confucianism. Guanyin used Buddhism to purify his life, he is a Buddha, but he is not a god, he is a human. Later, the people and the emperor made her a god because of their belief in him, which is Taoism. Guanyin is not fictional, he has existed in real life, so he is also an ancestor, and ancestor worship is a Confucian tradition.

When it comes to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the king of Champa can't help but feel worried, they have neither Confucianism nor Taoism, not even Buddhism, and believe in Brahmanism. If Zhancheng does not come to the alliance this time, it will definitely be destroyed and the species will be wiped out.

"Pen and ink." Yeluhongki shouted, and when the pen and ink were handed over, he rolled up his sleeves and waved on the flag.

Zhao Ji secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, this is a Liao lord with a bearded heart." ”

Soon, the swastika was wrapped up in the body of the nine dragons, and the nine dragons formed a circle, enclosing the swastika in the center. The 10,000-character flag became the 10,000-character Kowloon flag.

"Xining, how's it going? My drawing skills are not worse than yours, are they? Yelu Hongji asked with a smile.

Zhao Ji was about to tout Yelu Hongji, and Dong Yu of Tubo in the Qingtang Dynasty suddenly mustered up the courage and said: "Tubo is originally a Buddhist country, and Zhancheng is neither a state of China nor a Buddhist country, and it can be allied, so why do I, Qingtang, have to suffer the fate of being annexed by the alliance?" ”

"Can Qingtang be called a country? Who doesn't know that Qingtang has already been torn apart? Who doesn't know that the Tibetan tribes are divided and wars are continuous. Merge into the Great Song Dynasty and eliminate the flames of war, in the Qing Tang Dynasty and in Tubo, what's wrong? Xixia Li Bingchang fought back.

What Li Bingchang is worried about now is that if the Great Song Dynasty had not annexed Tibet and had not received benefits, he would not have supported the Western Xia expedition to annex Gaochang and Black Khan.

"What? Is Qingtang not convinced? Then speak with strength. Your father is just a small general in the Great Song Dynasty, is it possible that you want to be the emperor? Yelu Hongji said with contempt.

For Yelu Hongji, the annexation of such a bitter and cold place as Tubo will not only not increase the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, but will drag down the finances of the Great Song Dynasty. Besides, as long as they come to the alliance, they can establish a country on their own, so if the Jurchens come to the alliance, won't they also have to establish a country on their own? Such a thing would never have been allowed by Yelu Hongji.

Historically, Yelu Hongji attached great importance to the Jurchens, and in order to prevent the Jurchens from rebelling, he insisted on continuing his journey north despite the heavy snow and cold, and finally died on the way. The capital of the Liao State is Linhuang Mansion, but the Liao lord never works in the capital, but runs around with the palace and ministers, through hunting, fishing and other political activities, to strengthen the contact with the chiefs of various ethnic minorities in the Liao State. This kind of political activity running around in the Liao State is known as the bowl system. The bowl was the political center of the Liao State, not the capital.

The Jurchens occupy most of the northeast, from the Mingtong River to the Yalu River, which is the territory of the Jurchens. If the Jurchen tribes also set up their own country, wouldn't Daliao lose one-third of its territory? Moreover, the Jurchens became increasingly hostile to the Liao State, and often rebelled, either submitting to the Liao State or subjugating to Goryeo, and rebellions were infrequent. As they exchanged fur horses from the sea for many weapons and armor and iron products from the Song merchants, they became more and more agitated, which made Yelu Hongji full of uneasiness.

In later generations, scholars outside the mainland did not count the northeast and the grasslands as the land of the Liao State. Because the Liao State had a weak vassal relationship with the Jurchens and the tribes of the steppe, it was not directly under the rule of the Liao State. In this way, there is only a little bit of Liaodong and Yanyun left in Liaoguo. Therefore, this alliance is also of extraordinary significance to the Liao State, the Song and Liao are reconciled, and there are no heavy troops on the border, so the Liao State can not only use the army to sweep the Jurchens, but also immigrate to consolidate the border and completely assimilate the Jurchens and other ethnic groups.

According to scholars outside the mainland, the Western Xia was even smaller, excluding the tribes, and the territory of the Western Xia was left with a long and narrow line, that is, a few cities on the Silk Road.

For Dali and Jiaozhi, the same is true, excluding the tribes of their vassals, they really don't have much territory. Small tribes are a nation of their own, and they will not allow it either. If, according to Dong Yu, the tribes of their countries came to join the alliance, then there are too many countries in the Chinese countries to count.

The reason why scholars outside the mainland think this way is that they are not clear about the concept of the state in Chinese history, and they still introduce the same set of state concepts as Westerners. Scholars from the mainland were also affected by this, and when they arrived in the Jin Kingdom, the Mongolian steppe was not included in the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

Dong Yu did not reply, because his position was inherited from his father. He is now the envoy of the Pingxi Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the king of Wuwei County. When the contradictions in Liaoxia intensified, the lord of Liao once married the princess to Dong Yu, trying to fight Western Xia with Qingtang. It's just that Li Yuanhao of Western Xia is very good at using soldiers, and not only defeated the Song Dynasty, but also defeated the Liao State and the Qing Tang Dynasty at the same time. It can be said that the establishment of Western Xia was exchanged by Li Yuanhao for strong force.

Historically, Wang Anshi was in power and used Wang Shao to attack the Qing Tang Dynasty instead of the Western Xia. The reason is not that the Great Song Dynasty made a strategic mistake, but that Qingtang did not have much effect except for its strategic position. The Great Song was not afraid that he would unite with the Western Xia to deal with the Great Song together.

In the eyes of Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, Qingtang really had no effect. A group of tribes is just a battlefield for Song and Xia. Now that the Huaxia Alliance and the Song and Xia have reconciled, this battlefield is no longer needed. As long as Western Xia annexed Gaochang and Black Khan, the position of Qingtang would not have much strategic significance for Western Xia.

The reason why Dong Yu didn't reply was because he knew that Qingtang didn't have any ability to resist. He tried to give the tribes an explanation. The Song Dynasty and the Qing Tang Dynasty fought a battle, that was in the Song Zhenzong period, the Qing Tang Dynasty wanted to build a country like the Western Xia, and also invaded the Qinzhou (Tianshui) of the Great Song Dynasty, 30,000 against 2,000, in the battle of Sandu Valley, 30,000 people could not beat the 2,000 people of the Great Song Dynasty, the army was defeated and retreated, and was chased by the Song army for more than 20 miles, and more than 10,000 were beheaded. A big defeat that was thrown home in shame. After this battle, the Tubo people no longer dared to underestimate the Song Dynasty.

Even if there is no alliance this time, both Zhao Ji and the political affairs hall will use Wang Shao's Pingrong strategy to completely solve the Qingtang and Tubo. Besides, Zhao Ji still has a dark line of Mingjiao. Qingtang Tubo and Huangtou Hui are everywhere to be merged into the Great Song Dynasty, which is the means of Mingjiao Liu Qi.

"The city of Occupy has agreed to adopt Buddhism as the state religion and ban Brahmanism. The establishment of four university offices, the Zhancheng State does not have such national strength, but our country will imitate Jiaozhi, set up a national prison, teach and study Confucian classics, and use the imperial examination to select scholars. The king of Champa Sudari hurriedly made his way forward.

"Hmm." Yelu Hongji was like the leader of the Huaxia Alliance, and after hearing this, he nodded and said, "Very good." Xining, you see, Huaxia Huimeng, this banner has been erected, and the chronology and Jiaozi era names have been unified, is it also like a big food, and a unified country name has been established? ”

"A unified country name? It's called the Huaxia Alliance. Zhao Ji replied in surprise.
