The sea surface of the small western ocean, compared with the sea surface of Nanfan, can be described as vast. There are no islands dotted here, and when you look around, you can only see the sea water on the side of the blue like a shining blanket, and the waves rolling layer by layer, as if under the blue sky is a layer of blue blanket slowly undulating. When the sun shines, the eyes are full of light.

Seeing this scene again, Chen Dexing seems to have returned to the era when he was still a seafarer in his previous life, and when he thinks about it now, he really has an unreal feeling like he is in a dream.

Most of the civil and military officials and concubines who toured the west with him followed him to the sea, and they were also suitable for life at sea. However, most of them have never been to the Little Western Ocean, and they have been floating on the ocean with no land in sight for a few days, so they are inevitably a little bored, and naturally they are not willing to stay in the stuffy cabin, and they will go to the deck to wander around at every opportunity, even if there is no scenery to see, it is good to blow the sea breeze.

Chen Dexing has no official affairs to deal with now, and all major national affairs are handled by Li Cuixian, who stayed in Beijing, and he is happy to be a shopkeeper. These days, or chatting with the great explorer Wen Tianxiang is a strange thing in the world. Otherwise, he would talk about religious things with his apprentice.

The little girl is getting older, she is thirteen years old and almost fourteen years old, and she is getting more and more smart, even her figure has grown, and her breasts have begun to bulge gradually, and she is pleasing to look at. But he responded to an old saying - big chest and no brain! This little girl is getting more and more beautiful, but her brain is getting more and more confused! became a staunch immortalist...... This is not a problem, there are not many atheists these days, but the problem is that Ku Bald Lun firmly believes that Chen Dexing has the soul of a god. It is the closest thing to God in the world.

In Kubalun's own words: "The saint is infinitely close to the ...... of God"

If this kind of thing is heard by a god who really understands religious studies, it will definitely be on the line! Because these words of Kubalun are deviating from the "Taiyi Light Sutra". If you take into account the special status of Ku Ballun - the disciple of King Ming, this is very dangerous!

But Chen Dexing, a magic stick, is an amateur at all. is even more fond of this female apprentice who is getting older and more beautiful, and is not willing to scold at all...... Moreover, Chen Dexing has long regarded this girl as his "own person", and when she grows up, she will be admitted to the palace. I didn't think about letting her be a god stick at all, let alone taking her identity as a "disciple of King Ming" seriously.

But he never imagined that a truly powerful great god stick could exert a powerful religious influence even in an isolated environment. And the brain-confused Bald Lun is just such a big god.

As a matter of fact. She's already making a religious impact! In the eyes of her Mongolian classmates, most of whom are now serving as gods in the Heavenly Dao Knights, she has won the mantle of the Ming King, and is the religious authority of the Heavenly Dao Sect...... Through her correspondence with them, Kubalun had spread many of her erroneous interpretations of the Taiyi Illuminati Sutra.

However, Chen Dexing, a "god stick who is infinitely close to God", will not know how much trouble this confused woman has caused him and the Heavenly Taoist Sect after many years!

"Little fool," Chen Dexing called his nickname, "go get some wine, and ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks, and I want to have a few drinks with Mr. Wen." ”

"Hmm. The little fool will come when he goes. Still dressed as a little Taoist aunt, Su Bald Lun smiled sweetly, gave Chen Dexing a salute, and went away.

Chen Dexing sat on a bed of Hu on the top platform of the ship's amidships, with a small round table in front of him. Wen Tianxiang sat across from him.

"Wenshan, how is this little girl?" Chen Dexing pointed a little proudly at his back.

Wen Tianxiang replied with a smile: "It's not bad, it's just that he's taller." ”

Wen Tianxiang's aesthetic standards are still in the style of Southern Song scholars. I like petite and charming women, and she is more than five and a half feet tall. He's a little disdainful - he can't be so tall with a pretty face! The little girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and most of them can grow a little. Maybe they can reach six feet (1.8 meters), what is this? And not only is it tall, but it's also a little strong (Mongols)...... But look at this body, he will also be able to give birth in the future, and it is estimated that he will not be worse than Li Cuixian!

Chen Dexing laughed: "What are you afraid of when you are tall?" I'm a tall man myself! This girl...... But the people of the Golden Family, the great-granddaughter of Genghis Khan, it is really not easy to be like this! ”

In fact, there is nothing, generations of beautiful women are preferred to marry, and naturally the more beautiful they are.

Wen Tianxiang was stunned: "What? It's the Mongols! The saint still has her by his side......"

"What's wrong with the Mongols? Baoyin is also a Mongolian. Chen Dexing waved his hand indifferently, "This girl is the daughter of Haidu Khan, she went to the Central Plains at the age of 6, and she came to me at the age of 11, and she is well-behaved." ”

This is "cultivated", can it not be well-behaved?

"It turned out to be Haidu's daughter." Wen Tianxiang said in his heart, this sea is well-behaved, and such a small girl is dedicated to Chen Dexing......

"I heard that Haidu Khan is also marching west?" Wen Tianxiang turned the topic to the general trend of the world.

His mission this time has been successfully accomplished. Chen Dexing seemed to be satisfied with the "Li Song" to declare himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, in addition to putting forward a request for a territorial exchange - to the Ming Dynasty in the northern part of Dali (about the later Yunnan Province of China), and at the same time to the Song State in the west of Annan, the Southern Tang Dynasty and the area north of Thailand, all of which were assigned to the Song State, and gave the Song State the name of the Eastern Song Dynasty to distinguish it from Zhao Lin'er's Western Song Dynasty.

After this land exchange, the Eastern Song Dynasty still maintained a large territorial area, including Myanmar, northern Thailand and Laos in later generations, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was known as the Southern Fan Great. The population of the country is also three or four hundred thousand, which is more than that of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

However, compared with the Ming Dynasty in the north, it is still insignificant, and Wen Tianxiang is still a little worried about how long the peace between the Song and Ming Dynasty can be maintained.

Now Da Ming seems to be a strong man who has eaten up, and he doesn't want to move for the time being, he just wants to sleep comfortably. But when the Ming Dynasty digests the spoils, maybe he will have to take the Eastern Song Dynasty and the "Mengou" in the west......

"It's in the name of the Heavenly Dao Knights to go west, and you can always take the Golden Horde, right?"

Chen Dexing when he spoke. "Little Fool" had already brought up the snacks and put a few plates of snacks on the table. Two more wine glasses were placed on the table, and they were filled with wine. Then he stopped behind Chen Dexing. The hand is pressed with a knife, and he looks like a loyal protector of the Lord.

Chen Dexing picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, "It is estimated that it will be Rus, and it will not be possible to go west to fight Kublai Khan." ”

The Heavenly Dao Knights had 20,000 or 30,000 horses, and even if they were equipped with steel armor, muskets, and cannons, it was impossible to defeat Kublai Khan's army, which was ten times its size. Moreover, the state religion of the Golden Horde was the Celestial Religion, while the Rus' states practiced Christianity. The Celestial Dao Knights took the spread of the Celestial Dao Sect as their call, after conquering the Golden Horde and the Rus' kingdoms. I have to be busy preaching, how can I have the energy to fight Kublai Khan to the death?

Even if they want to move westward into Central and Western Europe, they will have to wait until the Eastern European steppes (Rus steppe) and the Kipchak steppe are turned into the territory of the Heavenly Taoist Sect, so that they can have a stable rear to support the western expedition.

Chen Dexing gently turned his wine glass, "A Rus steppe, a Kipchak grassland, without a hundred years of prosperity, it is impossible to be completely controlled by the Heavenly Dao Sect. If we go west, I'm afraid it will be a hundred years from now, and I won't be able to see it. ”

Wen Tianxiang also calculated in his heart: Chen Dexing's goal in this life. It seems that it is to establish a tributary system in the whole world - the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of all countries in the world, just like the Zongzhou in the past. At this point, it is already unprecedented, even when the Mongols were at their peak, they only won most of the old continent. Want to go one step further. Dominate the whole world, Chen Dexing will not be in this life. First, there is no population to fill the world; Second, except for the Central Plains, Tianzhu and parts of the Mediterranean coast, they are too desolate. It simply could not support the logistics of the expeditionary army.

The current situation seems to be similar to that of the early and middle Western Zhou Dynasty. The nations were given fiefs. It hasn't been digested well, and the number of Chinese people is not enough. Therefore, they are all busy with internal cultivation of virtue and political behavior. For the time being, there is no effort to attack each other.

It seems that the Great Song Dynasty still has a hundred years of national glory in Nanfan! Wen Tianxiang settled down slightly. After a hundred years, whether the Great Song Dynasty can continue to survive depends on the development of the past hundred years......

A hundred years later, if there are three million Chinese people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, this country may be able to last forever!

……

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Army's Western Expedition appeared on the streets of Taoli Temple! The city is a famous Persian city, located in the northwest border of Persia, which is the gateway of Persia to Asia Minor and the Caucasus Mountains, and the distance to Syria in the west is not far away. Because of this location, the city is often the capital of the country on the Persian plateau.

After the Ilkhanate, founded by Hulegu, passed into the hands of Abaha, Taoli Monastery became the capital of the khanate. Ten days earlier, the city had been abandoned by the defeated Abaha, and the next day it was occupied by the vanguard of the Ming army from the east. When this elite soldier with bright steel armor and sharp swords and guns appeared on the streets of Taoli Temple to patrol and guard, it already made the local Persians feel that the momentum was amazing. But the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who are now driving are ten times their vanguard!

At any time, a sturdy man in metal armor marches neatly through the streets, and the oppressive force is staggering. Not to mention that these officers and soldiers wearing steel armor, carrying backpacks, carrying spears and muskets, and with horizontal knives hanging from their waists, are strong soldiers who have fought thousands of miles and killed countless people!

Even the invincible Ilkhan Abha, who had been defeated in the face of this army, now carried the remnants of less than 20,000 men, escorting several times the number of old and weak Mongolian women and children to the western peninsula of Asia Minor.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, neatly and calmly, divided into several ways to enter the Taoli Temple, marched on the main street. Leather boots slammed on the gravel pavement with a neat thud. The steel helmet was buckled on the murderous faces, and no one made a sound, no one looked at it, but just moved forward solemnly.

This unit, from officers to soldiers, is full of arrogance and murderous spirit, and the team is coming towards people, as if they are killed from hell! Turning to fight thousands of miles, the enemy was all broken, and the defeat was all the elite soldiers of the Mongols. Now they have arrived in Persia, which was killed by the Mongols, and the whole of Persia, looking at their figures, is now only trembling and trembling!

Zhu Sijiu, who took them, seemed to be to give the Persians a feeling of invincibility, that is, to make them look up at the Ming Western Expeditionary Army with awe. It is to make these Persians realize the reality that only by obedience can they live!

Under the march of the army, the entire Taoli Temple was silent. Tens of thousands of people moved neatly, and the ups and downs were all the sound of military boots hitting the ground...... No, not only the ground, but also the heart of every Persian.

The three regiments of the musketeer division of the Western Expeditionary Army, escorting Zhu Sijiu's military headquarters, advanced in the direction of the palace in Taoli Temple City.

Zhu Sijiu, dressed in steel armor, rode on a majestic Arab war horse, and looked around with gloomy eyes at the city that would become his capital. It is like a city where religions live in harmony. Shinshinji, Christian churches and Buddhist temples coexist here. All the way west, such scenes can only be seen in Persia.

"Can the religions really be in harmony?" Zhu Sijiu slowly pondered in his heart. Under the influence of Chen Dexing, he has always attached great importance to religious issues. In his opinion, the Ilkhanate was somewhat religiously confused. This is obviously the territory of the Celestial Religion, but the Ilkhan wants to copy Buddhism and Christianity...... It's understandable to distrust the Celestial Sect, but it is confusing to support two religions to deal with one Celestial Sect at the same time. The Mongols, who were already inferior in numbers, were divided into Christians and Buddhists, and they were really scattered into sand. How can we restrain the united Celestial Cultists? The state of this Ilkhanate will not grow at all, unless the future Khan King converts to the Heavenly Sect!

"Ilkhan can be converted, but I can't be converted, I must hold the Sun and Moon Banner of the Heavenly Daoist Sect high......" Zhu Sijiu had already made up his mind when he withdrew his gaze from a Christian church. The state religion of the Great Qing Kingdom can only be the Heavenly Daoist Sect! Otherwise, the Ming Sage would have turned his face, and maybe he would have sent a large army to crusade.

However, if you want to respect the Heavenly Taoism, the situation in Persia will be uneasy. The Heavenly Fang Sect is too powerful to be eliminated. At most, it is to support the Heavenly Daoist Sect to compete with the Heavenly Fang Sect. As for the plates of Buddhism and Christianity in Persia, there is no need to maintain them any longer, so as not to separate the followers. In the future Great Qing Kingdom, it is enough to have the Heavenly Daoist Sect and the Heavenly Fang Sect...... (To be continued.) )
