"But how do you destroy the history and culture of the Europa?"

Kublai Khan thought about it and asked, this thing doesn't seem to be easy—if it were, it is estimated that the first Khans of the past dynasties would have done it. In Kublai Khan's view, the key to the history and culture of exterminating people is to exterminate people, kill all people, and naturally have no history and culture. But then who will pay the taxes, who will produce, and who will be sent to death in front of Chen Dexing's people?

Yao Shu stroked his white beard, frowned deeply, and said slowly: "For Europa, we must leave its people and destroy its history and then cut off its culture...... Whether this stays or dies is a matter of scale. ”

"Yes, it's a scale!" Kublai Khan nodded, "But it's not easy to do, this person can't read or write on his face!" ”

Yao Shu chuckled, "The Great Khan thinks that killing all the literate people will be able to destroy their history and literature?" ”

Kublai Khan smiled, "Of course! Kill all those who can read, and the rest are not foolish people who don't know anything? ”

"But there are still Europa scholars in Italy, Iberia, and England, and can the Great Khan kill them all?"

Kublai Khan shook his head helplessly, "How can you kill if you can't beat it?" You can only kill it if you fight it in the future! ”

Yao Shu said: "If we kill all the readers in Europa, there will be no one to help fight Italy, Iberia and England." ”

"There's no one to help us manage the territory!" Kublai Khan smiled bitterly.

It's definitely not okay to kill them all! If they could kill them all, the first khans of the past dynasties didn't care about killing more people. But who will be a lackey after all the killings? Who is going to organize the Han army? Without the lackey Han army, how could the Song Dynasty fight? Do you use the Mongols to fight? Song Jun's divine arm crossbow is no joke.

"yes, we can't kill all the readers in Europa. Should it be used or still used. We're new to the city now, so we're a little less demanding. As long as you are willing to admit that you are the second son of God, the Great Khan, and can recite several important passages in the King James Bible, you can become an official. ”

Yao Shu paused. smiled: "But the books that don't suit our appetite have to be banned, Europa's readers can only read the books we prescribe, and the most needed reading is the "King James Bible" and "Four Books and Five Classics". In the future, if you want to become a priest or a magistrate, you have to take a reading exam. Books that have nothing to do with the imperial examination. We must find a way to destroy or modify the ban step by step. Especially those books left over from ancient Rome and ancient Greece must be strictly forbidden! ”

Ancient Greece and ancient Rome books, Yao Shu also got some, all of which were sent by Liu Xiaoyuan. The history recorded in these books and the ideas spread were greatly detrimental to the rule of the Great Mongols! It's all ruined, how can it be reassured?

"It's not easy, is it?" Kublai Khan shook his head and pondered, "We have all the books on our own territory. But what about the books left on someone else's turf? Iberia and Italy may not be able to conquer it for a while. England is even more protected by the sea, and the navy is in Hong Kong, so it is not easy to attack Britain across the sea. ”

Although the current military campaign was relatively smooth, Kublai Khan did not think too much about the Europas. In his opinion. The military power of the Europa was comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty before the rise of Chen Dexing. The superiority of their navy in the Mediterranean can be compared with the superiority of the Great Song naval forces on the Yangtze River. Although their crossbows were inferior to the Song people's divine arm bows, they could barely resist the bows and arrows of the Great Mongols. And their knights' fighting skills are obviously stronger than the Song army! If it weren't for their poor organization and command, the battle of the Vistula would have been in the battle. They could inflict at least considerable losses on the Mongols.

Moreover, in the future battles against Iberia and Italy. The Europa annexes are the main force! Kublai Khan could not rely on the bannermen to charge into battle, and his Eight Bannermen could only be used for deterrence. At most, you can fight the Europa on the plains, but you don't dare to use them to fight a battle that consumes people's lives.

Otherwise, we will have to repeat the mistakes made in the Central Plains. Therefore, there is a good chance that the battle for Europa will be protracted.

Of course, Yao Shu had already thought of this, and he nodded and said, "Great Khan, we can close all the ports and passes for trade with Italy, Iberia, and England, and not associate with them, and prohibit the Europa people in the Great Khan's territory from going there. In this way, there will naturally be no forbidden books flowing in! ”

Kublai Khan furrowed his eyebrows, squinted his triangular eyes and thought for a long time, "It's all forbidden, and the business is not done?" That's a lot of tax loss, right? ”

"Business can be done," Yao Shu thought for a moment, "but it can't be done everywhere, just leave two treaty ports, one in the north facing England and the other in the south facing the Mediterranean." ”

"Two people are allowed to trade, and it is forbidden anywhere else?"

"It's all forbidden," Yao Shu nodded heavily, "It has to be so, otherwise how can you manage it?" He paused, and then said, "The land pass can be guarded with heavy troops, and the Eight Banners can be used to arrest smuggling." As for the sea, the Europatons in the territory of the Great Khan must not be allowed to make large ships that can sail far away, at most some fishing boats can be built......"

“…… In the first century of Tiandao, the Chinese ushered in the era of great voyages and colonization, and the blood and culture of the Chinese were scattered throughout the earth. But this is a real disaster for civilizations in the rest of the world! Because these Chinese, who claim to be civilized people and think that they have mastered advanced science and civilization, will spare no effort to destroy the local civilization wherever they go. They burned books on history and philosophy, and captured and slaughtered intellectuals who had mastered the cultural ideas and history of all generations. A long civilization, no matter how brilliant its past, is worthless, dangerous, and must be destroyed in the eyes of these Chinese colonizers! They are not the disseminators of culture and civilization, they are the destroyers of culture and civilization! ”

———— above is an excerpt from the French revolutionary Napoleon. Bonaparte's Letter to Europa, Africa, Arabia, Persia and India.

Note that the great revolutionary Napoleon. In this eloquent essay, Bonaparte refers to the "Chinese" rather than to the Ming Empire. Because according to the research of the great revolutionaries, it was not only the Ming Empire that "burned books and pit Confucianism", but also the other two "Chinese regimes" that existed with the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the first century of the Heavenly Dao. In the process of expansion, the Great Mongols and the Great Song Dynasty (Li Song) also adopted a policy of destroying the culture and history of the conquered. And more radical than the Ming Empire.

The latter also collected and preserved a large number of ancient books of various civilizations, and also accepted many intellectuals who fled into exile due to the fall of the motherland or for some other reason. But the Great Mongols and the Great Song only knew how to destroy culture...... Yes. The Great Song Dynasty, which was once known for its generosity, is now under the pressure of survival and has become as extreme as the Great Mongolia!

At least in the eyes of many Chinese readers, the Great Song Dynasty has become unrecognizable over the years.

A shabby-looking Japanese galleys merchant ship arrived at the pier of the port near the mouth of the Irrawaddy River, a wide river called the Oko River, which could be connected to the sea. Therefore, Daguang Port used to be an important port town in the Bagan Kingdom, and now it has become Daguang Mansion on the Great Song Dynasty Sea Road, which is a little more prosperous than in the past.

Because it's close to the sea. The climate here is also the most comfortable in Bagan, with blue clouds and warm sea breezes. It's not as hot as in the hinterland, and the spread of miasma is not too severe.

After Bagan was annexed by the Great Song Dynasty, Daguang Province quickly became the favorite city of the Great Song magnates who went south. Population and wealth amassed rapidly, and commerce grew rapidly. The wharf is bustling with local coolies waiting to load and unload goods. The greetings and cheers of Chinese and Burmese rang out. Less than ten miles north of the wharf, there is also a city under construction, the outer wall is rammed earth and bricks, and the city gate tower with flying eaves and arches has been built. It looks like an ordinary Chinese city.

This city, of course, is the city of Daguangfu, and it is also the seat of the new Great Song Dynasty in the future - the capital of the Great Song Empire is still Kaifeng Prefecture, although the Great Song Dynasty will never be able to recover it again. When Wen Tianxiang arrived outside the city of Daguangfu, the city wall was still under construction. Only a small half of the rammed earth brick city wall with a height of two zhang and a half zhang at its widest point was completed. The rest is mostly made with wooden fences.

The great navigator Wen Tianxiang was still a little seasick, and he was now a Chinese merchant who lived in Japan - many Chinese merchants lived in the Japanese-controlled ports of Namba, Hakata, and Heiankyo, where Chinese was also widely spoken. Japanese people who often interact with Chinese businessmen can say a little bit. The Japanese in the upper echelons are also learning Chinese, and they are all Tendoists. And Chinese is the "official language" of Tiandaoism. Tiandaojiao not only promoted the Chinese language outside the Ming Dynasty, but also promoted the official language within the Ming Dynasty. The use of the Latin alphabet to phonetize the Chinese language created the so-called "Tiandao Pinyin", which has also become a compulsory course in the Ming Dynasty. Because of the emergence of this "Tiandao Pinyin", it is now relatively easy for Tiandao disciples in Japan and Goryeo to master Chinese. In Tendo Japan, "kana" and Japanese are gradually disappearing, and Hanyin has become the official language.

Although this change made it easier for Wen Tianxiang, a Han Chinese, to live in Tiandao Japan, he was quite disgusted with Tiandaoism and did not want to live for a long time in a country where Tiandao was the state religion (in fact, only half of it was actually Buddhism and Shintoism).

The homeland that haunts him will always be the Great Song Dynasty!

But can this be considered a great song? Wen Tianxiang walked on the street leading to the south gate of Daguang Mansion with a few Japanese entourage, but there was no joy in his heart that the wanderer had returned home. Originally, he just wanted to go to Dali in Bagan, but he didn't expect that when he stepped off the galleys he bought in Namba, he had already arrived in Dasong.

Because the kingdom of Bagan ended a month and a half ago! The last king of Bagan, Jiao Sihua (whose father Naroti Hahapo Di disappeared after the Battle of the Jida River and did not return to Bagan, and the army he brought with him was almost wiped out) formally asked the Great Song Emperor Zhao Yu to accept his "annexation" and dedicate all the land and books to the Great Song Empire, which protected Bagan.

"It's too ugly, isn't it?" Looking at the Great Song Dragon Banner at the head of Daguangfu City, Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but sigh. Bagan is not the land of the Great Song Dynasty, just accept it as a vassal, so the red fruit fruit is annexed, and it is impatient to start, how can the natives of Bagan be convinced? There will definitely be people who will rise up to resist, and then they will be ruined. Even if the Great Song Dynasty wins by luck, it will also ruin the name of benevolence, but I am afraid that the barbarians in all directions will equate the Great Song Dynasty with the Tyrant Ming.

Now we can only rely on more benevolent government to win back people's hearts. Wen Tianxiang thought of this, and couldn't help but speed up his pace. He has experience in educating barbarians - Daming's actions in Mingzhou are living negative teaching materials! Although he succeeded for a while, the population loss of Mingzhou was too great, and the originally densely populated prosperous places have become dead cities and wastelands, and he had to find ways to immigrate from the Central Plains tens of thousands of miles away, which is really a waste of money and labor, and the effect is not significant. The Ming Dynasty has a large population and a thick foundation, so it can withstand the toss, and the Great Song Dynasty does not have the capital to mess around like this now......

"Burn! Hurry up and burn! A familiar voice faintly sounded in Wen Tianxiang's ears. Wen Tianxiang, who was hurrying with his head down, looked up, and there was a place in front of him where there were white towers, large and small, lined up in a row, as if there were dozens or hundreds. There is also a gate composed of exquisite woodcarvings in the middle of the white pagoda, and the carvings are so numerous that they have no beauty. In front of the gate, there are a lot of people watching the excitement, there are shirtless natives, and there are also Han people with horizontal knives - most of them are Han merchants, Daguang Port was originally a small commercial port, and there are many Han merchants coming and going. And after the Great Song Dynasty took control of Bagan, it became more and more prosperous. Because Bagan is rich in rice and elephants (elephants are an important export commodity of Bagan, and in Nanfan and Tianzhu, they are also production tools), and the prices are very cheap, it has become an important source of materials for the Eight-Nation Coalition fighting in Tianzhu. However, it is not easy for the officials of the eight countries to come forward, after all, the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty has not yet ended. So he could only entrust the merchant to come forward, and the traces of Han merchants could naturally be seen everywhere in the commercial port of Daguangfu.

Wen Tianxiang walked over quickly, he was tall, even if he stood on the periphery of the crowd, he could see the situation inside clearly. The crowd formed a huge semicircle, and in the middle of the semicircle were many books piled up, which seemed to be Buddhist scriptures or something. There was also a group of soldiers in shiny cuirass and spears maintaining order. There was also an officer-like man who lit the books with torches. A big Song official wearing a purple robe and a long head was standing next to the pile of books, it was Su Liuyi, Wen Tianxiang's colleague when he was an official in Lin'an. It's as if he was directing the book burning!

In addition, several monks, young and old, were also escorted out of the temple by several Song soldiers, all of them with panicked faces, as if they were about to face a catastrophe...... (To be continued......)
