795 Dawn of Peace? The second more
The big chapter of 4,000 words, there is another chapter today, which will be uploaded at six o'clock in the evening, and it will not be updated at twelve o'clock at noon. After that, it will be two a day. In addition, Rollo cheekily asked for a few more monthly passes. Rolo begged
March of the 6th year of the Great Tomorrow Road, Somapura Temple.
Located on the outskirts of Bogra, the former capital of the Baltic Kingdom, this huge temple was built during the most powerful era of the Bala Dynasty, also known as the Great Monastery, and was once the center of Mahayana Buddhism. Although the scale is not as large as the Nalanda Temple, the Chaojie Temple and the Flying Temple, because of its proximity to the capital of the kingdom, Bogra, its magnificence is much more than that.
However, that was before the Celestial army took over Bogra, and the huge temple (which was already a Brahmin temple before the arrival of the Celestial Cult army) was ruthlessly sacked and then converted into a Celestial Temple. All the statues of Buddha and Brahmins were smashed or buried, and the places where the Buddha was once worshipped became a place of prayer to the true God.
If it weren't for the fact that it was too far from Delhi, the Somapura Temple would have been demolished and its building materials would have been turned into part of the Great Tianfang Temple, the "True God Power".
And now, this ancient temple has once again ushered in a catastrophe, and everything related to the Heavenly Sect is about to be knocked out with a hammer again...... The temple has been "renovated" three times in a few decades, and it turns out that it is almost unrecognizable!
……
"They're demolishing the Tianfang Temple!"
"It's a crime!"
"Hell is to be fired!"
The roar of Persian suddenly sounded in Liu Bingzhong's ears, he stopped his pen, lifted the curtain of the pack car and looked out. I saw the convoy arrive outside a large palace-like building under construction. Many are topless. The tanned Tianzhu natives are dismantling and smashing things with tools. Inside the temple gate, it seems that something is still burning.
The soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate who escorted him were furious. Shouting, a few people also drew their bright scimitars to scare the natives who were working. The natives were like frightened birds and beasts. Scattered and fled. The Sultanate soldiers laughed again, smugly.
Liu Bingzhong shook his head slightly, he was now on his way to the Central Plains. He was ordered by Kublai Khan to negotiate with Chen Dexing, and he also brought Kublai Khan's surrender and rich gifts. However, he did not choose to take the route of the Western Regions, but took the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, Tianzhu, and then went to the Central Plains. The purpose was to go to Tianzhu to meet Chen Huaiqing, the king of Tianzhu Great Britain, hoping that he could come forward to be a peacemaker.
Because the Delhi Sultanate of Tianzhu had formed an alliance with the Great Mongolia, Liu Bingzhong was warmly welcomed by the Delhi Sultan after arriving in Tianzhu, and he also sent people to escort him all the way - the original Delhi Sultan Gias-al-Din. Paleban also wanted to use this opportunity to make peace with the Ming Dynasty. Just when Kublai Khan was in Europa. The Eight-Nation Coalition in China also made the Delhi Sultanate overwhelmed.
In fact, the Delhi Sultanate simply did not dare to parry. In the face of the invasion of the "Eight-Nation Alliance", they only shrank across the board. There are too many soldiers in the Eight-Nation Alliance, with no less than 200,000 soldiers! And they are killed from all directions, the Himalayas in the north, and the seas in the southeast, west, and west, all of which can't stop them! How many people are there in the Delhi Sultanate? They are not the real Ah San here in Tianzhu, they themselves are outsiders, a group of Dick Silk mercenaries from Afghanistan, the Western Regions and Persia counterattacked the position. The number of people is not very large. It's just forty great families, two thousand Itak nobles (small families) and tens of thousands of foreign mercenaries.
And unlike the later Mughal dynasty, the Delhi Sultanate had a very bad relationship with the Brahmins in Tianzhu, and basically did not know how to encircle the Brahmins - the Brahmins were all idolatry, all Kafir. It's already polite not to kill it, how can it still be reused?
Therefore, the Delhi Sultanate is now relying on tens of thousands of foreign dick silk mercenaries to maintain its rule, and there is not even indigenous cannon fodder. Giastin. How dare Balban score the troops. An abacus outside the enemy's door? He was also one of the most famous generals of his time, and he repeatedly defeated the invasions of the Chagatai Khanate and the Ilkhanate in history. Compared to those knights in Europa. He was a very good soldier (he climbed from slave to sultan step by step by virtue of his military exploits), and of course he knew how to concentrate his forces. Lure the enemy deeper, and then look for an opportunity to defeat the invaders individually.
Of course, this is easier said than done. Considering that both sides are actually aggressors, it is impossible for anyone to win the support of the people of Tianzhu. The current situation is too unfavorable for the Delhi Sultanate. So Giastin. The Sultan of Palepan also decisively sent an envoy to sue for peace, and with a rich gift and Liu Bingzhong, went to the city of Bogda, which had just been occupied by Chen Huaiqing, to sue for peace—if the peace could be achieved, then there would be no need to risk luring the enemy deep and being broken by the enemy to fight against the seemingly very powerful Eight-Nation Alliance.
After all, there are too few Master Ithac and foreign mercenaries, and if one dies less, tens of thousands of deaths will become extinct! And tens of thousands of dead on the side of the Eight-Nation Coalition will be able to recruit new recruits from China immediately.
But Giastine. The Sultan of Balpan's wise decisions were not understood by the group of Ithaq nobles and mercenaries below. As soon as the guards escorting the mission entered the area controlled by the Great Britain in Tianzhu, they looked for an opportunity to find fault with it. Now that I see someone who dares to turn Tianfang Temple into a Buddhist temple, how can I bear it? Immediately, he was angry with the Tianzhu native coolies who were working.
Alas, what a sin, what a good temple, what has it been tossed into......
Liu Bingzhong just sighed, he really couldn't understand, what kind of immortals to believe in was his own business, let alone to impose his own teachings on others? Isn't it good that the religions are in harmony?
He himself was a Confucian, a Buddhist, and a Taoist, and recently prepared to convert to Christianity in line with Kublai Khan's plan to become a Christian patriarch.
Kublai Khan had already told him that he would be a cardinal archbishop in charge of compiling the King James Bible, and he was reading the Bible translated by Liu Xiaoyuan along the way. I'm still revising while reading.
Revise the Bible!? What kind of cardinal is this?
However, in the view of the future Archbishop Liu, there are many problems with Christianity now, and it is necessary to reform it. It is best to refer to the Heavenly Daoism to change. Isn't there a Ming King in the Heavenly Taoist Sect? Christianity should do something similar, and arrange for a Christ brother to go down to earth! Let His Majesty the Great Khan be the brother of Christ. The second brother of God's family......
Liu Bingzhong, who was thinking about adding some children and grandchildren to God, suddenly heard a loud "bang" at this time.
Liu Bingzhong, who was taken aback, turned his head to look. A group of musketeers in shining steel armor rushed out of the temple gate, led by a man with a black face, whose musket was already on a three-legged wooden frame, and the muzzle of the gun was still smoking. Less than twenty steps away from him, a mercenary from the Delhi Sultanate was already on all fours on the ground, and several mercenary lords around him were all stunned.
The Eight-Nation Coalition is also unreasonable, right? I didn't give a warning, and I killed people when I came up?
Also, what kind of weapon did they use? Why did it slam, and then a warrior with strong martial arts lay on the ground with no breath in?
It was no one else who shot him, it was Lai Toad, who had just been promoted to second lieutenant platoon commander. He is now the platoon leader of a musketeer platoon, in charge of 20 musketeers and 10 sword and shield men—because the musketeers have only been around for a long time, no one knows how to use them, so the establishment is constantly changing. Then I saw that 20 musketeers were already in two rows, and 10 sword and shield men were holding up their shields in front of them and kneeling on one knee. Then the first row of musketeers put the heavy Heavenly Dao two-year-style arquebus on the shield.
Is this going to be shot indiscriminately? Liu Bingzhong really couldn't sit still this time, and shouted repeatedly: "Don't shoot!" Don't shoot! We are the envoys of the Great Mongols! It's a ...... to meet His Royal Highness."
At the same time as he shouted, a man wearing a red monk's robe looked white and chubby. The lama, who was about 50 years old, also got out of another pannier. When he saw the dead man on the ground, he jumped to his feet and shouted in Chinese: "I am the Vajra Master Baima Temu, I have arrived by order of His Royal Highness the King of England with the guests of Mongolia and Delhi, do not shoot......"
Baima Temu is the great lama of Baima Monastery who is attached to the Sakya school. He once followed his uncle Pandita to Liangzhou to meet the Mongols, but later stayed in the Central Plains for a long time and learned to speak Chinese fluently. Later, he followed Hülegü on an expedition to Persia and a great eat. He opened a White Horse Monastery in Persia and proclaimed himself the Vajra Master. Because he needed to preach to the Persians, he learned Persian.
This time, he was sent by Abaha to Liu Bingzhong as an entourage. I have been to Bogda before and met Chen Huaiqing. got Chen Huaiqing's edict, so he brought the team to Bogda. Just now he was in the pannier chair with a Persian Buddha mother in double practice meditation, suddenly heard a gunshot, frightened the second child soft, quickly packed up and got out of the pannier, and saw that there was a death.
"Is he an envoy?" Lai Toad threw the empty arquebus to a musketeer behind him, then pulled out his big horizontal knife and pointed at the dead man on the ground, and asked in a calm voice.
"It's not ......" Baima Temu looked at the bright big knife, and felt a chill on the back of his neck - these third-class men are now overturned, and all the killings have been killed in Tianzhu!
"No, that's fine!" Lai Toad snorted, "The king is resting in the temple, these people dare to show their knives outside the temple gate, they deserve to be killed!" If you, the lama, are not convinced, just go and talk to the king! ”
Opinions? Baima Temu sucked in the cold air and shook his head, what does this have to do with him? He just brought people in, and if he wanted to talk about it, it was Liu Bingzhong and the great Wazir Kekobad of the Delhi Sultanate.
……
Chen Huaiqing straightened the cotton robe on his body and stood up. He asked in a low voice to the two people who were standing beside him, Dharma Polo and Kuma Zhiporo, "Has the Mongol and Delhi Sultan's mission arrived?" ”
Dharma Polo smiled and waved his hand to let down several girls in the main hall dressed in bright gauzes, all of whom were selected from the Brahmin and Kshatriya caste families around Bogda City who were preparing to convert to Buddhism, and were ready to train to become Buddha mothers and send them to the British Queen's Harem.
And this Somapura temple is also going to be renamed the Great Britain Temple, as the royal temple of the British Kingdom, and it will also be the residence of the British King. Because the palace in Bogda was burned down by the governor of the Delhi Sultanate, Chen Huaiqing lived in part of the palace that had just been renovated during this time.
Chen Huaiqing nodded silently, "What happened to the gunshot just now?" ”
"It was the guards of the Delhi Sultanate who drew their swords to drive away the people, and let the guards kill one of them with muskets. ”
"Driving out the people? Why? ”
"Because the people removed the mark of the Heavenly Fang Sect in the temple."
"What does this have to do with them?" Chen Huaiqing frowned, "The Great British Temple belongs to the Lone King, not to the Delhi Sultan!" He snorted, "The envoys of the Sultan of Delhi dare to make trouble at the door of the Lone King's house, and the Lone King does not see them, but today he only sees the Mongol envoys!" ”
Kuma Chipolo and Dharmapolo glanced at each other, and both showed joy. The two of them knew that Chen Huaiqing was just looking for an excuse to expel the envoy of the Delhi Sultanate. All he really wanted to see was the envoy of the Great Mongols - it was possible to negotiate peace with the Mongols, but the war with the Delhi Sultanate had to continue until it was destroyed!
This also means that the light of the Dharma will soon be shining throughout the heavens!
Liu Bingzhong and Baima Tiemu Grand Lama did not bring any followers, and under the guidance of a young British officer, they walked along the corridor of the Great British Temple to the British Palace. The entrance was full of heavily guarded guards. Seeing these soldiers in steel armor, with steel helmets on their heads, and large horizontal swords in their hands, visitors felt the smell of gunpowder in the air. Just now, the envoys of the Delhi Sultan have been expelled, the door to peace talks is completely closed, and it seems that the war in Tianzhu will continue.
The three of them turned a few corners to the door of the main hall, and the guards guarding at the door respectfully opened the door, and as soon as they walked in, they saw that the hall that could accommodate hundreds of people was empty, and only three people were seated. Two of them are obviously Bai Fan here in Tianzhu, one is an elderly monk, the other is a beautiful woman, both of them are standing around a Hu bed, and there is a tall man in a white robe sitting on the Hu bed, in his fifties, with majesty in his eyes, thinking that it is Chen Huaiqing, the king of Great Britain.
"Attend the King." The young officer knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Mongolian envoy Liu Bingzhong, Baima Temu bring." ”
Baima Temu also knelt down and bowed to worship. Liu Bingzhong didn't kneel, but just bowed: "Liu Bingzhong, the envoy of the Great Mongolian State, has seen the king. ”
"Liu Bingzhong, you saw King Lone, why didn't you kneel?" Chen Huaiqing asked coldly.
"Liu Bingzhong is an envoy of the kingdom, and he does not kneel to be the king of the country." Liu Bingzhong replied. "For example, today, the people who can be called the upper kingdom are the Ming Dynasty and the Great Mongolia, the Western Khan and the Eastern Emperor, go hand in hand, regardless of superiority. Although the king is the father of the Ming saint, after all, he is only the king of the Ming Dynasty, and the son of heaven is first-class. You don't have to kneel down! (To be continued......)
