Chapter 758: The Eight-Nation Alliance under the Ten Thousand Words

The autumn breeze suddenly rose, and the fallen leaves rustling all over the courtyard poured up the steps of the Zichen Palace.

Chen Dexing, a sage of the Ming Dynasty, sat on the throne, holding a tea cup in his left hand and his right arm on the table in front of him. On the desk, there is a flag. The background color of the flag was red, with a white circle in the middle, and a big black swastika on it. It looks so familiar!

This is a military flag sent from Bali in the South Seas, and it is the new military flag of the British army. Well, of course, not Prince Edward's British army, but King Chen Huaiqing's British army. Chen Jiying's army is going back to Tianzhu to promote Buddhism, so naturally he can't fly the sun and moon flag, which is the banner of Tiandaoism, and only countries with Tiandao as the state religion can use it. Tianzhu Great Britain is a Buddhist country - of course, it has to fly the banner of Buddhism. And the banner of Buddhism is this swastika flag.

Red background, white circle, black swastika...... However, this swastika is a Buddhist swastika, not a Nazi swastika, and there is still a difference between the two. The biggest difference is that the people who carry the flag are different.

Sent together with this British flag, there is also a battle plan for the conquest of Tianzhu, which does not have too many details, just a rough plan. To sum up, it is "if you want to conquer Tianzhu, you must first conquer Arakan".

Because the current Tianzhu seems to also have a Ming monarch. In Chen Huaiqing's recital, a person's name is repeatedly mentioned: Giastin. Paleban. He was the Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate, a descendant of the Turkic aristocracy (self-proclaimed, not necessarily expensive), who was reduced to slavery and sold to Tianzhu - the Mamluk Baibers was probably a fellow countryman and was also sold into slave soldiers. And this Balleban experience is similar to that of Baibers, who can fight well. He rose to the pre-eminent position of a minister, and three years ago became the Sultan of Delhi.

And Tianzhu is now a troubled time (there has been no peace). In particular, the Northern Tianzhu region, controlled by the Delhi Sultanate, has been under threat from the Ilkhanate, which ruled Afghanistan, for many years. Although a large-scale invasion did not take place. But small-scale wars are fought every year. Giastin. Paleban can be promoted step by step by relying on military merits, and in the end, Dick Si counterattacked and became the sultan, and he will definitely not be a weakling. If Chen Huaiqing rashly landed on the territory of the Delhi Sultan, he might hit his head and break his blood. Chen Huaiqing, who suffered on the island of Java, is now much more cautious.

So he planned to seize the small Buddhist state of Arakan on the border between Tianzhu and Kampo (Burma) first. The kingdom of Arakan seems to be a good target for invasion, and is now attached to the Ganpu dynasty. Like all Buddhist-obsessed nations, the Arakanese were weakened and unable to resist a formidable foreign enemy, simply because of its distance from the Delhi Sultanate. It's not invaded for the time being (but it's coming soon). Moreover, the western coastal area of the country also has an important commercial port of Jida, which can be used as a springboard for Chen Huaiqing to enter Tianzhu.

What's more, the Chittagong area is also one of the last few sanctuaries for Tianzhu Buddhists. The Polo family had many temples and followers there, and they could assist Chen Huaiqing in ruling Jida and the neighboring Bengal region.

Relying on the support of these Buddhists, Chen Huaiqing's Great Britain was able to confront the Delhi Sultanate, which believed in the Celestial Religion.

"Use Buddhism to fight against the Tianfang ......Sect," Chen Dexing said to himself, "If you turn this swastika to the right and tilt it a little more, you will probably be able to hold the Tianfang Sect, right?" ”

Chen Defang, who was standing beside him, was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Second brother." Are you serious? ”

This flag and the plan to invade Tianzhu were brought to Beijing by Chen Defang himself. He also came north this time for another purpose, which was to pick up his mother, that is, Chen Dexing's biological mother, to Bali - of course. A large number of Chen Huaiqing's little wives and concubines also have to go with them.

Prior to this, Chen Defang had been in the Strait of Malacca for many years, and of course he knew how powerful Tianzhu's Tianfang Sect was. And how sad Buddhism is. It has now been squeezed into the mountains north and northeast of Tianzhu, the kingdom of Arakan and the island of Ceylon, which is subject to the Kingdom of Bagan (Burma).

Compared with the brave and warlike Celestial Sectarians, those Buddhists who eat fasting and recite Buddha are simply vulnerable. Do you want to change the 10,000-character flag? Buddhists will be able to fight? Chen Defang looked at his younger brother in a white robe, and he looked like an immortal - he was different from his father Chen Huaiqing. On the question that his younger brother may be the reincarnation of a god, he would rather believe in it than believe in it.

Just do what he says! I'll talk to my dad when I go back, I must change. Chen Defang thought to herself.

Chen Dexing just smiled casually and was noncommittal. He just said casually, the five scum of the Buddhist war is certain, even if the 10,000-character flag is changed, he will not become a Nazi.

"Okay, that's it." Chen Dexing nodded and said, "It's good to pacify Arakan first, Arakan is also a Buddhist country, and there is a good port." ”

He paused, and then said, "After the conquest of Arakan, move as many of the natives of Malacca as possible." The Three Buddhas also took it with them. In the future, they will be given a fief in Bengal, even if it is a vassal of the British. ”

"Brother Chen, I must tell His Royal Highness." Chen Defang said respectfully.

Chen Dexing waved to Pasipa who was standing opposite the imperial case, asked him to take a few steps forward, and then knocked on the table and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this flag?" ”

"Extremely majestic." His Holiness said perfunctorily.

"Okay, then you can use it too."

The Dharma King was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Wanzi Banner and frowned deeply, "The saint means that the poor monk wants the poor monk to submit to His Royal Highness?" ”

"That's not it, it's just a flag...... Buddhists are not as good at fighting as Tianfang Christians, if they are not united, how can they spread the Dharma in Tianzhu? By the way, Your Holiness, what are your plans? After entering Tianzhu, will he stand on his own, or will he just be a monk? ”

Chen Dexing looked at the Dharma King, "If you want to make a country, I will seal you a country, and the monks can take care of it, even if it is a Buddhist country with the integration of politics and religion." ”

There was not much surprise on His Holiness face, because he knew that Chen Dexing's "sealing" was one thing, and whether he could be beaten down was another. He has some knowledge of the situation in the Tianzhu countries south of the Himalayas. It is either the world of Brahmins or the territory of the Celestial Sect. Even the Buddha's hometown, Nepora, is now ruled by a Brahmin. Although there are still a few Buddhists in Neporo, they are also very close to the Uszang Lama across the Himalayas. But they don't have much military power and don't play much role on the battlefield.

The only one who could fight alongside Phags-pa was the kingdom of Ladakh, founded by the descendants of the Tibetan Zampu. The kingdoms of Ladakh and Guge are brothers, but this regime is not currently under the jurisdiction of the Uszang, but only has religious ties with the Sakya sect and can be relied on as allies. However, the situation of the country of Ladakh was not good, and it was suppressed by the Celestial Sect in the mountains near Uszang. It is all dependent on the dangerous terrain to maintain the situation, and there is no power to fight back.

"Can't you beat it?" Chen Dexing looked at His Holiness Sakya.

His Holiness shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The poor monk is a lama and does not like to kill......

It is certain that the lama will not fight, otherwise Uszang would not have fallen to the point where he is now.

Chen Dexing smiled and said, "This is easy to do, some of my subordinates are people who like to kill!" Shi Tianze, Liu Quan, Yu Xing, Lu Wende, all four of them like to kill, you can pick one. I asked him to fight for you, to defeat Nepolo, and to make you a feudal country. Although the territory of this Nepolo is not as large as that of Uszang, it is much richer and more populous than Uszang. In the future, even if Nepolo is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, how about guarding the Us-Tibet border for the Ming Dynasty? ”

According to Chen Dexing's plan, the border between Wusizang and Tianzhu should be blocked as much as possible to prevent the Tianzhu people from entering. At the same time, several more subject states were sealed on the southern slopes of the Himalayas and Kashmir in later generations, as a buffer between the Ming Dynasty and Tianzhu.

In this way, the population of Uszang can be safely emptied, and it will become a largely uninhabited area.

And to realize this plan, the biggest difficulty is, of course, to take Neporo. The current Tubo is not the Tang Dynasty, and it has no combat effectiveness at all. Relying on them, not to mention the Delhi Sultanate, even the Brahmin dynasty of Neporo, most of them could not be defeated. So they have to find a helper to help them fight. Fortunately, there were many reactionary warlords in the Ming Dynasty, and a few of them were sent abroad to help the people of Tianzhu. Of course, it is impossible to help in vain. Once Neporo is pacified, it will become a large rear for the continuation of the conquest of Tianzhu. Moreover, the logistical supply of this Han army that went south to Tianzhu along the way had to be solved by the Sakya faction.

In the end, the Great Treasure King of the Sakya School chose Shi Tianze, who finally had a few connections with him, to go south to Tianzhu together.

And Ba Si Pa and Shi Tianze have also been given the title of king, because Ba Si Pa is the "King of France", so he was crowned the king of France, in this time and space, Nepal has a very high country name - France!

Shi Tianze was crowned the king of Su - I am afraid it will be difficult to restrain De (Delhi Sultan) by Britain and France alone, why do you have to add a Su? Otherwise, it doesn't look safe.

In addition to Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, Zhao Lin'er's Song State, LΓΌ Wenhuan's LΓΌ State, and the Srivijaya State, as well as the Ladakh State, and the Guge State, a total of eight countries will participate in the Tianzhu War. And these eight countries are all practicing the way of Buddhism governing the mind and Confucianism. It does not take Tiandaoism as the state religion (Tiandaoism is too discordant and not suitable for the good-natured Tianzhu people), so it is not a Huaxia country, but a Huaxia subject country. Therefore, there is no need for the sun and moon flags, and all of them are banners with the Buddhist swastika flag.

This is the "Eight-Nation Coalition under the Banner of 10,000 Characters" in the history books of later generations. The eight countries under the banner of 10,000 words, after the end of this "Tianzhu Dharma War", each dominated one side and divided the Tianzhu Kingdom into eight. (To be continued......)
