Chapter 87: The Distant Bowl (3)
Raising the binoculars, the holy city of Jerusalem of the Cross religion was reflected more clearly in Kublai Khan's eyes. Compared with the famous cities that Kublai Khan attacked, Jerusalem was no more majestic and looked much lower and more dilapidated. What makes the city famous is not its size, but its history.
Jerusalem was originally the capital of the Jews, and in the ninth century B.C., Jerusalem was the capital of the southern Jewish kingdom and Samaria, the capital of the kingdom of Isbelael in the north. Around 722 B.C., the Assyrian Empire destroyed the kingdom of Joy, but failed to breach the walls of Jerusalem. More than 100 years later, in 586 BC, Jerusalem was conquered and destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon, and the First Temple was burned.
A large number of people were forcibly relocated to Babylon and began to be displaced. There seemed to be no end to the centuries of "Babylon's captivity", but the Persians came and conquered Babylon, allowing the Jews to return to Palestine and rebuild Jerusalem. In the centuries that followed, Jewish Palestine maintained a degree of autonomy as a province of Persia, Greece, and Rome. Around 19 BC, King Herod of Judea, who was under the protection of the Roman Empire, rebuilt the Temple, known as the Second Temple.
At this time, Jerusalem was still the land of the Israelites, a holy place for the religion of pleasure.
Putting down the binoculars, Kublai Khan looked at the banner of the Joy Profession in the military formation, which was probably the most war-free team in Kublai Khan's armies. However, these people seem to be loyal. They originally moved to Kaifeng, and after the Jin destroyed the Song Dynasty, they turned to the Jin country. The Jin Kingdom was wiped out, and the people of Yici Joy turned to Mongolia. Because of the appearance of the Semu people and the ability to manage money, these people mix well in Mongolia.
After the Great Song Dynasty broke through Kaifeng, only the Han people remained. But the Yici Leye people, who had migrated peacefully to Kaifeng early on, were given the opportunity to choose between escaping back to Mongol-controlled territory or following the non-Han Chinese in Kaifeng. As soon as the people of Joy made a decisive choice to survive, they ran to Dadu.
After that, most of them were conquered by the Song army, and the people of Yici Leye continued to run away with the Mongolian army. Upon learning that Kublai Khan was going to capture Jerusalem, the people volunteered to form an army and go into battle, all they wanted was to establish a Jewish kingdom that would be subjugated to the Mongol Empire.
Except for a small number of Yicile Ye military flags, Kublai Khan's army was more of a Nestorian banner. Including Kublai Khan's most important boss, Boyan Dashuai also wore a white silk cloak, and behind the cloak was a huge red Maltese cross.
Nestorianism is a sinicized cross religion. Not long after the Second Temple was built, two important people were born. It is said that in 6 B.C., a man named John was born in Jerusalem. At this time, the Yicile Profession Religion was passed down for thousands of years, and even spread to Ethiopia in Africa. The priests of the Ectorial Religion gave full play to their business acumen and used the Ectori Cult to collect all kinds of money. This kind of accumulation of wealth has aroused the dissatisfaction of the bottom of the industry.
The canon of the religion of the Joy of Joy also claims that the people of the Joy of Joy are God's chosen people. This made a large number of non-Jews who believed in the religion of Joy and Happiness very dissatisfied. No matter how hard you work together, as long as you don't have the bloodline of a ci Leye, you won't be able to enter the paradise depicted by the Yijule karma teaching.
Calls for fairer treatment have been around for a long time and have become more intense with the establishment of the Second Temple. The boy with the common name 'John' was born and raised in Jerusalem, the center of the Jewish religion. The true history of how he became a Reformer is not known, but in the fictional history, Yahweh, who signed the Old Testament with a man of pleasure, pokes out of thin air his XX and impregnates the virgin Mary. And in the vast world, only this 'John' heard the Lord's call and became a prophet.
I think this was a very bold religious plan at the time, because it was said that there were various 'prophecies'. The prophecy says that although Bethlehem is just a small city of happiness, it has many stories! In the future, a mighty and mighty God will be born from Bethlehem as Jehovah's chief spokesman and agent, exercising authority over the world with a good karma. Until then, the LORD will deliver Israel into the hands of his enemies, suffering two sins and two stubbles, until the woman who gives birth gives birth to a son, and then the son will be magnified by the divine power of the LORD and by the power of the Lord. This will be the Messiah.
The prophet 'St. John' made Christ Jesus, the Son of Jehovah, born in Bethlehem, the first to be "baptized" when he preached the Lord's will. This apparent intent must have angered many people, and traces of struggle can be seen in the New Testament signed between God and Christians.
When Jesus came to Caesarea in Philip, he asked his disciples: "Who do the people say about the Son of Man?" β
"Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
Jesus said to them, "Who do you say that I am? β
Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." β
Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah, for it is not flesh and blood that have revealed you, but my Father in heaven."
And I say unto thee, Thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against her.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; Whatever you bind on earth, you will be bound in heaven. Whatever you have set loose on earth, you will be released in heaven. β
He forbade his disciples not to speak to anyone.
βMatthew 16:13-20
But such high-pressure tactics led to more drastic results. Jesus was probably denounced by the traditional forces of Judaism and sent to trial. The trial of those years was a trial of two, and the people were asked to choose one to be executed. The people below demanded the release of the robber Barnabas, and Christ Jesus was crucified. On the outskirts of Jerusalem was called Golgotha, where Christ Jesus was crucified.
However, this did not bring to an end the Crucius, which had separated from the religion of Ichsia, first of all, after the death of King Herod of the Jews, and in 6 C.E., the Roman Empire abolished the autonomy of the Jews and placed them under the direct control of the Empire. This shook the hearts and minds of the local people. In 66 A.D., the Jews in Palestine broke out in the first Jewish revolt demanding independence, and in 70 A.D., the Roman Emperor Titus suppressed the Jewish revolt and ordered the destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the Temple again, and the "Second Temple" was destroyed, leaving only a section of the Holy Land that is now worshipped by Israelis - the "Western Wall".
With the heavy blow to the old religion of one-give-and-drink, the religious foundation of the Old Testament that only one-giver people could enter heaven was completely shaken. The religious foundation of the New Testament of "faith in Christ and eternal life" was promoted. It doesn't matter who you are, no matter the color of your skin, no matter your gender, just believe in Christ. After the Reformation, Christianity developed rapidly. It even became the state religion of Rome a few hundred years later.
And the people who had been driven out of Jerusalem were displaced and wandered around. In the current Mongol army, the number of Crucidian followers is not at all comparable to that of a single priest. The Crusaders were assembling their cannons and preparing to bombard the walls of Jerusalem.
On the city walls fluttered the banner of the True God. It can be seen that even in the face of the Mongol army, the True God Cult will not give up Jerusalem. Because of the extremely secret rumors, the people of the True God Cult once traveled through time and space, and listened to the business lessons of the 'Koreans' on another time and space.
After such training, the Cult of the True God directly copied the things of the Cross Religion and claimed that the prophets of the Religion were also the prophets of the Religion of the True God. The reason why the Crucifixion prophets appeared was to prepare for the appearance of the true God prophets. The prophets of the True God Cult are the true prophets.
Since then, the Three Cults of Semitic have finally completed their basic form.
After adopting the 'Korean model', Jerusalem became a holy place for the True God Church in a blink of an eye. In addition, the Cult of God ruled Jerusalem for a long time, and the local people turned to the Crusade after converting from the Cult of Joy and Karma to the Crusade.
Now, Nobunaga's Mongol Great Khan Kublai Khan arrived outside Jerusalem. Before the cannon could be assembled, the Great Khan ordered, "Go and tell the defenders of the city that once the war starts, when the city is broken, my Great Mongol will slaughter the city." β
The envoy was ordered to depart, carrying a message from the Great Khan for the final peace effort. The Mongol Great Khan was not alarmist, regardless of whether the other party believed in the religion of the One Blessing of Happiness, or the Religion of the Cross, or the Religion of the True God. As long as they dared to stand in front of the Mongol Great Khan with weapons in hand, the Great Khan would give them the same death.
The Mongol envoy entered Jerusalem alive with a message from the Mongol Great Khan. It didn't take long for the messenger to be hanged at the head of the city. It can be seen that the defenders in the city are also quite fierce. The massacre of the city was not uncommon for Jerusalem, and it had been carried out by various forces occupying Jerusalem for thousands of years.
The Babylonians took many Elixir captives, and at the same time did not hear of the existence of the Eita Delight nation in Jerusalem. The Romans completely destroyed Jerusalem when they destroyed the Second Temple, and by the end of the war, only 70,000 of the original 600,000 people in Jerusalem had been sold into slavery.
Later, the Cult of the True God ruled the area. In the first crusade of the Crusaders, the Crusaders who invaded Jerusalem slaughtered Jerusalem with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. All the 'infidels' were slaughtered, as were the Crusaders in the city. Blood was up to the horse's knees. In search of gold, the crusaders cut open corpses. Later, the corpse was directly burned to ashes, and gold and silver were found from the ashes.
Saladin's conquest of Jerusalem did not kill him, but he also ordered the Crusaders to get out of the way.
In 1228, the German Emperor Frederick II, who had been excommunicated by the Pope, launched the Sixth Crusade into Palestine without the consent of the Pope, which was a surprisingly successful attack, and Frederick II recovered the three holy cities of Palestine in one fell swoop, Jerusalem, Nazareth and Bethlehem. Later, Frederick II married Isabella II, heiress of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and crowned himself king of Jerusalem at the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem without the presence of a clergyman, after which the throne of Jerusalem passed to the German family of Hohenstaufen.
Since Frederick II conquered only a few isolated strongholds, including Jerusalem, and there was not enough buffer zone to defend Jerusalem, the results of this conquest were not destined to last, and in 1244 Jerusalem and other places were recaptured by the Kurdish Sultan Alkamil of the Ashubid dynasty, for which King Louis IX of France organized the Seventh Crusade, but was defeated by the Asubid dynasty and Mamluk of Egypt.
After that, it was the Mongols who launched another attack on Jerusalem. After so many repeated killings, the defending generals took the most direct means.
Kublai Khan did not look angry. In his life, he ordered the killing of tens of millions of people, and also saw the tragic scenes from tens of thousands to 100,000 people killed in the war with Zhao Jiaren, an official of the Great Song Dynasty. Dead messengers are not a problem at all. The Great Khan of Mongolia ordered the names of the Mongol envoys to be written down and to give good care to his family.
After first gathering the hearts of the insiders, Kublai Khan indifferently ordered, "After conquering Jerusalem, there will be no chickens and dogs." β
To kill the Mongol envoys, you must pay a price. What's more, the Mongols never spared any city that put up armed resistance.
At dawn the next day, the return artillery began to throw stoneballs at Jerusalem. Hundreds of pounds of stones pierced the air and slammed into the ground, and the defenders of Jerusalem felt the vibration. Occasionally, when it hits the city wall, the strong wall is smashed with great scars.
It didn't take long for the trebuchets in the city to fight back. Compared to the Mongols' return cannons, these things were far inferior in terms of size and range.
Marshal Boyan indifferently commanded the siege. The Mongol return artillery tried to fire from all angles, and Marshal Boyan ordered the general, "Be sure to remember where there are trebuchets in the city." β
"Yes." The generals answered.
Looking at these people, Marshal Boyan said indifferently: "You will soon attack the city, and if you know where there are no enemy trebuchets, you will be able to kill many people." Be careful with yourselves. β
"Yes." The generals replied more cautiously.
Marshal Boyan believed that these people must be very concerned about their own lives, so they stopped talking nonsense and let the generals go to the front line. The marshal looked at the map. The Great Khan's expedition to the west had brought the Crescent Belt of the Two Rivers Valley into Mongol hands. A series of famous cities, including Damascus, fly the banner of Kublai Khan. Just take Jerusalem and the road to Egypt will be opened. Thinking of Mamluk, which was entrenched in Egypt, Marshal Boyan felt as if a fire was burning in his heart.
When he was on an errand under Hulegu Khan, Boyan had some friends. Many of these people died at the hands of the despicable Mamluks. Only by destroying Mamluk can these friends be avenged. The restoration of Jerusalem was also of great significance to Nestorian Christians like Boyan.
