At the Tiber River wharf, Hao Ren prepares to board the boat. Looking at Boyan who was sent to the dock, Hao Ren said, "Dashuai...... Augustus, please come back. ”

Seeing that Hao Ren was already preparing to board the ship, Bo Yan decided to express the doubts in his heart, "The system described by Mr. Hao Jing is excellent, but I still can't figure it out, civil officials have no ethics and no ability, so why should they be reliable. ”

Hao Ren smiled slightly after hearing this, he was also puzzled by this question for a long time. I wanted to call Boyan Augustus, but I felt that I couldn't get used to it, so Hao Ren simply reverted to the habitual title, "Dashuai, the civil official at least feels that he is being a good person, and it can't be said that the civil official is born with a bad conscience." If the rulers in the country are those princes who disagree with each other and draw their swords, civil officials will not be able to become a system, let alone be the masters of the country. The successive dynasties supported the doll emperor with the Han humanistic official system. ”

These words have reached the point of small words. Boyan felt very reasonable, but he could not find an argument to support the relevant arguments. When he was confused, he heard Hao Ren say: "Dashuai, let's take a look at the "Social Contract Theory" written by Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guanjia." What I said just now was all written by the Zhao Guanjia in the classification of civilization. After being a Mongolian all my life, I only understood what a Mongolian ...... was after reading Zhao Guanjia's book."

Waiting for Hao Ren to get on the boat, Boyan Augustus waved goodbye to the lord of the Yuan State on the ship. Looking at the boat that was going farther and farther, Bo Yan felt a little melancholy in his heart, and he didn't know if he would be able to see Hao Ren alive again in his lifetime. Just as Boyan was separated from General Timid Buhua before, from King Hulegü Khan, and from Kublai Khan, separation is goodbye.

From March to May 1293, in Paris, Vienna and London, in the capitals of the major kingdoms and powers, the emissaries of the Western Roman Empire sent the news that the Western Roman Augustus had been enthroned as a state. For the Teutonic Knights, a Germanic state that had never been part of Western Rome, this news only made them wary and even hostile. To Spain, France, the Holy Roman Empire, and England, a former Roman province or part of its territory that had once belonged to Rome, their mood was only hostility and anger.

Emissaries from all over the world traveled to Rome to question the self-proclaimed Roman Augustus. At the suggestion of the new pope, the emissaries of various countries convened a council in Marienburg, the capital of the Teutonic Knights. When the envoys of the Republic of Venice arrived in Marienburg, they were immediately taken seriously. The northern states of Italy had formed a coalition to fight against Boyan's army, but now the Western Roman army had slaughtered the Duchy of Milan, and there was no news from Florence. All countries wanted to know how much the Western Roman army could fight.

After the Teutonic Knights left the Kingdom of Jerusalem, they had their headquarters in Venice for a long time, leaving Venice for Marienburg only three years earlier. Venetian envoys avoided inquiries from various countries and approached the Teutonic Knights. The Grand Master of the Order cordially received the Venice delegates in distress, and after charging a large fee, arranged for Venice to meet the Pope on his behalf.

His Holiness had experienced the captivity of Baghdad, and when he heard about the Mongol army, he felt a wave of anger in his chest. Listen to the Venice representative's lecture that the Western Roman Empire established by the Mongol army had its capital in the city of Rome, and that another pope had been installed in the city. The Pope asked, "What is the name of the priest who took refuge in the infidels?" ”

"It's a Florentine named Nicholas."

"Oh! That lying Nicholas! The Pope shouted angrily.

The Venetian envoy bowed his head, secretly happy in his heart. If it can arouse the wrath of the pope, it may be possible to send reinforcements to support the Republic of Venice as soon as possible.

The Pope's anger did not subside, and he continued to curse: "That Nicholas who was killed by God! "It's very emotional. This can't be blamed on the pope, the position of the pope rotates quite quickly, and Nicholas is the illegitimate son of the previous dozen generations of popes. Also the current Pope's rival in love. They had all pursued a baroness back then, only to be overtaken by Nicholas. When Boyan's army went to kidnap the Holy See, Nicholas, as the archbishop, happened to spend the night with the baroness, and he escaped the disaster. did not accept the humiliating prisoners of Baghdad. Unexpectedly, this despicable Bishop of Flowery Flowers defected to the Mongols at this time and became a pseudo-pope.

After cursing for a while, the Pope ignored the Venetian envoys, and immediately called the secretary bishop, and asked the secretary bishop to immediately announce the excommunication of the pseudo-pope Nicholas, so that this guy would fall into hell after death.

The Venetian envoy quietly watched the contradictions within the Holy See, suppressing the joy in his heart, and the Venetian envoy waited for the Pope to ask questions again. The news that can make the Holy See angry is good news for Venice.

Just as the Holy See was ready to convene a meeting, a group of priests on horseback came. When they were inquired, they learned that the gang had come from Rus' to provide the Holy See with information about Mongolia. Knowing this, the knights of the Teutonic Knights escorted them to Marienburg.

Questioned on the side of Marienburg, the clergy were separated from the knights who escorted them. The priest puts the two fingers of the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together and crosses the chest from top to bottom, from right to left. This heretical drawing made the knights frown. It is customary for Catholic knights to bend their right hands naturally, with the middle finger pointing at the forehead and chest to indicate the vertical of the cross, then clicking on the left and right shoulders to represent the horizontal of the cross, and finally closing the hands together.

If the knights sweep again, this heresy will be cut off from the brain. Now the biggest enemy was the Mongols, and the knights only frowned, not overly concerned.

After the Orthodox heresy was examined, the report was immediately sent to the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. The Grand Master was amazed and went to interrogate the heretics himself. In a gloomy dungeon, the regimental commander met three men who were being held in solitary confinement, and they began to converse in Latin. The one of the three heretics with the eastern face said: "Your Excellency, I am the emissary of the Kipchak Khanate, and on behalf of the lord of the Kipchak Khanate, I offer your cooperation. ”

Grand Master stared at this Oriental man, and great doubts were born in his heart. As Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, he was more knowledgeable than ordinary knights. It is known that the Mongol Empire has territories directly under the Golden Horde of the Mongol Great Khan, and now the Golden Horde of the Great Khan is in Baghdad, and the Golden Horde is the territory west of the two river basins and the Tianzhu River. In addition, Mongolia had many khanates, the most famous being the territories established by Genghis Khan's four sons. The closest to the Teutonic Knights was the newly established Yuan Territory. To the east of the Yuan territory was the territory of the Kipchak Khanate.

"What does your lord want?" Grand Master asked.

"Kievan Rus' and the west of Kievan Rus' are all owned by our Kipchak Khanate. East of Kievan Rus, it was owned by the Teutonic Knights. Said the emissary of the Kipchak Khanate.

Hearing this request, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights was half convinced. The Teutonic Knights can have the present because the former Kingdom of Poland was divided, giving the Teutonic Knights the opportunity to intervene. In this world, roommate is the norm.

After inquiring about the situation, the Grand Master had the heretics placed under house arrest in a better quarter. He returned to the headquarters of the Teutonic Knights and asked the knights who had received the envoys from all sides, "The bishop of the diocese of Warsaw and the Grand Duke of Warsaw have not yet arrived?" ”

The knight immediately told the Grand Master, "Yes. We have sent three waves of emissaries. Both waves of emissaries said that they had met with the Archbishop of the Diocese of Warsaw and the Grand Duke of Warsaw and informed them of the convening of the conference. ”

The Grand Master said hatefully, "It seems that these fellows are not going to meet the Pope!" ”

'Ahh The Grand Duke of Warsaw sneezed, he rubbed his nose and felt that he had a cold. But there was no longer much to do at the moment, and the Grand Duke asked eagerly: "Bishop, are you sure that the Pope will definitely favor the Teutonic Knights." ”

"Yes." The Archbishop of the Diocese of Warsaw answered categorically. Looking at the expression of the Grand Duke of Warsaw, the archbishop hated that iron could not be made of steel. The Teutonic Knights had already put their swords at the throat of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, and the result of this trip to Marienburg was bound to be openly annexed, but the Grand Duke still had the illusion that the Pope would do justice.

After receiving such a clear answer, the Grand Duke pondered for a long time and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

The archbishop did not hesitate to give advice, "Negotiate with the Yuan Kingdom." Let's see if they can guarantee all our status and interests. ”

This was not the first time that the Grand Duke had heard of a suggestion to defect to the Mongols, and every time someone said this, the Grand Duke would angrily reprimand such a fellow. Now hearing this advice from the archbishop makes the Grand Duke very painful. Defection to the pagan means that his soul will fall into hell when he dies. At least that's what the clergy say.

The archbishop, as an important person in the Church, is not an atheist, but he has no respect for the Church at all. Everything he saw in his life experience only proved that religion is a business and the church is a business business. If the so-called dogma had worked, the vast majority of clergy would have gone to hell after death, without the need for the Last Judgment. The few remaining clergy belong to the type who should have fallen into hell alive before they were alive. Even these clergymen can die with money, power and women, which means that hell does not exist at all. Even the God of the Bible does not exist.

In such a world, there is only profit in reality. The Archbishop of Warsaw was well aware that he would lose the status of Archbishop of the Diocese of Warsaw as soon as the Teutonic Knights annexed Warsaw. Without even waiting for the Teutonic Knights to annex Warsaw, the Pope would most likely appoint a new Archbishop of the Diocese of Warsaw.

Looking at the Grand Duke of Warsaw, who was tortured by the brainwashing of the clergy, the archbishop said to the Grand Duke in a solemn voice: "I have heard that there is already a new pope in the city of Rome. There are also many followers among the Mongols. For decades, the Holy See has been hoping that more of the Mongols will become Catholics, officially part of the Crucidian world. With the number of Mongols believing in Nestorianism, only the Mongol Great Khan did not openly believe in the Crusades. Mongolia is already in fact an integral part of the Crucidian world. ”

The Grand Duke looked at the archbishop suspiciously, he had never heard of such a secret before.

For this kind of guy who has been brainwashed by religion and turned into a fool, the archbishop once again changed his perspective, "Grand Duke, do you think it is God's will to let you lose your status as Grand Duke?" ”

As if he had been whipped, the Grand Duke shuddered, he instinctively shook his head heavily, and said in a bitter tone: "This is definitely not God's will. This should not be God's will. ”

So, God created human beings and then gave human beings the power to choose. As long as you have God in your heart, your other choices are free. Those who will go to hell after death are those who do not believe in God, curse God, and blaspheme God. As long as you trust God with all your heart, your choice is free. The archbishop explained the doctrine while observing the archduke's expression. Seeing the Grand Duke's expression of confusion at first, then surprise, and finally sudden realization. The archbishop continued, in a solemn tone: "God! Love the world! ”

The Grand Duke's face already had a look, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! ”

The archbishop regretted that he would not have interpreted the Bible in this way if he had not had to use the Grand Duke of Warsaw as his bargaining chip. God's love for the world would be interpreted to mean that 'because God loves the world, the world must repay God a hundredfold and a thousandfold.'" Free choice, on the other hand, is the choice between 'loving God and listening to the Holy See' and 'loving God and listening to the Holy See with all your heart'.

Such a method is one of the necessary skills of the high-ranking personnel of the Holy See, and it is also one of the fundamental reasons why the archbishop does not believe in the Holy See.

"What if the Mongols were like the Teutonic Knights?" Or the emancipated Grand Duke of religion was still worried about secular issues.

The archbishop said calmly: "God will bless us." ”

On May 2, 1293 AH, an emissary from the Grand Duchy of Warsaw arrived in Kiev. Hao Ren had thought that these people were here to beg for the captives, or simply to declare war. Didn't take the messenger to heart at all. Of course, it is impossible to return the population taken captive by the Yuan State to Poland, as for the state of war. That is, the Grand Duchy of Warsaw did not declare war on the Yuan State, and the Yuan State was also ready to declare war on the Grand Duchy of Warsaw and Poland as a whole. War will even be declared against Lithuania and the Teutonic Knights.

Since he had no expectations for the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, Hao Ren still arranged for those tribes who defected to the Yuan Kingdom. Previously, Hao Ren had an in-depth and detailed discussion with Yang Congrong, director of the Department of East European Affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, and invited some members of the Department of East European Affairs of the Great Song Dynasty to come to the Yuan Kingdom as officials. The reason is very funny, only the people of the Great Song Dynasty could treat the Mongols and Han people of the Yuan Kingdom equally.

Yang Congrong really recommended a few people to come over. For example, Zhou Shengwu, who was talking to Hao Ren about accepting a job, fully understood what Hao Ren meant, and paid special attention to whether the other party was poor or rich when screening.

Wu Huafu, director of the Yuan Immigration Bureau, who inherited the bloodline of the American immigration bureau system in the 21st century, disagreed with Zhou Shengwu's opinion, "Why let those poor people who only have a pair of torn pants enter the Yuan country in large numbers, but they are so wary of the big tribes with horses, cattle and sheep?" ”
