Chapter 275: Religion and Life
When everything gradually got on the right track, Jiang Ning also began to gradually decentralize power and not interfere too much in the situation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He secluded behind the scenes, quietly watching the problems that were happening and were about to arise. Looking, the Tang people, who were jerky at the beginning, gradually became proficient.
Their progress, he saw one by one.
This made him very pleased, and at the same time, he was also very happy to see this scene.
Because of his strength, although the Tang people at this time were weak, there was still no country around them that dared to invade here. No one, not even the state or the Pope, dared to ask about it.
The strength of Jiangning has already laid the majesty of the hegemon.
Even Catholicism, so far, has remained outside the two islands. There is no reaction from the Romans, on the contrary, the Romans have not mentioned or questioned the question of religion at all, and it has not existed or ignored it at all.
However, even so, the question of religion must be resolved.
If the Tang people currently have a population of more than 2 million, there will naturally be no problem if he solves this problem or not.
However, the current Tang people, the population size is too weak.
Two major religions, the Tang people are mixed in the central position.
The Tang people can only choose one to take refuge, otherwise they will inevitably be targeted in the future.
However, Jiang Ning did not want the Tang people to be assimilated by them. Then, it is necessary to take countermeasures, create a religion, and then forcibly propagate the religion that you have created by yourself.
Win over some people and the country to form a pattern of common beliefs.
Fight against Catholicism and Islam!
If the momentum is successful, then in the future, these two major religions will not dare to target the new religion led by the Tang people. In this way, it has won valuable time for the survival and development of the Tang people.
When the population of the Tang people is getting bigger and bigger, and the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, at that time, it is natural that no one will have any thoughts that they should not have.
……
The new religion, which Jiang Ning calls 'truth', means as the name suggests, to explore the truth.
Elevate himself to the person of God.
Doctrinal is naturally the pursuit of truth. It is used for exploration, with the creation of new things and new knowledge, and at the same time for the acceptance of foreign advanced knowledge and ideas and the corresponding upgrading. All this, hidden in the doctrine, subtly changed the thinking of the Tang people. They are now different from their fellow citizens living in Middle-earth.
When the new religion was founded, Jiangning announced to the whole country that it was defined as the state religion.
The Tang people naturally responded in groups, and believed one after another, holding a scripture compiled and written by Jiangning and named the 'Book of Truth'. Every day, in the morning and evening, each of them recites the contents of one of the paragraphs.
It is believed that over time, Shinrikyo will become deeply rooted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, just like Catholicism and Islam.
The emergence of a new religion naturally aroused great dissatisfaction and vigilance among the Roman Catholic Church.
Still, there was no solution in Rome.
Facing a wizard who is enough to withstand an army of millions, plus a three-headed dragon more than a hundred meters long to help. All of Europe taken together can't beat anyone.
For this reason, the Romans were very angry and aggrieved.
At this moment, a handwritten letter from Jiang Ning was delivered to the Pope of Rome. The content of the letter naturally mentions the question of religious belief and the division of spheres of influence in the future.
Jiang Ning proposed that Tangzhou, Xinzhou, the Mediterranean Rim, France, the Iberian Peninsula, Naples, and North Africa be included in the sphere of influence. From now on, these areas will be the sites of his religious export. Roman Catholicism must not interfere or obstruct under any pretext.
As for the Roman sphere of influence, it will be bounded by France, with the Apennine Peninsula except Naples and Sicily. Including the Balkans, Western Europe, Central Europe, and Eastern Europe, which are included in the sphere of influence of the Roman Catholic Church, the same Tang people will not stand in the way.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiangning formally declared its sovereignty over Sicily and the Naples region. These two regions were declared the territory of the Tang people. Rome must be recognized, and at the same time all of Europe must be recognized, and in the future it must not be coveted under all kinds of pretexts, etc.
In the face of Jiang Ning, who was arrogant and threatened by force, the Roman side dared not speak out, so naturally it signed an agreement and agreed to Jiang Ning's comprehensive demands.
As for the claims of Sicily and Naples (the territory of the Kingdom of Naples), Europe naturally recognized them and signed the agreement.
The Eastern Roman Empire, also known as Byzantium, could only agree to this forcible demand from Jiang Ning. At the request of Jiang Ning, he took the lead in migrating the population of Sicily.
Subsequently, 50,000 people migrated to Jiangning and settled here.
After that, in order to create a good growth environment for the Tang people.
Jiangning forcibly exported religion in the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa. The people in these areas are ordered to change their faith unconditionally. In the middle, there were naturally conflicts and bloodshed, but they were completely suppressed by Jiangning.
When a three-headed dragon more than 100 meters long flew into the above-mentioned area, no matter how strong and unbreakable the faith was, it had to die in the face of this mythical creature.
After all, compared to the gods in their respective doctrines, whether they exist or not.
In the new religion in front of us, it is clear that there is this legendary creature and that powerful wizard with boundless power. Oh, and now he's elevated to godhood.
Since ancient times, the spread of religion has inevitably been accompanied by bloodshed.
Like Catholicism and Islam, which one is not stained with blood all over the hands?
Only the religion founded by Jiang Ning has so far been tainted with very little blood. With his strong strength, he was able to subdue the careful thinking of these rebel forces one by one.
After solving the worries, Jiang Ning finally put his mind at ease.
As time passed, a piece of good news made Jiang Ning uncontrollable with joy.
Elizabeth was pregnant, and after years of repeated hard work, she got pregnant as she wished.
Feel Elizabeth's slightly bulging lower abdomen, the weak but extremely powerful life reaction that is implicated in his blood. Jiang Ning's excited mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
Elizabeth, who got her wish, stroked her lower abdomen with a gentle face, and the glory of motherhood made her whole person look extremely beautiful.
Now Elizabeth smiles every day, and eats some nutritious meals and special potions prepared by Jiang Ning. Although it tasted bad, Elizabeth understood that these things were good for her and more important for the child in her womb.
She can now vaguely feel that she is hungry very quickly every day, and she can clearly feel the growth of the little life in her womb.
"Huh?"
Jiang Ning stared at Elizabeth's lower abdomen, his brows furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Elizabeth's heart tightened, and she looked at Jiang Ning nervously. Elizabeth admired Jiang Ning's strength and erudite knowledge, and was extremely proud in her heart. She obeys her husband's words and deeds. Therefore, the moment she saw Jiang Ning frowning, her heart was ...... Panicked.
Elizabeth's mood changes, naturally she couldn't hide it from Jiang Ning, and soon understood the reason, and he comforted her with a smile.
"Don't worry, Elizabeth. The child is very healthy, I just seem to sense that there are two life reactions in your belly! ”
"Two? Could it be ......" she looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Ning nodded affirmatively: "At the beginning, I felt this. It's just that it was very faint at the time, and I didn't see it clearly. Now, after a few months of growth, I can clearly and clearly feel the two life reactions. ”
"Oh my God, this news, it's really ......," Elizabeth was so happy that she didn't know what to say.
Elizabeth was happy, and Jiang Ning was naturally happy. However, there was still a trace of worry in his heart, so he took out another water of eternal life and fed her, and went to increase the amount of potion to replenish Elizabeth's gradually losing body, hoping to ...... All is well.
