Xu Da governed the army strictly, although the generals were noisy, but no one gathered around, led by Lan Yu, he arrived at the handsome tent in a short time, and someone had already heard Lin Qi's arrival, Xu Da stood in front of the handsome tent early to greet him, Lin Qi and Xu Da are not too familiar, but they also came together in the Poyang Lake battle, and they still feel different from others when they see it.

Xu Da was not so polite to him, and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Lin, let me wait for my brother!" ”

Xu Da said Brother Lin exited, Lin Qi was also relieved, if Xu Da politely called him an immortal master or something, but he would die awkwardly, seeing that Xu Da was still the same as a few years ago, he was also relieved a lot, hugged his fists and said: "Brother Xu, now that he is a general, he can't be greeted by you in person." ”

Xu Da scolded with a smile: "The fart general, not a soldier yet?" If you kid call me a general, our brothers won't have to talk about it in the future! The two looked at each other and smiled, Xu Da stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qi's hand and said, "Come on, Brother Lin, I have an acquaintance of you in my handsome tent, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Lin Qi was stunned: "Acquaintance? Who is it? ”

Xu Da pushed him and said, "Won't you know if you go in and see?" It's not your lady anyway. Xu Da pushed Lin Qi into the tent, turned around and told Lan Yu to wait outside, Zhou Dian, Tiger Head, Hu Zhongxian knew that Xu Da must have something important to tell Lin Qi, and they all waited outside.

Lin Qi entered Xu Dashuai's tent, but saw a thin monk suddenly saluted him deeply and said, "Apprentice to meet the master." ”

Lin Qi took a closer look at this monk, but when he saw that he was like a sick tiger, with triangular eyes, black and thin, he didn't think about it for a while, and couldn't help but say, "You are?" ”

The monk said respectfully: "**Yao Guangxiao." ”

Lin Qi then remembered that he had indeed received such an apprentice on Longhu Mountain back then, and he was placed next to Jia Canzhen, but he had been running around for many years, and Yao Guangxiao had no more information, so he forgot about it, and when he thought about it at this time, he was quite guilty and said: "Over the years, you have not heard from you in the northeast and west, and you have forgotten you." ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "The apprentice followed Jia Canzhen's side, and did not dare to communicate with the master, in the past few years, he has been in the capital, but he has also heard a lot of great things that the master has done, and the apprentice congratulates the master!" ”

Lin Qi shook his head with a smile and said, "I am running around and working hard, I forgot you, don't worry about it, now that you have come out of Jia Canzhen's side, I am afraid that you will never be able to go back, just follow me." ”

Yao Guangxiao replied yes and said in a deep voice: "The apprentice escaped this time because he had a major incident to report to the master. ”

Lin Qi sighed, turned his head to look at Xu Da, and saw that he had no intention of evading, presumably Yao Guangxiao had informed him first, Yao Guangxiao said softly: "Master, Jia Canzhen is making a comeback, the master cleaned up Jia Canzhen and returned to Dadu back then, Emperor Shun has gradually become cold to him, and Jia Canzhen is also a little disheartened, living in the temple and concentrating on cultivation. ”

Yao Guangxiao told the story, Lin Qi also listened to a rough idea, when Jia Can was really deflated on Longhu Mountain, Emperor Shun didn't trust him very much, Jia Can was really helpless, and disappeared for a while, in recent years, the world has been smoking, seeing that the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty is less than one day, but most of the capital is still singing and dancing, and the party is constantly fighting, and even the son of him who was named the prince has to replace him.

In just a few years, Zhu Yuanzhang has risen, his power is getting bigger and bigger, and if he doesn't do something, he will destroy the country, so he is in a hurry, but if more than half of them are no longer under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty today, the army is already stretched thin, and Emperor Shun asked the minister for an idea.

I wasn't in a hurry before, but I saw that the situation was out of control, and the ministers didn't have a good way, not to mention that the ones left were all messed up, and there were a lot of messy ideas, but none of them worked.

The predecessor of the Yuan Dynasty was the Mongol Khanate, and Genghis Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, commanded the north and south of the desert and the wooded areas when he became a prince. Through the management of Genghis Khan and other Mongol khans, and after three expeditions to the west, the Mongol Khanate reached Benhai and Goryeo in the east, Lake Baikal in the north, Annam in the south, Eastern Europe, the Black Sea and Iraq in the west.

During the reign of Genghis Khan, the territory was divided between the eastern and western kings, and the eastern kings were the younger brothers of Genghis Khan, and most of them were divided into the eastern and northeastern regions of Saibei. The kings of the Western Province were the sons of Genghis Khan, among whom the eldest son Jochi was divided into the Kipchak steppe north of the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea, and later established the Kipchak Khanate by Batu; The second son of Feng Chagatai was in the old land of Western Liao north of the Syr Darya River, and was known as the Chagatai Khanate in history; The three sons, Wokotai, were divided into the old land of Naiman, and later established the Ogedai Khanate by Haidu; The Mongol headquarters was obtained by the youngest son, Tulei, and later under the direct jurisdiction of the Mongol Great Khan. As for the Transoxiana region between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya Darya, Iran and Tibet, it was directly governed by the Mongol Great Khan.

The vassal states of the Yuan Dynasty included Goryeo, Burma, Annam, Champong, the Kipchak Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Ilkhanate. There are the Mobei tribes in the north, the Nanyang states in the south, and the four khanates in the west. Among them, there were two directly subordinate vassal states, namely the Goryeo Dynasty and the Bagan Dynasty of Burma, which established the Eastern Province and the Central Province of Burma respectively. In the northwest, Haidu of the Ögedai Khanate intended to regain the Khanate's throne and united the Kipchak Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate against the Yuan, which was known as the Haidu Rebellion.

It was not until the reign of Yuan Chengzong that the Yuan court made peace with these three khanates, and together with the Ilkhanate, recognized the suzerainty of the Yuan Dynasty and became vassal states of the Yuan Dynasty, and the administrative institutions established by the Yuan Dynasty did not include these territories. Moreover, Yuan Chengzong also gave the monarch of the Ilkhanate to engrave the Chinese seal such as "True Emperor and Shun Wanyi's Treasure", which essentially recognized his reading power surname. By the time of Yuan Wuzong, the Yuan Dynasty and the Chagatai Khanate successively conquered the Ögedai Khanate, and when compiling the "Jingshi Dadian" during the reign of Yuan Wenzong, the Kipchak Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate and the Ilkhan were regarded as vassal states of the Yuan Dynasty.

Since Dayuan is rich in the world and is the country of the suzerain, at this time of embarrassment, how can these vassal states also lend a hand, Emperor Shun listened to the spirit, and asked the minister present who was willing to send an envoy to the vassal country, after all, it was a borrowed army, and the official who went was too small to look good.

These feudal states nominally serve the Yuan Dynasty as Zhengshuo, but they have not interacted with each other for decades, and the blood and family ties have long since faded away. What's more, the other khanates have not had a good time in recent years, and there are rebels, and those who do not want to be ruled by the Mongols are not the only ones in the Central Plains.

What's more, it is the same between countries and the people, your family is doing well, I am close to it, I am cheap, and if it is not good, I will borrow rice, can you pay it back? What's in it for me? After all, the family is separated, and each has its own way, so why should I listen to you?

It's in vain to go, why bother to climb the ice and snow and climb the mountains and mountains to see the cold eyes of others, so no minister is willing to send an envoy to the vassal country, but Emperor Shun really can't think about it now, and the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, so he remembered Jia Can's true come.

Jia Can has really been neglected for a few years, and he is also sad, but after all, Emperor Shun still admits that he is the national teacher of the Great Yuan Dynasty, plus people are not old, and they get up at the first move, and when they hear about borrowing soldiers, they also have speculation, knowing that things will not go well, but after all, he is a national teacher, and Emperor Shun has spoken, can he still not go?

When he was sad, he found an old friend to tell him about his suffering, his old friend was an Italian, called Aban Saoma, a missionary of ** Christianity, who was also fascinated by Mark Twain's biography and knew that there was such a big country in the East, and there were many people who believed in Nestorian Christianity.

The so-called Nestorianism is the ** Nestorian sect introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty, that is, the Oriental Assyrian Church, which originated in Syria and was the first ** sect to enter the Central Plains.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of Semu people came to China, which led to the resurgence of Nestorian believers in China. Roman Catholic Pope Nicolas III ordered Francis to send five missionaries to China, and sent a letter to Kublai Khan, asking him to treat his priests well, take care of their needs, and send them to escort them when they returned to Rome. More than ten years later, Niko IV sent the Franciscan priest Mongao Vino to lead several missionaries to the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the Nestorian bishop in Thebali was at one time in conflict with the clergy of the emerging Catholic Church.

Nestorian Christianity was regarded as a heresy in Rome, and seeing that Nestorian Christianity flourished in the Great Yuan, Aban Saoma was very angry and felt that it was his responsibility to spread Orthodoxy. Even ** has been modified, and Nestorianism has evolved in China, with a large number of references to Buddhism. The authors of the four Gospels were all called "Dharma kings": Matthew was King Mingtai, Luke was King Luga, Mark was King Mocha, and John was called King Yuhan; The church is called a "temple"; The archbishop is called "** king"; Priests are naturally called "monks". The title of God is transliterated from the Syriac alaha, which is called "Imperial Father Aroha", and according to Taoist rules, it is also called "Tianzun".

Aban Sauma was very surprised, although Nestorianism is not recognized in the West, but the teachings are not too different, why did it become like this? So he began to devote himself to the study of Chinese language, Central Plains culture, and even more specialized in the classics of Buddhism and Taoism, and this research he immediately discovered the problem, and discovered why the gospel of God was so difficult to spread in the Central Plains.

That's because Buddhism and Taoism are polytheistic religions, and good gods and evil gods are not distinct in Buddhism and Taoism, unlike the ** religion in the West, God is God, Satan is Satan, and the one who manages hell in Buddhism and Taoism is called Hades, the same as Satan, but Hades is a righteous God, not **, not only that, Buddhism and Taoism, but also tell you that according to what they teach you, you can eventually become an angel and become God. Live with heaven and earth, and shine with the moon.

The teachings of Buddhism and Taoism were completely beyond the imagination of Aban Saoma, and he was shocked by this. Unexpectedly, he was obsessed, swept away his previous prejudices, stayed in Dadu for 20 years, and became the general manager of Daxingguo Temple, a Nestorian temple.
