"That's a bit of a hassle."

"You can try a good fleet."

"Do you mean the iron ships?"

"yes, and the artillery can be tried too."

Artillery? Ye Bainian's eyes lit up and nodded: "Have you started to use it in the fleet?" ”

"To be exact, it should be the fleet. Don't have a name? Patchouli asked.

"Fleet name?" Looking at the girl in front of him, Ye Bainian blurted out suddenly, "It's good to call the Qiyao Fleet." ”

"Huh?!"

"Can't you?"

"No, it's not impossible...... It's just a little embarrassing......" Patchouli twisted her fingers, looking more than a little.

"Then it's called the Seven Yao Fleet. By the way, the flag of the fleet will be made with a crescent moon. ”

"Whatever, whatever you want!"

Here, Ye Bainian is talking about the capture of the Byzantine Empire. Unlike the Western Roman Empire, Western Rome was preceded by Britain, although there was a sea current in the middle, but it was precisely because of this that Britain had an opportunity to take advantage of - in the process of Britain raising troops, I am afraid that the Western Roman Empire would not have expected the Britons under their rule to rise up and resist.

Thanks to this, Ye Bainian was able to conquer many regions in a row and gain a firm foothold in Western Rome in the early days, otherwise once the Western Roman Empire took precautions, Britain's attack at that time would be in an embarrassment due to the blocking of sea currents.

Of course, the Eastern Roman Empire and Western Rome were the same ancient Roman Empire earlier, and after the split, there will naturally be border exchanges, mainly on the Balkan Peninsula, and the specific division is still different, just as there are still zài disputes in modern territories.

This is not the main problem, in fact, Ye Bainian does not think that there is any problem in capturing the entire Balkan Peninsula, and the most important thing is what needs to be faced after this.

After the Balkans, the Sea of Marmara happened to be in the middle of the entire territory behind the Balkans and Byzantium (i.e., Asia Minor and Western Asia, mainly Asia Minor), and on both sides the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits formed a natural barrier - among them. The Bosphorus Strait is generally called the Istanbul Strait, and if there is a Turkish existence in the later part of this world, then it is the strait that separates Turkey from Europe (it should have been mentioned in geography class).

Without special abilities, it would be difficult for Britain today to stand up to the soldiers of the Byzantine Empire who were defending the periphery of the coastal strip.

This is also why Pachou would mention the use of artillery, after all, at that time, even with the help of magic skills, she was in a sea without a focus point. The morale and capabilities of the British soldiers inevitably decreased, and even the entire hull became a target.

"Since you want to send out the fleet, then go out from here and capture it directly - here, how?" The slender index finger draws a route along the Adriatic Gulf and ends up on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt.

"Oh, do you mean a counter-siege?"

"Hmm. The response efficiency of this era is too slow compared to later generations, and it is also true compared to the semaphore command we use today. Go to 6 in one go, and as for this side, ......"

"Did the Balkans also send troops and make a gesture of feint?" Ye Bainian immediately understood what Pachouli meant, "Let the entire Byzantium concentrate its forces on the coastal defense line of the Istanbul Strait and the Dardanelles." As for the Balkans, they will definitely give up! ”

Pache chimed in: "If the emperor wasn't so stupid, if the Byzantine army still had some brains. ”

"Not even at all. They will also withdraw from the Balkans. Ye Bainian smiled confidently, "In the big 6 war, my army is a peerless army, and Byzantium will only defend the two straits in the end, and even continue to increase troops in Asia Minor, and send soldiers from all over the country to support or garrison." In this way, even if the soldiers on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt do not decrease, they will relax their guard. ”

"It's a pity that this side of northeastern Africa has not been completely occupied. And the climate is really troublesome, otherwise we could have marched over there. ”

"It doesn't matter, the sea assault always has to be tested once." Ye Bainian said, "The Sahara Desert, the second desert over there after Antarctica, even if it is occupied, I don't plan to attack from there, otherwise the British soldiers will probably face the crisis of not adapting to the water and soil." ”

"Yes."

Now that the bill has been decided. The next step is to make a more nuanced determination. At this point, Ye Bainian summoned all the generals.

"Is there any one of you who is good at water warfare, or who understands water warfare? Take a step forward. ”

A cadre of ministers looked left and right, and only less than a tenth came out.

"It's a little less, though. But it's enough. "Next, we must also pay attention to cultivating maritime reserve forces. Ye Bainian was vigilant in his heart, this was a point to ignore, "If you have led the battle on the water, I will ask for more than a thousand people." ”

This time, only five subordinates came out. In ancient Europe, the battle of a thousand people was already very amazing, and the battle of 10,000 people was relatively rare, and the battle on the water was even less.

"Five people? I hope you're not lying. As soon as the majesty was opened, the five generals were resolute, and although they were shaken, they stood still.

"Nice looks." Nodding with satisfaction, Ye Bainian said, "Next, you will lead a special army to carry out a sea assault!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers below were discolored. Fighting at sea, doesn't that mean passing through the Mediterranean? These ministers were also born in the midst of war, even civilian officials, so everyone understood what he meant in an instant.

"Don't worry, I know what you're worried about, the main thing is the ship, isn't it? For this, I can guarantee that the five of you will be the first to use the steel ship blessed by my divine power. ”

"A ship of steel? Dare to ask Your Majesty, does a ship of steel refer to a ship forged from steel? "It was Rogge, the young general, who was also one of the five.

In the eyes of everyone who were either curious, surprised or puzzled, Ye Bainian said: "You are right, it is a steel ship, blessed by my divine power, unless the divine power is consumed with the limitation of time, but with my current divine power, it can last for a hundred years." ”

"One hundred years!"

"Is this true, Your Majesty?"

"It's natural, I won't lie." Ye Bainian's eyes narrowed. The latter knew that he was rude, and immediately knelt down in panic, "Okay, just pay attention next time, after all, it's better to ask this kind of question earlier." "That being said, it's basically not going to be asked like that anymore. Ye Bainian also knows this, he won't play any brain-dead methods of the monarch's family. Not to mention the limitations of the times, the most important thing is that the "gods" era really shouldn't talk about this, you must know that even in the high-tech era of later generations, there are still a large number of people who believe in ghosts and gods.

What's more, his current identity is not only an emperor, but also the reincarnation of a god. Pay attention to the sense of distance and mystery.

"The ordinary type of this ship will slowly become popular in the future, you must know that my journey is not only so simple, sooner or later, we will conquer the oceans of this world, to conquer the world on the other side of the ocean!"

"His Majesty is a great ambition, and His Majesty is willing to be a saddle before and after the horse. Exclude a qiē! Someone cleverly began to pat the horses, but such people were also shocked by Ye Bainian's "great ambition", not to mention others.

After some "noise", Ye Bainian waved his hand, and the scene was instantly silent: "Okay, there may be some of you who wonder if there is an end to the ocean, I can tell you very clearly, in my eyes." The qiē of this world has been engraved in the heart. However, this qiē still needs your exploration, and it is a test for you, and the achiever will live on for generations. ”

There was another burst of excitement, and the hearts of the ministers were definitely beating the most intensely today.

Talking and talking, suddenly someone knelt down in front of Ye Bainian: "Your Majesty, just leave these to your subordinates." The minister hopes that His Majesty will take a concubine after the election and give birth to a god son as soon as possible. ”

Well, these ministers have no choice, and Ye Bainian doesn't pay attention to it at all when he usually expresses it vaguely. And only at this time to come to this set.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while. Everyone actually thinks the same thing in their hearts, but they feel that this kind of thing is really delicate.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Ye Bainian's face stiffened, and in the end, it was still his forehead.

"I know, I'll do my best to solve this matter. That's all for today. ”

When he had finished speaking, he had departed.

The minister who stayed, you look at me, I look at you, and I am deflated and excited. The frustrated thing is that the majesty is angry, and the excited thing is that the majesty xià agrees! In any case, in the hearts of these traditional courtiers, the heir is the most important guarantee, don't you see that Alexander always went to war in person, and finally died of illness, which caused the entire empire to fall apart? Once the brain is dead, it's basically over, which is the most common in the animal kingdom - it seems that humans and animals are indistinguishable after all, even with more auxiliary proofs.

"Heirs? It's almost time. ”

Entering the interior of the study, Ye Bainian saw the girl in front of him who was carefully reading the scroll and smiled.

"Toria, how about you going to the sea as a child of the gods this time, is there any pressure?"

"Hey, Father, is this true?" Girl, Artoria stood up, looking very excited.

"Yes, but your appearance needs to be modified with magic, and you have to drink a deceptive potion so that no one will see the truth."

"That's no problem, as long as you can get out!"

Speaking of which, it's been seven years since I've been in this world, and it's time for King Arthur to appear, isn't it? However, this king may be in office for a long time - in ancient times, the population was absorbed, and many places dared to claim the title of king when they occupied a piece of land. As a son of God, it is normal to be appointed king of a land first.

"By the way, you call yourself Arthur, King Arthur, you know?"

"King Arthur? Is it a title? I see, Father. Artoria nodded, her hair moving.

Artoria was present when Pache was conquering the Franks, and attracted the attention of many people because her aura was too unique and powerful. After this, she was taken to the palace by Pache Li.

"Hmm."

"Father, what about Mother?" Artoria was not referring to Pacyuli, but to the titular "mother", to be more precise, "queen".

"Queen? Just pray. ”

"Pray? I know. ”

Prayer, naturally, refers to prayer. I don't know how many people in this world have been sent by "someone", Patchouli said she was curious.

In fact, in terms of candidates, Pachouli is the most suitable, whether it is temperament and knowledge, but her existence is not suitable for publicity, after all, she has the title of a mysterious Merlin ** master. If you pray, except that people are a little stupid (...... )。 In fact, it is enough, I believe that with her cold and dusty charm, it is enough to repel all the ministers.

"Queen? What's that, is it eaten? After learning of his mission, he expressed his doubts.

Well, there is one more question, is there a lack of common sense? Ye Bainian slapped his forehead.

"It's not food, it's it. It's acting, you know? is to play the emperor's wife, and the emperor is to play me. ”

"Acting? Oh, cosp1ay, I see! With a long mouth, Kasui seemed very interested.

But. cosp1ay? Did you make a mistake?

"Forget it, it's pretty much the same if you want to understand it that way."

"Well, I'll try."

A qualified cosp1ay must understand that it is necessary to fit the object at all times - huh, the object? What is a queen?

"Edward, what is the role of the Empress?" When in doubt, ask questions, and good children learn this.

"You go find the little devil. She'll give you books on the subject, and you'll understand it when you look at it. ”

"Oh, then I'll go find the little devil."

As soon as the interest came, he prayed and went to the secret room. Because Patchouli was not here, but at the shipyard, he did not go with him, and he did not witness the next scene.

"What, looking for the Queen's books? Let me see...... This is "Cleopatra VII", "The Legendary Pharaoh Hatshepsut", "The Mystery of the Tarot Card", ......"

By degrees. There are countless thick books on Qi Qi's hands, some of which are written about the cruel queen, some about the beautiful and pitiful queen, in short, everything. It's a pity that only the queen's information before 5oo AD can be collected here, such as the very famous Wu Zetian classmate in later generations - in this period of the Celestial Empire, but the darkest period, that is, the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. To her time. A few have a hundred years, but I don't know if this world Wu Zetian will appear!

"What font, I can't read it...... I can't read this book either...... "Throwing it around, Kasuki didn't read anything in the end." Just listen to the little devil tell what a queen looks like.

"Queen, that is, she is a virtuous daughter with grace, she must be beautiful and gentle, but she must put on a majestic appearance to others, which is probably the spirit of the king...... I don't really understand the specifics...... "The little devil became distressed, and his mind was still thinking about the various miscellaneous things assigned by Master Pache Li.

"Oh."

It seems that he doesn't understand it, and he doesn't know what he has learned.

However, on the formal occasion later, the prayer was really general and full of style, but when the two got along, the whole person was soft like a marshmallow.

"It seems that the queen's problem can be solved, and it will take a while to buffer before the specific start of the war, at least there will be a basic exercise. At this time, it is a good time for those people to witness the birth of Artoria, and thus for the first time the name of King Arthur appeared in this era......"

As a result, the people were surprised to find that their Emperor Yuser was soon pregnant after marrying a stunning celestial who was said to be the wife of the goddess before his reincarnation.

Under the preparation, Ye Bai Nianbu announced, saying: "Her divine son is coming, she will have a power that ordinary people cannot match, she will be blessed by the elves, and she will bring more glory to Britain!" ”

In this announcement, Ye Bainian's figure appeared directly in various large cities, and his titular queen Qiqi-Edlan Si also appeared. Because of this unexpectedly miraculous gesture, the poor people went crazy again.

You say that you doubt Ye Bainian? How can it be! Even if those guys from other religions want to fool, they have to convince themselves that they can't be deceived by the falsehood in front of them, and pray to the gods again and again, and only then dare to come out and continue to fool others by simply believing in their own beliefs.

Most importantly, Ye Bainian established a religion based on the state, God/Religion. He thought about many names, and finally decided on this name with no connotation, simple and convenient, isn't it?

"I don't rule out you from believing in other gods, because a god must have a heart to be called a god. A religion that is confined to faith can only be a religion, and My God/Religion does not require this, but wants to spread the radiance of God to all places where it can. My believers must be clear: unity, mutual assistance, and fraternity, the three moral goals. I don't pray to believers, 'I will add a drop of water to you today, and he will be a spring of water to repay you one day,' but I hope you will understand the best things between people.

The world belongs to you, and the role of the gods is to accumulate and build a harmonious and beautiful home for you, not to compete for faith like a competition for money. God, be open-minded, for God is omnipotent, and He will know your being. I welcome everyone to join God/Religion, whether they believe in me or not, just to make the world a better place and more harmonious. But I don't want to be compulsory, because God Almighty never fights for what doesn't belong to him, because I'm going to have better of you, aren't I? The only ones who will fight for it are those who use religion as a weapon......"

This remark directly put those religions that belittled the gods of other religions into an extremely embarrassing passivity. Because Ye Bainian's words are very reasonable, God should be a broad-minded person, how can he care about faith? There are only people who will compete for believers. This rhetoric quickly spread throughout Europe and soon spread to the Byzantine side.
