Contrary to the clever Sima Guang, the stupid Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty actually regarded those "zelu" (swamp saline) places in the northwest as no less than sweat and blood, and repeatedly used hundreds of thousands of troops and horses to attack them. The army fought recklessly, and he was not finished, it was Jianshuo Fang, it was Gaijiuquan, and it was Lidhuang...... After the fortress was built,

He repaired the post road post station, after the post road post station was repaired, he dug a canal to set up a field official, moved the Yellow River flood disaster people to the northwest, lent them seeds to cultivate cattle, and actually planted land in Jiuquan and Dunhuang in the northwest places!

As for horse breeding, not to mention, the Hexi ranch lasted for two thousand years and is still an excellent horse farm for the PLA.

Like him, who spared no effort to seize strategic places and horse farms, it is no wonder that the Han Dynasty was in turmoil in his later years...... Fluttering ...... drifted all the way to the time of his great-grandson Emperor Xuan...... Then the stormy Han Dynasty sent 150,000 cavalry (1.5 times the decisive battle of Mobei) plus 50,000 cavalry of its ally Wusun, a total of 200,000 cavalry

On the northern grassland of the desert, the Xiongnu, who were invincible in the past, did not even have the courage to face it this time, and they helped the old and the young to flee from the wind.

The stupid Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had the ideals of the world, was ridiculed for thousands of years in later generations.

And the act of sending the land out of the land as cleverly as Sima Guang is still talked about by countless people today and praised as a representative of wisdom.

It is really self-evident which one is easy for the average person to learn.

Petru. If Baptista had studied the former, he would not have been able to climb to his current position. However, the result of this lack of ideals was that he hesitated in the face of Tournest's unusual heretical vision.

A young clergyman full of ideals might have just accused the crowd of being outright heretical and resolutely stopped it—just as the Savior smashed the stalls of many merchants in the temple the first time he entered the temple, and thought that there should be things in the temple and did it immediately!

Petru. Baptista didn't do it right away.

He was already intimidated by his opponent's size.

Sixty or seventy thousand people can be mobilized to "welcome the envoy"!

Sixty or seventy thousand!

What is this concept?

The Neustrian king was usually able to mobilize an army of 10,000.

Although the kingdom of Neustria is not the largest among the kingdoms, it is definitely not small. In Baptista's understanding, an army of 10,000 people, no matter what country it is, is a force that must not be underestimated—to be precise, it is a force that can tear the earth and become king.

Even if they are infidels.

Is there less of a pagan division of one side by force under the noses of the church?

Of course, this is not to say that anybody gathers a handful of 10,000 people - well, if some god can really gather 10,000 handfuls of mud legs just by flickering, the church, at least Petrus. Baptista will never take force as the first step!

Because...... In all probability...... Can't beat ......

It was necessary to negotiate and secure the other side, give false acknowledgments if necessary, and then gather the nearby princes and nobles to defend the Church by force, suppressing heresies, promising them the wealth of the infidels after suppressing them, as the Church and the nobility have always cooperated.

However, if the nearby nobles were summoned to suppress the bishop in the name of fighting heresy......

Petru. Baptista wasn't sure who would be suppressed at that time.

The aristocracy still regarded themselves as pious and defenders of the Church, but when it came to interests...... Those who looted and burned monasteries and churches were not civilians!

The nobles themselves had to rent their land and serfs to the bishops, expecting a fixed and rich return each year, like milking cows.

Convincing them to slaughter a cow with milk, and that cow with the horns of a bull – is a daunting task.

Besides, these nobles and commoners seem to be convinced that the bishop does have magical powers!

If it weren't for the fact that they believed that the bishop had magical powers, they probably wouldn't wait for the envoy to come, and they wouldn't wait for the bishop to be declared a heretic, so they would have stepped on their horses and robbed ......

And these superstitious aristocrats, it is still hard to burn an ugly old woman who has no ability to resist, and if they meet a "real" warlock, they will often change their faces.

The envoy said that many castles had rooms reserved for magicians in one of the best locations.

The lawless aristocrats feared hell and craved alchemy and elixirs.

They promised the bishop a great reward, expecting a greater reward. And the envoy, can he give a more generous return? It seems that it can't.

It's okay to deceive them, but I'm afraid that the church will not be able to do so locally in the future.

On Petrus. According to Baptista, with the power of the bishop's command—through a day's work as a temporary worker in the Letters and Visits Office, the envoy's influence on the bishop himself is already very clear—not to mention that he is openly engaged in pagan worship, not to mention just doing some hand-washing rituals before and after meals, and applying some strange patterns,

Learn from the northerners to make human blood sacrifices...... It seems that all the church can do is pinch its nose and pretend not to see this way.

Luo Yi's failed action of pretending to be poor is like forcibly dressing up a tiger as a rabbit, but a rabbit as big as a tiger, where does a jackal have the courage to provoke!

Luo Yi thought that there was a boss in her territory, but where did she think that now she is the boss herself!

After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, the envoy decided to take 36 plans and retreat first!

The bishop gathered so many people, and he was in full swing, and he was single-handed...... Kindness?

Where did John go?

"John! John! ”

Then he thought, what about the donkey driver? It's time for him to wake up!

Won't it ...... Be taken away by the bishop's men!

This thought came together, Petrus. Baptista's heart strained.

"John! John! Brother John! After another futile cry, the envoy sat in the darkness in fear, unacquainted with life, what a risk he had this time!

Suddenly, a voice broke the chaotic darkness in the room.

"Hiccup! Mr! ”

"Hey! It's you, you drunkard, who is willing to pull your head out of the wine bag! "Petru. Baptista breathed a sigh of relief at the familiar hiccup, and then scolded, "Where are you fooling around!" Yes, look at your drunken body, do you see Brother John? ”

"Hiccup! Sir, he was taken away by the bishop's men! ”

"What!"

"Because he, Hiccup, fooling around, Hiccup."

"What? Tell me clearly, what's wrong with him? "Oh, gods, how can you throw **, the only partner is a big drunkard, and I have to rely on him to inquire about his companion!
