Regarding what happened later, Tang Sai'er didn't seem to want to go into details. But the Church of Rome, for its part, was very concerned about this and wanted to know what was going on.

"We're interested in everything there." "As you know, we are too far from the East, and a lot of the information is grossly distorted. Like you said, we didn't know much about it before. ”

"For example, did the rule of the Ming Dynasty seem as solid as it seemed?" "The information we get in this regard is often contradictory," he asked. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Tang Sai'er was a little surprised.

"It's an exaggeration." The Great Lama said, "Don't talk about them, the Romans, and we, the immigrants from the original generation of our ancestors, don't understand what the situation is in our hometown now. ”

"The Yuan people will communicate with us from time to time, but we can't believe what they say. They have also talked about these folk ills you mentioned, but the degree is much more exaggerated - if according to their meaning, the brutality of the Ming Dynasty is far greater than that of the previous dynasty, and the people all over the world are not happy, and the people all miss the Great Yuan, so there are people everywhere who want to deal with them. ”

"If what they say is true, then the Ming Dynasty should perish tomorrow. Since it has been so long, not only are they still there, but they can continue to attack and oppress them, it can only show that this is not the case. ”

"But on the other hand, the official version of the Ming Dynasty cannot be trusted." He shook off the dust, leaned back in his chair, shook his head again, and said:

"Although we in Rome are far away in Taixi, the organization of the state and the government has always been similar to China. In the Ministry of Rites, most of the old guys like me climbed up from the position of priests and petty officials. What is the situation at the grassroots level, can we still not know? Even if the Ming Dynasty was rich and powerful, it was still a court on earth, not a heavenly kingdom. The actual situation in their country cannot be as rosy as it appears on paper; Not to mention the diplomatic rhetoric that the civilian officials carefully considered in the mouth of the mission? ”

"Actually, it's definitely somewhere in between. But we don't know exactly where the two stand in between, after all, the gap between the two official statements is too outrageous. ”

"When Uncle Timur was still alive, he was at war with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate for many years. Both of them are legally the lineage of the Chagatai Khanate, and there are deep contradictions in the boundaries of public opinion, so they are on the same page. Eastern Chagatai has always been friendly with the Ming Dynasty, and in order to fight against Timur and the Warat tribes in the north, it is very dependent on the recognition and support of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty is the big backer behind him. Therefore, Timur sent people to the East many times to explore the movements of the Ming Dynasty. From his side, we can also learn some details of the news. ”

"But those messages are already very fragmentary and outdated for too long. Later, there was civil strife in Timur's lineage, and there was no time to advance eastward. Shahru was more concerned with managing his territory, and the war with Eastern Chagatai basically ceased to exist. We have lost even this information channel. ”

"So now, everyone can only rely on the words of the merchants about the situation in the Ming Dynasty, and the rest depends on guessing - we convened important ministers before and held a meeting to analyze the situation of the Yuan Zheng Dongxing Province, and there are many of the materials used that are all kinds of legends brought by a horse trainer from his hometown more than ten years ago." He was a little helpless: "So, any news is very precious." This is especially true for those who have experienced it. ”

"On your side, didn't you say that you took in a Ming Dynasty clan?" Tang Sai'er asked: "With such a high-level figure, can the news be lacking like this?" ”

"It's because of the high level that it's hard to say. Moreover, that person ......" Wang Da Lama hesitated, but still said frankly: "I heard that the Ming Dynasty is still using the policy of the past, guarding the frontier with vassal kings. But if the vassal kings are all of this level, why are the Northern Yuan Khan's court and the expedition to the eastern provinces still afraid of them? ”

"Therefore, the actual situation should be far more complicated than this, and the information he provided, even if he really said what he was talking about, was not necessarily the actual situation."

"That's ......" Tang Sai'er accepted his statement: "But I'll also tell you the truth, our fight is really ugly." Do you want to know how the battle went? I really don't think there's anything to say. ”

Grand Lama Wang and Father Peter looked at each other.

"It's not so much the battle itself that we're most concerned about." "You also know that we are too far away from the Ming Dynasty to have a military conflict with them in the foreseeable future," said Father Peter. However, there are many key questions that are of great concern to us and that we can find answers to from your experience. ”

"When I was studying at the Catholic University, I specialized in the history of Seris. From this kind of long and orderly record, many patterns can be found. For example, almost all dynasties will provoke a series of problems during the second generation of rulers. ”

"You mean, the Ming Dynasty is also the second generation......" Tang Sai'er immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes. From the perspective of historical laws, this phenomenon is closely related to the stability of the dynasty. If this phase can be successfully passed, then the dynasty will be stable for quite some time. Fr. Peter said, "Of course, if it doesn't work out, it's hard to say. Some dynasties will fall here, and some will face considerable problems even though they can survive for a long time, and they will not be able to end up properly. ”

"The Seris regime is very important to us. Historically, the Han Chinese regime and the Roman regime rose and fell at the same time, and it is clear that the fates of the two sides are related. He explained: "It is not a theological question, it is not a vague prophecy, but a very simple truth - the court of Seris can be stable, the country can prosper, and the trade from Chang'an to Rome can be stable." ”

"You may not feel it in the Central Plains, but Seris is the heart of the entire civilized world, and this trade route is the blood vessel that maintains civilization. From the river to Syria, it brings huge profits that can affect the fate of countries along the way. For us in the Mediterranean world, it is even more important – so important that all Mediterranean countries can adjust their national focus for it. ”

"If there is a change in the source of this trade route, the pattern of the world will inevitably change, and we must prepare for it in advance. In particular, we are now desperate for the revival of Rome, starting with Egypt and the eastern shores of the Mediterranean. This change has had the greatest impact on us. So even though it's a long way off, we have to keep an eye on what's going on over there. ”

"Do you think the Ming Dynasty is stable enough?" He asked: "From King Wu's departure to your actions, we feel that their side does not seem to be as peaceful as it seems. ”

"Will the Ming Dynasty be able to survive the current difficulties? Did the princes of the Yuan Empire really have any hope of counterattacking back, as they claimed, or at least taking advantage of the chaos to gain a greater advantage, or even control the trade routes stably? ”

"We don't force you to judge directly. You just have to tell us more details so that we can analyze more accurately, and that's it. He said sincerely.

"There's nothing to analyze." After Tang Sai'er understood, he didn't think much about it, so he replied: "The Ming Dynasty is very stable, and the people of the Yuan Dynasty are ...... There is still hope for them to be safe, and it is unlikely that they will succeed. The whole situation will not change much. ”

"Huh?" Father Peter was surprised: "Then why do you want to rebel?" Isn't it certain that you will fail? ”

"yes. Failure is certainly doomed. The national strength of the Ming Dynasty is actually still on the rise. Tang Sai'er whispered: "The times are at the head, and even the gods and Buddhas have to avoid the luck of a country. What's more, I'm not a real fairy girl, how can I have the ability to create miracles. ”

"But even then, it's worth it."

"You probably don't understand, but on our side, there are many goals for rebellion." Tang Sai'er told him: "Changing the dynasty and overthrowing the imperial court is only one of them. Most of the time, people don't have such big ambitions. ”

"As we were at the time, we were doomed. The official master has completely messed things up, and the two sides are in the same situation, and they can't stop it. Since it's all about death, you have to consider what kind of death is the most worthwhile. ”

"The great monk told me back then that the official master didn't know the word 'enough to stop'. When no one is in charge, they will continue to break the previous rules for their own self-interest, even if those laws are made by themselves. Even the emperor often had no way to deal with them, and could not restrain them at any time - when he was young, he often traveled around and listened to lectures in different temples. After seeing a lot, it is not difficult to understand this kind of seemingly abnormal thing. ”

"I understand what he means: among the common people, someone must stand up and tell the official: You have to stop. Moreover, many times, the official master will not listen. At this time, they can only use extraordinary means to wake them up. ”

"They don't necessarily care about morality, and they often don't care about the law, but they certainly care about property and life. Therefore, burning down the manor of the gentleman and killing the officials at all levels is the best declaration. You must know that although the official master is vicious, he is actually very timid. If everyone dares to do this, they will quickly give in, and there will be hope for many things to talk about again. ”

"As a leader, people like me will definitely not be let go. The villagers have a chance, and maybe they can survive. The government calls this the combination of suppression and appeasement, believing that it is the best form of repression, and that only the smartest officials can control it - but in fact, in the end, it is we who deliberately push them to choose this way. Because by doing so, our original wish will be fulfilled. ”

"I know very well that I am not a real fairy girl at all. So I often wonder, what can such a fake fairy girl do? She shook her head and said, "Come to think of it, fortunately, what I have to do is not so demanding." Fight for your life and give everyone a chance to live, even if you are worthy of the master who values me, and worthy of the sect members who treat me sincerely. ”

"At that time, I didn't even think about doctrines, scriptures, or anything. You churches and whatever, it's a true master, but I can't. She sighed and said, "What I thought at the time was actually as simple as that." ”

The platform has started to engage in popular supporting role activities again, and everyone will go to the old Khan King to make a list 23333
