Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 764 12 years

"Pindao has seen His Majesty!"

Fan Hua was over fifty years old, wearing a simple cyan Taoist robe, with slender eyebrows, black and clear, and had a taste of immortality.

"The priest is free!"

The deity of the 21st century is a staunch atheist.

Now Luo Youdu has a wavering mind, after all, no matter how ridiculous the theory of ghosts and gods is, it is not as ridiculous as his time travel.

Therefore, he has a certain awe for things about gods and Buddhas.

However, as the emperor of China, he is more close to the Chinese gods, and he is very friendly to the national religion Taoism.

If faith is regarded as a big pie, Taoism has the largest share and has a standard bottom line. No matter how Buddhism and Manichaeism develop, they cannot encroach on the interests of Taoism.

As for Buddhism, Manichaeism, and even the Great Food Law and Catholicism that may be merged in the future, each competes for the remaining interests based on its own ability.

Facing the preferential treatment from the imperial court, the whole Taoist school spared no effort to promote Luo Tianzi's heroism and benevolence, such words as Ziweixing's coming to save the world.

Not to mention that there are so many people who believe...

It's just that the real Daoists are too noble and like the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, just like Chen Tuan, the most famous old fairy Fuyaozi of this era, who is a master who can't see the end of the dragon.

Luo Youdu felt that meeting him was more difficult than seeing him as the emperor.

But the good thing is that Taoist masters include Taoist priests like Ma Yu who are pure and ascetic, and Taoist priests like Qiu Chuji who "love to cause trouble" and hate evil like hatred.

This is the case for Fan Hua as Chen Tuan's beloved disciple. He was born in a wealthy family.In the peaceful and prosperous age, Fan Hua would be a great benevolent person in the village, but living in the era of cannibalism, his benevolent deeds and wealth are a deadly poison.

Soldiers ruthlessly plundered their county town and ransacked his house. His parents, wife and children died tragically. He escaped because he went out to drink with his friends. After eliminating evil, he met Chen Tuan as a good teacher and became one of his most proud disciples.

Fan Hua's double cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism is full of Confucian blood of self-cultivation, self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace. He is not a master who can practice Taoism in peace.In addition to learning Taoism, he and Chen Tuan also learned medical skills, which made it easier to travel in the rivers and lakes.

Chen Tuan also knew the ideals and ambitions of his lover, so he stayed in Bianjing.

"I just got the news that the caliph in black and rich food has agreed to build a Taoist temple in Baghdad. I need someone to go to a foreign land to be the temple master and be responsible for the affairs of the Taoist sect in the West. After thinking about it, only the Taoist leader is the most suitable. I just don't know How about long-term thinking?"

Fan Hua made a bow and said: "Your Majesty, it is imperative for the court to serve the court. However, the court has been fighting for years, and the Western Regions are the only way to win. Is it too impatient to seek black clothes?"

This Taoist priest with a fairy style speaks very honestly, he doesn't mention anything about promoting Taoism at all, and he just talks about seeking black clothes.

Luo Youdu didn't hide it and said: "The Taoist master understands me, but he doesn't know me. I have the ambition of Emperor Qin and Hanwu, but I also have the heart of loving the people of Wenjing and Sejong. If it weren't for the great changes in the west, within ten years, I would not Planning to launch an attack on the west, the Taoist priest is only going to be a pioneer for the imperial court."

Looking at Fan Hua's questioning eyes, Luo Youdu chuckled lightly and said, "In the past, there were disputes among the seven kingdoms and turmoil among the kingdoms, which lasted year after year. The same balance and the same shape of the currency make me have a unified idea of ​​China. Going west, there are not only Dashi, but also Rome, Frank, and even the British Isles controlled by the Anglo-Saxons. The distance is far beyond imagination .”

Fan Hua didn't doubt it, but yearned for it.

This is also the growth of vision brought about by the development of Dayu culture.

After years of development, the imperial palace newspaper has also been further improved and divided into several categories, among which there are sections that record the history of the world.

The continents of Asia, Europe and Africa in this era have basically been explored in sevens and eighties...

Dayu's land and water caravans have been in contact with Western caravans for a long time, and they have a certain understanding of the situation in various countries. They also know the situation in the West from their mouths, and understand the size of the world.

"What does the poor man need to do?"

Luo Youdu said leisurely: "You don't need to do anything, and you can't do anything. The Taoist priest only needs to establish a good relationship with my future caliph of the Han Dynasty and those nobles..."

Although the food in black had compromised due to the pressure from the Catholic Church, it was impossible to cause any disturbance under the eyes of others.

Fan Hua only needs to let the aristocrats in black clothes understand Taoist culture, and when the time comes, let the aristocracy seamlessly accept oriental culture.

The black-clothed eclipse is at dusk, and most of the nobles in Baghdad are drunk and dreaming, and the caliph is equivalent to a puppet.These people have a lofty status, but they don't have decent power in their hands. This kind of people are often the most pragmatic. As long as they maintain their virtual status, what difference does it make if the Great Food Law is Western or Chinese?
Fan Hua also understood what Luo Youdu meant, and the Confucian blood in his body gradually boiled, and he bowed and said, "The poor are willing to go!"

After deciding on this matter, Luo Youdu stretched his waist greatly, feeling particularly comfortable. At this point, it's time to take a break and let the people really rest.

After finishing the last memorial in his hand, Luo Youdu went to the harem. He wanted to visit his children, but he learned that Luo Kangrui took his younger siblings to Xiyuan for a horse race.

Luo Youdu smiled slightly, and turned to Fu Qing'er's palace.

Fu Qing'er also knew Luo Kangrui's whereabouts, and couldn't help complaining: "This Ziwei Palace is too big, if you don't pay attention, the little guys will disappear."

Luo Kangrui looked at his beloved wife who was becoming more and more graceful, smiled and stepped forward to hug her, saying: "They are all children, it is their active nature, it is normal to play together, there are ugly ones watching."

Regarding the education of his sons and daughters, Luo Youdu is not like in history. Every prince has specially arranged tutors for them to conduct one-on-one education. Gui read and study together.

The brothers and sisters usually live together. As the eldest son, Luo Kangrui takes care of the younger siblings.

Brother and sister made mistakes, Luo Youdu first punished Luo Kangrui, the eldest brother, and then punished the perpetrators.

Therefore, Luo Ningsong and Luo Ningbai, who are the most naughty, are most afraid of not Luo Youdu's father, but the elder brother Luo Kangrui...

Luo Youdu's state affairs are heavy, and he can't take care of many things, and he is his own precious son, as long as it is not a big mistake, he is not willing to do something heavy.

Luo Kangrui didn't have any scruples, it's only natural for an elder brother to beat his younger brother.

The time they spend together as brothers is longer than with Luo Youdu's father, so the relationship is naturally close...

Compared with brothers fighting each other, or raising the Gu family to grow up, Luo Youdu is still very satisfied with the current situation.

"You just get used to them!"

Fu Qing'er said angrily.

Luo Youdu smiled and didn't speak, but kissed Fu Qing'er's earlobe, which was obvious.

In broad daylight, Fu Qing'er's face was flushed, and she said angrily: "There are still things, you don't care, sister Zhou is going to die because of my little sister."

Luo Youdu said: "It will be fine after a while..." He squinted his eyes and pushed Fu Qing'er into the room.

As the war in the west came to an end, Dayu's territory officially surpassed the peak of the Han and Tang Dynasties, starting from the Wa Kingdom in the east, Haidong Peninsula in the east, Samarkand in the west, Mobei Grassland and Lake Baikal in the north, and Jiaozhi Forest in the south.Both the East China Sea and the South China Sea are under the control of the Dayu Battleship.The same is true of the North Sea, but it is too cold and unsuitable for human habitation, and the hidden reefs and glaciers are full of dangers.However, among the people in the Northeast, quite a few of the brave ones wore padded jackets, drove fishing boats to patronize, and returned with a full load, laying a certain foundation.

Luo Youdu's plan of ten-year truce did not come true. Four years after signing the contract with Heiyi Dashi, a war broke out in the Hehuang area.

In the 14th year of Yongjing's reign, Tubo invaded Hehuang and was defeated by Brother Yeluxiu, which aroused great enthusiasm.

After being at ease for a long time, suddenly there are thieves making trouble and invading the mainland, naturally the civil and military in the temple cannot tolerate it.

In fact, there is a reason for this matter. The momentum of Dayu surpassed that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but Tubo lingered on. Logically speaking, even if they were given ten guts, they would not dare to act presumptuously.

The crux of the problem lies in Brother Yeluxiu.

With his achievements in the Western Regions, Brother Yeluxiu was promoted to the governor of Hehuang, becoming the fourth governor of the Dayu court after Pan Mei, Li Chuyun, and Cao Bin.When this appointment was made, it caused a lot of turmoil. Pan Mei, Li Chuyun, and Cao Bin were all the most important people in Luo Youdu's direct line, so it was understandable to serve as the governor.Brother Yeluxiu is just a surrendered general...

Luo Youdu's move is also to tell the world that as long as there is ability, everyone has the possibility of promotion.

At that time, someone wrote a letter to remind the local Anlu Mountain accident...

Luo Youdu said bluntly: "You can't chill the hearts of loyal ministers in the world because of An Lushan's case."

He said so, but in fact he had learned the lesson of An Lushan long ago.Whether it was Pan Mei, Li Chuyun, or Cao Bin, he did not give them crucial financial and food rights, and it was even more impossible for them to command one-third or even half of the country's military power.Not to mention Brother Yeluxiu...

After receiving such great kindness, brother Yeluxiu became even more diligent.

This governor, who is more like a Confucian general than the Central Plains people, established the Gengxiu Law when governing Hehuang, advised farming and mulberry, and repaired military equipment. With the pacification of the Western Regions, Dayu signed a trade relationship with Heiyi Dashi. With the thorough development of the roads, the land of Hehuang became more and more prosperous, and with a general like Yeluxiu in charge of both civil and military skills, the border was greatly ruled.

On the contrary, the neighboring Tubo was in turmoil and wars continued.On the one hand, there is peace and prosperity, and on the other hand, there are swords, guns and wars. The suffering Tubo refugees began to migrate and flee to the land of Hehuang.

Brother Yeluxiu arranged them properly, whether farming or animal husbandry, and let them settle down in Hehuang.

Yeluxiu's reputation for benevolence and righteousness has won the hearts of the people, and there are many imitators.

Finally angered the Tubo nobleman Ni Daoning, he wanted to teach the refugees who fled into Hehuang a lesson.

Ni Daoning didn't intend to alarm the Dayu Frontier Army.However, according to the Gengxiu method created by Brother Yeluxiu, the soldiers patrol the border areas at twelve hours to find the enemy's tracks first, and then attack decisively.

In the 14th year of Yongjing, in June, Yeluxiu and Zhe Yuxun attacked Tubo in two ways.

In July, Brother Yeluxiu took the land of the meander, and in August, Zhe Yuxun captured Qinghai Lake...

The two garrisoned their own troops, and there was no new movement.

In November, Cao Bin sent troops from Dali, went straight to the capital of Tubo, and rounded up Tubo.

In December, the remaining five princes of Tubo handed in surrender forms one by one.

Since its split, Tubo has been in turmoil for 200 years, and it has officially been unified.

In the 16th year of Yongjing's reign, domestic culture was booming. Luo Youdu proposed to follow the example of "Spring and Autumn" and compile a general annals, starting from Xia Zhou and ending at the end of Zhou Zhou after the Five Dynasties, covering sixteen dynasties, in order to warn future generations.

At the same time, it also put forward the request to attach importance to the chronology, and put the era on the agenda.

This is also Luo Youdu's main purpose, he doesn't want to do it all over again, the future world will still be calculated according to the birthday of Jesus.

There is also some disagreement on this matter. Dou Yi advocates continuing to use the Yellow Emperor's calendar, while Lu Duoxun believes that the first emperor is the king of the great unification. It should start when the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world.As for Zhao Pu, it is simple and straightforward, based on Dayu's founding of the country.

In the end, Luo Youdu still chose the emperor's calendar. After all, the descendants of Yanhuang are more suitable, although he is also a little bit moved by Ludoxon's suggestion.

As for Zhao Pu...

Well, loyal, got it.

In the 15th year of Yongjing, the imperial court established a rotation system for border commanders, with a five-year cycle, to avoid the unfavorable factors derived from the border commanders supporting the army for too long.

In the 19th year of Yongjing, something worthy of being recorded in history happened in this year.

After more than [-] years of development, Dayu's shipbuilding technology has made great progress.

Lin Renzhao, the commander of the East China Sea Division, officially set sail to the east, and in the same year he arrived at the Gulf of Alaska and discovered a new continent. Because it was located in the east of the Dayu court, the Emperor Dayu personally named it the East Yu Continent.

Lin Renzhao started to contact the local residents in the Eastern Yu Continent. At the beginning, it was inevitable that there would be some friction, but after the patient contact of the Dayu Navy, he came into contact with the local aborigines with the attitude of being a gentleman without being serious.

The news spread to the Central Plains, and the celebrities of the Manchu Dynasty spent half a year researching and summed up a set of theories. The ancestors of the Indians were the Huaxia people, who were descendants of the Yin people.

Everything is reasonable, in short, since ancient times...

However, compared to the Western robbers in history, Dayu's methods are much softer.When you should be tough, you should not be soft, and you will never slaughter at will, let alone carry out genocide.

Lin Renzhao also managed to find corn, sweet potatoes and other crops in the Eastern Yu Continent. Of course, Luo Youdu's longing for pepper is indispensable...

In the 22nd year of Yongjing, something happened in the West.

The Great Food Kingdom finally couldn't hold on anymore and asked for help from the East.

This time is two years later than Luo Youdu's ten-year plan...

The main reason is that Luo Youdu never imagined that Green Yi Dashi would reconcile with Black Yi Dashi...

The food in green believed in the Shi sect, while the food in black believed in the Xun sect, but in the face of the inhuman jihad of the Catholic Church, the two sides shook hands and made peace with each other, which lasted for two more years.

But it still couldn't withstand the attack of two countries that both claimed to have inherited the Roman Empire.

Dashifa professed to the Central Plains, accepted the garrison, and changed the doctrine.

Dafa did not agree at first, and was determined to fight the Catholic Church to the end.

As a result, the Catholic Church really wanted them to die. The Crusades were said to be holy wars, but in fact they were looting and massacres all the way, without any kindness or morality.

Dashi is really scared. Although Dayu's conditions are harsh, at least it is to give them a way to survive and retain their status...

The bureau laid out 12 years ago has also paid off.

Fan Hua convinced the caliph Tayir to accept all the conditions of the East.

In the 23rd year of Yongjing, Cao Bin, who was on duty in the Western Regions, led Li Jilong, Qin Han, Yin Jilun, and Jing Si to Baghdad to fight.

At that time, the two armies of Rome had broken through Asia Minor, and returned to the army on Mount Tabor near Tiberias. They successfully captured the holy city of Jerusalem, which they dreamed of, and were marching towards Baghdad.

Cao Bin took over the defense line of Baghdad and stood still in the city.

Otto the Great, who was also the king of East Francia and King of Saxony, and Basil II of the Macedonian Dynasty had been besieging for three months, and discussed the division of troops. Otto the Great would continue to attack Baghdad, and Basil II led the Byzantine navy to clean up the food in the Persian Gulf. The rebels in the country intend to block Baghdad's retreat.

Emperor Otto did not fully trust his ally, and especially told him to be careful in everything.

Basil II said proudly: "The Byzantine navy is unparalleled in the world, and the Greek fire is invincible."

Face slaps always come so fast!
A month later, the Byzantine navy was wiped out.

It was naturally the Dayu Navy that destroyed the so-called invincible Byzantine navy.

Dayu's East China Sea and South China Sea navies have been established for [-] years. They have been training in the East China Sea and South China Sea for a long time, and have accumulated a lot of sailing experience.

In particular, the East China Sea Navy discovered the East Yu Continent across the sea and accumulated a lot of sailing experience.

The [-]-year-old Lu Jiang was originally Lin Renzhao's deputy, and now he is transferred to the South China Sea Navy as Chen Decheng's deputy to impart experience.

The South China Sea Navy lived up to expectations and crossed the Arabian Sea from the South China Sea to come to support...

The Byzantine navy claimed to have Greek fire and was invincible in the world. As a result, the Dayu navy, which was already proficient in gunpowder warfare, was bombarded by crying fathers and mothers. Before their Greek fire could be sprayed, they were bombed by Dayu's thunder Spontaneous combustion...

Seeing that the situation was not good, Emperor Otto led his troops to retreat.

Cao Bin launched an all-out attack. Yin Jilun and Jing Si, two young and unrivaled generals, each led a fine cavalry and chased them for more than a hundred miles. They forced Otto the Great to commit suicide by the Euphrates River.

The builder of the Holy Roman Empire in history fell.

Cao Bin and Chen Decheng fought together by land and water, recaptured Jerusalem, and went all the way to Constantinople, forcing Basil II, who escaped by chance, to sign an alliance under the city before choosing to withdraw his troops.

This covenant under the city is somewhat similar to the covenant signed by the Great Food Law in the past.

After 12 years of economic, trade and cultural exchanges, the whole territory of the Dashi Kingdom has long accepted the oriental culture, and even a group of Donghua scholars have emerged, intending to learn the oriental culture and change the backward Dashi.

The tolerance and empathy of Confucianism is not inferior to the remote dog training in the West in later generations...

Luo Youdu did not directly send people to take over Dashi, but used the barbarians to control the barbarians. According to the list of Fan Hua's 12-year contacts in Baghdad, he granted them administrative power and supported pro-Yuan forces.

Of course Dashi has no right to support the army...

I wanted to finish writing a chapter, but I found that there is another chapter...
