At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 635: Datong Theological Society and Utilitarianism

On December 46th, the 12th year of the Han calendar, in the library of Xiqin City, Yanzhou Governor's Office.

Thor took the "Sacred Words" taught to him by his elder brother Sobek and studied it carefully.

After he took refuge in the Yanzhou Military Governor's Office, Liu Ruyi first gave him a thorough cleansing, threw away his tattered beggar's clothes, and gave him Han army uniforms.

Here he came into contact with a bathhouse for the first time, tasted the delicious food of the Han Dynasty for the first time, and saw a prosperous city that was different from the Ptolemaic Empire.

The Ptolemaic Empire is now covered in blood and in turmoil, but the civilians, merchants, and soldiers in Xiqin City are more stable than ever before. This is a city that has never been more stable and peaceful, as if the turmoil in the Ptolemaic Empire has nothing to do with them.

And this was indeed the case. The Ptolemaic State strictly guarded the Yanzhou Governor's Office and dispatched a large number of troops to be stationed on the border of the canal to prevent its people from escaping to the canal. However, as long as they got within ten miles of the canal, the Ptolemaic army dared not pursue them.

After Liu Ruyi had nursed Tuoer and the others back to good health, he arranged for them to attend the Ptolemy Officer Training Class, which consisted of half a day of cultural classes and half a day of military classes.

Here he found many people who had suffered oppression and persecution from the Ptolemaic Empire like him. These people included slaves, civilians, nobles, and priests. The Ptolemaic Empire's purge this time was indiscriminate, and even those among their rulers were included in the scope of the purge.

This allowed Thor to find a group of like-minded people. However, Thor was a little disappointed that although the Han Dynasty trained them, they were not willing to interfere too deeply in the civil war of the Ptolemaic Kingdom.

His eldest brother's teacher, General Liu Ruyi, told him that this was their own war and that the Ptolemaic Empire had to be liberated by themselves.

Although this made him a little disappointed, he soon figured it out and decided that it would be better for him to take revenge on his own, and he would not let any of the nobles of the Ptolemaic Kingdom go unpunished.

Carrying the heavy burden of the blood sea, he trained extremely hard and learned culture very quickly. He was already proficient in the writing of Ptolemy. In this month, he learned simple Chinese communication and is now learning commonly used Chinese characters.

During his rest time, he liked to go to the library to read books. His favorite books were "The Chronicles of the Han Dynasty" and "The Records of the Sacred Words". He found that reading these two books together in timeline could help him understand more clearly what happened and the content.

When he read in "The Chronicles of the Han Dynasty" that the Holy Emperor saved his allies, occupied Yingchuan County, and published the Great Qin Investigation Report, he felt extremely annoyed after reading the investigation report.

His elder brother knew that his enemies were tax farmers, nobles, and priests, and he had always attacked these people. But his elder brother did not find his friends, and did not mobilize the lower-class civilians of the entire Ptolemy Kingdom like the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. He did not divide his enemies and unite his allies like the Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty, nor did he attach importance to training the army like the Holy Emperor. If his elder brother had developed in Memphis for a period of time and trained the army well, he would not have failed so quickly.

Just when Thor was feeling frustrated, his classmate Knum sat beside him and said, "Thor, join our Great Unity Theological Society. We are all brothers like you who have deep blood feuds. The power of one person is too weak. Only if we unite can we become stronger."

"If I join you, I will not be able to take revenge. And don't think that I can't see through your little thoughts. You just want to overthrow the Ptolemaic dynasty and establish your own dynasty. I will not serve your ambition." Thor looked at Khnum with a little annoyance.

He had been chasing him for three days, wanting him to join the Datong Theological Society. However, since Tuoer had grown up under the bullying of his classmates in the temple, he naturally had no interest in the Datong Theological Society.

Khnum, however, said with a look as if he had misunderstood me: "It is not to establish my dynasty, but to establish a dynasty belonging to us Egyptians."

Khnum was one of the people with the highest status who fled to Xiqinzhou. His family was a Ptolemaic priest family. Since they were not from the Greek civilization, they could not become high-ranking officials of the Ptolemaic Kingdom. The Ptolemaic Dynasty did the same thing as my Daqing Dynasty, using the small to control the big. They maintained the Ptolemaic rule by relying on the clansmen who came from the Greek region. Only these people would become high-ranking officials in the central government and rule the Ptolemaic Kingdom for the Ptolemaic royal family.

However, because they were a priest family and were considered local tyrants, Khnum believed in the ram god, which was not a large sect in the Ptolemaic Empire. The believers were mainly poor sheepherders, and they had no money or power. After Khnum became an adult, he was sent to a relatively poor village under the operation of his parents to build a temple for the ram god.

But because he was young, he was curious about the outside world. His temple was close to the Suez Canal, so he attended classes in the Han Dynasty and learned some knowledge about animal husbandry. Then he led the shepherds under his jurisdiction to plant alfalfa, build silage towers, and learn how to artificially extract semen to breed cattle and sheep. The cattle and sheep under his jurisdiction tripled in 5 years, and Khnum immediately became the most famous ram god in the surrounding area. From this time on, he had some reputation in the Ptolemy Kingdom.

It was during this period that he fell in love with the culture of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, his temple was not far from Alexandria, and he often attended scholar gatherings in Alexandria. He then spread the idea of ​​Great Harmony that he had learned in the Han Dynasty to other scholars. It happened that the idea of ​​Great Harmony was a hot topic in the entire Mediterranean region at that time, and he became a well-known figure in the scholar circle.

Later, some nobles and scholars conducted experiments on the slave system, which inspired him. He also conducted an experiment on the theology of Datong on the territory of his own temple, with the temple's priests as the leader. Thousands of herdsmen on his territory grazed and lived together, which had a lot of primitive meaning.

As a result, just one year after his experiment began, the idea of ​​Great Harmony went from being the mainstream ideology of the Ptolemaic Empire to a banned subject. He was therefore implicated and wanted by the Ptolemaic Empire. If his temple had not been close to the Suez Canal, he would probably have been imprisoned in Alexandria.

Although Khnum was transformed from a noble priest into a wanted criminal, he quickly recovered from his depression. He taught himself Chinese, and relying on his language talent, he was able to read articles written in the vernacular Chinese in more than half a year.

He absorbed the culture of the Han Dynasty from the library of Xiqinzhou and learned about what had happened since the founding of the Han Dynasty. He then established the Theological Association in Xiqin City and called for the expulsion of the Ptolemaic Dynasty and the restoration of Egypt.

He used this as a platform, pointing out that the royal family of the Ptolemaic kings were Greeks, that they were the mountains of Greek oppression against the Egyptians, that these Greeks were arrogant and lustful, squandered the Egyptians' property wantonly, and brutally and viciously killed the Egyptians.

If Egypt wants to have the same future as the Han Dynasty, it must remove the huge mountain of the Ptolemaic royal family.

Khnum's proposition was in line with the ideas of the Ptolemaic civilians and scholars who fled here. The Great Harmony Theology Society expanded rapidly and absorbed most of the Ptolemaic people here.

They have also founded an Egyptian weekly, which is of course not a regular newspaper. They secretly crossed the canal, sneaked into the cities of the Ptolemaic Kingdom, and began to promote their ideas.

Knum's propaganda was supported by local powerful people in the Ptolemaic Empire. There were also different levels of power within the Ptolemaic Empire. The highest level was naturally the Ptolemaic royal family. The second highest level was Greece, Macedonia, and the Seleucids. All high-level positions in the Ptolemaic Empire were occupied by these people. The queen of the Ptolemaic royal family was not chosen from the Egyptians, but from their enemy, Seleucus. In addition, most of the benefits of the great voyages were also monopolized by them.

Hundreds of years of suppression and the struggle for power and interests have made the local tyrants of the Ptolemaic Empire dissatisfied with the Greeks headed by Ptolemy VI. The Sobek Uprising also made the local tyrants see the weakness of the Ptolemaic Dynasty's rule, which was almost defeated by the serf uprising. During the Sobek Uprising, these tyrants recruited troops on a large scale and formed their own military forces. After the local tyrants had military forces, they were even more dissatisfied with the interests of the Ptolemaic Empire being occupied by the Greeks, and it seemed that the time had come to replace a new royal family.

The slogan promoted by Heknum to expel Ptolemy and restore Egypt was very much in line with their interests. However, they were dissatisfied with the equal distribution of land. They expelled the Ptolemaic royal family in order to become king themselves, rather than to distribute their own land to serfs.

However, Khnum is useful to them at this stage, so these local tyrants secretly let the Great Harmony Theological Society run its course, so now there are members in cities such as Alexandria and Memphis.

Thor sneered and said, "Don't count me or the common people. Even if you overthrow the Ptolemaic dynasty, it is not my Egypt, but the Egypt of you nobles and worshippers." Thor did not like this idea, because according to his idea, as long as the Ptolemaic royal family was driven out, Egypt was restored, and then the rule of great harmony was implemented, Egypt would quickly become as wealthy as the Han Dynasty. But he knew clearly that the executioner who killed his brother was a noble and a tax farmer in Egypt. If he could not kill these murderers, what revenge would he have?

Khnum looked troubled. He never expected Thor to be so stubborn.

He explained: "Noble, sacrifice is our Egyptian tradition, and after we overthrow the Ptolemaic dynasty, we can implement the same equal land system as the Han Dynasty, and every Egyptian civilian can get 50 acres of land."

Tuo'er sneered, "The land is in the hands of the nobles and priests. You only drove away the Ptolemaic royal family, but did not overthrow the nobles and priests of the Ptolemaic Kingdom. You can't even take back the land in their hands. How can you distribute the land equally? Your so-called equal distribution of land is just a slogan."

Then he raised the book in his hand and said, "The Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty killed all the nobles of the Qin Dynasty. This is the true equal distribution of land."

Knum looked helpless. Young people nowadays are so violent and want to kill the whole family at any time.

"Our main enemy now is the Ptolemy royal family. Since you used the words of the Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Holy Emperor also said that we should divide our enemies and unite our allies. Our biggest enemy now is the Ptolemy royal family. Driving them out is the primary task of our revolution."

"The nobles and priests from Egypt can become our friends. Moreover, equal distribution of land does not necessarily require killing. We can use a redemption policy to first buy the land from the nobles and priests, and then distribute it to the common people. After the common people get the land, they can repay part of the debt every year. In ten years at most, they can get their own land. In this way, the conflict with the nobles will be resolved."

He came from a priest class, and even though he was now wanted by the Ptolemaic dynasty, he had no intention of destroying the Egyptian nobility and priest class. All he wanted was to drive out the Ptolemaic royal family. As long as they replaced them with the Egyptian royal family and then let Egypt learn the policies of the Han Dynasty, in a few years Egypt could become the same as the Han Dynasty.

"Bullshit!" Toer left as if he was a liar.

"Boasting" is a new word created by Xiqin City. It has the largest cattle and horse market in the entire Daqin Continent. The herdsmen who come here to sell cattle and horses often boast about the strength of their own cattle and horses and exaggerate to make a profit. When people are deceived and encounter such herdsmen, they say they are bragging.

Khnum shook his head and said, "There are too many stubborn people like this in the country, which is why Egypt is ruled by foreigners."

The reason why he wanted Tuo'er to become a member of their Datong Theological Society was that he knew that Tuo'er lived in the residence of a general in the Yanzhou Governor's Mansion. He planned to use this relationship to find a way to get the Han people to support their Datong Theological Society to replace the Ptolemy royal family. Now that this road was blocked, he could only think of other ways.

At the Consulate General of Daqinzhou, Zhang Pijiang was investigating the events in the various countries of Daqinzhou and then reporting them to the Han Dynasty. At this time, he saw a strange letter.

It was a letter written to him by Knum, the president of the Datong Theological Society, saying that he was willing to cede the territory west of the Suez Canal to the Han Dynasty in exchange for 1 million yuan of military equipment. At the same time, he also guaranteed that if his revolution was successful, he would bring Egypt to continue to sign an alliance agreement with the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Pijiang laughed at the letter and said, "What a liar."

Then he threw the letter into the trash and paid no more attention to it.

On April 47, the 4th year of the Han calendar, in Wu County, Kuaiji County.

Ever since the Emperor of the Han Dynasty announced that he would hold the Global Datong Conference in Kuaiji County, scholars from the territories of the Han princes and members of the Datong Conference from all over the Qin Continent all gathered in Kuaiji County. Kuaiji County, which was already diverse, saw the addition of more than 100,000 blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners in the past six months.

Kuaiji County, Museum.

Team leader Xu Qiang said: "This is the largest museum in Kuaiji County. It records the history of Kuaiji County for hundreds of years and its rapid development in the past few decades."

Then Xu Qiang pointed at the statue of Ye Teng and said, "This man is Ye Gong. The rise of Kuaiji County was achieved under Ye Gong. In order to reward his merits, the emperor conferred the title of Ye Gong on him and made him one of the princes of the Han Dynasty. He had a fiefdom of 3,000 miles in the New World."

A group of scholars from Daqinzhou looked at the statue with great envy. With a fiefdom of three thousand miles, there were really few countries in Daqinzhou that had a larger fiefdom than Ye Gong, except for a few big countries like Rome, Ptolemy, Seleucus, etc.

But they thought that the prosperous Kuaiji County, which was like the Kingdom of Heaven, was completed under the governance of Ye Gong, and they felt that Ye Gong's contribution was worthy of this fiefdom. You should know that the size of Kuaiji County has exceeded the imagination of these Daqinzhou scholars. The population of this county has exceeded 700 million, which can be ranked in the top three in Daqinzhou. The population of Wu County all year round exceeds 300 million. Even if it is considered a country, it can be ranked in the top five in Daqinzhou. The prosperous scene of Wu County left an inexplicable impression on these Daqinzhou scholars.

At this time, the Roman representative Polo looked at Xu Qiang curiously and asked: "You speak Roman so well, are you Roman?"

Xu Qiang's face immediately turned serious and he said, "Don't talk nonsense. I am a Han Chinese with pure blood."

The representatives of Daqinzhou were all looking at Xu Qiang, a man with blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin, in astonishment. "You clearly look like a Germanic barbarian. Do you really think we have never seen him before? You are here saying that you are Han Chinese without any evidence? We Romans look more like Han Chinese than you. At least our hair is black."

The suspicious eyes of the scholars from Daqinzhou undoubtedly tread on Xu Qiang's tail. He said firmly: "You foreigners, what do you know! I am a Xiongnu. My ancestor is Dayu, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Han Dynasty. I am a Han Chinese with pure blood."

"What kind of barbarians dare to doubt my bloodline? If it weren't for the fact that you contributed a lot of money, I would have abandoned you long ago." Xu Qiang cursed inwardly.

"How can the Germans be the pure-blooded Han people?" These scholars were puzzled. It was obvious that the Han Dynasty was full of yellow people. The royal family, nobles, princes, and officials in their territory were all yellow people. How come the Germans were of pure blood?

Cornelius, who had studied in the Han Dynasty for four years at this time, said: "There is indeed a tribe of Germanic descent in the Han Dynasty. They were originally the Huns. The ancestors of the Huns founded a dynasty called Xia in the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago. The founder of this dynasty was Dayu, one of the Five Emperors of the Han Dynasty. It is possible that a group of Germanic nomads migrated to the border of the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago and finally integrated into the Han Dynasty."

He had been in Chang'an for several years and knew that there were tens of thousands of Xiongnu people in Chang'an who were white people. He also knew that the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty was a utilitarian. As long as there was profit, he didn't care about the purity of blood. He could trace the Han blood of the natives of Nanyang and the natives of the New World, who were tens of thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty.

Cornelius and his colleagues studied in Chang'an for four years and were deeply influenced by this idea. If Rome could obtain two continents, it would be fine to recognize these natives as Romans. So after returning to Rome, they were also very utilitarian. The Gauls were their brothers, and the territory of the Gauls had been the territory of the Romans since ancient times.
