Ding Yi's struggle (9)
What Louis XI didn't know was that Ding Yi was facing wars more than these three administrative regions. Moreover, for the entire Western Europe, Ding Yi was still brewing a storm that even Yu Qian and Yao Kui didn't know was: a religion war.
It is obviously extremely difficult to integrate Taoism and Christianity. It is impossible to live in peace, let alone integrate it. Although the Holy See has given the jurisdiction of the religious arbitration office, such as Zhaodi asked, to Ding Yi. In other words, the arbitration chief was responsible for the saint Ding Yi, who was enthroned by the Holy See.
But the chief of arbitration was not appointed to Isabella at Zhaodi's request, because she was too young and had an influence in the Holy See, so she was appointed to a priest, a priest who had a very poor job in the Holy See. She was appointed to this position because she was not successful.
Being directly responsible to the saints means being outside the Holy See. It seems to be promoted, but in fact it is exiled.
The priest had no pursuit. When he saw Ding Yi, he saluted and said directly: "Your Majesty, please give me the decree." That is, Ding Yi did whatever he wanted him to do, thinking that it was also the nature of coming to support his elderly care.
However, Isabella was not discouraged. She led the Taoist priests and began to secretly integrate the scriptures in secret.
It is to compose a new scripture in a far-fetched way of combining the Tao Te Ching and the Bible.
It is probably just one qi transforms into the Three Pure One, and it is with the Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit (corresponding, and then filling it in it.
Ding initially laughed at the beginning because he thought that it would be easier to just get the Yellow Turbans in the late Han Dynasty.
There are many poor people in the West, but from the perspective of being concealed, you are not afraid of having no mass base.
However, after Isabella edited it into the second edition, Ding Yi was quite amazed. She encouraged her to continue editing it. Because this is becoming more and more serious. Because when it comes to "God", the Hebrew word elohim is a plural. If this is the Trinity that highlights God, then, does one qi transform into three purities also conform to this concept?
"I don't know what you will make in the end, my knight." Ding Yi laughed and put down the scriptures compiled by Isabella.
But Isabella hesitated, as if she wanted to say but didn't dare to say it. After Ding repeatedly encouraged her, she said, "Your Majesty, my brother, I want to pass his throne to his daughter. Can I get support from you? Yes, I want to be the queen, the queen of Castile."
"No." Ding Yi shook his head and rejected her statement. He walked to the map, pointed at Castile and Aragon and other countries, and scratched a circle with his fingers, "My knight, you can't be the queen of Castile, it's not worth my support. Unless you want to be the queen of Spain."
"Spain?" There was something in Isabella's eyes that was ignited, something she had never thought about.
Ding nodded and said to her: "Yes. Spain." By now, he had already remembered that the unification of Spain seemed to be a queen, and it was not sure whether it was called Isabella. Ding Yi was not sure, but what he could be sure of was that Isabella became the queen of Spain, at least for the Western Ming Empire.
"Triden Knights, Queen of Spain Isabella!" She raised her chest and said to herself, then nodded, "Your Majesty, I admit that this sounds very good!"Triden is a trident, the weapon used by the legendary Sea King Poseidon.
Ding Yi played with the black-glazed porcelain cup in his hand and smiled: "The queen should be placed in front of me, my knight."
"No, Your Majesty, Isabella will always be your most loyal knight!" She saluted Ding Yi and said seriously.
No matter what, at least at this moment, she is indeed loyal.
"Okay, hehe." Ding Yi laughed, put down the cup in his hand, and asked her with interest, "So, what are you going to do now? I can let the troops of Rhode Island support you, fight back to Castile, and seize Aragon. You know, Governor Du of the Mediterranean Military Region has never disappointed me, and this time will be no exception."
But Isabella unexpectedly refused: "No, your majesty. If you allow it, I hope to get the Spanish crown myself. Use it." She said, picking up the scriptures that were being written for the second time, and picking up the book again, "and it."
The second book is a booklet compiled by Ding Yi, called the "Declaration of Republic". In fact, he shamelessly became a copywriter: "A ghost, the ghost of communism, wandered in Europe. All the forces in old Europe, the pope and the king of France, the Ottoman Caliph and Britain, and the monarch of Holy Roman formed a sacred alliance to drive away this ghost."
Isabella held these two books on her chest: "Maybe people don't believe in the new meaning, but the people at the bottom will join the republic; if the nobles don't join the republic, they can believe in the new sect."
"I think you have to make a choice between these two." Ding Yi put forward his own opinions.
"Your energy is limited, and it is impossible to fight on two sides, and you should never fight on two sides. This is why I have not launched a war in the Mediterranean and Asia Minor. If you fight on two sides, when there are variables beyond the plan, everything you have conceived is like a castle on the beach."
These words made Isabella fall into deep thought. She admired Ding Yi, but she was not the Mary of Burgundy. She had her own thoughts.
Finally, she replied to Ding Yi: "Then, I choose it." She put down the book "The Declaration of Republic".
This was not beyond Ding Yi's expectations, because if she was done according to the Republican Declaration, then in the end, as the queen, she was only a symbol of a country and could not really control the entire country. She admired Ding Yi, but she was not Ding Yi.
Isabella was sober: “If I were the same as Margaret of Anjou, then choose it,” she referred to the Declaration of Republic, “it would be more confident, but my situation was not as bad as hers. So I didn’t have to choose this path that would make me lose a lot.”
"Margaret has no way out, and I still have nobles who support me, not a few. So, I don't need to venture to become Tiberius Sempronius Gragu II." She was very frank. Gragu was a politician in ancient Rome. His political proposition was to distribute the extra land of the nobles and landlords to the common people, and deprive the privileges of the Senate. From this point of view, there are many similarities with the republic organization that Ding Yi was manipulating. Importantly, Gragu touched the interests of the Senate and the nobles, and was finally killed by the conservative nobles.
"I will support you, just like supporting Margaret." Ding Yi also made a statement, "but you also need to pay a price."
"That's what I hope for, Your Majesty." She blushed, knelt in front of Ding Yi's feet, and kissed Ding Yi's boots, "This is the honor of Isabella."
Ding Yi was so scared that he quickly helped her up: "What are you talking about? I mean, weapons and equipment, you have to go to Castile to raise money to buy it. If the amount needed is relatively large, maybe after you become the real queen, you have to provide the Ximing Navy and provide the port of supply as a reward."
"Ah?" Her face was almost red and bleeding, and she was so embarrassed that she was at a loss.
Perhaps because Ding Yi gave Margaret the support, even in the cute knights, the simple Mary felt jealous. So Margaret repeatedly implied that she had served Ding Yi. She probably thought this would analyze Ding Yi's special care for her, but in Isabella's view, it was a show-off. So she just said that this was her honor.
The scene was in awkward, both Ding Yi and Isabella.
In the end, Ding Yi broke the silence: "My Knight, you misunderstood. Margaret and I are just adults. They are just physically, yes, just physically needing each other. Of course, I admit that this is not good, and I will pay attention to this issue in the future."
"Your Majesty, Isabella is also an adult woman." She mustered up the courage.
Dan Ding Yi is not a nerd who pounces on women when he sees women. In fact, at his level, if he still sticks to this level, it is not an ordinary failure: "No, my knight, you are always a naughty little girl in my heart." Ding Yi kissed her forehead, only the elders' feelings towards the younger generation, and it has nothing to do with love or lust.
"As you wish, your Majesty, Isabella will never disobey your will." Tears flowed in her eyes, but she did not wipe them away. She saluted Ding, and then looked up as she retreated, "Then let the future Spain have a virgin queen, the great Majesty."
This gave Ding Yi a headache. Cao Jixiang whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, Isabella is much more beautiful than Princess Anna." Or it should be said that it is more in line with the aesthetics of China and will be more appropriate, "It is better to enter the harem as well..."
"Ming Feng is so beautiful, and he has to wear a lot of makeup to suppress autumn flowers." Ding Yi followed Xin Qiji's words for no reason.
"I still prefer Qi Ji's lyrics, 'Dance and Song Stage, the romantic flow is always blown away by the rain and wind', Lao Cao, enter the harem? Then there is no need to blow the rain and wind. The foundation we have built over the past few years will melt in a moment." Ding Yi shook his head and changed the topic, "How is Margaret's where?"
"She is determined to carry out the construction of the Republican organization in the UK and is ready to leave Lancaster completely."
Ding nodded: "Give an order to the ninth day of the dynasty. If Britain becomes popular, the Paris Commune will be established. If Margaret is confident of abandoning the Lancaster family, then this will not be just her war, but our war!"
