Eager to gain a foothold, the Ming Dynasty defected from the navy and took the lead in lowering its stance and seeking cooperation.

They are willing to convert all of them to desert religion and respect the Caliphate as the master from now on. The Han Kingdom they established will also become a tributary state of the Caliphate.

The Caliph must also reciprocate, that is, recognize the Ming Dynasty's defected navy's right to rule Morocco, and order the clergy in Morocco not to incite rebellion.

Just a few years later, the Marin tribe was completely pacified. The Caliph felt that he was capable again and secretly incited the believers in the Han Dynasty to rebel.

Those believers have long wanted to rebel.

Because the Han people who fled here imposed brutal taxes on them. On the surface, they converted to desert religion, but in fact they were all false believers, and the teachings were completely destroyed.

Facing the rebellion, the Han army could no longer endure it. They brutally suppressed the rebels and clergy, and then marched towards the Caliphate's territory.

After the Caliphate was defeated, he quickly sued for peace again, compensated a large amount of money and food, and gave the Han King the title of Sultan.

"Where did the gunpowder that defected from the navy come from?" Wu Jiying asked.

Zeng Jiuyou said: "They have craftsmen on board who can not only make gunpowder, but also repair firearms. They adopt local orphans and teach them various skills. Now they can produce their own gunpowder, and they can also make guns and cannons. Only

But they don’t have machines, and their methods of making firecrackers and artillery are very backward.”

Queen Mother Ye asked: "They all abandoned the Confucian sages and really converted to desert religion?"

Zeng Jiuyou laughed and said: "The Caliphate is equivalent to the leader of the Desert Cult. He was beaten by them once and moved his capital, and once he was beaten by them and sued for peace, how could he really convert. And the Desert Cultists there are different. The previous dynasty was

Because polytheism was allowed, it was overthrown by the current dynasty. There are a large number of polytheists among the people, and they are taking advantage of them."

"How to use it?" Tao Jinfeng asked.

Zeng Jiuyou said: “Forcibly promoting polytheism, we brought out all the gods that the local people believed in before, and even introduced the cross religion from across the Taiwan Strait. Now the believers there can believe in desert religion and cross religion at the same time, and they even talk about the two religions.

The gods are the same person."

Tao Jinfeng smiled and said: "This is indeed interesting."

Zeng Jiuyou said: "Now there are a lot of various gods there, including cross gods, desert gods, and many old local gods. There are also those who worship Haotian God and Tathagata Buddha, and even..."

"Even what?" Deng Gongwu asked.

Zeng Jiuyou lowered his head and said: "They really deserve to die. They actually regarded Taizu and Emperor Taizong as gods, and even built statues of them in their puppet countries."

When everyone heard this, they all couldn't laugh or cry.

Zeng Jiuyou said: "They killed all the disobedient clergy. They also married local nobles and adopted a large number of orphans to train the army. Desert cultists rebelled every now and then, and they suppressed them severely every time. It seems that there has been a rebellion in the past few years.

It’s become a lot less.”

Northwest Africa and the Iberian Peninsula, where the religious situation is extremely confusing.

First of all, the polytheistic beliefs of various tribes have never disappeared. Then there is the Spanish and Portuguese cross-beliefs, which have also always existed, and can coexist with desert believers.

Even the most devout desert believers follow religious doctrines selectively, and drinking alcohol is as common as drinking water.

A group of navy bastards who defected from Nanyang, in order to prevent the Caliphate from continuing to cause trouble, completely disrupted those beliefs, and even worshiped Zhu Guoxiang and Ju Ming as gods.

"How do you know so clearly?" Deng Gongwu asked.

Zeng Jiuyou said: "What we encountered at that time were the mixed-race sons who defected from the navy and captured us and the damaged ships. Those who escaped from the navy were still alive. Deputy Admiral Yang Wenhu became the pseudo-king, and all the officers became prisoners.

He became a nobleman, and the soldiers became officers one by one."

"Yang Wenhu helped his ministers repair the ships and gave them a lot of supplies. He asked his ministers to return home to speak on their behalf, asking the Ming Emperor for forgiveness, and that the puppet Han Dynasty was willing to become an overseas vassal of the Ming Dynasty."

At this time, the Han Dynasty not only owned Morocco, but also owned one-third of Spain.

The Spaniards, who had always been ruled by desert believers, launched uprisings from time to time, which the Caliph was unable to suppress.

The bastards of the Han Dynasty, under the guise of helping the Caliphate to suppress the rebellion, crossed the strait and attacked the desert sect nobles.

Those Desert Cult aristocratic armies were attacked from both sides and were quickly defeated.

The King of Han took the opportunity to enfeoff the nobles, because if he continued to enfeoff the nobles, the Han people who defected with him would rebel.

At the same time, he announced religious freedom and won the enthusiastic support of the Cross believers, who even honored the Han King Yang Wenhu as "Priest King Saint John".

Today, all the noble lords in the southern third of Spain are Han Chinese.

Some people found that there were more Christian believers in their territory and simply converted to Christianity. But they were also false believers and did not observe monogamy at all. They all had wives and concubines.

As for the Pope?

I only know Taizu Taizong and Emperor Dingtai, who is the Pope?

Except for Yang Wenhu's navy, which can relatively maintain combat effectiveness, the army of the Han Dynasty has long been localized. Due to low productivity, most of the armed forces of the Han noble lords are not equipped with firearms, and they are just like novices fighting each other.
