Chapter 863 No guns, no cannons, only revolvers!
1691 AD, Autumn, Atlantic Ocean.
The battleship "Qing" and the battleship "Dajin" have already bypassed the vast African continent and entered the vast Atlantic Ocean. Now they are almost close to the coast of the European continent!
This is the first time in the history of the Mongolian navy that it has entered the Atlantic Ocean, which seems to be the "private sea" of Westerners. And the Mongolian Zhijun King Yinti was also the first to take a boat across the Atlantic Ocean to the East of Europe.
The prince and king of a great country... just because of this, he can be famous in the history of the world. And he is not only famous in the history of Mongolia, India, but also in the history of the world.
Because he had unknowingly participated in the "American Hundred Years' War", one of the most important historical events at the end of the 17th century!
That's right, the Merchant-Spanish War is currently dragging on, and it will soon escalate into an "American War". European countries with colonies in the Americas, such as England, France, and Portugal, will be involved in it. And
The duration of this war will exceed the expectations of most people, including Zhu Heji himself.
This war will last for more than a hundred years!
In fact, European wars in the 17th and 18th centuries were almost all protracted wars. They often lasted for ten to twenty years! However, the intensity of such protracted wars was not high, and the process was generally slow. Two large-scale battles
The time interval is often measured in years... After all, the level of productivity and communication, organization, and mobilization capabilities these days are only at this level, and it is impossible to get up faster even if you want.
However, there were no peaceful years on the European continent in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was almost as soon as one war was over that we could prepare for the next war! The hegemony and leadership of European civilization in history was actually tempered in these wars.
If they don't have great fighting power, even if they make great geographical discoveries and want to spread colonies all over the world, it will be impossible.
Now, it seems that the Great Ming Dynasty and the Great Mongol-Indian Empire, two big players and big financiers from Eastern civilization, must also actively participate in the wars in Europe and America, and they must participate.
Because the confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongol-Indian Empire will definitely continue for a long time. The Ming Dynasty will not give up Monan, Mobei, Snowy Plateau and part of Mongolia.
Similarly, the Great Mongolia-Indian Empire cannot give up on the Hezhong and Kazakh grasslands, because those territories are the backbone of the Great Mongolia-Indian Empire's military power. If they abandon them, the empire will become a toothless tiger. Let alone counterattack the Central Plains.
It is impossible to be partial to India.
Since the strength of the Ming Dynasty is obviously stronger than that of the Mongol-Indian Empire, without the support of European countries, the Ming Navy can easily enter the Indian Ocean. Once the Ming Dynasty enters the Indian Ocean, the Ming-Ottoman-Hindustan Empire will continue to
into one piece.
By then, the Great Mongol-Indian Empire would be surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the war would start on multiple fronts. The result would not be very good no matter how you look at it! Therefore, if Kangxi Khan and his heirs wanted to continue to mix, they had to win over Europe.
To hold Europe back, we must participate in the European wars. Because once the Europeans lose to the Ottoman Empire in Central Europe and the merchants in America, they will not be able to maintain their presence in the Indian Ocean. So Kangxi Khan
Only after stabilizing the basic position in northwest India and Central Asia, will they actively participate in the European military and politics.
Similarly, in order to prevent the "Great Ming-Shang Fang-Hindustan-Ottoman-Turkish Alliance" from becoming a reality, the Europeans had to tie themselves to the Great Mongol-Indian Empire, forming an increasingly tight alliance.
alliance.
And Yinti's trip to Europe can be seen as the beginning of a comprehensive alliance between the Great Mongolia-Indian Empire and Western European Franks!
It also means the beginning of a Hundred Years War in which all major countries in the world will participate in various forms!
This historical significance cannot be overemphasized, right?
...
Yinti was now accustomed to the turbulence of the sea, and was finally able to walk out of the closed cabin. Together with Shi Shilun, the supervisor of the Daqing, he stood on the rear deck of the Daqing, observing the officers and soldiers of the Mongolian navy with great interest.
their training.
The navy of the Great Mongolia follows the line of appropriationism. The two battleships Daqing and Dajin are third-class battleships purchased from England and modified with "sugar-medicine". Half of the officers on board are highly paid.
The daily military training of the hired officers of the English Navy is carried out by these "foreign instructors". Although the formation time is not too long, and the battleships are not advanced, judging from their training and ship-handling standards, they are
There is also a sense of integrity.
In time, this Mongolian navy should be able to grow into a maritime hegemon in the Indian Ocean, right? Ten or twenty years later, the Mongolian navy may be able to carry the Mongolian army through the Strait of Malacca in a mighty way.
Fight towards the land that was once conquered by the Qing Dynasty and has now become an eternal pain in the hearts of the Eight Banners disciples...
Thinking of this, Yinti looked at the sailors on the deck who were conducting gunnery training, completing simulated loading and firing again and again amidst the command in English, and finally a smile of great anticipation appeared on his face.
Just as Yinti was looking forward to the day he would go back to his hometown, the sound of two people arguing suddenly came from behind him.
"No, this won't work! How can we compromise with the devil? Master Qiling, this is the biggest difference between us Catholics and you Taoists. We will fight resolutely against all evil in the world and never compromise!"
"Bishop Bai, what you said...their Jiejiao are also from my Taoist lineage, so how can they be devils? Is it possible that in your eyes, poor Taoists are also devils?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Master Qiling, you should regard those Jiejie sects as devils, because they are the heretics of your Taoism! Heretics are more hateful than heretics, and they must be
Completely annihilate!"
"Where do you come from? Their disciples are the disciples and grandsons of Master Tongtian, and Master Tongtian is probably the Supreme Purity Lingbao Tianzun, who is also one of the Three Pure Ones. They are all the ancestors of my Taoism. Why do they have to be eliminated?"
According to your opinion, aren't the Confucian Kong Shenggong and the Lamaist Sanchi Lama both heretics? They both need to be eliminated? But they and I are brothers, and the three of us worshiped the Second Master Guan together! And Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism
The three religions are basically one family!"
"Master Qi Ling, I really don't know what to say to you... The religious views of you Easterners are really, really weird! That leader of the Tongtian cult is clearly the leader of the heresy and should be expelled.
How can you still be regarded as the founder of a sect? There are three religions and one family... It’s incredible! Also, one of you worships Sanqing, one worships Confucius, and the other worships Buddha. How can you put them together?
Pay homage to Mr. Guan? What do you believe in?"
"Hey, what's so incredible about this? Why are you, a foreign monk, so stubborn? There are gods and Buddhas all over the sky. Whichever one is efficacious and whichever one is useful, then just worship that one!"
Hearing the content of the argument between the two, Yinti couldn't help but smile bitterly. After leaving Diu Port, the two magicians got together and quarreled when they had nothing to do, and the content of their quarrel was quite high-grade.
, it’s about God, devils, gods and Buddhas, the Three Purities, faith and the origin of the universe!
It's just that no matter how much they quarrel, they can't come up with a solution, because no one can convince the other.
That foreign monk, Bishop Bai Jin, actually had a very good understanding of Chinese culture and religious views. He even studied the "Book of Changes" for this purpose. He also had a very good relationship with Kangxi Khan, Qiling Dazhen, and Kong Shenggong. Before leaving India, he also
I have never had a dispute with anyone over the issue of "one god" and "many gods".
But on the way to Europe, perhaps because they were too bored, the two began to quarrel endlessly about "gods".
In Yinti's view, Master Qiling's sophisticated views are obviously correct... When it comes to worshiping God, just worship casually, why are you so serious?
In addition, those who taught Jie were at best animal spirits, not devils. Although Su Daji was a bit bad, he was just a lovable vixen, not a devil.
Thinking of this, Yinti turned around and said to Bai Jin and Zhang Hongtian: "Two gentlemen, stop arguing. It's not worth getting angry over such a trivial matter. Europe is almost here... Let's discuss it.
How can I make a papal donation for Bishop Bai? How should I give this money? Should I carry it into the Sistine Chapel?"
"Your Majesty, this matter is not important," Bai Jin walked up to Yinti, bowed, and said to him with a smile, "This time the papal election is different from the past. Money is no longer a decisive factor, but
The determination and method of fighting the devil are the real decisive factors. Because the entire Christian camp needs a pope who can lead them to fight resolutely and uncompromisingly against the devil under the protection of God!"
"But," Yinti frowned, "but if there is no devil, what should we do?"
There is no devil. This is the unanimous opinion reached by Kangxi, Kong Shenggong and Zhang Hongtian after studying the "American Devil Incident" and the "Pope Sacrifice Incident".
"No, there is a devil!" Bai Jin said word by word, "Shangfang is a country deceived by the devil. The people of Shangfang have sold their souls to the devil... This issue cannot be doubted!
"
Zhang Hongtian also came forward at this time, "Your Majesty, this probably means 'if you are, you are, and if you are not', right?"
Bai Jin actually nodded seriously and said: "You can also say that! If the Mongolian-Indian Empire wants to stand with Europe, then we must understand that we Europeans are very serious and persistent about our beliefs! We will never
We will not compromise with the devil, nor will we compromise with enemies who sell their souls to the devil... So the war in North America will continue until the Shang Fang Kingdom is completely wiped out!
And the war between Central Europe and the Ottoman Empire will continue until the Ottoman Empire is completely defeated... This is our Europeans' firm will and persistent pursuit of truth!
Moreover, we Europeans and you, Mongolia, both need to defeat the war between the devil and the country of the devil and those countries that try to fight against us by supporting the country of the devil! Although winning is not easy, the process of the war will definitely be long and long.
The cruelty may last for a hundred years, but this hundred-year war will allow us to accept the temper of war and become united and strong, and our enemies...will definitely be destroyed!"
After hearing Bai Jin's statement, both Yinti and Zhang Hongtian were stunned. They had never thought that Europeans could unite for a non-existent devil and fight the most powerful empire in the world for a hundred years.
fight!
Seeing the surprised expressions of the two people, Bai Jin smiled proudly: "Your Majesty, Da Zhenren... Do you now know how powerful the power of faith is? Only a civilization with faith can carry out real long-term development.
And it is a cruel struggle. It is impossible for a civilization without faith or a civilization with weak faith to carry out such a long-term struggle. Because in their view, such a struggle is meaningless and sometimes even self-harm, so they must
Without the determination to fight to the end, even if the emperor himself wants to keep fighting, he is not a god after all. He will always die, leaving behind a country that does not want to fight an endless struggle for its beliefs. At that time, we will
Can win!"
Archbishop Bai, who had followed Kangxi for many years and stayed in China for several years, seemed to have a clear understanding of the faith issues of the Chinese nation... The Chinese nation prefers to live in harmony, otherwise they would not
There will be no great unification. In Europe, this sect and that sect must be clearly distinguished, and they all regard each other as enemies of God. It would be too difficult to knead them together to form a unified country.
And he can also see clearly who the enemy is? The enemy is not Shang Fang at all, but Da Ming behind Shang Fang - if "there is no devil", then Da Ming is probably the devil behind Shang Fang!
But the empires that came out of Hexini also had their weaknesses... there were too many people, too big a place, too rich resources, and it was easy to get by. So it was difficult for them to carry out long-term struggles and it was easy to compromise. For example, the former Ming Dynasty
, in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, they were the most powerful empire in the world. They were fully capable of conquering the grasslands, pacifying Nanyang, and engulfing Japan. But after they encountered some difficulties, they chose to retreat and compromise, and did not engage in a century-old struggle at all.
will!
As a result, their retreat and compromise gave the enemies on the grassland a chance to breathe and regain lost ground. It also gave European power the opportunity to infect the Southern Ocean, compressing the development space of the Ming Dynasty. It also allowed Japan to fight in the long civil war.
After completing the integration, they were finally able to send troops to North Korea to engage in a war of attrition with the Ming Dynasty, which exhausted the few military resources left by the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, there is only one way to defeat the Ming Dynasty or the devil, which is to carry out a hundred-year war!
