The son is silent, and the power is confused! The words of Confucius have forged the attitude of the Chinese scholars towards religion for more than 2,000 years, and the scholars have a high tolerance for foreign religions such as Buddhism and Taoism. Basically, not much.

It was the casual practice of this general religion, that day Lou Shide "converted" to Christ, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a cross, and leading a few Roman local senators with sad faces.

In the West, when Christianity flourished, whether or not to believe in Christianity was regarded as the difference between barbarians and civilized people, and when he saw Lou Shide dressed as himself, he really did not order the arrow to be released, but welcomed him into the city hall of Thessaloniki.

As long as he can communicate, Lou Shide's three-inch incorruptible tongue can start a fire, first emphasizing the orthodox status of King Min and Princess Anna, and then boasting of the national strength of Min, degrading this defeat as a drop in the bucket, and how Li Jie believes in Christ is like a goddess scattering flowers, and finally guarantees that if Damin surrenders, these Roman manor lords and nobles in Thessaloniki will be reused.

These words are both soft and hard, hit a stick to a sweet date, coupled with the previous Arab offensive vividly, the threat of the Hun cavalry is imminent, was fooled by Lou Shide for half an afternoon, the Macedonian nobles were really moved, that night there was a coup d'état between the pro-emperor faction and the pro-Anna empress faction, and the next day, the soldiers of the right thousand cow guards and the defenders of Sesaloniki stood together again, and repelled the Hun cavalry on the city wall in the name of Constantine IV who came to rob.

After the defeat of Li Ji's army, as a general who defended against the West, Su Lie also lost his support behind him, but as a famous general who captured Jieli Khan alive and could sit in the position of the secretary of the military department of the Gaozong Dynasty in history, Su Dingfang was naturally unwilling to wait for death, and led the army to give up the confrontation with the central Romans, and went straight to the coastal port city of Vika.

Using the art of war, with a small group of cavalry to disguise the defeated soldiers to lure out the defenders of Vika City, Su Dingfang's army ambushed outside the city, taking advantage of the defenders' pursuit and killing to take their back road, and then a charge broke through the city gate, and this port city in the Mediterranean Sea was still very important.

Su Dingfang's strategic intention is very clear, even if it is defeated outside the city of Constantinople, the naval division of the Great Min is still stronger than the Roman navy, and sooner or later it will make a comeback, with less than 20,000 people in the field in the face of wave after wave of attacks by the Romans, he will definitely suffer a loss, it is better to take the risk of conquering a port, on the one hand, he can wait for support at any time, on the other hand, there is a city as a support, and the sergeants can still be at peace in their hearts, otherwise as an Asian army, they will be left alone in Europe, and their hearts will be fifteen buckets of water.

On the night when Su Dingfang captured Vika City, the messenger sent by Lou Shide after persuading Celsaloniki to surrender was also early, and Su Dingfang also knew that a little victory at this time would encourage the situation in the imperial court, so he used the carrier pigeon in the army to deliver the news as soon as possible, and sent the sergeant to force the sea with a fishing boat.

The landlubber messenger of Guanning Iron Rider is estimated to never be able to return to Asia, God knows that the messenger group composed of two Black Water Warriors, three Tiele people, and one Guanzhong people floated to that corner of Europe, but the bad pigeon brought the situation back, and by the emperor's order, Liu Renliang sent a detachment to Vika, and finally contacted the two Fujian troops left behind in Europe on the fifth day.

Fortunately, there were still armies fighting in Europe, which quickly calmed the tension of the imperial court, and the efficient imperial court created by Li Jie began to operate like a flowing cloud.

First of all, Li Jie did not choose to transport a large amount of money to the front line, there was more money in his pocket, but it would make the army have no heart to fight, so he ordered it to be transferred directly to Li Jin, ordering him to pay for the transportation of materials from the Beijing division to appease the 200,000 soldiers who went out to the army, the family of the regular army, and then let the family of the person who received the money and food write to the family of the front line.

Du Fu once made poems, and the beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 gold! It can be seen that in this era, the difficulty of delivering letters, about two months of tossing and turning, more than 200,000 letters were transported to the large military camp of the Buddha Temple, with the letters written by the fathers and elders in their hometowns, the grateful feelings of the soldiers who escaped death can be imagined.

This incident gave Li Jie more inspiration, and there was a national postal department under the command of the Ministry of Household Affairs of Damin, and a post office began to settle in various parts of the occupied area, and Damin is a country of immigrants, and scattered relatives can maintain correspondence with each other, which makes the migration work easier.

Then there was the reorganization, and finally the number of losses of the Great Min under the city of Constantinople was counted, not counting the total loss of more than 148,000 Arabs, of which the 15,000 sailors of the army of the sailor division Lu Ning were almost wiped out, in addition to this, not all of them were killed, the number of people killed that day should be around 30,000, and the rest were scattered in the Balkans, some of them were hidden in the countryside, and some defected to Su Dingfang in Vika, so that the strength of the European expeditionary force increased.

The more than 115,000 people who fled back were completely disrupted, and some of the prefectures were directly converted into corps, plus some remnants of the Roman legions, and the Arabs who fled back were built into a total of eight temporary armies, each of which had 12,500 people according to Li Weigong's law of war, but 2,500 logistics troops were thrown out, and the number of combatants was about 10,000.

On September 15 of the sixth year of the Great Min Dynasty, the newly compiled Eight Guards of Loyalty and Courage were inspected by the King of Min and the ministers of the Great Min in the plain under the mountain city of Caesarea, especially those Roman senators who had come from Rome and had been incorporated into the civil official queue by Li Jie.

The eight legions put out a huge Bagua array, the cavalry is vertical and horizontal, the infantry is like a wall, between advance and retreat, the formation is not chaotic, although it is equipped with a new army, it still seems that there is not enough running-in, but the Fujian army has come out of the shadow of the fiasco.

Standing on the mountain, inspecting his own legion, Li Jie finally felt some confidence in his heart.

Although there is only half of September left, but many major events have happened, September 19, the punishment of the defeat of the Great Min has basically been issued, the British duke, the military department of Shangshu Li Ji was officially seized of the official, and the title was demoted to a concubine, but remembering that he was the Great Min, the merits of the Tang Dynasty, the court had no nationality and no family property, and the King of Min had some mercy, Li Jie wanted to let Li Ji go to the newly established sanatorium in the Dead Sea to recuperate, but this stubborn old man strongly asked to go to Kufa City to be exiled.

The bad climate there is a punishment for himself, and at the same time, his most proud grandson died there, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for the old man, and he can't resist him, so Li Jie agreed.

When the Hun cavalry invaded the Chinese army, twenty-six partial generals who gave up their command and fled alone, Zhonglang General, and Du Wei were beheaded on the street, which was a heavy punishment in the Great Min army, because the practice of Great Min was to send out Nanyang Borneo, or Kufa, Nev had to defend the desert, Li Jie was ruthless this time, in order to remind his generals that no matter what, duty always comes first!

The remaining more than 100 generals were demoted, and the rest of the punishments were relatively light, in this era, officers are much more difficult to train than soldiers, and who will fight for themselves in the future after killing too much, and a tolerance in the face of danger, in exchange for gratitude, is the most priceless treasure.

However, in the disposal of so many people, one person Li Jie is still favoritism, that is, the general Fang Yiai, according to the military law of Damin, he should be beheaded and abandoned in the city, but Li Jie only deprived him of all his titles, exiled to the Rhode Island army to obey orders, and became a prisoner, but he saved his life, and the most important thing is to stay in the army.

It is said that Princess Gao Yang begged to see the King of Min in the Caesarea Palace for more than five days before the trial, but Li Jie never saw her, but after hearing the news, Gao Yang was relieved and went home.

On the last day of September, the Fatimid dynasty of Egypt began to formally declare war on Damin, and the Jewish-made kingdom of Jerusalem seemed to be showing signs of instability.

The news of Egypt's sale of Greek fire to the Eastern Roman Empire caused great indignation within the Arabian Peninsula, and the elders of Mecca even announced the expulsion of Fatima, 50,000 Arab light cavalry, two Roman legions, and 5,000 people of the Iron Army of the former river gathered in Medina, whether it was Egypt or the Kingdom of Jerusalem, if any side was unstable, this army could crush them at the first time!

On October 20, the Fengge Commander Wang Xuance who came from Tianzhu and the Shangzhu State Seat Junmai also arrived in Caesarea, and with him and the two of them came the two trump cards of Damin, the King of Min Tielin and the Guanning Tieqi, these two armies almost rushed from Tianzhu all the way without rest, with these two armies, the front line of Damin was completely stabilized.

In the Caesarea Palace, holding the flag, facing a large chaotic chess game, Li Jie was distressed.

What's next?
