The monthly pass is so powerful, Rollo continues to beg!

For example, today, the chief scoops of the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties are all emperors, among which the Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan has a big sweat. In contrast, Chen Dexing, the king of Ming, is indeed a little unclassy.

It's just a king, and it's a religious title—in fact, it's what the Heavenly Dao Sect leader means. And the head of the Uszang, the head of the Sakya Dharma King Phags-pa, is of the same rank. In the eyes of the Chinese, it seems to be one level smaller than the emperors of the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties.

Before the Battle of Yanyun, the really decent territory in Chen Dexing's hands was Liaodong, with a population of only more than 800,000. It is indeed the smallest among the four kingdoms of the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and it is about the same as the great lama of Basipa - there are 130,000 households of the great lamas, and the population is estimated to be more than one million. Therefore, it is just right for Chen Dexing to be a king, and when he is an emperor, he has the feeling of being crowned by a monkey.

But now, counting the Zhending Road, Shunde Road, Guangping Road and half of the Daming Road abandoned by Kublai Khan, Chen Dexing has already grasped the land of seven and a half roads (and half a road is better, that is the eighth road) in the north of Yanyun River and Liaodong, Liaoxi, Taiwan, Zhoushan, and the coastal islands of the Korean Peninsula.

Moreover, after the migration of the four kings of the Mongol host province, there was a power vacuum in central Liao, northern Liao, and eastern Mongolia. As long as Chen Dexing frees his hands, he will soon be able to bring all these sites into the territory of Daming.

In this way, the population of the Ming Dynasty will definitely reach more than three million, which is comparable to that of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. The land is more than the Southern Song Dynasty and the Eastern Tang Dynasty combined. If you cheekily make a map to open up the territory and include the Mingzhou continent, then even Mongolia is not as big as the Ming Dynasty.

With such a large territory, such a "large" population (what a pitiful. You can draw half of the world on the map, but the population is only a little as that of a third-tier city in later generations). Moreover, the Ming army also crushed the Mongol army led by Kublai Khan himself in the Battle of the Daqing River. continues to show strong combat effectiveness. It is pointless to want to hold the tail and do something to build a high city, accumulate grain, and slow down the king.

Because everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty is the most promising to fight its way out of this four-nation war. A powerful country that becomes the lord of the world.

Since no matter how much you disguise, you can't paralyze the enemy, so just don't pretend and officially play the banner and become the emperor! This can also boost morale to some extent - Chen Dexing became the emperor, and the followers below naturally rose.

Therefore, Zhao Fu's words are likely to represent the voice of everyone. Chen Dexing remained silent, his gaze slowly swept across the hall, and everyone's expressions were in his eyes. All the courtiers stretched their necks and their eyes lit up!

As for the women, they have different expressions. Li Cuixian and Yang Po'er were full of anticipation. Both of these are women who do big things, so they are never ambiguous when it comes to big things. Since she is Chen Dexing's woman, she must plan for Chen Dexing wholeheartedly, so that she can have the capital to settle down. Although they are all scheming women, they can be trusted and share their fate.

But Zhao Lin'er had a complicated expression. This good Lori is now not only a wife, but also upgraded to become a mother, and gave birth to a son for Chen Dexing, whose name has not yet been given, so he will be called Chen Erlang for the time being. Maybe it's because I'm getting older. His mind also began to be complicated, knowing that once Chen Dexing became the emperor, he would not share the sky with the Great Song Dynasty!

(The survival rate of infants and young children of the Song people was not high, so they were not famous when they were too young.) Wait until the older ones are more reliable before giving a big name, of course, the prince and the prince who have determined the inheritance right after being born must have a name. ）

Baoyin and Cui Yue'er also gave birth to children, and Baoyin gave birth to a daughter. Naturally, she is called Second Sister Chen. Cui Yue'er also gave birth to a daughter, called Sister Chen. Count Chen Changan. Chen Dexing now has two sons and two daughters. The two of them are also very happy that Chen Dexing will be crowned emperor, once Chen Dexing is crowned emperor. They are concubines.

To Chen Dexing's surprise, Guo Fuer's brows furrowed, and she seemed to be a little apprehensive...... It seems that he is worried about whether he can become the queen mother!

Now, although Chen Dexing is called King Ming, he does not respect Guo Fu'er as the queen mother - in fact, this is because King Ming is a religious title, and like the Pope of Rome, of course there will be no title of Queen Mother of the Holy See.

When Chen Dexing's gaze was withdrawn, his expression was already stern, and he said in a solemn tone: "Mr. Jiang Han is right, King Gu is a little younger than Kublai Khan, Li Pu, and Zhao Yu...... This emperor must be called! ”

"Hooray!"

The civil and military generals below immediately cheered.

Chen Dexing raised his hand, waved it slightly, stopped the cheers, and said in a deep voice: "But this emperor is not going to be right now!" Instead, it is necessary to first secure the country, then be supported by all the people, and then worship the Taiyi God, in order to be called the emperor. ”

Hearing Chen Dexing's words, Zhao Fu's brows furrowed, but Mo Yingniang's somewhat cold beauty face showed a surprised expression.

Because Chen Dexing mentioned "Shangyu Taiyi God". This is the way of divine monarchy! It is not the Confucian way of sacrificing heaven and earth...... This is to completely deprive Confucianism of the power to support the emperor and represent the heavens, which has always been controlled by Confucianism, and to grant it to the Heavenly Taoism Sect - this is tantamount to depriving Confucianism of its religious rights, and turning Confucianism into a political and philosophical school without any religious function.

In the future, if the Ming Dynasty really unifies the world, then Confucianism will lose their altar!

Chen Dexing smiled apologetically at Zhao Fu, and it was his consistent policy to pull Confucianism down from the altar. It's not that he hates Confucianism, but that Confucianism has never been a religion, so he can't afford religious missions at all. Moreover, the Confucian principle of respecting ghosts and gods and staying away from them, and worshipping saints instead of gods and ghosts, hindered the evolution of Confucianism into a true religion.

Since Confucianism is not a true religion, it is somewhat inclusive of all religions. In later generations, even after Confucius, there were converts to the true God and Christ...... Therefore, letting Confucianism stay on the altar can only delay things.

Without a strong religious organization, Chinese who believe in Confucian ancestor worship can only be united by clan kinship, and it is difficult to achieve greater unity across clans—in contrast, people in most parts of the ancient world were united under the banner of religion, thus crossing clans.

This is also an important reason why Chinese are very easy to be bullied by others when they leave their homeland and go out - the possibility of an entire clan leaving their homeland to cross the sea together is very small, if not rare, and it is often an individual and family unit of immigrants.

After arriving overseas, Chinese from different regions and different clans cannot be united. And their opponents, whether they are Westerners with strong scientific and military power, or indigenous peoples, who are very economically and culturally backward, have strong religious beliefs. Therefore, overseas, especially in Nanyang, the Chinese are one family and one surname, at most one gang against one sect!

No matter how good, diligent, and brave these Chinese are, they will never be able to win in this kind of confrontation.

So the Chinese, who were probably the largest ethnic group in Southeast Asia, only established a small state, Singapore, in later generations......

And a large number of Southeast Asian Chinese have been slowly assimilated and fused by the natives of the South Seas countries with strong assimilation!

Now, Chen Dexing has personally opened the era of great navigation, and in the conceivable future, there will inevitably be a large number of Chinese going out of their homeland to explore overseas. Without a strong sect to unite them into a rope, there is a good chance that in the distant future, these overseas Chinese will repeat the mistakes of another time and space, and be merged by other races with strong religious beliefs. Thus becoming the nourishment for the development and growth of other races!

And with a powerful Tiandao Sect supported by the Ming Empire, there would be no other powerful religion that could exist in the important overseas territories of the Ming Empire.

This is because Tiandaoism is a monotheistic religion with strong exclusivity - even if the theoretical system of Tiandaoism in terms of religion is far from mature, this sect can achieve exclusivity with the help of the status of the Ming State Religion. Just like now, the spread of other monotheistic religions is forbidden in the Northern Ming Dynasty!

This theistic religion is so unreasonable!

Chen Dexing continued to say eloquently: "Now our Ming Dynasty is not actually a country, not only because there is no emperor, but also because all kinds of laws have not been determined. First of all, there is no fundamental law that can be the basis of a nation, and there is no supreme council that can assist the king in formulating the law and the laws of the lonely......"

Religion is religion, and 政zhì is political zhì. Although the two influence each other and rely on each other, they must not be one.

Therefore, the Tiandao god stick cannot replace the aristocratic parliamentarians, and the Confucian Qing Council cannot replace the parliament either—the use of Shilin Qing Yi to play a similar role to the parliament and supervise the establishment is a characteristic of traditional Chinese politics. However, this kind of clean discussion is often irresponsible and only seeks the correctness of the government, and the selection of Shilin leaders is also problematic, not based on votes and public opinion, but on the promotion and praise of Shilin bigwigs.

"Secondly, the people of the Ming Dynasty have not yet been stabilized, and the place has not yet been consolidated."

Chen Dexing paused for a moment and said in a solemn tone: "There are hundreds of thousands of displaced people gathered in Yanjing now, and it is inevitable that there will be no less than one million displaced people in Hebei who have no food and clothing. If they can't be arranged, our Ming Dynasty will have a country but no people!

Moreover, the foundation of my Ming Dynasty in Hebei has not been established, and the wealthy clan of Hebei and us will be separated. It takes a large number of transfer of the knights and canonized the gentry in order to have our strength in the local area and control the wealthy families of Hebei.

Then the local aristocratic council was opened, the magistrate was elected, and the government was established. In this way, we can truly grasp the land of Hebei, and only then can we be regarded as turning more than one million people in Hebei into the citizens of our Ming Dynasty.

With the people, the land, the parliament, and the law, the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a country. Supported by the parliament and blessed by the Taiyi God, the emperor of the lonely king deserves to be justified! (To be continued......)
