From Peach Blossom Island to Putuo Mountain, there are dozens of miles of waterway, because it is night, the boat is slow, and it takes a few hours to send Yang Po'er to Putuo Mountain. When the mother-in-law arrived at the Guanyin Nunnery where Yang Miaozhen, the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty, was staying, the Empress Dowager had already gotten up. I was eating breakfast in the courtyard while watching monks and nuns practice martial arts.

The nun sat on a bed with a beard, and there were a few snacks on the table in front of her, a bowl of rice porridge, and four steamed buns with meat - of course the old nun ate meat, otherwise where would she have the strength to play with a spear! And the old nun has loved meat since she was a child, who dares not let her eat it now? Beware of being destroyed!

The old nun held a steamed bun in her hand, and while gnawing on it, she watched intently as a few proud disciples played with pear flower spears, and from time to time she opened her mouth to give a few words. There was also a fat monk with a meaty face standing beside him, who was the Master Yongxin who was speechless when he refuted the Nine Lights Monk during yesterday's debate.

The big monk was holding his arms, and he was also watching his thirty-six stick monks dancing with iron rods, and his fat face was also triumphant. The great monk himself was born in the Luohan Hall and was once one of the thirty-six stick monks. In the past, he often followed the master (former abbot) out of Shaolin to argue with people, but now it is his turn to be beautiful, and he has also married a queen mother!

This Shaolin Temple seems to be about to prosper in his hands.

At this time, an elderly nun (the original nun of Guanyin Nunnery) walked in with a sad face, looked at the nun who was dancing with a gun and a stick, and smelled a burst of meat fragrance, and her face was almost crying - the apprentices of the old nuns who destroyed the door all ate meat, and as for the great monk Yongxin and his stick monk, although they claimed to be vegetarians. But if you look at their size, if you look at their muscles, they don't look like they're going to be vegetarians.

"The Queen Mother's ......" The nuns of Guanyin Nunnery knelt down in front of the master of the sect. respectfully reported, "There is a female benefactor outside who claims to be Yang Mingxia. Say it's your disciple. ”

"Mingxia is here...... Please let her in. The old nun waved his hand and asked the original host of Guanyin Nunnery to bring Yang Po'er in, and instructed one of his own disciples to fetch some meat cakes and prepare Yang Po'er for breakfast.

After a while, Yang Po'er walked in alone, and bowed in front of the old nun who destroyed the door.

"Get up, get up," the old nun waved her hand, "haven't you had breakfast?" Eat a little bit together. It's your favorite meat bun. ”

"Master Xie." Mrs. Yang said obediently.

"The surname Chen asked you to come? I thought he would come in person. ”

The old nun seemed a little dissatisfied. Chen Dexing is her junior, but he didn't pay much attention to her in Penglai Port, and he didn't let her and the people she brought on the Thunderbolt. Now he refuses to come to worship in person, obviously he doesn't take her seriously.

Yang Po'er smiled: "Master, King Ming has heard of your prestige in Liaodong, so he is afraid and does not dare to come lightly." ”

"Afraid that I will kill him?" The old nun snorted, "Isn't this kid a god?" Isn't it invulnerable? Why are you still afraid of me, an old lady in her seventies? ”

"King Ming is a mortal immortal," Yang Po'er said in a chiseled manner. "His soul is the reincarnation of a god. But the body is the same as a mortal, and you can't help your old pear flower gun. ”

The old nun was stunned, her brows furrowed, and she looked at Yang Po'er: "You really believe it!" ”

Yang Po'er nodded. Said: "I really believe! King Ming is really not a mortal! ”

"You believe it, Xian'er also believes it......" The old nun's brows tightened more and more. Who are Yang Po'er and Li Cuixian, and how is she not clear? Those are all foxes who have become fine, and they are not easy to deceive! Now they all believe that Chen Dexing is the reincarnation of the gods......

"And how is he going to win the argument?" The old nun pointed to the fat monk beside her. "You won't bring a stick monk to the same stage as the great monk of Yongxin, right?"

The great monk didn't seem to hear it, and his face didn't change at all - what's wrong with a monk with a stick? There's a lot of nonsense about dialectics! Where is the real reasoning? If that Basipa doesn't have the support of the Mongols, can he talk about Yin Zhiping? Why don't you tell him to try it again?

"King Ming has prepared two props. It's called a globe and an astronomical telescope. Yang Po'er didn't hide it. The old lady will soon find out about this. And there was no need to hide it, because the old nun would not care about it at all.

"And a lot of gunboats, right?" The old nun smiled.

"Twenty of them!" Yang Po'er replied.

When the great monk heard this, he sincerely admired it in his heart. No wonder they are living immortals! He brought thirty-six stick monks with his own arguments, but they brought twenty gunboats! That's not what he said!

"But you can't say that you want to bombard Putuo Mountain?" Extinction Old Nin asked.

"I won't say it." Yang Po'er said with a smile, "King Ming said that if the Southern Song Dynasty dared to go north and spoil the good things of the Tang Dynasty, he would wave his army into Lin'an." ”

The old nun smiled, "That's pretty much it...... It's just that if my Datang defeats Mongolia, what will happen to his Daming? ”

"Daming is naturally the land of Yanyun." Yang Po'er said lightly. This is indeed Chen Dexing's plan, and there is no need to hide it from the old nun. Because Chen Dexing had built a city in Tanggu, it was already clear that he was going to swallow the north of the Haihe River - only by obtaining the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun could he obtain a large enough Han Chinese population to support his conquest of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Monan, and Mobei.

Of course, this plan was only one of many military expansion plans drawn up by Tran's chief of staff. The premise is that the Eastern Tang Dynasty quickly defeated the Western Yuan and controlled most of the northern Han land. In this way, Beiming can only take the trend of the Khitan in the past. According to the sixteen states of Yanyun, they will make plans again.

"A big Liao situation can still be given to him," the old nun pondered, "but he can't sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" He had to sweep the grasslands of Liaoxi and Monan and take Kaiping City. ”

Although Kublai Khan has now lost control of the Mongol Western Kingdoms - after he killed Ali Buge, the Western kings regarded him as a rebellion against the Golden Family, and even Hulegu blamed him for being too ruthless. However, the central Ulus of Mongolia and the four kings of the host who were threatened by Chen Dexing still followed Kublai Khan. The Central Ulus had no less than 100,000 troops, and although Tachar, one of the four kings of the host, was wounded, the other three kings still maintained their strength. The total number of available soldiers of the four kings was not less than 100,000. Coupled with the Han army and the Semu army on Kublai Khan's side, the total strength is still more than 300,000! far more than Li Pu's army of more than 100,000.

Therefore, if Li Pu wanted to fight Kublai Khan, he must first gain the support of more Han marquis and Southern Song feudal towns. At the same time, Chen Dexing was also needed to contain the power of the four kings of the Mongol host and a part of the central Ulus of Mongolia.

"The apprentice can tell the king." Yang Po'er can't be such a big master, she is just a mouthpiece.

The old nun stood up and said with a smile: "That's it, as long as he agrees, I guarantee that the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism masters of the Tang Dynasty will not embarrass him." You go and sue him...... Next year at the latest, Tang Yuan will have a decisive battle in the Central Plains! If the Mandate of Heaven is in Tang, let Chen Ming and Wang An'an stay in Liaodong. If the Mandate of Heaven is not in Tang...... Then it depends on the ability of King Ming! This Han family in the world always has to be revived! ”

As she spoke, she beckoned to Yang Po'er, "Mingxia, let's play with the teacher, let the teacher see if your pear flower gun has regressed?" ”

……

When Yang Po'er and the old nun played with big guns, Chen Dexing stayed on Peach Blossom Island, keeping an eye on the expansion project of the military camp and the water village. He planned to make it an important military base.

The harbor of Taohua Island is much larger than that of Putuo Mountain, and it can not only accommodate the 20 gunboats of the North and South Ocean Fleet and the dozens of lucky ships that carry troops with them. Now it has become a scheduled anchorage for the ships of the missions of Goryeo, Japan, Annam, Khmer and other countries.

For Chen Dexing, this dialectical conference is not just a forum to show the truth of Tiandaoism. It is also a stage for international diplomacy in Greater East Asia. It is different from the long-standing international relations of Europe and West Asia. Greater East Asia at this time was a semi-isolated circle of civilizations. There are very few formal exchanges between countries, let alone the exchange of envoys.

Among these isolated and semi-isolated civilization circles, the largest is undoubtedly the continental civilization circle composed of the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. Annam, Japan, and Dali, which had just been restored not long ago, are also considered to be the periphery of this civilization, but they are self-contained. In addition, the southern countries of Khmer, Sriwijaya and Java are another circle, and there are almost no official exchanges with the mainland. It was the Northern Ming Dynasty, which established the Nanyang Fleet, and now it has not officially entered the Nanfan. It was only active along the coast of Annam, Cham (which had already been wiped out by the Khmer).

Similar to the problems he faced in Japan, Chen Dexing now also had no spare strength to conquer the southern countries. This was not only because of his lack of troops, but also because of the malaria epidemic in Nanfan, where there was almost no cure. Moreover, the hot climate in the south is not something that Chen Dexing's northern army can adapt to.

Therefore, the conquest of Nanfan could only start with religion and trade, then the cooler colonies near the sea, and then the encroachment until they were all annexed......

As for the ideological work of the indigenous envoys of the southern countries, Chen Dexing's method is also very simple, directly pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, using miracles to deter, and then flickering into the Heavenly Taoism. Then, with their help, they spread the Heavenly Taoism to the south - in fact, the Heavenly Taoism has always been divided into superstition and science.

The superstitious side is to use miracles to deter, and then worship the Taiyi God and the incarnation of the Ming King, believing that the Elysium and the ascension to heaven are very simple and easy to spread. On the scientific side, the theories of Scientology are combined with the knowledge impartation and research discoveries of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Perhaps at some point in the future, it is not certain that the Heavenly Dao Church will be divided into two.

But Chen Dexing didn't care about these at this time. Because he knows very well that all the ideas he has put forward now, and all the political and military systems he has formulated, are rudimentary, and they are all upgraded versions of the existence of zài, not the ultimate version of "the immutability of the laws of the ancestors".
