"God the Father God bless us! God the Father God bless us"
On a hillside outside Ya'er Tower City, the golden soldiers standing in layers gave out high and pious cheers. Standing high on the hillside, Wanyan Xiabao, oh, it should be John Vasilius 31, finally showed a satisfied smile.
He is now preaching and preaching to the tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers who are about to embark on the journey, spreading the teachings of God, the Heavenly Father, and the teachings of Heavenly Brother Jesus.
Those who need to worship God now are not the few big figures of the "Golden John Family", but all the Jurchens who followed their Western Expedition to Crimea.
So Wanyan Xiebao had to explain God's principles clearly to everyone.
Of course, he would not recognize his heavenly brother Jesus as his eldest brother, which would mess up the generational hierarchy! Jesus is of the same generation as his ancestors from thousands of years ago, how could he be his eldest brother? Besides, his eldest brother was stabbed to death by Zhao Kai.
Wanyan Xiebao would not do any tricks like God possessing him or Jesus descending to earth. He started making up stories after studying the game rules of the God-Worshipping Church in the west. He couldn't make up stories or else he would be banned by the God-Worshiping Church in the west.
Wanyan Xiebao positioned himself only as the Golden Sage, the first of the three sages in the East. He was the descendant of Priest John, the sage who gave gold to the Virgin Mary - because it was found that tiger water contained gold. Mine produces gold. Moreover, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiebao always claimed to belong to the "Golden Family" during the Western Expedition. Therefore, after studying and discussing with Wanyan Zongxian, Wanyan Xiyinhe and several other Nestorian monks who followed from Central Asia, the "Golden Sage" among the three sages was chosen as the ancestor. He also gave his ancestor a nickname, "Golden John."
The three wise men from the East and Prester John who appear in the Bible are combined with the universal church in Rome. This legend of Prester John does not exist from ancient times, but appeared in 1122, almost eighteen years ago. It was the peak period of the Crusades, and the universal church was trying its best to encourage European Christian knights to join the Crusades to fight against the Saracens and Turks. At this time, Christians from the Indian Christian city-state of Quilon came to Rome for travel and pilgrimage.
He visited the then Pope Callistus and talked about a powerful monarch in the East who believed in Christianity, namely Prester John. Perhaps there was no such Indian Christian at all, but the Pope himself in order to encourage European Christian knights. Joining the army in the Eastern Expedition made up this legend.
Anyway, the legend about Prester John soon spread throughout Western Europe, and greatly inspired the religious enthusiasm of European Christian knights.
And a few years ago, because of the Western Tang Expedition, the Tianfang Sect in Central Asia was severely beaten, and when the news spread to Europe, it somehow turned into Priest John's Western Expedition? The Holy See of Rome and the Eastern Orthodox Church in Constantinople immediately became excited again, spreading the word that Priest John would soon raid Baghdad, the home base of the Tianfang Sect.
In fact, I almost copied it, but Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiebao discovered that Dashi Guozheng was competing with the Song Dynasty (Southern Song Dynasty) in Nanyang and the West. The enemy of this enemy is a friend! So I stopped going to Baghdad and asked for money instead.
Sultan Sanjar also learned that Dajin was the enemy of the Peach Blossom Stone People (who could not tell the difference between the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty), and felt that he could not defeat them, so he was unwilling to start a war rashly, but instead rewarded the gold people on behalf of the Caliph. A large sum of money in recognition of their bravery in fighting the Peach Blossom Stone Man
In short, Wanyan Xiebao and his group, apart from not worshiping God before, can still compete with Priest John, promoted by the Western God-worshiping Church, in other aspects.
And even if you didn’t worship God before, you can do it now!
There is no priority in worshiping God, as long as you are pious enough!
And Wanyan Xiebao led two to three hundred thousand people to be baptized into the church. Is there anyone more pious than this?
Grandpa God will definitely be very happy to see you in heaven!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Xiabao opened his throat again and announced loudly, "The Heavenly Father and the Emperor have said that all the people in the world are the children of his old man. Anyone who joins the God-worshipping cult is a good brother who invaded King's Castle." , we share the blessings and share the hardships!”
Wanyan Xiebao's words were quickly passed down from the top of the mountain by loud speakers, section by section, and soon everyone could hear them.
It turns out that this Heavenly Father Emperor is still a god of loyalty. It seems that you are right to believe in him!
So everyone cheered again, "Believe in God and enter the castle."
Amidst the cheers, Wanyan Xiebao took a white flag from a Nestorian priest beside him, which was hung on a spear and embroidered with a golden cross. He waved it vigorously a few times and pointed at the sea. .
Everyone became quiet again and looked up at Wanyan Xiebao.
Wanyan Xiebao said loudly, "My sons, please take a walk in the sea and let the sea wash away the sins you have committed in the past. The murders and arson you committed in the past will be washed away. You are the good children of our Heavenly Father!”
This is baptism!
These people standing on the hillside are all gold thieves! This "thief" is not called for nothing. Who has not committed the crime of murder, arson and robbery? If you have committed so many sins, you will most likely go to hell after death. Now that the Heavenly Father and the Emperor have said that it will be fine, it will be fine. Of course, everyone is happy with such a good thing.
God the Father is so kind today. Not only does he show loyalty, but he also helps everyone clean up. If you don’t believe in such a good god, who else do you want to believe?
So everyone was led by their respective meng Anmooke, cheering and queuing up to go to the beach of Ya'er Tower Castle.
Wanyan Xiebao looked at the cheering crowd, nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Master Nicholas, the envoy sent by the Master of the Church of God in Kingsborough, and said, "Master Nicholas, did you see it? Fifty thousand Soldiers! With this baptism, we are all brothers who worship the Church of God!
In addition, Gujia can also help the Nestorian Church in the Eastern Tang Dynasty return to the banner of the Lord Worshiping Church in Kingsborough! Now your God-worshipping church in Kingsburg should be able to compete with the God-worshipping church in Rome, right? "
His words were translated into Greek, a common language in Eastern Rome, by a Nestorian monk who was proficient in Khitan and Greek.
This tall and thin Greek, wearing a black robe and a white hat, was obviously very satisfied with being able to bring the Eastern Assyrian Church back to the Orthodox Church.
And he also knows the vastness and wealth of "Peach Blossom Stone"!
Although it is difficult for Eastern Orthodox Christianity to become the state religion of Taohuashi in the short term, there is always an opportunity as long as it can be preached.
Thinking of this, the Nicholas Archbishop said to Wanyan Xiebao, "Dear His Highness John Vasilius 31st, now you are a believer recognized by the Church of Constantinople as long as you can pass The judgment of divine will, and is willing to protect Rome and its people, the Orthodox Church, and the place where the Holy Tomb of Jesus is located. Then His Highness the Patriarch is willing to crown you in Hagia Sophia!"
His words were translated into Khitan, but Wanyan Xiebao didn't seem to understand, so he asked again, "Master, what is the judgment of divine will?"
His question was translated into Greek again. After listening to it, Archbishop Nicholas only showed a faint smile on his pale face. "War! War is the judgment of God! Because the victory or defeat of war is determined by the will of God!" It is decided by God. As long as you can defeat the Comnenus Dynasty in the war and are willing to fulfill your responsibilities to Rome on behalf of the Comnenus Dynasty, then it means that God is on your side. The Orthodox Church will of course recognize you as a Roman. Caesar!”
In fact, the official title of the Eastern Roman emperor was not Caesar, but "Impadora" (meaning general) and "Augustus". "Caesar" is generally awarded to the deputy emperor and is also the title of the Holy Roman Emperor.
The Nicholas Archbishop only agreed to grant Caesar to Wanyan Xiebao who had passed the "Divine Judgment", which showed that in the eyes of him and the Eastern Orthodox Church, Xiebao, the priest king of the Golden Family, was just the same as the Germanic barbarians. , is not worthy to be Impadola and Augustus, can only be Caesar.
However, Wanyan Xiebao doesn’t quite understand these titles in the West, and he doesn’t care whether he is Impadora, Augustus or Caesar, as long as he is the biggest boss in Rome and can get the support of the God-Worship Church in Kingsport. .
With the support of the church, not only can the territory on both sides of Kingsburg and the Black Sea Strait be firmly controlled, but the territory of Crimea can also be controlled. The eighteen princes of Rakshasa and the Alan Kingdom can also continue to be his golden dynasty. The national fortune of the vassal Daijin has been recharged.
Thinking of this, Wanyan Xiebao laughed and replied, "Master, don't worry, isn't it just about fighting? The lonely king can fight all the way from thousands of miles away, so of course he is not afraid of fighting, and the lonely king also has a weapon to defeat the enemy - hot pot !”
His words were again translated into Greek.
"Pot?" Master Nicholas was confused and looked at the Nestorian priest blankly.
The Nestorian priest just smiled and said, "Bishop, it's a pot! But it's not a pot used for cooking, but a pot used to destroy city walls and battleships!"
Is there such a pot? Nicholas ** said in his heart: How can this pot destroy city walls and battleships? How big is this pot?
When he was thinking of this, three thunders suddenly sounded in his ears!
It's thundering? He subconsciously raised his head and saw that the sky was fine, the sky was clear!
How is this going? Why is it thundering when the weather is fine?
Before he even asked the question, Wanyan Xiebao gave the answer first, "The pot rang three times! It seems like the enemy is coming from the sea again!"
It turns out that this is an early warning cannon!
It came from the direction of Yan'er Village. There is a lookout post on Yan'er Village, and it is also equipped with extremely valuable telescopes. On a clear day, the invading enemy fleet can be seen from a distance.
