Guangmingding is not on Kunlun Mountain, but a palace on a huge orange-red rock located in the inland Ceylon Island.

It was rebuilt on the basis of an ancient palace built at some time. It is independent and luxurious.

The shape of the palace is Chinese. On a flat roof of about 30 acres of rock, a series of buildings such as the Hall of Light, the Saint's Bedroom, the Pure Land, and the Pure Land. All buildings are built on the base made of white marble, and there are white white marble railings and carved arches around it. The roofs of the Hall of Light and the Pure Land are covered with golden glazed tiles. From a distance, it looks like the mythical Qiong Palace Fairy Palace.

The master living in this heavenly palace is the current ruler of Ceylon Island, the Manichaeism Saint Queen Molimo.

Mrs. Mo, who is over 50 years old, has taken good care of her body. Her figure is still tall and smooth, and her skin is still as white as milk. She is just a little loose, just like blooming flowers withering. Before she is about to wither, she still strives to show her best side.

This beauty of the Persian race is now wearing a slow-tied Tang suit with a half-exposed breast, naked jade feet, and no shoes and socks. She leans lazyly on a throne made of golden nanmu that only a king can possess.

The imperial throne was placed in the magnificent hall of light. There were also seats on both sides of the hall. Several older men in brocade robes sat down separately. They looked like queen's subjects. Some of them were Han people, some were French people, and some were black people.

In addition to the Manichaeism monarchs and ministers, there were also Mani warriors wearing iron clothes in the hall, guarding the open entrance to the hall, and several ladies of Tang suits of different skins, serving Queen Mo.

In the middle of the hall, a man in white mourning clothes was sitting upright on a scepter, facing Queen Mo, saying in a daze.

"His Majesty... If Manichaeism wants to survive, it can only unite with our dynasty! Although our dynasty is in civil strife and has strong Zhou threats outside, in the South and the West, our dynasty's sea masters and sea merchants still have an absolute advantage. The warships equipped with new artillery are great cannibals, and the warships of the Indians cannot fight against them. As long as the sea masters of our dynasty's sea masters are protected, the Manichaeism's rule in Ceylon can be as stable as Mount Tai! Even if we want to spread Manichaeism to Persia, Tianzhu and Yangzhuozhou (referring to Africa), it will be easy!"

Madam Mo listened carefully, and did not even move the golden ornaments on his head. When the news of Ji Yi's assassination and the division of the Song Dynasty came, Madam Mo and the entire Manichaeus Church were in panic for a moment.

Because the Manichaeism ruled on Ceylon Island was completely achieved with the help of Xingzhou and the Song Dynasty navy.

There are really few orthodox Maniche orthodox people in Mo Niangzi's orthodox Maniches. Even though they have absorbed a group of Sinicized Maniches (in fact, Mo Niangzi is also very Sinicized), the number is still not large. It is simply not enough to defeat the Sinhalese and Tamils ​​to become the lord of Ceylon.

Therefore, the success of Mo Niangzi and Manichaeism in Ceylon was actually the reformists of the Song Dynasty and the Marine Merchants Group in Xingzhou. They needed a mixed-blood force that could rule Ceylon for them.

If the support of the Song Dynasty and Xingzhou is lost, with the strength of Manichaeism, it will not take long to be defeated under the attack of the Zhunian Kingdom... At that time, it will not be the six major sects who will be besieged Guangmingding, but the Eight-Nation Alliance will besieged Guangmingding.

But just as the kingdom of Zhunian was about to move, and the Sinhalese and Tamil nobles inside Ceylon also tried to restore the country. A 10 "Xingzhou"-class (also known as Starship) gallery warships drove to the Song Dynasty concession in Gaolangbu (Colombo), and brought Ji Yi's legitimate son Ji Yun in mourning clothes, who is now sitting opposite Mo Niangzi.

Xingzhou-class sailing warship is a warship specially used for the equatorial windless belt. The Sanfoqi Strait is located in the equatorial windless belt. Most of the time the strait is calm and the wind is very small. Ordinary sailing ships can only pass through the strait at extremely slow speeds. It doesn’t matter whether merchant ships are, but warships need high speeds.

Therefore, the Navy of Song, who has always attached importance to galleys and sailboats, developed a galley gunboat based on the "truth" type, that is, the "Sing Chew" class, or starship.

The 10 Xingzhou-class ships are nothing to be placed on the coast of China or on the Eastern Ocean, and they are nothing to be seen in the Southern Ocean, but they are amazing in the Western Ocean.

It is definitely a force that can intimidate the Indians and the great cannibals!

After all, artillery technology has not yet spread outside the Chinese civilization circle. Therefore, the Tianzhu warships, which use cold weapons and impact tactics, are not the opponents of Xingzhou-class gunboats at all.

Moreover, with these 10 Xingzhou-level ranks coming together, there is also news of the ceasefire of the Song and Zhou dynasties.

Originally, the Song Dynasty's maritime power in the South China Sea was restrained by the Zhou fleet in the South China Sea, and he could not spare his hands to go to the West to scatter wildly.

Now that they are not fighting, do the monsters and monsters in the West dare to be honest?

But Madam Mo sighed: "I didn't expect him to go like this... Without Ji Wenzhong Gong in the Central Committee of the Song Dynasty, we Manichaeism would have no strong support anymore, right?"

"Don't worry, your Majesty, although my father passed away, the Song Dynasty court still needed Manichaeism." Ji Yun replied, "Because the Confucian Taoist tradition is not very popular in the West, if you want to govern the hearts of Western people, you still have to practice the method of unity of Confucianism. Therefore, the Saint can still be supported by the Song Dynasty court in the Holy See at the top of the Light."

It is actually difficult to last until the expansion of force is only possible. For example, after the successful expansion of the Mongol Empire in history, it was assimilated or overthrown by the conquered nations because it did not have powerful ideological weapons.

The expansion of the Tianfang Sect and Christian camp is a sword and a scripture.

Since Wu Haogu founded the Yuntai Academy, Confucian civilization has also realized this and has begun to build its own ideological weapons.

But like all ideological changes and religious reforms, Confucian changes will also produce branches - there is no way!

If a thought wants to remain consistent forever, it must remain unchanged!

Once changes are made, branches will be generated. And the greater the change, the greater the differences.

Therefore, the drastic changes brought to Confucianism by Wu Haogu will naturally lead to several major branches.

The empirical school, the rational school, the Tianli Buddhism, and Neo-Confucianism are all the products of the radical changes in Confucianism.

In the Western direction, Manichaeism, the "versatile" (which can integrate almost all religious thoughts) has now been linked to the changing Confucianism, and has derived the Manichaeism school of Guangmingding.

The main theory of the Maniac school is to describe the laws of nature as light, and to describe the desires of humans that are opposite to the laws of nature as darkness - to preserve the laws of heaven, to destroy human desires, to preserve the light and destroy the darkness.

It's pretty smooth!

Of course, the so-called "human desire" does not refer to instinctive needs, but to the need for extravagant desires - this is the dark demon king seducing people's hearts!

Don’t underestimate Madam Mo’s explanation!

Her theory has made the evolution of religiousization of Confucianism finally perfect.

Not only was it used by the Maniac School of Catechism, but it also influenced the Tianli Buddhism - the Tianli Buddhism that was separated from learning to teaching was an enemy.

Only the laws of nature, but not natural enemies!

Therefore, the thoughts that disobey the laws of nature in people's hearts become the demon of the laws of nature and the evil betrayer of the laws of nature... Of course, unlike the various religions of the Apocalypse, this kind of evil is not created by the laws of nature to test human beings, but the manifestation of the evil nature of human nature!

In order to create an enemy, the Tianli Cult found Xun Qing's theory - but this also has the meaning of original sin of Christianity.

Manichaeism does not believe that human nature is evil, but believes that there is a law of nature (light) and there is a demon (darkness). Evil is a demon that causes people to commit crimes.

And fighting against evil people is to defend the laws of nature...

In short, under the changes of Mo Niangzi, the products of the combination of Confucianism and Manichaeism have extremely strong combat effectiveness!

It also became a nail in the eyes of the Tianfang Sect and Brahmin Sect.

Madam Mo nodded, "Since the Song Dynasty can still support the Maniac, the Holy See will send an envoy to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty court.

In addition, there are still some disputes between the Holy See and Xixia. I hope that the Song Dynasty court can issue an edict to mediate so that the Manichae priests can spread the doctrine of light on the land of Xixia."

...

Xijing, Xijing, Gaofu.

Gaofu is taken from the name of "Han Shu". In Xinde, it is called Kabul, which means the trade center.

Unlike later generations who knew Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul in the twelfth century was a very beautiful and prosperous city.

Probably one of the best places in the world!

The city full of Tianfang Buddhism style is very beautiful, with beautiful buildings everywhere, the streets are clean and tidy, and the residents are also hospitality. Of course, there are no self-destructors.

The reason for Kabul's wealth is the nearby Indian country. India is an ancient country with a wealthy civilization comparable to China, and it is huge and can provide enough wealth for the people who conquered it to squander it.

But India is very hot, which makes it unbearable for foreign conquerors. So after they seize enough wealth in India, they often return to the cool Afghan plateau to find suitable residences.

Kabul is their ideal destination, which can not only enjoy the Tiger-style Xindu River Basin, but also enjoy life in a cool and comfortable city.

Therefore, the wealth of India continued to flow into Kabul for a long time.

For the latest conquerors of the West Xia Han people (Zhao Qianshun was a Han person certified by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty), after Lahar endured the heat for a period of time, Kabul was also regarded as their main residence.

And he also found a Han-style name from "Book of Han" - Gaofu.

At present, Gaofucheng ushered in the same time from the Western Song Dynasty and the Eastern Song Dynasty.

The two brothers Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun are facing an extremely difficult choice, whether to surrender to the Eastern Song Dynasty or to the Western Song Dynasty?
