Chapter 885 The Notorious Ji Yi Part 2

"Aladdin, do you know that the Caliph and Baghdad are about to be in trouble?"

In the cabin of the large-scale food-style galley warship "Allah Great", Ji Yi met Bai Siwen who had taken over the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce. He called Bai Siwen "Aladdin", because every generation of Bai family leader, that is, the leader of the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce, called himself "Aladdin". "Aladdin" is an inheritable "trade name".

By the way, using an unchanging "Businessman's Name" passed down from generation to generation was quite popular in ancient China. The same was true for Ji Yi's family. The name of the merchant in the master was "Ji Bai", also known as Dongfang Ji Bai. This "Ji Bai" was Ji Yi's cousin, whose real name was Ji Yun.

"The Caliph has the protection of the Turks and the protection of the true gods, so I don't need to worry about it, a businessman."

In this case, Bai Siwen dared not say it in front of Wu Haogu. Because this is a bit towards the Caliph, he regards himself as the people of the Caliph, not Zhao Ji's people... But Ji Yi is a demon cult, and he will not look down on anyone with the people of the Caliph.

"Since Brother Aladdin talks about business, then let's talk about business, right?" Ji Yi looked at Bai Siwen, "Did you bring me?"

Bai Siwen understood Ji Yi's meaning and nodded stiffly.

"Then let him go with me later..." Ji Yi smiled, "It's just right to teach him some Confucianism along the way. In a few years, he can try the imperial examination."

This is asking for hostages.

"The child asked him to follow Brother Yizhi, but there was no need to teach him." Bai Siwen shook his head and said, "The Bai family members will no longer take the imperial examination in the future."

"What?" Ji Yi was stunned, "Why didn't you take the exam? After so many generations, you might have passed the exam! Aladdin, I heard that your Dalang is a famous child prodigy in Quanzhou."

Bai Siwen looked at Ji Yi, "Brother Yi, the son is still planning to take the path of enlightenment in the imperial examination?"

"That's right!" Ji Yi said, "If the little dog has the talent to make a fuss, ask him to follow the left-ranking route. Otherwise, he would go to the Gezhi Academy and become a Jinshi on the right-ranking in the future...Aladdin, why did you shake your head?"

Aladdin said seriously: "Remember, I think your family is a devout believer in the God of Light. I didn't expect... to learn the empirical and evil teachings of heaven."

Does this matter?

Ji Yi didn't understand it!

Although he was a Manichaeist, he was still a Chinese at heart. His way of thinking was passed down from the Book of Zhou, and he focused on respecting God rather than believing in God. He worshipped God of Light just because he was more "effective" and protected his family from being promoted and wealthy. To be a crazy believer, he was too far apart.

Although the Bai Siwen family has lived in China for many years, their way of thinking is still an orthodox Tianfang scholar. He believes in the True God and believes that the Prophet is the last messenger sent by the True God to the world.

Therefore, the origin of his thoughts is different from Ji Yi. Ji Yi can accept "positivism", "rationalism", "Manichi", "Buddhism", "Taoism", and "Heavenly Principles" at the same time. They burn incense and worship Buddha and fortune-telling to read Feng Shui.

But Bai Siwen could not accept these things. Although he drank wine and ate pork, he would not burn incense, worship Buddha and ask divination, nor would he find a Taoist priest to find a treasure acupoint for his ancestors. For the empirical Confucianism that puts God in "hypothesis", he should use empirical testing and rational inferring it, of course, it is the opposite of the extreme.

This is blasphemous knowledge!

If the doctors from the Hontai Academy had not seemed very good at reasoning, he would have gone to them to reason.

Of course, Bai Siwen is not a crazy believer. If it weren't for the many blasphemous ideas in "Theory of Empirical" and "Theory of Reason", he would have accepted it.

"In Quanzhou, many people have already hated Yuntai Academy!" Bai Siwen looked at Ji Yi and said.

"Is that true?" Ji Yi was a little nervous, "They want to go to Yuntai Academy to find a remark?"

"No," Bai Siwen shook his head, "The Tianfang scholars do not discuss the truth with the blasphemers..."

Yes, a good argument is to question God! If you don’t reason well, you have to say that you will be convinced by virtue... The "sword and shield flow" of the armed doctor is not a joke! And you can’t even make any reason if you are cut off.

Bai Siwen lowered his voice: "But someone will stop our journey west!"

"who?"

"What is the most common name for the Three Buddhas?"

"Pu!"

Ji Yi frowned.

The "Mr." in the Three Buddhas' language can be transliterated as "Pu". Therefore, some Tianfang merchants who traded in the Three Buddhas' business followed the local customs and also called themselves "Pu Moumou", which means Mr. Moumou. When they put their business into China, "Pu" became a surname again.

So in Guangzhou, there are many Tianfang scholars in Quanzhou with the surname Pu. Among them, the most powerful one is Guangzhou Pu Ali (this is also a businessman’s name).

"Dare you dare to go against the court?" Ji Yi's face turned dark, "This is a rebellion!"

"Of course Pu Ali didn't dare," Bai Siwen said, "but the Pu family of Sanfoqi dared... Their family has been operating in Sanfoqi for hundreds of years, so is it so easy to shake?"

In this era, Arab merchants could monopolize the huge profits of East-West trade for a long time, and half of the reason was that they had long-term operations in the Strait of Malacca.

Although the local Three Buddhas Kingdom did not believe in Tianfang Buddhism, but was deeply influenced by Indian civilization, using Sanskrit, and believed in Buddhism and Brahmanism. However, the influence of Tianfang Buddhism merchants in the Straits region cannot be ignored.

"So what if you have been for hundreds of years?" Ji Yi sneered, "This time I brought 15,000 troops, even if the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom said it would be destroyed."

"The Three Buddhas are a great country!" Bai Siwen reminded.

Ji Yi smiled and said, "Then let's take a look!"

...

"To Brother Ping, we're meeting again!"

"Yes, I don't know when I will see you again this time?"

"At one or two years at most, right? On the day of triumphal training, I will definitely go to Lingzhou to welcome you in person."

When Ji Yi's fleet, oh, it should be that the Peace Mission left the Five Islands Islands and then the north wind sailed south. Zhang Yuan also took his army from Jiehe Shang City to Baibo, Luoyang, with his storm.

Wu Haogu, who had been a military envoy for a while, asked Zhao Ji for an order and went to Bai Bo to send Zhang aid.

After a few greetings with Zhang Yuan, Wu Haogu and Zhang Yuan reviewed the escort group of the education group. In fact, they watched thousands of people descend from hundreds of sect boats and a whole team in the open space near Baibo Pier.

The one who commanded the troops to disembark and transport supplies was Ma Zheng, the general army of the Great Education Regiment. Although he had never really commanded the army, as a "military observer", he stayed in the Hushui Department for a long time, and also saw how these Jurchen Gundam beat the Koreans to lose their armor with a total of 5 million.

Since Ma Zheng returned from the Hushui River, he became the deputy Siye of the Knights Academy. At the same time, he was also a hard-core heavy cavalry sect. Among the professors of the Knights Academy, there is now an academic dispute between the "High Cavalry" and the "Long Gun Sect".

The heavy cavalry faction believes that armored cavalry is the core of the army, and they can destroy all enemies, including the phalanx of spearmen. Of course, armored cavalry cannot foolishly collide with the snatchmen in the array.

The long-spike faction believes that the cheap and easy-to-train pikes determine that they can become the key to the victory of war. Even if they are covered by light cavalry, they cannot defeat the huge infantry cluster with the long-spikes as the core, and the swords, shields (or axes, spearmen), crossbowmen and light cavalry...

During this Western Expedition of the Education Corps, both tactical schools sent military opportunities. The one who represented the heavy cavalry was Ma Zheng, and the one who represented the long spear was Wang Jian, who commanded the long spear soldiers in the war with the Western Xia.

Just as Ma Zheng was commanding the troops, Wang Jian had already come to salute Wu Haogu and Zhang.

"It's not bad. In such a short time, I've brought the team out. I'm sure there are generals!"

Wu Haogu praised Wang Jian, but in fact he was not satisfied with the performance of the thousands of mercenary infantry. However, the hundreds of armored cavalry that Ma Zheng was in charge of training were quite good. It looked like the elite hundreds of armored cavalry, of course, they could not compare with the Knights of the Dashi and the Imperial Knights. There were still too few excellent knights, and even Wu Haogu could not produce too many.

These heavy cavalry with Doctor Protector (about 100 people) as the core fights according to the principle of "slow speed, strictness, and impact".

That is, sacrifice speed for strict plastic surgery, and can only carry out gun impact, and cannot engage in single-riding combat or cavalry combat (except for using a crossbow to shoot in one shot).

Hearing Wu Haogu's praise, Wang Jian laughed: "Du Junji, are you harming me? These soldiers have not been trained yet! The main reason is that there are too few young generals and there are no Dragon Warriors as their skeletons... But don't worry, you can still fight after practicing after you arrive in the northwest."

In fact, Wang Jian had no "non-commissioned officers" available. The Dragon and Martyrs were all veterans and miscellaneous martial officials. They were very fierce, had rich combat experience, and could suppress the situation. The soldiers below were afraid of them. Using them as non-commissioned officers and using the same fierce imperial knights as officers, they could naturally "force" the soldiers of the palace.

However, Wang Jian now does not have the Dragon King, nor the experienced Knights, and there is not even the Dashun Knights. He can only rely on the students of the Knight Academy to command. These students are not fierce enough and lack the experience of leading troops, so it is no wonder that the troops are loose.

But this is not a big problem... because the opponent I want to fight this time is not strong, it is just the black Khan Uighur. And the main force is the Hexi Army!

At this time, Ma Zheng also came to salute Wu Haogu. Wu Haogu nodded and returned the salute, and then said to Ma Zheng: "Zhongfu, when you arrive in the northwest, you must pay attention to the black armored cavalry of Gao Xuan and the iron kite of the Hexi Army, and then return it to the Dujun Jima. If you have the chance, observe the Shuofang Army and write a text to the Dujun Jima.
