There are dozens of miles of water from Taohua Island to Putuo Mountain. Because it was a slower day at night, the boat was going to take several hours to take Yang Po'er to Putuo Mountain. When Po'er arrived at the Guanyin Temple where the Empress Dowager Yang Miaozhen was staying in the Tang Dynasty, the Empress Dowager had already gotten up. She was having breakfast in the yard while watching the monks and nuns practice martial arts.

The nun sat on a beard bed, with a few snacks on a table in front of him, a bowl of rice porridge, and four steamed buns with meat. Of course, the old nun ate meat, or else she would have the strength to play a spear! Moreover, the old nun has loved eating meat since she was a child, so who dares not let her eat it now? Be careful of being wiped out!

The old nun was holding a steamed bun in her hand, and while gnawing, she concentrated on watching several proud disciples playing with pear blossom guns, and she also spoke a few words from time to time. Beside him, there was a fat monk with a fat face standing, which was Master Yongxin who refuted the monk Jiudeng during the debate yesterday.

The monk hugged his arms and was also watching his thirty-six-stick monk dancing with iron rods, and his fat face was full of pride. The monk himself was from the Arhat Hall and was once one of the thirty-six-stick monks. In the past, he often went out to Shaolin to argue with others. Now it is his turn to be glorious, and he has also flattered a queen mother!

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

At this time, an elderly nun (the original nun from Guanyin'an) walked in with a sad face. He looked at the nun who was dancing guns and sticks, and smelled the smell of meat again. He almost cried on his face. The disciples of the old nuns all ate meat. As for the monk Yongxin and his stick monk, although they claimed to be vegetarian, they looked at their body shape and muscles, as if they were vegetarians.

"The Empress Dowager..." The nun of Guanyin Temple knelt down in front of the master of the Imperial Sect and reported respectfully. "There is a female donor outside who claims to be Yang Mingxia, who said she is your disciple."

"Mingxia is here... invite her in." The old nun waved his hand and asked the host of Guanyin Temple to bring Yang Po'er in. He also ordered one of his personal disciples to pick up some meat pies and prepare to let Yang Po'er be breakfast.

After a while, Yang Po'er walked in alone, and bowed to the old nun in front of the destruction family.

"Get up, get up," the old nun waved his hand, "Didn't you eat breakfast? Have you eaten some together, it's your favorite meat bun."

"Thank you, Master." Yang Po'er said well-behavedly.

"Is the one named Chen who asked you to come? I thought he would come here in person."

The old nun seemed a little dissatisfied. Chen Dexing was her junior, but he didn't pay much attention to her in Penglai Port, nor did he let her and the people she brought to take the Pili. Now he refused to come to worship in person. Obviously, he didn't take her seriously.

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

"I'm afraid that I'll kill him?" the old nun snorted, "Isn't this kid a god? Isn't it invulnerable to swords and guns? Why are you afraid of me, an old lady in her seventies?"

"The King of Ming is a god with flesh and bones," Yang Po'er said with confidence. "His soul is reincarnated by a god, but his body is like a mortal, and he can't resist your old pear gun."

The old nun was stunned, frowned, and looked at Yang Po'er: "You really believe it!"

Yang Po'er nodded and said, "I really believe it! The Ming Wang is really not an ordinary person!"

"You believe it, Xian'er believes it too..." The old nun frowned more and more. How could she not know who Yang Po'er and Li Cuixian are? They were both foxes who became spirits, not easy to deceive! Now they all believe that Chen Dexing is the reincarnation of a god...

"Then how is he going to win the defense?" The old nun pointed to the fat monk beside him. "Will you bring the stick monk to the stage like the great monk Yongxin?"

The monk seemed to have not heard it, and his face had not changed at all. What's wrong with the monk with a stick? There are so many nonsense about the debate! How could he really make sense? If Basiba had no support from the Mongolians, he could have said Yin Zhiping? You want him to try it now?

"The Ming King has prepared two props, both called globe and astronomical telescope." Yang Po'er did not hide it. The old empress dowager will soon find out about this matter. There is no need to hide it, because the old nun will not care about this matter at all.

"There are still many gunships?" The old nun smiled.

"There are twenty ships!" Yang Po'er replied.

When the monk heard this, he was sincerely impressed. No wonder he was a living god! He brought thirty-six stick monks with him, but he brought twenty gunships! That's not what he said!

"If you can't say that, you'll bomb Putuo Mountain?" asked Mie Jue Old Ni.

"It's not unreasonable." Yang Po'er smiled, "The Ming King said that. If the Southern Song Dynasty dared to go north and ruin the good things of the Tang Dynasty, he would rush his army to Lin'an."

The old nun smiled and said, "This is almost the same... but. If my Tang Dynasty defeated Mongolia, what should he do with his Ming Dynasty?"

"The Ming Dynasty naturally took the land of Yanyun." Yang Po'er said lightly. This was indeed Chen Dexing's plan. There was no need to hide it from the old nun. Because Chen Dexing built a city in Tanggu, it was clear that he had to swallow north of the Haihe River. Only by obtaining the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun could he get enough Han people to support his conquest of Liaodong, western Liaoning, southern Mobei and northern Mobei.

Of course, this plan is just one of many military expansion plans formulated by Chen Dexing's General Staff Office. The premise is that the Eastern Tang Dynasty quickly defeated the Western Yuan Dynasty and controlled most of the northern Han area. In this way, the Northern Ming could only take the power of the Khitan in the past. According to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it would make plans again.

"A situation in the Great Liao Dynasty can still be given to him," the old nun thought, "but he can't sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight! He has to send troops to sweep the grasslands in western Liaoning and southern deserts and take down Kaiping City."

Although Kublai Khan has lost control over the western countries of Mongolia. After he killed Alibuge, the kings of the western countries regarded him as the rebellion of the Golden Family, and even Hulagu blamed him for being too ruthless. However, the central Ulus and the four host kings threatened by Chen Dexing still followed Kublai Khan. The central Ulus had no less than 100,000 troops. Although Tachaer, among the four host kings, was injured, the other three kings still maintained their strength. The total available troops of the four kings was no less than 100,000. In addition to the Han army and Semu army on Kublai Khan's side, the total strength was still more than 300,000! far exceeding Li Yu's army.

Therefore, if Li Yu wanted to fight against Kublai Khan, he had to gain more support from the Han marquis and the Southern Song vassal states. At the same time, Chen Dexing needed to restrain the power of the four host kings of Mongolia and some of the central Ulus in Mongolia.

"You can tell the King Ming." Yang Po'er can't be such a big boss, she is just a melody.

The old nun of the family stood up and smiled and said, "That's it. As long as he agrees, I promise that the Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist masters of the Tang Dynasty will not make things difficult for him. Go and tell him... At the latest next year, Tang Yuan will fight in the Central Plains! If Tiande is in Tang, let King Chen Ming stay peacefully in Liaodong. If Tiande is not in Tang... it depends on King Ming's ability! The Han world is always revived!"

As she spoke, she waved to Yang Po'er, "Mingxia, let me play with you for a while, let me see if your pear blossom gun has regressed?"

...

When Yang Po'er and the old nun were playing big guns, Chen Dexing kept guarding Taohua Island, staring at the expansion project of the military camp and the water village. He was preparing to build this place into an important military base.

The harbor of Taohua Island is much larger than Putuo Mountain, which not only can accommodate 20 gunboats from the North and South Fleet and dozens of lucky ships transporting troops. Now it has become a place of mooring for missions such as Koryo, Japan, Annan, and Khmer.

For Chen Dexing, this debate conference was not just a forum to show the truth of the Tiandaoism. It was also a stage for the international diplomacy of Greater East Asia. Unlike Europe and West Asia, there were long-standing international relations. At this time, Greater East Asia was a semi-isolated civilized circle. There were few formal exchanges between countries, let alone mutual envoys.

Among these isolated and semi-isolated civilization circles, the largest is undoubtedly the mainland civilization circle composed of the four countries of the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. Annan, Japan and the Dali Kingdom, which had just been restored not long ago, are also considered to be the marginal part of this civilization circle, but they also have their own system. In addition, the Khmer, Sanfoqi and Java are another circle, and there is almost no official exchange with the mainland. Even the Beiming, which established the Nanyang fleet, has not officially entered the Nanfan now. It is just that in Annan, Chameng (which has been destroyed by the Khmer) coastal activities.

It is similar to the problems faced in Japan. Chen Dexing now has no spare energy to conquer the countries of the Southern Fan. This is not only because of his insufficient troops, but also because of the malaria epidemic in the Southern Fan, and there is almost no way to cure it. Moreover, the hot climate in the Southern Fan is not something that Chen Dexing's northern army can adapt to.

Therefore, the conquest of Nanfan could only start with religion and trade, and then approach the seaside, cooler colonies, and then gradually encroached until they all annexed...

As for the ideological work of the indigenous envoys from various countries in the Southern Fan countries, Chen Dexing's method was very simple. He pretended to be a god and a ghost, shocked the miracles, and then fooled the Tiandaoism. Then with their help, spread the Tiandaoism to the Southern Fan period. In fact, Tiandaoism has always been divided into two aspects: superstition and science.

The superstitious side is to shock with miracles, then worship Taiyi God and the Ming King of the Descendant, and believe that the Pure Land Heaven and the Ascension to Heaven are very simple and easy to spread. The scientific side is the theory of the Scientific Divine Church and the knowledge imparting and research discovery of the Tiandao Academy. Perhaps in the future, it is not certain that the Tiandao Church is divided into two.
