Chapter 539 It's Better To Go Out

On the 18th autumn of the third year of Xianchun in the Song Dynasty, Quanzhou.

The area around Tumen Street has been cleaned up, and it turns out that the dense corpses around Tumen City Tower have been removed as much as possible. The corpses on the street have been collected, covered with white cloth and sprinkled with disinfected quicklime. However, the city gate tower, which was beaten with arrows, and the traces of smoke and fire, could not be concealed for the time being.

The militia soldiers composed of Quanzhou Tiandao disciples ran around inside and outside Tumen. Everyone was extremely tired and excited. The richest city in the world was captured by them after three days and three nights of melee! The twists and turns in the middle were thrilling, and now thinking about it, it seemed like a dream.

The essence of the Quanzhou Rebellion was actually a religious war! First, the Tiandaoism was in charge, the Confucians went out of the city to attack, then the Tianfangists raised troops in the city, and finally the Tiandaoism and Confucians joined forces to counterattack, killing the forces of the Tianfangism in Quanzhou in one fell swoop. The Tianfangists who withdrew from Quanzhou were chased by Zhao Yu and Chen Zilong's corpses, and finally boarded a boat in Putian and rushed into the far sea. They did not catch Pu Shougen and Ma Shoushan's Quanyong did not return to Quanzhou, but entered the Xinghua Military Governor Putian, which was still in the Great Song Dynasty, and was governed by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. They naturally welcomed the Troupe controlled by Zhao Yu, the royal family, to enter.

As for the counties belonging to Quanzhou Prefecture, the three coastal counties including Jinjiang, Hui'an and Tong'an, because of the dense merchants and the powerful people of the sea merchants and the Tiandaoists were very powerful. After Jinjiang (the capital of Quanzhou) was controlled by the Tiandaoism, they all fell into the hands of the Tiandaoism. The seven counties in Nan'an, Anxi, Yongchun and Dehua were in the inland. They were still under the rule of the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, when Chen Dexing arrived in Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture was in a state of one prefecture and two countries.

As the rain began to clear, the fireworks in Quanzhou City were roughly extinguished. Just as the soldiers of the Heavenly Daoist militia who were wearing ordinary people's clothes and wrapped a piece of yellow cloth on their heads came and went, Mo Yingniang, Fang Yumen, Ji Zhiji and others gathered at Taiyi Temple outside Quanzhou City. Chen Feiyang and Dawei each brought a company of bows and cavalry guards to spread around. They were closely guarded. At the commanding heights, there were dazzling light reflected by steel armor everywhere. A huge Sun and Moon King Flag was flying above Taiyi Temple!

Mo Yingniang and others were waiting for Chen Dexing's arrival. The people fighting here did not expect that Chen Dexing actually came to Quanzhou in a fast ship! They stabilized the situation. Chen Dexing's ship, the Ming Dynasty, appeared outside the Port of Shitong, and everyone was excited at the moment. This time, he showed his face in front of His Royal Highness King Ming! No matter what, he should have a generous reward, right?

Mo Yingniang stood there, her face full of joy, and was waiting for Chen Dexing to arrive. She was the number one hero. She was the one who fought with the Tiandaoists in Quanzhou City! The wealthy merchants who did not join the Tiandao Sect and the Tianfang Sect in Quanzhou City also knew that the Ming Wang was here. The wealthy merchants, who were embarrassed and still in shock, also guarded the outside of Taiyi Temple Gate early.

But compared with the people of the Tiandaoism, their faces looked much ugly. They were not missing the Song Dynasty's opposition to the Ming Dynasty, but were worried about their "money prospects". In the words of later generations, Quanzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty was an international metropolis, with a sea of ​​all rivers and a great tolerance. Merchants from all over the world gathered in Quanzhou. In addition to bringing their culture, religion and lifestyle, they also brought a world market. In Fujian, a barren land with eight mountains, one water and one branch of fields, many industries that can be developed for marketing the world, including tea, porcelain, silk, lacquerware, ships, iron, etc., in addition to the hard work of the Fujian people, they benefited from the vast world market.

The foreigners in Quanzhou, especially the Tianfang Sect, are the bonds that Quanzhou connects the world! These people are now either dead in turmoil or fleeing. Most of the bonds that connect the world in Quanzhou and even the entire Southern Song Dynasty have been cut off! Without the market for foreigners, can Quanzhou's prosperity, Fujian's prosperity, and even Jiangnan's prosperity still be maintained?

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and a group of people came from far to near. The first person to lead the way was Gu Dali, the admiral of the Nanyang Fleet, one of the twenty-two brothers. His fleet often entered the Shitong Port, and he had also come to Quanzhou City several times. According to the plan of the Military Affairs Department, the Nanyang Fleet's home port would soon be moved to Jiahe Island in Tong'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture, which was the Xiamen Island in later generations. So he is now half a landlord, so he leads the way forward.

Behind Gu Dali was the Marines of the Nanyang Fleet. The Beiyang Fleet did not have a Marine, but the Nanyang Fleet must have it. Under the leadership of the commander Zhang Xianshi, these Marines listed columns, dressed in leather armor, carried guns and crossbows, and held swords and shields (of course, the Marines did not have cavalry or were equipped with anti-cavalry spears), and walked with great confidence.

Chen Dexing himself rode a tall horse, taking Zhao Lin'er, Yang Po'er, Xiao Ai, Juesin nun, and some staff and secretary who went south, came in a rush under the escort of a guard cavalry who were dismounting and walking in a battalion. While moving forward, he was also proudly talking to the Japanese mature nun who was riding a donkey beside him.

"How?" Chen Dexing raised his horse whip and pointed to the Quanzhou Prefecture City where the Sun and Moon King Flag was flying in the distance. "The city of millions of people has been taken by tens of thousands of disciples of Heaven! Juexin, are you willing to worship the Lord King as your teacher?"

Juesinni was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Today's Quanzhou Prefecture, tomorrow's Heian Kyoto (referring to Japan's Kyoto)?"

Chen Dexing looked back at the nun, smiled and nodded, and said, "Juexin, you are right! The Heavenly Daoism should become the largest sect in the world. How can Japan stand outside the Heavenly Dao? If you join the orphan king, you can be in charge of the affairs of the Japanese Heavenly Daoism."

Ren Daoxing is now in charge of the Japanese affairs of Tiandaoism, but Ren Daoxing's missionary ability is really not very good. This Taoist man from the Taoist Shenxiao Sect is actually a chemist, and he can use various H medicines to pretend to be a god. It is really not possible to preach. In contrast, the Nun Juexin and her son Monk Juehui are much stronger in preaching. Just look at the prosperity of Honan Temple in later generations.

"Jiuxin cannot get what you want. Juexin and wish to worship the king as your teacher and enter the Heavenly Taoism."

Nun Jueshin did not refuse, but bowed his lower body on the back of the donkey and agreed. Master Shinran had passed away two months ago, and the establishment of the Honan Temple was still far away. The method taught by Shinran was a bit declining. For Jueshin, a wine nun who married two men and gave birth to a nest of children, it is not a good choice to switch to the emerging and powerful Tiandaoism, which is a new and powerful Tiandaoism, and it is not a good choice to make a new situation!

If, as expected, Tiandaoism became the national religion of Japan and those who believe in the Awakening can master the teachings of a country, what honor would it be?

Chen Dexing smiled and said, "The Nun Juesin, it should be the help of Juesin Taoist Nun. The situation of Tiandaoism in Japan should be opened soon."

Japan is different from later generations. It is not China's mortal enemy, but a big fan of Chinese civilization. For hundreds of years, it has been learning Chinese civilization. Now, China is prospering because of the Tiandaoism. There should be many Japanese devils in "Karabakh-China" who have also converted to the Tiandaoism, right?

And Japan's Buddhism and Shinto are deeply rooted and should not be willing to give up the power of religion... The prophecy of "Today's Quanzhou Prefecture, tomorrow's Heianjing" will definitely come true in many years!

Chen Dexing rode on the horse and turned his mind back to Quanzhou. The Bai Fan in this city has been wiped out now. In the long run, this is not a bad thing.

Because the maritime industry in the 13th century was different from that in later generations. It was a special industry with strong armed forces, and it was also known as the Second Navy!

It is good to accommodate all rivers, but letting foreign armed forces grow and grow along the coast of China is a problem of raising tigers. In history, Quanzhou, because of the military power of the Tianfang Cultists, paid a few times heavier than it is now, and it was almost like a member of the Tianfang Cult world! Later, it used the ultimate move of genocide and killed everything...

It’s better not to have such prosperity!

Of course, like the Zhu Ming Dynasty, it is not advisable to simply stay in the country and not interact with the outside world. Chen Ming cannot learn from Zhu Ming. Not only can he go to seclusion, but he also has to go out to develop maritime trade!

"King, Taiyi has arrived." Gu Dali's voice interrupted Chen Dexing's thoughts. He looked up and saw that he had arrived at the place. Mo Yingniang was leading a group of guys dressed in businessmen to welcome him at the door of the Taoist temple.

"My Mo Yingniang welcomes the king. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my order and have taken down Quanzhou Prefecture for the king!"

Mo Yingniang was the first to come forward to pay a greeting. Chen Dexing smiled and took off his legs. Although he was wearing armor, he still landed steadily and stood in front of Mo Yingniang with a smile.

He patted Mo Yingniang's shoulders and said with a liking look: "Good job! Take all Quanzhou and clear away the years of Quanzhou Prefecture's illness... He has made outstanding achievements, and the Lone King will definitely reward you!"

Mo Yingniang shook her body, and the joy on her face could not be concealed. The beauty of the iceberg seemed to have moved her heart. But she was still concealing her mouth, "I... this battle is not all taken, and dozens of Quanzhou's foreign merchants have almost been destroyed! Now the trade route between Quanzhou and the West has been mostly interrupted..."
Chapter completed!
