Chapter 257 Religious Issues, Helpless Sura
Listening to Ying Yu's narration, all the officials in Qilin Hall showed expressions of disbelief.
"This is too outrageous, isn't it?"
"This is simply a cult!"
"Aren't the monarchs of these foreign countries all idiots who don't know how to resist?"
A group of officials talked one after another.
Although the monarchs of the Zhou Dynasty would also call themselves the Son of Heaven, with a hint of divine power, but this was just a statement to strengthen the rule. No monarch would be really stupid enough to put divine power above military power.
Domineering like the first emperor, he even dismissed the title of emperor, directly abolished the title of emperor, directly used the name of the three emperors and five emperors, and called himself the first emperor.
Therefore, what Ying Yu said was that the theocracy of the foreign countries was above the monarchy, and it was really difficult for the important officials of the Great Qin Dynasty to accept and understand.
A trace of anger flashed across Ying Zheng's face.
If Daqin dared to present such teachings, with Yingzheng's personality, he would definitely not mention anything else.
"To put it bluntly, it is still a legacy of the enfeoffment system."
"Because of the enfeoffment system, the local power is too strong. These foreign countries often have the situation like the Eastern Zhou Dynasty where government orders do not leave the capital, and the country is easily divided."
"After the division, there will be a situation where multiple countries believe in one religion.
This has led to many times that religious rulers can spread across countries and instigate controlled countries to attack other countries, allowing religion to have a higher power status.
In many foreign countries, the pope even has his own army. With military power, the king is even weaker. "
"Some popes will even deliberately plunge countries into long-term wars and chaos, because only in this way, the people will pray for the blessing of the gods more, their beliefs will become more pious, and they will completely become religious tools."
Ying Yu sighed.
There is a well-recognized saying in later generations, that is, if the first emperor could not unify the seven countries, and did not take the initiative to make books and text cars the same track, the Central Plains would probably continue to fall apart like Europe, and it would be difficult to integrate them into one.
This is also the reason why there are thousands of years of history and countless talented and powerful monarchs, but only the first emperor can be called the eternal emperor.
It was because the First Emperor had completely set the tone for a unified empire.
Since then, no matter how the dynasties change, great unification has always been the main purpose, and any divisive behavior cannot be accepted by the people.
"It's time to kill!"
Ying Zheng said succinctly.
The courtiers also nodded in agreement.
This kind of religion is really terrible, it is completely the source of disaster!
Ying Yu smiled lightly.
With my own reminder, presumably the vigilance of the emperor and his ministers towards religion will rise to another level.
It is not so easy for the Roman god Peacockism to be introduced into Daqin.
Without official permission, if you want to preach in Daqin, it is a real act of death.
I can be regarded as removing a terrible cancer ahead of time.
Although the teachings of a certain sect do have the positive side of guiding people to be compassionate after being assimilated, the harm is too great
Just the special treatment of not doing production, not taking corvee, and not paying taxes is enough to make Ying Yu ruthless.
Not to mention the prohibition of normal marriage.
If all the people believed in them, men would become monks and women would become nuns, wouldn't a country not need outsiders to attack, and it would perish directly because of the extinction of children and grandchildren?
There has always been only one method for Ying Yu to control his subordinates.
Those who obey me prosper and those who oppose me perish!
If you cooperate honestly and are willing to correct your mistakes, I can give you a chance as appropriate.
Those who are unwilling to repent and disobedient, whether it is religion, or countries such as Macedonia, Ptolemaic Egypt, and Carthage, have only one end to perish!
Surrender or die!
As for the etiquette first and then the soldiers, it is purely treating others and myself as fools.
Daqin publicizes to the common people on the newspapers, is it possible that Qin scholars will realize the universality of the world, do these countries really not see it?
Xianyang City, Dian Ke Department.
"What shall we do now?"
"Prince Daqin has already rejected all our invitations, claiming that unless we first agree to his previous conditions, there is nothing to talk about."
"Nowadays, we even have to pay for our own food and clothing to live here. Daqin's attitude couldn't be more obvious."
Prince Perseus of Macedon looked sadly at Ptolemy V and Sulla Dao, the treasurer of Carthage.
"How about we try to contact the Romans?"
"It is said that the envoys of the Romans are about to arrive in Xianyang City."
"If we can join forces with the Romans, we may not be able to keep the Great Qin people out of the Mediterranean Sea."
"After all, Daqin is too far away from what they call Persia County!"
"Moreover, it is impossible for Daqin's fleet to reach the Mediterranean Sea directly."
Ptolemy V hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth to analyze.
Perseus and Sura looked at each other, with a hint of vigilance flashing in their eyes.
The idea of Ptolemy V is really too dangerous.
If it is only his own meaning, it can only show that Ptolemy Egypt is a stupid pig.
If Ptolemy IV also had this idea, then Ptolemy Egypt really had to guard against it.
Otherwise, at the critical moment, Ptolemy Egypt stabbed them in the back, and neither Macedonia nor Carthage could bear it.
The two of them dealt with each other casually, and then hurriedly found a place to discuss.
"It's no wonder that Prince Daqin looks down on us. Now, I'm almost giving up hope."
"I think Ptolemy I was considered a wise master back then, but now it's only been a hundred years, and he has fallen to this point."
Perseus sighed.
Sura also secretly smiled bitterly.
Ptolemy V's words of betrayal are certainly hateful.
But you Perseus, you are also the prince of Macedonia, the future heir, so pessimistic at every turn, is this really not a problem?
Thinking of the Seleucid Kingdom that had completely sold herself to Daqin, Sura couldn't help feeling a little desperate.
My Carthage, these are some pig teammates.
It's like a pit.
No wonder the Romans in Macedonia and Seleucid had much fewer troops on the front line than Carthage, but they always gained an advantage.
It's not that the Romans are too strong, but that these pig teammates are too pitiful!
This kind of pig teammate, not to mention Da Qin, even himself looks down on him.
The Romans who were able to fight in the Great Qin bowed their knees, and it is only natural to despise Macedonia and other countries that were beaten by the Romans.
According to Su La's estimate, as long as Da Qin continues to exert pressure, the Perseus in front of him will most likely succumb.
Although Macedonia has fallen, it is after all the orthodoxy of the former Alexander Great Empire.
Once, like the Seleucid Kingdom, they take refuge in Daqin, the pace of Daqin going deep into the Mediterranean, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to stop it!
The Carthaginians, who started as a sea trader, were not as stupid as Ptolemy V, thinking that the geographical environment alone could limit the Great Qin Fleet.
That's right, the distance between the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea is indeed very far, and the Daqin Fleet cannot reach it for the time being.
But wouldn't Daqin build the shipyard to the shore of the Mediterranean Sea and start building the fleet again?
Based on what he saw along the way, Daqin fully possesses this strength.
I'm afraid that within a few years, an unimaginably powerful fleet will appear on the Mediterranean Sea.
At that time, both Rome and Carthage will look up to Daqin.
