Han Khan

Chapter 116: Glory of the Ancestors
Ilhan spoke on behalf of the siblings:
"Thank you for your proposal, Your Highness. We are willing to join the Jinhan tribe and become holy believers and Jinhan people who worship Haotian God!"

Zhang Sheng smiled, he stood up, drew the sword from his waist, cut a strand of hair from each of the two men's heads, and put them into the brazier.

Then he said:
"Come, follow me to the holy flag, and I will baptize you and your brother in the Holy Church!"

The two men stood up and followed Zhang Sheng to the north side of the tent to the holy flag with a blue background and golden holy symbols.

"Your Majesty!"

“Recite with me.”

"I swear that the Supreme Lord of Heaven is the only God, the creator of all things in the universe and the truth..."

…………

"The Supreme Haotian is in heaven, may your glorious name last forever!"

The two of them looked solemn and devoutly followed Zhang Sheng in reciting in elegant language.

When the last syllable fell, the two seemed to feel a mysterious force descending upon them. (Nonsense, it just seems too real.)
This power made them feel a warmth and peace they had never experienced before, as if it was a blessing from God.

In this way, Sarah and Ilhan officially became holy believers who worshipped the God of Heaven.

Then, Zhang Sheng took out two sharp swords from the void, patted them gently on the shoulders and heads, and announced that they had won the title of holy warriors.

The two men immediately looked at Zhang Sheng and his surroundings in shock, trying to find out the source of the two swords.

After watching for a long time, I still couldn't figure out where Zhang Sheng took out the two swords from.

Then the two gave up, but became even more pious, thinking that the person before them was the messenger of God on earth.

At the same time, when the ceremony is completed.

Zhang Sheng extended his hands to Sarah and Ilhan with a smile, expressing his warm welcome.

He said sincerely: "I sincerely welcome you to join the Holy Church and the Jinhan Ministry. From now on, we are one family."

Sarah and Ilhan were filled with gratitude and they kowtowed three times respectfully to Zhang Sheng.

At this moment, they have pledged their loyalty to this great leader.

Zhang Sheng gently helped them up, his eyes full of trust and expectation.

Afterwards, Zhang Sheng asked everyone else to leave the church because he needed to be alone and devoutly receive God's revelation in front of this holy flag.

(Think about how to save, and in what name to save, the Tang people and their descendants who were killed by the Arabs and the new leader of the Karakhanid Khanate, Satuk.)
Everyone dispersed, but Zhang Sheng kept thinking in front of the holy flag.

At this moment, he thought in his heart and muttered to himself:
"The Arabs were superior to the Europeans at that time in that they had the same writing system and the same wheel gauge.

No wonder their culture and traditions have been preserved to the present day, although they have become extremely backward, closed and barbaric.

But on this planet, their followers are chanting Huda everywhere. It seems that they are not fools, and there is no shortage of wise men. The Great Translation Movement allowed the Arabs to absorb many cultures and classics of the Romans and Persians, and absorbed them into their own cultural theories and theological guidance.

So the holy teachings must also be like this. The writing system must be unified and the wheels must be standardized. The unification of writing, language, and weights and measures is a must. This is the great way and the direction.

If they do not do this, the Jin-Han tribe, which is a mixture of Han and Hu people, will always be a loose sand in this era of great strife among civilizations, and will eventually end up like the Tang people who drifted to the west of the Pamir Mountains and were assimilated by the Arab culture.

My direction is correct. I draw on the experiences and rituals of various sects, use the miracles demonstrated by the system, combine Confucianism, Buddhism, and the traditions, customs and teachings of the saints of our country, and establish the holy religion and the belief in the one God, Haotian.

Only in this way can the Han and Hu people under Jin Han be distinguished from the Arabs and Europeans.

With greater advantages, we will guard the cultural heritage of the Jinhan tribe in the future and expand the glory of the Xia civilization and Han culture.

Although in the later period, the influence of the Holy Religion will definitely be very great in the country of the Jin Han people, and it will definitely become like the scholar-official class in history, and its influence on the country's rule will be very huge.

But this is normal. Only with the Holy Church promoting and protecting the culture inherited by Jinhan can it avoid being assimilated. "

Zhang Sheng sat cross-legged in front of the holy flag. Although he was staring at the blue holy flag, his thoughts had already drifted to somewhere else.

"That is to say, I met my first real enemy, and this enemy was not just the physical cannibal.

There is also the monopoly of the Arabs, and the Arab religion that the people of China believed in after being conquered by the Arabs, which was a sectarian, spiritual, and cultural enemy.

Although this is the right way, it was used by the enemy to conquer and control the Tang people. How vicious! They did this to make the remaining people of the Tang Dynasty forget their ancestors, and even forget that they are the descendants of the ancestors of the Chinese nation and the teachings of the saints.

If this continues, after just a few hundred years, the influence and traces left by the Han Dynasty in this area can be completely wiped out, turning this area into a complete territory of the Arabs and the Arab religion.

For hundreds of years, the Han Dynasty's construction and control of the material and cultural aspects of this place ultimately became a benefit to others.

The Arab religion founded by the Arab saint Muhammad was a revolutionary change for the Arabs. It brought them unity and rich cultural heritage, and enabled them to conquer everywhere.

But for us Han people, Tang people, and the people of the Xia Dynasty, this ethnic group that has existed for thousands of years, this is unfair. We can change and progress, but we cannot be replaced.

The Arabs' Arab religion was intended to replace the cultural heritage of the ethnic groups they conquered with Arab religion as the core. If that ethnic group was originally barbaric and uncultured, then it would indeed be an improvement for them.

But for us, the Han and Tang people, who are descendants of the Xia Dynasty, this is a war. It is not only a material war for territory, wealth, and population, but also a spiritual war for the right to speak in the future.

What's more, the Battle of Talas ended only a hundred years ago, and the war between China and the Arabs has not yet ended.

Now, it will be up to me to continue this sacred foreign war to restore the dignity of the Han Dynasty!
But can I defeat them? Can the Jin Han people defeat them? Can the Holy Church resist the impact of the Arabs and the Christians?
Of course, if I led the Jinhan tribe to convert directly to them and become one of them, there might not be so many difficulties, but was that my original intention?

Zhang Sheng looked into the distance with a determined gaze, his heart full of a sense of mission.

He knew very well that his coming into this world was not accidental, but that there was an important mission waiting for him to accomplish.

After careful consideration, he finally realized his mission.
