Chapter 170 Everything is for this day

Everyone fell silent and prepared to listen quietly to the speech of the young and handsome papal attendant.

After Yang Rui looked around for a week, he began to say: "As some people said, the Seljuks have now become the most threatening enemies in Europe, and of course the Saracens as far away as Damascus. They are all aliens.

Believers. First of all, we have to figure out why they attacked Byzantium and besieged Constantinople? Is it just for that fortress? Absolutely not, their purpose is obvious, that is to enter our territory. Because we have many people here

population, endless wealth, vast

The vast land. And Constantinople is the bridgehead for attacking us. With that fortress as a support, their cavalry can run rampant on the vast grassland without any scruples. Therefore, we must not let the Seljuks attack us in the capital.

Constantinople stood firm and let him

We turned this fortress into a springboard for the attack on Rome. Even if we sacrifice the lives of more Roman soldiers, Byzantium must be firmly in our hands. Only in this way can we rest easy. This is the first time the Pope has advocated sending troops.

reason."

"Second" Yang Rui stretched out two fingers, raised them high above his head, did a spin, and continued: "This is also the issue that the Pope and you are most concerned about, even higher than the threat to us from the Seljuks. Then

It is the devil that has been lingering in our hearts for hundreds of years. We are all God’s people, believers in the Lord Christ Jesus. Both God and Jesus love us, but I

What have we given back to God and Jesus? It can’t just be daily prayers and Sabbath worship! I ask you not to forget that our holy city, the great Jerusalem, the place of Jesus’ crucifixion, is still in the hands of the pagans! This is our

It is a shame for all, and the evil voices of those pagans are polluting the great Jerusalem every day. This is something we will never tolerate."

Yang Rui took a breath and continued: "The Seljuk people's insatiable greed will eventually make them pay a heavy price! This is an opportunity, an arrangement from God, giving us the opportunity to regain Jerusalem and the Holy City."

Someone suddenly asked: "What does recapturing the Holy City have to do with helping Constantinople?"

Yang Rui immediately said: "Do you want our knights to starve to death in the desert? We also need a supply base, and Constantinople is the best choice. We helped the Byzantines, but we also exercised our own

Convenient. You can attack Constantinople smoothly."

Having said this, Yang Rui glanced at the people around him. Everyone's eyes showed hesitation, as if they had some doubts about his words, so he smiled slightly and threw out his trump card.

He continued: "Jerusalem is the birthplace of civilization, and Constantinople is a symbol of wealth. And wherever we go, under the protection of the sword, the endless wealth will be yours. The Pope allows you to

Taxes will be levied on the acquired territory and the land will be granted to you. All merchants must sponsor this eastern expedition. The reward for you will be low taxes and free trade rights in the occupied areas. I think such conditions,

No one is willing to refuse.”

Someone asked hesitantly: "But war involves killing, which is very different from God's love."

Yang Rui shouted loudly: "Slaughtering pagans is not a crime, it is the road to the kingdom of heaven! We want to take back the holy city of Jerusalem and everything that should belong to us!"

Finally, Yang Rui shouted loudly: "The one who is above is with me!"

Everyone cheered loudly, and their eyes revealed their greed for the wealth of the far east, as if they wanted to get it immediately, and this time God gave them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they would never let it go.

After the meeting, Yang Rui had just returned to his residence when a waiter knocked on the door and came in and said: "A nobleman from France, Paynes, wants to see him."

Yang Rui showed a smile and said, "Let him come in, I'm waiting for him."

At a short time, Paynes, dressed in luxurious clothes, walked in. Before he could speak, Yang Rui said: "I understand the purpose of your coming. This is a great Eastern Expedition, and it requires a brave and courageous person."

I believe you are the most suitable candidate to lead this great army."

Everything Yang Rui said was exactly what Paynes urgently needed. After hearing what Yang Rui said, he said: "Father, thank you for your trust. If we can successfully capture Jerusalem, then the wealth I will gain will be

Half of it is yours."

Yang Rui said: "I am not interested in money. I just hope to see the victory of the Eastern Expedition. You'd better not let me down."

Paynes asked hesitantly: "Can the Pope agree to this?"

Yang Rui nodded affirmatively and said: "Tomorrow you will see the Pope's edict, lead the soldiers and set off."

The next day, Yang Rui personally promulgated the papal appointment and dismissal at the meeting. The Crusaders led by Paynes will set off for Constantinople in the spring of this year. At the same time, he also announced that he would serve as the pope.

The observers accompanied the army to the East.

When the spring of this year came, one hundred thousand Crusaders funded by Italian businessmen set out on the road to the East. In the process, many poor people also voluntarily joined the ranks, hoping that through this

The Second Eastern Expedition got a share of the pie.

In May, the Crusaders entered the border of the Byzantine Empire and marched towards Constantinople. They defeated the Seljuqs' blockades along the way and moved forward smoothly.

When they arrived at the foot of Constantinople, the Seljuks who had besieged Constantinople for half a year were exhausted. Facing the powerful Crusaders, they had no choice but to retreat, leaving the ruined Constantinople behind.

The Crusaders.

Facing the city gates wide open and the Byzantines welcoming him, Paynes asked Yang Rui: "Father, what should we do?"

Yang Rui said: "Kill them all!"

Paynes was surprised and asked: "Why is this? They are also God's people."

Yang Rui said calmly: "Two reasons. They converted to Orthodox Christianity and openly split from the Holy See, so they are also heretics! Second, the endless wealth in Constantinople is our best disadvantage. Do you think they

Will the king voluntarily give it to you?"

A ferocious smile appeared on Paynes's face. He waved his sword and shouted: "Attack! Kill all these infidels!"

That night, the unprepared Constantinople turned into a hell under the looting of the Crusaders. Half a million innocent citizens were massacred, all the wealth in the city was looted, Sophia Cathedral was burned by fire, and the king was in grief and indignation.

They committed suicide and died. And every Crusaders' pockets were stuffed with gold and jewels. They thanked God for everything they had given them while killing.

And Yang Rui stood on the top of the city and watched countless lives being wiped out. The endless energy was gathering into his body. Paynes gained wealth, and he also gained more energy.

Since that day, Yang Rui started countless wars in the following thousand years. Billions of creatures disappeared in the flames of war and became his own source of energy. The most important thing is that the reason why Yang Rui did this was because

To rewrite history is to restore history according to one's own wishes. If not, then he wants to

The final outcome will not come. Because without Caesar's uprising, there would be no later Roman Empire, and there would be no trial of Jesus. Without Christianity, there would be no eight Crusades. Arabs and Christians

The war that lasted for a thousand years will finally lead to a series of wars by the United States in the Middle East a thousand years later.

Without the prosperity of Christianity, there would not have been the powerful Spanish Empire and the British Empire, and there would not have been the United States. Yang Rui founded Buddhism, which gave the East an empire with a stable foundation that lasted for thousands of years, and thus long ago

The confrontation between the East and the West stabilized, and the population expanded. Only then did a man named Yang Xian appear. This man was Yang Rui's father. In the autumn of 1978, Yang Rui witnessed the birth of a boy.

Just yourself.

Yang Rui watched the boy grow up, then study abroad, come to the United States, and later work and live in Houston, where he met his girlfriend and became an astronaut with her encouragement and support.

On that day in 2013, time returned to the starting point, to Yang Rui’s last day as a human being. After billions of years of waiting, he finally got to see what happened on that day! (To be continued, please search Gone with the Wind
