Planet Rebirth

Everyone fell silent, ready to quietly listen to the speech of the young and handsome Pope's attendant.

After looking around for a week, Yang Rui began to say: "As some people said, the Seljuks have become the most threatening enemy in Europe. Of course, there are also the Saracens in Damascus. They are all aliens. Christians. 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 population, endless wealth, and vast land. And Constantinople is the bridgehead to attack us. With that fortress as a support, their cavalry can run rampant on the vast grassland without fear. Therefore, we must not Let the Seljuks gain a foothold in Constantinople, and let them turn this fortress into a launching pad for an attack on Rome. No matter how many Roman soldiers die, Byzantium must be firmly in our hands. This way Only in this way can we rest easy. This is the first reason why the Pope advocates sending troops."

"Second." Yang Rui stretched out two fingers, raised them above his head, spun on the spot, and continued: "This is also the issue that the Pope and you are most concerned about, even higher than the threat of the Seljuks to us. It is the demon that has haunted our hearts for hundreds of years. We are all God’s people, believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and both God and Jesus love us, but what do we give back to God and Jesus? Day of prayer and worship of the Sabbath! I ask you not to forget that our holy city, the great Jerusalem, the place of the crucifixion of Jesus, is still in the hands of heathen! It is a shame to all of us that the evil voices of those heathen are polluting the great Jerusalem. This is something we must not tolerate."

Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The Seljuks' insatiable greed will eventually cost them a heavy price! This is an opportunity, God's arrangement, for us to regain Jerusalem and the holy city."

Someone suddenly asked: "What does taking back 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 used them ourselves. Convenient. Can attack Constantinople smoothly.”

Speaking of this, Yang Rui glanced at the people around him, and everyone showed hesitation in their eyes, as if they had some doubts about his words, so he smiled slightly and threw out his trump card.

He went on to say: "Jerusalem is the birthplace of civilization, and Constantinople is a symbol of wealth. Wherever we go, under the protection of the sword, those endless wealth will be yours. The Pope allows you Taxes are levied on the acquired territories, and the land will be rewarded to you. All merchants must sponsor this expedition. And the rewards for you are 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 is about killing, which is very different from God's benevolence."

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

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

Everyone cheered loudly, their eyes released greed for the wealth in the far east, as if they wanted it right away, and this time God gave them a golden 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 said, "A nobleman from France, Paynes, wants to see you."

A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Rui's mouth and he said, "Let him in, I'm waiting for him."

Not long ago, Paines walked in in a luxurious dress.Before he could speak, Yang Rui said: "I understand the purpose of your coming. This is a great Eastern Expedition, and it needs a brave and courageous person to lead this great army. I believe you are the most suitable candidate." .”

Everything Yang Rui said was exactly what Paynes desperately needed.After hearing Yang Rui's words, he said: "Father, thank you for your trust. If we can successfully capture Jerusalem, then half of the wealth I get will belong to you."

Yang Rui said: "I'm 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 and lead the soldiers to set off."

The next day, Yang Rui personally promulgated the Pope's appointment and dismissal letter at the meeting, and the Crusade led by Paynes will set off for Constantinople in the spring of this year.And at the same time, he also announced that he would go to the East with the army as an observer of the Pope.

When the spring of this year came, the [-] crusaders funded by Italian businessmen embarked on the road to the East.During this process, many impoverished people also voluntarily joined the ranks, hoping to get a share of the pie through this Eastern Expedition.

In May, the Crusaders entered the border of the Byzantine Empire, marching towards Constantinople, they defeated the Seljuks along the way and moved forward smoothly.

When they arrived under Constantinople, the Seljuks who had besieged Constantinople for half a year were exhausted. Facing the powerful Crusaders, they had no choice but to retreat and leave the broken Constantinople to Crusader.

Faced with the city gates being opened wide and the Byzantines welcoming, Paines asked Yang Rui: "Father, what should we do?"

Yang Rui said: "Kill them all!"

Paines was surprised and asked, "Why is that? They are also God's people."

Yang Rui said calmly: "Two reasons. They converted to the Orthodox Church and openly split with the Holy See, so they are also pagans! Second, the endless wealth in Constantinople is beyond our best. Do you think they Will the king willingly give it to you?"

A ferocious smile appeared on Paynes' face. He waved his long sword and shouted, "Attack! Kill these heretics!"

That night, the unprepared Constantinople turned into hell under the looting of the Crusaders. 50 innocent citizens were massacred, all the wealth in the city was looted, the Sophia Cathedral was burned, and the king was in grief and indignation. Died by suicide.And every pocket of the Crusaders is stuffed with gold and jewels, and they thank God for everything they have given during the killing.

But Yang Rui stood on the top of the city and watched countless creatures vanish into ashes. The continuous energy was gathering in his body. Paines gained wealth, and he also gained more energy.

Since that day, Yang Rui provoked countless wars in the ensuing 1000 years. Billions of living beings disappeared in the flames of war and became his own energy source. Writing history is to restore history according to one's own wishes, if not, then the final outcome he wants 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. A series of wars by the United States against the Middle East 1000 years ago.

Without the prosperity of Christianity, there would not have been the powerful Spanish Empire and the British Empire, and there would have been no future United States.Yang Rui founded Buddhism, which enabled the East to have an empire with a stable foundation for thousands of years, so that the confrontation between the East and the West began early. With a stable situation and population expansion, there was a man named Yang Xian. It was Yang Rui's father. In the autumn of 1978, Yang Rui witnessed the birth of a boy, who was himself.

Yang Rui watched the boy grow up, then went abroad to study, came to the United States, and later worked and lived in Houston, met his girlfriend, and became an astronaut with the encouragement and support of his girlfriend.

On that day in 2013, time returned to the starting point, back to Yang Rui's last day as a human being. After billions of years of waiting, he was finally able to see what happened on that day! (To be continued..)
