Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 359: Entrepreneurs Committed to Rebellion

When Alexandros found Gillis, he was treating patients in a nearby village, with Mohammed and Zoe helping him.

Nowadays, although Garys has no shortage of manpower, he still often has to go to the front line in person.

On the one hand, it is to maintain one's own experience so as not to become rusty.

The other aspect is to establish direct contact between the people and him.

This era is different from later generations. In later generations, due to the development of information communication, a person can establish communication relationships with hundreds or thousands of people even without leaving home, and then establish a reputation among hundreds of thousands of people.

But this cannot be done at this time.

Many farmers have never left their hometown from birth to death, and the number of people they have ever chatted with or spoken to in their entire lives is no more than three or four hundred.

Therefore, for the farmers of this era, short-sightedness was not a derogatory word, but a description of a fact.

In this case, many people may appear less intelligent due to their short-sightedness and even inbreeding.

But this does not mean that their memory is worse than others.

A person who can go to the front line, live with them, chat and communicate with them often, and a monk who can bring people back to life, cure diseases and save lives, and perform "miracles", even if it's just for a few days.

It is enough for them to remember it for a lifetime.

Because they may never meet such a person again in their entire life, and they will often talk about their past "adventures" in the remaining ten or even dozens of years of their lives.

If you spend seven days in a village, you can visit more than fifty villages in a year.

This may seem inefficient, but it is enough to cover tens of thousands of people.

For entrepreneurs who are committed to grassroots rebellion and want to accumulate fame as quickly as possible, this is actually a basic skill.

By then, if we raise our arms and call for help, I can't expect everyone to respond, but it won't be difficult to gather three or four hundred loyal supporters, and then use this as a basis to contact one or two thousand miscellaneous soldiers.

Then even in the Celestial Empire, it would be enough to shake a prefecture and disturb a county.

If thrown into the political environment of Europe, it would make the kings look at it with admiration.

And this is only assuming that the rebel starts from scratch and does it all himself.

Once enough disciples are developed and an organizational system is established, there will be endless possibilities.

"When you get back, don't let the wound get wet. Use a cloth boiled in hot water to rebandage it."

Garys was quite kind, and asked Zoe to pass over some more medicine.

After receiving the medicine, the other party was full of gratitude, thanking God and thanking Garys, and he was almost in tears.

It’s not the other party’s fault, but Garys has really established a solid reputation.

Today is different from when Garys started his business in Jordan. At that time, there was really nothing. To cure diseases and save lives, we could only rely on traditional remedies, mainly to have a comforting effect, to encourage patients to survive while reducing their burden.

Nowadays, some basic medicines have been developed. Although the cost is still high, they can still be used to perform favors.

Allicin, salicylic acid, sulfur powder, penicillin, alcohol, alum...

Although the various difficult and complicated diseases in Garys' eyes are still difficult to cure, they are already quite effective in cleaning wounds and reducing fever.

As a result, he became famous as a miracle doctor.

And these days, healing is strongly associated with monasteries.

If it is not someone from the monastery who does the healing, it is called witchcraft, blasphemy, herbalism, and a gray area of ​​turning a blind eye. But if it is monks or people within the church system who do the healing, it is called pious salvation and the embodiment of God's grace.

As such, Gailis's status was naturally incredibly high. Some people had already spread rumors that Gailis was actually a saint, or that he was possessed by an angel.

When Garys finished his work, Alexandros came up to Garys and told him everything that had happened and the appearance of the person he had seen.

After listening, Gailis also frowned. Although he could understand that look, why did he appear here?
How could there be horseshoes?

Turning around, Gailis said to Arsalan beside him:

"Arsalan, do you know where your ancestors came from?"

Arsalan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said in a positive tone: "Of course it is Oghuz Khan!"

Then he saw Garys smiling, a smile that he could not help but smile.

"A-Anything wrong?"

"No problem, I just lament that the Turks are not used to recording history. Let me ask you again, how many years ago did Oguz Khan live?"

Compared with the decisiveness of the previous question, the latter question caught Arsalan's attention.

After all, he was the child of a tribal leader and had a lot of knowledge about the Turks. But even so, he couldn't answer how many years had passed since Oghuz Khan.

"Probably a few hundred years, no, it should be a few thousand years..."

For the Turkic people of the Oghuz branch, Oghuz Khan is actually like the two emperors Yan and Huang.

According to Turkic legend, Oghuz was born in Central Asia and was the son of the Turkic national leader Karakhan.

He could speak as soon as he was born. After drinking breast milk for the first time, he stopped drinking breast milk and started drinking wine and eating meat. It took him 40 days to grow up and then hunt dragons.

In the Turkic legends there is Oghuz identification.

Oghuz Khan conquered all directions, and the territory of the Khanate covered the vast lands of Central Asia, West Asia and North Asia.

The Uighur heroic epic "The Story of Oghuz" is also a written record of this myth.

But compared to the relatively clearer "Records of the Grand Historian" or the clearer "Bible".

Regarding the myth of Oghuz, the records of the time when it occurred are quite vague, and it is impossible to determine the specific year.

Garys did have a guess, or rather a possibility.

That is, Oghuz Khan may be the Maodun recorded in the history of the Celestial Empire. Many details of the two are quite similar.

For example, Oghuz killed his own father, Maodun also killed his own father, etc...

There are indeed some historical materials that confuse them.

Of course, there is no need to say these things without sufficient evidence.

Gellis went on to say: “But the fact is that what we call Turkic culture existed before Oguz Khan.”

"Take the person you met for example. He probably doesn't acknowledge the existence of Oghuz Khan, and he speaks a Turkic language."

Pan-Turkism is a very broad concept. Its historical origins can be traced back to 200 or 400 BC according to later research.

Whether it is the Xiongnu, Dingling, Xianbei, Rouran, or Khitan, they all have some connection with the Turks.

Of course, it was not until the 6th century AD that the Turkic Khanate truly established a clear Turkic concept.
