The former and now overlord of the grassland was also delighted to hear the news.

Think that things are not too bad and the situation is not too dire.

Such surrender and allegiance may not be a bad option.

However, Temujin was still unwilling to give up the power in his hands. After discussing with his confidants, he expressed his willingness to submit to Daqian in the form of a letter. He was willing to give up the right to govern and finance, and only wanted to keep the military power.

The officials of the Honglu Temple were relatively indifferent to this.

I thought to myself that you, the Mongols, are just grasshoppers in autumn now. After Daqian has rested and recuperated, you won't be able to jump around for much longer. By then, once Daqian sends troops to attack, the Mongols will still belong to Daqian. So, what qualifications do you have to bargain here?

The Western Xia, Liao and Jin dynasties were no exceptions, so how could you, the Mongols, be an exception?

However, despite this, the officials of the Honglu Temple naturally had no right to decide whether this matter was right or wrong. They could only submit it to their superiors for the decision.

That is the memorial that Fang Han is holding in his hand now.

After taking a quick look, I shook my head secretly.

Just as those officials of the Honglu Temple thought, there were no exceptions in other countries, so why should you, the Mongols, be an exception?

Pressing the button of disapproval, Fang Han took out other memorials.

Similar to the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty, it is followed by relevant memorials from Tubo and Dali.

It's also a cliché.

The two countries are now maintaining an attitude of utter submission, speaking humbly and showing great respect to Daqian. The former follows the example of other countries in sending princesses and noble ladies as tribute, while the latter, although it has not presented princesses and noble ladies, has repeatedly increased the amount of tribute. Over the past few times, each time has become more expensive than the last, and there is a tendency for the tax treasury to be overdrawn.

If Daqian had not refused to accept foreign tributes and would have given roughly corresponding returns for gifts and goods, the Dali Kingdom would probably have had a fiscal deficit.

Fang Han still shook his head.

Great attitude.

But no.

Dali had no other choice but to submit completely.

It doesn't mean that you can avoid it by having a good attitude.

To be honest, Fang Han was quite grateful that Dali had repeatedly positioned himself correctly in the previous two simulations, so he looked at him with some respect and planned to give him some respect.

Otherwise, in reality, the country most likely to be conquered first should not be Western Xia, but Dali.

Because this place is too close to Fang Han's base camp, the barefoot, eagle, and cloud pattern groups are also spread all over the place. It can be said frankly that even when he just started the army, as long as he wanted, he could come and crush us at any time.

The other party has no possibility of resistance at all.

Even more so now.

Most of the grassroots in Dali have been eaten up by his people.

Now it's just a matter of maintaining calm on the surface.

In this regard, Fang Han could only comment that the Dali royal family was both sensible and not sensible enough.

but......

Also normal.

This is different from the previous two times after all. In the second round of simulation, only the Six Meridians Divine Sword Sutra was paid, and nothing was actually lost. In the third round of simulation, most of the martial arts inheritance was paid. It is indeed precious, but compared with the country, it is far inferior.

It's natural to be undecided.

Of course, we cannot say that Dali is short-sighted. Unless any other country is forced into a desperate situation, who would be willing to give up the power in their hands?

The reason why Xixia, Liao, and Jin were willing to do so was that they had been beaten to the point where only a part of them was left, and they were almost unable to control the areas under their rule. They had no choice but to give up their country names and positions and surrender. The Mongols had lost most of their elite forces to Daqian. After knowing the huge gap, didn't Temujin still hope to retain a certain degree of military autonomy?

Although Dali is now extremely respectful of Daqian, after all, no real war has broken out. Although the country's destiny is shaky, it can still survive. In this situation, it is normal for the Dali royal family to feel lucky, or to have an ostrich mentality.

Chapter 566: Main Source! Ming Cult, Ming Zun! Deification!

Putting down the two memorials and taking a pen to review them, Fang Han took the other side of the letter and secret letter to look at them.

After the founding of Daqian, Fang Han mainly used several channels to understand the situation in the areas under his jurisdiction.

First, there are the written reports submitted by local government offices at each meeting, as well as the memorials compiled and summarized by the central government departments. These reports cover the situation in major areas such as Daqian's finances, public security, and people's livelihood. This is relatively official data, comprehensive but too general, and details are inevitably missed.

Next are the military camps stationed in various places, which will also report military intelligence, military construction, and terrain features one by one.

Then, there is Daqian's inspection and supervision. Special inspection officials will go to various places to inspect the administration of officials and people's livelihood, which will corroborate the previous two.

Finally, there is the spy system transformed from the sect's internal intelligence department. The intelligence information submitted here will be more comprehensive and detailed.

By combining these four, one can basically know everything about Daqian from top to bottom and in every aspect.

What Fang Han is checking right now is the intelligence information reported by the spy system.

Of course, he doesn't read all of it. No matter how energetic he is, it is impossible for him to deal with the extremely complex, tedious and detailed intelligence from all over the world every day. There will be special people responsible for screening out useful information or information that needs special attention for him.

After a rough look, there was basically nothing big going on, but there were two more special things that aroused Fang Han's interest.

"Mingjiao, Mingzun..."

Fang Han had a subtle expression, as if he was thinking about something.

The first of these two events was that the Ming Cult rebelled in the Tubo and Gaochang Uighur areas, captured many places, and caused considerable unrest in the local area. The other was a small trend that arose in the Daqian territory, which was also related to the Ming Cult, and also had something to do with the Daqian emperor.

However, the Ming Cult is a large sect, and its teachings are naturally full of mythological colors.

All the believers in the sect respect a supreme being called Ming Zun.

This [Ming Zun], also known as [Da Ming Zun], is the ruler of the world of light. He is both the god of fire and the god of goodness. He is the savior god who burns away all darkness, corruption, and sin, saves the world from great suffering, and brings a world of great light to the world.

This naturally had nothing to do with Fang Han, but the followers of the Ming Cult clearly compared him directly with this "Ming Zun".

Respect and regard him as the god of [Mingzun].

Although this trend did not cause much waves among the people once it emerged, it provided great guidance to those who originally came from the Ming Cult.

It seems that a consensus has been formed.

The wise master is the emperor! The emperor is the wise master!

Huang Rong and Cheng Lingsu had discussed the matter in detail. Seeing Fang Han's expression slightly strange, she stood up and walked over to him. After taking a quick look, she smiled and said, "Brother Han, you are the reincarnation of the Ming Zun~"

This was originally a joke, but after thinking about the teachings of the Ming Cult, he couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder those Ming Cult members revere you as the Ming Zun. You save the suffering, fight evil and promote good, and bring great enlightenment to the world. It really is quite similar and consistent with what we have been doing since we started our army. And..."

There were also many coincidences, such as the symbol of the Daqian army - the red flame flag, which corresponded to the "holy fire" of the Mingjiao doctrine. Another example was the strange phenomenon of the sun and the moon appearing at the same time during the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, with the sun and the moon representing "brightness". When these Mingjiao followers saw it, they thought:

Great! How could this not be Ming Zun!?

Even Huang Rong couldn't help but look strange when she thought about it carefully.

Cheng Lingsu took a look and was also a little surprised, but like Huang Rong, she felt that this matter was somewhat unexpected, but also reasonable.

Brother Fang is like this...

It's hard not to be seen as a god.

Even those closest to them have similar views, let alone those in the Ming Cult?

Not to mention them, there are many people nowadays who regard Brother Fang as a god.

The situation of the Ming Cult is actually not surprising if you look closely.

Huang Rong finished her joke and took the letter. After reading it carefully, a look of deep thought gradually settled on her face. "If this were just a common custom among the people, it would be fine. But it happens in many barracks as well. Brother Han, do you think this matter should be dealt with or not?"

"Ignore it." Fang Han pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly. If it were a normal dynasty, they would naturally control this tendency of deification. Although it was beneficial to the emperor to a certain extent, this excessive deification tendency could easily backfire. Once a disaster occurred in the world, it would inevitably shake the emperor's authority. Moreover, a mature dynasty system would definitely reject this kind of alienation because the disadvantages far outweighed the advantages.

but......

Daqian is different.

First, within the Daqian system, loyalty to Emperor Fang Han is extremely high, and the lower limit of loyalty is fixed.

On the other hand, Emperor Fang Han's rule over Daqian is beyond common sense! The weight of his power is far beyond the reach of other emperors! Even the founding monarchs are the same.

Daqian's rebellion was not just about overthrowing the Song court and expanding territory, but about completely changing the world and reforming the old ways!

He eliminated all the old forces such as aristocratic families, landlords, and powerful people, and rebuilt the grassroots system. His authority was able to reach the lowest level, and with one order, he could mobilize people from all over Daqian.

Throughout history, who has been able to reach this level?

The emperor's authority and power had reached such a level that the disadvantages of deification were insignificant.

Second, Emperor Fang Han, to a certain extent, is actually no different from a "god".

While he admitted he was still far from being a "god," in today's context, being called a "god" or "immortal" wouldn't be a problem. In the 1.0 martial arts world, the Shaolin monk's ability to subtly create a three-foot-long wall of energy was met with astonishment, often considered the incarnation of a bodhisattva or a reincarnation of a diamond. Even Zhang Zhenren of Wudang was known as a "hidden immortal" by both the common people and the imperial court, and was revered as a deity.

The two martial arts masters, in the field of martial arts, can only be called the [Internal Force Realm]. By analogy, why can't he, who is in the [True Essence Realm], be called a god or immortal?

In other words, in the eyes of the world, this is not deification, but a fact.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 567: Is it possible to deify and acquire the gift of life?

If this is the case, then why should we stop it?

Could it be that his cultivation level in the [True Yuan Realm] is fake?

Fang Han shook his head secretly.

To put it bluntly, with the authority, power and strength he possesses, if he were to become tyrannical and cause chaos in the world, it would be difficult for those under his rule to rebel, because it's too flawed!

All natural disasters and man-made calamities must be subdued in the face of the power of the [True Yuan Realm].

The kind where a rebellion probably won't even start.

Even if the influence of the talents of [Powerful Leader] and [Founder of a Sect] is removed, who would dare to cause trouble as long as he shows his power?

The disadvantages of deification apply to normal emperors. Some of them are similar to being unworthy of the position. You do not have the ability but carry the people's fanatical expectations. Once natural disasters or man-made disasters occur, you, the emperor who is revered as a god, have neither the ability to stop it nor any positive effect. Naturally, you will suffer backlash, which will greatly shake your authority and even threaten your own throne.

10 But Fang Han is different, because he really possesses the power that is enough to be called a "god" or "immortal god" in the eyes of the world.

One person can suppress the world!

In this situation, backlash? What backlash? Who dares to backlash?

Even if the world is plagued by disasters, no one would dare to use the theory of divine connection to question his authority.

Whether from the perspective of personal strength or the strength of Daqian's rule, this deification has no negative impact on Fang Han. In this way, it is beneficial and harmless, so there is naturally no need to deal with it.

It would be better to say that Fang Han actually had certain expectations for this matter and even took the initiative to add fuel to the fire.

During the heavenly offering ceremony of his enthronement, he took the initiative to appear before the crowd and project visions, which also vaguely reflected this intention.

In fact, the Ming Cult's [Ming Zun] has at most one or two million followers who believe in him.

However, his performance at the enthronement ceremony was clearly visible within a hundred miles of Jinling, and countless people in the entire Jiangnan region regarded him as a god.

Looking around the area under the rule of Daqian, there were actually many such cases.

One was the influence of the leaked rumors, and the other was that living conditions were greatly improved under Daqian's rule, and the people spontaneously supported and respected him.

In comparison, the impact of the strange phenomena of the sun and the moon is actually relatively small. It may be a huge shock to the Jiangnan region, especially the Jinling area, but for the people in other areas, even if the rumors spread, it is nothing more than listening to them and talking about them with relish. It is difficult to say how shocking it is without seeing it with one's own eyes. What really makes them worship them like gods is the real changes in life.

Since Daqian launched his rebellion, the lives of the people under his rule have been turned upside down.

Gradually, the minimum needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation were guaranteed.

And it's getting better.

As a result, he, the Emperor of Daqian, was naturally treated with the utmost respect.

Treating them as gods is very normal.

Throughout history, there has never been a lack of cases where people were honored and worshipped for their contributions to the people.

People all over the world will not be stingy in offering incense and sacrifices.

The tangible changes that Daqian brought to them were so huge, how could they not be grateful?

Letters and secret letters from various places also described the customs of the people and recorded this incident.
