C297 The History of Conspiracy and the Four Layer of Heresy

The Polo family has historically been a prominent member of the Venetian business community. Even though there were many famous families of this level, they would not amount to much in Europe.

In the eyes of the Habsburg family, which ruled over Holy Empire and Spain, the Capi family, which even the Holy See could toy with, and the purple-clothed nobles of the Eastern Empire, the polo family was only a third-rate family.

But in Venice, their family was still a formidable existence.

His father, Niccolo. Polo and his uncle brought the jewellery from Constantinople in 1260 and traveled along the Volga to Genghis Khan, the country of Chencha Khan.

The Son of Arcane Red, Bee Khan, bought all their jewels at double the price.

At this moment Beerbokhan was at war with the Prince of Tatar, and the battle had cut off their return.

They had to take a detour that took them 3000 miles to the city of Baja, now the Uzbek city of Bukhara. and live here for three years.

Once they met an envoy sent to Kublai by Kublai Gou, brother of Kublai, who persuaded the Nicoro brothers to go with them, and in 1266 they arrived in China, a country never visited by European merchants.

For the reason that a large part of the Mongolian population was Christian, the Progenitor Kublai Kublai received them cordially, asked them in detail about the customs, legislation, military, and national governance of the European countries, and asked them about the Holy See.

Kublai decided to send his envoys to the Holy See, and appointed the Nicoro brothers as his envoys. He also solemnly ordered the pope to write a letter to him in Mongolian, requesting him to send a hundred missionaries of the seven arts of rhetoric, logic, grammar, mathematics, astronomy, geography, and music to China to teach Western Christianity and science. He also asked for the gift of some lamp oil before the tomb of Jesus, Jerusalem, for exorcism and for healing.

And he claimed that if European missionaries could prove that Christianity was superior to other religions, Kublai could convert to Christianity.

When Marco Polo was a boy, his father and uncle went to the East to do business. They came to Yuandu (Beijing, 1275) and went to Kublai Khan, who had seen the Mongol Empire, and brought back his letters to the Pope.

When they returned home, Marco Polo pestered them daily to tell the story of their journey to the East.

These stories aroused the great interest of Marco Polo, who resolved to go to China with his father and uncle.

In 1271, when Marco Polo was seventeen, his father and uncle took the Pope's reply and gifts and led Marco Polo and a dozen other companions to the East.

From Venice they entered the Mediterranean Sea, then crossed the Black Sea, passing through the two river basins to the Middle Eastern city of Baghdad, where they could sail straight to China by boat from the mouth of the Persian Gulf.

Although Kublai later died, the mighty Mongol empire collapsed overnight. And what Kublai had said didn't matter.

However, the impact of this exchange was quite far-reaching.

For in the history of Mongolia during the third conquest of the West, the Kingdom of Irkhan, on the Peninsula of Asia Minor, had helped the Order of the Templars to take Damascus and had almost regained control of Christianity in Jerusalem, and in fact this exchange had been very useful.

After all, it was hard to imagine why Kublai would have arranged for the mother, Hulagu, to be married to a Christian man who had come to the Asia Minor Peninsula and founded the Kingdom of Ilkhan, and to engage in a series of ordeal with the Christian world that had almost completely destroyed the Islamic world.

Why did the Knights Templar in the Middle East suddenly come into conflict with the Kingdom of Yilhan after Kublai's death?

Evidently, thanks to Marco Polo, the Pope had succeeded in making the invincible Mongolian cavalry of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries defeat for him a group of Muslims who seemed to him to have committed heinous crimes.

As for Kublai, because of this deal, he gained a strong ally when he was expanding westward — Mongolia fought all the way to the two Orthodox countries of Poland and Hungary, while the Holy Roman Empire, as a brother religion, was in a state of gluttony. It was hard to say whether or not the emperors and electors of Shinro had received the news of the Vatican in advance.

In short, if from a conspiracy theory, the Marco Polo family did play a great role in that era.

However, Wang Xuance didn't know that Xiao Wen knew about Marco Polo and was familiar with the western side of the game.

He coldly snorted and said, "Barbarians are really barbarians. They gather in groups. This Marco Polo, is not a part of China, but a part of the country that belongs to the people.

However, Xiao Wen waved his hand and said, "It is true. "But it's not impossible for me to use it."

Although Marco Polo from this world came to Mongolia, Xiao Wen could still guess the reason.

First of all, Mongolia of this world was still living on the prairie, and it was not the country that had developed both in military and commercial terms.

In comparison, this backward nomadic country was certainly easier to fool than the farming countries of the south.

Relying on the memories of the original owner of this body, Xiao Wen remembered that the merchants of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Song Kingdom ate people without spitting out their bones.

One had to know that this was the Lingnan region in his previous life. That was the only place in China's history where business culture had developed ever since China's entry into China. It had lasted for thousands of years, and even when the Qing Dynasty was closed, there were still places where people could communicate with other countries.

The talent of the merchants in Lingnan was not one whit inferior to that of the Jews who had evolved for two thousand years in a single breath after banning farming.

Therefore, Mongolia does have more opportunities than it does over there.

Moreover, Mongolia was a pan-Christian region.

Looking at Anthony, Xiao Wen suddenly said a few harsh words.

In order to make clear what he wanted to say, he used Latin directly.

He said, "As far as I know, the Mongol faith in Christianity is different from his faith in Catholicism, and it is also different from your Eastern Empire Orthodox Church. The Christianity they believe in, which we call the Scenic Church, is the Nestorian heresy that broke away from the Assyrian Church in your heyday. And the Scenic Church, in fact, was not orthodox in Nestorians. For the Nestorians, the Scenic Church is also heresy. "

"To Catholicism it is heresy in heresy (Orthodox) (Assyrian) in heresy (Nestorianism). Other than the fact that all the heretics on the fourth floor believe in Jesus, I'm afraid they don't have much in common anymore. "

"As the saying goes, heresy is more abominable than heresy. Maybe he should think about whether spending so much time in Mongolia is a waste of time. Shouldn't he come over to Chang An to see if there's any chance for him to develop? "
