"This issue of the Papal Meridian. I think the Spanish and Portuguese misunderstood the meaning of Alexander VI. Alexander VI meant that the responsibility of spreading the gospel of the Lord and protecting the believers of the Lord was handed over to Spain and Portugal. The monarch was not the one who gave those lands and people to Spain and Portugal.”

The Pope's father was forced to do nothing by the Duke of Orleans, who didn't know whether he should be regarded as the daughter or son of the Heavenly Father. He had to rack his brains to make up for the money for Alexander VI, who probably received money from the Spanish and Portuguese. It is really unjust to let the Pope named Borgia take it away, and it is up to him, Innocent XI, to clean up the mess!

"Pope, do you mean that Pope Alexander VI gave Spain and Portugal the power to carry out armed missions outside Europe? That is, the massacres carried out by the Spaniards in the New World and Luzon were authorized by the Holy See With permission?”

The person who made such serious accusations against the Holy See and the Pope was, of course, the Ming Dynasty’s ambassador to European countries, Jia Guozhu. He was not a Catholic and had little respect for the Heavenly Father. He was certainly more daring to speak out than the duke dressed as a woman.

Pope Innocent XI was so angry at Jia Guozhu's words that his blood pressure increased, but he still had to endure it!What else can I do if I can’t bear it?Can we still organize a crusade to attack the Ming Dynasty?
"No, absolutely not." Pope Innocent XI calmly tried to maintain a sacred and solemn appearance. "How could the Holy See give such authorization to the Spanish and Portuguese? This is absolutely not possible. .”

"But the Holy See gave the Spanish and Portuguese the authorization to preach in lands outside Europe!" Jia Guozhu continued to say aggressively, "And they used this authorization to invade, massacre and enslave in the New World and Luzon. But the Holy See never Therefore, when Spain and Portugal were punished, neither the monarchs of the two countries nor related personnel were punished, nor were Spain and Portugal excommunicated, nor were they even condemned. Does this mean that the Holy See is condoning their sins! Christians are Spanish and Portuguese accomplices?”

unacceptable
The Pope was almost furious!
Although the current Pope no longer has the authority of the past, in Western Europe, everyone has to give him three points of criticism. Where can anyone point their noses and scold him like this?Thinking of this, the Pope gave the cross-dressing duke a fierce look again - If you hadn't protected him, he had offended me, the representative of Heavenly Father on earth, would he still want to leave Rome alive?
After being glared at by the Pope, the Duke of Orleans could only reluctantly speak: "Pope Pope, given that Spain and Portugal abused the power granted to them by Pope Alexander VI, and caused serious consequences, committing serious crimes. , tarnished the glory of Christ and brought shame to the Catholic Church. You should declare the Papal Meridian invalid, withdraw the patronage granted to Spain and Portugal, and then judge the rule of Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands in the New World, Luzon, East Indies and other colonies. It’s anti-Christ!”

This cross-dressing duke is even more outrageous than that pagan ambassador from the Ming Dynasty!Pope Innocent XI thought to himself: Are you teaching me, the father of the Pope, how to do things?Who is the Pope?Is it you or me?
The Pope said calmly: "I cannot make a ruling because of the unilateral accusations made by France and Ming Dynasty. I must listen to the defense opinions of the defendants, that is, Spain and Portugal, before I can make a ruling. As for the Dutch in the East Indies The behavior of the Netherlands has nothing to do with the Holy See, because the Netherlands is a Protestant country, and their colonial behavior in the East Indies has never been authorized by the Holy See."

"Father Pope," said the Duchess Philippe I, "time is very tight now. There is no time to wait for the Spanish and Portuguese to arrive. The verdict must be made immediately."

Could it be that Juan Jose's army is coming?
The Pope was very happy, but he still asked calmly: "Are the Spaniards marching towards Rome?"

The cross-dressing duke shook his head: "Juan Jose has not taken any action yet. Maybe he is waiting for me to leave?"

"Waiting for you to leave?"

"He dared to march only after I left!" said the cross-dressing duke, "Pope Pope, don't you think that Juan Jose will go to war with France for your sake? Although Spain has been preparing for war in the past two years , but everyone knows that their progress is very slow. Because there is no money!”

The Pope was speechless by this cross-dressing man and had nothing to say, because he knew that the Duke of Orleans was not wrong.It was impossible for Juan José to go to war with Louis XIV in Italy in order to save the pope. Especially since his Austrian relatives were busy defending against the Turkish invasion that might happen at any time.With the current strength of the Spanish Army, fighting such a war is tantamount to dying in vain.

And Rome is not that important now. The city is depressed, the economy is in decline, the population is not much left, and the treasury of the Holy See is even empty.

Compared to Rome, maybe Milan and Venice in northern Italy are more coveted by the Sun King, right?

However, Louis XIV also needed help from merchants in these two affiliated Italian commercial cities for bulk cargo, so he was not very willing to provoke a war in Italy.

"In that case," the Pope asked again, "why are you so anxious?"

"Dad, it's not that I am anxious, but that my brother, the Sun King of France, is eager to meet you at the newly completed Palace of Versailles, and to ask you whether you will accept the support of the New World's public opinion groups to ascend the throne of the Eastern Emperor of the American Empire!"

It turned out that the New World's Persuasion Group was about to arrive in France, so Louis decided to strike while the iron was hot and tie up the Pope. He should be invited to the Palace of Versailles to crown him, so that he could first become the American emperor and then fight against Britain, Germany and the West. Got it!

The Pope thought that he was indeed a prisoner in Avignon, and asked tremblingly: "Does Louis want to imprison me in Avignon?"

"No, no, no, Dad, please don't get me wrong. The Sun King definitely has no such idea." The Duke of Orleans quickly explained, "Such a thing has been proven by history to be meaningless. And now the Holy Roman Empire is suffering The Ottoman Empire threatens, and war is about to break out. If the Sun King becomes the protector of the Holy See, then he will have to work hard to protect the Holy Roman Empire, so you can definitely rest assured!"

rest assured?

Be sad!
The Pope thought: I am not even qualified to be a prisoner of Avignon?
"Dad," when the Pope was about to cry, his nephew, Cardinal Antonio Otezcalchi, the Holy See's finance minister, had already leaned into his ear and reminded him in a low voice, "You'd better follow It would be great if the Duke of Orleans went to France so that everyone would believe that you were coerced into declaring the Papal Meridian invalid and declaring the colonial aggression of Spain and Portugal to be anti-Christ!”

Makes sense!

The Pope nodded and already had an idea: "Okay. I just want to go to France and discuss with King Louis the issue of aiding the Holy Roman Empire to resist Turkey. In addition, I think after listening to the opinions of the public opinion representatives in the New World , and then decide whether to declare the Papal Meridian invalid and determine whether the actions of Spain and Portugal in the New World and Asia are anti-Christ actions!”

On the issue of how to shirk responsibility, this Innocent XI is really able to draw inferences from one instance to another!
However, the cross-dressing duke doesn't care if he denies it afterwards - as long as he can justly put a crown of American emperor on Louis XIV, that's enough.

If the pope denies it too much afterwards, the French heavenly soldiers can once again march into Rome with their guns!
France, Brittany, Brest.

Today, this French port city next to the Atlantic Ocean is full of people. Everyone has crowded to the pier of Brest Port to watch the excitement.A few days ago, a Galen ship sailed from the Louisiana colony and brought incredible news to the citizens of this city. There was a reed fleet of Indians from North America sailing to Bray. Port Sturt!This is really incredible!
Less than 200 years after the Europeans "discovered" the New World, the Indians had advanced to the point where they could use reed boats to discover Europe?
This morning, even more exciting news came. The Indian reed fleet had arrived outside the port of Brest and was about to enter the port!

As soon as the news spread, all the citizens of Brest rushed to the port to watch the excitement. When they got there, they discovered that Paris had sent important figures, including the splendid Duke Philip I of Orleans, the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, the Marquis de Croissy, There was a representative of the Roman Pope who was a guest at the Palace of Versailles - Cardinal Antonio Otescalchi, the Holy See's finance minister, and Jia Guozhu, Jia Liuye, the Ming Dynasty's ambassador to European countries.

These people arrived at the dock early under the escort of a group of French white flag soldiers. They stretched their necks and looked at three sloops made of reeds with their bows and sterns raised high, and they were following them swayingly. Several French galleys entered the harbor.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but marvel.

"It's really an Indian ship! The shape of the ship looks different from our European ships!"

"It's amazing. What is this ship made of? Can it actually cross the Atlantic Ocean?"

"What a miracle! I originally thought that the Indians were a group of primitive savages, but I didn't expect that they were also a people who could cross the sea!"

"What's so surprising about that? Indians already knew how to sail. Otherwise, where did the Indians in the West Indies come from?"

"that's true"

While the French people who did not know the truth were amazed, Jia Guozhu, who had just returned from his "travel" in Rome and non-stop to the Brittany Peninsula, was also very surprised. How did these three sailboats made of reeds cross the Atlantic Ocean?

So he quietly asked the duke dressed as a woman next to him: "Duke, are those ships really from America?"

The Duke of Orleans also lowered his voice and said to Jia Guozhu: "The Indians on the boat are indeed from America, but they are not Indians from New Spain, but Indians from Quebec who have converted to Christianity. As for the boat, it is the Marquis Vauban. Responsible, he is a genius and always has a way to come up with weird things."

"Those Indians are really willing to support the Sun King as emperor?"

"Of course we French are reasonable. We are different from the Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch! Most of the Indians in Quebec love France."

It turns out that the French did not colonize North America as ruthlessly as the British and Spanish. The focus of their colonization was Quebec, which has a cold climate. The main way to make profits for the colonies was to obtain furs from Indian fishing and hunting tribes, mainly through peaceful means.

It’s not that the French have kinder consciences than the British and Spanish, but that the Indian fishing and hunting people they encountered were more “virtuous” than the Indians engaged in farming in warmer areas. The fishing and hunting people are good at archery and digging. He is very good at trapping, trapping, sap hunting, and survival in the wild.The French don't like colonization very much, and there are only a few people moving there. If they meet a group of Indian fishing and hunting people with strong martial arts, of course it will make them more conscience!

If you have a conscience, you will rob without knowing it. Instead, you will use a knife and glass beads to defraud.
Besides, the robbery is just a one-time deal, and once the robbery is over, it's gone.Fur doesn't grow in the ground, so you still have to go hunting in the old woods.When the Europeans left their colonial strongholds and went into the forests of North America to hunt, they still had to brave the hidden arrows, traps, and sap from the Indian fishermen and hunters who escaped the massacre. They had better have some conscience!
Because the French are a little more prominent in Quebec, they have relatively harmonious relations with the local Indian tribes.The French did not deliberately implement any segregation, so after 80, many Quebec Indians converted to Christianity and began to assimilate with the French. In the process, the French and Indians gave birth to many mixed blood.

Today, the leader of the Indians who is leading an authentic Indian reed expedition fleet from Ashent Island (50 to [-] kilometers away from the Brittany Peninsula) to visit the European continent is such an early convert. A Catholic mixed-race Indian who is over [-] years old this year, his surname is "Shang", not Shang from Shang Kexi, but Shang from Champlain.He was the illegitimate son of Samuel de Champlain, the acting governor of New France appointed by Louis XIII. His mother was a Huron Indian.

Because he was an illegitimate son, he could not use Champlain's surname, so he changed his surname to Champlain.His father passed the name on to him, so he was called Samuel Shang.

Although he is an illegitimate son, his wild father was the acting governor after all, so this Samuel is still considered a prestigious "Indian gentleman" (Indian gentleman) in Quebec. He owns his own manor, is also engaged in the fur business, and is also a Captain of the Quebec Indian Militia.

Therefore, after the Governor-General of New France received the order from Louis to "find Europeanized Indians to persuade him to become emperor," he immediately found Samuel Jean and gave him this glorious task.

And he worked very efficiently. He immediately gathered a group of subordinates, gathered some family members, and assigned tasks to them. Who represented the Aztecs, who represented the Iroquois Confederacy, and who represented the Sioux Confederacy. , who represented the Huron Confederacy, all dressed up, and wrote a petition in French and Latin titled "All Indians respectfully request King Louis XIV of France to be the Eastern Emperor of the American Empire", and then went with The French sailing ship arrived at the port of Brest.

Therefore, today is the second time for him to enter Hong Kong. It can be said that he is familiar with the world.However, he was still a little worried about the reed boat provided by the Marquis of Vauban. Don't worry about it sinking. The water in the Atlantic Ocean is too cold, and it would be tragic if it fell.

Amid worries about shipwreck, the reed boat he was riding finally swayed and sailed into the port of Brest without any danger.

The enthusiastic French people who greeted him in the port gave out cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami!
"Long live the Sun King! Long live France! Long live the American Empire"
