Win the Ding 1617

The three major religions have come to this day, naturally they have their own set of skills, such as overturning the clouds and rain, seeing the wind, using the rudder and using the strength to fight, and so on.But there is one thing that everyone has in common, that is, they all agree that the more chaotic they are, the more they will show their talents.Moreover, no matter who is in power to control the situation, as long as he can respect our teachings and help us carry forward, then we can say that he came into being as the times require (God's chosen people, Muhammad's fighters, etc.) .)

In the final analysis, the three major religions in the world can have such a scale, and they have defeated primitive religions such as Zoroastrianism. In fact, it is not because of the profound teachings of these religions, but because they each have their own speculative skills.When Christianity was rising, just as the Roman Empire was going to collapse, Christianity took the opportunity to do both sides.Later, the barbarians invaded and the social order was in chaos. In this chaotic order, the only organization capable of maintaining basic order and crossing national boundaries was Christianity.Therefore, Christianity took advantage of the situation, and with the help of the northern barbarians, it became the largest religion in Europe in one fell swoop.

Islam originated in the deserts of the Middle East, which is already full of tribes, and because of its organizational power across races and national boundaries, it eventually became the largest religion in the Middle East.As for the ability of Buddhist speculation, I have already mentioned a lot in the previous chapters, so I will not describe it in detail.Objectively speaking, each of these religions had progressive significance back then, but this progress itself was based on the premise that the defenders of order at the national level were weak.After modern times, the state's control power increased greatly, and the influence of all religions plummeted, especially the French Revolution, which directly established the principle that religion should not intervene in the field of public education. Since then, Europe has truly escaped from the dark middle ages.

but.Right now, Catholicism and Protestantism are fighting for believers and parishes on the European continent. Such a struggle will inevitably affect those who believe in God in Nanzhong.

However, in their view, now is the best time for the glory of God to expand its territory in Nanzhong!

With this in mind, two people who are closely related to the Catholic Church lead a group of immigrants from Europe, watching their relatives and friends, old students and children on the pier.He was led by the deacons of the customs to go through the entry and quarantine procedures.

"This is some clothes, food, and daily necessities collected by our church. Please send them to the new immigrants from the Thai and Western countries." A church deacon under Alfonso led a dozen handymen to carry a dozen loads The clothes, fresh melons and fruits, soap toilet paper, and a change of clothes are discussed in a low voice with the person on duty at the customs.

These items are the physical manifestation of the great mind and fraternity complex of Catholics displayed by Alfonso and others.Although things are not considered valuable, for those who have already been extremely exhausted physically and mentally after drifting at sea for several months, they are undoubtedly a timely help.

"Okay! For Mr. Kalao's sake, things can be sent in. But your people can't go in! There are laws on it. Right now they are in quarantine, and they are not allowed to contact outsiders!" Galileo, nodding and smiling in the distance, nodded in agreement.

Because of the hot and humid climate and the large number of water surfaces in the South Central region, there are naturally more diseases caused by climate and mosquitoes.In addition to strengthening preventive measures such as vaccination, a strict isolation and quarantine system is implemented for new immigrants to avoid epidemics and outbreaks.

Seven or eight customs men in burqas took the burdens from the church men.It was loaded into a carriage that was parked not far away, and there was a rumbling sound.The iron wheels of the carriage crushed the criss-crossing rails on the pier and gradually disappeared from Galileo and others' sight.

The people who came to welcome them gradually dispersed, and only Galileo and Alfonso were a little bit unsatisfied, "Father, why don't you go to the next house to talk? I have Turkish coffee sent by the Duke."

"Oh! There is such a rare thing, so naturally I have to bother with a cup!"

Ever since, one after the other.The two people's carriage came to Galileo's residence!

Galileo's daily diet naturally made Father Alfonso, who is a servant of God, full of praise. (It seems a bit hypocritical again. As a senior Catholic clergyman, it seems that he has no resistance to gourmet food, mansions, luxury daily necessities, beautiful silk robes, beautiful women, and handsome boys. You should remember (Not long ago, a senior figure in the Vatican resigned because of the exposure of the child molestation scandal.)

Galileo's method of brewing coffee is almost as unexpected as his experiments in the laboratory.The precise grasp of time and heat is as precise as his calculation of the movement of the sun, moon and stars.

The small charcoal stove used by Fujian immigrants to cook Kung Fu tea can't stop the tiny flames from slowly cooking the carefully roasted coffee beans, allowing the bursts of aroma in the air to change from subtle to rich.

The two Tianfang female slaves who were waiting on the side were carefully observing the situation of the coffee, unaware that Father Alfonso's eyes beside him were carefully observing their soft, slender waist and plump chest.

"Sure enough, you are a damned heathen!"

Although the eyes are eating ice cream on the extremely enchanting bodies of the two Tianfang orchids, some vulgar speculations are in my mind about the happy scenes when my old friend Galileo and the Tianfang orchids are together these days, but looking at The two Tianfang orchids were wearing small waistcoats that just covered their breasts, and thin gauze skirts around their waists. Against the backdrop of a long lake green silk skirt, their slender legs were looming, while their plump and flat bellies were completely uncovered. Blocked from the outside.

This kind of attire is extremely inconsistent with the believers who believe in Huda, the only Allah proclaimed by Muhammad. The revealing clothes are completely opposite to the commoner women who are wrapped in blouses, lest they are not enough enchanting and tempting.

But, who made Li Shouhan a secular monarch?Under his rule, no matter who you profess to believe in, you must file a record with the government, and only after review can you build churches and temples and spread teachings legally.Otherwise, it will be regarded as a cult.

The coffee drips drop by drop along the glass-fired pipe in a delicate silver coffee pot.

Two pagan female slaves, one holding a silver pot, and the other holding a small cup as thin and delicate as an eggshell on a silver plate, tipped the silver pot.The dark and silky coffee was poured into the small cup from the pot, and a tangy aroma wafted into Alfonso's nostrils, refreshing him.

"I don't know what it would be like for these two heretics to wear the ice silk stockings made by His Royal Highness? Are they as devilishly tempting as Satan in hell?" Enjoying the service of the heretics, let Ah Father Fonso felt as relieved as if he had regained the holy land of Jerusalem, feeling that he had the glory that the Crusaders had been pursuing.

The coffee was brewed extremely strong and fragrant.Served in a holy porcelain cup as thin as paper, as bright as a mirror, as sound as a chime, as moist as jade.The combination of gourmet food and beautiful utensils reached the extreme, and there were two pagan beauties waiting on the scene.It made Father Alfonso quite dazzled, as if he didn't know where he was.

Galileo, who was sitting opposite him across a small table, gently turned the holy porcelain coffee cup in his hand, and the rich coffee aroma radiated from the cup with the movement of his hand, mixing with the two heavenly orchids. The bursts of fragrance, the scent of flowers and plants blooming in the courtyard, make people feel ecstatic.

The two sipped slowly, as if intoxicated by the aroma of coffee.

Under the cover of drinking coffee.Trying to gather his mind, Alfonso began to carefully look at Galileo's huge study and studio in front of him.Adjacent to the two walls, there are huge bookshelves made of mahogany, filled with various books and work notes. Judging from the printing quality and damaged edges of those books, Alfonso can effortlessly My next conclusion, these are the books that were banned in Europe by decree of the Holy See!Heresy codified by those blatantly godless fellows!

As a devout Catholic.He actually openly displayed these European banned books in his collection in front of a priest in his study.Alfonso couldn't help feeling a little annoyed!If this was changed to somewhere in Europe, he could directly reprimand Galileo for forgetting the teachings of God, and then hand Galileo over to the religious court. First, he gave a good teaching that touched the soul, and then threw him on the stake, but .You can't do that now even if God is standing by.

Galileo is Li Shouhan's favorite, daring to touch his finger is no less than declaring war on Nanzhong.But if you don’t say anything, it doesn’t seem to be the case, so Alfonso smiled and said: “The merciful and great God is really omnipotent. Although your hometown is constantly fighting and people’s lives are difficult, the merciful God is the son of the Lord.” Min has arranged a peaceful paradise in the east. From the looks of it, you should have regarded this place as your new hometown long ago, right?"

It's a pity that Alfonso miscalculated. Galileo was not the kind of shrewd person who could know the meaning of the song by listening to the strings. Therefore, he didn't hear the gun stick in the priest's words, but just took it as a kind of chatting and teasing.So Galileo nodded and said, "Yes, God's kindness and greatness are everywhere. Before I came to Nanzhong from my hometown, I thought it would be a disguised exile, but when I came here, instead of being abused, I was saved. Among other things, the mischievous students in my school were a great inspiration to me. In the past, I couldn't figure out whether the earth's rotation around the sun could highlight God's greatness or the opposite. Later, one of my students It may sound unacceptable to change the name of a person to a dog and a dog to a person, but in fact, a person is still a person and a dog is still a dog. Similarly, no matter who revolves around whom, God is still God.”

Galileo even showed gratitude and tears in his eyes after finishing speaking, and he went on to say: "Although the student is a pagan, God has given everyone wisdom equally. The lamb leads to the right path. God is everywhere and guides the people who have God in their hearts. Therefore, I believe that as long as we work hard to guide, Nanzhong will be bathed in the glory of God forever."

Father Alfonso couldn't help being really dumb. He said in his heart that he had seen someone so stupid, but he had never seen someone as stupid as you. You damn student obviously turned a corner and scolded you for your elm head.But seeing that Galileo was so happy, it was inconvenient to expose it, so he said casually: "Yes, there are already many churches in Nanzhong, so it can be said that the situation is very good."

As a result, these words made Galileo frowned, and it took him a long time to say: "I can't talk about this. I really feel ashamed of God. Although I have tried my best, General Li Shouhan still refuses to surprise God. He even And made disrespectful remarks about God."

Alfonso hurriedly tried to change the subject when he heard it, thinking how could you speak ill of Li Shouhan on his territory, but Galileo ignored him at all, and said to himself: "He said. God is the same as gods and Buddhas, and belief has If you don’t believe it, you don’t have it. He also said that since he put on the armor, he has relied on the army for fighting and money for business, but he has never relied on God. Therefore, he can’t control others’ belief, but he absolutely doesn’t believe it.”

Father Alfonso was very calm about this. As a clergyman, he knew very well why the so-called Holy See could speak for God.In the final analysis, none of the governments of European countries does not need the help of the Holy See.The kingship of European countries is generally not strong, and the princes of various places are separated, and it is difficult to guarantee financial and taxation. The Holy See is a cross-border organization. It has a relatively stable tithe tax and also colludes with the Jews to lend usury.The Nanzhong government is unified and stable, with sufficient fiscal and tax revenue.Instead of borrowing money from the Holy See, there is spare money to restrain religion.So in the final analysis, the difference between Nanzhong and Europe is the difference between the gun barrel and the money bag. If European countries had such a hard gun barrel and such a big money bag as Li Shouhan, I am afraid that they would not listen to the call.

Even to a large extent, the pope's scepter is far inferior to the guns and money bags in the hands of those monarchs!

Although the power of the Roman Catholic Church claims to come from God, it is supreme.The legitimacy of the power of the kings must be recognized by the Holy See, if they dare to despise the edict issued by the Holy See.Then His Majesty the Pope can use the law of breaking the door (a harsh punishment for excommunication) to deal with him. You must know that the terrible law of breaking the door, also known as excommunication, is actually a reminder that all kings are afraid of.Once His Majesty the Pope excommunicates someone, it means expulsion, dethrone and exile from the will of God, and all the subjects of the king can justifiably cease to be loyal to him!Both the army and the courtiers will be renounced!Pope Gregory VII once used the law of breaking the door to deal with Henry IV.The duke of Bavaria, king of Germany, and emperor of the Holy Roman Empire stood barefoot for three days in the ice and snow of Karosha to express his guilt.

The Canossa Confession Event is a key battle to determine that the religious power is greater than the imperial power.Even Henry IV, Duke of Bavaria, King of Germany, and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, lowered his high head to the Holy See.However, this Henry IV was also a figure like Goujian. After begging for a compromise and humbly regaining power, he immediately used iron and blood to consolidate his power.

When Gregory VII realized that the situation had changed, he was about to excommunicate Henry IV again.The full-fledged Henry IV even announced the depose of the Pope, and appointed a hostile Pope Clement III, and then led a large army into Rome, forcing Gregory VII to abandon the city and flee south.Ask for help from Robert Giscard, the Norman leader entrenched in Sicily.As a result, tigers are driven out by the front door, and wolves are entered by the back door.The Normans did drive Henry IV out, but they also sacked Rome and left Pope Gregory VII with a tragic death in exile.

How can you hope that the Duke Li in front of you can't do what the European monarchs can do?Do you think that the man who was born in the manger has a higher chance of being resurrected than the chance of making Duke Lee believe in God and become a devout believer?Alfonso sneered in his heart.

Of course, the risks and rewards are equal. Nanzhong's dungeon is certainly difficult, but if it is won, the rewards are definitely higher than other places.So you should give it a try anyway.Therefore, although Alfonso's toes did not believe that Galileo could have any good ideas, he still said politely: "You and I are both God's people, and we should all contribute to the promotion of God's brilliance, so, no matter what Don’t care what General Li Shouhan says now. As long as we continue to work hard, I believe he will change his mind. Don’t forget that the Roman Empire also rejected God, but in the end he was persuaded and the emperor became God’s servant. I believe , Nanzhong is the new Rome, and you, too, can become a saint."

Hearing these words, Galileo couldn't help but think deeply. He took a sip of coffee and thought for a while before he said: "Speaking of Rome, I think of one thing. The reason why God's light shines all over Europa later is the key. One of the incidents is that when the barbarians invaded, our Catholic Church actively mediated and mediated and united various countries to resist the barbarians. Now there are many rebellions in Java under the rule of General Li Shouhan. Those damned sultans don’t think about how to be grateful, but attack everywhere Duke Li's army and officials, I wonder if we can form a militia among the believers, which is the same force as the watchmen under Duke Li's rule, to help General Li Shouhan defeat those rebels he believes in. In this way, the general will You will not feel that God is useless, and you will trust and rely on us from now on.”

Alfonso almost wanted to jump up and snatch the new firecracker on the wooden shelf by the wall, and shoot Galileo in the head, thinking to himself that you really are an out-and-out nerd, and the idea of ​​beheading like this is you People who spend all day in class and in the study can figure it out!Father Alfonso has stayed in Nanzhong for more than ten years, and he is quite familiar with the system of the Nanyue Army and Li Shouhan himself. He knows that what Li Shouhan hates the most is any kind of force that becomes a potential threat to rival him, let alone religion. Private army?If Galileo's suggestion was followed, the only thing Father Alfonso could be sure of was that Li Shouhan would definitely send a large army to suppress it, and he might even declare Catholicism a cult.But still the same sentence, this nerd cannot be offended, so Father Alfonso said: "This suggestion is very good, but God's people should use the truth to submit to heretics instead of relying on weapons. Therefore, the militia's approach may not be correct. It will satisfy God, so it is safer for us to go deep into cities and villages to preach as we have done in the past."

Although Alfonso tried his best to be tactful, Galileo was still very dissatisfied. He argued: "Although God mainly convinces people by the truth, he will also punish those who are stubborn. For example. Now those who believe in Buddhism and Hu Da heretics kill people and set fire to churches everywhere. They have long violated the dignity of God. Treating them and telling people the truth. Moreover, those Calvinist heretics have already acted, and they formed What kind of Protestant National Defense Army has begun to fight against Islamists, and has been awarded by the local government of Java. Can we, as Orthodox believers of the Roman Catholic Church, lag behind those Calvin heretics?"

Father Alfonso didn't pay much attention to other words, but when he heard that the Calvinist heretics who were closely related to the Dutch started to act, not only formed a militia, but also participated in the battle to quell the rebellion, Father Alfonso's eyes immediately flashed. Shine out.He asked in surprise: "Is this true?" Galileo replied puzzledly: "Of course it is true. What's the problem?"

Alfonso laughed when he heard the words, and regardless of Galileo, he got up and went to the door to call his servant.Seeing him smiling happily, the servant asked puzzledly, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Alfonso did not answer directly, but said seriously to the servant: "You go and run for me, you go to the church and inform the believers that they will all come to the church this Sunday, and I have something to announce."

The servant asked, "What's the matter?"

"You take my name card to the inspection department in Hue and ask them to send someone to the scene to maintain order and prepare to receive weapons."

"Let all believers send their weapons to the church, and then I will contact the government to receive these weapons. At the same time, I will announce to believers that Catholicism is a peaceful sect. It is forbidden for anyone to hide weapons, let alone organize or participate in any violent organization."

Galileo, who was standing next to him, was quite puzzled by his actions. According to the laws issued by the Southern Guangdong Army, all residents who live legally and pay taxes have the right to hold weapons.Moreover, many believers belong to the kind of people who have received military training and can store their own armor and weapons at home according to the law of Nanzhong. Now this Alfonso wants to hand over all these weapons with all his brains?What is the meaning of this?

"Professor, let me ask you, if there is a fire in the city at this time, His Excellency the Duke is not in the city. Would you stay at home and guard your house with your neighbors to prevent the fire from spreading to your house, or go to the street to help put out the fire? "

"This?" Galileo clearly felt that there was a mystery hidden in Alfonso's words, but he couldn't guess what it was for a while. (to be continued..)
