Chapter 1395 Liberation
Some denominations of Catholicism don't eat blood, and most denominations don't care.

The main reason lies in the interpretation of the scriptures by the bishops in various places. The Old Testament is suitable for Judaism and prohibits eating blood, while the New Testament has a wider spread and does not care much about Jews, so blood is allowed.

Of course, this is only in theory. In formal terms, believers in the New Testament live in the grace of Jesus Christ, not under the laws of the Jews in the Old Testament.

However, when it comes to local monasteries, it still depends on the cultural level and historical changes of the monks.

The Anglican Church in England is one of the most uninformed. They oppose it simply for the sake of opposition. I don’t know why I oppose it. Anyway, as long as it is Catholic, it is wrong.

Anyway, monks will find reasons for all actions from the scriptures.

During this period of time, Protestantism in England began with the choice of Henry VIII. It was not an independent sect, but a political ideology chosen by the English royal family.

Its central idea means that the highest power of interpretation of the Church of England is in the hands of the king, not controlled by the Holy See, and it is more to avoid the existence of religion threatened by Philip of Spain.

As for the conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism, mainly in the interpretation of doctrine, the Church of England does not care.

Their own monks can't figure out how to explain the doctrine. They think that the Protestant interpretation of this sentence is good, and they can use it; they think that the Catholic interpretation of this sentence is good, and they can also use it.

Originally, there are many inconsistencies in the Old Testament, and there are also many inconsistencies in the New Testament; because the scriptures were written in a specific environment, giving the methodology to guide the ignorant in the specific environment at that time.

But there is never a shortage of people who take meaning out of context in this world. Once it is taken out of context, the scriptures will become unreliable.

Therefore, there needs to be a Holy See to make the final interpretation, using a set of even more unreliable theories to explain the unreliable scriptures taken out of context.

However, in today's religious reformation, churches from all over the world are scrambling for the right to interpret, which makes interpretations more and more mixed.

In fact, this is also the reason why all kinds of cults and heresies were born on the basis of Christian scriptures in the next few hundred years, because a set of methodologies lost the ability to keep pace with the times after the environment changed, and the younger generations could only explain it mechanically based on the scriptures. After all, it must end up like this.

Books are dead, people are alive, and Old Joe in Pooley County has done a good job of this.

When Spain was strong, he was a Catholic monk in England. When England’s Protestantism was strong, he became the most loyal believer of Protestantism. Whoever believes in whom.

Taking advantage of the blasting king's lack of time to deal with sect affairs, Lao Qiao became the ultimate interpreter of the belief of Dragon and Tiger Taoist Monarch in Puli County. He often carried scriptures of various schools and sects in his Taoist robe, and sometimes he didn't feel embarrassed if he took the wrong one to the believers , is the ultimate second-skinned face who can hold the cross and read the infinite deity.

For Lao Qiao, the most spiritual person now is the Taoist Dragon and Tiger, who spreads miracles every day and every night.

What is a miracle?

On the day of the rebellion in the city, the old bishop hid more than a dozen muskets under the chairs in the church. He took two believers and tied the old bishop with a rope, and he became the new bishop.

Afterwards, Old Joe boasted to everyone in the church: "If I hadn't tied him up and fired more than a dozen muskets under the chair, no one in this church would be able to survive. The big nobles are all finished. What else do you want to do with a little bishop? right."

"It's really like the old John in the monk village, but he doesn't have the courage."

The monk village is a village under Yeovil. The Banner Army who surveyed the topography and mapped the map used to have a very good relationship with the people in that village. Later, because the Banner Army argued with the old monk in the church, they insisted that Qin Shihuang was born earlier than Jesus, and the old monk Mad.

Later, in order to make up for his mistakes, the general named the village Cultivator Village, and the troops drew a safety zone of fifteen miles around the village well, and distributed all the fields within the range to the villagers, promising that there would be no more Ming soldiers in this range. , allowing the village not to pay taxes and not to manage.

Until now, all the land west of Winchester has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and the monk village still maintains its original appearance, but there are no monks and nobles.

It really became a place to live and work in peace and contentment.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, many villages under the jurisdiction of Puli County held lantern festivals. It was exactly as the English court imagined, the so-called war preparations. [-] Puli people raised red lanterns along the way and set off firecrackers to send them back. To prevent the Chinese New Year, the Ming army moved eastward again.

In fact, Ying Ming, who led the troops to start the Eastern Expedition, was full of surprise. After all, why didn't the English royal family surrender?
In the past six months, they have been busy eradicating the nobles, wealthy merchants, and monasteries on the occupied land, mainly those who own land, the nobles who do not have land, or whoever, the Ming army doesn't care at all.

Because this is his promise to the people of England, as long as the people do not participate in the fight against the Ming army, the Ming army has the responsibility to protect their property and give them more land.

Of course, the original words of the promise printed on the tabloid are: When the Ming army launches a general offensive to the east, as the highest military chief of Daming Puli County, as long as the people do not participate in the fight against the Ming army, soldiers will be strictly prohibited from looting and will be occupied by rich and unkind merchants and nobles. The land is given to the poor and their lives are protected.

Being rich is not benevolent, what is being rich and not being benevolent?

According to Daming's point of view, every one in England who owns more than [-] acres of land counts as one, and all of them are rich and unkind.

There is a lot of land that can be distributed to the people. Last year, the farmer who told the Ming army that most of the bandits in England might be in London used to have no acre of land. The farm he guarded belonged to the lord. There were two cows, and the government gave him a full set of farming iron tools, and later he simply joined the army with a longbow.

There were forty young men in their farm, and now thirteen of them have joined the Ming army. Like many English farmers in the vast land, they are organized into three Puli camps juxtaposed with the three pastoral camps.

The armored soldiers were poorer, but they were all trained longbowmen, and their morale was particularly high. When the Ming army returned to Puli for the New Year, they had a battalion stationed at Southampton on the border and repelled two attacks by Winchester's troops.

Anyone can lose, they can't lose.

The Eastern Banner Army of the Ming Army lost, and the Muye camp lost, so it’s great to go back to Asia.

They lose everything.

The plowed land will become a lord before the harvest.

In the past, I worked hard for the lord for more than ten years. Once I realized that I could live so happily without the lord, I never wanted to go back to the lord.

These people are now clamoring all day to liberate London.

With Ying Ming leading the army to march east again, their chance came.

　Good morning!
