"Master Kelvin, can I still recover from my illness?" The man opened a pair of bloodshot eyes in his sunken eye sockets.
Zhenhui hesitated for half a second, and finally told the truth: "Maybe the heavenly father needs his devout believers, and death is not the end of your soul."
After saying this, time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
The man sat up, his head bowed, and the veins on his solid arms twisted like a centipede: "Father, please forgive me for the sin of cannibalism, Priest Kelvin, I have repented to you countless times. During that famine, I gave all the food to my children and my wife. I had to kill people and cannibalize..."
"In the eyes of the heavenly father, good deeds can never offset sin. If you are guilty, you are guilty. If you sin, Isaiah will be punished for you in the trial. This is why you have to repent and believe in the heavenly father." Zhenhui sat beside him, stroking his back as if she were her own child.
"Olson, my friend, there is nothing I can do about your illness, but look at your child, he is still alive, he has recovered from a high fever, I think it will take less than half a month for him to become a healthy little boy."
The man's body trembled suddenly, and he drew a sign of the cross on his chest: "Father, forgive my sins, I am willing to sacrifice everything for you, I am not rich or noble, but at least I have a knife, if I can, I am willing to kill the devil for you, to put an end to evil."
"Don't worry, I will take him to an unknown place, and he will become the adopted son of the Earl of Hamburg and grow up happily."
"Thank you, Priest Kelvin." The tall and majestic man suddenly knelt down, fell into Zhenhui's arms and cried like a child.
"Okay, okay." Zhenhui took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to the man. After nearly a year of study, Zhenhui's Frankish can be compared with Feng Sen's, "This is St. Oil, you take a little of it every day and put it in water and give it to Oberg, and he'll be well soon."
After appeasing the man, Zhenhui put the medicine box back on her back and came to the road of the village. Everywhere she went, the villagers saluted or smiled at him.
This is Zhenhui's daily life. Apart from studying the scriptures in church, one of his most important activities is going to the countryside.
The work of going to the countryside is not just praying and blessing for the dead, but also missionary, presiding over trials and weddings and funerals, collecting taxes, circuit courts, mediating disputes among villagers, and even law and order and clearing up bandits.
This is not Zhenhui's panic, but this is the job of the priests!
Churches in the Middle Ages were not just religious or economic places like Buddhist temples in the Central Plains. Their greatest significance of existence is actually grassroots governance and stability maintenance.
Especially in the north of the Rhine River, since there are no Roman cities and the urban economy brought by them, the church often exists in the vast land in the form of landlords.
Why did Charlie cooperate with Heavenly Father Church?Because Charlie needs the priests to open up wasteland, build cities, and undertake grassroots governance and even public services.
On the land of the later Holy Roman Empire, most of the cities were established by priests. They would arrive at the land allocated to them by Charles, and then recruit refugees and bankrupt farmers to reclaim wasteland, especially after the introduction of the Saxon heavy plow, set off the first wave of German reclamation.
These wasteland farmers will pay taxes and build churches every year. During this period, stonemasons, merchants, blacksmiths, etc. will be attracted one after another because of the needs of the project. The commodity economy and supporting public facilities will also gradually develop with the population. When the church or monastery is built, a town has basically taken shape.
Therefore, the greatest significance of the existence of the church is grassroots rule. Its existence is similar to that of village elders and even clans in the Central Plains. Will the villagers’ lawsuits in medieval villages really come before the Earl?How can the Lord Earl have so much time, basically it is the priests who mediate, and the Earl is only concerned with collecting taxes and conscription.
Glancing at the sun in the sky, Zhenhui calculated the time, and said to the two young attendant monks and guards: "There is still some time in the afternoon, let's go to the next village!"
"Okay, teacher." The attendant monk respectfully pulled out the horse from the stable. Zhenhui was about to get on the horse, but there was a commotion in the distance.
Seven or eight Frankish cavalrymen and Elder Marovinus rushed over in a cloud of dust. Before Zhenhui could react, the seven or eight Frankish cavalry surrounded Zhenhui.
The Tang army soldier next to him immediately wanted to draw out the horizontal knife at his waist, but Zhenhui quickly pushed it back.
"Did something happen to Bremen?" Zhenhui asked with a calm smile.
But it was two ferocious Frankish cavalry who answered his question. They took out the rope, pressed Zhenhui's shoulder together, and tied his hands with the rope.
"噗!" The Tang army soldier behind him pulled out the horizontal knife again, his eyebrows were erected, and his muscles tensed up.
"Don't move!" Zhenhui yelled at the Tang soldier with a serious face, "Find a way to inform the other brothers!"
"Papa papa!" Marovinus clapped his hands and walked out arrogantly. He walked up to Zhenhui with a smile, looked at Zhenhui who was bent down, and said with pity, "Kelvin Ah Kelvin, we trust you immensely, but you secretly communicated with the bandits and wanted to rob Bremen, tsk tsk tsk."
"Me? Secretly communicated with the robber?" Zhenhui frowned, "Where did you hear the rumor?"
"Pretend, keep pretending." Marovinus smiled eccentrically, "I'll see how you pretend."
Zhenhui took a deep breath and said to the cavalry leader beside him, "I want to see the archbishop."
"Oh, yes, see the archbishop." Marovinus still had the same smirk pretending to be pitiful, and he threw out a document, "You can see for yourself, it is the order of the archbishop, I am a decent person , Without evidence, I will never come to arrest people.”
"Felix, help me take a look." Zhenhui said to the attendant monk behind him.
Felix carefully unfolded the roll of paper, checked it for a while, and said in disbelief: "Master Kelvin, this, this is indeed an order from the archbishop, but what he wrote on it is to take you back for questioning, and Not an arrest."
"Felix's attendant monk!" Marovinus snatched the certificate from his hand, and he glared at Felix, "Put away the evil things you learned from that ancient Greek or Celis, and play with me!"
"but……"
"Okay, I'll go with you." Zhenhui interrupted Felix, staring at the cavalry leader, "However, these monks and soldiers are innocent, I hope you can let them go, otherwise, once the soldiers of the Tang Army make a fuss, I won't be able to suppress it."
The leader of the cavalry was taken aback for a moment, and finally got out of the way. He pointed at the carriage in front of him with his whip: "The archbishop really wants to see you, please."

Hey, it's going to be on the shelves, and I want to eat rice, hey, rice, fragrant and soft rice, hey...
Cough, ok, [First of all, the launch notice. 】
The main thing is to tell everyone that I will be on the shelves at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, please make a first order.
In fact, my collection is only [-], and no matter how I ask for the data, it is probably not good-looking, but Louis XVI can have no head, but there must be a head, so I just ask for a first-order meaning.
This is the first time I put it on the shelves, and you are responsible for taking my first time.
[Second, rewards and explosions. 】
Let me talk about the conclusion first, there will be no rewards, and explosions are more likely.
Since I have no experience, the plot of this book before it was put on the shelves was not particularly good. It was originally 12 words on the shelves, but it dragged me to 14 words.
Before publishing the book, I always read in the group or the forum that, ah, there is a reward before it is put on the shelf, and there must be an update, so before publishing the book, I saved nearly [-] words of manuscripts, which means that I am ahead of you. For the plot of ten days, I originally thought, at least [-] words can be left when it is put on the shelves, right?
At present, there are indeed preserved manuscripts, but there is a zero missing, two thousand words.
So I won't offer rewards. There are a lot of things on weekdays. I'm free on weekends. If I can update, I will add a few more chapters. Everyone, please treat me as a burst update and kowtow to everyone.
Bang Bang Bang!
Although I don't offer rewards, I don't run away, that is to say, I want to finish this book honestly and little by little (unless there is force majeure, such as my cow exploded), my goal is:
In one year, if you write more than 150 million words and finish it unfinished, I call it [complete together].
In fact, this goal is not something to be proud of in the online literature circle, but for me, it is already a peak.
You take this as my bounty on myself, finish the bounty (shame on the bounty).
It’s not that I don’t want to offer a bounty or release an update. I’m not a full-time writer. I’m still in graduate school.
[Thirdly, the elders of Jiangshan can tolerate me and prevent people from making illegal money. 】
Next, it may cost money to read books. I also read books at Shuke in high school, and I also know that most of Shuke are middle school students. Ten yuan was very valuable in middle and high school.
1. This is a fun essay, so there will be no knife.
2. No stocks, this is a hard harem (my distinction between soft and hard harem is: can you organize a harmonious multi-person.)
3. I try my best to get close to the historical facts, but because I have to write every day, it may not be true sometimes. If there are mistakes, you can tell me in the post.
If it doesn’t affect the plot and doesn’t require a major revision, I’ll change it. If it can’t be changed, I’ll also indicate it, and try not to let everyone learn any pseudo-historical knowledge from me.
4. Not involved in politics, not involved in the left line, this is a story of the feudal era, it cannot be done regardless of productivity, and at the same time, it is also to prevent harmony.
5. The protagonist is definitely going to be the emperor in the end, and he will never nest for a lifetime.
6. The Han Chinese are definitely coming.
Finally, I would like to pay tribute to all the readers and friends who read the book, and thank you for your likes.
[Fourth, I developed dementia, I forgot, and I will add it when I think about it. 】
[Fifth, reference materials. 】
----
History Hall's Charlemagne, the Father of Europe, by Alessandro Barbero.
This is my main bibliography, which is quite well written. It is not just a biography of Charlemagne himself, but also includes the political system, military system, ideological environment, and social structure of the Frankish Kingdom at that time. It has things that are not included in many papers.
----
"Charles the Great" by Einhard, "The Frankish Royal Almanac"
"The Biography of Charles the Great" is mainly about the life of Charles the Great, many of which overlap with the previous one, but it is still very worth reading, but the second half of it seems to have found a ghostwriter in the studio, the writing is a mess, and it is like a myth, nothing. reference value.
"The Chronicle of the Frankish Royal Family" is basically what Charlemagne did in which year, reference books, check it when necessary, and because this book is an official history, it likes to cover up mistakes, mainly for boasting about Charlemagne.
----
"A Comparative Study of Chinese and Western Feudal Societies" and "A Study of Western European Feudal Economic Forms" are the masterpieces of Mr. Ma Keyao
Both books are very well written, and they are very eloquent, basically every time I read the previous paragraph and I have a question, he writes that question in the next paragraph as if he could guess it, and then For explanations, it is written very clearly and in detail.
Let me talk about "Cambridge Medieval History". I don't know if it's the fault of the translation or the difference in thinking between the East and the West. When I read this book, I often feel confused. I don't know what I'm talking about.
----
History of the Franks, History of the Anglo-Saxons
It is mainly used to give names, and Alvin and Marovinus all find their names from here to write, or imitate.
----
"The History of Social Life in Ancient China" "The Spiritual Civilization of the Tang Empire"
The first book examines the living habits of people in the Tang Dynasty, etc., but the Tang Dynasty part is a bit general, far inferior to the Song Dynasty part, and I can only get a general understanding of it. The second book is more detailed. I am still reading it, so I don’t have much insight.
----
"Chinese Military Encyclopedia - Ancient Wars, Two Jins - Sui and Tang Dynasties", "300 Years of the Civil War" column by Lin Yunqi, a boss
The first book is very clear in terms of strategy, but most of them only have strategy, no tactics, and he didn't write about how to fight.
"300 Years of the Civil War" is more detailed and suitable for introduction to ancient tactics, but it is too old and not easy to refer to. It is mainly used to understand the principles.
Then there is a column article by Lin Yunqi, a big boss, which is quite good in tactics. It analyzes Tang Jun's tactics very clearly, how to fight, why he is strong, and why he fights like this. I think it can be published.
----
Centurion Wind at Station B, Videos and Articles of Shield Hammer History Restoration Club
These two up masters are mainly about the details of the war, that is, how a single soldier fights. The Centurion mainly uses ancient Chinese cavalry tactics and classic battle examples, while the Shield Hammer History Restoration Club is a modern soldier attack video, which is more intuitive and restored. For example, when Arvo beat Feng Sen, he used the historical restoration club video of the shield and hammer as a reference for his actions.
----
"The Second Volume of the History of Technology", "Primitive Technology", "General History of World Science and Technology", "Illustrations of Heavenly Works", "Complete Books of Traditional Chinese Crafts", "Books of Ancient Chinese Industrial Engineering", "Traverser's Indigenous Manufacturing Gift Pack, etc.
These are used for some technology trees and farming, and you can check the information when you need it.
----
A certain encyclopedia.
Needless to say, everyone knows that there is an encyclopedia that I don't know what it is, and there is a fr in front of the wiki that can check the genealogy of medieval families, which is very useful.
----
"Illustrated World War Tactics" "Western Art of War"
This is mainly used to write about medieval tactics. It is read in general, and it is also a reference book. If you need it, you can take it out and look it up.
Then there are many papers, so I won't list them one by one. After all, there are so many words, and the placement is bad.
[Finally, and most importantly]
Today Thursday, V I 50.
Chapter 53 Still ↑ still ↓ mouth ↑ hard→
The main body of the Bremen church is a very obvious basilica church.
In the middle of the church is a rectangular hall, with white marble columns standing on both sides like soldiers, and two corridors are separated on both sides of the hall.
The hall in the middle is about twice as high as the corridors on both sides, so that the high windows can be opened to let the clear spring light fall on the monks' Mediterranean-style heads from the high windows on both sides.
The light that squeezed into the church from the high windows, diffused by the dust, pulled up oblique light curtains in midair, dividing the whole church into two halves of light and darkness.
What Zhenhui was facing was the end of the hall, which was a semi-circular altar. Under the light of eight high windows, the pure gold cross in the middle was shining brightly.
Archbishop Willerhard of Bremen knelt in front of the cross, praying devoutly, with his back facing Zhenhui, Marovinus, and many monks who came from the corridors on both sides.
Beside him, there were several elders (pastors) standing on the left and right. Some of them had smiles in their eyes, while others were worried. Especially Elder Fields, he stared at Zhenhui below and almost cried out.
Turning around slowly, Willhard in a white robe looked around at the numerous monks and the triumphant Marovinus, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
What he meant was to ask Marovinus to bring Zhenhui quietly without making a fuss. I didn’t realize that this big fool wanted to beat drums and drums to call people everywhere. What about the veterans of many battles!
Standing in front of the altar, Willhard solemnly shouted to the monks on both sides: "Quiet!"
Echoing sound waves jumped in the church, and the monks finally calmed down. Willhard nodded to Marovinus: "Let's get started."
