Chapter 200: A Big Piece of Heart
"A thousand cuts!"
"Kill this dog traitor!"
……
In the midst of countless excited roars, Sun Zhiqi's huge cross was carried by more than a dozen strong men, just like the Templars carried a real cross, to the hall of filial piety, and then placed in front of the stone steps of the pedestal......
This is also the place where Fan Wencheng was first chopped.
A large group of wild dogs ran happily around Sun Zhiqi, obviously still carrying the memories of the last time they had a meal, looking at Sun Zhiqi one by one as if they were looking at a plate of food, and a few of them couldn't wait to move forward, but then they were kicked away by the soldiers, hiding in the distance and making anxious noises. However, Sun Zhiqi was already half dead at this time, completely ignoring this scene, in fact, he was in good health if he could support it until now, after all, the double torture of spirit and body, neither of which was so easy to bear.
"This won't work!"
Yang Qing looked at the half-dead Sun Zhiqi and said dissatisfied.
That's not going to work.
Although it is almost impossible to really cut thousands of knives and still be alive, it is necessary to let him survive today, otherwise it will be difficult to meet the demands of the broad masses of the people.
It is said that Sun Zhiqi is currently also at the Internet celebrity level.
The people of Jiangnan are full of curiosity about such a person who doesn't even want their ancestors, doesn't even want Huaxia clothes, takes the initiative to shave a rat's tail, and can brazenly make up a theoretical basis for this behavior, and instigate Jiannu to forcibly shave his hair and change his clothes. I have to say that since the southern crossing, the Marquis of Zhongyong has done such a thing in the eyes of the gentry that satisfies them, and Gu Xichou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, rarely offered to give a generous reward to the Jinyi guards who captured Sun Zhiqi, and described their actions as comparable to Xin Qi's rebellion in the camp.
If it is only for one day, it is obviously difficult to satisfy the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately, Yang Qing was prepared.
"Pump him this!"
Yang Qing opened a box beside him, picked up a special thing from the box, and then handed it to Stilwell and said.
"What is this?"
The latter said suspiciously.
"Don't ask!"
Yang Qing said.
Stilwell hurriedly shut up, took this thing that was a bit like a flute but with an extra pot, took the lamp that Yang Qing gave him later, listened to the specific usage, and then walked to Sun Zhiqi's side, and let this guy take a few puffs according to what Yang Qing taught. Then I saw that Sun Zhiqi, who was originally half-dead, suddenly lifted his spirits, and the original malaise was swept away in an instant, and even his eyes were very bright.
Stilwell stepped aside and sat down satisfied.
The executioner completed the process of identifying him, then stripped off Sun Zhiqi's clothes, and in the latter's frightened screams, he tightened his chest with a large fishing net, causing the flesh to bulge slightly......
"Rip him!"
"Move the knife!"
……
Countless roars rang out.
The executioner's knife immediately began to slice in Sun Zhiqi's chest, and the latter's screams rang out immediately.
"One!"
The executioner shouted as he picked up the strips of meat.
"Hey the dogs!"
"Hey the dogs!"
……
A unanimous roar rang out.
The wild dogs next to them were chattering happily.
The executioner immediately flung it, and the piece of meat immediately flew out, and a Laipi wild dog jumped up in the air to catch it, and immediately received a round of applause, Sun Zhiqi looked at the original part of his body in pain, and was swallowed into his stomach by the leper dog with great speed, and then he lowered his head to look at the bloody wound on his chest, and then the executioner began to stab the second ......
"To be able to provoke the gentry and the common people to be so unanimous, this dog thing is also a strange thing!"
Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.
"Clothing is inheritance, breaking people's inheritance is like digging people's ancestral graves, and he wants to dig the ancestral graves of all Chinese people, and it is already light to cut with a thousand knives!"
Yang Qing sneered.
"It's just that, Your Excellency the Marquis, I would like to beg you if you can change the torture instrument, the image of the cross behind him is easy to cause the people to misunderstand us."
An old ghost beside Zheng Zhilong said cautiously.
"Isn't that a torture instrument?"
Yang Qing said.
"This ......"
The ghost guy was a little embarrassed.
"If the Romans could use it as a torture instrument, why can't I? Also, Mr. BiFrancis, I have heard that you have translated Yahweh into God and preached on it, and on behalf of His Highness the Ming Dynasty, I would like to formally present an ultimatum to you and to the representative of Christ in the Vatican, whom you represent. There is only one God in the Ming Dynasty, and that is our supreme deity, Haotian God, and no other title shall use this word, and we shall use our words to describe you as transgression, and we who commit the crime of transgression must also be punished by the punishment that this person has suffered. However, if you are Europeans and may not know much about this, Your Highness will give you a chance to correct it, and if the word God appears again in the scriptures you have translated in half a year, then I will have to tie all the missionaries to the cross. ”
Yang Qing then said.
"Your Excellency the Marquis, let's go back and revise it immediately!"
The ghost guy hurriedly said in Sun Zhiji's scream.
This ghost guy is Bi Fangji.
He didn't have Matteo Ricci, John Tang was famous, but in fact he was the leader of the missionaries in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this guy has been in China for more than 30 years, and Xu Guangqi and others are good friends, originally in history even for Hongguang to contact Macao to seek support, he developed a lot of believers in the area of Jiangsu and Shanghai.
Yang Qing didn't care about their mission.
The Yahweh that these people are currently spreading in the Ming Dynasty will probably let them go to the Inquisition if the Vatican knew about it.
They are indeed very clever to cater to those Confucian gentry in China, and rely on this catering to develop some believers, even including important ministers like Xu Guangqi, but the Vatican doesn't care about this, and dares to let believers worship Confucius and worship the gods of the East while worshipping Yawei. Bruno had just been burned to death for less than half a century, and the Vatican didn't care about their plight, and the Yahweh they were propagating was enough to go to the Inquisition, so the result was that decades later Doro came on behalf of the Holy See and kicked all these audacious heresies aside, and then Matteo Ricci and his successors were instantly reverted to their original form after a century of hard work......
You are not allowed to worship Confucius, so who will still believe in your Yawei?
How can you take the imperial examination without worshipping Confucius?
It is said that among the three major disciples of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Tingyun is still a provincial scholar and politician!
So you don't need to care about them at all.
They were originally some heretics who had the audacity to rehabilitate their doctrines without the Vatican's knowledge, and later bribed a European or a missionary who insisted on purity, and went directly to the Vatican to report them, and the Inquisition would clean up these guys for the Ming Dynasty.
And Yang Qing actually maintains a good relationship with them now, after all, these people have also brought a lot of practical things to Daming.
"I'll let Jinyiwei oversee it, Mr. Bi Fangji, I really don't object to your mission, but you must obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Also, as far as I know, one of your missionaries, John Tang, slandered me from Li Zicheng and called me a vampire, and I have to ask, is this his personal opinion or your church's? If it is a personal opinion then I ask you to convey to him on my behalf that I am going to have a public duel with him to protect my reputation, and that I will allow him to use garlic and silverware. If it's your church, then I'll let you know the consequences of discrediting me! ”
Yang Qing said like a real vampire.
"Your Excellency the Marquis, this is just his personal opinion and has nothing to do with the Church!"
Bi Fangji hurriedly said.
"Alright then, please officially convey to Mr. John Tang on my behalf, he is limited to come to Nanjing within half a year, I will have a public duel with him, he can choose any weapon, if he does not come, I will be responsible for this, he is your missionary, you must be responsible for his actions."
Yang Qing said.
Well, that's shameless.
But now he really wants to kill Brother Ma's Tomafa, and he dares to describe him as a vampire, which is simply an insult to his personality, and he has to be Satan to match his identity. Moreover, he hasn't shown miracles for a long time, so he just uses Tomafa as a stepping stone to show miracles again in the spotlight, and it is best to make an image of a loyal and brave Hou Shenwei invincible foot stepping on the little demon of Xiyi. Let Jin Yiwei spread some folk tales and the like, and that would be enough, anyway, the cross has been made into a torture instrument that the common people are afraid of, plus a drama of stepping on the missionary......
It would be really difficult for these fellows to proselytize again.
"Your Excellency the Marquis......"
What else does Bi Francis want to say.
"Mr. Bi, as a person whose reputation has been slandered, I have not taken more drastic measures and only duel in a personal way to protect my reputation, which is already magnanimous enough, do you want me to take other ways?"
Yang Qing threatened gloomily.
"Huh?!"
Bi Francis finally kept his mouth shut.
In this era, duels in Europe were popular, and the city of Paris alone, from 1588 to 1608, died more than 8,000 people in 20 years because of duels.
At this moment, Sun Zhiji's screams on the execution ground suddenly weakened.
Yang Qing immediately turned his gaze away.
The execution has been suspended, according to the standard, it is generally a pause for ten cuts, it is obvious that Sun Zhiqi is too fragile after all, and he can't even bear ten knives, and he is there with his head down and dying.
"Give him another smack!"
Yang Qing said dissatisfied.
Stilwell hurriedly stepped forward with the thing and gave Sun Zhiqi a few more mouthfuls.
This thing is really useful, Sun Zhiqi's spirit lifted again, and even his lowered head was raised, and then he let out a wolf-like wail, struggling on the cross......
"Go on!"
Yang Qing said with satisfaction.
