"The pagans of Germany and France...... All are of the Jewish race. ”

The Spanish ministers, who believed in Catholicism, naturally hated the Huguenots in France, that is, the Calvinists in the history textbooks, and the Protestantism in Germany.

The ministers from the Netherlands, although still Catholic, were deeply anxious for Protestantism and naturally sympathized with Calvinists and other Protestants.

And the so-called Jews are again accused by Philip II.

Although in the eyes of Philip II, heretics were more odious than heretics, and heretics could shake the foundations of his rule, heretics helped him rule.

But, in the eyes of ordinary people, and in the eyes of non-religious, Protestants are hateful, but they are still acceptable.

And as devout Catholics, of course they hate Judaism as a pagan, and as Jews.

Therefore, Philip II arranged all the heretics and heretics on those Protestants at one time, and naturally wanted to occupy the commanding heights of propaganda and gain the support of more ministers and nobles, as well as the support of those common people.

"Your Majesty!!" "Your Majesty!!" ……

The ministers who sympathized with Protestantism hurriedly bent down and spoke hurriedly, constantly calling out to His Majesty, and their faces were full of eagerness.

The Catholics, on the other hand, stood on the sidelines, one by one, expressionless, and even deserved to show a happy expression.

Queen Mary looked puzzled, looking at her husband in front of her and the ministers with different expressions, and she was very puzzled.

"Needless to say, the Netherlands has been defiled, Spain cannot continue, and this beautiful land cannot be defiled by heretics."

But Philip II ignored the persuasion of so many ministers, and the expression on his face was very cold, even a little cold, and he said loudly in desperation:

"At the moment, only God can judge these sinners, Amen!"

His Majesty the King has prayed, and the ministers are no exception, and no matter how good or bad they are, they can only get up and follow the prayer.

His Majesty the King and his ministers then proceeded to the palace.

Along the way, some ministers had bitter faces and were in a depressed mood.

They are all old ministers, and of course they know that the current majesty is about to use an institution, the Inquisition.

And those workers who work do not know that what awaits them in Spain next will be a bloody storm.

The Inquisition, the institution of the Christian Church in the 13th ~ 19th centuries to detect and try heresy. Also translated as Inquisition, Inquisition, Inquisition.

Aimed at all anti-church heretics, and for heretical thinkers.

The Inquisition was founded in the first half of the 13th century. Pope Innocent III, in order to suppress the Albigensian heresy in southern France, established the Church's reconnaissance and inquisitorial institutions, which was the beginning of the Inquisition.

When you hear about the Inquisition, everyone must be terrified, and your mind is full of all kinds of torture, as well as the indiscriminate arrest of all kinds of women, the framing of witches, all kinds of torture, and even the large-scale capture of scientists in modern times, and the death penalty.

But interestingly, until 1530, the Spanish Inquisition was universally praised as the best and most humane tribunal in Europe. In fact, there are records of convicts in Spain deliberately committing blasphemy in order to be transferred to the prisons of the Spanish Inquisition.

However, after 1530, the Spanish Inquisition began to turn its attention to the new heretical Lutheranism, which may have come from the Protestant Revolution and the ensuing hostility (between Protestantism and Catholicism).

At that time, the Protestant countries had printing presses, and naturally they slandered the Inquisition in Spain and France, and seized the power of public opinion, which has created the impression of everyone today.

In fact, as I wrote earlier, in 16th-century Europe, the witch wave swept the world, and many innocent women were implicated in the burning of witches in various countries.

In France and Spain, which have dense Inquisitions, the Inquisition has absolute professionalism, and carefully audited the witches, and found that most of them were fake, but saved many lives.

And in countries where there was no Inquisition, witches were burned, for example, in England.

However, it is undeniable that the Spanish Inquisition faithfully carried out the orders of His Majesty the King, and still imposed severe punishments on Protestants and pagans.

Moreover, the Inquisition was a famous place in Spain for dealing with infidels, and even ministers and nobles were still apprehensive about it.

That's why the ministers pleaded like this, because once the Inquisition was activated, at least hundreds of thousands of people would suffer throughout Spain.

However, Philip II did not seem to listen, and still met with the archbishop of Spain at the first time, and ordered to cooperate with the work of the Inquisition.

Then, the cavalry flew all over Spain, and the Inquisition, large and small, received the royal decree and began its work.

…………

On the streets of Madrid, Ugo is an inconspicuous small trader on the streets of Madrid, who usually sells some daily small goods and supports his family.

Compared to other Spaniards, he is barely well-fed!

On this day, the sun used all its strength, spreading the last warmth in the body, and the sky turned gray.

Seeing the scattered pedestrians on the streets, Ugo knew that there was no business left today and that it was time to go home.

As soon as he wanted to go home, his fourteen-year-old son flashed in his mind, and he was mixed for a while.

The child is fourteen years old, and it is time to find him a daughter-in-law, but his family situation is still tight, barely supporting three people, and if he adds one, I am afraid that he will faint from hunger.

Thinking of this, Ugo glanced at the patrolling soldiers, and cursed in his heart: Damn tax collector, damned king, collect so many taxes, just to build a palace, and don't care about the lives of our civilians.

If, as Cleric Alfonso had said, everyone had been Protestant, my son would have been able to marry a daughter-in-law.

He shook his head vigorously, came to his senses, and staggered back to his house.

However, as soon as he arrived at the door, suddenly, several gray-robed monks and a dozen soldiers appeared on the side.

When Ugo saw the gray-robed monk and the soldier, he quickly bowed his head and wanted to sneak into the house.

And this is, the gray-robed man walked directly over and reached him.

One of the gray-robed monks was shrouded in gray robes, not seeing faces, but there was an eerie voice coming from inside:

"Ugo, you heretic, treacherous and traitor, you are about to be judged by my lord!"

Hearing this, as a native of Madrid, Ugo immediately collapsed with weak legs, white eyelids, and obvious yellow and white crotch of his pants.

He knew that he was in trouble.
