439 Chaotic Doge's Palace

Xiao Ruxun doesn't trust me?

Don't trust us Catholic Church?

Don't trust the Holy See?

After many years of preaching, Bishop Alexander finally heard such a sentence, which is basically not heard in the land of Europe, but in China, the missionaries have been tormented by this sentence, and the Chinese Confucian scholars do not look down on them at all, and do not trust this religion......

A gunshot rang out, and everything came to naught.

He is not a governor, and he has no connection with the Spanish government, but he knows very well that the relationship between the Holy See and the Spanish government is mutually beneficial, an equal alliance, you give me political support, I give you ideological recognition and status blessings, and Spain's annexation of Portugal is justified by the Pope himself.

Without the support of Spain, the largest power in Europe, the Holy See may be even more precarious, and the Spanish government will not have the help of the Holy See, the country will be in chaos first, and the Portuguese will definitely rise up to restore the country, how can they fight on three fronts at the same time?

If you think about it, you can understand that the two sides are equal allies, you have me, I have you, and none of us can do without anyone, but depending on the short-term conclusion, the Holy See will slowly decline when it leaves Spain, but it is better to say that they have been declining all along, but this trend is slowing down after the alliance with Spain.

And Spain has no Holy See, by the way, if the Pope speaks a few more words to disgust the Spaniards, then the Portuguese will immediately rise up and restore the country, and Spain, which is still fighting with Britain, France and the Netherlands, will be extremely passive and fall into serious internal and external troubles.

The Holy See had a lot of room for manoeuvre, but Spain had no room for manoeuvre, the war madman emperor had already drawn them into the quagmire of war, and the Spanish government would know very well how much the Roman family had done to stabilize their domestic form, and how strong the desire to open a new diocese in China was.

Now because of the reckless behavior of a stupid and short-sighted bastard, which has led to the destruction of decades of hard work of missionaries, China is the center of the East, there is no doubt about this, what cannot be recognized in China, the whole East will not accept, if you want to spread Catholicism in the East, you must let the highly civilized Chinese accept Catholicism!

"We've spent decades running the East, haven't you benefited from it? We will establish a diocese and get the congregation and a part of the land, and the rest of the administrative authority and the gold and silver will be yours! Isn't that enough? At this point, you still have to hinder our mission, well! Very good! Very good! ”

Bishop Alexander brought out all the officials who claimed to be ill, and after taking his own congregation to criticize and scold them in turn, and scolded them to the blood, let them come up with a solution immediately, otherwise he would inform the Holy See of this matter, and let the Holy See know how stupid these officers were!

The pressure on Alexander's side is very severe, and the relationship between the Spanish Empire and the Holy See knows that they can establish a colony, and the Holy See is indispensable.

The place was stabilized by literature and military force, which facilitated long-term occupation, and the Holy See began to open up new dioceses to develop to the whole world, and China was the top priority.

And now because of a small-scale military conflict, Xiao Ruxun's side spoke, and the original promised missionary permission was cancelled, Xiao Houye was very angry, no longer trusted Bishop Alexander, and no longer allowed him to come to see him, and wanted to let the people of the Philippine Governor's Office explain it themselves, and he didn't listen to other people's explanations.

The governor was so frightened that he had no master, and he took Xiao Ruxun's official note and looked at it again and again, but he didn't have any way at all, he only knew what to shout 'it's over' and something like that, and most of the officials were also quite annoyed, and they didn't know what to do at all.

Only a small number of officials came back to their senses - we have been killed by more than 200 soldiers, and we have been roaming the world for so long, when have we suffered such a big loss? Now there is already a discussion of compensation and apology instead of getting back on the ground? When did we become so cowardly?

At this time, the Spaniards were not what they looked like a hundred years later, as the sun never set on the empire of this era, the huge financial and human and material resources accumulated by the triangular route for more than 100 years made the military strength of the Spanish Empire extremely strong, so it could fight against Britain, France and the Netherlands on the European continent at the same time.

Not to mention Britain and France, the Netherlands was also a sea coachman who was once stronger than the British, and the strength can be imagined, and now the three of them together can compete with Spain, how strong do you say they should be?

It is precisely because of this arrogance that a certain Spanish governor who did not understand China's strength dared to say that he would attack China and colonize China with 4,000 soldiers.

And now, although they have learned the strength of the Chinese, their arrogance that has been crisscrossing the world for a long time is not so easy to defeat, they are qualified to have capital pride, even if they face the strong Xiao Ruxun, they also have the courage to fight Xiao Ruxun face to face.

At this time, some officials realized that their thinking was led astray by the governor, the governor didn't think about fighting and fighting back at all, he was bent on satisfying Xiao Ruxun's peace of mind, and he didn't know how it became like this, we just suffered a defeat and had to apologize and pay reparations, which is quite a morale-damaging thing, when did the empire retreat like this?

Something is wrong with the Governor!

"Governor, let's not talk about the losses of the Chinese, we also lost two hundred soldiers, this is not a small amount, this is to report the defeat to His Majesty the Emperor and explain to him, but also to explain to the families of these soldiers, if this matter is resolved like this, what is the difference between surrendering and admitting defeat?" We still have an army of more than 1,000 people to fight! ”

An official took the initiative to raise the point.

"Yes, Governor, two hundred comrades-in-arms died in battle, the soldiers are very angry, very much want revenge, we can't suppress the morale of the soldiers, but boost the morale of the soldiers!"

Another pro-battle official stepped forward.

The Governor looked up at the two men blankly.

The officials of the Lord and faction next to him hurriedly stood up and angrily reprimanded these people with ill intentions.

"Say what? Isn't it because you are messing around underground that Xiao Ruxun has an excuse to attack us? Originally, this matter could be solved quickly, and if we wanted labor, we could continue to recruit, so why did we have to be Chinese? We shouldn't have provoked people like Xiao Ruxun in the first place! ”
