The author has investigated a little bit in depth on the matter of the Holy Light, and found that there are still a lot of "love and hatred" behind it, and the Holy Light Bacteria still has a story.

However, this was a good thing for Ferdinand, and in general, it would strengthen Ferdinand's power in the New World.

(Also, if you observe carefully, you will find a big news in the first volume: the full name of the future country of Spain has one more word, and there is a great mystery in this, you can realize two words...... ）

……

"Your Majesty, the chief of Margana and his daughter, who have been escorted back this time, as well as two hundred and forty-eight Indians of the tribe, have also been escorted to the port of Barcelona."

"So much?" Ferdinand was a little surprised, but then he reacted that it was already too little! Sometimes there are cases where four or five hundred people are sent over.

"In Hispaniola, the Reclamation Corps enforce my policy, right? I'm not just talking about it today. Ferdinand asked.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, is well executed. The policy of "attaching equal importance to grace and power, and combining rigidity and softness" with the ethnic minorities in Spain that you mentioned is indeed a great, glorious, and correct governance strategy for us to rule the New World. ”

Fonseca's discourse has begun to habitually use the word Spanish, indicating that Fonseca and his family are already moving closer to Ferdinand's position on the future relationship between Castile and Aragon. (The Fonseca family was one of the greater nobles of Castile)

This deception must have pleased Ferdinand more than any other compliment.

"That's right," Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction, "as long as we are in the New World, in Granada, in Andalusia, in Catalonia, and all over the world ruled by Spain in the future, as long as we adhere to the national policy of [Equal Emphasis on Grace and Power, Strength and Softness], our great Spanish royal family, people and army will be invincible and invincible, and let the Spanish flag be planted in every corner of the world!" ”

It's not Ferdinand's boasting, the so-called [equal emphasis on grace and power, both rigidity and softness], this minority policy, which has a deep meaning! It's not as simple as it seems at first glance.

First of all, there are so many Indians in the New World! At this time, the Inca Empire alone had 20 million Indians (meow?) The author bacteria are a little skeptical)! How can this be said to be a minority? This is not a prerequisite for the implementation of the policy!

So, we need to take steps to make the Indians a minority.

Then, implement the strategy of "attaching equal importance to grace and power, and combining rigidity and softness" to them......

Moreover, it was not that the imperial court "honored the Yellow Religion", but that it wanted to "spread the gospel" and convert those remaining Indians to Catholicism.

……

On the island of Hispaniola, the Reclamation Corps adopted two different approaches to the island's Indians in accordance with this policy:

(1) For an Indian, well, first of all, whether you are a "good" or "bad" Indian, you have to "live". "Alive" understands? It's a very esoteric word, and you could write a book.

You have to be alive before you can talk about how to deal with it.

(2) If you are a captive, most of the time you will become a slave first, or you will also have the opportunity, if you are lucky, to throw yourself into the arms of the Holy Light in advance.

If that doesn't happen, you'll have to force hard labor for a period of time, maybe a month to three months, or even half a year.

Then, if you are willing to convert to Catholicism, you can basically go and be baptized in the Light. If you don't want to, then happily work as a laborer. Starting in three years, the maximum is lifelong.

If you do something irrational, you have to accept the death penalty.

It doesn't have to be a captive to be treated like this. The tribes of the Indians who resisted the Spanish army fiercely, such as Magua, are talking about you guys, and I will all be slaves, of course, if you are willing to convert, or work for a while to turn your heart to God, then forget it.

(2) If you live to see this, then you are lucky enough to be baptized by the Light. Your big brothers and sisters will take care of you kindly. (below)

According to the original history, in the middle of the 16th century, the Catholic congregations expanded around the world.

The revival of the congregation is of great significance.

For example, Catholicism has always claimed justification by deeds, but under the east wind of the Renaissance, the Pope of Rome slapped itself in the face. It's embarrassing.

Just like "This Thing Sounds in the World" to Station B, the major religious orders at that time can be said to have raised the height of the entire ghost animal area in Europe with their own governance, and saved the image and morality of Catholicism.

Second, the major religious orders, with their well-organized and noble spirit, expanded throughout the world, which was difficult for early Protestantism to do. The major religious orders active in the South Seas, the Americas, Africa, India, and all over the world suffered a heavy blow to the authority of the pope in Europe, expanding Catholicism to the whole world and expanding the stage of religious "reform" to the whole world, so that Catholicism regained strong support and held its ground.

Ferdinand was about to be founded by four major orders.

Congregation of the Holy Angels (Sisters).

Ursula Congregation (Congregation of Sisters).

(Admire these nuns who have the perseverance to run around the world)

The Society of Jesus (a gathering place for missionary leaders).

The Light will be different from the previous one.

……

In the case of Indians, there are four categories of semi-Indians that will be treated more gently. Those who are willing to convert, those who are more moderate (those who have not resisted or who are not fierce, and who believe that there is still hope for reform, such as the surrendered Hispaniola Indians and Labrador Innu), close allies (such as Beotuk and Inuit), and collaborators (such as the Delaware Indians). The other half is a group of women and children.

For close allies, like the Inuit, they were completely crippled by the light as soon as they came up, and now that they are lame, there is no other way to start building, and Gothob is built with Inuit settlements and labor. Like the level of alliance has reached the Beotuk people - mixed, covenant, co-governance, sharing and co-building, flickering is almost the same, just continue to flicker, for the time being...... It's also completely fooled and lame.

This kind of good thing is not universal. More commonly are tribes that have been subdued by force or directly conquered by force.

For example, the Labrador Peninsula was subdued by force, but the Spanish did not have enough coercive power in Labrador, so they sent inspectors (to monitor their tribute and all kinds of behavior) and missionaries to station the tribe together to spread the Light.

In the case of the conquered tribes on the island of Hispaniola, then the army was to be stationed and the people of these tribes, as well as those who were willing to convert from the captives and recalcitrant tribes, as well as some women and children who were not in such categories, were gathered in a few villages, towns and villages, and taught them how to cultivate (the land was still theirs, and the human body was still basically free), baptized, converted to Christianity, preached the doctrine and Castilian or Araganese (Spanish had not yet been formed), collected tithes, and so on.

As an Indian, this is not bad.

Of course, if there is any riot, to do irrational acts against the big brothers and sisters (especially the Holy Angels, who will increase in number) will be burned and slaughtered.
