At this time, Bishop Zhao Fangji, who had not spoken, glanced at Feng Yunshan and suddenly asked: "Your Highness the Holy King, I heard that your soldiers believe in God, I don't know if your religion has detailed teachings?" I'm intrigued and want to borrow a look. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bishop. We have the doctrine of the Scriptures, but because the parishioners are illiterate, they cannot read the Bible, so they can only pass it on by word of mouth! Feng Yunshan smiled bitterly.

In the bottom of my heart, I was thinking, what is this foreign devil bishop asking about this, does he want to test whether my holy religion is Christianity or not? Anyway, I said it vaguely.

"Oh, I see! That's a shame! My Royal Highness, I have an idea, why don't we have our French priests under your rule, and teach the faithful to read and write while preaching? Zhao Fangji suggested.

Bulbulon and Mintini next to him also chimed in, saying that this was a good idea.

When Feng Yunshan heard this, he suspected that this was the French trying to infiltrate through religion, but it would be good if some priests who knew all kinds of knowledge could come and summon him. Then he said vaguely: "Mr. Bishop, good proposal!" However, your priest must first know Chinese! You can come to me first to learn Chinese. ”

"Oh, yes! His Royal Highness the Holy King, there is still a no....please....feeling below. Zhao Fangji looked at Feng Yunshan a little weakly, and said: "Catholicism is the most orthodox religious sect that believes in God, and the French bishops' conference is the most important religious group of Catholicism, and it has always been in the forefront of Catholicism. I think that whether the Holy King can lead your Church to return to Catholicism as a whole, so that a diocese or even an archdiocese can be established in Canton, is a great thing for the spread of God's blessings, and I can submit it to the French Bishops' Conference for approval. Your Highness, what do you think? ”

Feng Yunshan couldn't help but feel like he was being galloped by a thousand horses in his heart. What is this? I thought I was here to test myself, but I didn't expect that this Catholic person also wanted to climb up like the officialdom of later generations.

Feng Yunshan knew that Roman Catholicism was also highly hierarchical. Jurisdictions are divided according to the area of mission and the size of the population, and the level of jurisdiction is increased from the pastoral district, the vicariate district, the diocese, the archdiocese, the archdiocese, and the bishopric.

Obviously, the purpose of this Bishop Zhao Fangji, who is so authentic in Chinese as "reluctant invitation" as "uninvited feelings", wants to bring Feng Yunshan's group of tens of thousands of saints into his diocese, so that he will report to the higher authorities and persuade so many congregants to become his credit. The tens of thousands of members of the congregation were large enough for him to be promoted from an ordinary bishop of the diocese to an archbishop of the archbishop.

"Mr. Bishop, this king cannot decide their beliefs for his congregation, they have freedom of belief." Feng Yunshan's tone was a little cold: "Moreover, this king believes that as long as there is God in his heart, no matter where he is, it will be the same. Therefore, there is no need to deliberately declare a return to Catholicism or something, but to do so, to believe in our Lord with a utilitarian heart, and to fall behind! ”

When Zhao Fangji heard this, his face was red, his mouth was speechless, and his face was full of shame.

However, Bourblon and Consul Mintini hurriedly laughed and applauded: "Your Highness, I can't imagine that you have studied the theology of the church thoroughly, I really admire you!" The two helped Bishop Zhao Fangji round the scene.

However, Zhao Fangji took it seriously, and immediately drew a cross, closed his eyes, faced the west, and began to pray for atonement.

Feng Yunshan and the others looked at each other.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhao Fangji to open his eyes. Feng Yunshan found that his eyes actually felt much kinder and purer.

"Your Highness the Holy King, thank you for your teachings!" Zhao Fangji said sincerely, and then turned his head and nodded at Bourblon and Mintini.

Subsequently, the three of them said goodbye to Feng Yunshan, Bo Jia and others.

Feng Yunshan saw that Bo Jia looked like he wanted to talk and stopped, so he knew that he had something to talk to him, but he was just looking at Ricky. Karenwei was on the side, so it was inconvenient to say.

So, Feng Yunshan glanced at Wu Chongyao, and Wu Chongyao comprehended and found an excuse to put Ricky. Karenwei took him downstairs to visit the Nanyang Company.

At this moment, only Feng Yunshan and more than a dozen personal guards who were close to him were left in the room on the second floor, as well as two Americans, Bojia and Habaander.

Bo Jia really has something: "His Royal Highness the Holy King! The businessman friend you asked me to contact last time will be able to rush to the Thirteen Lines Wharf in Guangzhou tomorrow, and the goods will also arrive. You see, whether it is ...... with the holy soldiers along the way"

What Bo Jia said, Feng Yunshan knew. At present, the forts in the estuary of the Pearl River have been occupied by the Holy Army, and foreign cargo ships and warships must obtain permission from the Holy Army to pass through. Bo Jia wanted to say hello himself in advance, and let the holy army stationed at the fort let his merchant friend's merchant ship into the river.

He said, "Thank you Mr. Bojia for your help!" This king will arrange it! Then I beg you to wait here again tomorrow with your merchant friend, and the king's guard will take you to the king's dwelling, and the king will meet the merchant friend of the holy kingdom. ”

Uncle Jia was pleasantly surprised, and finally helped that old friend.

As usual, Wu Chongyao took two more prospectuses and asked Bo Jia to help invite American businessmen to inspect and invest.

In the end, Bo Jia hesitated for a moment, but still said to Feng Yunshan: "Your Royal Highness, I am only a chargΓ© d'affaires in China, and my authority is limited, so I can't help with many things. However, yesterday I heard from a merchant friend in my country that Mr. Ma Shali, our country's plenipotentiary in the Qing Dynasty, had set out from Shanghai and rushed here to meet the Holy King. ”

"At that time, the Holy King can propose the purchase of weapons." "Britain and France have colonies and troops in the Far East, so they fear that chaos in the Far East will be detrimental to their interests. However, I don't have such a problem in the United States. After speaking, Bo Jia smiled implicitly.

Feng Yunshan immediately understood what he meant. This is to imply to themselves that the French have some scruples about not selling the most advanced weapons and equipment, and that the United States does not care about this, reminding itself that when their plenipotentiary Mashali comes, they will offer to buy weapons.

No matter what the considerations of Bo Jia are, it is a good thing for Feng Yunshan.

The revolver in the United States, that is the treasure that Feng Yunshan dreamed of when he was a teenager in his previous life. However, it was not suitable for the field of regular armies, and the Americans showed great skill in the war with Mexico and in the massacre of Indians. The foreigners used it as a musket equipped by cavalry and used by the police in later generations for self-defense.

This can be introduced, the range and power are not great, but it is enough to deal with the Manchus. Whether it is siege street fighting or later, as a cavalry assault gun, it is just right.

And another battlefield weapon, the Sharps breech-loading rifle, seems to have only come out for a short time, and this is even more of an artifact of this era, that is, it is expensive, and the domestic Yankees' own army is reluctant to match it, and they also use cheap old-fashioned Springfield breech guns. However, for the Holy Army, the price is not a problem at present, and it is only tens of millions of taels of silver that have been recorded.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan couldn't help but look forward to it, hoping that that Marshali would come to him sooner.
