Hong Tao felt that his performance was not perfect, but the actual effect was achieved. For the Indians, the flames that can burst out of their hands, the crystal bottle, and the holy water that can make people burn into fireballs are all incomprehensible supernatural phenomena, and they have never even heard of it, it must be a miracle, there is no doubt about it!
The person who can show these miracles must also be the messenger of God, and this is the first time they have seen such a rich and specific miracle, which is much more powerful than the original sacrifice of the tribe, and it is impossible to believe it. Not to mention that these Indians were blinded, even if Hong Tao's set was taken to Europe, it would be a 100% miracle, and even in the Great Song Dynasty, it was very demagogic.
Think about how the people at that time described the Europeans when the European powers first knocked on the door of the Qing Dynasty with strong ships and cannons? How many people have joined Christianity and Catholicism out of fear and confusion? European colonizers were playing this game when they landed in the Americas for the first time in the early sixteenth century. In a society where the flow of information is very closed, combining religion and technology is like a knowledgeable hooligan who has learned martial arts, and no one can stop it, unless your technology is more advanced than the other party, there is no solution.
"You are the angel of God...... Can you tell me if my soul will be at peace......" Tu was also confused by Hong Tao's trick, and when she saw Hong Tao in the cabin again, she was so nervous that she didn't even dare to sit down, standing in the room helpless.
"I am a messenger of God. You are also an angel of God. We are husband and wife. God's angels are also human beings. It's just that it's closer to God than ordinary people. Don't worry, we will all ascend to the kingdom of God, and we will have many little messengers in the future. "Since it started, Hong Tao has to keep deceiving, which is a side effect of lies.
"Then can I also have divine powers?" Tu's thoughts are very simple, and when she heard Hong Tao say that she could also enter the kingdom of God, she immediately believed it and was no longer afraid. I began to wonder how I could become an angel of God.
"Yes, but don't rush, I'll teach you slowly in the future." Hong Tao reached out and hugged the picture in his arms, touching her black hair, as if coaxing a child.
The second Trotto village, which was only half a day's flight from the newly wiped out Eagle Village, was about the size of the first Eagle Village, and was also on the bank of the river. But there are not so many Albanian fighters here, and the locals have not seen warships. By the time the hill-like warships approached from the river, the villagers had already surrendered ideologically. It took only one round of artillery bombardment to blow up the two small grass huts on the shore. The village was completely submissive.
Tu was very happy, but Swan's face turned blue with anger. If this trend continues, he, the commander of the cavalry, has little hope. In order to comfort Swan, Hong Tao gave him the task of capturing the Albanian warriors, and allowed him to kill some of them properly, but the leaders must be brought back alive, and the oracle needs them.
So next to the fire pond in this small village, Luo Youde staged another scene of the sun god messenger descending to the world. Don't look at him for the first time to pretend to be a magic stick, but he is much more comfortable performing than Hong Tao, quoting scriptures and chattering for a long time, and he can't understand many things. In fact, being a businessman is the same from a certain point of view, a businessman needs to fool others to buy his own goods, and the god stick is also fooling others to buy his own concept, dredge the same end.
Under the urging of Hong Tao's stern eyes, he carried out the last step of the ceremony, dousing three Albanian soldiers with kerosene and burning them alive in the middle of the village. Then he ordered the villagers, who had already been frightened, to build a small golden pagoda in the middle of the village from now on, which was the temple of the sun god. In addition, the village also had to contribute dozens of young adults, who were Hong Tao's comfort to Swan, and they were his first soldiers.
A three-day expedition wiped out the sworn enemies of the two tribes, harvested more than 50 slaves of the Tuo tribe and two villages, Hong Tao's achievements spread instantly in the tribe of Tu, and the fact that he was the messenger of the sun god surprised the people in the tribe of Tu. With Tu and those accompanying tribal warriors to testify, there is no need for Hong Tao to perform another miracle, and it is not fun to burn people alive in public. In the past two days, Hong Tao would often wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares, and the dreams were full of the screams of those people.
Fortunately, Hong Tao's mental torture was not in vain, and the benefits of pretending to be a ghost were immediate, and now the people in the Tu tribe no longer regard him as just a foreigner or Tu's husband, but also as a real messenger of the sun god. And they took the initiative to make a decision that they could be favored by the gods, and they also wanted to build temples, which were bigger and higher than the other two villages, so as to prove that they were closer to the gods.
"Let them build it, don't be afraid of delaying time, sharpen knives and don't mistake woodcutters, there must still be the necessary formalism. With this pyramid, our Sun God Cult has officially taken root in this land. Swan, don't pout secretly, when I hold a ceremony with your Uncle Luo in the future, if you dare to stand behind and laugh secretly, I will transfer you to Carl's place to watch the castle! "Luo Youde, out of the instinct of a businessman, thinks that it is pointless to build such a large pile of stones at the expense of people and money.
Deceitful people can't be deceived with themselves, and if you have this time and labor, it is better to spend it on production and construction, cut down the forest in the north, and then use these trees to build the fence, so that the enemy will not use the forest as a cover to sneak attack the village. Hong Tao agreed to Tu's suggestion, in the matter of pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, he is higher than Luo Youde's kung fu in mastering the heat, after all, he has done it once in his previous life, and he is also familiar with the road, some things are necessary, and he can't be afraid of trouble.
"You don't want to fight, I'll give you this opportunity now. The more than fifty slaves you have captured are all yours, and then go to those two villages to recruit dozens of people who are willing to sacrifice their lives to defend the temple, gather a hundred people, and start training from now on. I don't care what method you use, anyway, before I go, they must be your soldiers, and they must give me a victory, or you should go back with me to see the castle!" "It is not enough for religion to deceive people spiritually, but powerful force is the ultimate guarantee of all means, and Hong Tao will never forget this. In more than two months, he will return with slave sailors and warships, and whether Luo Youde and Swann can gain a foothold here and slowly begin to expand depends on Swan's ability.
"More than two months will definitely not be able to train qualified soldiers, but it is still no problem to win a battle. I've calculated, the combat effectiveness of the people here is okay, but the tactics and weapons and equipment are too poor, and they are too affected by the outside world, and they will be caught blind if there is a storm. As long as you can keep the soldiers from messing around, you can win. It doesn't take two months to achieve this, and in a month I can get them to obey orders 100 percent, and they won't dare to run even if no one is watching. But don't interfere with my training, just follow my ways. "When Si Wan talks about things related to the war, it's like a different person, and he is never sloppy at a glance.
"I'll treat these 100 people as if they're dead, and I won't say a word if you toss them all around, and if you kill them all. But there is one thing, it is better not to embarrass the picture, and not to scare the people in the village. Hong Tao was willing to believe Swan's words, but reason told him that Swan's words didn't seem to be reliable. But you can only trust him once and see how it works.
"I took them to the west side of the fence to train alone, all they needed was food and drink, and they didn't let the people in the village go outside the fence casually." Swann put forward one more condition.
"Okay, that's it, you can arrange it yourself, I'll say hello over there." Lao Luo, don't be idle, our divine cult can't be played by you and me alone, and it's too shabby. From now on, you must train more subordinates, and in the future, they will do the work of missionary work to other tribes, and you, the oracle, only need to sit in the temple and receive the worship of the believers. Si Wan left happily, and Hong Tao began to arrange work for Luo Youde again. Now this handsome old guy must play the role of Ouyang Qing, and he can't stay here for a long time, so the real divine envoy has to be Luo Youde.
