Chapter 116: The Portuguese-Chinese Conflict (Part II)
The priest also regretted it very much afterwards, and I have to say that the missionaries of the sixteenth century still had some qualities, and those who did not know were not guilty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info then sincerely apologized to him and explained in detail that you cannot eat blood if you believe in God.
But at this time, I happened to meet a sailor who came to the priest to pray, and the sailor saw someone taking pig's blood porridge to the door of the beloved priest to make trouble, so he was naturally very angry and quarreled with the patient, who actually knew that this was a misunderstanding, but the problem was that these two people did not understand the language, one spoke Chinese, the other spoke Portuguese, and it would be hellish to be able to speak a piece. The priest's Chinese can barely communicate, and he has to take the kind of analogy, and it is too far to achieve simultaneous translation, but although neither of these two people understood what the other party was saying, but they still fought.
In the midst of the pushing, the patient's steaming porridge of pig's blood was sprinkled on the cross hanging on the sailor's chest, and now the matter was a big deal, it was a blasphemy against the Lord, and the angry Portuguese sailor slew the infidel in the heat of the moment.
The patient was killed by sailors, but the patient's family did not know that his son was at the age of his blood, and when he heard that his father was dead, he thought that the priest had killed him, so the son, who avenged his father, took a knife and killed the priest.
Now the matter is a big deal, the priest's status in this group of Portuguese is very high, almost second only to the fleet commander Warlords, so the Portuguese clamored to deal with the murder, and the local county Cheng believes that the patient's son is avenging his father after all, even if he kills the wrong person, it is at most a manslaughter, in the Ming law, avenging the father is filial piety, there is no crime, even if he kills the wrong person, he will be sentenced to exile at most. This Macau is already the southernmost part of the Ming Dynasty, where else can I put it?
The Portuguese, on the other hand, clamored for the murder of the priest to be burned, and the conflict between the two sides grew stronger and greater, until in the end it simply became a conflict between the Portuguese and all the natives of Macau. Fortunately, one of the two parties took into account the musket in the hand on the opposite side, and Xiao Tian, who was estimated to be far away on Xia Ke Island, were quite restrained, but they couldn't be suppressed, if Xiao Tian came two days late, it was estimated that this would be a river of blood.
Now that Xiaotian is here, both parties feel that they are justified, and they both feel that they are wronged, and they are waiting for Xiaotian to give an explanation.
The question of faith has been the most difficult problem for rulers for thousands of years, especially in Europe during this period, when theocracy was even above the regime, and if this problem was not solved, his cooperation with the Portuguese would come to an end, and the possibility of conflict was not impossible.
In fact, a priest or a villager is only a small problem at the level of national policy, but the problem reflected in it is more serious, and Warostar once again proposed that the Portuguese need a safer living environment, and put forward a request to lease land in Macao.
The sovereignty problem is a matter of principle for Xiaotian, which cannot be agreed to in any case, and it is not difficult to solve the matter this time, each of them will play thirty boards, the two killed are quite unlucky, and the two murderers are still alive, Xiaotian simply sentenced the two murderers to death, but now the problem is no longer the problem of these two murderers, he must find a way to appease the anger of the two sides, and how to protect his sovereignty without forcing the Portuguese away.
This is actually quite tricky, because although Xiao Tian has a knighthood, he has no direct subordinate relationship with the government of this place, and the priest is a member of the Holy See, and he has no subordinate relationship with Hua Luoshi.
Thinking about it from Xiao Tian and Hua Luoshi themselves, they must hope that this matter can be turned into a big thing as soon as possible, and a small matter will be turned into a small matter, and it will be a big deal for Xiao Tian to pay some money privately. But it's not something the two of them can do with the Lord.
Xiaotian, this is the Ming Dynasty after all, although the Ming Dynasty is not as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, but this temperament is really not a joke, look at what people do, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies Sheji, the emperor was captured by the Tatars and was not convinced, and now let us bow our heads with these red-haired devils? Are you kidding. Xiao Tian can guarantee that if he doesn't understand how to deal with this matter today, it won't take a few days to fill the cabinet with his folds.
Not to mention Valoshi, the emperors of Europe have to be crowned by the pope these days, you say you are a dead priest, and you just stopped? Do you want to be a commander anymore?
Therefore, this matter has become a dead end, and it must be explained to both the Holy See and the people of Daming and Macao, and it must not damage sovereignty.
The two murderers had already been cut down, but Xiao Tian was also tripped here, he didn't dare to go now, the front foot might not be the back foot of the Portuguese would make trouble, if there were a few more lives, Xiao Tian couldn't hold it down.
In the past few days, Xiaotian has become a petition office, as the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of Diao Min, the magistrate of this place can't manage things at all, this place is far away from Wanghua, and the government is sometimes not easy to do at all, and there have even been cases of new officials being robbed by Diao Min. Although Xiaotian is a big official, but they are not very accustomed to it, don't look at you with a large army, a whole seventy-year-old man and old lady stand at your door, crying with you on crutches, you can only listen, and dare to lie down on the ground if you say something that people don't like to hear. How did Temeow have the industry of touching porcelain three hundred years ago?
Warlord is not having a good time, the priest is dead, the sailor is also dead, you must know that Xiaotian is only facing defenseless people here after all, no matter how much trouble you make, it is nothing more than disgusting and disgusting you, but the people on the Portuguese side have guns, and it also involves the supreme theocracy, and Warox is even afraid of the mutiny of his troops.
That's not going to work, you have to find a way to get out. Xiao Tian and Hua Luoshi didn't recruit anything, but this matter was solved by an unexpected, but reasonable person, that is, Xiao Tian's younger brother, Leping.
Because of Leping's age, Xiaotian didn't arrange anything for him to do, just let him study his homework all day long, and sometimes he would take it with him, but he didn't let him speak, basically he was a shadow with no sense of existence, but in fact, at present, Xiaotian has no children, and he is the real number two person in Xiaotian Group.
Leping is only twelve years old this year, and he is still a primary school age in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty, what he said has already been listened to.
The so-called duck on the shelf, it is said that Xiao Tian's current scene, Hua Luo Shi happily slapped the document in front of Xiao Tian, and said, "Your Excellency Marquis, your younger brother Little Marquis has reached an understanding with us and completed the agreement, as long as you sign your name on it, this matter will be successfully resolved."
Xiao Tian was almost completely unaware of the whole thing, not to mention how painful his expression was when he saw that all the rules and regulations had been drawn up. (To be continued.) )
