Chapter 389: Strategy Lesson on Coercion (Part II)

Give back to others in their own way!

This sentence exploded in the ears of Shiro Amakusa Shizhen like a thunderclap.

Yes!

If the infidels can use butcher's knives and sticks to force the disciples to abandon, why can't they use the same methods against the infidels? You know, I have a holy relic blessed by the Pope in my hand!

Shiro took a deep look at Chu Fan, who was breezy and calm, and his eyes were irrepressibly full of surprise and reverence—this Ming man was really a prophet sent by God to save the Chezhi Dan Sect!

Not only did he help himself grasp the key point in the messy and complicated teaching affairs, but also pointed out the idea of solving this problem from a completely unexpected angle!

This is not to blame Shiro for being unheard of, but because Catholicism has been in a very weak position since the day it was introduced to Japan, not to mention the missionaries and the rulers of the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and even when it came into conflict with Japan's original religions, Shinto and Buddhism, they were low-key and cautious.

That is, there are no clergy in the Catholic system on Kyushu Island now, which has pushed the unscrupulous Amakusa Shiro Shizhen to the position of the head of the church, if Chu Fan dared to say this to the Japanese bishop appointed by Macau, it is estimated that he would have been driven out as a monster!

It is precisely because the Chezhi Danjiao has been cornered, and the so-called "barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes", that Shiro will deeply agree with this seemingly deviant strategy proposed by Chu Fan.

"First of all, it is necessary to establish a perfect property system, we might as well call it the 'holy treasury' system," Chu Fan continued to talk eloquently in the face of Shiro, who listened to Lunyin, "All pagans who refuse to join the religion will have all their property confiscated and included in the holy treasury, and at the same time, they must atone for their sins through labor or war...... The houses and fields of the pagans must be completely destroyed, and only by cutting off their back roads can they serve God wholeheartedly...... In this way, with the flow of jihadist camps, the more places that are defeated, the more abundant the holy treasury will be, and the problem of insufficient funds for jihadist camps will be solved. …… And the infidels have nothing left, and there is no way out except to follow you, Shiro, you usually preach diligently, and give the sacrament according to the performance of each person, and as the days go by, are you afraid that they will not serve God sincerely? …… In this way, not only will the problem of money be solved, but the source of troops for the jihadist battalion will also be solved, and it won't be long before your jihadist battalion can easily exceed 20,000 people, and then not to mention just one Nagasaki, even the whole of Japan will be bathed in the holy light of God! ”

The bright prospect described by Chu Fan made Shiro's eyes light up when he heard it, and he was immersed in the dream of the whole country and the Communist Party.

"The second is deterrence. For the daimyo and castle lords whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chechi Dan, those who betrayed God, and those accomplices and lackeys of the shogunate, in addition to seizing their property, they must also sacrifice their lives to God," Chu Fan raised a second finger, "Killing people can establish power, and all of Japan must know what the price of persecution and betrayal will be, so that those infidels who hold high the butcher's knife can have scruples, and in order to save those disciples who are beyond the reach of the whip...... Especially those landlords and samurai nobles in the countryside, who have a lot of money but don't know how to help the cultists, they should be killed! ”

Shiro nodded frequently when he heard this, and simply got up and brought a pen and paper, and recorded them one by one.

"The third is mobility, which is very critical." Speaking of this, Chu Fan was even more solemn - in real history, the Chezhi Dan disciples were besieged twice by the shogunate because they occupied the original city, and finally destroyed; And now this Amakusa Shiro Shizhen is also obsessed with occupying Nagasaki as a stronghold, so Chu Fan must reverse his concept.

"Flow?" Shiro stopped his pen and looked at Chu Fan suspiciously.

"That's right! Flowing! Chu Fan nodded heavily, "Don't think about the gains and losses of one city and one place!" …… The goal of the jihadist camp is to travel all over Kyushu Island and even all of Japan! …… Only by traveling all over Kyushu can we save all the disciples who are facing the threat of death! …… Don't go toe-to-toe with the shogunate and the Daimyo's army, especially if the jihadist battalion isn't strong enough...... Unless it is absolutely necessary, the jihadist camp should never be used lightly...... You have in your hands the infidels who have not yet been converted, so let them consume the enemy...... Arm them with captured weapons, motivate them with joining the holy war camps, tempt them with holy communion to fight the enemy to the death...... When the shogunate or the daimyo's army has exhausted its strength, ammunition, and morale on the infidels, that is the time for the jihadist battalion to strike...... Thunder strikes, success will take advantage of the victory to pursue, if there is an unfavorable, immediately flee, remember not to fight! ”

"Far away? So what about those infidels? Shiro asked, his eyes wide.

Chu Fan didn't answer his question, smiled slightly, picked up the teacup on the small table and took a sip.

“…… I understand," after being stunned for a while, Shiro finally reacted, but with a look of unbearability, "It seems a bit ...... to treat them like this"

"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!" Chu Fan's voice was very soft, but his tone was very heavy, "Shiro, those who become big things are not informal...... Which of the famous generals in history did not come by stepping on the bones of a lot of corpses? …… Don't talk about the Ming Dynasty, let's just say that the three closest people in Japan, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, are there still fewer people who died at their hands? Even if it's their own ashigaru and samurai ...... There is an old Chinese saying that if you want to achieve the great cause of reviving the Chezhi Dan Sect, is it possible not to die? Moreover, it is the infidels who die...... Your core is the Jihadist Battalion, and only the Jihadist Battalion is the foundation, and everything else, even the ordinary Christians, can be sacrificed if necessary! …… Sacrifice is the best way to serve God! ”

Shiro was dumbfounded, and after thinking about it for a long time, he reluctantly agreed with this truth.

Next, Chu Fan clarified a lot of details for Shiro: for example, the scope of the flow was set in the southern part of Kyushu Island - of course, Chu Fan's selfishness was in it; Logistically, Chu Fan sent three captured ships to Shiro so that they could march from Amakusa Island to Satsuma; As for the most critical grain and black fire* medicine, Chu Fan promised to provide them in sufficient quantities, but he had to ask Shiro to buy them at the market price......

The two of them didn't finish their conversation until dark, and on a snowy night, the small church in the center of Uozuni Town lit up with a dim light, like a faint spark on the dark and dreary land of Japan.

It was precisely because of Chu Fan's strong intervention and support that the largest peasant uprising in Japan, which should have broken out at the end of 1637 in real history, broke out a full eight years ahead of schedule!

And at the beginning, it will quickly spread across the island of Kyushu in a way that the shogunate has never seen and that it can't even think of, and eventually leads to the division of Japan! (To be continued.) )
