It was a small church.

Built in a small valley about a mile from the sea, with white gables facing the bay, typical Gothic architecture, exuding a strong European medieval flavor.

But now the big cross at the top of the church had been broken and hung down diagonally, and something seemed to be set on fire behind the gable, emitting thick black smoke, blown by the wind, twisted and floated into the sky.

Around the church is a group of people, mostly dressed in bamboo armor and wearing triangular hats with a piece of cloth hanging from the back; He wears bamboo armor on his body, carries a so-called iron cannon like a bird's gun on his back, and hangs a knife from his waist.

The leader, who is clearly dressed as a samurai—wears a samurai uniform with wide robes and large sleeves in winter, with a bare head and a high bun; With two knives pinned to his waist, one long and one short, he was dancing with his hands and commanding the group of people wearing hats.

The distance was a bit far, and Chu Fan watched for a long time before he could see what they were going to do, and it turned out that he had dragged some people of different colors out of the church and threw them into a big pit in front of the church-the heart-rending cries could be heard clearly even from a distance of more than a mile!

Soon the orange-red flames rose into the air, and Chu Fan could even see those people wearing hats stretching out their feet and kicking back the people who wanted to crawl out of the fire pit!

"These brutes!" Yan Ruxue beside him gritted her teeth and scolded, Chu Fan could feel her little hand in her palm trembling slightly, "I'm killing the Chezhi Dan Sect again!" ”

"Chezhidan?" Chu Fan looked at the cross that hung diagonally, and muttered suspiciously, "Isn't that the Catholic Church?" ”

"That's right! It's Catholicism," Yan Ruxue explained, "In Japan, the daimyo who believe in Catholicism are called Chechi Dan, so Catholicism in Japan is also called Chechi Dan. ”

"Oh," Chu Fan suddenly realized, and then turned his head to look at Yan Ruxue, "Ruxue, are you a disciple of the Chezhi Dan?" ”

"I'm not," Yan Ruxue's face was a little unsightly, and she shook her head and said, "But my father is...... My father was not used to seeing the shogunate kill the Kiritan cultists, so he was ready to organize all the religious believers to fight against the shogunate...... As a result, it was discovered by the shogunate who had planted it in the Kishitan cults, and the shogunate searched for my father in Nagasaki and wanted to arrest my father, but my father had no way to escape from Nagasaki...... Later, there was a large cottage. ”

As the Dawn walked slowly, the church had faded out of their sight, and only billowing smoke was still rising from behind the ridge.

Pulling Yan Ruxue, Chu Fan sat down side by side with her on the bow of the boat, and then asked, "Why did the shogunate kill the Chezhi Dan cultists?" ”

"I don't know what's going on," Yan Ruxue thought for a while and said, "It seems to say that Kishita was developed when Oda was in charge of Japan, although he was not religious, he took good care of Kirichidan, and he never interfered in building churches and missions." ”

As soon as Yan Ruxue said Oda, Chu Fan immediately remembered who it was, that was Oda Nobunaga, the head of Japan's so-called "Three Masters of the Warring States" - it turned out that Catholicism in Japan was developed in the hands of Oda Nobunaga, and this was the first time I had heard of it.

"Later, that monkey became Guan Bai and began to persecute the Chezhi Dan disciples......" Yan Ruxue's tone turned cold, and she said with a little gritted teeth.

Monkey? Chu Fan thought about it, he knew who it was, it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was also the "Three Heroes of the Warring States".

Because he paid attention to the Korean battle in the Wanli period, Chu Fan knew a lot about this Lord Guan Bai, who unified Japan, and even knew that he didn't even have a surname before his career, only a nickname "Hiyoshi Maru", of course, he knew his nickname "Monkey" at that time, and Guan Bai was the ancient official name of Japan, which is equivalent to the prime minister of China.

“…… At first, the monkey turned a blind eye to Chejidan, but later, he didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he actually drove away all the priests of the Franc machine in Kyushu overnight...... After the old turtle in Edo came to power, he intensified his efforts, not only forbidding the Kishitan to go to the church for Mass, but even forcing the Zhidan followers to abandon the church, and those who dared to resist burned the church and killed the believers, just like you saw just now," Yan Ruxue said hatefully, "The Tokugawa family has no good things, a family of turtles!" ”

The "tortoise" in her mouth naturally refers to the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, the last of the "Three Masters of the Warring States" - Tokugawa Ieyasu, this guy lived to be seventy-three years old before dying, but he did not live up to his nickname of "tortoise".

"Your father is Chechidan, so your uncles and uncles are also Chechidan?" Chu Fan sighed and asked Yan Ruxue about the situation of her uncles - this must start to prepare.

"There are a lot of them, such as Uncle Ji you have seen," Yan Ruxue's tone turned to judo, "There is also Uncle Wudao's assistant, he is not only himself, but the aunt of the Arima family who married later is also Chezhi Dan...... Of course, there are also not, such as Uncle Yang Tiansheng, who went back to Fujian, he didn't believe in anything. ”

Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Chu Fan and said with a smile, "Hehe, he is the most knowledgeable of my father's brothers, and like you, he is also a talent." ”

Chu Fan has something on his mind now, and he is eager to get those uncles' information out of her mouth, so he doesn't have time to gag with her, "...... Then let me ask you, did this Uncle Yang Tiansheng send his nephew to chase you? ”

"Chase me?" Yan Ruxue's eyes widened, and she asked suspiciously, "Why are you chasing me if you have nothing to do?" Whoever eats a leopard dares to chase me, see that I don't kill him! ”

Chu Fan touched his nose in embarrassment, he didn't choose what to say, he forgot how Yan Ruxue could understand what it meant to chase girls, so he had to change his question, "Hmm...... So which brothers do you usually play with? ”

Yan Ruxue raised her head and said while thinking, "Hmm...... There is the third brother of the Wang family, he is stupid, and I don't understand what to do...... There is a Cheng brother of the Li family, who has a straight face all day long, which is the most boring......"

She muttered a lot, and Chu Fan listened to it loudly - oh my God! Do you want so many rivals in love?

"My least favorite is the Zheng family's leopard brother." Yan Ruxue frowned when she said this.

"The Zheng family?" Chu Fan also frowned, "Zheng Zhilong's younger brother? ”

"That's right, it's his younger brother, named Zheng Zhibao." Yan Ruxue nodded, and only then did she react, and asked in surprise, "How do you know him?" ”

Chu Fan realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly looked for a shield, "...... What did the snail tell me...... By the way, why don't you like him the most? ”

Yan Ruxue pouted, "He's the kind of person who fakes to death, obviously he doesn't like to play with me, and he desperately pretends to be happy, hum!" ”

As soon as she said this, Chu Fan's head became bigger, it seems that for the sake of this baby aunt, the heroes of all walks of life really have their own strange tricks, and they can fight hard.

Just when they bit their ears and said love words, there was a cloud of sails in front of them.

Nagasaki, it's finally here.
