Night falls, and darkness strikes.

Martin, dressed in black Dalaris and holding a Bible in his left hand, walked through the door humming an out-of-tune ditty, smelling of wine.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that there was a black-haired young man sitting in his room, and he was taken aback and stopped immediately.

"Who are you?"

Father Martin asked aloud.

"Dear Father Martin, you don't remember me so soon? I've sent you three letters before, and you forgot? ”

"It's you, what are you going to do?" "I have already replied to you, I am serving God, not a secular emperor. ”

"God"

The black-haired young man snorted coldly, "Your Chinese is good, so you should also know the origin of the word Chinese God, right?" At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Catholicism was introduced to China, when people translated it as God according to the phrase "Supreme Mo Ruotian, Supreme Ruo Ruo Lord" in ancient Chinese books, which means Allah of the universe, and the master of the Lord God is also the Lord of the universe. Later, Protestantism was also introduced to China, and there were those who called Catholicism the Old Religion and those who called Protestantism Christianity. ”

"You're right."

"Bah, in this Chinese territory, there is only one person who can be called the Supreme Mo Ruotian and the Supreme Mo Ruo Lord, and that is the Son of Heaven. And you dare to call your God God God in vain? Do your gods still want to be above the Son of Heaven? ”

"Oh, everything in the universe was created by God, and mankind was created by God"

The black-haired young man interrupted Father Martin with a wave of his hand.

"You can spread your set on your own territory as you want, but this is Luzon, and now it is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and what you spread here is all heresy and nonsense. Father Martin, I have sent you three letters in a row, asking him to take the initiative to report to the Han and accept the religious policy management of the Han, but you have been ignoring them. ”

"Everything can be done twice, you have been preaching in the East for so long, haven't you even learned this?" The black-haired young man sneered a few times and said disdainfully. This young man is not small, but also very mysterious, from the newly established special department of the imperial court, the Inquisition.

This Inquisition may be different from the Inquisition in Western countries, it is not an intra-religious organization, but a national organization. There are now two religious administration departments in Dahan, one is the Religious Administration Bureau, which is responsible for managing all religious affairs in Dahan, and the other is this Inquisition, and many people don't even know about the existence of this yamen.

The Inquisition is the Jinyi Guards of the religious world, and their main task is to monitor and investigate all religious organizations and people, and to carry out the task of eliminating those 'heretics' who disobey the discipline of the imperial court.

The Emperor of Heaven said that the Han Dynasty should build an inclusive religious environment that allows freedom of belief.

However, there are limits to this tolerance and freedom, and there will never be unlimited freedom.

In particular, the Islamic religion that has great influence on Tibetan Buddhism, European Catholicism, Christianity, Orthodox Christianity, and the Anglican Church of England, as well as the Western Regions, Central Asia, South Seas, India, the Middle East and other places, is the focus of prevention.

These religions are only religions and no country, and the Han will never let down their vigilance.

The imperial court has promulgated a religious policy, requiring all religions in the Han Dynasty to be registered with the imperial court, and every temple, Taoist temple, church, etc., including their assets and personnel, must be clearly registered. Buddhism is not allowed to be lightly shaved, and Catholicism and Christianity are not allowed to be baptized lightly.

Whether they wanted to baptize or ordain, they had to apply to the imperial court in advance, and they had to get the approval of the imperial court, and they had to pay a special fee.

At the same time, the teachings of all religions had to be revised, they had to conform to the situation of the Han Dynasty, and they had to pass the examination and approval of the imperial court.

All religious organizations must be controlled and supervised by the imperial court, and bishops, abbots, and so on at all levels must be appointed and dismissed by the imperial court.

In short, under this newly promulgated religious policy, both Catholicism and Islam will eventually become a completely Chinese religion, just like the previous Buddhism, especially since they will also be separated from the churches abroad. Catholicism is no longer under the authority of the Pope, they have to accept the rule of the Son of Heaven.

As soon as this policy was introduced, many religious believers were dissatisfied and resisted, and they received a notice asking them to register with the government, but they refused to do so.

Even ignoring the decrees of the imperial court and continuing to engage in various assembly ceremonies, he still preached the past set.

In the previous preparatory stage, the emperor directly issued an order to recruit 100,000 people from among the retired officers and soldiers.

An Inquisition, with a layered structure of 100,000 people, has finally struck.

"Father Martin, we gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

"Young man, I admit that the army of the Han Empire is very strong, and you have defeated Spain and taken Luzon. It is true that many of the clergy have left, but I am still holding on to the land of the Lord and still guiding the lost lamb to him. ”

Liu Changshun just smiled.

"You speak so smoothly in Chinese, haven't you heard a great Han saying, which is called not to cry if you don't see a coffin?"

Martin looked at Liu Changshun who was sitting there, "You can't threaten me, this is my parishion, and outside is my parishion, as long as I shout loudly, lure them in, and then tell them that you want to threaten the Lamb of the Lord, what do you think they will do?" ”

"Oh, I can tell you're threatening me now." Liu Changshun smiled, "But do you really think your threat is useful to me?" Or do you think I'm coming alone? ”

After speaking, Liu Changshun slapped a few times.

There was one sound after another outside, and the sound was somewhat familiar.

Father Martin suddenly realized that it was the sound of a sword unsheathed. Something is not like it, it should be a short sword, or a bayonet.

"What do you want to do, don't mess around, think about the consequences, you can't afford the wrath of the Lord?"

"The wrath of the Lord? Hahaha, this is the big man, don't tell me about the anger of the lord, what is really unbearable is the anger of the son of the great man. Father Martin, on behalf of the Inquisition of the Holy Han Empire, I now announce the verdict against you! ”

"Heretics who worship superstitious gods must die!"

Martin shouted angrily, grabbed two candlesticks and was about to smash them at Liu Changshun.

Liu Changshun had already drawn out two muskets at a faster speed.

The flintlock rear-loading rifle gun has a longer range, faster rate of fire, and is more powerful.

There was a bang, and a puff of smoke came out of the muzzle of the gun in Liu Changshun's left hand, and Father Martin's body stopped, and the candlestick in his hand fell to the ground, revealing a bloody hole in his forehead.

Red blood ran down his face, slid through the shocked eyes, and finally dripped on the cross on his chest, falling to the ground, soaking the fallen Bible.

Liu Changshun raised the gun in his hand, blew at the muzzle, and said coldly at the corpse, "Never try to confront the Great Han, even if you claim to be a god or a master, here, there is only one God, and that is the Son of Heaven." ”

After putting away the gun, Liu Changshun came out of the church, and there was a row of musketeers standing outside. One by one, they were pointing at a large crowd of people, many of whom were parishioners, who had heard the movement and rushed to the scene.

Liu Changshun smiled at these people, "Maybe if the scars I left on the battlefield were all on my face, I guess I don't have to bother talking about it now." ”

"Let's put up a notice."

A notice bearing the Inquisition's mark was affixed to the church door, along with several seals that also bore the Inquisition.

"Father Martin has ignored imperial decrees, despised the emperor, preached heresy, and now executes the heresy Martin in accordance with the law, this church has been seized, and the church property has been confiscated according to law."

"Oh my God, you can't do that, Father Martin is a good man."

"Yes, Lord."

Many of the parishioners began to gossip, angry and fearful of the black-clad musketeers of the Inquisition.

These musketeers were not small, each with the names of Knights of Judgment and Warriors of Judgment.

If you dare, you can be directly branded as a heretic, and you will be shot and killed on the spot.

"Look at these ignorant guys, who have been fooled by the church people and don't even know their surnames, and they finally make some money, but they still donate to the church. Your Majesty is right to clean up these people, otherwise, in a few years, we Han people will also be corrupted by them. ”

"Bring Martin's church books, find out the ones who are the most active donors in it, and we'll send them to settle in the New World."

This is also a means to make an example of a hundred people, since the court wants to do it, then it must shock these people. Otherwise, it will be quite troublesome.

These stupid guys who desperately donate money must be fanatics, and this kind of person is the most difficult to reason with them, and they are also the most irrational and do not know how to compromise.

Therefore, it is better to strike first and arrest them and send them to the New World.

As for the rest of the parishioners, as long as they can accept the religious policies of the imperial court and obey the management and supervision of the imperial court, the imperial court will also allow them to continue to believe in religion.

The Judge Knight and the Judgment Warrior immediately stepped out and arrested those stupid and rich guys in the crowd according to the list, and sure enough, these people were the most fierce ones just called.

These people were both Han Chinese and some white, and even several indigenous people.

In fact, before they came, Liu Changshun and the others had already investigated this Martin, this church and the parishioners here very clearly.

"Now there are many new immigrants in Tiannan Province, and the officials of Tiannan Province have to thank our inquisitorial office, and this time, at least three or five hundred thousand people can be brought to them."

Liu Changshun laughed a few times, "I think these superstitious people are very rich, so many people donate money to them." There are not only cash but also deposits, as well as land and real estate, and this time the great purge, the imperial court has to make a lot of money. ”

"How many of these Western religions are good, whether they are cross religions or Xingyue religions, they are all cults, and religion is still above the world, it is simply unreasonable. Especially the Xingyue Sect, which has created countless fanatics, only the religion has no country and emperor in their eyes, these people are not good to rectify it, won't our Han Dynasty be controlled by religious influence like those countries in the West in the future? ”

Most of the people in the Inquisition were retired officers, and many of them were laid off because of the downsizing of the troops, because they were wounded, or because they could not be promoted. But basically all of them have spent a few years in the army and been educated in the army for a few years, and this idea is no longer as easy as ordinary people to be influenced by religion.

Especially for those Cross Religions and Xingyue Sects from the West, I don't have a good impression of them.

"I think the imperial court is carrying out this purge at this time, mainly because the Nanyang region and the Western Regions region basically believe in this Xingyue Sect, and the influence is too great. Mongolia and Guanwai, as well as Qinghai-Tibet and Moxi, all believe in Tibetan Buddhism, and these areas are already unstable, and with these more, they are even more unstable. The court is making a move now, and it is a quick knife to cut through the mess, and it will never be a trouble. ”

A purge is unfolding suddenly and rapidly.

Everything was planned and then moved, led by the 100,000 men of the Inquisition, and assisted by police and garrisons from all over the country, making this sudden storm extremely violent.

After Liu Jungang sat on the dragon chair, he also severely cracked down on the Han and sent more than 2 million people to labor camps. Those people were not only his political enemies but also ordinary criminals, as well as many clansmen and relatives of the previous dynasty.

Now, this religious purge is on a much larger scale than that one.

In this early summer, the storm dragon swept through all of the Han Dynasty's controlled territories.

Those who go along prosper and those who rebel die.

Every day there was a report from the Inquisition, and in each report was a set of numbers, how many disobedient people were executed, how many fanatics were exiled to Tien Nam Province, how many church property was confiscated, and so on.

As this storm raged, there were also many stubborn rebels, who began to string together, began to raise flags, and began to make chaos.

But Liu Jun was not merciless this time, and the garrisons, garrisons, and field armies of all provinces received orders to be on standby at any time, and as soon as they discovered the rebellion, they immediately surrounded and suppressed it with a thunderous force.

The heads of the people who were killed were rolling, and the blood was flowing like rivers.

"The heart is not ruthless, and the country is unstable."

In the face of many ministers who entered the palace to persuade him to end this purge, Liu Jun just hummed these seven words coldly. Since you have done it, you have to do it.

This time it is necessary to clean it to the end.

By the way, he also took the opportunity to eradicate many unstable factors in the country, and even the scum criminals who brought the scum and scum were swept away.

The vast Siberia and the vast province of Tiannan are not yet a few people.

In order to sell slaves, the British made extremely strict laws, and if they broke the slightest law, they would be thrown into prison, and then in the blink of an eye, these criminals were exiled to the colony, or simply sold into slavery.

"The heart is not ruthless, and the country is unstable." Liu Jun once again reiterated that this time, Liu Jun had already made up his mind not to arrest 3 million and exile them to Siberia and Australia, and he would never stop. (To be continued.) )
