Chapter 0900. No compromises
It is true that every institution has this system to maintain its function, especially when the power of the early papacy was not too great, and its rights and duties of papal election are quite fair, and the pope of today cannot exert authority inside and outside the church like the popes of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. [Ran^Text^Library] []
Nor did Eugene II have the right to say that the expulsion of a cardinal is to the point of excommunication.
The question is, it's a time of crisis for the city-wide rebellion, and who cares about that.
Hearing the Pope's unquestionable and firm refusal, Chen Zhangming and Yang Xiong's faces were not good-looking, Zhong Huang was even more angry and raised her good-looking eyebrows, and asked solemnly: "Your Majesty the Pope, are you sure you will not expel Archbishop Adeodatus, the traitor who is now leading the rebellion of the Roman mob?" ”
"The excommunication of a bishop must go through a religious trial!"
The emaciated face was still full of seriousness, and Eugene I did not compromise in the slightest.
"Good! Governor Chen, the Holy See personnel openly rebelled against our Fujian country, the Pope also shielded it, has betrayed our Fujian country, as a Fujian expeditionary force, the protector of Rome, I ask you to perform your duties immediately, wave your army into the city, anyone who dares to rebel regardless of their identity, will be killed on the spot, no mercy! ”
"This ......"
Regardless of whether it is active or passive to pick up cheap, now more than half of the people in Rome City are making a fuss, if according to Zhong Huang's killing method, at least more than half of the population will be eliminated, then it will really be full of corpses, and manslaughter can make the Holy See suffer a catastrophe.
On the one hand, the Min army was invited by the Pope, and the expeditionary force did not want to make too much trouble with the Pope, on the other hand, if they wanted to gain a foothold in the land of Rome, they also needed the support of the Romans.
Especially although Zhong Huang is the mistress of King Min, after all, he is just a businessman without an official body, this kind of command tone makes the two chief officials feel very uncomfortable, frowning, Yang Xiong's face is unhappy and he wants to persuade Zhong Huang to write something.
As if seeing that the two civil and military officials were embarrassed to shirk, Zhong Huang suddenly stretched out his hand from her golden brocade sleeve, and lit a shining purple-gold fish talisman in front of the two of them, and roared in a serious voice: "The King of Min has given the purple gold fish talisman, and Miss Ben can control all the power of the expeditionary force at a critical moment!" King Min's order, can't you wait? ”
The fish charm is carved quite exquisitely, a lifelike koi, the lines are clear, the details are even depicted with cloud patterns, a good image of the dragon, the north side is also engraved with the Qinci police captain bell, such as the lonely person to visit a few simple and vigorous official books, as well as the seal of the King of Fujian.
This thing can't be faked in this era, stunned for a moment, Chen Zhangming and Yang Xiong immediately clasped their fists on their heads and bowed respectfully.
"Minister Chen Zhangming/Yang Xiong knocks to see His Majesty King Min!"
It is written on the token that if the lonely person comes, seeing the order is like seeing someone, according to the etiquette system, the two must kneel and worship.
Leng Buding watched the two of them kneel, a dramatic scene, Eugene I was a little stunned, but Zhong Huang was not stunned, his lips were lightly opened, and he ordered decisively: "King Min said, the Min Kingdom can lose the Holy See and the Italian Peninsula, but it must not bear betrayal!" Spread the order of the king of Fujian, protect Chen Zhangming, and the marching commander Shi Yangxiong immediately led his troops into the city to quell the rebellion! Those who dare to betray the Fujian country will be killed! ”
This is not Zhong Huang pulling the banner to avenge the shops he destroyed, but Li Jie ordered before setting off, for these foreign countries, there will be no compromise and no tenderness.
In the era when Li Jie came from, Indonesia was anti-Chinese, India was anti-Chinese, and the United States even openly formulated the "Chinese Exclusion Act".
Especially in the 98 years of the Indonesian anti-Chinese incident, the government and the army openly organized a massacre of defenseless Chinese, tens of thousands of Chinese were killed in a short period of time, even women and children were not spared, the roads in Jakarta were full of bloody stumps and flesh, the scene was like hell, and there were even rioters who openly shouted, how much money can be obtained for raping a Chinese woman, and how much money can be exchanged for cutting off the skin of a Chinese skull.
Such a naked contempt, but at that time, Huaxia was forced by the strong military pressure of neighboring countries, just a few words of protest, although not angry, but this incident was still a great indignation for Li Jie when he was a student.
Why is it that every time the country is not well governed, the hard-working and kind-hearted Chinese must bear the responsibility, and every time they let groups of ugly mobs bully the Chinese again and again, so before setting off this time, Li Jie had a secret order to Zhong Huang.
Once there is an incident of provocation by the exclusion of Fujian, no matter what the other party is, they must not be soft-hearted, and they must all be ruthlessly killed.
This is not only Li Jie's righteous indignation, but also represents the interests of the Min Empire, the territory is in the place where the Chinese have never arrived, and the national policy of the Fujian State in the future will continue to export the population, if this time shows weakness and compromise, how should the immigrants in the future deal with themselves in a foreign land?
This will Zhong Huang represent the words of the King of Fujian, and the words are different, just now it was the wild words of the little female businessman, but now it is a real killing machine, it is the holy decree of the King of Fujian, and it must be carried out, Chen Zhangming is a martial artist, and he immediately kowtowed and agreed.
"Command!"
Yang Xiong is a civil official after all, and he is from Honglu Temple, who is engaged in diplomacy, if he slaughters tens of thousands of Romans, after all, he is a little unbearable, hesitated for a moment, he frowned and arched his fist: "Mrs. Zhong, even if you want to kill, now our army in Rome City is only a little more than a thousand, and half of them are guarding the city gate, suppressing the rebellion of tens of thousands of people, it is also powerless, why not wait until the evening, as soon as the 3,000 reinforcements from Pinghu Fort arrive, the troops are sufficient, our army can immediately kill into the city and kill all the thugs?" ”
This is reasonable, but Zhong Huang, who heard it, frowned and shook his head.
"One day is too long, there are still immigrants from our Fujian country in the city, and the mob may return to my settlement at any time, and the escaped mob will make the entire Italian peninsula look down on my Fujian, I can't wait!"
"But the strength ......"
"There are still 10,000 Lombards imprisoned in the mines outside the city, let them out, give them weapons, promise to get rid of slaves, join our expeditionary army to protect the palace as soldiers, and those who have military merits will be knighted, and the Lombards will definitely be willing to fight for my Fujian!"
This is a solution, it is not accidental that Zhong Huang can think of it, in the past, in Fujian, Li Jie recruited a lot of She people to enlist in the army. Although it is not a pre-battle recruitment, with this precedent, Chen/Yang can accept it, solemnly hugging his fists, Chen Zhangming immediately replied impassionedly: "The minister takes the order." ”
Ordered the soldiers to guard the capital and protect the mansion, leading dozens of cavalry, Chen Zhangming and Anda protected Zhong Huang, and planned to ride out of the city and follow them, Yang Xiong is An An complained bitterly, while coping with the preparations, while quietly pulling over Eugene I, who couldn't understand Huaxia and was confused, whispered: "The general and Mrs. Zhong want to lead the Lombards into the city." ”
Hearing this, Pope Eugene shuddered.
The current ruin of the city of Rome is caused by the previous barbarian raids and looting, Eugene went to Fujian to meet Li Jie in person, just to maintain the ** of the Holy See, and did not want the Lombards to add a few more scars to the already bruised Rome, but now it is good, the Min people actually want to lead these Germanic barbarians into the city.
Eugene can even imagine that the ruined Roman city, which has only a population of more than 100,000 people, is ravaged by more than 10,000 barbarian warriors, and the scene is miserable and wailing.
Seeing this, the old Pope anxiously stamped his feet in the back.
Not far from the city of Rome, a huge iron mine stands on the Italian plain, since the city of Rome, the Romans have been digging iron here to make weapons and armor, during the Roman Empire, there were even tens of thousands of slaves working at the same time, as long as seven or eight hundred years of excavation, so that this place has been dug out of a huge sinkhole.
Today, one-third of the captured Lombards, who were enslaved, were now held to mine in order to supply them on the spot.
The huge sinkhole cliff was so steep that it was impossible to get out except for the ramp at the exit, so the Min army only put a hundred or so people to completely control the mine, and there was no need to send overseers inside, and there was no iron to send out, and there was no food to send in.
It's an exaggeration to say it's hell.
On this day, under the scorching sun, more than 10,000 slaves were still at the bottom of the mine under the sun that made their backs hot, full of resentment and constantly digging such a large grave for themselves, but they were unprepared for the monitoring tunnel dug by the Fujian people halfway up the mountainside, and suddenly a rush of footsteps came, and a moment later, a Fujian woman wearing a red Fujian country curled deep clothes, cold and arrogant like a phoenix, pacing, briskly walking out of the black corridor, followed by a sweaty and chubby translator.
Even if they were imprisoned as slaves, this group of barbarians still couldn't change their anger, and some of the perverted ruffians who hadn't seen a woman for a long time immediately whistled shyly, and one of them even shouted at Zhong Huang in a smooth tone in Rumba: "The little lady is itching under her skin, isn't it?" Min people, that thing can't satisfy you, right? Come down, Uncle Rumba will make you feel refreshed. ”
The sound of flirting immediately caused a large circle of mining efforts around the hall to laugh, and the obese barbarian interpreter was sweating profusely and didn't know how to translate for Zhong Huang.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper Zhong didn't have the heart to know what the slave was shouting, so he directly opened his lips lightly and said coldly and arrogantly: "If you can fight like a man, put down the hoe in your hand and gather at the entrance!" ”
The interpreter's hissing roar immediately made the thousands of Lumba slaves boil over like a pot of porridge, and the silence was so quiet that even a needle could be clearly heard falling to the ground.
Vaguely, these people seemed to see a little hope of going out......
