Although in terms of transporting troops, the northern group of the empire bought a lot of time, but the next march was in a hurry.

Mexico is mountainous, and you can even say that the whole country is in the mountains, the Mexican highlands. In the middle, of course, there's a Mapimi Basin.

And with such a terrain, it is very difficult to be fast. Fortunately, this time the friendly Indians, they turned out to be the head snakes of the ground, this area is very familiar, so if you want to advance, you have to listen to them.

This is also why, Song Yulong has nothing to do with Jerónimo.

The goal of the Northern Bloc is Juarez, yes, this time they will go straight to El Paso and kill Juarez, the president of Mexico, and if they want to go to El Paso, then they must go along the Yaqui River first.

No way, you can't do it without following this river, it's all mountains!

And the direction of this river is north-south, north-south, anyway, it is a bit of a nine-bend and eighteen bends, because most of the mountains in Mexico are north-south, so in this way, there is almost a distance of more than 600 kilometers, and it is likely to be double or double as much!

"When is this a head?"

"Who knows."

"Let's go slowly......"

The conversation between Song Yulong, Gao Zhenyu, and Yang Willy is very representative of the inner thoughts of the imperial soldiers, no way, let's go slowly......

It is somewhat surprising that the Northern Group is moving so slowly, although Geronimo has previously told the general situation in northern Mexico, but the reality is even more cruel.

However, at this time, the southern group, that is, the army led by His Majesty the Emperor. It's progressing very fast!

Bang! Bang!

It's almost bloodless. The 35th day after the special editor took Guadalajara. The Imperial Army has attacked the phased goal of this war, Querétaro!

The French army simply fled, and there was no decent resistance at all, to be honest, this made Li Mengyang feel very strange.

Although this place is not particularly important, it is a transportation artery, right between Mexico City and Guanajuato, normally speaking. You shouldn't give up so lightly.

However, this was the case now, and after a symbolic resistance of the French army retreated, running faster than a rabbit!

Li Mengyang is very unclear, but since he has won the ......

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

The soldiers of the empire are very happy, they have fought all the way, it is really smooth, and they have followed the emperor to fight, it seems that they have not encountered any problems, and they are all crushed!

"陛xià. Wechen heard that there is a very nice place in this Querétaro, and our sergeant had better check it out. ”

Fight out. Naturally, everyone was happy, and Ocassi made another suggestion.

"Where is it?" Li Mengyang really doesn't know anything about Mexico.

Really, just this country for us Chinese, even in the era when the network was so developed in later generations, most of the Chinese know Mexico about this country, know that this country is chaotic, know that this country football is good, basically that's it, this is all erudite, but something else, hey~

"It's the Franciscan church." Ocassi gave the answer.

"Oh." Li Mengyang's interest came.

Querétaro is not very famous, but in fact, it is still a good place in the country of Mexico, it is a rare plain, of course, surrounded by mountains.

But at the foot of Mount Sheragortha, there are five churches, oh yes, more than one, it's five, and all of them are Franciscan churches!

The Franciscans are a Catholic denomination, and this church originally focused on asceticism, begging, and it was quite bitter anyway, but then it was reformed, and it split into many small sects, white people, they like to split.

So, it's a place with a lot of history and a lot of meaning......

"Oh God!"

"Hallelujah ......"

There were quite a few Irish in the revolutionary army of the Empire, and there were also Franciscans, although there were not many of them, but such a move would make Catholics feel very warm.

That's right, that's the purpose, you know, the structure of the imperial army has changed a lot now, the number of Chinese has increased, and there are even blacks.

Don't look at the American Civil War to liberate the blacks, but in fact, the American Civil War started without a single black soldier, and knew that black soldiers had only recently appeared.

Therefore, no one knows how much impact these changes will have on the psychology of the imperial soldiers, especially the original revolutionary army.

In this regard, Li Mengyang actually talked to the generals, that is, the reality determines this structure, the Chinese riot in California, don't we want them?

But after all, there is also an impact, after all, people are different races, and beliefs are very different.

If we in China want to talk about religion or something, it can be regarded as a god and Buddha, but in fact, we Chinese are a pragmatic nation, and according to those standards of the West, we Chinese simply belong to no faith!

People believe in God, that is wholeheartedly, don't say anything, you can do all kinds of things for God, the Crusades were all believers, and these believers, where did their armor and swords come from?

At that time, a pair of armor was worth a lot of money, and many believers bought equipment with all their money!

And we Chinese, that burning incense and worshipping Buddha are all about trading with gods and Buddhas, by the way, gods, if you can fulfill our wishes, then I will burn more incense for you, otherwise, hum!

This contrast is too great, but to say Li Mengyang's thoughts, then he really thinks that our Chinese ideas are right, where are there gods and Buddhas in this world? Therefore, we Chinese do not believe it, which just proves that we have high IQ and pragmatism, which is very good!

But there is an impact in it, a strong impact, so Okasi's mention is actually to help think of ideas, Emperor Majesty, you have to give an attitude towards this matter.

So what is the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor?

It's a beautiful view......

All right. This is the true portrayal of Li Mengyang's heart at this time.

I saw the blue sky and white clouds. Far away on the edge of a mountain. There are five Baroque churches standing, with a very strong Spanish style and a very authentic Catholic Church flavor, which can not let a tourist ......

This, Li Mengyang sometimes really has a kind of tourist mentality, at least the curiosity part is like this, because he has really never seen these things. That's nice.

However, His Majesty the Emperor naturally understood what Okashi meant.

"Comrades!"

Li Mengyang picked a large one among the five churches, and then gathered the Catholics in the revolutionary army.

"We've gone all the way from New York to Panama to California, and now we've built our own country, and now we're helping the Mexicans fight the French invaders, and that's in God's eyes!"

Oh, God?

His Majesty the Emperor even said God, does he also believe in God?

Although Li Mengyang has mentioned God on some occasions. But his religious beliefs have never been explained. You know, the monarchs of Europe and the presidents of the United States must explain their religious beliefs clearly.

However, Li Mengyang is really an atheist, and he really can't deceive people!

But let's talk about God and his old man, it doesn't seem to be anything, right?

Li Mengyang continued: "God must know what we have done! The war itself was all because of the dictator Juarez, who expelled the believers in Mexico! This unrighteous fellow! And now, here we are, we have beaten the French and we will also defeat Juarez! ”

"Oooo

“HAIL-LEE！”

I have to say that His Majesty the Emperor's speech skills are getting more and more powerful, but there doesn't seem to be any dry goods in it?

Li Mengyang hasn't finished yet.

"As for Catholicism, for the Holy See, and for religion, my personal opinion has already been told to everyone! The people of our empire are created equal! He is equal no matter what color he has, and this equality does not mean that we are all the same, this equality means that we all have basic rights, basic rights that a person can have, this is equality! That is, to believe in religion, which is free in the Empire! As the Emperor, I will defend everyone's freedom of belief! ”

As soon as he said this, the whole church was boiling!

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

You know, this place is a church, and in general, 'glory to God,' that's right, and now the glory is to Clint. Plum!

However, Li Mengyang has not finished speaking, "But, comrades, if there are people who use religion to carry out some illegal activities, such as killing, persecuting people, insulting women, etc., then such people are blaspheming, such people are using God to do bad things, and God will be disgraced, so I will definitely crack down on such people!" ”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

Needless to say, many believers have heard a little taste, that is, is this the pope?

Li Mengyang said that the Pope really didn't care, he actually did a very, very big thing just now.

That is, Li Mengyang explained his "Declaration of Equality", that is, he made a small note to the "Declaration of Equality".

Is this important?

It should be said that it is very important!

Because of human beings, how can they be completely equal? Everyone is born different, some people are black, some people are white, so who likes black? Also, some have great power, some have little power, some people are rich, and some people are powerful......

There has never been equality!

But at that time, this declaration was still very correct, and the government was correct, so now, to make a commentary, this is very crucial, this is about the general righteousness, not even religion, but the general righteousness of the whole society......

Li Mengyang knows that he must not try to be fast, but slowly, and now, let's solve the problem of Mexico first!

This place in Querétaro will definitely have a big war in the near future, so how to fight? (To be continued......)
