Chapter 453: That set can't scare us

ps: August has begun, and this month will continue to insist on 10,000 words to see??

With the fall of the Galifford fleet, the Dutch-controlled colonies in the northern Caribbean Sea were left with not even a decent warship, which meant that they no longer had the strength to fight the Imperial fleet.

Now for the Imperial fleet, all they had to do was to sail out of the colonial seas and then fire at the city to force the Dutch to surrender.

It's a very easy thing to do.

And those Dutch officials, when they learned that California had taken all the last warships away, even jumping to their feet and cursing their mothers viciously would be of no avail.

All they could do now was stay in the colonial city and wait for the arrival of the Song Empire's fleet.

Its huge assets have not had time to be transferred, and it seems that they will all be cheaper than the Song Empire in the end.

Even if these people don't want to, there's nothing they can do, and that's the case now.

And the news of the successive victories of the Imperial fleet in the Caribbean Sea was also transmitted back to Manhattan one after another.

The Empire's propaganda department also immediately disseminated the news, so that the citizens of the Empire and those foreign European-American laborers would know what the current situation of the Empire's strategy for the Caribbean was like.

In this way, the hearts of the citizens will be lifted and the citizens of European descent will feel the power of the empire.

This kind of distribution has to be said to be very useful.

The successive victories in the Caribbean show that the Imperial fleet is very strong.

That's what the European-American workers think.

A strong and rich empire, and the environment is better than that of Europe.

The system is also very desirable.

The attraction of such a country to a person is very great.

So, when the Caribbean strategy was announced, there was a boom in citizenship in Manhattan.

Hundreds of thousands of European laborers working in the Empire applied to the Immigration Bureau to join the Empire and become official citizens of the Empire.

Pity. The empire is not as lenient on citizenship as it was a year ago.

Therefore, for those European people who want to join the empire, the selection is very strict.

In the end, only a small number of well-behaved and law-abiding European-American laborers became citizens and became the envy of others.

There are only a few hundred such people.

Originally, the Imperial Immigration Bureau didn't even want a single person, but considering the feelings of European laborers, it was reluctant to accept hundreds of people as citizens.

There are also reasons why these people are the example of these people, and the European workers can see a little hope.

After all. If no one wants it, it will make these European workers feel disappointed and even hopeless.

When the time comes, because of disappointment and despair, no one can guarantee whether these people will do something bad.

In that case, it would be better to give them a little hope.

And because of hope, these people's enthusiasm for work will also be greatly increased, and in order to become citizens, they will also pay attention to their words and deeds from time to time.

When you apply to become a citizen in the future, you can get some extra points.

The benefits of this are better than not having any of them.

And lately, there has been a surge in Manhattan and the power of the church has begun to resurge.

The pastors of the church are hidden among the people. Constantly spreading the faith of the European Church, and denigrating that the empire was controlled by blasphemers from top to bottom.

If you don't believe in God, then God will rain down the wrath of punishment and turn the empire into ruins. Those of them who stayed in the Empire were not spared.

If you want to be free from punishment, then believe in God and throw yourself into the arms of the Lord.

Think of Egypt in the past, because it didn't believe in the Lord, and then suffered from the plague and heavenly punishment. The Song Empire will also suffer such punishment in the future.

At first, the targets of these hidden pastors were mainly genetically Chinese people.

But what made them very disappointed was that these genetic people of Chinese descent would betray them when they turned around. Then the pastors will be arrested.

This has cost the pastors a lot.

Therefore, these wise pastors are no longer targeting Chinese citizens.

Instead, they set their sights on European laborers.

You must know that the number of European laborers now occupies more than 100,000 in the empire, which can be described as a large number of people.

The pastors knew very well that if they could keep the European laborers who had lost their faith to continue to hold on to their beliefs, they could threaten the rulers of Manhattan with a large number of believers.

It is important to know that business is very prosperous here in Manhattan, and if there is a riot or turmoil, it will be very huge for the economy of Manhattan.

So what Manhattan needs here is stability, not turmoil.

It was precisely because of this that these priests immediately shifted their attention and strategy, and began to spare no effort to lobby the European workers.

After all, these European laborers were originally accustomed to the existence of the church.

Since childhood, he has grown up under the oppression of the church.

So, for the church as an organization, they are used to it from the bones.

Compared to the people of the Song Empire, who did not believe in God at all, these laborers were easier to deal with.

These pastors are not wrong at all, and under their intimidation and deception, they have really made great achievements.

The European laborers really believed that God would punish him, and that Manhattan would suffer the same disaster as ancient Egypt did, as the Bible says.

If that's the case, then what are you waiting for?

Hurry back into God's arms and let God forgive you.

In fact, it is very simple to ask God to forgive yourself, as long as you confess to the pastor and give all your wealth to the church (in fact, the pastor), then you will be forgiven by God.

Amen!

"These guys are really good at cheating, but these European stupid hats are really fooled. At that time, there may have been an epidemic of plague in Egypt because of sanitary problems, but what does this have to do with God? Besides, the epidemic of various diseases in the world has never stopped at all, could it be that it is all caused by God? After reading the report sent by Wang Shan, Zhao Hongyu put it aside with infinite contempt, and said to Wang Shan with a strange expression on his face.

After the Chinese New Year, Song Hu, Professor Liu and others left Manhattan one after another and returned to their cities.

Zhao Hongyu was idle again all of a sudden.

Sara runs to the manor of the widows of the Samue family every day, and Emma has called for a new female guard captain, so the two women, one big and one young, have their own things to do, but they are not as boring as Zhao Hongyu.

Although Zhao Hongyu has decided to go to the East, because all the warships selected have been transferred to the Caribbean, Zhao Hongyu now has no warships on hand.

And without a warship, Zhao Hongyu would have no way to go to the east at all.

So, now he can only wait patiently, waiting for the launch of new warships at the shipyard before he can start his journey to the East.

Although his own heavy battleship was still there, it had been parked on the docks in Manhattan.

But if you go to the East, a battleship will not do.

Zhao Hongyuhe knows very well that in the waters of the East, it is now the era of fighting pirates Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong.

Which of these two pirate leaders of the East is not a warship with thousands of ships?

Although the warships of the East cannot be compared with their own warships, their number is also terrifying.

Of course, these warships are very scattered and cannot be taken out in a short time.

But this also made Zhao Hongyu very careful about it.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu decided that on this voyage to the East, he had to at least follow a fleet of thirty-six improved Dutch frigates, otherwise it would be troublesome to meet pirates in the East.

Therefore, he is also waiting.

Waiting for the shipyard's heart battleship to be launched, but it will take at least a month for the new battleship to be launched.

During this time, Zhao Hongyu was also bored.

Luckily, though, he remembered that there was a big problem to be solved on the Manhattan side.

That is the resurgence of the church.

All of a sudden, I finally found something to do.

Originally, this thing was done by Wang Shan.

Now Zhao Hongyu has also joined in to make it less boring.

Anyway, being idle is not idle, and finding something to do for yourself is also good to pass the time of boredom.

Therefore, now Wang Shan basically runs to Zhao Hongyu every day and reports the latest situation to him.

Wang Shan is in charge of the Empire's intelligence department, so he closely monitors the every move of the hidden priests, who still don't know that what they do is actually being closely watched by the Empire, and they still think that the Empire does not know about their actions.

As soon as Zhao Hongyu's voice fell, Wang Shan smiled and continued: "Your Highness is right, and his church knows how to say big things." If their so-called God is really that powerful, has there been no miracle for so many years? However, as far as I know, the so-called miracles are actually all said by the church itself, and whether there is any falsification in this is that anyone who has a brain will know the truth. As for the plague and plague in ancient Egypt, it was normal. In the Middle Ages, there was no plague in Europe, and half of the population of the continent was killed, could it be that God was punishing himself at that time, and I heard that many pastors died in the church. ”

Wang Shan, like Zhao Hongyu, is not very interested in the rhetoric of the church, and even has extreme contempt.

Because they all know that these pastors in the church are talking about nothing more than exaggerated intimidation.

If it's really so powerful, do you still use their mouths to say it?

God directly struck down with a thunderbolt. (To be continued.) )
