Chapter 461: The Heart Is Down (Three Watches!) )
As the crackdown comes to an end, there is nothing these pastors and priests can do about it.
Now there are only two choices in front of them, one is to quickly find a chance to see if they can escape, and the other is to surrender and see if there is a way out.
They have no other choice but to do so.
Obviously, there is only a dead end waiting for them in the corner of stubborn resistance.
In such a situation, the choice they can make is obvious.
Die!
They definitely don't want to.
How could he die like this with his own good life.
They haven't enjoyed life yet, and they will never be willing to die like this.
They have to live well, and only by living can they enjoy a beautiful life.
As for the believers who died in the turmoil, it has nothing to do with them.
These fools were willing to do what they were told, and it was their choice to do something like that.
So, they should accept such an outcome.
That's God's arrangement, isn't it?
The screening and massacre of believers from outside continued, and the occasional pleas for mercy and wails made pastors and priests shudder.
The sound came from far to near, and slowly it was getting closer.
This means that the Imperial Legions are beginning to shrink their encirclement, and the scope of screening has begun to shrink.
It won't be long before it's their turn.
But in such a situation, it is obvious that it is very difficult to escape from here.
They have sent a dozen fanatical believers to find a way to escape.
But to their disappointment, there was no way out.
At the same time, they also lost a lot of manpower for this matter.
Oh my God, are you really going to die here today?
Don't look at the clamoring of some pastors or priests just now, in fact, their hearts are extremely frightened now.
Because they don't know the way. Will the butcher's knives of the Imperial army also fall on their heads?
After all, this is not Europe.
It was only at this moment that these people thought of it.
I have to say it's a hilarious thing.
Don't brain-dead people like them think that as long as there is the glory of the 'Lord', they will be invincible in anything?
Why are they so scared now?
It's a laughable thing.
It stands to reason that now is the time for them to pray and call on their God to save them.
After all, they are God's servants and are doing things for God, aren't they?
God has such great supernatural powers. Now is the time to perform his miracles and rescue these people.
It is only at such a critical juncture that saving these people can show his greatness.
Unfortunately, such a thing could never have happened.
First of all, whether God exists or not is another question.
Even whether the so-called miracles preached by the church are true or not is not evaluated.
Therefore, judging from the current situation, the decision of life and death is not with God, but with the imperial soldiers who are even more terrible than God.
It's funny!
When did the soldiers of the empire become more powerful than God?
It's a very funny thing.
But in the hearts of these pastors and priests. But they all think so.
"Let's go out and tell them who we are, I guess these Imperial soldiers won't kill us."
At this time, a suggestion was made.
"No, I can't. The priests were killed in the summer, which shows that the Empire will not show mercy to us because we are members of the church. ”
Objections were immediately raised.
"But if we don't surrender, then what options do we have now?"
That's a question that really caught everyone's attention.
Oh, yes. If they are still dead now, what should the Empire say about them for a while?
No matter how much they make it up, they can't deny it.
Besides. It is estimated that the cause of this riot is already known to the imperial side.
These behind-the-scenes masterminds have long been known by the other party.
Now that they have done such a thing, there is no guarantee that the Empire will not kill them.
After all, what they got out of was too big.
Originally, they thought that if they made a fuss, the empire would suppress it at most, and they would not do anything to these laborers.
But to their surprise, the empire actually surprised them, and there was no ambiguity in killing these people.
It's just not taking human life seriously.
When they met the top of such a country, these pastors and priests were immediately on wax.
In fact, they didn't want to think about the fact that these European laborers were not citizens of the empire in the first place, and why did the empire care about their lives.
These people just came to the empire to work and make money.
You said that since you are a part-time worker and make money, then be honest.
But these people are idle and not honest.
I have to make such a thing.
The empire is still used to you.
Anyway, he is not a citizen of the empire, and he has no good feelings for the people of the European empire.
In order to suppress the riot as soon as possible, it has become inevitable to kill the killer.
As for the fact that the death of European workers will lead to a large gap in employment, the empire does not care.
The empire is not begging you to come, anyway, there are many salaries and benefits here, and if the Europeans don't come, someone else will come.
Besides, isn't it possible to buy black slaves?
And now Zhao Hongyu and the others have decided to leave for the East at the beginning of spring and get some people back from them.
When the time comes, the Europeans will not be so important.
Compared to these Europeans, the Oriental people are more hard-working, and if you give them a little benefit, they will create a lot of value for you.
And if the Orientals feed him, they won't make trouble.
At the same time, the Orientals have no interest in the Church, and there is no such trouble and ambition as the Church.
The most important thing is that the Oriental people are very responsible.
Divide him a piece of land. Give him a little sweetness and you can manage it.
It's much easier than managing Europeans.
Therefore, now that these European laborers dare to make trouble, the Song Empire will definitely not be soft.
At the same time, it is also an opportunity to show all the Europeans who are doing things in the empire, and let them know the methods of the empire.
This can be considered a warning.
Warning the workers from Europe about what they can and can't do.
This is America, not Europe.
It's not a place where everybody can do whatever they want, that's obvious.
Tuk tuk!
While everyone was arguing, there was a knock on the door. Let them who were arguing suddenly quiet down -
Dividing Line –
"How's the riot going?"
At this time, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie both came to Zhao Hongyu's castle to meet him, and as soon as they met, Zhao Hongyu opened their mouths to ask about it.
Although Zhao Hongyu knows that this turmoil will eventually be resolved.
But he was still a little worried.
"It has been resolved, and all the people in the North District have been suppressed and executed, although there are wrongdoers, most of them deserve it." Wang Shan's answer was simple and murderous.
Zhang Tie, who was beside him, nodded slightly, as if he was very in favor of Wang Shan's handling of it.
"The leaders behind the scenes have been caught, and after interrogation, they actually did not premeditate this riot. It happened very suddenly. The reason is that when the law enforcement team found out that they were illegally assembling, they wanted to arrest them, and these people made such a big decision on the fly. ”
Eventually, those pastors and priests will catch it. They couldn't escape the North Side at all.
After capturing these people, the genetic warriors did not execute them immediately, but sent them to Wang Shan for surprise interrogation.
Under the torture of going to the mountain, these priests and priests were all recruited.
So far. Wang Shan also understood the origin of this turmoil.
"Even if it was an impromptu idea, it was very alarming to us, and they were able to make such a big battle in a hurry, which shows that the church is really not a good thing. If we don't settle the church matter as soon as possible. We're the real trouble for them to sit up. ”
Zhao Hongyu's tone was calm.
Wang Shan and Zhang Tie nodded in agreement.
"I have already informed the Ministry of Intelligence, and asked them to immediately push out the sect, and take advantage of this time when the church is suppressed by us, and immediately come to the table to start the missionary matter."
Zhang Tie also said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, now that the church has gone through such a fuss and has been suppressed by us, it is definitely not possible for them to preach again and gain the support of Europeans in a short period of time. Therefore, this blank period can still be used for us. When the people of the church resurface, they will find that there is no place for them on the Empire. ”
Zhao Hongyu heard this: "Indeed, this matter is so decided. This incident also made me see clearly, the church must not be connived at, otherwise it will cause a big mess. These people are still in the shadows, they just killed some people in the summer, and now some people have jumped out, and they can't stop fighting. Instead of guarding against them all the time, then we should use another means to deal with them. ”
It is not unreasonable for Zhao Hongyu to say this.
Think about it, a group of priests and priests were already dealt with in the summer.
But in just half a year, the members of the church appeared in the imperial city again and secretly preached.
By the time the empire was discovered, its number of followers had already exceeded the 100,000 mark.
It's a very scary thing.
If the other party came openly, Zhao Hongyu and they were really not afraid.
But I'm worried that the other party will be so sneaky and make them defenseless.
This time, if it weren't for the accident, there were the priests and priests who were in a hurry to make a riot and show the Empire what they were capable of.
Perhaps, the empire really has nothing they can do.
When they regained control of the believers, Zhao Hongyu and them had a headache at that time.
At the same time, it can also be seen from this incident that the other party is learning smartly this time.
Through continuous lessons, the other party is also constantly growing.
After thinking about it this time, the other party will definitely act more secretively, and will become smarter and more difficult to deal with.
And for the personnel of the church, Zhao Hongyu has no way to guard against it.
Ships come to Manhattan's harbor every day. A lot of European laborers got off the ship.
If those pastors and priests put on a set of clothes, they are actually no different from ordinary people, and they cannot be screened at all.
As the saying goes, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves all day long.
This simply cannot be prevented.
Moreover, the European population is not very repulsive to the church, so the church can gain a lot in a short period of time.
This can be seen from this incident.
Although the Empire characterized the Church as a cult and lifted the ban on people in the Empire, the Europeans still couldn't control it.
If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and after Zhao Hongyu went through this incident, he had no good impression of Europeans.
"Your Highness. There's one more thing I need to report. ”
Wang Shan said when Zhao Hongyu was pondering.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
After being summoned back from his contemplation by Wang Shan's voice, Zhao Hongyu set his eyes on him.
"Your Highness, we can't just keep an eye on those Europeans now, we must also strictly control those of our Chinese descent. Otherwise, they are likely to be deceived by the people of the church, and they will be in great trouble if they become believers. ”
Hearing Wang Shan say this, Zhao Hongyu's pupils shrank suddenly.
"What! Are there any citizens of Chinese descent who are religious? ”
Originally, Zhao Hongyu didn't think that such a thing would happen. He still has a lot of confidence in Chinese citizens.
However, now that he heard Wang Shan say this, he was a little less confident.
Wang Shan is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, and the reason why he solemnly reminds him of this aspect of things. It must have been something he mastered.
"No, but there's a trend."
Wang Shan shook his head and replied with a serious expression.
"This is a long time, we didn't inform the Chinese citizens. Keep them away from church? ”
Zhao Hongyu's expression became a little ugly.
The most confident Chinese, now that there is a problem in this regard, Zhao Hongyu's heart must be uncomfortable.
"Your Highness. Because most of the Chinese women wanted to have a wedding in their wedding dress and have it in a church, many people approached the government every day to make suggestions for setting up a church in the empire. ”
"What do these people think, don't they understand that the establishment of a church is equivalent to giving the church a chance?"
Zhao Hongyu hated iron and said that it could not be made of steel.
Wang Shan said: "There are not many such people, just a few women who come and go." When they were raised, most of them had accepted more foreign ideas, so they were more Westernized. ”
"Do you have a husband?" , Zhao Hongyu suddenly asked.
Wang Shan nodded: "I have boyfriends, and they are all Europeans." ”
Zhao Hongyu was completely helpless.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do with these people?"
Wang Shan asked.
Zhao Hongyu thought for a while: "Get them and their boyfriends to Europe for me." Don't they like everything in the West, so let them see what Europe is like in this era. Remember that they should not be placed in the concession, but sent to the real European cities of this era. ”
Kill! They must not be killed, after all, they are also of Chinese descent.
But staying in the empire is certainly a scourge.
So, don't they like Europe, so let's go to Europe.
Zhao Hongyu can do this, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
"Your Highness, I need to remind you that you need to talk to Sara and the women of Samu's family about the church, they are also Europeans and must also be religious, if the church breaks through with them, it will make us very passive, which we have to guard against."
Wang Shan's reminder made Zhao Hongyu's heart sink! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
