Chapter 753: The Heretics Land
A few miles away on the outskirts of Marseille, Zhao Hongyu signed an agreement with France last year to draw a vacant land for the construction of a concession in the Americas.
Within this concession there were the laws and regulations of the Song Empire, and the laws of the French government were completely inapplicable here. It can be said that the concession was a springboard for the Song Empire's overseas colonies.
The inspiration for the concession came from another time and space that Zhao Hongyu thought of, which era of warlord melee.
Yes, in those days, the great powers controlled the economy and politics of the Chinese Empire through the concessions. And they also used the influence of the concession to influence the situation in Asia.
Of course, the concession of another time and space was opened by the great powers through artillery.
This is completely different from Zhao Hongyu.
When Zhao Hongyu visited Europe last year, the concession he established between Portugal and France was in a very moderate way, that is, he used interests to lure Portugal and France, and then the concession was established.
This way is very mild compared to the European and American powers in another time and space.
However, this is also because of their seduced relationship.
If you can't impress them with benefits, in fact, Zhao Hongyu won't mind using cannons to speak.
In this way, Zhao Hongyu established three concessions in Portugal, France, and Egypt, which were used as a springboard for future troubles in Europe, and also as a vanguard for collecting intelligence and the situation on the European continent.
At the same time, the concession also secretly contacted some anti-government fighters and secretly provided them with financial support.
The plan of the Song Empire in the Americas was not to stabilize Europe.
Because a chaotic Europe was the most important thing for the Song Empire in the Americas.
As long as the European continent is in chaos and wars are frequent, then there is no way for them to set their sights on the ocean.
Then when the navy of the Song Empire in the Americas is completely established, the imperial fleet can begin to conquer the seas.
It was a magnificent time. It is also an era full of opportunities.
At this time, it is the era of the opening of the ocean adventure, if Zhao Hongyu and they don't seize this opportunity, then he will simply come for nothing.
Since God has brought him to this era, Zhao Hongyu will definitely not give up such a good opportunity.
It turned out that the time and space he was in, because he did not seize this opportunity in this era, allowed the Europeans to rise, and finally used strong ships and cannons to pry open the door of the ancient empire, so that the Chinese people fell into a very difficult misery in a long period of events.
Zhao Hongyu didn't want this to happen again.
If you can. He wanted to turn the matter upside down, from a suffering people to an oppressor.
This kind of taste should be tasted by Europeans in this time and space.
In other words, the sins committed by those European and American powers in another time and space, then let the Europeans in this time and space make up for it.
It doesn't matter if it's just or unjust, because Zhao Hongyu is for the survival of an ethnic group.
He didn't just do it for his own private gain.
Since Zhao Hongyu established the concession last year, construction on the northwest suburbs of the French port of Marseille has begun.
Because of the construction of the project in this era, there are not so many auxiliary machinery and equipment, so the progress of the construction is not as fast as in another time and space.
It's been a year. In the concession, it is just a matter of building some foundations.
Some houses are just built with some frameworks, and they are still uninhabitable for the time being.
Now the clerks of the Song Empire in the concession, they still live in tents.
Lisbon Concession on the Portuguese side. It's pretty much the same thing, except that the concession is the first to appear, so it's slightly stronger than the concession in the port of Marseille.
In Lisbon's concession, several houses are already in use.
A line of black-robed eccentrics disembarking from the port of Marseille. They came to the concession on the northwestern outskirts of the port of Marseille.
There were men and women in this group, and no one knew where they came from.
But. Judging from their attire, it is clear that they are definitely not from the European side.
However, looking at their appearance, many of them are blonde and blue-eyed, as if they were Europeans again.
Among them, there are also a lot of black hair and black eyes.
This group is none other than Jenny and her party, who bid farewell to the American continent and returned to Europe with a secret mission.
Originally part of the Church Inquisition, the Assassin Jenny was betrayed as a slave by her superiors for some reason.
It can be said that now she only hates and dislikes the church in her heart. There is no longer the respect and reverence that it used to be.
More importantly, when she was in the Song Empire in the Americas, she discovered that there were 'true gods' in the Song Empire in the Americas. And what the church on the European continent professes seems to be false idols.
Such an impact is not small for Jenny.
Especially when his parents have been resurrected in the flesh, the shock to her is even greater.
You must know that such miracles cannot be manifested even by the church.
It can be seen that the gods believed in by the Song Empire on the American continent must be true.
It's just that her parents only have physical bodies now, and their souls haven't returned to their original bodies yet.
It's not without reason.
The mysterious young man in Manhattan had said that the gods had fought great battles in time immemorial.
That war affected many worlds, involving all the gods.
Moreover, the gods have been hit hard by the war and have fallen into a deep sleep.
The goddess of hell was the wife of the main god of the Song Empire, who had fallen asleep because of the war.
If she hadn't woken up, there would have been no way for Jenny's parents' souls to return to their original form.
However, as long as she can make a meritorious deed, then she will be recorded in the merit book of 'Interception', and as long as the goddess of hell awakens, then she can return the souls of her parents.
At the same time, the mysterious teenager said that the soul fluctuations of the gods have begun to fluctuate in recent times, which is a precursor to awakening.
So. The servants of the gods, the gods, had awakened from their long slumber and began to solve some minor problems before the gods woke up.
After Jenny's faith collapsed, it was the interception of religion that allowed her to regain her spiritual sustenance.
Moreover, it also involved the souls of her parents.
Therefore, it is impossible for her not to work hard and dedicate her loyalty.
The members of the sect basically have similar experiences to Jenny.
There are even quite a few people, like Jenny, who have family members who have been resurrected.
People like them. He is very fanatical about interception.
Its fanatical devotion is much more powerful than that of the fanatical believers of the European Church.
From this, it can be seen that they can be called fanatics.
Especially when the mysterious boy told them not to be afraid of death, because death is a devotion to the gods, and because of the care of the gods, they can be resurrected from hell after they die.
It's just that the gods don't resurrect mortals for no reason, except for devout believers.
That's the case. Anyone who is a fool will not understand.
Pious, easy to understand.
That is to dedicate to the gods.
Or, to kill hostile believers in the gods.
Only in this way can piety be revealed.
Jenny used to be the church specializing in the execution of heretics. and some assassins who did something shady, so she couldn't understand this all the better.
"Head, when are we going to get moving?"
This time, there were eighteen believers who followed Jenny to Europe.
These eighteen people are all carefully selected elite fanatical followers of the sect. Each of them has a very high degree of murder skills.
Among them, there were Indians from the city of Manhattan and people from the European continent. There were also black slaves who were trafficked to the Song Empire, and there were even dancing girls from Arabia.
These people have complex identities and have very special pasts.
Like Jenny, her parents were killed by someone in the church using very despicable means.
She herself, on the other hand, was brought into the Church by the wicked men who killed her parents, and trained her to become a cold-blooded assassin. In her ignorance, she was deceived by the wicked man into believing in a certain god and that her parents would go to heaven.
Most importantly, she was brainwashed from a young age that her parents were sinful people.
Therefore, she had to atone for the sins of her parents.
Otherwise, her parents would go to hell and be punished with severe and painful punishments.
Jenny would have understood so much at that time.
She believed the wicked man's words and did many shady things for him.
Looking back now, Jenny thinks she was so ignorant.
But it was because of this experience that she learned many secrets of the church.
For example, the so-called "miracles" preached by some churches are actually fake.
For example, some of the deeds of 'God' in the records were added by the people of the church.
They deceived the believers by such despicable means.
Moreover, it has been squeezing the believers on the road of Europe.
The 'gods' of the European church are incomparable to those of the Song Empire in the Americas.
Everyone has eyes and can see.
The 'gods' behind the Song Empire in the Americas have given a lot of artifacts, and the magic of these artifacts Jennifer has personally experienced.
She knew that these artifacts could only be possessed and manufactured by true 'gods', and that mortals could not make them.
Especially the resurrection of her parents, which made her extremely convinced of the gods of the Song Empire.
"Report to the administrator in the concession first, and by the way, we need to get some useful information from him, and when we have the information, we can act."
Jenny replied. (To be continued......)
