Seventeenth-century Europe was far from the same time and space. And the people living on the European continent in this era, whether men or women, are not the kind of people who have a humanistic concept.

Disease, war, hunger, greed for gold, selfishness, and other negative ideas pervade the European minds of this era.

If you want them to become 'rich and handsome' or 'white rich and beautiful' or something, you have to wait at least more than 280 years later.

At this moment, the people living on the European continent can basically be described by the popular words of China in another time and space.

Dick silk!

Yes, the Europeans of this period have revealed a strong dick silk atmosphere from the inside and out.

Compared with them, the people of the Ming Dynasty in this period are indeed 'rich and handsome'.

This is also for what when the Europeans set foot on the land of the East, they were immediately fascinated.

Because the East is really very advanced compared to the West at this time.

Don't you see that the cities on the European continent during this period were still full of dung and water?

And the cities of the Ming Dynasty, even the countryside, will not look like this.

Clean, tidy, this is the first impression of those Europeans who travel to the East to see the Ming Dynasty.

Based on the news spread by the Europeans who arrived in the East, the Europeans could almost conclude that the East was now very advanced and highly civilized compared to Europe.

The same is true of the church.

However, it is precisely for this reason that the church is also very troubled by Daming.

Quite simply, there was a big obstacle to the spread of faith in the Ming Dynasty that could not be carried out at all.

It is important to know that the Church has not encountered any obstacles in spreading the glorious gospel on behalf of the so-called 'Lord' in which they believe in it, except in the Arab world.

Both in Africa and in the early Americas developed very smoothly.

But the church was on the side of the Ming Dynasty. But it encountered a lot of setbacks.

As a result, the church was unable to spread their faith at all, and even some missionaries lived a very hard life, almost to the point of not having enough to eat.

In fact, it is not surprising at all, because the East and the West are different here, not to mention the belief in various gods, but also have their own needs.

And the so-called 'Lord' in the West is far too far behind the gods that the Easterners believe in.

When someone hits you on the left cheek, you have to give the right cheek to the other person as well.

Look, what kind of bullshit god this is. It's not great at all.

If this was the god of the East, it would have been withdrawn a long time ago.

Because of the difference in concepts, the church in the East is simply unable to develop the glory of their so-called 'Lord'.

In other words, the one that brainwashed Europeans into brain-dead people has no market in the East at all.

In this respect, Easterners are much smarter than Westerners.

Especially after the early missionaries came to the East, they also showed the same style as in Europe, saying that they could only believe in their gods, and extremely rejected the native gods of the East.

It's just that they forgot. Easterners and Westerners are not the same.

There are even missionaries who are so brain-dead that they say 'divine authority of the king', demanding that if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to ascend the throne, he must obtain the approval of the church.

I'll it, isn't this brain-dead?

In the East. Does the Emperor need the approval of your church to ascend the throne?

It's just unreasonable.

With such brain-dead rhetoric, how could the Church develop smoothly in the East?

As long as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not a fool, he will definitely not allow the people of the church to develop.

Quite simply, who wants to have the top of their heads. There's one more old man.

What's more, why should your Western church meddle in the affairs of the East?

And there is no strength at all. Just by opening and closing your mouth, you want the emperor to listen to you?

It's impossible.

Therefore, the early Western missionaries who were active in the East, they had no way to get the church to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty.

Even in the Wa Kingdom, the activities of the missionaries were very restricted.

Of course, compared to the Ming Dynasty, the life of the missionaries in the Wa Kingdom was much better.

Because during the Warring States Period, those daimyo supported the power of the church in order to fight against the power of Buddhism in the native country of Wakoku.

Therefore, the church is still relatively marketable here in the Wa Kingdom.

The daimyo were not fools either, and they certainly found that the church's desire for secular power, and its private ambitions, did not have to be less than that of the native Buddhism.

However, Buddhism was very powerful at that time, and in order to resist it, it was necessary to support the church.

When the Warring States period ended and the Ishida shogunate came to power, it immediately began to restrict the development and spread of the church.

In addition, the missionaries called the believers to riot.

Fortunately, the ambitions of the church were completely exposed.

Such a thing, the Ming Dynasty, which is separated by a strait, of course, also got the news.

In view of the style of the church, of course Daming will be vigilant here, and then prohibit it.

Besides, during this period of the Ming Dynasty, there was also the so-called White Lotus Sect rebellion. Wouldn't that be even worse if it were to create a church from the West?

The bitter and sad news was fed back to the Vatican by the missionaries through various means.

And the bishops of the Vatican were also very helpless when they learned the news from the east.

To be honest, it is very coveted for the power of the church in the East during this period.

Without it, the economy of the East at this time was high and the population was large. Compared to Europe, where supplies are scarce, and the economy is getting worse every year, and the people have been looted, it is simply a country with water of gold.

Originally, the Church did not attach much importance to the East, after all, the Americas were discovered in the early days. And a large amount of silver and gold in the Americas was mined and shipped back to Europe.

Let the Europeans see the land of wealth beyond the East.

However, with the emergence of Zhao Hongyu in Europe and the defeat of the British and French, the Song Empire was founded. He also took advantage of the situation to move southward, defeating the Dutch and Spaniards entrenched in Central and South America, and after completely controlling the Americas, the Church could no longer continue to absorb wealth from the Americas.

And for the strong Song Empire. After several temptations and heavy losses, the church also understood that the Song Empire was really not easy to mess with.

In addition, the Song Empire was too far away, and even the so-called 'crusader' invasion of the Church would be of no avail, so the Church temporarily gave up on the Americas.

The reason why I say 'temporary' is because the church is still a piece of shit that hasn't been cleaned up.

Therefore, they simply have no time to be distracted and devote their energy to dealing with the Americas.

After all, the churches are now united with the splinter Protestantism in order to fight against Portugal and France, right?

Thus, before Portugal and France were not defeated. The church is no longer able to devote its energies to the Americas.

Even the churches in the East today can't take care of it.

Hegemony in the Mediterranean is still being contested.

Without mastering maritime supremacy in the Mediterranean, the ships of the Church simply could not cross the Strait of Gibraltar, let alone go to the East.

And if you go overland, you have to go through the territory of the Arabs.

Because of the historical entanglement between Europeans and Arabs, it is clear that this is also impossible.

The Arabs simply could not have made a way for them.

Fortunately, some time ago, the British seized control of several strongholds in Gibraltar while the combined naval forces of the Portuguese and the Church occupied the Strait of Gibraltar were fighting. It can be regarded as mastering the entrance and exit of the Mediterranean.

Otherwise, the church side will be even more angry.

However, the British are already excluded.

Well, control of the Strait of Gibraltar was in the hands of the British. The church doesn't get much to gain from it, does it.

Moreover, Britain supported the Protestant sect and was the enemy of the old school of the church.

Ideologically, the British are not against them.

But. Now Protestantism and the Church have united, and have temporarily abandoned their grievances.

With this in mind, the church felt that it was time to talk to the British.

But. The people on the side of the church, after seeing the British after a difficult and difficult detour, found that the British did not make sense here.

The British, who occupied the Strait of Gibraltar, did not bird them at all.

This made the church very angry.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and the church is really short of money now.

All, even in the face of the difficulties of the British, they endured it, didn't they?

Therefore, the people of the church are still constantly looking for opportunities to contact the British, hoping that the other party can open the Strait of Gibraltar to them, so that the merchant ships under the union of the church can go to sea for trade.

Although you can't go to the Americas and the East, the products of West and South Africa are also very profitable.

Now that the situation is in place, the church side is not very picky.

"Boss, that's the case now. According to the informant's information, the church is very financially strapped right now, so they are constantly looking for opportunities to contact the British. ”

The headquarters of the Church, the Vatican.

Inside a nondescript building, Jenny and her men live here.

Since leaving Marseille, she and her men have been living in the Vatican for five or six days.

Although Jenny wanted to make a big deal here, she calmed down and prepared to get some intelligence information before starting her revenge.

This is not only for the sake of herself, but also for the sake of her subordinates.

"The church has no money?" Jenny sneered when she heard this, pursed her lips and looked very disdainful, but at the same time expressed no belief at all.

Others don't know what to say, but Jenny knows what the bishops of the church are.

What's more, the Church has plundered the wealth of the European continent for more than ten centuries, how can there be no money in a war.

That's a joke! (To be continued......)
