In October of the 16th year of Dewu, three days after Victoria was captured, a major event comparable to the fall of Castle in Christendom finally took place under the watchful eyes of all people.

The Vatican fell.

This time, it was not the heretics who attacked the Vatican Basilica, but an even more terrible group of heretics.

Wearing red scarves on their heads and holding sharp weapons in their hands, they disdained the scriptures handed down in the church, and treated the precious ritual vessels left by the archbishops and popes as dung, mercilessly throwing them on the ground for others to trample on.

They falsify the teachings of Christianity, and they talk about the Father and the Brother, and the King of Heaven does not understand what the Trinity is.

They're a bunch of outright hypocrites!

Of course, not everyone thinks so.

Shortly after the fall of the Vatican, Hong Xiuquan, who had not appeared for a long time, and was even rumored to have been dead for many years, suddenly appeared in this majestic cathedral to preside over the surrender ceremony.

The life of Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Worship of God Sect, is undoubtedly wonderful.

In the seventh year of the pseudo-Qing Daoguang, Hong Xiuquan was high-spirited and came to Guangzhou as a talented man in Huadu, but finally fell to Sun Shan in the government examination.

He angrily threw Confucian classics on the long street and picked up the long-lost Christian translation, "Advice to the World".

At that moment, Hong Xiuquan probably wouldn't have thought that he would be 64 years old and 300 days old, under the armed escort of a group of believers, supported by his son, to the throne of the Holy See.

Taiping soldiers wrapped in red turbans hold steel guns and stand proudly on both sides of the red carpet.

Kneeling at their feet were the usual invincible cardinals, their arms propped up on the ground trembling.

They did not dare to raise their heads, and tried to keep their heads lower, just like the Orthodox priest who knelt before Batu six hundred years ago.

John XXIV has been stripped of his white papal robe.

Barefoot, he knelt down in front of Hong Xiuquan, holding the Pope's crown in both hands and holding it above his head.

Hong Xiuquan did not accept this laurel coveted by countless Western clergy, but handed it to the officials of the Daming Rites Department on the side.

All religions are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, which is an unshakable red line in the "Da Ming Law".

What's more, in Hong Xiuquan's opinion, this is originally something that belongs to the Heavenly Father, and it is a superficial trick made up by the inferior disciples and grandchildren taught by his brother.

"John ......"

Hong Xiuquan looked at the old foreigner who was about the same age as himself in front of him, and said pitifully, "You say, only you can talk to the Heavenly Father, Protestants say that everyone can talk to the Heavenly Father as long as they pray sincerely, and for this, you have been fighting for hundreds of years......

In fact, Heavenly Father doesn't care about you people at all, and he doesn't have the time to listen to your babbling prayers for atonement.

Compared with the stake, the cannon is where you should atone for your sins.

I hope you didn't do anything against the will of the Father to those little boys, or ......"

Hong Xiuquan did not elaborate.

Compared with the Inquisition, the tricks of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are actually not so cruel, but it is not difficult to let those pampered priests who are keen to enter the body of the little boy not walk peacefully.

The Inquisition of the Worship of God will be held today to investigate and judge the clergy of the Vatican and the dioceses, and to clear the door for the Heavenly Brother.

Shaking his head, Hong Xiuquan continued:

As long as you have not done anything wrong, Heavenly Father and other old people will not blame you for not praying on time or for not buying enough indulgences, for for Heavenly Father and other old people, loyalty, infinite loyalty, is the most important thing.

And the voice of the Father, not only you can hear, but the people of the whole world can hear it just by turning on the radio, and his love is far from being as narrow as you say.

Today I have entered this Europa to the heavens, not to persecute you who are not pure in faith, but to teach you on behalf of my brother Jesus, so that you may understand what true learning is. ”

Hong Xiuquan stayed in the Vatican for half a month, personally executed several sinful clergy, and then left with the [Shroud of Heavenly Brother].

Before leaving, he burned all the apocrypha, leaving behind a true scripture, the Hadith of the Good Words of the Father.

In the debate alone, Hong Xiuquan's level is extremely high.

As early as the time of China, Hong Xiuquan was able to justify himself and refute the European missionaries speechless.

In his early years, he wrote "The Song of the Salvation of the Original Dao", "The Awakening of the Primordial Dao", and "The Awakening of the Primordial Dao", all of which are highly attained and easy to understand, but they also have a bit of demagogic ability.

Over the years, he was enlightened by his Heavenly Father, and he lived alone in the ancient city of Machu Picchu to retreat and meditate, and further polished his theories into logical and self-consistent, full of metaphysical speculation.

"God is a loving Father, and the water source is woody and desperate for the truth;

The amount of breadth is the same country in different countries, and the people of heaven and the world are also good-hearted.

Animals and animals kill each other unjustly, and neighbors kill each other;

Born with harmony and preciousness, each enjoys peace with each other. ”

This Hadith of the Good Words of the Father tells the story of a vision of universal harmony under the leadership of a loving Father, and exhorts people to be good and value peace.

From now on, it will be the New Testament of the Bible.

Hong Xiuquan left with a large army of the Taiping Army, which only retained a 1,300-strong Worship of God Apologists in the Vatican City.

In fact, according to the agreement reached between the Ming and the independent, the Taiping army could not stay in the Apennine Peninsula, let alone the Vatican.

Although Wilhelm II was not a Catholic, he did not want to spread any bullshit in the lands under his control.

However, this time, Daming showed a tough stance.

This was a punishment and admonition for Wilhelm II for trying to hide the British royal family without permission.

When the Korean superman Kim Si-nam captured a number of British nobles, including Victoria, the Ming side immediately attacked the fortifications in the northern suburbs of London at any cost, and finally attacked the city of London before the independent navy sailed into the Thames.

The London garrison did not have much will to resist, but the London Home Police, knowing that it was bound to be liquidated, put up a more stubborn resistance.

Their hands were stained with the blood of Jews and Celts, and they felt that the Ming would not let them go at all.

And it was none other than the one who encouraged them to resist to the death, or even hide in residential areas, and fight to the end against the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow, it was the only British minister at the top who did not choose to flee to Berlin - Ali Guo.

Under the leadership of Ali Guo, these executioners wandered through one residential area after another.

The soldiers showed great restraint and love for the civilian population.

It is the enemy who is stubborn and uses civilians as a shield.

Photographs and audiovisual footage faithfully document all of this.

Therefore, when one by one the mercy gas canisters were sent into the Ansar settlement by large-caliber mortar cannons, the Ming side was forced to be helpless.

This is necessary evil.

Finally, when half of the city of London was blown up and the City of London, which had once sucked the world's blood, was razed to the ground, Ali Hui and the remaining internal police were tied up by the frightened citizens of London and sent to the camp of the Great Tomorrow soldiers.

The captives will be brought to trial at the International Tribunal in The Hague.

According to the Treaty of Shattered Leaf City, the Ming, Independence, and Lu Kingdoms will be the leading countries, uniting all the countries of the world, and will form an international alliance after the war, referred to as the League of Nations.

The International Tribunal in The Hague is a subsidiary body of the League of Nations.

The reason for choosing the city of the Netherlands is that the Netherlands is the only neutral country in this war.

And because of Julie's relationship, Daming's informal diplomatic channels with the Netherlands have been open.

The fact that Ali Hui was sent to the Netherlands for trial was a necessary procedure.

This is the so-called procedural justice.

As for the final sentence, he was naturally acquitted.

After all, Ali never ordered the massacre of Jews or Celts, nor did he plan a military campaign against the Ming or the Commoners, and he even built a horseshoe brewery to save a large number of Celts.

As for what he did in the final stages of the war, it was only an obligation as a British citizen.

This is a normal battle, it is Jiang Wei's bravery, even if it is a common man of the Ming Dynasty, he is very respectful of such a person.

And the Ming court did not care about the past, entrusted Ah Lihui with a heavy responsibility, and entrusted him with the important task of rebuilding the Kingdom of England.

Ali Hui thus became the Prime Minister of the Provisional National Government of England, which was acceptable to all parties in England by the Ming Dynasty and England.

If the Ming Dynasty showed great restraint on London's non-governmental buildings and implemented a policy of non-shelling unless necessary, then it was not so polite to the buildings of the British government and the British royal family.

The burning of Buckingham Palace, the torture of the dukes and earls' palaces for three days, these are not talkative.

Even the animals in the London Zoo, Morishita did not leave a single and a half for the family.

The Independence Army entered London about three days later than the Ming Army.

This is mainly due to the fact that the Daming Naval Division once blocked the mouth of the Thames River and forbade the entry of independent troops.

When the Independents entered London, there was basically not a single hair left.

The huge British Museum, everything that can be taken away has been packed and taken away by the Ming soldiers, and what can't be taken away will be burned down.

Anyway, things that can really be called human treasures, such as cultural relics from ancient Egypt and ancient India, can basically be taken away.

If they could not be taken away, the British would not have been able to snatch them to London.

Not to mention what was looted from China, which had to be carefully packed and brought back.

Most of the ones that were burned were British art.

This kind of thing, burn it, it's not a pity at all.

The only trouble is the immersion of the Thames.

The density of gold is very high, and the salvage work cannot be completed in three days.

Fortunately, the Solitarians don't seem to be interested in gold.

In fact, they did not care much about jewelry and wealth, but quickly took control of the scientific research institutes in London, and transported the instruments and documents inside to Berlin in whole ships.

Wilhelm II also came to London.

He was a little discouraged when he couldn't save his grandmother, but when he saw the steamers filling the Thames, the German ships were carrying books, and the Ming ships were salvaging gold, he said proudly: "We Germans have won the future!" ”

Under the personal auspices of Wilhelm II, German soldiers also searched for senior engineers and scientists in London, hoping to take them to Berlin.

However, many of these engineers are more enthusiastic about going to Daming to wash dishes and have little interest in going to Berlin to be project leaders.

Zhu Fugui soon regretted that he had ordered the burning of Buckingham Palace.

Because after he gave instructions to the front, he remembered that he seemed to owe Julie a romantic wedding.

Since Julie remitted the first $50 to Mr. Huang He in the second year of Dewu, Zhu Fugui and Julie's love marathon has been full of happiness and sweat.

The only regret is that so far Zhu Fugui has not fulfilled Julie's wish and held a highest-level wedding for her in Europe.

Originally, Zhu Fugui planned to hold this wedding at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle, but both places have been burned to the ground.

Zhu Fugui has seen the photos sent back from the front, the former is no different from the ruins of the Old Summer Palace - Zhu Fugui asked the soldiers to burn it according to this standard; The latter, like the Ruins of St. Paul's in Macau, was burned to the point that only one face remained.

"Forget it, Ansa is also an upstart, and the nouveau riche's palace is not worthy of my wedding to the little elk!"

Zhu Fugui comforted Julie, but what he said was also the truth.

The Palace of Versailles in Paris, France, Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria, and the Royal Palace in Madrid, Spain, are the three major royal palaces in Europe.

But......

Zhu Fugui remembered that it seemed to be Li Hongzhang's Southern Tang Army that broke through Madrid.

The Southern Tang Dynasty is known as an army of 100,000, and it does have an army of 100,000.

In addition to the logistics troops, the number of soldiers has reached more than 50,000, after all, follow Daming's father to fight, the logistics support is still very good, and there is no need to bring seventy or even ninety percent of the logistics miscellaneous army like in the past.

In addition, the Southern Tang army also had quite brave Boer musketeers and Zulu spearmen in their hands, and it was natural to attack a single Madrid......

It's tough!

The current king of Spain is Alfonso XII, the son of the famous Queen Isabella II of Spain and a member of the famous Bourbon dynasty.

Isabella II was overthrown by the military and went into exile.

France supported Alfonso XII's return to the throne.

Because the Bourbons were also once the royal family of France, and even after Nasan was captured, the royal family of Orleans, a branch of the Bourbon royal family, tried to succeed to the throne of the French emperor.

Historically, France and Spain also came close to a coalition rule of the Bourbons.

In 1701, Charles II, the last king of Spain of the Habsburgs, died, and he made a will to pass the throne to his nephew, the Duke of Anjou, the grandson of Louis XIV, which eventually led to the War of the Spanish Succession that swept through most of Europe and even affected North America.

The later Franco-Prussian War was also triggered by the succession of the Spanish royal family.

In the end, Prussia won the war, but the Spanish throne was returned to the Bourbons with the support of Britain and France.

Therefore, Alfonso XII was a resolute opponent of the Ming independence alliance, and not only provided supplies and supplies to France during the war, but even sent troops to fight back and forth with Italy, which had not yet jumped ship at that time.

Now, in the face of the Southern Tang army, Alfonso XII seems to be possessed by the soul of Constantinople XI, and he swears to die in the Royal Palace of Madrid.

The Southern Tang army was unable to resist for a long time, and finally borrowed an artillery unit from the main force of the Great Tomorrow Army, which was mainly attacking France, and only then did it blow up the city wall, attack it, and arrest Alfonso XII.

"Be sure to protect the Palace of Versailles, there are not many top-notch palaces left for me."

Zhu Fugui gave a death order to Yang Liu, who commanded the Second Army of Sunset to advance into Paris.
