Chapter 490: Western Europe is Crazy

"Wa Guo ......" Zhu Houwei's mask was frosty, and his eyes were extremely cold.

To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to this human trafficking case, and the fundamental reason why he went out of the palace to Fenglei Temple in person was to release a signal to the outer court that he attached great importance to, but what his sword wanted to cut was Buddhism!

Buddhism can exist, but it must not exist in its current state, why can Buddhism be exempt from taxes, why do those big temples and ancient temples have a lot of land, but they don't have to pay a penny of silver field tax!

So he wanted to make a move to Buddhism, but he didn't expect it to involve the Wa Kingdom.

"Back to Your Majesty, those thieves and monks have confessed, they are all Japanese people, they came to Daming with the mission at a very young age, and then stayed in Daming, the purpose is to steal Daming's skills.

The women and children who were kidnapped this time are the families of the people of Yenching University and Tongzhou, and they want to control these people to force new scholars to provide the core ...... of new learning for the country."

Zhu Houwei sneered: "It's really a despicable nation, an embassy on the surface, a spy behind the scenes, good, good, good, if the sky wants to make it die, it must be mad first, since the thief heart of the little Japanese country is not dead, why should I completely wipe out this despicable nation from this world!"

Ren Xingying said: "Your Majesty is planning to send a large army to set foot on Wa Island?"

"Emperor Taizu set the country of the Japanese as a country that is not conquered, but how could he have thought that the thieves of later generations would be so arrogant, China is strong, and the thieves are a dog that can only wag its tail and beg for mercy, but once China declines, this vicious dog will turn into a jackal, for the sake of future generations, how can it not be destroyed! But now is not the time to ......."

It is Zhu Houwei's lifelong ambition to destroy Little Japan, with the current strong national strength and invincible army of the Ming Dynasty, it is not too simple to destroy the thieves, but Zhu Houwei is not in a hurry.

For him, the three major matters of first far and then near, domestic construction, and land must be clarified first, as for the Japanese kingdom over there, can it still run away!

"Put those Japanese monks in prison, and when I raise the Japanese island, I will take these thieves and vulture flags!"

"Yes."

"Did the dead man confess?"

"Confessed...... However, before he could explain the mastermind behind the scenes, he confessed to his family, asked to bring his family to the capital for protection, and asked His Majesty to give his family a pardon document and announce it to the world. ”

"But, just do what he wants."

"Yes."

The human trafficking case of Fenglei Temple and the attack on the killing of the Son of Heaven on Yingtian Street, two major cases set off a monstrous wave in the originally calm capital of Daming!

Immediately afterwards, an edict of the Son of Heaven swept the world!

Buddhism Gate Earthquake!

Countless temples were demolished, and the monks in the temples either returned to the laity or went to other monasteries.

But in this storm, more than seventy percent of the temples in the world will become history, and if all the monks in these seventy percent of the temples pour into the temples that can be preserved, what kind of situation will the major temples face?

Overcrowded, embarrassed!

The income of the temple mainly comes from donations from pilgrims, which is called sesame oil money, and the output of the land.

Now that the temple land is no longer tax-free, the people who originally donated the land to the temple will naturally take back the land one after another, and the monks themselves are not productive, their land is hired to plough the people, and when the harvest comes, the people will give the vast majority of the harvest to the temple, and they can only get a subsistence ration at best.

Now, with taxes to pay and people to farm, the temple's income from the land has fallen to freezing point.

In the past, the temple would also send money to the people, that is, usury, but now banks are all over the world, and the living space of usury has almost been compressed to the extreme, and the income of this piece is almost gone.

Then you can only rely on pilgrims, what kind of pilgrims to rely on?

Naturally, pilgrims who are willing to spend silver are also willing to spend money, and how much money can ordinary people donate when they come to worship the Buddha?

But Emperor Jiajing rectified the world's magnates, and the life of the magnates themselves was not very easy, and even many of them were ready to emigrate overseas.

And the emperor did something to Buddhism, obviously he didn't want to see Buddhism, so why did he risk being monitored by the eye of heaven to involve Buddhism too much.

In a word, the life of Buddhism began to be difficult, too many monks did not have a temple to accept, and in the end they could only return to the layman, but there are still many Buddhists who plan to immigrate to the sea and go to the Dawu Dynasty to spread the glory of Buddha.

In this context, the third migration began, 500 huge ships, carrying millions of immigrants left China for Western Europe, with a sense of confusion and a little hope for the unknown land......

Shen Gengzhong stood on the bow of the Xuanwu, this is the third time he went to sea after becoming the admiral of the navy, and it is also the one that transports the most immigrants, and now the Zhengde Emperor is the most short of people overseas, this batch of millions of immigrants in the past, the dilemma of lack of people will inevitably be greatly alleviated.

And when he returns again, he will carry a million laborers back to Mingming, and perhaps for the last time in recent years, he will bring back captive laborers from Western Europe at most twice.

Just when the Daming Navy Division entered the sea and walked for a month, in the distant land of Western Europe, Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed in military uniform, stood on top of the chariot at this moment, looking out a few miles away.

Western Europe is crazy!

The Holy See is also crazy!

A colorful tiger suddenly broke into the land of their own house, and before they could react, they bit two strong men of their own house, making the whole of Western Europe tremble!

The Holy See issued an edict to summon all the kingdoms and principalities of Europe to send troops to unite against foreign enemies, which was somewhat reluctant for some countries that were not strong and too far away, but the collapse of the combined fleet sounded a wake-up call over the heads of these countries.

Let all the European countries understand one thing, if they do not unite under the organization of the Holy See to drive this evil tiger from the east out of Europe, then this evil tiger will roar and wreak havoc on the land of Europe, and eventually bite all the countries to death!

The main reason for this strong crisis in Europe and for the Holy See is immigration!

Colonial wars have always been the most slippery game for Western Europe, but now the yellow people in the East are actually playing colonization in the West!

You must know that there are no large number of immigrants, so even if the 100,000 troops under Zhu Houzhao are strong, the whole of Europe will be slowly consumed, but it is different to have immigrants, and having a large number of civilians means a steady stream of soldiers!

Moreover, the Holy See saw very clearly that even if the pagans from the East had an incomparably strong army, they did not start a war of plunder, but fought steadily, and as many immigrants occupied as much territory as they wanted, and there were not enough people, even if they destroyed Spain, they did not impose colonial rule on Spain, but adopted the local anarchic model regardless of it!

What is the purpose of the pagans of the East!
