Chapter 195: July 7, Tver (Subscription Requested!! )
"Huh."
In a low laugh, Ma Wei finished reading the heresy trial issued by Archbishop Henry, threw it on the table, and said coldly: "He actually threw the black cauldron of the economic imbalance of the Romanov Kingdom on our heads, and scolded us for being heretics who tried to rebel, and even issued a reward order for the two of us..."
Katerina smiled: "Priest, your head is worth a million rubles, enough for an ordinary family to live this life carefree." ”
"Is my life worth only a million rubles?" Ma Wei couldn't cry or laugh: "It's not as high as the bounty given by the Bopang royal family back then." ”
One million rubles, converted into gold pounds from the Kingdom of Windsor, is only 100,000, and during his service on the privateer, the bounty on Ma Wei's head reached a terrifying 150,000 gold pounds....
This is the converted price, the Bopon royal family's bounty to Mavi is 300,000 florin gold coins, but the value of florin gold coins is too fast, and now 1 Windsor gold pound can be exchanged for 2 florin gold coins, which is basically double the price.
Compared with the generosity of the Popon royal family, the reward of one million rubles given by Archbishop Henry is a bit petty, and the total wealth of the Church of Truth alone is more than one million rubles.
How can it be measured in a million rubles?
What's even more exaggerated is that the price of the bounty given by Archbishop Henry to Katerina is only 500,000 rubles, which is equivalent to the entire net worth of an upper-class person, but Katerina is the Grand Duke of Mosk!
The value of one title alone is well over 500,000 rubles!
So Mavi came to a conclusion:
Archbishop Henry didn't expect anyone to assassinate Mavi and Katerina because of the bounty, and he offered a low bounty simply to disgust them.
Psychological warfare is also a tactic, and if Mavi and Katerina are angry that the bounty is too low, they will fall into the trap of Archbishop Henry.
"I think it's almost time for a public abdication." Katerina said: "Archbishop Henry wants to shake our military morale, and we also have a way to counter him. ”
"Well, let's publicly abdicate the edict, and let the world see who is the heresy of the country!"
Late that night, newspapers received letters from the Kremlin, in which a copy of the abdication edict was printed, and even the king's seal at the end of the edict was dried into a zinc plate and placed in the letter.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
When the editors-in-chief saw the abdication edict, they were like cats who saw mice, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they drew the plate overnight, and asked the typesetter to print the first draft, and after confirming that it was correct.... Mass printing began.
Early the next morning, newspapers with the edict of abdication were sent to the streets, Mosk, Tula, Tver.... The abdication edict written by Paul I himself denouncing the Cult of Wisdom was issued and sold as quickly as possible, causing an uproar.
At noon, the royal capital was Petersburg.
Winter!
Archbishop Henry slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table, his forehead was bruised, and he roared angrily: "Why did the abdication edict of Paul I fall into the hands of Katerina?!" Where's the man in charge of the king?! ”
The angry roar almost toppled the roof of the Winter Palace, and the blackfriars trembled too much to answer.
Before Paul I committed suicide, he had been locked up in his room, surrounded by strict guards, and everywhere was the eyeliner of the Cult of Wisdom, how could he quietly pass on the edict of abdication?
"Archbishop...."Basile asked tentatively, "Could this edict be forged by Katerina?" ”
"It is indeed the handwriting of Paul I on the edict, and I am familiar with it." Archbishop Henry stared at the photo in the newspaper for a long time, and gradually calmed down: "The king is still in our hands, as long as it comes forward, any rumors will be self-defeating, don't confiscate the newspaper in the hands of the people, this will only show that we are weak-minded." ”
"Yes!"
"Have all our monks returned to Petersburg?"
Basil hastened to reply, "All those who survived should have arrived." ”
"What about the casualties?"
"The monks who joined the secret police suffered heavy casualties, few of them came back alive, and the monks in charge of establishing the church in various places did not suffer much, there were about 3,000 or so."
"That's enough." Archbishop Henry's gloomy gaze swept over the people in the study: "Tell Duke Yovanovich that tomorrow morning, July 7, send troops to Mosk!" ”
"Yes!"
............................................
July 7, Mosk.
Amid a high-spirited whistle, the train stopped next to the Mosk platform, a train from Ulan-Ude that traveled west along the Trans-Siberian Railway, crossing Siberia and stopping in major towns and cities, laden with passengers.
The door opened, and a group of talking and laughing figures in priests' robes stepped off the train, each with the joy of victory on their faces, and the staff of the station, and the residents passing by, all cast awe-struck eyes.
"Grim! Grim! What time did you take Uginsk? We took down the town hall at 5am! ”
"Can a small place like Tulum compare to Uginske?"
"If you're slower than us, just say it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about! You're a chronic kid anyway! ”
When they saw the carriage parked outside the station gate with the banner of truth, it fell silent instantly, and Christopher, who was standing by the carriage waiting, pressed his palm on his chest, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time to celebrate the victory, please get on the carriage, Father Mavi has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
St. Basil's Cathedral.
When the priests and monks who had returned from various cities walked into the pulpit, they saw at a glance the smiling figure standing on the pulpit, although it had only been more than half a month, but they had the illusion of being suddenly separated from the world.
Too many things have happened in the past half a month, everyone has been closed from the ghost gate, and they have also completed their tasks.
"Grim, Goncharov, Broka...," Mavi said one by one, and said in a soft voice, "Welcome home." ”
Goncharov's eyes flashed with tears, he choked up, there were countless things he wanted to say, but it was obviously not the right time, he could only temporarily suppress it in his heart.
"Have you seen the tombstones erected on Red Square?" Ma Wei opened his mouth and said: "There are many names engraved on the tombstones, but more of them are nameless tombstones, one of which I kept for myself. ”
"We have seen the dawn of victory, we have successfully taken the first step, but the war is not over yet, just this morning, 600,000 troops, armed with the most advanced weapons, marched from Petersburg to Mosk, they took a train, crossed the Neva River, and tomorrow morning they will arrive at the northern gateway of Mosk, Tver ...."
"Comrades, they want to take away the fruits of our hard-won victory .... Can we agree? ”
"Can't!"
"Crush them!"
There were excited shouts from the audience.
"The opponent we encounter this time will be the kingdom army under the command of Archbishop Henry, although they are well-armed and numerous, I believe that an army without faith will not be able to defeat us!"
Ma Wei clenched his fists, slammed the pulpit hard, and said sharply: "They should be afraid of them!" Warriors of truth, invincible! ”
"Truth comes first!" The monks shouted in unison.
At this moment, Ma Wei, who was giving a speech, saw many figures appear at the door of the church, not the people who came looking for voices, but....
Alberts, Arhan, et al.
They were joined by the god of secrecy, Gehr.
"The church has prepared a magic ring for you to fight against the Cult of Wisdom, go find the source and get it, tonight, come with me to Tver, follow in the footsteps of the goddess, and defend Mosk!"
"Praise be to the Goddess!"
After the meeting ended, Ma Wei glanced at Sarina, and Sarina, who understood it, immediately walked out of the sermon hall and led Alberts and others outside the door to the waiting room.
When Alberts pushed open the door to the living room, Mavi, who was sitting in front of the fireplace, had a smile on his face:
"Guys, you... Made your choice? ”
