In Guo Kang's view, this incident is a classic case of declining church quality. Ordinary barbarians found that they had an advantage, and it was normal for their mentality to drift, and as a result, the church followed suit. Then this church has not been done in vain for thousands of years.

The church was able to develop in the first place because it was more civilized than ordinary people. Even if there are all kinds of corruption, infighting, and bigotry, the overall moral level is much higher than that of the secular aristocracy. I am really sorry for my brother and St. Peter.

And the consequences of this are also very obvious. As long as we resist foreigners, we must resist foreign religions, and the people do have the ability to oppose foreign religions. In 1900, after the Boxer Rebellion became active, it quickly destroyed a large number of church forces in North China.

According to the church's own perspective, in the past six months, the Boxers produced nearly 100 Catholic saints and more than 200 Orthodox saints at one time. Considering that for 2,000 years, there have been only a few thousand saints in the Church, which is more efficient than the Roman legions......

As for the Protestant denominations, it is impossible to say how much they have lost, because there is no unified organization. Considering that these people's performance is more chaotic, it is estimated that it will not be much better.

In fact, the quality of Protestant priests is so low that the foreigners themselves cannot stand it. The commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Wadsey, specifically criticized the American priests, saying that these people were seriously unqualified in terms of moral standards and professional work, which made the Germans, who were also Protestants, look down on them. In this case, religion itself becomes a side effect entirely.

Therefore, it is also an important reminder. Religion is indeed a useful tool, but only if it can bring about a better situation for everyone. Teach yourself to stay sober, otherwise you will definitely overturn.

Now the situation is the same in the city. If you don't take people seriously, then it's useless to preach the scriptures. The Rus' people have never heard of the scriptures, and their culture even belongs to the more religious ones. However, in such a situation, preaching the Bible could not arouse their enthusiasm.

These Rus, although not very good at resisting, are very good at lying down and grinding foreign workers. The entire village culture has this atmosphere of "soft resistance" everywhere. If you want to pull these people up and give them the motivation to farm and fight, you must show real sincerity and make the other side believe it. These are all routine services and prayers that cannot be provided.

These questions must have been more familiar to Father Mikhail and others, who had actually come into contact with the Rus'.

"Then we'll settle it." He finally said to the priests: "I will trouble you in the next few days. ”

"Why don't we act today?" Father Mikhail said suddenly.

"Today?" Guo Kang was a little surprised.

"The more this kind of thing is investigated, the more people will be alarmed." Father Mikhail told him: "The situation in the ghetto is complicated, and the people of the Church are there to censor and it is very visible. I feel that with an initial goal, we can go straight to action. ”

Guo Kang really hadn't thought about this aspect before, he thought about it and felt that it seemed to make sense.

"Do we have enough of them?" He asked.

"We can call people." Fr. André said: "Artem and they are all in the church, and they can call more than 20 people. The Patriarch should be able to provide some manpower as well. ”

"Yesterday I asked him to send an inspector to investigate, and they will come back in the evening to report on the first day." Guo Kang thought for a while and said, "I'll bring Wu Han with me." Let's see if there are any church knights who are still idle, and they should be able to call some. ”

"That's enough, there's no need to call everybody." "Too many people is not necessarily a good thing, and it may be better to keep a low profile when entering," said Fr. Mikhail. ”

Guo Kang felt that this old man was quite experienced, so he decided to listen to him again. He nodded, indicating that he would choose the best ones, and as for Father Rose's side, there was no need for more than twenty people to rush over, just choose a few of the most suitable ones.

And the combat effectiveness of those people does not need to be worried. These monks were ruthless people who dared to run around on the wild "land" and often traveled back and forth between settlements. Not to mention anything else, if you can live for so many years, your survivability must be full......

Of course, this is not just about rushing over and hacking a few prisoners to death. In this regard, Guo Kang is very careful. He asked Father Andrei to find someone, and then called Father Mikhail and took him to the Great Lama Wang.

There must also be a good reason for using the power of the Church, because the Church of Rome has only the duty of examination and investigation, and has no power to divide it by actual punishment. In other words, they can arrest people on charges of disturbing order, engaging in incitement, and endangering the authority of the church and the state, but they cannot conduct a public trial in public, as Guo Kang thinks, so as to propagate to ordinary residents.

This case can be used as a reference in the future, so Guo Kang hopes to try not to leave any loopholes. But the management of the Purple Horde was indeed very chaotic, and it was impossible not to alarm others.

Guo Kang regretted a little and let her go without asking Theodora. But she was going to more important occasions, and it was unrealistic to look for them now. So, he thought about it for a while and decided to do his best with the resources in his hands.

First of all, it's on the side of the Great Lama Wang. Since the investigation has already begun, it is enough to say that the situation there is dangerous and that you need to increase your strength to avoid accidents. Take a procedure here, it can almost be solved, it's a big deal to take the "gray knight" standing guard in the Niangniang Temple to take away, anyway, they are here, mainly a guard of honor, idle and idle.

Subsequently, after emphasizing the importance of this matter to the Church and the Rus' faithful, Father Mikhail was left here to walk the process and left first.

He brought with him the documents from the Grand Lama Wang, as well as the records handed in by the censors, and asked Father Marco to come with him. The two, along with several church personnel, ran all the way to the military headquarters.

Guo Kang found his father-in-law and told him that there was a case on the side of the Ross New Army, and now it has been found out by the church. However, on the church side, it is inconvenient to act directly, so I have to find someone from this side.

But his father-in-law told him that he didn't have anyone on his side.

As in most parts of the world, there is no well-developed police system in the capital. Although there are indeed catches, to be honest, no one has reported it yet, and these catches must not be counted on.

And not to mention at this time, even in many modern countries, it is normal to catch fast and not go to the slums. If they were reliable, they would not have raised such a repeat offender who has been doing evil all year round.

So Guo Kang insisted that the army must be used in this matter.
