Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is precisely because of the similar ideological foundations between the Free Masons and the Yinghua Tianmiao that the Tianmiao was able to take root in Europe. It not only served more and more Chinese in Europe, but even attracted some Europeans to join the Tianmiao.  The Europeans are mainly Portuguese and Spanish girls. They rely on their status as Chinese wives to add their root cards to the root wall, and thus they are "blessed" by the light of Siris.

    To the Holy See, the Free Masons and the Temple of Seris are a pair of evil spirits working together. Rome and Seris have always been at odds with each other, and they ¡°excommunicate¡± Seris every year. This is not a crusade against the non-gods of Seris.  The theory is to accuse Siris's medical skills of being witchcraft.

    The Free Masons have been Rome's millennium enemy. A key reason for the rise of this organization is that the European intellectual class, the booming business class, and the royal forces who hope to control secular power united to resist the Holy See.  This tide that lasted for hundreds of years not only produced the Religious Reformation, Protestantism, but also the Free Masons. The Enlightenment Movement in Europe was initiated by these forces that jointly opposed the Holy See.

    Unlike other forces that have clear clues about the Renaissance and religious revolution, the background of the rise of the Free Masons is quite complex, which also paved the way for it to become a popular carrier of conspiracy theories in the future.

    After Cai Xin came to Europe, he studied this organization in depth, including kings such as King Frederick II of Prussia and King George II of Britain, and celebrities such as Voltaire of France. Almost most of them were dissatisfied with the current political, cultural, religious and technological status quo.  , are all members of this organization.  Moreover, the top leaders of this organization are also from the upper class.  For example, the second-generation Grand Master of the British Free Masons is the Duke of Montaqui, and the third-generation Grand Master is the Duke of Canton. Many members of the royal family are also important members of the organization.  Even in the thirteen distant states of North America.  Many influential local figures are also members of this organization.

    Cai Xin, who is in charge of Europa¡¯s foreign affairs, will not ignore such an influential group, but what interests him even more is.  The ideological foundation of this organization is very similar to Yinghua Tiandao.

    The free masons at this time would respect the idea that the world was built by gods embodied by reason, and humans, including humans, were all designed and created by gods.  The designs of the gods are complex, yet harmonious and perfect, and contain endless wisdom. Based on the pursuit of this wisdom, everyone formed such an organization.

    This kind of thinking is almost only separated by a wall from Yinghua Tiandao, the "Tao" pursued by Yinghua Tiandao.  It is no different from the wisdom pursued by the Free Masons. The most obvious difference between the two lies in their different identification of the carrier attributes of this wisdom.

    Yinghua Tiandao is rooted in the Taoist theory of "God is not benevolent" and believes that the origin of the creation of this world has no will, which means there is no "divine nature" as Europeans call it.  The Free Masons do not give a specific divine description of the origin of this world in order to attract people from different religious backgrounds to participate in the organization, but they still emphasize theism, that is, the Creator has a will.

    simply say.  You think there is a god in this world, and your belief in this god does not prevent you from joining the Free Masons and becoming colleagues with people who believe in other gods.  You even have to believe in a god to be eligible to join this organization.  Free Masons do not care about the name of God, His commandments and teachings.  They will not build churches to penetrate into people¡¯s souls. They only care about God¡¯s wisdom and the rational side of God.

    Whether there is God or not is actually not the key. Even emphasizing theism is a necessary cover-up. After all, in Europe before modern materialist atheism matured, if you did not believe in God, you were not a human being.

    The focus of free masons is rational wisdom, which is similar to Siris' theory of "the unity of nature and man". They also believe that the world is the macrocosm and man is the microcosm, and there is a corresponding relationship between the two.  The free mason's view of the world is similar to Seris' Temple of Heaven. He believes that people are actually imperfect copies of the universe, and they need to constantly correct themselves with reason and morality, pursue the path of wisdom, and thus complete the "inner temple"  The construction will ultimately realize the unity of nature and man.

    Based on this consensus, the Free Masons have particularly close exchanges with the Seris people and the Seris Temple. Intellectuals like Voltaire who fanatically respect Seris regard the Free Masons as a European replica of the Seris Heavenly Way.

    Although Yinghua is happy to accept this kind of exchange, he does not want the Europeans to understand Siris' way of heaven in this way.  On the one hand, Cai Xin politely suggested that the Free Masons of Britain lower the standards of their trip to Siris due to physical reasons, but on the other hand, he emphasized the ideological differences between the two in front of Peter. This also meant that he should be careful to keep a certain distance from the Free Masons.

    In Cai Xin's view, the Free Masons also have something worthy of criticism. The first point is its ideological foundation. Although the theism it advocates comes from Plato, some of the foundations attached to theism have been hacked by the Holy See.  Thousand-year-old Gnostic sect.  This teachingReese conspiracy theory¡± is fermenting.

    Among the crimes that the Roman Catholic Church accused Siris of were: "Conspiracy to subvert Europe built by God's people by controlling heretics." The so-called "heresies" are the Free Masons.

    If the Tianmiao and even the Yinghua envoys really want to wear a pair of trousers like the Free Masons, they will be meaninglessly providing ammunition for the Holy See to incite popular sentiment, and at the same time, they are also needlessly creating centripetal force against Yinghua for Europe.

    "By the way, Chief Tutor Anderson, I have something else to trouble you with. I heard that Bank of England is lobbying the British parliamentarians to continue to increase import tariffs on our Siris, in order to threaten our Siris banks to accept their finances.  Agreement. I wonder if the chief instructor is willing to mediate"

    Cai Xin¡¯s topic suddenly turned to financial matters. Not only was Peter¡¯s smile a little stiff, but Anderson was also a little surprised.

    Cai Xin¡¯s next words made Anderson even more embarrassed: ¡°I roughly know that there are many Jewish bankers in your Free Masons, and they have a great say in this matter.¡±

    Anderson hurriedly said: "Our Free Masons are just a fraternity. We have little interference in the specific affairs of our members. We can't guarantee that we will accomplish anything. If we just keep in touch, that's no problem."

    He said a little apologetically: "In order to expand the influence of our Free Masons, we have no choice but to absorb people like them."

    Not only was it a last resort, the Jewish influence on the Free Masons was so great that the parts describing the organization¡¯s origins and beliefs in the organization¡¯s charter were tainted with a strong flavor of Jewish classics.

    This is also a historical necessity. The Free Masons have attracted a large number of the most outstanding and active talents in Europe, and most of them are upper-class figures. As the most astute businessmen and the most visionary investors, it is inevitable to target the Free Masons.

    The reason why Anderson was apologetic is another reason why Cai Xin wants to keep a certain distance from the Free Masons: Jews, specifically Jewish bankers, are becoming Yinghua in the new situation of East-West trade.  stumbling block.

    As trade prospered, the demand for financial services became stronger and stronger. Relying on their unique position in Europa's financial industry, Jewish bankers treated the British and Chinese businessmen who came to Europe to engage in business as soft persimmons and used various means to squeeze out the British and Chinese.  Local financial power, what Cai Xin just mentioned is one example.

    Of course, at this time, the Jews did not yet have the position at the top of the financial food chain that they would occupy a hundred years later, but it was they who held the most active parts at the bottom and in the middle.  At this time, they are like lubricants. Without them, the newly established financial systems of European countries will not function properly.  Taking advantage of this status, Jewish bankers united and used financial and even political power to put pressure on the British and Chinese financiers who came from afar. The British and Chinese had only two choices, either to become the slaves of the Jews or to get out.

    Cai Xin naturally has to stand up and seek justice for his own people.

    "This is not part of our agreement"

    Peter quickly made a statement of neutrality. You go and fight on your own, while the British Kingdom sits on the mountain and watches the fight between tigers and tigers.

    Cai Xin looked at Anderson and sighed meaningfully: "Jews, what a headache."

    In Lisbon, a fat man jumped in the Chinese-style building with flying eaves and beams and said: "Let's go! We have to have a big fight today! If we don't knock that Jew down, my surname will not be Zhong!"

    This young fat man has a good appearance, but his eyes are slipping all the time. If we could turn back the time a few decades, he would look like he was in the same position.

    A dull man next to the fat man asked blankly: "Third Young Master, do you want to bring a gun!?"

    "You are stupid, you have to use your brains and words to fight the Jews! Swords and guns are of no use!"

    Zhong Sanri roared, and when he shouted, he had the aura of his superior Zhong.

    ,please.
