Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ps: August has started, will you continue to stick to 10,000 words this month?  ?

    With the destruction of the Galliford fleet, the Dutch-controlled colonies in the northern Caribbean no longer even have a decent warship, which means they no longer have the strength to fight against the imperial fleet.

    Now, for the imperial fleet, all they have to do is drive leisurely outside the colonial waters, and then fire on the city to force the Dutch to surrender.

    This is a very relaxing thing.

    And when the officials in the Netherlands learned that Galliford had taken away all the last battleships, even the most vicious curses were of no avail.

    What they can do now is to stay in the colonial city and wait for the arrival of the Song Empire fleet.

    Its huge assets have not had time to be transferred, and it seems that in the end they will all be advantageous to the Song Empire.

    Even if these people don't want to, there is nothing they can do. This is the situation now.

    And news of the Imperial Fleet¡¯s successive victories in the Caribbean was also transmitted back to Manhattan one after another.

    The Imperial Propaganda Department also disseminated this information immediately to let citizens in the Empire and those foreign European laborers know what the current situation of the Empire's strategy for the Caribbean is like.

    In this way, we can inspire the hearts of citizens and let those European citizens feel the power of the empire.

    Such distribution has to be said to be very useful.

    The continuous success of the raids in the Caribbean shows that the imperial fleet is very powerful.

    That¡¯s what those European laborers thought.

    A powerful and wealthy empire with a better environment than Europe.

    The system is also very desirable.

    The attraction of such a country to a person is very great.

    So, when the Caribbean Strategy was announced, there was a wave of discussion about citizenship applications here in Manhattan.

    Hundreds of thousands of European workers working in the Empire have applied to the Immigration Bureau to join the Empire and become official citizens of the Empire.

    pity.  Now the empire is no longer as relaxed about citizens joining as it was a year ago.

    Therefore, the selection process for those Europeans who want to join the empire is very strict.

    In the end, only a small number of well-behaved and law-abiding European workers became citizens as they wished and became the envy of others.

    There are only a few hundred such people.

    Originally, the Imperial Immigration Bureau did not want even one person, but considering the feelings of the European workers, it reluctantly accepted hundreds of people as citizens.

    There is also a reason to follow the example of these people and let the European workers see a little hope.

    after all.  If no one wants them, these European workers will feel disappointed or even desperate.

    When the time comes, no one can guarantee whether these people will do something bad out of disappointment and despair.

    In this case, it¡¯s better to give them a little hope.

    And because of hope, these people's enthusiasm for work will be greatly improved, and in order to become citizens, they will pay attention to their words and deeds from time to time.

    So that you can get some extra points when you apply to become a citizen in the future.

    The advantages of doing this are better than not having any.

    ¡°And there¡¯s been an undercurrent in Manhattan recently, and the power of the church has begun to resurgence.

    The pastors of the church are hidden among the people.  He continued to spread the faith of the European church, and also slandered the empire by saying that it was controlled by blasphemers from top to bottom.

    If everyone still does not believe in God, then God will definitely send down the thunder and wrath of punishment and turn the empire into ruins.  Those of them in the empire are not immune either.

    If you want to avoid punishment, then believe in God and throw yourself into the arms of the Lord.

    Think about the fact that Egypt in the past suffered plague and divine punishment because of its disbelief in the Lord.  The Song Empire will also suffer such punishment in the future.

    These hidden priests initially targeted genetic people of Chinese descent.

    But what makes them very disappointed is that these Chinese genetic people will betray them later.  Then the priests would be arrested.

    This has caused great losses to the pastors.

    Therefore, these wise pastors no longer target Chinese citizens.

      Instead, they focused on European-American workers.

    You must know that the number of European workers in the empire now accounts for more than one million, which can be said to be the strength of numbers.

    The pastors knew very well that as long as these European-born workers, whose beliefs were no longer firm, could continue to strengthen their beliefs, they would be able to threaten the rulers of Manhattan through a large number of believers in the future.

    You must know that business is very developed in Manhattan. If riots or turmoil occur, it will be very huge for the economy of Manhattan.

    Therefore, what is needed here in Manhattan is stability, not turmoil.

    Precisely because they saw this, these pastors immediately changed their focus and strategy, and began to spare no effort to lobby the European workers.

    After all, these laborers from Europe were originally people accustomed to the existence of the church.

    Since childhood, he has grown up under the influence of the church.

    Therefore, they have become accustomed to the church as an organization.

    Compared to the people of the Song Empire who didn¡¯t believe in God at all, these workers were easier to deal with.

    The ideas of these pastors are not wrong at all. Under their intimidation and deception, they have really achieved great results.

    Those European workers really believe that God will really punish them. At that time, just like what is told in the Bible, Manhattan will also suffer a disaster like ancient Egypt.

    If that¡¯s the case, then what are you waiting for?

    Hurry up and return to the embrace of God and let God forgive you.

    In fact, it is very simple to ask God to forgive yourself. As long as you repent to the priest and donate all your property to the church (actually the priest), then you will be forgiven by God.

    Amen!

    "These guys are really good at cheating money, but these European fools were really fooled. At that time, the plague was probably epidemic in Egypt because of hygiene problems. What does this have to do with God? Besides, various diseases are prevalent in the world, and they have always been there.  It hasn't stopped, could it be all God's fault?" After reading the report sent by Wang Shan, Zhao Hongyu put it aside with infinite contempt and said to Wang Shan with a strange expression on his face.

    After the New Year, Song Hu, Professor Liu and others left Manhattan and returned to their own cities.

    Zhao Hongyu suddenly felt free again.

    Sarah went to the manor of the widows of Samuel's family every day, and Emma had summoned a new female guard captain, so the two women, one large and one small, had their own things to do, unlike Zhao Hongyu.  It is so boring.

    Although Zhao Hongyu has decided to go to the East, because all the warships selected have been transferred to the Caribbean, Zhao Hongyu now has no warships on hand.

    Without the battleship, Zhao Hongyu would have no way to go to the east.

    Therefore, now he can only wait patiently, waiting for the shipyard's new warship to be launched before he can start his journey to the East.

    Although his own heavily armed battleship is still there, parked at the pier in Manhattan.

    But if you want to go to the East, a battleship will not do it.

    Zhao Hongyuhe is very clear that in the eastern waters, it is now the time to fight pirates Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong.

    Which of these two Eastern pirate leaders does not have thousands of warships under his command?

    Although the Eastern warships cannot compare with our own warships, their numbers are also scary.

    Of course, these battleships are very scattered and cannot be obtained in a short time.

    But this also made Zhao Hongyu very careful about it.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu decided that on this voyage to the East, he must at least be accompanied by a group of thirty-six improved Dutch frigates, otherwise it would be troublesome to encounter pirates in the East.

    Therefore, he is also waiting.

    We are waiting for the shipyard to launch the new battleship, but it will take at least a month for the new battleship to be launched.

    During this time, Zhao Hongyu was also bored.

    Fortunately, he remembered that there was still a big problem to be solved in Manhattan.

    That is the resurgence of the church.

    Suddenly, I finally found something to do.

    Originally, Wang Shan was doing this.

    Now Zhao Hongyu has joined in to make it less boring.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s okay to be idle anyway, find something to do for yourself to pass the boring time.

    ? ?Therefore, now Wang Shan basically runs to Zhao Hongyu every day and reports the latest situation to him.

    Wang Shan controls the empire's intelligence department, so he closely monitors every move of the hidden priests. Those priests don't know that what they do is actually closely watched by the empire. They think that the empire  I don't know anything about their behavior.

    As soon as Zhao Hongyu finished speaking, Wang Shan smiled and continued: "Your Highness is right, the church knows how to talk big words. If their so-called God is really so powerful, is there no miracle in so many years? But as far as I know  The so-called miracles are actually all said by the church itself. Anyone with a brain will know whether there is any fraud. As for the plague and bubonic plague in ancient Egypt, it is normal. In the Middle Ages, Europe did not  Was there a plague that killed half of the population of the European continent? Could it be that God was also punishing themselves at that time? I heard that many priests in the church also died."

    Wang Shan, like Zhao Hongyu, is not very interested in the rhetoric of the church, and even has extreme contempt for it.

    Because they all understand that what these pastors of the church say are just exaggerated threats.

    If it was really so powerful, why would they still say it with their mouths?

    God struck down with a thunderbolt.
