The sudden change startled the people who were talking.
But they quickly reacted and used the moonlight and dim lights to see clearly who was coming.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? To Turn Out to Be Someone from the Law Enforcement Team.
As pastors who have been classified as a cult organization, of course they are very afraid of the law enforcement team.
First of all, in the summer, the fate of those colleagues had already alarmed them.
And the European workers around these priests and priests were also stunned at this moment, standing there stupidly not knowing what to do.
Because all that flashed through their minds at this time were the scenarios of being kicked out of Manhattan and unable to gain a foothold in America in the future.
Yes, the empire has strict regulations on this, but anyone who helps or hides the cult organization, whether they are citizens or workers, will be permanently expelled from the empire and will also be imprisoned for hard labor as punishment. .
Now, these law enforcement team members are rushing over and are about to rush in front of them.
The fate of these pastors and priests can only be imagined.
For a laborer like himself who has helped church members, he will never be able to work here in Manhattan in the future, and he will no longer be able to enjoy the high salary and leisurely life here.
A priest suddenly shouted loudly at this time. At the same time, due to excessive force, his entire facial expression was distorted, looking very scary.
"There are so many of us, what are we afraid of! God is watching us, now is the time to show whether your faith in God is firm, rush!"
After saying that, the priest pretended to rush forward.
Under his leadership, the surrounding Europeans also involuntarily rushed towards the law enforcement team.
But no one knew that the leading priest deliberately ran a few steps and then turned around while there were more people. Ran into a dark alley.
However, the European workers who had been mobilized were already in an extremely wild state under the fanning of the priest.
Today, a lot of people were originally called to pray, so now there are a lot of people following these priests and priests after the ceremony. After such a fan, the law enforcement team has to face more than half of the fanatics.
After all, the law enforcement team and the Indian militia are only about fifty people.
How could he be the opponent of hundreds of people who were brainwashed by their beliefs and fell into a state of fanaticism.
soon. They were surrounded by these European laborers and beaten.
At this moment, those priests and priests have disappeared without a trace.
So far, this time the detective operation failed again.
Dividing line
"What! The law enforcement team was beaten, and there were also deaths!"
Wang Shan got the news about an hour later.
When he got the news, Wang Shan was very shocked.
In his opinion, have these Europeans taken crazy drugs?
How dare they cause such a life-threatening incident in Manhattan!
But no matter what. Now that this matter has arisen, he must come up with a way to solve it.
"How is the situation now?"
Wang Shan calmed down and asked.
¡°The North District, where foreign workers live, is now in turmoil. Thousands of rioters are gathering, shouting the slogan ¡®God is with me¡¯.¡±
After listening to what his subordinates said. Wang Shan laughed in anger.
"Damn it, the tiger doesn't show its power and thinks I'm a sick cat. It dares to do this under such circumstances. If I don't show them how powerful I am, they don't even know how many eyes Lord Ma has."
Wang Shan¡¯s anger level was fully charged at this time, he gritted his teeth and said to his subordinates.
"Sir, there are church pastors behind this matter. I think they were the ones behind the attacks on the law enforcement team, instigating the believers to cause trouble."
Wang Shan sneered and then said: "Inform Zhang Tie and Hei Xiong, and immediately declare the entire city to be in a state of emergency. At the same time, all Indian militiamen are in place, and the city is under martial law! The first legion surrounded the northern area where foreign workers live, and the second legion entered to suppress the thugs !¡±
Wang Shan is not a soft-hearted person. All he can think about now is bloody suppression.
Come to think of it, the Song Empire has always fought externally and has never taken action domestically.
And Europeans who have seen the armed forces of the Song Empire are of course honest.
But since Manhattan has developed so far, it has accepted many Europeans who came here directly from Europe on merchant ships to find a life.
These people don¡¯t know how powerful the Song Empire is.
And the main group of people who rioted today were also those who had never seen the power of the Song Empire.
Although they would have heard more or less about it from their predecessors after arriving in Manhattan, they didn¡¯t take it seriously at all.
It is this idea that fuels their arrogance.
Coupled with the fanning of priests and priests, coupled with the enthusiasm for faith.
So, the riot started like this.
"Okay sir!"
Wang Shan¡¯s men immediately took the order and left without any delay.
About half an hour later, Black Bear received the news and immediately gathered the Indian militiamen on Manhattan Island, then headed to the pier to take a boat to Manhattan City.
After Zhang Tie received the news, he immediately went to the military camp in the suburbs in person, mobilized two legions of Chinese descent and headed for the city.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s Wang Shan also notified him. Zhao Hongyu did not panic after receiving the news. He himself ordered his men to gather the imperial guards and then guard the main streets around the castle to prevent mob attacks.
Many Chinese residents in the city closed their shops early, took out the weapons at home, and distributed them to their clerks.
Although many European-American workers participated in this riot, there were still more European-American workers who did not join.
A large part of these people are the original residents of Virginia.
Because they all knew how powerful the Song Empire was, they simply did not believe that the Song Empire would be unable to deal with such a riot.
A group of common people. How is it possible to fight against the army?
Therefore, they wisely chose to side with the empire and did not take a trip into this muddy water.
In the North District, where foreign workers live, fires began to burn into the sky, and gunshots were heard piercing the quiet night.
Howls and screams came from time to time.
It can be seen that the Imperial Army definitely did not use gentle methods when suppressing.
"Why are you inciting these believers to riot! Are you all idiots? They are unarmed common people and there is no way they can be opponents of the Imperial Army!"
In the North District, the priests and priests who escaped earlier. At this time, they gathered in a house that served as a temporary combat headquarters.
This family is also a believer, so he willingly gave up his home to these church men.
Faced with the priest¡¯s questioning, the church members present remained silent.
"Are you really a little forgetful? Now that you have only achieved a little bit of success, you are actually dreaming of doing such a thing. I really can't understand whether you are filled with shit. ah."
The more the priest spoke, the more unpleasant he sounded.
Soon, some people couldn¡¯t stand it anymore.
"Wood, shut up!"
A middle-aged man wearing a black priest's robe suddenly opened his mouth and shouted loudly.
"Why are you afraid of the empire? Is it because of the weapons in their hands?" The middle-aged priest's face turned abnormally red due to excitement. "We have firm faith and don't need to be afraid of their weapons. These believers can let the empire know how powerful God is. Regardless of failure or success today, at least the empire will suffer great losses, so they will treat the church in the future. Regarding the issue, we will definitely deal with it carefully. It will never be the same again. Because they will definitely worry that if they continue to treat us so aggressively, there may be riots."
Dare to love. The priest's wishful thinking was to shock the top leaders of the Song Empire through such a riot.
"Yes, this is a good opportunity. Thousands of people are already taking action, and the entire North District is in chaos. Even if the empire suppresses it, it will take a lot of effort. At the same time, these believers who have been fanned out , it will also cause great losses to the empire's economy, so I want to see if the empire dares to treat us with such contempt in the future."
Inciting believers to cause trouble, they now think it is a crime?In addition to opportunities, they also want to obtain certain benefits and status through this method.
After all, according to their thinking, if this matter were placed on the European continent, then those past or great nobles would definitely bow to them.
And here in Manhattan, America, there will be no exceptions.
It¡¯s different now than it was in the summer.
There were not many believers at that time.
Most people mainly focus on making money, so it is normal that they cannot open up the situation.
But now, many European workers who are spiritually empty have returned to the embrace of the Lord.
??allowing them to manipulate a large number of believers.
This is the biggest bargaining chip in their hands.
What is most important to an empire?
Stablize! And economic development!
These people in the church understand this very clearly.
But the Song Empire branded them as a cult and an illegal organization. How could they bear it?
The previous low profile was just due to lack of strength.
But today, due to some strange combination of circumstances, there are already signs of a riot.
Since this is the case, then why not follow the trend and fan bigger and let the Song Empire see their strength.
Showing off one¡¯s powerful ¡®muscles¡¯ is also a demonstration to the empire, letting the empire know that they are not easy to mess with.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Maybe they can get what they want.
I have to say, these people have wonderful ideas.
"That's it! That's it! No matter what the empire sends troops to suppress now, we still got the result we wanted. After everything is over, we can talk to the empire. I guess they don't want to see people making trouble all the time. . If the security here is always unstable, how can trade be carried out?"
¡°As if they felt that they had identified the empire¡¯s weakness, these people began to speak unscrupulously.
At this time, they seemed to have regained the feeling of superiority they had when they were in Europe. This feeling really made them feel so happy.
After arriving in Manhattan for the first time, they had been careful to keep a low profile after what happened in the summer, which made them feel very uncomfortable.
You know, when we were in Europe, none of the ordinary people would treat them with respect when they saw them.
Many times, their power is even greater than that of some nobles and small lords.
¡°You¡¯re a heretic¡± can get someone killed.
Only those guys with black hair and eyes here in America can disrespect themselves and their beliefs so much.
And at this time, since they already have such an opportunity, they can give the other party a taste of the power.
As long as the other party has a taste of its power, their treatment of the church will definitely change in the future, right?
"I won't argue with you here. There is not enough chaos outside now. We need to let the people in the Song Empire know what pain is, so that they can take the church's affairs seriously."
At this time, an old pastor stood up, said something directly to everyone and then left the room.
As he became more powerful, many priests and pastors also stood up and left.
They all understood what the original old pastor was trying to do. All he wanted to do was to incite the believers and use the name of the Lord to make them cause more trouble.
There were still holy wars in the Middle Ages. In America, you can also use the name of God to rob.
For people in these churches, God is of course used as a fig leaf and excuse, and it is also a gift given to them by God.
"If you ask them whether they believe in God, they probably don't believe it either.
But if you don¡¯t believe it, don¡¯t believe it, but God has many benefits after all.
"Believers of the Lord, release your anger tonight. Under the witness of God, everything you do today will become a certificate leading to heaven, because you are fighting in a wilderness for the glory of God!"
"Kill the heretics with black hair and black eyes, and the Lord will leave you a place in heaven!"
"Go, set fire, massacre, God gives you this right today!"
The crowd went crazy for the priests¡¯ fanning and were excited to go to ¡®heaven¡¯.
Of course, of course theyThey can go to 'heaven', because the army that the empire has sent in will help them!
The entire North District has been surrounded by groups, and the main street entrance has also been garrisoned by the army.
It can be said that if these thugs want to say goodbye and cause shock, the first thing they have to face is the muzzle of the Army's Second Corps
"Charge! Kill! For the glory of the Lord!" (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go and read.)
