As the crackdown enters its final stages, these pastors and priests are now left with little recourse.
There are only two choices before them now. One is to quickly find an opportunity to see if they can escape, and the other is to surrender and see if there is a way to survive.
Apart from these two paths, they have no other choice.
It was obvious that there was only death waiting for them if they stubbornly resisted.
Under such circumstances, the choice they can make is obvious.
die!
They definitely don't want to.
How could I die like this with my wonderful life?
They haven¡¯t enjoyed life yet, and they will never be willing to die like this.
They must live well and enjoy a beautiful life while living.
As for the believers who died in the turmoil and violence, they have nothing to do with them.
These fools were willing to do what they were told, and it was their own choice to do what they did.
So, they should accept this result.
This is also God¡¯s arrangement, isn¡¯t it?
The screening and massacre of believers outside continues, and the sounds of begging for mercy and wailing that come from time to time will make the pastors and priests tremble.
The sound moved from far away to near, and gradually got closer.
This shows that the Imperial Regiment has begun to shrink their encirclement, and the scope of screening has begun to narrow.
Soon it will be their turn.
But under such circumstances, it is obviously very difficult to escape from here.
They have sent out more than a dozen fanatical believers to find a way to escape.
But to their dismay, there was no way out.
At the same time, they also lost a lot of manpower for this matter.
God, are you really going to die here today?
Although some pastors or priests were shouting loudly just now, in fact, they are extremely frightened in their hearts.
Because they don¡¯t know whether the Imperial Army¡¯s butcher¡¯s knife will fall on their heads.
After all, this is not Europe.
At this moment, these people thought of this.
I have to say this is a very funny thing.
???Don¡¯t people with brain-deadness like them think that as long as they are under the shining of the glory of the ¡®Lord¡¯, everything they do will be invincible.
Why are they still afraid now?
This is something very funny.
Logically speaking, at this time they should pray and call their God to save them.
After all, they are God¡¯s servants and they are doing things for God, aren¡¯t they?
God has such great magical power, so now he should show his miracles and save these people.
Only at such a critical moment can he show his greatness by rescuing these people.
But unfortunately, such a thing is simply impossible to happen.
First of all, there are two opinions on whether God exists or not.
Even the so-called miracles spread by the church cannot be evaluated as to whether they are true or not.
Therefore, judging from the current situation, the decision of life and death does not lie with God, but with the emperor, who is more terrifying than God.
How funny!
When did the empire¡¯s soldiers become more powerful than God?
This is very funny.
But in the hearts of these pastors and priests, they all think so.
"Let's go out and tell them our identity. I think these imperial people won't kill us."
At this time, someone made a suggestion.
"No, those priests were all killed in the summer. It shows that the empire will not show mercy just because we are members of the church."
Someone immediately raised objections.
"But if we don't surrender, what options do we have now?"
This question really caught everyone¡¯s attention.
Yes, if you still insist on it now, what will they say in the imperial screening later?
No matter how they make it up, they cannot deny it.
??Besides, it is estimated that the empire already knows the cause of this riot.
The masterminds behind the scenes have been known to the other party for a long time.
Now that they have done such a thing, there is no guarantee that the empire will not kill them.
After all, what they did was too big.
Originally, they thought that if they made a fuss, the empire would at most suppress it and would not do anything to these workers.
"But what they didn't expect was that the empire actually exceeded their expectations and killed these people without any ambiguity.
This is simply not taking human life seriously.
¡°When they met the top leaders of this country, these pastors and priests immediately became confused.
In fact, they didn¡¯t even think about it. These European workers were not citizens of the empire in the first place, so why would the empire care about their lives.
These people just came to the empire to work and make money.
You said that since you are a person who works to make money, then you should be honest.
¡°But these people are so idle that they are not honest.
You have to do something like this.
?The empire is still spoiling you.
Anyway, he is not a citizen of the empire, and he has no good impression of Europeans from the empire.
In order to suppress the riot as quickly as possible, it became inevitable to kill.
As for the death of European workers, which will lead to a huge gap in employment, the empire does not care.
It¡¯s not like the empire is begging you to come. Anyway, the salary here is good and the benefits are good. If the Europeans don¡¯t come, others will come.
¡°Besides, can¡¯t you buy black slaves?
And now Zhao Hongyu and the others have decided to set off to the East in the beginning of spring to get some people back from them.
By then, Europeans will no longer be so important.
Compared with these Europeans, Easterners are more hardworking and hardworking. As long as you give them a little benefit, they will create a lot of value for you.
¡°And if the Orientals feed him, they won¡¯t cause trouble.
At the same time, Easterners have little interest in the church, and they will not have the troubles and ambitions of a divinely authorized king like the church.
The most important thing is that Easterners are very responsible.
Give him a piece of land, give him a little sweetness and he can manage it.
It is much easier than managing Europeans.
Therefore, if these European workers dare to cause trouble now, the Song Empire will definitely not show mercy.
At the same time, we are also taking this opportunity to let all Europeans working in the empire take a look and let them know the methods of the empire.
This can be considered a warning.
Warn the workers from Europe what they can and cannot do.
This is America, not Europe.
This is not a place where anyone can do whatever they want, that's obvious.
Just when everyone was arguing, there was a knock on the door, which made them suddenly quiet while they were arguing¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"How is the handling of the riot going?"
At this time, both Wang Shan and Zhang Tie came to Zhao Hongyu's castle to meet him. As soon as they met Zhao Hongyu, they asked about this matter.
Although Zhao Hongyu knows that this turmoil will eventually be resolved.
But he was still a little worried.
"It has been resolved. Everyone in the North District was suppressed and executed. Although some were unjustly accused, most of them deserved it." Wang Shan's answer was simple and cruel.
Zhang Tie beside him nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Wang Shan's handling method.
"The leaders behind the scenes have been caught. After interrogation, they actually did not plan this riot, and it happened very suddenly. The reason is because the law enforcement team discovered that they were gathering illegally, so when they wanted to arrest them, these people improvised That¡¯s why it became so big.¡±
In the end, those priests and priests will catch them, and they will not be able to escape the North District at all.
After catching these people, the gene warriors did not execute them immediately, but sent them to Wang Shan for surprise interrogation.
Under the torture of which mountains to torture, these priests and pastors were all recruited.
At this point, Wang Shan also understood the origin of this turmoil.
"Even if it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, we should be very alert. They can create such a big battle in a hurry. It shows that the church is really not a good thing. If weIf we don¡¯t resolve the church¡¯s issues as soon as possible and let them get bigger, we will be in real trouble. "
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s tone was solemn.
Wang Shan and Zhang Tie nodded in agreement.
"I have informed the Intelligence Department and asked them to immediately push out the Jie Jiaojiao. At this time, the church is being suppressed by us and immediately come to the table to start evangelism."
Zhang Tie also said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, now that the church has gone through such a turmoil and been suppressed by us, it will definitely not be possible for them to preach again and gain the support of Europeans in a short time. So this gap For us, we can still use it at first. When the church people surface again, they will find that there is no place for them to stay in the empire. "
Zhao Hongyu heard this and said: "Indeed, this matter has been settled. This time I have also seen clearly that the church must not condone it, otherwise it will cause big troubles. These people are still lingering, and Xia Tian just killed them Some people, and now some people have popped up, they are simply impossible to defeat. Instead of always being on guard against them, we might as well use another method to deal with them."
It¡¯s not unreasonable for Zhao Hongyu to say this.
Think about it, a group of priests and priests have already been dealt with in the summer.
But within just half a year, church members appeared in the imperial city again and secretly preached the gospel.
While waiting for the empire to discover it, its followers had already exceeded the 100,000 mark.
This is a very scary thing.
If the other party comes openly, Zhao Hongyu and the others are really not afraid.
But I was worried that the other party would be so sneaky, leaving them defenseless.
¡°If it weren¡¯t for some mistake this time, the priests and priests would still be eager for success and insist on causing a riot to show the empire their strength.
Maybe, the empire really has nothing to do about it.
When they regain control of the believers, then Zhao Hongyu and the others will have a headache.
At the same time, it can also be seen from this incident that the other party has learned to be smart this time.
Through constant lessons, the other party is also constantly growing.
Thinking about it after this time, the other party will definitely act more secretly, become smarter and more difficult to deal with.
And Zhao Hongyu and the others have no way to guard against the church personnel.
Every day, ships come to the port of Manhattan, and many European workers get off the ships.
"If those priests and priests put on a set of clothes, they are actually no different from ordinary people, and there is no way to tell them apart.
As the saying goes, there is no reason to guard against thieves all day long.
This is simply unpreventable.
And the European population is not very repulsive to the church, so the church can gain a lot in a short period of time.
It can be seen from this incident.
Although the empire classified the church as a cult and banned people in the empire from lifting it, the Europeans still couldn't control it.
"People who are not from my race must have different minds. After Zhao Hongyu experienced this incident, he had an even less favorable impression of Europeans.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing I need to report."
Wang Shan said while Zhao Hongyu was deep in thought.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
After being called out of his thoughts by Wang Shan's voice, Zhao Hongyu set his sights on him.
"Your Highness, we can no longer just keep an eye on those Europeans. We must also strictly control our Chinese people. Otherwise, they are likely to be seduced by people in the church and become believers. It¡¯s *annoying.¡±
Hearing what Wang Shan said, Zhao Hongyu's pupils shrank sharply.
"What! Are any citizens of Chinese descent believing in religion?"
Originally, Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t think such a thing would happen. He still had great confidence in Chinese citizens.
However, now that he heard Wang Shan say this, he felt a little less confident.
Wang Shan is not the kind of person who talks nonsense. The reason why he solemnly reminded this matter must be that he has mastered something.
"No, but there is a trend."
Wang Shan shook his head and replied with a serious expression.
"It's so early. Didn't we inform the Chinese citizens to stay away from the church?"
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s expression became a little ugly.
The most confident Chinese descendant, nowZhao Hongyu must have felt uncomfortable because of this problem.
"Your Highness, because most of the Chinese women want to have a wedding in a wedding dress and hold it in a church, many people come to government departments every day to make suggestions and hope to set up churches in the empire. "
"What do these people think? Don't they understand that setting up a church means giving the church an opportunity?"
Zhao Hongyu said, hating that iron cannot become steel.
Wang Shandao: "There are not many such people, there are just a few women coming and going. When they were cultivated, most of them had received more foreign ideas, so they were more Westernized."
"Do you have a husband?" Zhao Hongyu suddenly asked.
Wang Shan nodded: "We all have boyfriends, and they are all Europeans."
Zhao Hongyu was completely helpless.
"Your Highness, how should we deal with these people?"
Wang Shan asked.
Zhao Hongyu thought for a while: "Bring them and their boyfriends to Europe. Don't they like everything about the West? Then let them see what Europe is like in this era. Remember. We cannot place them in concessions, we must send them to real European cities of this era."
kill! They definitely couldn't be killed, after all, they were also of Chinese descent.
But staying in the empire will definitely be a disaster.
Therefore, don¡¯t they like Europe? Then go to Europe.
" Zhao Hongyu can do this, which can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous.
"Your Highness, I need to remind you that you need to talk to Sarah and the women of the Samuel family about the church. They are also Europeans and must be religious. If the church uses them to break through, it will make us very unhappy. Passivity, we have to guard against this."
Wang Shan¡¯s reminder made Zhao Hongyu¡¯s heart tremble! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
