- Caribbean Sea
With the surrender of the Dutch colonial governor, everything here has been controlled by the empire.
At this point, the empire¡¯s tentacles began to reach Central America.
It can be said that now, two-thirds of the entire American continent has become Zhao Hongyu's possession.
Such a territory would be very large in later generations.
It is conceivable that in the history textbooks of various countries in the future, the behemoth Song Empire will definitely exist.
But this is not enough.
Because South America is not yet under the control of the empire.
When South America is mastered, the empire's territory will become even larger.
"It's a pity that Zhao Hongyu doesn't have a large population under his command now, so if he wants to completely control the entire American continent, he will have to cultivate genetic people honestly for a long time.
With the overall situation in the Caribbean Sea having been decided, Zhao Hongyu had very good news in his heart.
Today in the American continent, he has no rivals.
In the future, the empire will be able to fight its enemies outside its borders.
But for Zhao Hongyu, there are still many things in the country that need to be resolved.
First of all, population is a big problem.
Subsequently, there is also the infiltration of the church, which is also something that needs to be paid attention to.
It can be said that it is completely impossible for Zhao Hongyu to relax now.
But fortunately, he has Zhang Tie and Wang Shan who can help him share his worries. Otherwise, these two things alone would give him a headache and two big problems.
With the execution of the priests and priests who stirred up the trouble, the afterglow of the riots is still echoing in the hearts of the people of the empire.
Especially during the public trial, the judge¡¯s questions and the performance of the priests and priests completely shocked the European workers.
Even now, they continue to recall the scene at that time and think deeply about it.
It was at this time that a new sect emerged.
This sect is different from the church forces in Europe. Their slogan is to let the world understand where they come from. And tell the world what God is, and what kind of existence the world of gods is like.
In short, this is a very gossipy organization.
And this organization has many fanatical believers.
At the same time, unlike European churches, I heard that there are real artifacts and miracles in this organization.
But after watching it, people who don¡¯t believe it will become confused when they come back.
Everything is developing smoothly as Zhao Hongyu imagined and planned, and the emergence of Jiejiao has not encountered any obstacles.
What Zhao Hongyu has to do now is to wait for the arrival of spring. Then after the new warship is launched, it can set off for the east.
What would this ancient Eastern country be like in the Ming Dynasty in 1622?
The beauty of Jinling, the customs of Qinhuai, the thin horse of Yangzhou Ahem, Zhao Hongyu also wanted to experience it for himself and see it.
After all, he has come to this era, right?
Anyway, if you have a traveling mentality, it doesn¡¯t hurt to take a look.
After the riots ended, Zhao Hongyu also led Sarah to the manor of the Samuel widows after some time passed.
Because of Wang Shan and Zhang Tie¡¯s reminder. Zhao Hongyu felt it was necessary to talk to these women.
By the way, let¡¯s find out their views on the church.
Because these women, if you don¡¯t understand their attitude in advance and communicate with them clearly.
¡°Then these women will definitely be targeted by the church in the future and then used by it.
One hundred high-spirited Imperial Guards. A large black carriage pulled by four black horses galloped on the wide cement road.
In the compartment of the carriage, Zhao Hongyu was wearing an expensive black otter fur coat, sitting there warmly.
Opposite him. Sarah is also dressed in a black fur coat.
"What do you think of the church?"
At this time, the carriage has not arrived at its destination, so use this time on the road. Zhao Hongyu needs to communicate with Sarah in advance and find out her attitude towards the church.
After all, compared to the women in the Samuel family, Sara is the person closest to him.
Her goals are bigger than those widows.
At the same time, church personnel will also pay more attention to her existence.
It can be said that if church organizations revive in the future, women like Sarah will inevitably become the targets of those churches.
Because the effect of having such a believer is stronger than having thousands of ordinary believers.
Looking at the thoughtful face of her beloved little man, Sara blinked.
She is a very smart woman. She can figure out why her little man wants to ask herself this question after just a little thinking.
Therefore, she replied: "Strictly speaking, the purpose and starting point of the church are good. After all, they guide people to do good. But those who control the church now are selfish people, and what they do is For my own selfish reasons, so I don¡¯t have a good impression of the church.¡±
After Sara thought about it for a moment, she expressed her opinion to Zhao Hongyu.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s expression remained unchanged.
"Is that the only way?"
¡°Obviously, Zhao Hongyu was not very satisfied with Sara¡¯s answer.
But Sarah smiled indifferently and continued: "Since thirty years ago, Europe began to hunt witches. Do you know how many innocent women the church burned or hung to death for this?"
Zhao Hongyu was stunned. He didn¡¯t know why Sarah mentioned this matter.
However, when Sarah mentioned such a topic, Zhao Hongyu seemed to have vaguely heard such a thing.
Historically, there have indeed been many vigorous campaigns to ¡°kill witches¡± in Europe.
Behind these actions, there are more important purposes and ugly reasons.
¡°The ¡®Witch Killing¡¯ operation started in this era started in 1590 and lasted until 1630.
In just forty years, as many as one million innocent women have been wrongly accused.
And after being caught, almost none of these women survived.
Basically, they were burned or hanged.
The ferocity of Europeans is evident.
The reason why Zhao Hongyu knew about this and had an impression of this period of history was because he had seen an introduction to this aspect of history in a book.
?If it ends in 1630 according to history. So it's only 1622 now, and the witch's killing behavior is exactly in the stage of sexual intercourse.
Sara continued talking to herself: "Nowadays, land annexation is serious in Europe. Nobles, lords, big landowners and businessmen have concentrated all the wealth in their own hands. The church has also used various means to amass wealth. . Coupled with the epidemic of various diseases in Europe, the people are in dire straits."
"In order to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the people, the church came forward and said that it was because some people used witchcraft and signed a contract with Satan in hell and sold their souls. This made the world miserable."
"With such an excuse, those nobles, lords, big landowners and businessmen can find excuses for their actions, right? In this way, innocent and weak women become targets of attack , has become a group for people to vent their anger.¡±
Before Sarah met Zhao Hongyu, she had been living in Europe.
And she is still a noble.
So, she knows something about the dark side of these things.
Even though it is impossible to know in such detail, it does not prevent her from inferring from some clues.
"You know what? Anyone in Europe can become a witch. Because the church has a whistle-blower system, many people will go to the church to whistle-blow."
When Sarah said this, her eyes suddenly became deep.
Sarah¡¯s gaze made Zhao Hongyu feel uncomfortable.
Because he can see it. Sarah feels bad now.
"Some of these whistleblowers are very simple. Often they propose marriage or express their love to a woman they like, but after being rejected, these people will go to the church to whistleblow, falsely accusing the woman of being a witch."
"After accepting this kind of information, the church will quickly send people to capture the woman and torture her severely. Under such torture, no confession can be obtained."
Hear this. Zhao Hongyu also nodded.
He knows all too well the power of torture to extract confessions.
To be honest, under a severe punishment, you can make any kind of confession you want.
Not to mention that they are dealing with some women.
"You know, in Europe, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to be falsely accused of being a witch.The bigger they are, because they will also have their own favorite people, so they will reject many suitors. Therefore, those who are rejected by them will destroy these women. "
When Sarah said these words, her expression did not fluctuate much.
¡°But Zhao Hongyu felt a gloomy feeling from Sara¡¯s words.
It is simply unfortunate for women to live in Europe in this era.
Especially those beautiful and talented women.
With women like this, how could they not be proud?
" However, if they are talented, they will definitely look down on ordinary people, and they will also offend others because of their pride.
¡°The only way to offend someone is to be framed as a witch and then executed.
For witches, as long as they obtain the confession they need, the church's approach is to execute them.
¡°At least until now, no woman who has been falsely accused has survived.
It can be seen how sad it is for those beautiful and talented women who were born in such an era.
Sara paused for a moment, and after seeing Zhao Hongyu also showing a look of concern, she continued to say in a faint tone: "You know, more often than not, those beautiful girls are framed and caught in the Inquisition. Wait. What they suffered was inhumane abuse and humiliation by the priests and lackeys."
Zhao Hongyu actually knows without thinking what kind of treatment a beautiful girl will receive when she enters that place.
Those priests were all sanctimonious guys.
Those beautiful girls entered that place, and they were like sheep in the tiger's mouth. The priests could play with them however they wanted.
It is not surprising that all kinds of perverted and humiliating methods are used on these beautiful girls who are usually superior.
Because these guys themselves have some perverted psychology, especially those in the Inquisition.
Zhao Hongyu even maliciously imagined that those guys in the Inquisition had the church win over all the psychopaths in Europe.
Those girls are locked up here, and there is absolutely no need to think about what will happen to them.
¡°I have a friend, she is the daughter of a small French aristocrat, and she has a very high musical talent¡± Sara said about what happened to a good friend of hers. "Because she refused a priest's advances, she was framed as a witch and imprisoned in the inquisition of that diocese."
When Sarah said this, she sighed, then looked at Zhao Hongyu and said, "Can you imagine the scenes of inhuman abuse she suffered?"
Zhao Hongyu nodded, but did not speak.
Sarah continued: "Those seemingly kind-hearted priests torture people in ways you can't even imagine. There are also all kinds of strange instruments that will amaze you. I can't imagine why a person can torture a person at all. Such a beautiful woman could be capable of such cruelty and abuse."
As a later generation, Zhao Hongyu certainly knows this.
After all, various torture instruments of European churches have also been circulated on the Internet.
Those instruments of torture make people tremble just by looking at the pictures.
"What happened to your friend in the end?"
Although he could guess the ending of Sara¡¯s friend, Zhao Hongyu couldn¡¯t help but ask.
"She committed suicide. She was a proud person and she committed suicide because she didn't want to suffer that kind of abuse."
Sarah¡¯s eyes were filled with mist.
"Actually, before she chose to commit suicide, she had already suffered unbearable torture. Now when I think about that priest, I still feel scared."
Sarah folded her hands on her chest, as if she had thought of something terrible.
Zhao Hongyu sat over and hugged Sara.
Sara¡¯s body was trembling now, and it could be seen that she was really thinking about the past, which made her feel scared.
Hey is pitiful, now she is not in Europe, but she is still so scared when she mentioned the church and friends.
It can be seen that the church is really a terrifying existence.
But things like Sarah¡¯s friend still happen all the time in Europe.
¡°Perhaps, it can only be explained by comparing Europeans with psychological abnormalities Zhao Hongyu thought to himself.
"Don't be afraid, I am always by your side. This is America, not Europe, and the church will not have an inch of soil here in America."
Sara turned her head sharply, looked at Zhao Hongyu and said seriously: "Actually, I support you from the bottom of my heart in not letting the church come to America, because if they come to America and settle here, they will have absolutely no control over the empire. It¡¯s a little bit of benefit, but it¡¯s also a disaster for the people.¡±
This can be regarded as Sara showing her feelings to Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu finally understood Sara¡¯s attitude.
For this reason, Zhao Hongyu felt relieved. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go to read.) - Didn't finish reading?
