Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1178
In the eyes of religious believers, these words are too weird and shocking. Even Spain, which is the most missionary, and Portugal, which is involved in the Macau issue, did not directly refute Liu Yu's evaluation of the Holy See and the Jesuits.

The Age of Enlightenment means the disintegration of "Tianxia" and the birth of nation-states.

This world is not only the world of the Confucian circle, but also the world of the Christian circle.

Who enlightens, who disintegrates.

The relationship between religious power, political power, country, and the world is a real interest.

What is the most organized organization in the world at this time?
Actually, the Jesuits.

More than 3 members.

Formal militarized organizational management.

Bottom-up organizational structure.

Systematic education received since childhood.

To join the club, you must make an oath of absolute wealth, absolute beauty, and absolute wish.

Talent training systems and organizational structures across countries.

In order to preach, from the snowy land to the tropical rainforest of South America.

In some places where guns have never been colonized, these Jesuits have taken root there for a hundred years and really built the Indian Kingdom of Paraguay, which seriously hindered the colonial expansion, enslavement and plunder of Spain and Portugal.

They were able to run to Japan despite Japan's ban on religion; they were able to go deep into Sichuan and other places at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and organize tens of thousands of people;

They could also try the king; publicly satirize the king's mistresses; interfere in the selection of ministers in Spain; control the Portuguese education system.

There were even muskets, leading South American Indians and Spanish colonists to do it.

How terrible.

The rise of kingship in various countries is trying to find something similar to domesticated Confucianism instead of Confucianism.Rather than a group of organization, belief, knowledge, militarized organization, pleasure in suffering, and interference in the political power of various countries, a group of things similar to some pre-Qin schools.

These things are really scary.

The religious reactionary utopian society of thought, the extremely advanced organization technique, and such a monster produced by kneading are really the biggest enemy of the royal powers of various countries and the enlighteners of all countries.

Let's just say that they made that thing in Paraguay, after seeing the holy library and the field mu system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they would all lament that they were conservative.

In short, France was not interested in the Jesuits and the Holy See.

As for Portugal and Spain, on the issue of colonial rule in South America, they were indeed frightened by the Jesuits' creation of the Kingdom of Paraguay.

In order to be able to preach in South America, the Jesuits paid a poll tax of one peso to the local Indians, and then obtained a missionary charter.

After going deep into the rainforest, they did a few things.

Build a school.

Cultivate land.

Plant tea - yerba mate, not Chinese tea.

Teach handwork.

Engage in the militia.

Create language.

engage in trade.

Because the Indians in South America are relatively backward, the concept of private ownership is not particularly deep.

Therefore, it is easy to guess what the Jesus will do in South America.

Textile cooperatives, planting cooperatives, animal husbandry cooperatives, collective labor system, income equalization system, income public construction expenditure, etc.

Of course they also pay money to the Holy See...because they control the trade.

Compared with the enslaved South American Indians in other places, the group of South American Indians in the Kingdom of Paraguay must be stronger than those who worked as cattle and horses in the colonies.

Compared with the predatory colonialism of Spain and Portugal in South America, the sustainable developmental colonization of the Jesuits should be said to be much higher than that of Spain and Portugal.

To say that they are reactionary is compared to Dashun, which has already had the dawn of the industrial revolution, and compared to the situation in Spain and Portugal.And some things that are extremely reactionary in Dashun at this time are a kind of progress in South America.

The Jesuits strictly forbade other Europeans to enter their kingdom of God, and the developed agriculture and handicrafts, and the huge profits made the Spaniards and Portuguese very jealous.

The Society of Jesus itself is a paramilitary organization, and the official title of the president is "general", not a religious title.

Tens of thousands of organized South American Indians have guns, are organized, have their own income, have foreign trade industries, have village economy... and even have the Guarani language created by the Jesuits.

In fact, the prototype of a modern state has already emerged.

This is also one of the internal reasons why Paraguay, with 55 people, dared to fight against the Triple Alliance of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, and was able to fight until the last 3 men and 12 women were not destroyed. The rudiment of the nation-state was as early as a hundred years ago has appeared.

At this time, the problem facing Spain and Portugal was that in the colonial dispute, the two countries had secretly made a deal to divide this area controlled by the Jesuits.

And itself, Spain is also greedy for the trade and handicraft products here, as well as the developed agriculture.

Therefore, the war between Paraguay and Spain and Portugal actually started last year.

Historically, this anti-colonial war lasted for 18 years. In the end, the Holy See sold out the place and disbanded the Society of Jesus in exchange for the promise of Spain and Portugal not to withdraw from the Holy See.

The Indians who resisted here were either killed or all fled into the mountains and forests, completely deserted.

This war was only anti-colonial in nature, but it was not a war of national liberation against colonization, because the Indians did not ultimately dominate, and it did not end up being a War of Independence in Paraguay, but a war between the Holy See colony and the In the colonial war in the Spanish colonies, the Jesuit missionaries eventually betrayed the Indians.

Religion may not have a motherland.

But there are missionaries.

The tragedy of the Guarani people is that they lack a long history and a national stage in which civilization can develop itself.

Otherwise, such an accumulation like Dashun really has such a start-tens of thousands of people with grass-roots organizations, a basically qualified economic foundation, and hatred for Europeans-a group of ambitious people with historical accumulation can really seize power , self-reliance, and a wave of pushing Spain into the sea to establish a country.

At this time, Dashun directed his criticism directly at the Holy See and the Society of Jesus, and gave the Society of Jesus a final evaluation, which made it impossible for Spain and Portugal to express their direct opposition.

What Liu Yu is doing now is tantamount to directly intensifying the conflict between the Holy See and Spain and Portugal.

There is no need for intensification on the French side. The rise of the Enlightenment school, the proliferation of Gaulism, and general dissatisfaction with the church, as well as the "seven deadly sins" between the French king and the French king's mistress, are already very uncomfortable.

Liu Yu wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to directly demolish the Holy See.

What is a Holy See without Spain, Portugal, France, Naples, Palpa, and Sicily?
When the religions of various countries are under the management of the government and the king, Dashun will face much less pressure to be preached.

On the one hand, if these countries don’t give money, the Holy See will have no money. How can we teach without money?
On the other hand, even if these countries compromise with the Holy See, the most peaceful result would be to disband professional missionary organizations like the Society of Jesus. Without professional missionary organizations, the pressure on Dashun would be greatly relieved.

This time, Dashun chose the most extreme method of expulsion, and the reason did not include the "Chinese etiquette issue" at all, because the group of people in the Holy See had a flexible bottom line. If one day they found something from the Mongolian era and said that Chinese etiquette was okay, it would be troublesome up.

It's better to just tear your face apart and don't give them the opportunity to preach flexibly at all.

The reason for expulsion is that one is no longer progressive but reactionary; the other is that the religious power interferes with the political power, which is never allowed.

Now that Europe is full of China fever, China fever can not only bring advantages in trade and luxury goods, but also bring the leading role of the heaviest crown.

Is the Holy See necessary?
Can countries learn from Dashun and create their own religious management institutions?
Because Dashun is rich and easily defeated the Netherlands, all policies of Dashun are correct. Is there a logical connection?

This kind of thinking that requires the brain is more difficult.Most people have the mentality of admiring the strong, thinking that the strong must be right, and this is a factor that can be used.

Of course, this time Liu Yu wants to directly dismantle the Holy See, with two allies in total.

One is the aforementioned royal forces in various countries. The regime hopes to control the religious power, and it is best to separate church and state, so as to strengthen the centralization of power.

Another ally is the Enlightenment forces that have permeated Europe at this time.

Enlightenment forces are definitely anti-Jesuits, and they are also anti-Holy See.

The time Liu Yu chose to demolish the Holy See is also a disgusting blood-eating steamed bun, which is the upcoming earthquake in Lisbon with a magnitude of about 8.5.

The way he eats human blood steamed buns is not to engage in such things as condemnation from heaven, induction between heaven and man, and early warning from heaven.

In fact, some rumors of "Minke" and "Scientology" have begun to spread around Europe.

These pamphlets are being effectively circulated in enlightenment circles.

Are comets and earthquakes related?
There should be none.

With the addition of complex mathematical symbol calculations, strange formulas that cannot be understood at all, gravitational calculations, tidal nonsense, etc., can it matter?
Then you can have it, anyway, it’s just editing.

In short, the core of the compilation is: this is a natural phenomenon, which can be calculated or predicted through science and mathematics, and has nothing to do with gods and heavens.

An important reason why people can eat human blood in this way, accelerate enlightenment, and even directly dismantle the Holy See is the "optimism" pervading the Enlightenment at this time.

Not the literal optimism.

The characteristic naive optimism of the Enlightenment is a special concept, which belongs to the characteristics of the times.

Roughly how to understand it is the conclusion of some satirical philosophers after the earthquake in Lisbon:
【The (earthquake) serves the good of the whole, not the individual.The descendants of the dead can improve their fate; the masons will earn more money in the reconstruction of the earthquake; the wild beasts can eat the corpses buried under the ruins; the living will know how to deal with disasters in the future... In short, This is the inevitable cause and the inevitable result.Your own misfortune is nothing, for it contributes to the good of the whole...]

This trend of thought, as a whole, comes from Leibniz.

Leibniz's philosophically optimistic explanation of "if God is good, why is there evil in the world".

Namely: God created and arranged this world by virtue of reason, and the highest purpose of reason is goodness. The result of strictly following this purpose is that the existing real world is the best world.Under the complicated formula, this is the best possible result...

And this earthquake also led to the final and most radical model: a series of radical actions such as the Temple of Reason, the destruction of the Four Olds in France, the smashing of churches, and the destruction of priests.

Philosophers can say that, saying that "the whole serves the good."

But in the face of real disasters, ruins, death, pain, blood, and despair, no one can accept this optimistic and overall good explanation of the world.The so-called "God loves the world" goodness, optimistic reality is the best result, etc., will be completely out of the game along with this earthquake.

Reality is no longer the best, then reality can be broken.
