The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 167 Luo Wenzao

Lao Liu didn't know if his son was good at studying.

But since the family owns a restaurant, my son has been eating well since childhood, and has a tall and strong body.

It's a good material for being a soldier!
Master Jia said.

"That's natural!"

"The conditions for conscription by the military government and the benefits for soldiers are all public. Who can cheat?"

"Our chief governor is a member of the Great Ming clan of the King of Chu, and a descendant of the great grandfather. In the future, we will follow the example of the great grandfather to drive out the Tartars and restore China."

"The leading soldiers recruited by the Restoration Army will fight against the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers on the battlefield in the future."

"Anyone who dares to cheat on the treatment of the army will have his head chopped off!!"

Master Jia stroked his beard and said.

As a literati, he naturally has no good impression of the army.

The reason why the treatment of the army is advocated on such occasions is because this is a political task assigned by the military government.

All the official duties of the military government must make way for the recruiting work!
All officials must publicize the treatment given to the army by the military government as much as possible to facilitate the army's recruitment.

……

Luo Wenzao sat in the corner of the breakfast shop, gurgling, eating a large bowl of hot soybean milk with added sugar, with a comfortable expression on his face.

Hong Mao ate too much bread and milk, and found that the fried dough sticks with soy milk were still more comfortable to eat.

He is a native of Fujian. He lived in poverty when he was a child. He received relief from the Catholic Church in his youth and was baptized into the Catholic Church when he grew up.

In the first half of his life, he came to Manila several times to raise missionary funds for the Macau church.

He really didn't expect that when he came this time, Manila would be different!
The invincible Spaniards were defeated by the Allied Forces of the Restoration Army and Guo Xingye. After the Restoration Army took control of Manila, they not only renamed Manila to Luzon, but also ordered the demolition of all churches in the entire Luzon Island.

Arrest all Spanish and Chinese priests!
Heavy taxes were imposed on Catholics in Luzon in retaliation for the heavy taxes that the Spaniards had levied on non-believing Chinese.

For a while, under the deliberate targeting of the military government, a large number of Chinese chose to quit teaching.

For decades, the achievements of missionary work established by the Spaniards by means of butcher knives were instantly wiped out in the face of the power of the Restoration Army.

Luzon Island, the largest gathering place for Catholics in the Far East, changed color instantly!
Luo Wenzao was terrified. He was a devout Catholic, but in front of the shining butcher knife, he suddenly found that his faith was not firm.

At least he did not dare to speak out when the Restoration Army shot and killed Catholics, forcibly demolished the Manila Cathedral, and burned the cross of the Bible.

Just praying silently among the lively crowd watching!
If someone asked him if he felt sympathy for what happened to the Spaniards in Manila.

Luo Wenzao would spat at him without hesitation, sympathizing with the hammer.

The Spaniards massacred the Chinese living in Manila several times before, and after each massacre, there were corpses everywhere.

As a Ming man, Luo Wenzao saw his compatriots being massacred, how could he have a good impression of the Spaniards?

Now that the Spaniards have been liquidated by the Liberation Army, Luo Wenzao just feels they deserve it!
He just regrets that the Catholicism in Luzon was uprooted by Zhu Hongyu.

After breakfast, I paid for the meal.

Luo Wenzao tidied up his clothes and headed towards the government office of the military government.

He asked to see Zhu Hongyu, to intercede with Zhu Hongyu for the Catholics in Manila.

Let Zhu Hongyu understand that the Catholic Church is not evil, the truly evil and damned are the Spaniards!
……

Zhu Hongyu has just signed a plan concerning the military government's military expansion plan, and plans to build a camp for recruits near Weiyuan City.

A secretary came in to report.

"Governor, a Catholic priest from Macau who claims to be proficient in astronomy, geometry, mathematics, Arabic, Latin, and Spanish is asking to see him."

Zhu Hongyu raised his head, frowned obviously in displeasure, and then spoke.

"Catholic priest?"

"No, send it directly to the labor camp!"

Zhu Hongyu doesn't have a good impression of Catholicism at all.

Because they are really incompetent!
With the military government's clean-up work in Manila, including liquidating and judging criminals, demolishing churches, etc.

More and more shady things belonging to Catholicism have been dug out!

Those Catholic priests can't say that there are no good people, they can only say that good people are really scarce.

It can be said that the Restoration Army demolished so many Spanish churches, none of them were clean.

There is one or even several basements under each church. In each basement, there are many bones and poor children are suffering.

These missionary schools can be said to do all kinds of evil. Why can modern medicine develop so fast? These missionary schools have contributed a lot.

After Zhu Hongyu saw these shocking things, he immediately ordered that all the priests and nuns involved, no matter if they were Spanish or Chinese, be sent to contribute to the foundation of modern medicine.

It can be regarded as repaying the person in the same way as the person!
It can be said that Zhu Hongyu originally didn't like Catholicism, but now he hates Catholicism from the bottom of his heart.

The secretary reminded.

"Governor, that priest is here on behalf of the Frangji people from Macau!"

"If we send people directly to labor reform, I'm afraid it will be a bit bad!"

Zhu Hongyu put down the document in his hand, and then spoke.

"Forget it, let's bring someone in for a meeting!"

"The governor wants to see why this priest came to see the governor!"

The expression on Zhu Hongyu's face seemed to say directly, I am very annoying, don't suffer from me!

The secretary resigned respectfully, and then brought Luo Wenzao to Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu sat behind the desk, holding a teacup in his hand.

Due to the backlighting, when Luo Wenzao walked in from the outside, he saw Zhu Hongyu bathed in sunlight, looking sacred and solemn.

Especially Zhu Hongyu's eyes, the expression contained in them, made people dare not look directly at them.

"People of God, Messenger of God, Father Luo Wenzao of the Macau Church, pay homage to the Governor!"

Luo Wenzao saluted.

His movements are meticulous, making it impossible to find the slightest fault.
