The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 169 Nature

Luo Wenzao's mouth trembled violently, and asked tremblingly.

"Governor, is this... are these true?"

Zhu Hongyu said with a sneer.

"What are you, worth my special preparation of these materials to deceive?"

Zhu Hongyu's words were very heartbreaking, but Luo Wenzao couldn't refute them.

Luo Wenzao was silent, but said with some disbelief.

"But...but, why didn't similar things happen in the churches in the Central Plains!"

Zhu Hongyu just said with a sneer.

"Not because they are civilized, but because we are strong enough!"

"Whether it's Da Ming or the Jianu who is now in control of the Central Plains, they are all powerful enough, not something a small church can provoke!"

"So, when they preach in the Central Plains, they can only and dare to use the means of grace, and use kindness and hypocrisy as a disguise to attract you ignorant people to join the religion."

"And in Nanyang, in other parts of the world, where there is no power stronger than them to guard, this is their way of preaching."

Zhu Hongyu pointed to the thick stack of files in Luo Wenzao's hands with his chin.

The fact is exactly what Zhu Hongyu said, the Ming court in the late Ming Dynasty was still very strong in the face of the western barbarians.

Although it has reached the end of the dynasty, the national power has declined seriously, and it is unable to intervene in Nanyang to punish the Spaniards who have slaughtered China in Manila.

But in my Ming Dynasty's own territory, those western barbarians didn't dare to jump.

In fact, this matter still belongs to Zheng Zhilong. This pirate leader defeated the Dutch and British fleets several times, so that they dare not underestimate the Ming Dynasty.

The mentality of Westerners is similar, Zheng Zhilong is so awesome as a pirate, how powerful should the navy of the Ming Dynasty be?
With no idea in their hearts, they naturally dare not be presumptuous!
For example, the Portuguese in Macau committed a crime and were punished by the magistrate taking off his pants.

The situation in the middle and early Qing Dynasty was almost the same!
Although there are a lot of rotten people in the Qing Dynasty, they are still upside down. The size is there, and the appearance still looks very majestic.

Before the British used a duck-slice war to shatter the aura of my Qing dynasty, and before exposing the fact that my Qing Dynasty was strong outside China.

I have the stature of the Qing Dynasty there, and no one in the West dares to make trouble.

At least they dare not do human experiments on Chinese children!

The officials and lords of my Qing Dynasty were not afraid of those barbarians from the West before the Duck War.

Well, for example, the Portuguese in Macau still have to be pulled out from time to time, take off their pants to hit the board!
Therefore, during the period between the end of the Ming Dynasty and the middle and early Qing Dynasty, the missionaries were all good babies.

They are all scholars who come to promote cultural exchanges between the East and the West, all are talents who are proficient in all kinds of Western learning, and all are great benevolent people who are dedicated to saving lives and healing the wounded.

But at the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the Duck War, the Qing Dynasty suffered from Oceanophobia.

Without the deterrence of the imperial court, the nature of these missionaries and Catholicism will be exposed!
Those endless teaching plans in the late Qing Dynasty are the most typical examples!
Luo Wenzao took a deep breath, took off his teaching robe, pulled off the cross around his neck, and a thick Bible, and threw them all on the ground in one breath.

Then he crazily kicked these things representing Catholicism on the ground, and then spit on these things.

How much he cherished these things before, how much he loathes them now.

Looking at these crosses and the Bible, he felt sick from the bottom of his heart.

"what……"

"Woooooooo..."

Luo Wenzao slumped down on the ground.

With his faith destroyed, he felt that everything was hopeless.

Zhu Hongyu looked at Luo Wenzao's performance, and the expression on his face softened a little.

Zhu Hongyu said in a soft voice.

"Don't be discouraged, the Catholic Church is not worth entrusting your life to, but the world might be better without the Catholic Church!"

"You can also do something else to realize your own life value!"

Luo Wenzao said with trembling lips.

"Students are willing to work for the military government to drive the evil Catholicism out of the Central Plains."

Zhu Hongyu nodded, and then handed over the translation of the book to Luo Wenzao.

"Although the Catholic Church is a group of barbarians, a group of scum and scum who do all kinds of evil, there are some merits in their culture."

"In astronomy, geometry, navigation, etc., they are indeed ahead of us!"

"The communication between the East and the West is the general trend now, and we cannot go against the trend!"

"For these intellectual cultures from the West, we must take the essence and discard the dross!"

"Their religious theology is the dross of the dross, and there are things we can learn from astronomy, navigation, geometry, and economics."

"It is a very important and meaningful thing to translate all the books we seized from Manila, to extract the essence and discard the dross!"

"Mr. Luo, I think you can do this job!"

Luo Wenzao did not hesitate, and decisively accepted Zhu Hongyu's appointment.

……

The battle against the aborigines went smoothly, and Li Guangyuan led his troops to return to the court with a large number of prisoners of war.

The arrival of these prisoners of war has greatly supplemented the military government's labor gap!
In this battle against the Pampanga people, not only a large number of prisoners of war were captured, but also a large number of captures were obtained.

Especially those buffaloes raised by the Pampanga people happened to be distributed for farming!

All the Pampanga people who participated in the Tu Hua massacre were screened out, and then they were put in prison, planning to bring these natives along with them when the Spaniards were publicly tried.

Zhu Hongyu once again convened a meeting of the generals of the Liberation Army, and issued combat orders for Spanish strongholds in Zamboanga, Palawan Island, Sulu and other places.

The Spaniards have a stronghold in the entire Luzon Islands, not just a Manila!

After the Restoration Army took Manila, many Spaniards chose to surrender to the Restoration Army, or simply fled the Luzon Islands by boat.

Fleeing to Batavia, Manila and other places!
However, there are still many people who choose to fight stubbornly in the stronghold.

Now that the Liberation Army has now withdrawn its hands, it will no longer leave those strongholds to the Spaniards.

Zhu Hongyu made a battle plan by himself, and wanted to pull out all those strongholds one by one.

……

The beginning of September in 1661 in the Western calendar.

After mobilizing troops to pull out all the Spaniards' strongholds in the Luzon Islands, Zhu Hongyu ordered a formal public trial of all the Spaniards in Manila.

In the entire Luzon Island, almost all the Chinese gathered in Weiyuan City, preparing to watch the public trial!
A high platform was erected on the site of the original Manila Cathedral.

The public trial meeting will be held here!

On this day, before dawn, the area around the high platform was full of Chinese people who came to watch the excitement.

On this day, rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and women's unwashed menstrual belts all became in short supply throughout Luzon.

The Chinese people love to watch the excitement, and it has never changed from ancient times to the present!

While everyone was waiting with great anticipation, Zhu Hongyu rode a tall horse out of the government office of the military government under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, and went straight to the high platform of the public trial.

Zhu Hongyu didn't have any airs, and waved his hands to greet the lively people on both sides of the road.

Enjoy the feeling of being watched!
