Chapter 5 May [Reader Zhongquan Huang Jiarui Boqiu Happy Birthday]
Chen Mu felt that it was indeed not easy for Li Dan to go out to the sea.
The Catholic Church, the Buddhist temple, the Tianfei Temple, and his birth temple. In the small place of Haojing, his godson went out to worship all the gods with the most believers in the world.
Thanks for your hard work.
"The bishop doesn't have to worry about it. The church is built, so take me in and sit down?"
Chen Mu's interest in the church made Macau Bishop Canelo both excited and worried, but he could not refuse, so he had to invite Chen Mu into the church.
On the one hand, if Chen Mu, the leading senior official in the south of the empire, had a good impression of God, it would undoubtedly greatly help their missionary cause; but on the other hand, no one could forget that this was a villain who could order the church stone steps to pave the road.
Every Jesuit has undergone very strict tests, and they vow to be poor, chastity, and obedience. They are not afraid of life and death in order to promote the great cause of missionary overseas. Nothing in the world can defeat their firmness.
but.
There is everything, but when faced with Chen Mu, the villain who holds great power, Canelo only feels that this is the biggest test God gave him.
In St. Paul's Church, Chen Mu sat on a bench and looked up at the reliefs on the wall, the statue of the Holy Infant and the statue of the Virgin surrounded by angels and flowers. This ingenious art is magnificent and amazing.
He said to Canelo: "The bishop does not have to take Dan'er's affairs in his heart, nor does he have to be so narrow-minded. If God really has a spirit, he will protect Dan'er from threats overseas. Time will also let Dan'er understand who is the god he should truly believe in."
"When believers are confused, the bishop should not be harsh. Although Chen does not believe in your sects and gods, as you can see, Chen also respects your piety of not fearing life and death for faith. This is a character I do not have." Chen Mu's face was very serious and sincere, and extended his hand to Bishop Canelo and said, "The bishop has lived in our land for a long time. It should be understood that it is not that easy to preach on this land."
"Mr. Chen did not object to your missionary preaching, but it was actually the greatest help to you and the sect."
Canelo nodded solemnly. Although he was always unhappy with Chen Mu's greed and bully behavior, he could not deny this. If he was born in the West, he would be fired into jerky meat on a barbecue, if he wanted to, he could expel all the priests in just one sentence.
But he didn't.
Canelo thought this was the greatest help to them, and the old bishop nodded and said, "Dear General, I would like to offer you the highest respect for this."
The old man has learned Chinese well!
Chen Mu showed a look of praise again and nodded, "The Bishop doesn't need to thank me. Given that we have excellent cooperation experience, I hope to talk to all Portuguese people openly and honestly, and several soldiers have a share - I hope to know that the frequent provocations of Western barbarians in Luzon, and even made Chen go home on the wedding day by cannon. What do you think?"
The Spanish have angered this villain!
The sound of rustling quills was heard in the church. Chen Mu turned his head and saw that it was an old acquaintance Pingtu. Although he didn't know why he was still in Haojing, he looked at Pingtu, who was trembling with his hands because of his eyes. Chen Mu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, sir, continue recording."
Pingto nodded slightly and added a sentence to the record: It seems that time and going north have made General Chen more humble, but it still has not changed his war. At this moment, in St. Paul's Church, I have the honor to experience the beginning of a huge war...
"It has nothing to do with us!"
Perez, who deeply understands Chen Mu's nature, shouted and separated his relationship when he heard Chen Mu ask about this, saying, "When the Spanish pirates came to attack Haojing, I brought people to fire, our gunmen shot at them on the shore, and everyone witnessed it!"
Seeing Perez, who had gray hair and wrinkles on his face, anxiously expressed his opinion, General Chen was very relieved.
"The knights said it well, but I still have to correct your lord, that is not a pirate, that is the Spanish army, whose army entered the Lingdingyang, was a provocation to the emperor of our dynasty."
Chen Mu was very serious when he said this and stroked his chest: "Because he was in chaos in Guangdong, Chen, who was far away in the north, could not enjoy the wealth of the world. The emperor ordered me to go south. What I want to ask you is, when Chen counterattacks them, what will you plan, the Malacca, the Governor of India, and even your king behind you?"
"Your country is very close. Will you join hands..." Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed at his feet, saying, "You are all devout believers. In this place, no one should lie to me."
"Absolutely not!"
Perez clapped his hands on the bench, and looked carefully at the church elephant and said, "Our king started war against Fez in Morocco two years ago. He had sought help from Philip of Spain, but he did not join our war and delayed their marriage with the king. He was a treacherous man, and the gods would punish him!"
"Although we cannot make a decision on whether to fight, Portugal will not join the war between you and Spain, let alone join Spain!"
Bang!
Chen Mu clapped his hands and said happily: "Great! Since that's the case, please help me send a letter to Luzon, to their Governor General of Luzon, and let him surrender."
Um?
surrender?
Canero and Perez didn't turn around. In fact, the only one who came to attack Haojing was just a group of pirates. That was not a Spanish army at all. It seemed that they had started a war in General Chen's mind, but Spain's Luzon didn't think so!
There was no war, so why surrender!
"In view of his insult to my Haojing, he needs to compensate 100,000 taels of silver; he passes through Lingdingyang without authorization, and calculates twice in and out, each with 50,000 taels of each; he also stole seven cows from Tuen Mun. The cows are very precious animals in my Ming Dynasty. They are friends of farmers, so they have a total of 270,000 taels of silver. The journey is long, so they can reply to me within May."
After saying that, Chen Mu got up and nodded to the people, and added, "This church is so well built."
After taking everyone out of the church, Bai Yuanjie asked in confusion: "Since you have decided to start war, why wait until the winter begins? You know they will never agree."
"Winter, what winter is coming?" Chen Mu sneered, "We can't hide the matter of rectifying the troops here. They must be prepared when they see the warships. The May I mean this year. They understand it as five months, so I don't blame me."
Bai Yuanjie stared at each other and looked at Deng Zilong. It's already May!
"Jun-hyung, I'll send someone to invite Taoist priests and elixirs who practice Taoism, and we'll come to Tuen Mun. Let's practice Taoist temples. Just as I told the bishop, time will let Daner know who is the god of the faith, and so will the people."
"Who should they believe in?"
Chen Mu led the goose toward the port in all directions and sneered: "The Golden Dragon Ruyi is the True Lord of the Dragon Tiger Xuantan!"
