"The First Battlefield?" Hearing this strange noun, Wu Ling murmured softly.

"That's right, it's the first battlefield. Although the church promotes the spirit of equality of all beings, no matter how loud the slogan is, it must have strong strength to support it. If you want to defeat the other party in spirit, the easiest way is to eliminate the other party from **!" Chen Changqing said.

I have to admit that Chen Changqing's words are part of the truth in the whole world.

No matter how beautiful or powerful your spirit is, if you eliminate your body, then everything will be meaningless. Just like the current Holy See, it promotes peace and equality of all beings, but under this concept, there is endless sin.

The Holy See is a monotheistic religion. The believers who convert to it are not allowed to believe in any gods except God, and other idol worship are not allowed. Therefore, conflicts between the spread of the Holy See and the original religious beliefs are inevitable! In the 1st to 3rd century AD, the Holy See and the local political power in Europe was in the hands of those who believe in "local gods". Therefore, this conflict of faith must have to withstand the test of violence under the influence of power. This is why a large number of Holy See and the local believers were detained and were *****. "The prisons in Rome were once again filled with Christian prisoners, and those who sacrificed for Christ, blood flowed into a river."

However, the Holy See took root in Europe, in addition to relying on the patience of the Holy See's disciples and the price of blood, there is another way, which is to use swords and swords to force the locals to convert to Christ. "All the worlds in Northwest Europe were a battlefield of fierce conflict between old and new beliefs in the 9th century. All these countries converted to the Holy See under the sword." Although Christians at this time became the culprits, the blood was the same. War and killing were always spreading with the Holy See...

There is no doubt that from the 1st century AD to the 10th century AD, the spread of the Holy See on the European continent was a very complex and bloody process!

Naturally, if you want to become a great church, these growth processes are inevitable. No matter how beautiful things look, there is always an unknown ugliness on the side behind it. The growth of the Holy See is naturally the same. The reason why Shueisha strongly resists the Holy See is more because of the Crusaders in the Holy See.

This is a very noble violent organization within the Holy See, the Crusader, a group that gained a lot of faith within the Holy See, but from the beginning, it represented blood and violence.

In 1099 AD, the first crusaders captured the holy city - Jerusalem. After they captured the city, they did not reflect on their own sins, but instead the God-selected people of the Great City - Jews and Muslims, historians estimated that more than 30,000 people were killed.

In 14 AD, the fourth Crusader suddenly attacked Constantinople, the center of the Orthodox Church. The defenders were not prepared and were captured by ten defenders. According to a person who had participated in this great battle, the streets were covered with corpses and blood, countless classics were burned, and many holy objects were plundered. The incident caused the population of Constantinople to drop from one million to 60,000. After this battle, the Eastern Roman Empire declined.

If you use one thing to describe the crusaders, it is a locust! On the land where blood flows into rivers, only civilization stagnates! In addition to the organized killing of the crusades, witch hunting began to be popular in Europe in the 15th century! The so-called witches are the 15th century quarter days. The bishops suffered the witches during their hunting of witches and were charged with witches. To put it bluntly, they are fake witches. The church calls witches Satan’s servants and even wives. The purpose is to eliminate dissidents and put their "God" power on everyone's heads. Among these victims, more than 90% of them are victims. They may not be real witches. They may just go to their homes to pick wild flowers or something, or they are lucky enough to live near their homes and someone is sick. The woman will be inexplicably charged with being a witch who casts spells and harms people. Their methods are very tragic, and the most well-known is stolen. In fact, these women are not real witches. They are just "forced" to call witches. In that era when knowledge was still ignorant, they could not prove their innocence and became victims of religion... The witch hunting was the last in the late 15th century, but even in the 18th century, you can still see the burning of witches...

The existence of the Crusaders was a means of expansion by the Holy See, but because of the bloody means, they have never had a good reputation. But tools are always tools, and they can expand their own power. Even if they are a little bloody, it is not impossible.

After all, this world is such a realistic existence. He will not see the corpse behind him, but will only see the glory of successful people. The Holy See is naturally the same. Their methods may not be very bright, and even when they grow up in the early stages, they still seem more cruel than the devil, but he still grows up. Even to the largest organization in the world, ordinary people will naturally choose to forget some history for such existence.

The same is true for China. If possible, they wouldn't really want to be enemies with such an organization. After all, the mental power consumed by wanting to be enemies with such a huge force is definitely huge, but this is indeed a war that cannot be resolved. In addition to the reasons for disagreement of ideas, more of it is actually a kind of feud.

One of the fuses of the Second Opium War was the incident of Father Malay, who was also known as Mahosto, a priest of the foreign missionary church in Paris, France. The Huangpu Treaty signed by France forcing the Qing Dynasty to stipulate that French missionaries could preach at five trading ports in China, but were not allowed to enter the mainland privately. In 1852, Mahosla infiltrated into the mainland of China without authorization and activities, and in 1855, Xilin County, a remote area in western Guangxi to conduct illegal missionary activities. During missionary, Mahoslau destroyed local customs, colluded with corrupt officials and robbers, and left behind bad records. .Guangxi is recorded in many historical archives. Ma Lai regards the customs of worshiping ancestors as heresy, and strictly orders baptized believers to demolish the ancestral tablets in their homes, and prohibits visiting graves to worship ancestors. It also stipulates that believers and their children must marry believers, which has caused many family and clan disputes. In order to expand the power of the church, Ma Lai has repeatedly sneaked to Guizhou to establish relations with bandits on the border between local believers and Guizhou-Guangxi, and used them to expand his power, and to influence local gentlemen and officials. In order to buy bandits for their own life, Ma Lai bribed local officials and forcibly interfered in the judiciary, and acquitted the murderer Lin.

The masses in Xilin Ding An and other places revealed that Ma Lai violated the precepts of the heavens. The bishop often brought a young and beautiful widow, Cao, to preach, in name, to help spread the gospel, but in fact he was his mistress. In addition, Ma also tried every means to join the church, and often scattered with these women alone. When the believers got married, he would hold a marriage mass, and he took this opportunity to wipe out the bride. In 1856, due to Ma Lai's various evil deeds, he sued him to the government and the new magistrate Zhang Mingfeng impartially enforced the law and executed Ma Lai. This is the famous "Xilin lesson plan" in history. France colluded with Britain to launch the Second Opium War to invade China, causing deeper disasters to the Chinese people.

Since then, the Holy See became the direct fuse of invasion. Starting from Matteo Ricci, the ideal of the Holy See to China has been passed down from generation to generation. Since the Qing Dynasty, from Kangxi to Daoguang, the fifth generation ban on religion, to the mid-19th century, under the cover of the strong and cannon calendar, missionaries began to enter China in large numbers. In 1844, Emperor Daoguang was forced to lift the missionary ban. Soon, large-scale missionary activities seriously hindered the interests of the people of the Chinese people, and even saw churches several times in the world. By the end of the 19th century, more than 500 preaching stations were spread across the countryside of various provinces and villages in China. Finally, a massive anti-foreign church movement broke out. In the summer of 1900, the churches in the capital were almost burned to pieces. The Eight-Nation Alliance used this as an excuse to invade Yanjing, which was the darkest humiliating event in modern Chinese history!

Although the darkest era in China cannot be regarded as the cause of the Holy See, all this also has the shadow of the other party. Especially at the beginning, Western superpowers once carried out the largest invasion of the superpower world of China under the leadership of the Holy See.

"As a real-world national organization, if we are really strong, the Heavenly Palace, the Holy See and others may be so arrogant? Now the strongest level in our organization has been tripped by the people in the Heavenly Palace. Not to mention that we are a small municipal branch, or provincial capital branch, have been taken over. In the eyes of those people, we are just a joke of a group of mobs gathering." A hint of unwillingness flashed in Chen Changqing's eyes.

"What should be the specific reason for this state machine?" Wu Ling thought about it.

"Well, the battle between the superpower world and the Holy See has been going on for thousands of years and has never stopped. From the past between the wizards and witches, the devil and the judges, to the current superpowers and religions and countries have to rely on superpowers to fight against the religious side. The real world national forces of China were defeated by foreign alliances in the late Qing Dynasty. Now they are just emerging organizations that have been rebuilt, and their foundations and powers are far inferior to other countries and organizations."

"What is the highest combat power level in our club?" Wu Ling asked suddenly.

"**" Chen Changqing lowered his head sadly, "If this is not the case, who dares to be so arrogant on our country's land?"

"I roughly know the situation." Wu Ling fell silent and stopped talking. (To be continued.)
