In the 28th year of Chongzhen, which is the first month of 1655 AD, Bu Mige boarded a newly commissioned Zhenghe-class cruiser of the Ming Dynasty. After several months of sailing, he finally caught up with the main fleet of the navy in the Tyrrhenian waters of the Mediterranean Sea, and
Boarded the Zheng He ship and reunited with Chongzhen.
Bu Mige had already accepted the Chongzhen edict two years ago and became the head of Christianity.
At least in the Ming Dynasty, the theocratic power of Christianity had been subordinated to the imperial power of the secular emperor, and the pope was also renamed a patriarch, and every papal must accept the emperor's edict before succeeding to the throne.
Christian leaders also had to bow to the emperor when they saw him.
Bu Mige paid the highest respect to Chongzhen.
"His Majesty, the great conqueror of the Ming Dynasty, your servant, and the 240th patriarch of Christianity, would like to extend my highest greetings to you and warmly congratulate you on your arrival in the Mediterranean."
【In view of the general environment,
By claiming to be the 240th generation leader of Christianity, Bomig is expressing his inheritance and recognition of Western Christianity, because the current Pope Alexander VII is the 239th Pope of the West.
"Bu Mige, you arrived very timely." Chongzhen said with a smile.
"When the Army's 4th Division captures Rome, you can return home in glory."
Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night. Bu Mige has been looking forward to this day for a long, long time.
Bummig was eager to show Alexander VII and the bishops, priests and deacons of the Vatican how far he had promoted Christianity in the Eastern world.
In the Ming Empire, at least 300 million people already believed in Christianity.
Yes, the Ministry of Household Affairs has just conducted a census. The population of the Ming Dynasty is more than 209 million. If you include the population of Japanese islands, Korea and Nanyang, it must be more than 300 million.
Almost all of these 300 million people are believers in Christianity.
In this era, the total population of the world is only 5.6 billion.
This means that more than half of the world's population believes in Christianity.
What a great achievement this is? Christianity has never been so brilliant!
Of course, in addition to the believers of Christianity, the more than 300 million people of the Ming Dynasty are also believers of Buddhism and Taoism, but Bomige does not care, because Christianity is no longer a monotheistic religion.
At that moment, Bu Mig said excitedly, "I'm looking forward to this moment coming."
…
Fiumicino in 1655 was just a small fishing village.
Early that morning, the fishermen in the small fishing village got up early and were preparing to go fishing in their canoes. However, they were surprised to see a large number of large black boats suddenly appearing on the sea in the distance.
What's even more frightening is that these big black ships are still emitting black smoke.
Seeing this, these fishermen who had never seen the world were immediately frightened.
In the suffocating silence, no one knew which of the fishermen shouted, "Tear Dan, the devil Satan has sent his army to kill us, everyone, run away!"
The frightened fishermen fled in all directions.
What happened next seemed to confirm the fishermen's suspicions.
I saw these big black ships coming to the coast, and then they lowered the small boats one after another. Then groups of troops in different clothes walked down the gangway of the big black ships to the small boats, and then rowed straight to the small boats.
Here comes Fiumicino.
On the Lantern Festival in 1655, the 28th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the 4th Division of the Ming Army landed on the Apennine Peninsula.
The next day, which was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the 4th Army Division took a short rest in Fiumicino and then drove towards the city of Rome, less than fifty miles away.
…
News of an army from "Hell" landing at Fiumicino soon spread back to Rome.
After receiving the news, Pope Alexander VII and the cardinals, cardinal priests and cardinal deacons of the Holy See were all dumbfounded. Hell and Satan were just legends. How could they really send troops to attack the Holy See?
But soon, more and more definite
The news came back one after another, and no one could believe it.
"His Majesty the Pope, the situation has been confirmed." The cardinal who went to inquire about the news panicked and reported, "Yesterday morning, a fleet consisting of dozens of large black ships did arrive in Fiumicino, and an army descended from it.
, this army is about 20,000 to 20,000 strong, carrying hundreds of cannons, and is now heading towards Rome."
"Could it be the French or Spanish army?" Alexander VII still didn't believe it.
"Or the army of the Holy Roman Empire? No, the Holy Roman Empire will not fight against the Papal States."
"His Majesty the Pope, it is definitely not the French army, and it is unlikely to be the Spanish army." The cardinal thought for a moment and said, "It is very likely to be the Ottoman army."
"The Ottoman Empire's army?" Alexander VII said in astonishment, "Isn't this impossible?"
The main force of the Ottoman Empire is following Sultan Murad in a melee with the Safavid army on the Persian plateau. How can it be possible that the Ottoman Empire still has the strength to send troops to invade the Papal States? What's more, even if the Ottoman Empire really has the strength to send troops,
Shouldn't Constantinople, which was taken away by Ferdinand IV, should be recovered first?
The cardinal said, "But the flag that this army wears is the sun and moon flag, which is very similar to the so-and-so flag of a certain religion."
"At the end of the day?" Alexander was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurried back to his palace and took out a letter from a sealed cabinet that had never been shown to anyone.
This letter was sent back by Bu Mig.
Because the content of the letter was so deviant, Alexander VII never showed it publicly.
Alexander re-read the letter carefully, and sure enough, he saw that Boymig mentioned something in it: the flag of the Ming Empire used the sun and moon pattern, which was the Ming army!
At that moment, Alexander VII returned to the conference hall and said, "This is the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Empire in the East!"
"The Ming Dynasty?" The dozens of cardinals, cardinal priests and cardinal deacons who attended the meeting were all stunned. "The Ming Dynasty completely wiped out the Dutch expedition fleet and took away all the colonial strongholds of the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal in the East.
Empire? Also the country that was conquered by the Second Crusade?”
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It’s outrageous. The Western world has launched the Second Crusade. The coalition of the entire Western world is engaged in a massive war with the armies of the Ming Empire on the Central Asian battlefield.
In the decisive battle, under such conditions, the Ming Empire was actually able to send a navy across tens of thousands of miles of waterways and land in Rome? This is simply unimaginable!
"Your Majesty the Pope, this cannot be true, absolutely impossible! Impossible!"
"I don't believe it either. How could the Ming Empire send an expeditionary force to land in Rome?"
"Yes, there is at least 20,000 kilometers between Rome and the Ming Empire, so far!"
Dozens of cardinals, cardinal priests and cardinal deacons expressed doubts about this judgment. It was the first time that Pope Alexander's authority was questioned under such circumstances.
However, the cardinals' doubts were quickly interrupted by the roar of cannon.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!" Along with the continuous loud explosions, the cardinals sitting in the large conference hall felt that the ground under their feet was shaking violently, and the top of the conference hall was even covered with dirt.
Even the murals painted on the dome and the walls on both sides began to fall off, which was scary.
Soon a monk hurried in and reported, "His Majesty the Pope, Satan's army has reached the outside of Rome, and hundreds of cannons have been set up to begin bombarding Rome."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another loud explosion.
And this time the explosion was louder than before.
The noise generated after the explosion was also greater.
Even the dome of the conference hall collapsed with a loud bang.
However, a cannonball landed on the top of St. Peter's Cathedral. After the explosion, a corner of St. Peter's Cathedral instantly collapsed. Several cardinals and cardinal deacons underneath did not even have time to escape and were buried alive.
Alexander VII escaped from St. Peter's Basilica with the help of two young monks.
Then he ordered the cardinals accompanying him, "Quick, quick, send people to ask for help from the Principality of Tuscany, the Kingdom of Sicily and the Kingdom of Venice, and ask them to immediately send troops to support the Papal States, and also send out envoys."
Set off immediately for Paris, Vienna, Madrid, London and Lisbon, and ask all countries to send troops to help immediately!"
…
Outside Rome.
Wang Fuzhi personally came to Chongzhen and reported, "Your Majesty, hundreds of cavalry have just rushed out from several other city gates. Although our cavalry company of the 4th Division tried their best to intercept them, they were not able to completely stop them due to the small number.
Many Roman cavalry were allowed to escape, and it seems they were moving reinforcements."
Bu Mig said, "It doesn't matter. There are only some small principalities and free city-states on the Apennine Peninsula. The most powerful ones are Florence, Venice, Naples and other small principalities. They can send thousands of troops to the sky. With such a small force,
It’s not enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of your Army’s 4th Division.”
"Did you hear that?" Chongzhen said with a smile, "Just attack the city."
Wang Euzhi agreed and immediately went back to command the artillery to bombard the city of Rome.
Chongzhen asked Boymig again, "Bumig, if the artillery of the Army's 4th Division shells the city of Rome on such a large scale, it will inevitably cause damage to the buildings in the city. I am afraid that St. Petersburg Cathedral will also not be spared. Aren't you worried at all?
"
"Worried?" Bu Mige was stunned for a moment, then asked Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, what do I have to worry about?"
Chongzhen said, "Of course I am worried that the ancient buildings in the city will be blown up, such as the ancient Roman arena, temples and so on."
"Arenas and temples?" Bomig smiled and added, "These buildings were just rebuilt a hundred years ago, and they are not real historical monuments. Even if they were bombed, there would be nothing to regret."
"What, rebuilt?" Chongzhen said, "Isn't it a building from more than 1,600 years ago?"
"How can it be an ancient building from 1,600 years ago?" Bomig shook his head and said, "The Mediterranean is humid and windy. Even if it is a marble building, it has been weathered into disarray in four hundred years. How can it exist for a thousand years?"
Chongzhen thought about it and was relieved. The Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty was also made of marble.
In just four hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall has weathered and collapsed. It is really difficult to stand for thousands of years in the wind, rain, frost, snow and dew. This is true for simple single buildings or sculptures, let alone complex large stone buildings.
