There was a raging war here in Andal, with the Spaniards and the English fighting non-stop.
In Hong Kong, the most southwestern part of the British Isles, there are also undercurrents surging beneath the bustling surface.
In a simple church, many local indigenous people came here to worship and thank God for allowing them to live a prosperous life.
"God's people~"
"You are devout believers and the most loyal people of God~"
"The life you have today is all given to you by God."
"But now, these hateful Ming people are heretics and heretics. They don't believe in God. They don't even allow us to build a church here."
"They should all go to hell and accept the most severe punishment. They should be put on a cross and burned alive with fire!"
When everyone was about to disperse after praying, the priest began to deliver his speech.
Because Tian Erniu killed the original archbishop of Cornwall and canceled many of the privileges of the church in Hong Kong, the lives of these missionaries plummeted. Therefore, these missionaries have been secretly encouraging these believers to oppose the Ming Dynasty.
, opposed to the Ming Dynasty’s rule here.
Of course, this was done secretly in the past. If the Ming Dynasty knew about it, they would definitely be killed. For this reason, dozens of clergymen were executed.
But now, they have received instructions from the Holy See and Henry VII to cooperate with the people sent to Hong Kong by Henry VII to incite the people in Hong Kong to riot, overthrow the rule of the Ming people here, and drive the Ming people out of Hong Kong.
.
Therefore, he also stood up publicly and tried his best to incite people's emotions here.
After hearing the priest's words, everyone seemed confused.
To be honest, the rule of the Ming Dynasty is quite good. At least, they no longer need to pay high taxes as before. Moreover, the development of Hong Kong has given them more job opportunities, increased income, and cheaper prices.
, the tax will be lower.
Many local people have built new houses, have enough food to eat, and wear clean and decent clothes. Their lives are much better than before.
Moreover, the Ming people were not strict with them. As long as they did not rebel or make trouble, they would basically not interfere in any of your affairs. Therefore, everyone did not object to the rule of the Ming people. Many people even felt that compared to the rule of the King of England,
The rule of the Emperor of Heaven made them feel like they were living like human beings.
But now, this priest openly criticized the Ming Dynasty and the rule of the Governor of Hong Kong, which made these local people feel confused and at a loss.
"The lost lambs~"
"Don't be afraid, God is with you all the time!"
"Pick up the weapons in your hands, stand up bravely, overthrow the heretical rule, and drive out all these Ming people. Cornwall is Cornwall that belongs to us Celts!"
"The great King of England has organized a powerful army and will be here soon. When the time comes, we will cooperate internally and externally, and we will be able to successfully defeat these Ming people."
"And His Majesty the Great Pope, he has conveyed the Lord's will to us. All those who do not believe in God are heretics and heretics and should be burned to death!"
The priest continued to encourage.
In the church, the ignorant people began to waver, and some people started shouting. Soon, bursts of voices could be heard throughout the church.
When Tom listened to Shinhwa's words, he couldn't help but frown.
He was extremely sober at this moment, and he clearly knew that something terrible was about to happen here.
And all of this will most likely have a huge impact on your life.
He thought about the past, when he was a fisherman, and he went out to sea to fish in a broken boat every day. He risked his life, caught a little fish, and had to hand over a large sum to the king and the church.
In the end, what little was left was enough for the family to survive on the most unpalatable horse bread and black bread.
The family lived in a dilapidated house. During the rainy season, the roads were muddy and the house was like mud. Their children were crying from hunger, but they couldn't afford to buy food. His wife wanted to
I want a piece of clothing, but I can never afford it.
Days like that were something he could never forget in his life.
Think about the happy life now. He has enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and even his children can go to the school run by the Ming Dynasty. He also saved money and started to build his own beautiful house. He even thought about it.
Wait until the house is built, and then like the people of Ming Dynasty, they can take in several concubines.
"No~no~"
"I will never go back to the old days!"
"I will never allow anyone to ruin my current life."
Tom's heart became determined.
Soon, he slipped away quietly and quickly came to the Governor's Mansion to inform the Governor's Mansion.
In the Governor's Mansion, Jiang Liang is watching the news coming from all sides.
The Portuguese and the French were already at war with Spain on land. Spain was fighting on both sides and was under great pressure for a while. Even the military strength supporting Andal was weakened.
Spain's ally, the Holy Roman Empire, is also unable to protect itself. The powerful Ottoman Empire army has already reached Vienna. Hungary is about to be destroyed. The Habsburg family is facing a huge crisis.
There was no way to attack France as agreed to contain the French forces, which increased the pressure on the Spanish and once again formed the situation two years ago, with one against three.
"In this situation, if we don't intervene, the Spaniards won't be able to take advantage, and they will most likely be defeated."
"However, the year before last, the Spaniards were able to persist for nearly a year. This time, the Portuguese and English were severely weakened, and Spain's strength has increased. I am afraid that it will be difficult for the three countries to win Spain."
Jiang Liang thought carefully, Spain is a very important chess piece, an extremely important chess piece for the Ming Dynasty's European strategy.
"Sir, someone just came to report~"
"It is said that someone locally is inciting the local indigenous people to resist our Ming rule. It is very likely that riots will occur in the near future."
At this time, someone hurriedly walked in and reported to Jiang Liang the unusual movements in Hong Kong.
"Well, I know!"
Jiang Liang nodded slightly.
Looking at the documents placed on the table, he knocked on the table and pondered.
In the past few days, he has mentioned a lot of similar information.
Many of the local indigenous people in Hong Kong were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and they clearly reported many undercurrents.
"The Holy See~"
"Henry VII!"
"Humph, you are still very young when you play this with us Ming people."
Jiang Liang quickly laughed. To be honest, he didn't take these locals seriously at all. As long as they were obedient, he didn't mind killing them if they didn't.
In this place far away from the Ming Dynasty, if you want to maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty, you must use both kindness and power. Let these local natives know how powerful the Ming people are, and know that you can live a good life by following the Ming people, but that you will die if you go against the Ming Dynasty.
"It seems that some people have forgotten what life they lived in the past, and they still want to eat horse bread with Henry VII. This is a good life that has gone too long, and you are looking for misery."
"That's good, it just happens to scare the monkeys!"
Jiang Liang smiled and knocked on the table lightly.
"Henry VII didn't have much strength, but he had great ambitions. He was indeed a descendant of pirates. He had the character of a robber in his genes."
"Wait to be taken care of by the Spaniards~"
"Well, it seems that it would be better for the British island to be divided into pieces. Those big nobles must like this very much. Henry VII should have been killed directly last time."
Soon, Jiang Liang's eyes were set on the map of the British Isles. The small island itself was split into several pieces, and it seemed that it would be nothing if it were split further.
"There is also the Holy See. When the Ottoman Empire's army reaches Rome, I will see if the Holy See still has the heart to cause trouble for our Ming Dynasty."
"There are also the Tatars of the Crimean Khanate. Perhaps we should continue to support them and let them continue to plunder Eastern Europe and relieve some pressure on the Ottoman Empire."
Thinking of this, Jiang Liang quickly picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Nanyun Province, asking them to increase their support for the Crimean Khanate and appropriately reduce the pressure on the Ottoman Empire.
To deal with the Europeans, it is best for the Europeans to do it themselves.
As for the Ming people themselves, it is best to watch the show on the sidelines and sell arms and weapons.
After writing the letter quickly, he also wrote a memorial to be sent back to the Ming Dynasty, describing the situation here, and also clearly describing his own coping strategies and methods.
Hong Kong is far away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty. He has extremely high autonomy and can decide many things first and later.
"Immediately send an order to the Hong Kong garrison to impose military control on all parts of Hong Kong!"
"Order the police officers and police officers in the garrison and government offices to work together to arrest all the rioters. When the time comes, I will execute them all!"
Then Jiang Liang quickly issued a new order.
Quickly deploy the Ming troops stationed here in Hong Kong to suppress and respond to all possible riots.
As Jiang Liang's orders were quickly issued, the entire garrison in Hong Kong quickly moved into action to block various traffic arteries.
The police officers and the Ming army quickly divided the areas one by one, and then swept towards the secret gathering places with great precision.
Suddenly, the whole of Hong Kong became trembling. Some people didn't know what was going on, some were running away in panic, and some were extremely frightened. But soon, the Governor's Office of Hong Kong quickly sent people to post notices everywhere, using loudspeakers and other methods to inform everyone.
what's going on.
Let everyone not be afraid and actively cooperate with the work of the Governor's Mansion to catch the rats.
