Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1065, catch them all
Hearing what Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin said, Clementine became even more annoyed.

I came to Daming to preach well, and I didn't provoke anyone, but I was disturbed by two young people. Many of them were already ready to join the church and became the first group of believers they developed.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as they have the first batch of believers, they can quickly gain a foothold and quickly expand their team of believers.

However, they were disturbed by these two people in front of them. As soon as these Ming people heard that they were no different from Buddhism, but also had to pay taxes, buy indulgences, etc., they immediately left cleanly.

This is true of people.

If it doesn't have much to do with him, he naturally doesn't care, but when it comes to tax collection, buying indulgences and other things that require his own money, he will immediately become nervous and sober.

To be honest, they didn’t intend to collect any tithes or sell indulgences on Daming’s side at the beginning. At the beginning, they mainly wanted to expand their team and scale, and let more people believe in religion. After reaching a certain scale After establishing the foundation, we will slowly implement some systems on the European side.

Daming is the most powerful and affluent country in the world today. If people in Daming can be made to believe in religion, then the tithe tax will be collected, which will be an extremely huge astronomical figure.

You must know that Daming's fiscal revenue exceeded hundreds of millions of taels of silver last year. If the entire Daming collected tithes, it could easily collect tens of millions of taels of silver.

This is also an important driving force for the Holy See to preach in Daming, and they have taken a fancy to the rich Daming.

It's all right now, it was messed up all of a sudden, and today's effort was in vain.

"You slander the clergy like this, you are going to hell~"

Clementine pointed at the two angrily and said.

"Bold!"

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin just smiled, but Liu Jin who was following Zhu Houzhao immediately scolded in a sharp voice.

"You still curse our young master like this, you are courting death!"

"Come on, tie him up~"

As soon as Liu Jin finished speaking, the palace guards around Zhu Houzhao quickly surrounded Zhu Houzhao one by one, and some people directly started to grab Clementine.

Seeing that Clementine was about to be arrested, Clementine's subordinates immediately panicked, and immediately gathered around to protect Clementine.

All of a sudden, swords were on the verge of breaking out, so that the lobby manager of Daming Royal Hotel came out in a hurry, and at the same time, he was also the one who asked people to notify the government immediately.

"You guys are so brave~"

"This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. You foreign monks dare to use weapons against us, the Ming people. You are looking for death."

Liu Jin looked at the people from the Holy See in front of him. Those who followed them to Daming were not only missionaries, but also knights from the Holy See.

At this time, these knights drew out their cross swords one by one, and looked at Zhu Houzhao and others vigilantly, because they showed their weapons, so that the guards around Zhu Houzhao became very nervous.

"What happened?"

At this time, Cardinal Leo and Cardinal Adrian, who received the news, also hurried out and asked Clementine in detail.

After asking clearly about the cause of the incident, he couldn't help frowning immediately, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, and immediately knew that there was trouble.

A person who can carry so many elite guards with him must be a noble person in Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao seem to be afraid that the world will not be chaotic. I am afraid this time it will be really troublesome. The next missionary plan in Daming had a great impact.

"These foreign monks actually brought so many weapons, and judging from the appearance of these people, it is obvious that they have all been strictly trained."

"Humph~"

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

"Nothing good."

Zhu Hou looked at the people in front of him, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"You two sons, next is the Cardinal Leo of the Holy See, this is Adrian, the Cardinal of the Holy See, and the two who have a little unpleasantness are our Cardinal Clementine of the Holy See."

"I don't know if we have offended the two young masters. If so, please forgive him for his mistakes."

Leo came to Zhu Houzhao and said very sincerely.

This is the first time to come to Daming, and you still can't offend the dignitaries of Daming, not to mention, the people of Daming are really not easy to mess with.

The Ottoman Empire only slaughtered a few small towns in the river area. As a result, Ming Dynasty issued [-] troops to attack the Ottoman Empire, marched all the way west, swept one side, slaughtered hundreds of cities and took bloody revenge.

Daming's powerful force is obvious to all. In the territory of Daming people, it's better to be honest.

He not only came to apologize to Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, but also asked his men to put away their weapons.

"You Cardinal Clementine just said we're going to hell."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"Young Master must have misunderstood. The two young masters look like noble people, extremely noble, and naturally they are also great kind people. Great kindness must be rewarded with kindness."

Leo is very smart, he resolves knots and never forgets to praise Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao.

"Tread~step~"

At this moment, there was a sound of orderly footsteps coming from far and near, and everyone hurriedly looked over, only to see groups of heavily armed Ming troops running towards them.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the hotel, they immediately protected Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin. The leader came to Zhu Houzhao's side and respectfully marched and saluted: "The late general rescued you, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"Well, it's free~"

Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction and waved his hands casually.

These are the guards of the capital, and it was Liu Jin who sent someone to ask for help after seeing the opponent's weapon.

If something happened to His Royal Highness, such as the loss of a vellus, no one would be able to bear it. Liu Jin was taken aback and rushed to ask for help.

"Surround them all~"

With a wave of Liu Jin's hand, Leo and the others were immediately surrounded.

Leo looked at the heavily armed Ming army in front of him, and his expression changed drastically. After all, he offended the true god. The other party could even mobilize the guards of the Ming capital.

"Two sons, two sons~"

"Please forgive me, please forgive me~"

Leo repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Humph~"

"Do you know the identities of the two in front of you?"

Liu Jin said in a cold voice.

"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and this is the Minister of Officials of the Ming Dynasty."

"Your Cardinal Clementine just said a curse that His Royal Highness and Lord Shangshu will go to hell."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, the faces of Leo, Adrian, Clementine and others changed drastically.

Before they came, they had already understood that the current Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Empire has only one son, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Who would have known that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daming was full and had nothing to do, so he came here, and his subordinates actually offended him.

They do know that Daming is not Europe. On Daming's side, the royal family has an incomparably noble status, and the status of members of the royal family is incomparably noble.

Anyone who dares to curse and abuse the emperor and prince of Ming Dynasty will be punished with capital punishment and will be punished by the three clans.

Clementine's complexion changed, thinking of Daming's criminal law, he even cursed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daming, now no one can save him.

There is also this young man next to him, he is actually the most legendary person in Daming, Liu Jin, the official secretary of Daming, has heard many legends about Liu Jin before coming to Daming.

Someone told them that if they wanted to do something on Daming's side, they would definitely be able to find Liu Jin. As long as he was willing to help, there was nothing that couldn't be done.

Leo was thinking of a way to meet this Liu Jin, but he didn't expect to meet him on such an occasion.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, Lord Shangshu~"

"Forgive us for offending you because we don't know Mount Tai with our eyes~"

After thinking for a while, Leo quickly expressed his opinion, and then said: "Please also see that this is our first visit to Ming Dynasty, and we don't understand the laws of Ming Dynasty."

"Please also see that we are the envoys sent by the Holy See to Daming, please forgive his sins."

"Humph~"

"In our Ming Dynasty, offending the emperor and the prince is a capital offense."

"And you even brought weapons into our Daming privately, this is also a capital offense."

"Come here, arrest this foreign monk who offended His Royal Highness, as well as these people carrying weapons."

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin didn't speak, but Liu Jin spoke in a sharp voice. Following his order, the surrounding Ming soldiers all lit up their weapons, pointed at Clementine and the others, and then quickly moved towards them. surrounded by the past.

These Holy See knights under Clementine wanted to resist, but Leo shook his head directly.

If he resists now, he will definitely be killed here on the spot. The opponent has more people than himself, and the weapons and equipment are better than his own. What's more, this is the capital of Ming Dynasty.

Leo's shaking of his head made them dare not resist, and they were all arrested by the Ming army. Only a few priests who had just come out without weapons were not arrested.

"Cardinal Leo, right?"

Liu Jin looked at Leo, smiled and asked.

"Master Shangshu~"

Leo smiled and nodded.

"You can go back to Europe now, remember to tell your Pope, if you dare to send people to our Ming Dynasty to preach in the future, I will lead the army to go to Europe, directly into your Vatican, and destroy all your churches. "

Liu Jin looked at the other party and said lightly.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Leo couldn't help staring at his own research immediately. He didn't expect that the Minister of the Ming Dynasty would be so opposed to the spread of Catholicism in Ming Dynasty.
