Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1067, kill the chicken to warn the monkey

In Xishi, the capital city, the Ming court would place it here when important prisoners were executed (it was in Xisi Archway in the Ming Dynasty, and later moved to Caishikou outside Xuanwu Gate in the Qing Dynasty).

Before noon, the execution ground was already surrounded by crowds of people, and there were too many melon-eating people who seemed to have nothing to do. It is human nature to love to watch the excitement.

Of course, the more important thing is that this time, the imperial court will execute more than a hundred people, all of whom are barbarians from Europe. Such a large-scale execution of foreigners is very rare.

What's more, in the past few years, Emperor Hongzhi has been lightly taxed and reduced various criminal laws. Generally, as long as it is not a heinous crime, he will not be sentenced to death. Most of them are exiled to the Golden Continent or Australia. , It has been a long time since criminals were executed here in Xishi.

So it immediately attracted a large number of young and old who had nothing to do to come here to join in the fun.

Inside the dungeon, Archbishop Leo in red was seeing off Clementine and the others with the food and wine bought from the restaurant.

"Clementing, have a taste of the delicious food and bar of Daming. They are all brought from the best Moon Tower in the capital of Daming."

Leo looked at Clementine and the others in front of him, and sighed helplessly.

"It's all my incompetence, there is no way to save you out."

"The Ming Empire is too domineering. We came from afar to represent the Holy See. They executed our envoys on such a large scale. This doesn't take our Holy See seriously."

Adrian, who came to see Clementine and others off together, couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"Naturally, the Ming Empire didn't take us seriously."

"Their emperor didn't even see me. Not only did he not give us any explanation on the Hong Kong issue, but he also strictly prohibited us from preaching in Daming. Even you are unwilling to forgive me."

"Who knew that child would be their Daming's crown prince."

Leo stood up helplessly. The Holy See of Rome today is no longer the Holy See of Rome in the Middle Ages, although it still has a huge influence on European countries.

But the Holy See can no longer organize European countries to form a powerful army to conquer anyone. Now the kings of European countries are working on religious reforms to get rid of the control of the Holy See.

This has greatly reduced the power and influence of the Holy See, which is why the current Pope Julius II is committed to building an army that has always only obeyed the Pope.

Of course, once you come to Ming Dynasty, you will understand how powerful Ming Dynasty is. Even if the Holy See is under the glory of the Middle Ages, it is afraid that it is far from the opponent of the Ming Empire.

The Ottoman Empire, which suppressed the entire European world, was beaten all over the place by the Ming Empire and had to sign a humiliating treaty. How can their Holy See be any better?

The three once glorious knights, the Knights Templar have been wiped out by the French, and the Teutonic Knights and Hospitallers have lost their original glory under the blow of the Ottoman Empire.

With the decline of the three major knight orders, there is also the spirit of chivalry in Europe. Without powerful knights, what will they use to fight against the Ming people?
They couldn't even recover the holy land of Jerusalem, let alone compare with the Ming Empire.

"Haha~ Daming's wine is good, but it's the wine that misses my hometown."

Knowing that he was bound to die, Clementine gulped and drank heavily.

"I will report this matter to His Majesty the Pope, and he will definitely give you justice. You will not die in Daming in vain."

"The Lord will also see what you have done, and you will go to heaven after you die!"

Leo looked at the people in front of him, they all belonged to him and came to Daming.

Along the way, they have trekked through mountains and rivers and traveled thousands of miles. They came with ideals and missions.

With the mission of spreading the light of the Lord to the far east, but now he just died here.

Thinking of this, Leo felt that he was so useless that he couldn't even save his subordinates.

"It's time, it's time to hit the road~"

At this moment, there was a ruthless voice from the jailer in the dungeon, and soon groups of Ming troops came to take Clementine and others to the West Market.

Here at Xishi Execution Ground, there are three cabinet elders, six ministers, and ministers all in place. In addition, the imperial court also invited ambassadors from Korea, Japan, Luzon, Siam, Chenla, Persia, Spain and other countries to Ming Dynasty, as well as some foreign ministers. Important personnel from the Chamber of Commerce came to watch.

The officials of Daming were all expressionless. It is absolutely unforgivable that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daming was threatened and cursed at the feet of the Emperor.

As the saying goes, the master humiliates his ministers to death, and those of them who are courtiers naturally have to have such an awareness.

As for the envoys of various countries, they whispered to each other incomprehensibly.

"What does the Ming court mean?"

"It's just the execution of some barbarians from Europe. Is it worth such a big battle?"

"Look, the elders of the three cabinets, the ministers of the official department, the ministers, etc. are all here, and any one of them is an important minister of Ming Dynasty."

"I don't know either. I heard that it was because these European barbarians threatened and cursed His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty. The Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, Longyan, was furious, so he ordered the execution of more than a hundred European barbarians at once."

"You don't know, these people are all from the Holy See, they are envoys sent by the Pope to Daming, but because they don't understand the rules of Ming, they brought weapons into the capital of Ming on a large scale, and the key is to face His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Light up your weapons, isn't this courting death?"

"I don't even look at where this is. This is Daming. It's not the turn of those European barbarians to act wild."

"That is, it is said that European barbarians are barbaric and do not know etiquette. It seems to be true."

"This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty has such a noble status, how could he be threatened by others, and even dare to curse the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, he should be killed, everyone should be killed."

The envoy of North Korea and Shi Chen of Wa State sat together, chatting non-stop, so that envoys from other countries around them couldn't help casting contemptuous glances at the two of them.

Now who doesn’t know that North Korea and Wa Kingdom are the most important henchmen of Ming Dynasty, these two countries are now almost becoming Korea Province and Wa Kingdom Province of Daming, almost everything is learned from Daming, everyone speaks Daming dialect and writes about Ming Dynasty character, change Daming's name.

Naturally, the Koreans and Wa people now look down on people from other countries just like the Ming people. They are all barbarians and barbarians, ignorant of education and etiquette. Except for the Ming people, they don’t take anyone seriously .

"The Ming Empire is going to make an example of others."

"Yeah, killing more than a hundred people from the Holy See at once, and inviting us to watch, what else can this be if it's not killing for us to see?"

"These European barbarians are indeed defiant. They even dared to use their swords in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The key is that they happened to be facing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty."

"It's better for us to be more careful. We will go back and restrain the people of our respective countries. Be honest in Daming. It's fine if we die in Daming. Don't implicate our country."

"Da Ming has been worrying that he can't find a reason to go to war recently. Their navy is patrolling all the oceans, but they can't find an enemy to go to war."

"Yes, yes, the previous war reparations have not been paid. If the Ming Empire is provoked again, it will really be over."

The ambassadors from these countries in the Nanyang region were also discussing in low voices.

Although they are not as good as the Koreans and Japanese, they are still learning from Daming now. They feel that the East is the center of world civilization, and they look down on Europeans to some extent. They call Europeans barbarians. At the same time, they also respect Daming very much. I was scared.

"Oh, what an idiot~"

"How dare you show your sword against the prince of Daming, and even curse the prince of Daming. There is only one prince in the Ming Empire, and there is no way to plead for mercy."

"There are more than a hundred people, and they can be killed as soon as they say it. The Ming Empire is too domineering."

"But there is no way. The Ming Empire has a domineering strength. In the future, we will still have to rely on the Ming Empire to maintain our status as the number one power in Europe."

The ambassador from Spain looked at Clementine and others who were escorted to the guillotine, and couldn't help shaking his head helplessly. He also pleaded with the Ming Empire on behalf of Spain, but the Ming court didn't even bother him. He can't help it either.

"Criminals Clementine, Paul, Innocent, and others entered the Imperial Palace with weapons privately, and threatened and cursed the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. This is an unforgivable crime and must be executed!"

Fu Han, Minister of Rites who was in charge of execution, looked at the time, stood up and began to read the crimes of Clementine and others.

"Chop! Chop!"

When the surrounding Daming people heard this, they couldn't help shouting angrily.

After the daily publicity and reports of the Ming Dynasty Morning Post, coupled with the great efforts of the Son of Heaven, and the fact that the Ming Dynasty has become more and more prosperous over the years, the lives of ordinary people have become better and better.

The reputation of the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty among the people is also getting higher and higher, especially Emperor Hongzhi. Countless people of the Ming Dynasty enshrined the tablet of Emperor Hongzhi at home. As for the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, he also gained a good reputation because he invented several agricultural machinery one after another. .

Of course, the most important thing is the pride of the Ming people. Daming is the most powerful empire in the world, sweeping across the world, with a vast territory, rich people and strong people. They look down on the barbarians everywhere.

Now these barbarians from Europe dare to threaten and curse His Royal Highness the Ming Crown Prince, they must die!
"cut!"

Fu Han picked up the token, looked at the sun in the sky, and dropped the token coldly.

"Crack~"

As the token fell to the ground, cold lights flashed one after another, and heads flew up one after another. More than a hundred people including Clementine were all beheaded. All foreigners who came to watch now firmly remember this scene.
