God and mystery

Chapter 459 The Son of God
There is a piece of sea from the southernmost point of Annan Land, which is the real southern sea. On the opposite side of the coast are the countries of Sarawak and Johor, which are located in the state of Borneo. The Franji people set up a stronghold here to control Trade in the Straits of Malacca.

And it was Zheng He's navy who controlled this place before.

The Ming Dynasty abandoned the garrison point in the Strait of Malacca for hundreds of years, until the Franji people traveled across the ocean to occupy it, and continued to develop. All goods, slaves, missionaries, and even the army from the West must Come here for supplies, peek at Annan from here to the northwest, peek at the South China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty from here to the northeast, and control Luzon from here to the east, and now the entire southern sea area is full of Franji people fleet.

Because the Dutch did big things.

Several maritime companies that control the trade here form the United East India Company, and the Netherlands, headed by the Netherlands, gives it a monopoly on shipping and trade. It has strong funds and allows it to have privileges such as arming, declaring war, making peace, occupying land, and building forts. .

The port is full of fleets. Apart from the real warships, there are also many merchant ships. These merchant ships are equipped with firearms. If a war breaks out, the merchant ships can be called up immediately and turned into inferior light warships.

After ruling the South China Sea, the next goal is to expand to the north. Decades ago, the Franji people and the Dutch tried to use naval warfare to open the door of the Ming Dynasty for forced trade, but the final result was repeated defeats. It can be turned into a peaceful transaction, but obviously, the Bugarao Cannon Factory has been completely acquired by the Ming Dynasty, which is another provocation to them.

The alliance of the companies was to deal with the actions of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Franji people believed that a huge empire would not be easily defeated, and the navy of the Ming Dynasty had just withdrawn from the Korean battlefield and experienced a war that lasted seven years. The quality of its soldiers has been greatly improved.

Moreover, the gods, monsters and ghosts in the South China Sea and the East Daming Sea will not cooperate with Westerners like them. To fight in this sea area, they need the help of Western gods, demons and ghosts. Will be swept by the wind and waves and capsized.

Moreover, due to the long-term war between the Ming Dynasty and Japan and the collapse of Osaka Castle, many Japanese pirates carried out sweeping activities towards the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty and Luzon in the South China Sea. Ming Dynasty coastal is a very necessary thing.

This time the East India Company dispatched a mighty warship, and the first place to arrive was Hao Jingao.

"Fajiao is an alliance with us. We can use their cover to carry out pre-war supplies at Haojingao. As long as we fight in the South China Sea, we have a great chance of winning. Except that Fajiao has those gods who control the sea , this time there are missionaries who are good at sea control to help us."

"We must take back the Bugarao Cannon Factory. The firearms produced here are the lifeblood of the entire East Ocean. Now they are controlled by the Ming Dynasty. This means that if we go to war with the Ming Dynasty, we will not be able to get supplies of powerful artillery."

Some large artillery can only be manufactured by the Bugarao Cannon Foundry. A huge factory can never be rebuilt after being given to others. It requires a lot of resources and time, and the distance from Xiyang is really far away. Thousands of miles away, once the large artillery is lost, there is no way to gain a foothold here.

The battleship was bumping on the sea, and soon saw the port of Haojingao, but the missionary on the battleship frowned slightly.

He felt that the power of God still existed on that land, but this feeling was slightly different from the God of the past.

Perhaps the apostles of St. Paul's College revised the content of the four Gospels in order to adapt to the environment in Middle-earth. For the new missionary site, they must be tolerant at the beginning, and the people in this land, It is difficult for them to serve Christ completely and wholeheartedly.

The missionary, who was wearing a dark blue robe that was the same color as the sea, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.People in this land are not easily bought by blessings and blessings. Their beliefs are so messy that ordinary small favors are only taken for granted by them, as if here, no matter what god you are , Only when you appear frequently can you be recognized by everyone, and everyone will believe you, but once you don't appear, everyone will leave you immediately.

The dignified Christianity is reduced to competing with the mountain spirits and wild ghosts wandering on the roadside for jobs, which is a shame for the big church.

Those mountain spirits and wild ghosts will also give you one-stop service, bless you and protect you for seven days. If you are not satisfied, you can return it and exchange it. The reward is only a piece of incense.
"For such things as package return and exchange, you need to find Frangji! I heard that the competition among the gods here was not so fierce before. When Frangji introduced artillery to the governor of the Ming Dynasty, he said no. If you are satisfied, you can also return and repair it, this matter is quite a big deal, how can anyone in Nanhai not know about it?"

"Okay, we're getting close to the port, put away the cannons, hang up the flags of merchant ships, cover everything that needs to be covered, and don't show any lies!"

While chatting with the missionaries, the captain of the battleship commanded the crew to work and camouflage the battleship. They sailed into the port slowly, and people from St. Paul's College came to greet them, but there were few familiar faces.

The missionary asked strangely: "Didn't the head of the Tzu Chi Chamber of Commerce come? Every time I return to this land, he will definitely come to me to do business. Now that the business has grown, he doesn't want to see me." Yet?"

There was a bit of yin and yang in his words, but the priest of St. Paul's College shook his head with a slightly sad expression:
"A few days ago, a fire suddenly broke out in the Tzu Chi Association. The strange thing is that all the children in foster care were safe, but the entire Tzu Chi Association was reduced to ashes. The head of the Chamber of Commerce and the others were all burned to death."

The missionary was stunned: "This is obviously caused by extraordinary power. How could it be possible to kill only businessmen and not children? Fire doesn't have eyes."

The pastor was also quite sad. After all, he was a major source of orphans on his side, but now they are gone, and he has to negotiate with another agency that adopts orphans, but there are not many such agencies in the south.

"There is no evidence, and no one will prosecute this matter, but we have submitted written materials to the Ming Dynasty officials. The chief envoy of Guangzhou is still that adult, and he has not resigned. He will favor us."

"Even if there is no result, I think St. Paul's College, as a brother institution of Tzu Chi, can get a lot of compensation. Moreover, many of those orphans are homeless in the south. The priests have proposed, Take those children to live in the academy."

The eyes of the missionary in the dark blue robe brightened:
"Well done, you guys are doing well."

And soon, people from the teachings of the Fa also came.

Lei Wang didn't show up, but let one of the other two immortals come here. When the leader approached, he saw that the other party was wearing dark blue clothes, and his face suddenly became exciting.

"It seems that the Westerners can't help it anymore. It must be because of the cannon factory that even people wearing this kind of clothing have come."

Just as no one in Taoism wears black Taoist clothes.

In Christianity, no one will wear the blue Christ suit.

Red clothes correspond to district bishops, while blue clothes
It means that he is the "Holy Son" of Christ in the world!
