Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

The hell out of cheating Manzi, Emperor Chongzhen had a rare good night's sleep. It wasn't until the next day that he received the information from Wu Sangui and Li Hongji that Emperor Chongzhen recovered from the joy of cheating Manzi. .

Chapter 8 Kneeling is about to kneel!

Cui Lu had never been to sea before, and this time she was sent out across the ocean to be canonized as the pope. It was Cui Lu who had proved her strength with practical actions before she snatched the opportunity——as an outstanding graduate of Beijing Normal University, Cui Lu Surprised to find that apart from my classmates who also graduated from Beijing Normal University, none of the colleagues in the Ministry of Rites can fight!

The Ministry of Rites used to be the most insignificant yamen. Except for the spring and autumn, there are not many things that the Ministry of Rites can intervene in. In the past, there were a lot of countries coming to court, and a large number of envoys from vassal states wanted to go to Beijing to worship the emperor. What about now?

Things like North Korea, Cochin, and Burma have all become a chief envoy of Ming Dynasty, and there is a fart vassal state?

Japan, the only country that has not become an inner vassal, is now like going crazy. It is almost looking up to Daming inside and out, and the whole thing is that it regards itself as the illegitimate child of Daming who is living outside.

Countries like Tang, Qing, Qin, Liao, and Shen were real vassal states, but they were managed by the clan's government, and the envoys of these vassal states did not have the name of envoys, and were actually managed by the Ministry of Officials.

Moreover, today's emperor doesn't have much interest in offering sacrifices to the heavens, enshrining Zen, and so on. Apart from constantly fighting to expand the territory, only the common people can make the emperor care about him.

This time, she managed to grab the opportunity to go to sea to canonize the Pope. For Cui Lu, she is simply a braggart who can brag for a long time, from this life to the next.

From the moment she boarded the ship at Tianjin Port, Cui Lu began the journey of vomiting, and she didn't feel better until she passed Luzon Port.

Spit, spit, I'm used to it, so it doesn't matter if I get seasick or not.

But when Cui Lu got off the boat, a new problem started again—no matter how she walked, she felt that the ground was shaking, even if she changed to a carriage, she would still feel dizzy from the shaking.

The journey was very peaceful, no dead men appeared to assassinate Cui Lu, and no army dared to come forward to intercept Cui Lu and her party. It seemed that all the Europeans had accepted their fate.

Even the Holy See, which should be the most noisy, has calmed down strangely.

Innocent X was originally known as the most ineffective Pope, so when Innocent, Addison and others attended the dinner of Emperor Chongzhen, they brought back the news that the Pope had to accept the canonization of the Ming Empire before he could take office After that, the Holy See exploded.

Countless cardinals who did not go with them were completely angry. After a series of connections, they publicly challenged Innocent X at a formal meeting of the Holy See.

Either Innocent X resigned and got out of the Pope's throne, or he reorganized the Crusaders and the three major knight orders, and then declared war on the Ming Empire.

As for Europe, which is now in a mess, all issues can be put aside for the time being, and the discussion can be discussed after the issue of whether the Pope needs the canonization of Ming Dynasty is resolved.

Innocent X, who was sitting high on the pope's throne, didn't speak at all, but just quietly listened to the bishops arguing.

Addison and the other archbishops in red who went to the Emperor Chongzhen's dinner together with Innocent also did not speak.

Innocent, Addison and others had already got a hint of the wind, knowing that these red-clothed archbishops were secretly connecting, but they didn't know what they were connecting.

Now I finally know, but Innocent X, Addison and others did not stand up to stop these people in the first place, but let them continue to quarrel, it is right to watch a show.

After arguing for a long time and seeing no reaction from Innocent, the archbishops in red clothes who were arguing slowly subsided - even if it was aimed at Innocent, Innocent had to react.

Like Innocent X who completely ignores everyone now, just sitting quietly in a chair in a daze, even if the opponents shout their throats, what's the use?

Seeing that the rambunctious cardinals fell silent, Innocent X said calmly, "It's all over? Don't quarrel, right? Then I have a few words to say.

Now, I solemnly make a promise to you: If anyone of you thinks that you can lead the Crusaders that no longer exist, defeat the Ming army on the battlefield, or force the Ming army to retreat, then the position of the Pope, I can let him sit.

If not, then please shut up and stop arguing with such nonsense in the future, because it is a meaningless waste of time! "

crusader?The early Crusaders may still be a bit worth seeing. As for the later ones, there are also the three major knight orders created by the Crusaders.

Especially after the Ninth Eastern Expedition, the entire Crusaders and the three major knights basically sang coolly. Now it has basically become impossible to reorganize the Crusaders and the three major knights.

First of all, the Holy See can't afford such a large fee, even if the sales of indulgences and magic medicines are skyrocketing.

Because there are so many people, no matter how huge the benefits are divided layer by layer, there are not many left to be implemented.

Without money, what would you use to form the Crusaders and the Three Great Knights?

Simply shouting slogans could still be used hundreds of years ago, but now the whole of Europe is in chaos. All the princes and states have long been separated from the Holy See. Who else will support the Holy See before forming an army?

Haven't suffered enough before?

After glancing at the red-clothed archbishops present, Innocent X continued: "Where are the Crusaders? Where are the three major knight orders? Where are they now?

One mouthful is rejection. Do you know what consequences rejection will bring to the Holy See?You haven't seen Daming's army, but Addison and I have.

To put it bluntly, even when the Crusaders and the three major knight orders were at their peak, they would definitely not be able to survive even half a day under the attack of the Ming Empire army.

Now that the Crusaders and the three major knight orders are gone, are you still thinking about rejecting the canonization of the Emperor of the Ming Empire?Do you want to be called by the Lord so soon? "

Seeing that many people still had the same expression on their faces, Innocent X simply rubbed his forehead and said, "Since you are still unwilling, then it's easy to do.

After you go back today, pack up your things and go to the army of the Holy Roman Empire to stay for a while, or you can also go to the occupied area of ​​the Ming Empire to take a look.

Especially the people of the Ming Empire, you can see their belief in the Ming Empire and their emperor from their faces.

The fact that you guys are able to sit here and quarrel has proved that you are not an idiot——about the records about the Crusaders and the three major knight orders, you can guess how much is true and how much is false.

If you really can't figure it out, I can open the most secret library of the Holy See for you to take a look and see what your so-called Crusaders and the three major knight orders look like.

Then, compare the army of the Holy Roman Empire with the army of the Ming Empire, and you will have a deep understanding of what is called the army and discipline.

Think about it, when the Whip of God was raging in Europe, when the Mongolian army was raging in Europe, what was the situation in Europe?Has anyone organized an army capable of fighting them?

no?However, the current Ming army is definitely more terrifying than the original God's Whip and the Mongolian army! "

Innocent X spoke from his heart.

Others may not be very clear, but after looking through the most confidential records of the Holy See, the kind of information that only the popes of the past can read, Innocent is very clear about the virtues of the Crusaders.

If the early Crusaders could still talk about the two concepts of military discipline and military organization, the later Crusaders were not even comparable to a group of bandits.

What's more, now that there are no unreliable crusaders and the three major knight orders, what's the point of talking about those who have them?

As for the position of pope, before Da Ming intervened in Europe, it might still be a sought-after throne, but now that Da Ming is obviously going to intervene in Europe, the position of pope at this time is definitely not a good thing.

Seeing that all the archbishops in red were silent, Innocent X sneered and said, "Why? No one wants to sit on the Pope's throne?"

Addison sat not far from Innocent X, looking at these quail-like cardinals, he also sneered in his heart.

They really should go to that dinner party together. It would be better if a few more blind people would jump out, just like me at that time, and clearly stated that they would fight against the Ming Empire. — This way the Holy See will be much quieter, right?

Addison, who likes fencing, is different from other cardinals in red. He neither has those messy mistresses, nor is he too interested in silver coins and magic medicine.

Addison will never forget where the little duke of the Ming Dynasty pointed the sword point when he danced the sword—there were about a dozen chances, as long as the little duke of the Ming country gently handed the tip of the sword forward ten times. A few centimeters away, I and Innocent X will never return to the Holy See.

Not to mention listening to these rubbish people chatting about these useless nonsense here.

What Addison couldn't forget even more was the extremely calm expressions of Emperor Chongzhen and other Ming generals.

They didn't seem to worry at all that the little duke would kill themselves and Innocent X, as if the two of them were insignificant cats and dogs, and they would kill them casually.

It would be fine if it meant that the Chinese people had discussed this possibility early on, and that’s why they were so indifferent. However, it was completely improvised when he jumped out to disrupt the situation, and the astonished expressions on the faces of the Ming people could not be faked—this is the most important thing. scary.
