Chapter 304 Is this a religious war? (Please order and vote)
When Zhao Fangji was assassinated, his ally French Minister Bourblon was watching Hong Xiuquan outside the Beiguan Yamen of Jianghai Customs in Shanghai. Hong Xuanjiao handed someone the "True Testament" and he had just received a copy. He opened it and found that
It's in Chinese and I can't understand it at all.
So I put it away first and prepared to hand it over to the priests in the Diocese of Nanjing who are proficient in Chinese after returning to translate the "True Testament" into French as soon as possible, and then combine it with the translations of the second volume of "The Prophets" and the first, second and third volumes of "Anti-Scripture"
Send them back to France together to show to His Majesty the Emperor
These three sets of books are really more explosive than the other!
When Hong Xiuquan was debating with Medus and Zhao Fangji just now, there was an interpreter from the French legation nearby who was interpreting in real time. Naturally, Bulbulon was extremely shocked!
The explanation of the children of God and the description of heaven in the "True Testament" are very reasonable. If you read the "True Testament" and the "Prophets" together, it will make even more sense!
After all, many of the prophecies in Book 1 of the Prophets have been verified!
There is at least one prophet or devil over there in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
With the endorsement of the prophet, the credibility of the "True Covenant" will be greatly enhanced. If the "True Covenant" itself is strict enough, in the conceivable future, Christianity may have a powerful "True Covenant"!
I don’t know if it is still feasible to incorporate the line of worshiping God by inviting a prophet to Rome to be the pope?
As for the French version of Volumes 1, 2 and 3 of the Anti-Classic, Bourblon has actually read it. It is very kind! It has a strong flavor of the French Revolution and the Revolution of 1848! If the three volumes of the Anti-Classic were spread to Europe, it would really
I wonder what the revolutionaries in Europe would think?
In short, the "Prophets" can strengthen the power of European Christian conservatives, the "True Testament" may cause a great schism in Christianity, and the "Apocrypha" will be used by European revolutionaries.
These three books are such that Bulbulon doesn’t even know what kind of monster he has encountered?
"Mr. Minister, Mr. Minister, what's wrong is that Bishop Zhao has been assassinated!"
When Bourblon was thinking about how to write a report to the French Emperor, a French exclamation suddenly came to his ears.
What? Zhao Fangji was assassinated? These damn British guys!
The truth immediately popped into Bourblon's mind - the Catholic Diocese of Nanjing is not like transparent glass to the British? No secrets can be hidden from them.
So the British must know about his secret meeting with Yang Xiuqing with Zhao Fangji, and maybe they also know the contents of the secret agreement he and Zhao Fangji made with Yang Xiuqing.
"Mr. Minister Zhao, Bishop Zhao was killed by people from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"
At this time, a priest from Dongjiadu Church rushed to Bulbulon and shouted to him.
At the same time, there were people shouting in English, French and Chinese outside the Beiguan Yamen of Jianghaiguan.
"It's killing people! The assassins of the God-Worship Society are killing people!"
"Bishop Zhao Fangji was killed by assassins from the God Worshipers Association!"
"Hurry up and arrest the leader of the God Worshiping Association."
Bulbulon's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly called to his guards: "Hurry, protect me and get out of here!"
He couldn't guarantee that the British would not take action against him!
"Oh, are you going to have a lesson plan?"
Hong Xiuquan also heard the shouts of people around him. At the same time, he also saw a few guys who looked like big foreigners, being surrounded by people and leaving in a hurry. He immediately knew what was going to happen?
Convince people with reason!
Of course, after explaining the theory, talk about physics. If you can’t explain the theory, it’s time to move on to physics. If you can’t win in physics, then go back to the backstage.
But Hong Xiuquan is not afraid of things getting serious now!
If the trouble gets bigger, Luo Yaoguo and Yang Xiuqing will come to wipe the mess!
"Heavenly King, it is dangerous here. Please go to the Yamen and take shelter temporarily."
At this time, Hong Xuanjiao had already finished handing out the "True Agreement" in his hand, then pulled out the "artifact of reasoning" - the M1851 revolver, and approached Hong Xiuquan.
Hong Xiuquan nodded with a smile, handed the last "True Testament" in his hand to a bearded foreigner, and then turned around and walked into the Jianghaiguan Beiguan Yamen with Hong Xuanjiao.
When he walked into the Yamen, Bian Sanniang had already jumped onto a square table with a peace knife in one hand and an M1851 revolver in the other. Then she fired two shots into the sky and shouted loudly: "Sisters, Heavenly Father. God bless us!"
Upon hearing the gunshots, the sisters from the Taiping Female Battalion immediately began to set up positions outside the Customs Yamen.
I saw them moving many tables, chairs and benches from the customs yamen like flying, and piling them up at the gate outside the yamen courtyard, forming a barricade. Then I saw many sisters moving from the 64-person rack placed in the yard. Many foreign guns were taken out of the large sedan and distributed. Soon, many female camp sisters were half-kneeling behind the "barricade" holding foreign guns with bayonets!
In addition to hundreds of female soldiers, Hong Xiuquan also brought 64 bearers this time. They were all strong men. By this time, they had formed a "foreign gun formation" in the yard of the Customs Yamen. It's just an eight-by-eight square formation, but the way everyone has a foreign gun on their shoulder and their bayonets gleaming coldly in the sun is really scary!
The "Christians" who had just been summoned from the docks of Jardine Matheson and Poshun Matheson by John Medus, Jiawei Lin, and William Mu, the missionaries from the London Missionary Society, were immediately frightened when they saw this scene. Stayed.
What is this situation?
Isn't this a lesson plan?
How come it's like keeping up with the battlefield?
"Mother Xipi, how can you survive this? Where is Mr. Mai, Mr. Mai?"
Chen Ji, who had already become the "number one coolie" at the Bund Yihe Matheson Terminal and Baoshun Matheson Terminal, had a cross hanging around his neck and an ax in his hand. He had just arrived at the Customs Yamen with one or two hundred Cao Gang disciples. Outside, I saw that the formation was already set up for battle.
After calling "Mr. Mai" a few times and not seeing any sign of Maidusi, he knew something was wrong and thought about whether to evacuate first. But at this moment, the sixty-four people waiting in the customs office were waiting. The "carriage" of the phalanx suddenly came out with a foreign gun while singing.
"Arrogance laughs at thousands of waves, hot blood beats the red sun"
"Mother Xipi, run away quickly!"
"If you can't beat me, run away."
Before Chen Ji could react, he had already dispersed behind him!
In addition to Mr. Chen and his men, there were one to two hundred Catholic foreigners and Chinese who heard that the God Worshipers had killed their bishop, and they all gathered outside the customs office to make a scene - anyway, these years In Shanghai, whenever there is a conflict between foreigners, foreign religions and Chinese, it is the Chinese who suffer!
So as soon as they heard that some Chinese dared to kill their bishop in the street, they immediately gathered and blocked the customs office to make some noise.
When they first arrived, they were quite powerful. In addition to them, there were hundreds of "Caobang parishioners" and many Protestants who were watching the fun. There were always thousands of people. But I didn't expect that the other side had a plan. In a fighting posture, a company of foreign riflemen rushed out, all carrying foreign rifles with bayonets!
Although there are not many people, they are really murderous and well-trained!
You can tell at a glance that he has been on the battlefield!
"Run!"
"Killing people!"
"God, the True Covenants are crazy."
"There's going to be a religious war!"
"Go to the British and French camps quickly!"
Among the foreigners and Chinese believers who were frightened by dozens of "True Testament" soldiers carrying foreign guns and running around, there were still some understanding people. They knew that at this time, there were only British soldiers in the French barracks, and the British and French soldiers in the French barracks took action. , only then can these "blasphemous" heresies be eradicated.
But when they rushed to the two military camps near the British and French legations, they found that someone had arrived before them!
I saw thousands of Shanghai New Army soldiers wearing blue and gray military uniforms. They had formed a phalanx outside the two military camps and blocked the gates of the military camps! They also arranged layers of barriers at the intersections!
Outside the British barracks, Captain Smith, who suffered a big loss last time when he attacked the customs office, was negotiating with Wang Dalong angrily.
"General Wang, we don't need your protection! Please leave immediately. I'm going to protect God's believers."
Although he was very angry, Captain Smith did not take a step out of the military camp, or even blew the rally call to summon the troops.
Wang Dalong, who was responsible for protecting the British barracks, smiled and said to Captain Smith: "Mr. Captain, don't worry, Commander Xueshua has returned to Shanghai, and he will definitely handle this religious war satisfactorily." He also feels very helpless during the war! There must always be a proper way to deal with it, after all, both of you are praying to the same God!"
