Chapter 121 You have black magic, I have the Lord Jesus! (On the shelves tomorrow
"What? What do you say? The Grandson of Zhu San of Chaozhou? How is this possible? How dare they offend the powerful Portugal, oh, and England that is more powerful than Portugal? Figo, Goff, are you mistaken? Are the Qing soldiers pretending to be Grandson of Zhu San?"
"No, no, we are not wrong. That is indeed the army of Zhu San Taisun!"
"Governor General, we were kidnapped by Zhu Sansun in Dahao."
"Shameless! Despicable! Absolutely unforgivable!"
On the wall of St. Paul's Battery, the Portuguese Governor Rotoni, who found that something was wrong, had just issued an order for all the Portuguese to withdraw into the fortress and prepare for the war in full. Before he could take a breath and calm down, he waited for the envoys sent by Zhu Hezang.
Charlie Goff and De Figo planned to explain the situation first, and then make Zhu and Kao's request, but before they could finish everything they should say, Rotoni got furious.
He thought he was attacked by the Qing Dynasty soldiers, so he remained quite calm and could not go to Beijing to be a "slave Luo Dongni". He had already inquired about it. Although the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty wanted to call themselves "slaves", they were actually nobles.
He, a governor of Macau, would be able to win a gang leader no matter how he wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Maybe he could become a bigger official and be greedy for more money!
Being a bannerman and official of the Qing Dynasty also has a benefit to marry many wives legally! And it is said that you can continue to believe in God and kill two birds with one stone!
So Rotoni is not very resistant to being a bannerman. The question is just how big a bannerman he is!
But when he heard that the raid of Macau was Zhu San's grandson from Chaozhou, he was immediately anxious.
Zhu San Taisun did not have the Eight Banners Master to be his!
Moreover, Zhu San Taisun's career was just beginning, with only half of Chaozhou territory. The Qing Dynasty had already ruled several of the entire China.
With such a huge gap in strength, how could Zhu San Taisun achieve the final victory?
If he defects to Zhu San Grandson now, if Zhu San Grandson fails in the future, wouldn’t he be beaten up?
This doesn't work!
"Governor," Charlie Goff's heart was of course also towards the Portuguese, so at this time he kindly reminded, "This Grandson Zhu San is likely to have mastered the powerful black magic!"
"Black Magic?" Rotoni was stunned, and his expression immediately became serious.
"That's right, it's black magic!" Charlie Goff nodded, "It is said that it is a magic handed down by an ancient Chinese wizard named Zhuge Liang. It can greatly enhance the power of gunpowder. It can also use magic to create a lot of smoke."
"What? You said that the smoke just now was made by Zhu San Taisun's wizard using magic?"
"Yes!" Charlie Goff nodded with certainty, "That's the evil black magic!"
"Charlie, you can't say this in Macau!" A majestic voice suddenly remembered and interrupted the ongoing conversation.
Charlie Goff looked in the voice and saw an old man wearing black clothes, a little Red Riding Hood, and a red belt around his waist.
Charlie Goff subconsciously frowned. He knew the old man. The old man was named Paul Santos, who was the current Bishop of Macau.
Macau is different from Dahao. Macau is not only the largest trading port on China's coast at this time, but also a large base of Catholics on Chinese land.
There are eleven branches of the Catholic Brotherhood in this tiny land in Macau, as well as St. Paul's Theological Seminary, which specializes in cultivating clergy for dioceses in China, North Korea, Vietnam and Japan, and St. Paul's Cathedral, which is affiliated to St. Paul's Theological Seminary.
In addition, although the Catholic Bishop of Macau is not a cardinal, it governs missionary affairs in China, Japan, North Korea and the Indochina Peninsula, and is highly entrusted.
The current Bishop Santos is old and confused, and is still a staunch opponent of the "Chinese rules". He even opposed Chinese believers' worship of ancestors and Confucius, let alone China's black magic?
Now the Portuguese, who was white-bearded and looked like Santa Claus, also brought several priests, and with the support of a legal illegitimate son of Portuguese and Japanese, he climbed the wall of the fortress and heard Charlie Goff's words.
"Mr. Goff, please pay attention to your words!" The old man had no choice but to dislike the believers of the Anglican Church. When he heard Charlie Goff say "black magic" and immediately said righteously, "As a believer of God, how can you advocate the black magic of pagans? This is a dangerous heretic idea!"
Heresy!
Those who are going to be burned to death!
When he heard this, De Figo and Ji Dabao didn't dare to speak. They were both "not fire-proof" Catholics!
However, Charlie Goff is used to freedom and does not know the power of the stake. Moreover, he is a member of the Anglican Church in the British. The Catholic stake cannot burn the Anglican Church believers, otherwise it will trigger a religious war. Mr. Sang cannot take the blame!
"Master Bishop, it's not that I advocate black magic, but that I'm seeking truth from facts!" Charlie Goff said to Mr. San, "They really have black magic, which is different from what you say he has black magic! Your stake has no effect on pagans who really have black magic, otherwise the Ottoman sultans should have been burned to death long ago!"
Santos was so angry that his beard was almost blown up by this heretic of the Anglican Church, but the Anglican Church had a big fist, so the believers were "fire-proof" and could not burn it!
At this time, his illegitimate son Antonio Santos, who spent money to ask the Pope to become a regular, came to the old man's ear and muttered a few words, and the old man immediately had something to say.
"Mr. Goff, the Nan Huairen brothers have submitted a report to the Roman Inquisition Department whether there is really something. The Holy See will send someone to find out. Even if it does, God will help us overcome the black magic!"
As he said that, the old man drew a cross on his chest. Then a group of foreigners who believed in Roman Catholicism, half-foreigners and fake foreigners also drew a cross. I don’t know if the master in heaven saw it? Anyway, everyone’s confidence suddenly became more and more secure.
Then, the old man loudly announced: "I will go to St. Paul's Cathedral now and lead all the teachers and students of St. Paul's Theological Seminary to pray to God, and ask God to help us overcome the enemy's black magic!"
As soon as he heard that the old man was going to come forward to invite God himself, the backs of the God believers present suddenly became hard.
It is impossible for black magic to defeat God!
It is impossible for gunpowder weapons without magic to break the strong defense of St. Paul's turret. So no matter how you calculate it, he can defend the turret for the time being.
If Zhu San Taisun wanted to seize the large turret with thirty-six 12-pound long cannons, the only way was to siege.
Thinking of this, Rotoni said to Charlie Goff and Ji Dabao with confidence: "You go back and tell Zhu Sansun that his Ming Dynasty had long been destroyed. Macau now belongs to the Kingdom of Portugal, and his current behavior is a rough invasion of the territory of the Kingdom of Portugal!"
Charlie Goff added: "In fact, he also violated the interests of the Kingdom of England and the British East India Company." He glanced at the old man Santos, with a look of righteous indignation, "Father, if you can really ask God to help us defeat the black magic of Zhu Sansun, I am very happy to see him being captured by soldiers from England and Portugal and sent to the gallows!"
"It's the stake!" After the old man said that, he led the legitimate illegitimate son and a group of men to pray to God.
"Yes!" Rothony pointed his head and said to Charlie Goff, "Mr. Goff, please tell Mr. Zhu Sansun that no matter what despicable black magic he possesses, he cannot break through the indestructible St. Paul's Fortress!
Moreover, we Portuguese are all children of God. We have God's blessing and are not afraid of his black magic. If we are willing to leave the territory of the Kingdom of Portugal immediately, release the detained hostages, and make corresponding compensation, then the kind Portuguese can forgive his faults!
