Chapter 228 Little Punishment

Although the priests and guards of the Vision Knight were prohibited from using weapons, and the powerful spellcasters present did not take action for economic reasons, the believers of the fire-haired lady were quickly subdued.

For these rabble, organized and disciplined troops only need their fists to be more than enough.

Of course, their hammers and hammers did cause a few casualties, but it was not a big problem and there were no serious casualties.

Another good news is that the marble statue of the Knights of Vision was not damaged. A priest took several blows to his body to protect his faith.

This also allowed Ladislaus to avoid executing the opponent's blasphemer.

In fact, no one among the Suni believers who came to attack was killed. They were making a fuss after being caught.

"You heretics who want to die for arranged marriages actually knocked me unconscious and incited violence. Your Majesty, the fire-haired lady, will never forgive you." The old lady who had seemed "dead" just now was now full of life again.

"What's the use of your sissy non-violent protests like Long Live Free Love? We must show everyone our determination!" A man in red tights scolded the very arrogant woman in an extremely tired voice.

It took Ladislaus a few more minutes to figure out that Suni believers were divided into two rival church branches: "Long Live Free Love" and "Death to Arranged Marriage", and how to challenge the church of Barbarossa, the Knight of Vision.

There are different plans.

The Fire-haired Lady issued an oracle, stating that the Knights of Great Vision's emphasis on the need for well-matched marriages hindered mankind's pursuit of love and goodness, and asked her followers to prevent the spread of this numb belief to prove their piety.

The mayor's lady happens to be a devout Suni believer. She has always fantasized about romantic petty bourgeoisie love stories. In addition, old John and her prince charming every day and night can't see anything in common, so she decided to put herself

The church members were invited to the wedding to cause a lot of chaos.

The two branches of "Long Live" and "Go to Death" obviously have different understandings of how to deal with the erosion of the Vision Knight's faith.

It took no effort to get this information, and it didn't even require the use of torture. Just the threat of torture, these so-called devout believers did everything.

Of course, after a little study of Suni's teachings, Ladislaus also felt that this was normal, and that there would be believers for every god.

"Long Live Free Love" is intended to increase eyeballs through mass protests. "Death to Arranged Marriage" is intended to provoke government workers to fight back through smashing and then widely publicizing it through poets and musicians in their churches. The Knights of Vision Church suppresses humanity.

atrocities against humanity.

I have to say that both plans are pretty silly.

Of course, Ladislaus still had to respond to this challenge. However, he still rejected the suggestions of several Aspirational Knight Priests to severely punish them. It would be more cost-effective to deal with this kind of enemy in a low-key manner to avoid large-scale conflicts.

Of course, this does not mean that no one will be severely punished. After all, some petty bourgeoisie cannot be punished.

After screening, all the saboteurs who had vandalized were charged with "blaspheming the true God" and sent to hard labor camps to build the city wall. Whether they were long-haired musicians or Mohican painters in the past, they were all shaved and moved bricks on the construction site.

Of course, the punishment for women should be a little more lenient. At least that was the original intention. Even those who were beaten up were only sent to the "Female Morality Strengthening Education Center" for one year of forced study. Of course, there are rumors that this so-called education center has already

It was run by the manager into a de facto official sauna club and had many fans in Vienna. Ladislaus was not aware of it. The only reason to blame was

It’s because Austria’s supervision resources are not rich enough. Of course, there is also a rumor that this sauna club is actually the private property of His Royal Highness Jones, the head of the Austrian supervision system. Ladislaus is really convinced that this is a rumor.

According to Boss Sirica's report, the Austrian Secret Service has been relying on this income to fill the department's coffers for a hundred years. How could it be Jones's private property?

As long as Ladislaus can get a share of 20,000 to 30,000 talers and eight to ten female spies from this "Female Moral Strengthening Education Institute" next year, he will never believe any unfounded rumors.

As for the men and women who just cursed in the street, even the leader of "Long Live Free Love" only needs to publicly confess his crimes in the city square and tell the masses all the details of the conspiracy to "smear the great and glorious Knight of Ambitions".

After paying a fine of another hundred thalers, you can go home. If you can't pay the fine, then I'm sorry, just move bricks or sell yourself. If you don't have money, what "love and goodness" can you pursue?

Hey, did I just say that I sold myself? I meant "moral strengthening education".

You can take the black gold, but you can't take the blame.

Although Ladislaus handled the conflict carefully and effectively, he knew very well that the fight with the Suni Church had only just begun. The system task: "Handling the conflict with the Suni Church." was by no means a simple task.

Compared to Sirik, who is surrounded by powerful enemies, Suni is actually a greater threat.

Although His church does not have much strength and looks quite ridiculous in organization. But after all, He is the true God who is widely believed in and is definitely not easy to deal with.

However, Ladislaus could not figure out how to deal with this conflict for the time being. He could only order the chief executives of various places to implement a lenient policy against the interference of the Sune Church and try to avoid bloody conflicts.

Of course, the Sunian Church in Vienna must be banned. While showing tolerance, Ladislaus also unceremoniously declared that direct attacks on government-approved churches were absolutely over the line.

I have to say that the auction held after the Suni Church was confiscated still satisfied Ladislaus. Although many of the various works of art were sold openly and secretly, they were still sold to Ladislaus after being sent to Venice and Liguria for auction.

Sou's new town reconstruction project raised tens of thousands of thalers, which can be considered a small supplement.

But for the time being, the organized church of the Knights of Vision has become a bit of a phenomenon in Vienna, and in most areas, Cyric's faith still holds an absolutely overwhelming position.

So as long as the situation in Vienna is under control, there won't be much of a problem in other areas.

It's up to Suni and Barbarossa's priests to show their talents.

Old John returned to Friuli with his new wife smoothly, although it is said that some unseemly coercive measures were used, but Ladislaus did not care about the relationship between the husband and wife.

The mayor of Vienna did not receive any further punishment after he funded the renovation of the Church of the Knights of Vision. Ladislaus just urged him to continue fighting corruption and raising funds for himself.

Regarding the issue of faith, Ladislaus still planned to expand his power step by step from Vienna, without actively provoking a fight.

However, his peaceful life was once again broken by a letter from Madrid. This time it was not a personal letter from the emperor, but an official letter of credence.
