In Jiang's view, nothing should be left to one company, but proper competition, checks and balances, and supervision need to be maintained; otherwise, even if something seems good at first, it will take a long time without restraint and competition.
, the result of corruption is extremely fast.
For example, in another time and space, the Roman Catholic Church sells indulgence scrolls to make money, engages in unscrupulous political assassinations and promiscuous gangs in the city of Rome, uses excommunication as a bargaining chip, and treats secular princes as the cows of the church; or the Holy See again;
Later Protestant denominations.
Therefore, Jiang Tian felt that it was necessary to first establish an immune system within the army; or a theoretical system that is in line with the ideas and propositions of the Free Army to repel and prevent the influence of various external factions and trends. Just like the saying of later generations.
, if you don’t occupy it, it will be occupied by others.
And once something like religion secretly develops into blind faith or fanaticism, it will be a huge hidden danger that can overwhelm and push back the rulers; even if it can be suppressed, it will still be due to internal division and hatred, and under the confrontation,
The consequences of the Great Purge were heavy losses.
Of course, there are many clergy from the bottom within the Free Army; but while they are relatively down-to-earth and close to the people at the bottom, they have enough compassion and are relatively firm in changing the status quo, their general cultural level is limited. In-depth theory
Research is insufficient.
This ugly-looking and even disabled Father Laca is one of the very few outliers. It is said that he was once a graduate of the country's only capital higher church school, and he was also the former chief of the Kingdom's State Council, a powerful figure "terrifying"
The worshipers and adherents of "Qing".
However, because the tutor was involved in the major political events caused by the political faction advocating "Orientalism" in the kingdom, he was liquidated and implicated. As a result, he was tortured and tortured in prison, and he did not confess to the crime.
The tutor's unfavorable testimony eventually led to disability.
However, when the disabled and exhausted Lacha was finally released, he found that he was abandoned by the political faction to which his mentor belonged, as an outcast seeking compromise; his persistence became some kind of joke. Not only did he lose everything
Everything was sent to remote areas.
Therefore, Father Laca can be regarded as starting from the lowest level of the priesthood as a rural deacon, and gradually became a priest in a small city; then, because of his cynical character and sympathy for the poor, he was incompatible with the local aristocrats and rich gentry, and was suppressed.
Even slander and slander.
Therefore, he has repeatedly offended local powerful people, and he was a dog-eat-dog under his sanctimonious appearance; he also offended his colleagues in the saints; he, who kept his vows for life, could not help but fall into a trap, and was exposed to the public by a lady of high status but pregnant before marriage.
Refers to the biological father of the unborn son.
But at this time, no one defended or appealed for him, and even his colleagues as clergy and the superior church remained silent for this reason; he who refused to plead guilty and was dismissed and returned to secular life was quickly passed through annunciation and court trials.
The process led to him being imprisoned.
As a result, in prison, he suffered subsequent liquidation and torture from powerful people; for this reason, he almost lost an eye and one ear became mutilated. As a result, the local upper-class figures were concerned about the corruption in the church.
He was so rampant and lawless that he was completely in despair.
But this time, just when he thought he was going to die in prison, news came from the capital of the kingdom that the royal family had abdicated and a new government was established. Therefore, the local powerful people began to take turns replacing each other like the ebbing tide of the sea.
I don't care about the mere prisoners in the prison.
However, he was neither a political prisoner nor a religious prisoner, but was convicted as an ordinary criminal who committed the shameful crime of coercing women; therefore, he was never pardoned, and after appeals were made again and again, he only waited a long time.
Looking forward to the perfunctory replies and ridicule during the trial.
Then, just after his hair and beard had grown to the length of his knees, and he became seriously ill, suddenly, a big riot broke out in the local prison because of the newly admitted prisoners;
was released; but fainted from hunger and sickness.
When he woke up, he had already returned to the village where he was the deacon; but it was the few believers he had initially developed who happened to discover him and brought him back in an oxcart; so when he recovered
After coming here, he thought it was the Lord's revelation that he could live in poverty and live happily.
However, soon a collection team from a nearby noble manor suddenly appeared in this remote village that was temporarily free from external disturbances, and plunged them into a hell of blood and fire; these lackeys not only took away the entire village for the winter
rations and tried to steal young women.
So Father Laca stood up and couldn't bear it. He used a flail to smash the head of the steward. At the same time, he also opened up more than a dozen nearby villages that lacked resident clergy, so they gathered around him to jointly fight/counterattack all outsiders.
Prelude to Looters…
Therefore, Jiang Tian gave it to him and took the time to copy down some; during the modern national independence movement, liberation theology was born in Latin America. It advocates re-reading and interpreting the Bible in connection with the real situation of the general public, and combines church care with revolutionary action; it has a program
sexual content.
Although, in the eyes of socialist successors who grew up under the red flag, this kind of thing is full of petty bourgeois weakness and compromise reformist delusions; but in the surging national awakening movement in Latin America, it has been rejected by the old and new powers of Europe and the United States.
Considered as a flood beast.
Even the 266th contemporary living Pope, Francis, who was born in Latin America and the Jesuits, was also a member of the clergy of Liberation Theology. It was only during the final Latin American social reformism that Chilean President Allende was
Before overthrow, betrayal returns to the mainstream faction.
Therefore, compared with the general theoretical level of this era, it still has enough foresight and superiority. Of course, the Free Army will continue to uphold the so-called tolerant coexistence of religions on the surface. It acknowledges the status quo of beliefs, but does not allow any substance.
Interfere with worldly conduct.
Non-violent communication activities such as Bible debates and polemics are not prohibited in religious places. Anyone who dares to stand out and cross the line will be attacked with the force of the preliminary political machinery and even the military. The institutional setup corresponding to the management of the diocese has begun.
Instead of continuing to let things go.
Today, the six provinces controlled by the Free Army belong to the Southeast Archdiocese; there is one permanent archbishop, six (provincial) metropolitans, more than a hundred (county) diocesan bishops, and thousands of leading bishops and assistants.
They jointly respect the archbishop of the capital. Therefore, the first step is to conduct a census and survey of the remaining churches, monasteries, nunneries, and existing clergy. Then divide them into groups based on their specific attitudes and positions.
The different treatment and handling methods for the 3, 6 and 9 people.
Decide to remove, expel, exile, or execute them after trial; or maintain the status quo and retain their original positions, to be seen; or promote them on a merit-based basis. After all, in the kingdom, there are jokes about the corruption and depravity of the church, and there are various priesthoods up for grabs.
The rumors about Gu are no longer news.
After dealing with this matter quickly, Jiang Tian still wanted to find Marlena to do something else. But there was an untimely sound outside, and the chief secretary/registrar Andrew Tong said: "Sir, there is
Several military members who have made appointments have come to see you."
Seeing their faces full of anxiety and hesitation, Jiang Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Finally this scene has arrived. As the saying goes, they are full of warmth and miss the silver fish, and these people who have escaped from the imminent crisis can have enough food and clothing.
After a good rest, you will inevitably have time to come up with other ideas.
It happened that Jiang Tian had no time to supervise them, but gave them space to communicate and communicate privately; therefore, they were obviously possessed by the second senior brother, thinking about the possibility of splitting up their property and running away, and they mustered up the courage to come for a showdown.
.However, fortunately, no one in the crowd that Jiang Tian cared about was seen.
"Do you want to part ways and go all the way back to Corsica?" Jiang Fangsheng said proactively, causing their faces to change slightly, and those who followed him lowered their heads in shame.
Or they may cower and hide behind others for fear of being seen.
"Sir, please don't get me wrong. This is not rebellion or disobedience..." The leader was Aschet, the son of a young gentleman from Corsica. He blushed slightly despite the daily power of Jiang Dao.
With a straight face, he reluctantly begged: "There are just a bunch of poor people here who want to go home."
"The Jue of Extreme Chaos"
"Go home? We have been fighting side by side all this way. Did I stop or forbid you from going home?" Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "Why didn't you run away halfway before, but only now did you remember to go home?
?Do you feel that everything will be fine now that you have settled down for the time being?"
"I...we...don't mean to abandon our companions." Aschet couldn't help but feel increasingly dry, and said in a difficult voice: "We just feel that relying on the commander's skills and means, even without us,
Can……"
"You are wrong!" Jiang Tian interrupted him without hesitation: "Of course I don't insist on you following me, but! Are you sure that you can safely cross the entire Italian peninsula with these people? Or find
A suitable ship can go out to sea, overcome the maritime blockade, and return home safely?"
"In other words, have you ever thought about what is waiting for you on the island?" Jiang Tian interrupted the other party who was hesitating to speak: "Flowers? Applause? Honor or the embrace of a passionate young woman? Or the ubiquitous cold reception?
and evasion; or simply endless pursuit and escape?”
"In other words, you think that when the kingdom is so turbulent and chaotic, your family, your father and brother sent you out, but why?" Then he glanced at the silent people and continued to ask: "Is it possible?
Can they stop the invasion of the Latin Principality?"
After all, compared to the hundreds of miles of sea route distance from the mainland of the kingdom, which was used as a peace condition in the orthodox wars of previous generations, Corsica, which belongs to the kingdom, is actually closer to the mainland of the Italian peninsula; and to Sardinia
The Principality of Sardinia only has a narrow strait in the south.
Hearing this, many of them couldn't help but look ugly; but they remembered the scene when they left their hometown. Suddenly, some people seemed to realize that the companions who went with them on the expedition were all from the opposite tendency.
A family in the kingdom, or the most aggressive member.
Therefore, as the price for sending troops in the orthodox war, they were merged into the new territory of the kingdom not long ago. These people are more like some kind of blood donation paid to the kingdom, or they represent the people who are about to be jointly targeted by the independent faction and the local faction.
Sexual repression is one of the prices the Goodwill Kingdom Faction has to pay.
"If you are willing to stay and continue to serve the Free Army;" At this time, Jiang Tian said again: "In the near future, I will also give you a chance to return to your hometown with dignity; that will be under the escort of the navy.
Bring enough money, weapons and supplies to fight for freedom for your hometown and a chance for honor for you."
When everything is settled.
"You did a good job, Lieutenant Aschet. The information and inside information you provided in advance would have been even better." Afterwards, Jiang Tian praised Aschet, who was waiting in the shadows of the corridor: "At least it's better than I imagined."
The effect is much better. I don’t know, what kind of reward or reward do you want?”
"No need, all of this is an opportunity given to me by the chief." Aschet said respectfully, but without the embarrassment before. "As the chief said, since we have already left Corsica, so what?
If you can get nothing, go back to that barren island and let others slaughter you."
